drabble_zone, using Challenge 48: Growing Older But Not Up.Setting: After the manga.
Summary: Dee doesn’t understand why Ryo is always so determined to behave like an adult, even when no one else is watching.
Disclaimer: I don’t own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.
A/N: Double drabble.
“Race you to the bottom!” Dee said, grinning, as he and Ryo paused their bikes at the top of the hill, a long downward slope stretching away ahead of them.
“Dee!” Ryo’s expression seemed stuck halfway between a frown and a grin. “We’re not ten, we’re supposed to be adults!”
“So what?” Dee rubbed the back of his neck; Ryo’s need to always behave like a grown-up never ceased to baffle him. “Look, sure, we gotta get older, don’t get no choice ‘bout that, but there’s no law says we always gotta act our age. What’s the point of still bein’ alive if we never get to do any of the fun stuff we did when we were younger? Sounds pretty borin’ to me.”
Ryo bit his lip. “D’you think I’m boring?”
“’Course not, babe, but it still wouldn’t hurt ya to loosen up a little ‘stead of always worryin’ ‘bout appearances. We got a nice, straight hill here, no traffic… Don’t ya wanna feel the wind rushin’ past ya, goin’ as fast as ya can?”
“Fine, but if one of us falls off and breaks something, you can be the one who explains it to the chief on Monday!”
The End
