Dee’s hair is completely silver now, and Ryo’s is turning white, but thankfully isn’t falling out. Yet. He can deal with white hair, but he’s pretty sure baldness wouldn’t be a good look on him. He’s not vain about his appearance the way Dee always has been, but he’s always tried to look good. He just has less to work with than Dee, who even now could easily be mistaken for an actor, or male model. He’s that handsome, and he’s aged gracefully.
 

Ryo’s doing okay as well, at least physically. He’s not overweight, still keeps himself fit with running, and martial arts, but he’s pushing seventy and he’s slowed down a bit over the last couple of years. So has Dee, the natural result of ageing, but…
 

Sometimes Ryo wishes they could both be young again, full of energy, living life to the max. What he wouldn’t give to turn back the clock. Not too much, just twenty or thirty years, when there was still so much time ahead of them. He’s keenly aware that time is running out; neither of them know how many years they have left.
 

At least age hasn’t dimmed their love for each other.

I am smiling at the idea of the two of them growing old together. I bet both are still gorgeous.

Of course they are, they've taken care of themselves, and each other.

Thank you!
