A/N: Double drabble.
There’d been a time when Dee would have been out of breath long since, but here he was, matching Ryo stride for stride, twelve miles into a fifteen-mile run. For the first time, he was beginning to think that maybe running the New York Marathon with his lover this year might not be as impossible as it had sounded when Ryo had suggested it after the last marathon.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t tired, or at least tiring, because they’d been running for a long time and still had three miles to go, but they’d been training together for months, gradually working up to longer distances as Dee’s body had adjusted. Running after suspects was a very different animal, a sprint rather than a test of endurance, but at least it had meant he was pretty fit already when Ryo had cajoled him into giving it a try, and now, to Dee’s surprise, he was kind of enjoying it.
There was something curiously satisfying about beating his previous best time over whatever distance, about finishing a run and not feeling like his legs might drop off if he made any sudden movements.
He might just be able to do this.
The End
