drabble_zone.Setting: After Vol. 7.
Summary: Dee is not enjoying himself anywhere near as much as Ryo is.
Disclaimer: I don’t own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.
A/N: Double drabble.
“Show some mercy!” Dee groaned theatrically. “You’re a hard man, and not in the good way right now.”
Ryo laughed. “Complaining already? A hike will help loosen your stiff muscles.”
“Not stiff; abused!” Dee grumbled. “And it’s not my muscles that’re the problem. Well, not JUST that.” He was so sore he felt like he could hardly walk. “Why can’t someone invent a saddle that doesn’t leave a guy feelin’ raw and chafed in sensitive places? And why do horses gotta be so goddamn wide?”
“I did warn you you’d be saddle sore afterwards.”
“You’re not!”
“Not true. I’m sore too, it’s been a while since I last rode a horse, I’m just not complaining about it. And I did tell you your jeans might be a bit tight for horseback riding.”
“Yeah, but ya didn’t tell me WHY they might not be the best choice.” Dee hobbled along in Ryo’s wake, wincing. “Goin’ hikin’ today is a cruel and unusual punishment.”
“You could’ve refused to come with me, stayed back at the guest house.”
“Oh, like I’m gonna let ya go off somewhere by yourself. Anything could happen to ya alone out here.”
“We’ve not even left town yet!”
The End
