A/N: Double drabble.
“Hey, what’s up?” Dee asked his partner, dropping so heavily into his desk chair that it squeaked in protest.
Ryo, who’d been sitting with his elbows on his desk, staring pensively into the coffee mug cradled in his hands, sat up straight, startled by the unexpected sound, then yelped as coffee sloshed over lip of the mug, wetting his hand. Thankfully, he’d been staring at it for so long it was no more than lukewarm, so he didn’t burn himself.
“What did you do that for?”
“Sorry, thought you knew I was here.” Dee helpfully passed tissues across their desk, so Ryo could mop up the mess.
Dropping the sodden tissues in his bin and checking that his sleeve hadn’t gotten too wet, Ryo frowned across at his lover. “Did you ask me something, right before you nearly killed your chair?”
“Yeah, I asked what was up. You looked kinda… blue, I guess.”
“Probably because I feel kinda blue.”
“Okay, I’ll bite. What gives?”
“Nothing really, it’s just… Bikky’s growing up.”
“Yeah, kids do that.”
“He doesn’t need me the way he used to.”
“News flash, babe. That kid’s always gonna need you. You’re his dad. Nothin’s gonna change that.”
The End
