Bikky had been so small when Ryo had first met him, a scrawny little ten-year-old, all scraped knees and elbows, and tousled blond hair. Looking at him now, already a couple of inches taller than Dee, was disconcerting. When had he stopped being a little boy and grown into a man?

 
It seemed like only yesterday that Ryo had brought that grieving little boy home with him and promised to take care of him, no matter what. But he was eighteen now; how had the last eight years flown by so fast? That was life though; time just kept moving forwards, and Ryo had been busy, not just with raising his adopted son, but with his job as an NYPD detective, and his relationship with his partner. Most days, he’d scarcely had tine to breathe, pulled in several directions at once.
 

Now, here Bikky was, all grown up, busy trying to sort out what to take with him to college in the fall. He would be leaving for L.A. in just a few short weeks, probably wouldn’t be home again until Thanksgiving…
 

Raising a child had been hard work, but Ryo suspected the hardest part of parenthood was letting go.
 

 
The End

Part of the fun of reading your stories is guessing which fandom they'll belong to based on the titles. I got this one right.
