A/N: Double drabble.
Winter was in its death throes at last, which meant the weather could only be described as deranged. Yesterday, temperatures had hit the low seventies, but had plummeted overnight, leading to ground frost, and this morning the city had awoken to heavy, wet snow, a most unwelcome sight.
The city hadn’t shut down though, it wasn’t considered THAT bad, so schools remained open, and people still had to go to work, unless they were lucky enough to have the day off. That wasn’t the case for two of New York’s finest, so Dee and Ryo were facing a dismal day of coping with miserable weather while trying to do their jobs. If they could have stayed at the precinct, they might not have minded so much, but when were they ever that lucky?
“It’s a sad day when a respected NYPD detective winds up in the gutter,” Dee said solemnly, gazing down at his partner, trying not to smirk, but failing.
Ryo glared up at his lover, unimpressed. “Asshole!” He’d misjudged where the edge of the sidewalk was under all the snow, slipping on the curb and landing in a heap. “The least you could do is help me up!”
The End
