A/N: This one’s a double drabble and a half, 250 words.
Ryo wandered around his living room at a loss, not knowing what to do with himself. A year ago, he’d been used to living alone and the silence hadn’t bothered him in the least, but now it felt like a suffocating weight pressing down on him. Bikky was away at summer camp and the apartment seemed too big, empty, and quiet without the boisterous young boy.
He considered turning on the TV, just for background noise, but it wasn’t really noise he wanted; it was company. He absently rubbed the back of his neck; maybe he could go to a bar or something.
Before he could make up his mind, there was a knock on the door, and on opening it, he found Dee standing in the hallway, laden with bags.
“Dee! What’re you doing here?”
“Cable’s out at my place, I was hopin’ you’d let me watch the game here?” Dee held up his bags. “I brought beer, burgers, and extra fries as a bribe.” A dark eyebrow rose enquiringly and Ryo laughed at Dee’s hopeful expression.
“Come in and make yourself at home; I’ll get the plates.”
“Thanks, partner, you’re the best!” Handing the food to Ryo, Dee entered, closing the door behind him, tugged off his boots, and crossed to the TV, turning it on before flopping onto the sofa and opening two beers. Ryo joined him a few minutes later with napkins and the plated food, smiling happily.
A bit of company made all the difference.
The End

Date: 2016-11-03 11:26 pm (UTC)Oh! Okay. Lemme think...I'm still trying to catch up with your fic, so I don't know what you have/haven't done. (I'm in the market for dark-fic prompts, if you happen to think of anything. Once my brain gets on a tangent, it's hard to get off it, lol.)
Maybe a bet having either embarrassing or naughty consequences, depending on who made the bet? Or an in-office prank, meant for any of the others, accidentally targeting the Chief, instead? Oh, dear; I just thought of Dee and Bikky having a food fight. Secret admirers (or stalkers, since one could easily turn into the other)? Hair of the dog (in pretty much any sense)? Checkerboard (literal, as a pattern, etc.)?
I'm not sure if I'm a good prompt-giver, but maybe those will spark something. :) <3
