Rain
a FAKE story
by obtuse_dream
It had rained last night; not too hard, not too gently. As the rising sun shone through the windows of the apartment, a figure shuddered beneath the covers, the other snoring softly. A auburn head poked out from beneath the comfort of the covers, squinting at the sunlight, he looked over at the man he called lover. Tousled black hair, smooth skin with a tan hint to it. His mouth was partially opened and soft snores escaped his lips. He had one arm draped over Ryo's.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. And he was all his. Ryo smiled to himself and sniffled before snuggling closer to the darker man. Suddenly, he scrunched up with a sneeze. "HehShoo!
The younger man, Dee, stirred, green eyes staring lazily at his lovers onyx ones. "Ryo?" he called out softly.
"HehChissh!" was Ryo's response.
This time, Dee sat up, concern forming in his eyes. Ryo rubbed at his nose and sniffled quietly, feeling a little nervous under Dee's stare.
"You alright baby?" Dee's voice was low, laced with concern. He reached out a hand, brushing a few stray hairs from Ryo's face. Ryo smiled before smothering a cough into his pillow, groaning at the soreness in his throat.
"I'll take that as a no." his lover frowned. He pulled Ryo close to him , noting how unusually warm he felt. "How did you catch a cold?"
"Mmphff!" Ryo muffled a sneeze into his pillow before rolling his eyes at him. "As if you didn't know." he muttered.
Dee raised an eyebrow. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"Remember, " Ryo sniffled and coughed before continuing. "last night?"
At this, Dee grinned. "Well yeah, and if my memory serves me right., you didn't exactly protest against it." he smirked.
"Yeah well-EhShoo! HehChoo! sniff Iishh!" Ryo sneezed suddenly.
Dee rubbed a hand comfortingly on Ryo's arm. "Bless you." he said softly.
Ryo smiled at him in return before sighing. "Well I guess there's no point complaining."
"Especially when you were enjoying it so much." Dee nuzzled Ryo's neck despite the older man's protest.
"Dee, I...heh..HehShissh! HuhChoo!" he pushed Dee away so he wouldn't sneeze on him.
Dee watched his lover reach over to the opposite side for the tissues sitting on the night stand. After Ryo finished blowing his nose, he looked up slowly at Dee's frowning face. He was going to say something, but coughed instead.
"Im sorry." Dee pulled Ryo to him, half cradling him. Ryo continued staring at him, from a different angle this time.
"We should've went straight home once it started to-"
"Dee, it's alright." Ryo smiled at him tiredly.
"But-"
"How were we suppose to know that it was gonna rain right then?" he sniffled. "Besides, it was worth it."
Dee looked into those dark eyes and smiled. "Yeah, it was. But now your sick because of it."
"True. However, let's try to think of it in a positive way."
Dee raised an eyebrow again. "You catching a cold positive?" he shook his head. "Must be the fever talking." he placed a palm to Ryo's pale, warm forehead.
Ryo placed his own hand on top of his, slowly guiding it down to his cheek. "No, it's not the fever Dee." his eyes were suggesting something that Dee was starting to figure out.
"Oh, I see." he grinned. "A nice excuse to call in from work. But you do realize that we can't really do anything."
"Must you always think so dirty?" Ryo smirked.
"Well..." Dee trailed off suggestively.
"What's wrong with just you and me snuggling?"
"Snuggling?"
"Unless you don't....HihTChoo! sniffs don't want to. I understand. After all, I don't want you catch-" Ryo was unable to finish as he lips were crushed against Dee's in a passionate kiss. Dee pulled away slowly, licking his lips. "What were saying?"
Ryo shook his head, turning around so he could hug him better. "Nothing."
"Thought so. I'll just ring the chief and tell him we're both out sick."
"Both of us?" it was now Ryo's turn to raise an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I think I might be getting sick myself." he wrinkled his nose before quickly turning his head to sneeze freely , as if to prove his point. "IiShuh!" he sniffled loudly , meeting Ryo's surprised expression. "See?"
Ryo could only laugh as he pushed Dee down on the bed, snuggling against his chest. "Really Dee."
"What? I...oh wait, I feel another one..." he let his breath catch as he geared up for the next sneeze. Ryo watched as Dee's eyes slowly closed, his mouth falling open, nostrils flaring ever so slightly as his breathing became uneven. "Iiih...heh...eh....HIKCHOO!" sneezing explosively to the side, Dee sniffled rubbing a fist against his nose.
Ryo plucked out several tissues, handing them to Dee, who blew his nose loudly. Ryo couldn't help but feel sympathetic despite his own condition. "Well I guess we should go on and call in." he coughed.
"How about later? Right now let's do some SWS."
"SWS?" Ryo asked.
"Snuggling Without Sex." he chuckled at Ryo's expression.
"Oh Dee." Ryo sighed, faking annoyance. He chuckled as well,snuggling close to him beneath the sheets while Dee wrapped an arm around him. "Love you." he said before drifting off to sleep.
"Love you too." Dee replied around a yawn before he too, drifted off to sleep.
