A/N: This one’s a double drabble.
They’d been going through a rough patch recently, both of them short tempered and too tired to do anything but fall into their own beds at night, yet never getting enough sleep. Eventually, something had to give.
The argument had started over something trivial that had quickly been blown out of all proportion and in minutes they’d been yelling and swearing at each other, venting their frustrations with their current case until at last they ran out of steam, breathing hard and glaring at each other.
Who made the first move, neither one was sure in the aftermath, but before they knew it they were kissing passionately, clawing at each other’s clothes and tripping over feet as they tried to reach the bedroom without losing contact, feeling that they might die if they stopped kissing.
Dee decided it was a good thing that Bikky was staying over at Carole’s that night. Ryo had never been so unashamedly vocal, screaming Dee’s name and pleading “More” and “Harder” until he was hoarse. Dee matched him for sheer volume, screaming his pleasure until they finally collapsed, utterly spent.
That night they slept better than they had in weeks, wrapped in each other’s arms.
The End
