Title: Not What You Think
Fandom: FAKE
Author: [livejournal.com profile] badly_knitted
Characters: Dee. Mentions JJ and Ryo.
Rating: PG-13
Setting: Vol. 1, Act 3
Summary: A peep at Dee’s thoughts, angry that JJ’s sudden appearance and subsequent behaviour may have jeopardised his chances of seducing Ryo.
Word Count: A double drabble, 200 words exactly.
Warnings: None required
Written For: Challenge #81: Amnesty – using Challenge 43: Not What It Looks Like.
Disclaimer: I don’t own FAKE, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Sanami Matoh.
A/N: I have no idea what tense this is written in. If anyone knows, please tell me; I can only identify past or present tense, anything else I have no clue, lol!



‘I’m a cop, I’m a cop, I can’t kill him, it’s against the law,’ Dee repeated over and over in his head, fists clenched and teeth gritted, hanging on to his self control by his fingernails.

God dammit, why couldn’t JJ accept that he wasn’t interested? Every damn time they met he found himself trying to fend off the unwanted attention. It was like dealing with a small, excitable puppy crossed with an octopus. Maybe a touch of leech in there too, considering how tightly JJ could cling. For a little guy, he was stronger than he looked.

And what was with the kissing? Right in front of Ryo too! Fuck, how the hell was he going to explain that to his partner? Man, he was having the worst day! So much for thinking he’d escaped JJ for good by moving.

‘Okay, guess it’s time for some damage control, if it isn’t already too late.’

“Ryo, this isn’t what you think it is!”

On the other hand, was that hurt he saw in those beautiful dark eyes? Could it be that Ryo was more interested than he let on?

‘Well,’ Dee congratulated himself smugly, ‘that’s something I can work with.’

The End

Oh lovely! Poor Dee, lol!
"a small, excitable puppy crossed with an octopus" Omg I'm dying! That's SO accurate!! x'D

It's so hard to find (good) FAKE fanfiction that's set during the manga, especially at such an early stage, so I'm always happy whenever I come across one like this! ^_^

*grins* Thank you! I seem to be fixated on volume 1 at the moment. I have several drabbles written that take place near the start of the manga, I just haven't had a chance to post any of them yet due to having to post two Torchwood drabbles a day for the current drabble challenge. I'd never get them all posted before the next challenge otherwise

JJ is nearly impossible to fend off, despite being small, I'm sure Dee is convinced he has more arms than other people.

It's a great scene because it says so much about the characters.

That is perfect. Dee is really good about finding the bright spots and focusing on them.

I think that's all that kept him going in his pursuit of Ryo, focussing on those little hints that maybe, just maybe, there was a chance he'd get his man eventually.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked this. I'm working on some FAKE drabbles which I'll be posting on my own journal too. I've read the manga I don't know how many times, but I've only just started writing in the fandom. I'm still finding my way with the characters and the setting, it's very different from my main fandom, Torchwood. Speech patterns in particular are different.

I totally agree that it was the little, often subconscious, hints that kept Dee going.

I'm looking forward to reading more of your drabbles. Do you mind if I friend you?

The syntax and the phrasing is very different between the two so I can see where it would be a challenge. You did a good job with capturing Dee's voice.

I'd be very happy to be friended. =)

I have a link on my sidebar to my FAKE master list - not much on it yet, but I have more to post when I can find the time, I've just been rather overloaded with Torchwood drabbles for a challenge, posting two a day which is really all I can fit in. That challenge has ended though, so hopefully I'll get a new FAKE drabble up soon, maybe even today.

There's also the difference between American and British when it comes to choice of words. I'm British, so I've found Ianto easy to write and for some reason, Jack too. Dee is very New York, so that's going to be difficult for me to get to grips with. Ryo is a little easier, he's so polite. Interactions between Dee and Bikky are... rather unique, so I'm a bit bothered about trying to write those. They seem to bring out the worst in each other.

I'm not sure Ryo even realised he was giving away hints that he was interested. I've thought from the start that at some level, Ryo always knew he was gay but was in denial, desperately trying to pretend that he was straight. When Dee came into his life though, the walls started to crumble until he had no choice but to accept who he really was. Dee's such a force of nature, in the end resistance was futile.

Dee and Bikky are rude to each other, but with an undertone of affection that is tough to capture.

Hence my hesitation, lol! I don't want to get it wrong.

Ack, I seriously need more FAKE icons...
