I'll Always Be By Your Side. (Ryden)

Chapter 15:

Ryan's POV

"Do you think the others suspect anything?" Brendon's face turned thinking about the question. I wouldn't be surprised if they did know considering they live on this bus with us. I can't exactly tell how loud we are either.

"I feel like they probably have a suspicion." His arms wrapped around me tighter pulling me closer to his warm chest. I rotated my body so we can face each other. Our legs are intertwined in a confusing tangle, and I let my hands run through his already messy hair to give them something to do.

"That's exactly what I thought." I nuzzled my head in the crook of his neck letting myself into him. I wonder what time it is? I then realized, "I never took a shower after tonight's show." Brendon looked at me with that, "what the fuck are you going on about?" face and laughed.

"You aren't wearing your stage makeup though." I sighed and went to sit up but Brendon pulled me back down. "No, stay don't leave." I rolled my eyes at him.

"I washed it off before I left the venue in the bathroom. I was waiting for everyone else to get theirs, but since you had the first shower you came to me right afterwards and we've been," I paused so I could find the right word, "distracted," my voice is low and soft as my finger traced Brendon's smooth jawline.

"So, what exactly are you implying?" I smirked at him and reached for his hand to grab. "Hey, what if someone is up still?"

"Well, then I will get in and you can just say you're getting a drink." He sighed behind me as I tumbled out. I looked at him and noticed something. "Bren, your boxers are on backwards." He made a 'huh' noise and looked down.

"Fucking hell," he breathed out in frustration. "Cover me if someone comes in." I cocked an eyebrow at him and reached for his pajama pants that are laying in the bunk.

"There'd be no point if you're just going to join me in the shower." Brendon shook his head and slid on his pants. I opened the door and looking around the lounge area to see no one in here. Maybe everyone is asleep?

"I think it's clear," I whispered as arms wrapped around my waist and kisses planted delicately on my neck. "I'm going to go get in and you can meet me in there." I moved Brendon's hands off of me and walked into the bathroom.

After a couple minutes later the shower curtain opened and another body joined me.

"Hey, why don't you let me help you?" I chuckled and met his pretty muddy eyes.

"Bren, I think I can take care of myself." He refuses break the gaze as he massages his fingers into my scalp. Nothing sexual is happening. So far, it's all pretty innocent. I couldn't help but let my eyes roam as the water falls down his perfect body. "You're so beautiful." He stopped and slid his hands onto the back of my neck.

"Stop talking about yourself, Ry." I shook my head and stepped closer to him. I can't take my eyes off of his slender body and porcelain face. He's truly just mesmerizing.

"No, you are. I have always been infatuated with you. You're perfect. Everything about you is perfect. Don't ever doubt it." He stopped looking at me; I placed my hands on the sides of his face to make him meet my eyes. "I love you. I love you so much." I'm staring intently into Brendon's eyes while his began to soften and slightly glisten.

"Do you really think all of that?" I responded with a nod. He placed his lips on mine. I can tell the water is beginning to turn cold but now that doesn't matter. The kiss is warm and sweet. Finally, I know what everyone means when they describe that perfect kiss. This is that. No words can be placed on this feeling. It's beyond bliss and perfect is an understatement.
