chapter 1
friday
    

    

"do you have to move to a completely different state? and florida, at that," ryan whines as he watches his brother pack a rather small suitcase considering the extension of his stay in florida.

"enough with the florida slander. i might even stay longer if you keep it up." sapnap turns and looks at the boy leaning back against his headboard.

"oh please. we both know you're not coming back." the younger boy grabs one of the pillows and holds it in his lap.

the two brothers are really close, and have been since their parents got a divorce. ryan, especially, doesn't have many friends, leaving sapnap as his only option for a best friend.

but aside from having no one else, nick is always there for ryan and vice versa.

sapnap bites on his upper lip guiltily.

"yeah, that's true. but hey, you're getting out of here soon too. have you decided who's offer you're taking?" nick asks as he walks over to his closet and pulls out a larger suitcase.

ryan has started taking his modeling a little more seriously, as silly as that may sound. he always thought instagram would be the only modeling "job" he'd be apart of but companies have started asking to have him in their ads and agencies have started reaching out to him.

of course, they're all located outside of texas. not that he's complaining, he'd love to move away.

"uh, honestly i think i might take the one in miami," he mumbles. nicks eyes land on him and they stare at each other for a moment.

ryan sits up and waves his arms around as he talks, "ok, don't look at me like that. it's not entirely because you'll be there, i actually feel the most comfortable with them because they aren't so...controlling? i don't know how to explain it. please don't be mad."

nick starts to laugh, "i'm not mad, ry. i'm just surprised since you've been making fun of my choice to move to florida for the past hour and a half."

ryan scoffs and throws the purple pillow in his lap at nick who threw his hands up but didn't stop laughing.

"so do i get to actually meet your boyfriend before you move in together?" ryan teases, scooting closer to his brother.

nick stuffs a few more items in the small suitcase, attempting to zip it shut.

"nope. not my boyfriend and he doesn't show his face, remember?" sapnap says with a struggle from fighting the zipper.

ryan sits up on his knees and then on top of the suitcase, "but i'm an exception i'm different."

he finally pulls the zipper along easily and lets out a huff, "how are you different?"

"because i'm family, i'm your brother? i need to make sure he's not a weirdo or something that you're just moving in with."

nick gives him an 'are you fucking serious' look.

"you know dream. you've talked to him before, i've known him forever."

"yeah, well..." ryan looks up and shrugs, "i just wanna know what he looks like! every time you describe him, you're literally describing the man of my dreams."

sapnap rolls his eyes, lifting up the other suitcase into the bed. "oh my god, i'm not letting you hit on my friends."

"i'm not! i'm hitting on one of your friends." ryan says, earning himself a slap on his sweater-clad arm.

"ow! i was kidding!"

sapnap glares at him, "you're not meeting him."

ryan huffs and stands up.

"but what if i wanna hang out with you?" he walks over to the half empty desk against the wall.

"then i'll drive to you and hang at your place. if you're sure you're taking the deal in miami, that's gonna be like 3 hours from me. we aren't gonna hang out as much as you think." sapnap looks over at his brother who was holding a framed picture of the two.

"i'm not gonna be living in miami, i can't afford that. that's just where their headquarters is." ryan mumbles while putting the picture back down on the desk.

"where're you gonna live then?" sapnap asks.

"halfway between orlando and miami? i'll figure it out." ryan turns around to face sapnap.

"well i mean- i'm leaving soon...like 3 days. so i can't really help you with finding an apartment and where you're gonna live–"

"nick. i never said you needed to help me. i'm a big boy now, i can do things on my own. plus, i'll just ask dad if i need help."

sapnap sighs. he knows ryan is right but it's that older brother protectiveness that doesn't want to believe it.

"okay." he goes back to folding his shirts and putting them in the suitcase.

"okay..." ryan looks around awkwardly, "do you want me to help you finish so you're actually done by monday?"

"fuck you," sapnap says, throwing some of his shirts at the boy.
