RYAN E.┊invade

you and jacob were close, no matter your opposite taste. jacob being the popular, athletic one and you were the emo, lonely one. he was your best friend but oh, did he get on your last nerve.

your last night at the mr. h's beloved camp. spent playing truth or dare with your fellow work friends. jacob had finally gotten a turn to ask someone and he chose you. out of all people, he picked you. "y/n. truth or dare?" you sighed, absolutely dreading just being in the spotlight.

"uh, truth.. i guess." you looked at your athletic friend, his evil smirk forming. you leaned your elbows on your knees and left your face in your hands. "do you like a guy.." you looked at jacob, the question being tame for him at least. "that's right here, right now?" jacob smiled and leaned back, thinking he did something.

it seemed like everyone was telepathically sharing thoughts with the way they looked at each other. it's as if they already knew your answer, "yeah." hopefully they didn't until now. the game continued on, jacob's teasing getting even more annoying. "y/n, truthy-dare, or dare?" jacob snickered. "with emma, this can pass.. but why you?" kaitlyn sneered, even she was tired of his teasing.

jacob just looked at you, a fire lit in his eyes. "umm... truthy-dare." you weren't sure if you could handle the next word that came out of jacob's nasty mouth. "i truthy-dare you to kiss the person here you like the most!" jacob glanced over at ryan for a second.

ryan looked around, curious as to who you'd pick. everyone knew you were as brooding and mysterious as ryan but a bit more reserved. everyone knew you weren't as open to just kissing someone, letting your lips be put on someone you didn't wish to.

"are you fucking serious, jacob? god.. i can't stand you." you rose from your seat, immediately running off into the woods. the only thing you heard before you left was everyone scolding jacob.

"dude, why would you do that? you're fucked up...", "jacob, what the fuck man?" words like that were the only things that you'd heard from them before you left. you didn't run far, only to the point where it wasn't obvious you were there.

"stupid, stupid.." you mumbled to yourself, snapping sticks that were left beside you. it wasn't long before you heard heaving breaths and heavy footsteps next to you, "y/n, hey." ryan breathed. he had his hands on his knees, he must've been running a long way and at a quick pace.

"uh.. hey." you were close with ryan, sharing interests and common issues. you were seen together all the time and everyone said you were pretty much attached at the hip. you were close friends but jacob had always been your third wheeling friend. at least until he started his summer fling with emma.

ryan sat next to you, "i... know how it feels to have your.. space invaded like that." he nodded along with his words. affirming himself the way through like he went through the same thing. "it really sucks." ryan looked over at you and saw that you were already looking at him.

in the dim moonlight, it was like seeing a different ryan. "i don't wanna invade.. but, y'know... who do you like the most? if—you're comfortable with answering." ryan smiled at you, a nod to confirm that it's okay to open up.

hastily looking away, staring down at the leaves beneath your feet. "you." was the only thing that left your mouth, as if you couldn't utter another word. it was almost like you wanted to see his reaction but you felt frozen.

"hoooly shit." ryan sounded shocked, your heart felt arrows pierce every single angle of it. not that shocked since his voice is pretty monotone, but for as it is it sounded shocked. "i like you too.." you finally raise your head from the darkness.

"what?" you were in disbelief as you looked at ryan. you shared looks of consent, letting the other lean in. it was quiet, just noises of nature. you shared a soft kiss, you pulling away as you felt the end of your lips shoot up.

"so.. are we... y'know." you pointed to you and him, awkwardness settling in once again. "yeah, we are." ryan snorted, wrapping an arm around your shoulder and pulling you close. "finally i found you guys!" jacob nagged, seeing you two close together.

"it took me getting in trouble for you two to happen? god." jacob scoffed and ran back to the camp. "should we head back now?" you looked at ryan and questioned. "yeah, but we should listen to my podcast instead of playing truth or dare." ryan saw you agree, so he grabbed your hand and walked back to camp with you.
