BRANCE + RINNEY

Brance - Coming Home

"Stop and wait a sec
When you look at me like that, my darlin', what did you expect?
I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Or I did last time I checked"

or

part two of "taking a break" (requested by @qxzymal)
——

Vance had been gone for almost 3 months. Specifically, the boy had been gone for 2 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days. Today he gets released.

Today, he would get to see Bruce.

___

Bruce had been peacefully sleeping. Again, he had been. That was until Amy, his younger sister, threw his door open and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Wake up Bruce! Vance comes home today!"

___

Bruce stood in front of his bathroom mirror, a hand anxiously running through his hair. The last time Bruce had spoken to Vance was when he had said that they needed a break. Bruce had regretted saying those words ever since. He never called to take it back though.

Bruce froze in place.

He had never called to take it back.

What if Vance doesn't love him anymore because of it? What if Vance thought Bruce didn't want him anymore and decided to get over him? What if-

Bruce's thoughts got cut off by a loud knock on the front door.

"Bruce! It's for you!"
__

Bruce ran to the front door, almost falling several times in the process. He swung the door open, his breath instantly becoming trapped in his throat.

Vance was standing there, an enormous grin on his face. At least he did until Bruce started crying.

"Bruce? Hey what's wrong?"

Bruce only cried harder. He had missed Vance. He had missed him so much.

Vance's hands cupped the sides of Bruce's face.

"I'm here now. Don't cry."

Bruce looked into the other boy's eyes. He smiled softly.

"I'm so sorry Vance. I'm so sorry. I love you. I'm in love with you. I'm so-"

Bruce's eyes widened, releasing more tears while doing so. Vance was kissing him.

Bruce kissed the blonde back as hands wrapped tightly around his waist.

Both boys had missed this. They had missed being with each other. Expressing their love to each other.

When the two boys pulled away from their kiss, Vance leaned in once more to softly peck Bruce's nose. Bruce had laughed, swatting Vance away while blushing. Vance had laughed as well.

"Come on. Let's go ahead inside."

When Amy saw Vance, she didn't waste a second before jumping onto him. Vance caught her instantly, laughing as she hugged him like her life depended on it.

"Vance! I missed you!"
"And I missed you. You're still super short. Just as I remembered."

Amy pouted, a sarcastic frown on her face. Vance just smiled at her, setting her down softly and ruffling her hair. Amy scoffed before walking away to her room, fixing her hair before she closed the door behind her.

Bruce eyed Vance curiously.

"What?"
"You missed Amy."
"Yeah, 'course I did. I missed you way more though."

Bruce's face turned a light red before he jokingly pushed Vance, smiling softly at him when he acted shocked at the action.

"I missed you too."
"I know. You told me. You were crying about it too it sounded a little bit like this-"

Before Vance could mock Bruce, he had received a punch to his side. Now, Vance might have been gone for a little while but he still knew how to fight. Or, in Bruce's case, play fight.

"Oh you are so going down Yamada."

That statement started a series of play-fighting rounds between the two boys. Bruce had ended up losing as Vance promised. The blonde had presented his victory by standing on the sofa and waving a non-lit candle in the air. Bruce rolled his eyes but soon started to laugh at Vance's childish actions.

Yeah, Bruce had missed this.

Later that night, Vance was granted permission to sleepover at Bruce's house. The two were now laying in Bruce's bed, they were in their normal laying position. Bruce had his back to Vance, who was laying down facing the slightly shorter boy. Vance's arms were wrapped protectively around Bruce's waist.

"Vance?"
"Hm?"
"I love you."
"I love you too Bruce."
"Don't do anything stupid ever again."

Vance laughed softly.

"Okay. I won't do anything stupid ever again."

Bruce smiled at the response. He grabbed on to Vance's hands which laid softly on his stomach.

"Will you go out with me again?"
"I thought we established that already Yamada."

A soft kiss was given to the back of Bruce's head.

"Yes. I would love to go out with you again."
"Good. I would've forced you to anyways."

Vance scoffed, removing his arms from out Bruce and softly pushing him. Bruce laughed, turning himself towards Vance who had a smile on his face. Bruce leaned towards the other boy, pressing a soft kiss to the boy's lips when he was close enough. Vance's smile widened, as did Bruce's which had just made way on to his face.

The two boys had definitely missed each other.
