Your one and only | A Rylan fanfic

Chapter Four: Awaken.

3rd persons POV:

"Incase he never wakes up.."

Ryan froze as if the words had pierced him. What..? He felt like his heart was going to stop.

"B-But he will. Right?"

Ryan stuttered, fiddling with his fingers.

"Tell me he will wake up!"

Panic rose in his voice as memories of Dylan flooded into his mind. His warm eyes, his lanky frame, the way he swayed out of habit, the kiss, his soft lips, his silky, fuzzy hair..his adorable smile..

"Ryan!? Calm down!"

Kaitlyn's eyes widened and she placed her hands up on his shoulders. Ryan deeply inhaled and exhaled. Gazing into Kaitlyn's eyes.

"Dylan is going to be okay. He has to be. He's strong, he survived the night with a missing hand for fuck sakes! This will be like a stroll in the park for him! He will pull through."

Kaitlyn spoke reassuringly, removing her hands from Ryan's shoulders and smiling gently.

"Yeah..sorry.."

Ryan spoke, swallowing.

"Yeah yeah. Now, are you ready to see your sleeping beauty?"

Kaitlyn smirked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Dylan is not my sleeping beauty. But yes. I would like to see him."

Ryan said, as Kaitlyn turned, snickering.

"Keep telling yourself that."

She said as she continued walking with Ryan following.

"Here we are, Sir Prince Ryan. Your princess awaits you."

Kaitlyn stopped, gesturing towards the door with the print: Room 94. Above the frame. Ryan rolled his eyes and stepped toward the door, resting his sweaty palm on the handle. He drew in a deep breath before opening the door.

Ryan's gaze fell on the hospital bed that was before him, but most importantly, the person who lay on it.

"Dylan.."

Ryan's eyebrows knitted together as Kaitlyn entered, standing beside him.

"What are you waiting for? Try using 'true love' to wake your princess from her slumber."

Kaitlyn nudged Ryan and he grunted. Rolling his eyes.

"What am I supposed to do? Kiss him and then magically the spell will be broken and he will wake up?"

"Spot on, actually!"

Kaitlyn praised, eyeing Ryan mischievously as she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Yeah, no."

Ryan responded as Kaitlyn pretended to be hurt by his words.

"But, fair prince. Only your kiss can break the curse."

Kaitlyn protested.

"Hardy Har Har."

Ryan scoffed and pulled up a chair to sit beside Dylan.

"Hey. You didn't deny it!"

Kaitlyn snickered, doing the same.

"So. How does it feel? Seeing your precious Dyl again?"

She asked more sincerely as Ryan's gaze was fixated on Dylan's resting face.

"He looks so peaceful."

Ryan said, his gaze not moving from the boys still face.

"Yeah. Never thought I'd see him like this. But now- I can't really get used to it. It's scaring me, I need my annoying old Dyl back. Even though he never knew when to shut the fuck up."

Kaitlyn chuckled.

"Hm."

Ryan hummed in response, Kaitlyn could tell that he wasn't really paying attention to her words.

"Fuck he really is in love. Lovesick much. Gross."

Kaitlyn muttered a remark although she smirked.

"I'm going to leave you lovebirds alone now. I need to use the restroom."

She lied, standing up.

"We are not l- fine, bye."

Ryan ignored her remark, rolling his eyes as she snickered and rose from her seat to exit the room.

Once Kaitlyn was gone, Ryan sighed.

"I miss you Dyl."

He whispered, his eyes glued to the unconscious boys face.

He sat in silence the rest of the time they were alone, the only sound was the heart monitor that beeped every 2 seconds or so.

Kaitlyn soon returned, tapping Ryan on the shoulder.

"Come on Ry, We have to go now it's his mother's visiting time soon and the doctor's need to come in now to make sure everything's good with Dyl."

Ryan nodded slowly, standing and placing his chair back where he had gotten it from. He cast one last look at Dylan before following Kaitlyn outside.

"So. Are you going back home now or do you have somewhere to stay?"

Kaitlyn asked as they exited the hospital.

"Uhh, I've got a hotel booked for tonight, I don't really have the energy to drive home tonight and besides, Laura was way too keen to look after Sarah. I'll let them have some female bonding.."

Ryan stated as he reached for his car keys.

"Well, if you ever need anything, don't be afraid to hit me up."

Kaitlyn said sincerely.

"I'm sure I won't need to but thanks."

Ryan said through appreciation.

"Pfft-"

Kaitlyn was cut off by someone calling out to them, the pair turned around to see a doctor racing up to them, when they stopped, they tried to quickly explain what had happened. The two stared at the doctor in confusion.

"Mr Lenivy is awake!"

The doctor informed out of breath.
Ryan and Kaitlyn looked at eachother before they both rushed back into the hospital, eyes wide.

As they reached the elevators, they were engaged. Kaitlyn stopped and tapped her foot impatiently while Ryan ran up the flights of stairs.

As they both reached the 6th floor, Ryan was out of breath. The two ran down the corridor and flung open room 94's door.

"Dylan!!!"
