Your one and only | A Rylan fanfic

Chapter Nine: Comfort.

3rd Person's POV:

"My boyfriend."

Mrs Lenivy looked surprised, she gazed to and fro from the pair.

"That's wonderful!"

She extended a hand out to Ryan, the boy took it and the two shook hands.

"Danielle Lenivy. Aka, your boyfriend's mother."

She winked, releasing Ryan's hand.

"Mom.."

Dylan complained, sending her a warning.

"Please don't make him feel uncomfortable."

"Alright alright."

Danielle gave in, her gaze fixed on Ryan.

"What's your name sweetie?"

Ryan shifted uncomfortably.

"Mom, I already told you."

Dylan sighed.

"Well I forgot."

Danielle rolled her eyes.

"Ryan Erzahler."

Ryan replied, smiling slightly.

"Oh! Erzahler?"

Dylan's mother asked.

"Yeah.."

Ryan replied.

"I used to work with your mother! Adeline Erzahler?"

Danielle explained, Ryan was taken aback by the statement, flinching slightly. He hated hearing about his parents, he just wanted to pretend they didn't exist.

"Mom.."

Dylan shifted closer to Ryan's side.

"What?"

Danielle tried to understand.

Dylan leaned forward to whisper in his mother's ear which only made things worse, Danielle's eyes widened with shock and guilt.

"I'm so sorry!"

Ryan, forced a smile.

"It's fine, don't worry."

Dylan squeezed Ryan's hand, smiling gently.

"Alright, so are you two just gonna stand out here in the cold looking all cute or are you coming in?"

Danielle smirked, trying to change the subject, waving a fake nail.

"Yeah yeah."

Dylan lead Ryan inside the house which was much flasher and bigger than Ryan's flat. He helped not to marvel at all the expensive items. Dylan's mother must have been wealthy.

"If you need the bathroom, it's up the stairs and to the left. My rooms at the end of the hall, in between are two guest rooms and at the beginning of the hall is my mother's room. My room is the smallest but oh well. You can stay in one of the- Scrö!!!!"

Dylan cut himself off with a gasp of delight, a black furred feline slunk around the corner of the lounge and Dylan rushed over to pick the cat up and cradled it in his arms.

Ryan smiled as he saw the boy nuzzle the cat and the cat returned the gesture, Dylan slipped his fingers under the felines chin, scratching it as the cat started purring.

"Sorry. I haven't seen him in the longest time."

Dylan apologized, blushing to himself as he released his cat from his arms and placing him onto the carpet below.
