Is that your ring tone? (ryden one shot)

Is that your ringtone?

Brendon and Ryan sit at the beach, a thin blanket protecting their skinny jeans from the damp sand. The ringing of Brendon's phone interrupts the quiet atmosphere. His ringtone is northern downpour.

"That's your ringtone?" Ryan asks.

Brendon blushes and answers the call and is tackled into a huge hug as soon as he hangs up.

Brendon and Ryan sit in a diner, an awkward tension around them; they haven't seen each other in 5 years.

The ringing of Brendon's phone makes the other man jump. His ringtone is northern downpour.

"That's your ringtone?" Ryan asks, eyes welling up.

This time, he doesn't hug him.

Brendon and Ryan stand at the alter, hands intertwined and drenched with nervous sweat.

The ringing of Brendon's phone interrupts the vicars speech. His ringtone is northern downpour.

"That's still your ringtone?" Ryan asks

Brendon nods and feels a pair of arms wrap around him while everybody cheers.

Brendon stands in a graveyard, cold and alone.

Its been 2 hours since the end of Ryan's service but he can't seem to tear himself away.

The ringing of Brendon's phone snaps him back to reality. His ringtone is northern downpour.

"Yes, that's my ringtone" Brendon whispers.

But Ryan isn't there to hug him
