Camp Counsellors

RYAN

The only reason I came back to this summer camp was because of y/n. As cliché as it sounds, she wasn't like other girls I knew. Most girls cared about the latest fashions, makeup and gossip where as y/n dressed in ripped shorts and plaid shirts, wore only eyeliner and lipstick and didn't get involved in camp gossip. She was here last year and I discovered that we loved the same style of music; we sat up till the early hours of the morning listening to rock, metal and hardcore bands.

Because of camp rules we were unable to have any sort of relationship because it was considered inappropriate around the young children. But that didn't stop us from flirting with our eyes and mouths. However, y/n came from a rather strict family and once the summer ended she went back to England and we never stayed in touch. Until I figured she was coming back to camp for a second year, and I knew this time around I wasn't going to let her slip through my fingers.

In the year that passed I'd formed a band with my friends Chris, Ricky, Josh, Devin and Angelo called Motionless In White and I couldn't wait for y/n to hear our music. Her opinion mattered to me, I also felt like if she knew I was part of a band that would make her fall head over heels in love with me a little quicker.

"Ryan!"

I looked up from my guitar which I sat strumming on one of the many picnic tables scattered around the open site and smiled as y/n dropped her bags and guitar case and all but threw herself at me. I had time to put my guitar down before she jumped and wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"I missed you so much, Ryan. I was an idiot and didn't get your number last year. I was hoping you'd be a counsellor this year. This place needs a little fun."

I couldn't help but laugh at her energy, she never seemed to be without it and it drew people to her. y/n could make friends with anyone and I hoped she would be able to meet the rest of the guys via Skype.

"I missed you to y/n but looks like we've been busted."

y/n looked at me confused until I motioned behind her and she followed my gaze, her eyes landing on the senior counsellor shaking his head disapprovingly at us. She quickly climbed off me but not before doing the unexpected; she leant down and kissed my cheek before whispering against my lips.

"It looks like we'll have to be sneaky Ryan. Let's meet at our usual spot after dinner, we have a lot of catching up to do."

I was left in complete shock as I watched her skip back towards her discarded bags as if nothing had happened between us. I brushed my fingers across the cheek she just kissed and smiled like an idiot, y/n did like me.

Y/N

You don't know what possessed you to kiss Ryan, sure it was only on the cheek but did that mean you had feelings for him? You'd spent the whole year dreaming about him, he was the only counsellor at this camp who was normal and that's why you gravitated to him. He looked good, his hair was slightly longer than last time which would have put off most girls but you liked guys with long hair.

Until dinner, you were kept busy dealing with overdramatic girls who either didn't like the people they were sharing a cabin with or girls who already felt homesick and needed a reassuring shoulder to cry on. You did love kids and wanted a family one day but at the end of the summer, you always left relieved that you wouldn't have to deal with bratty kids anymore. Some girls could be bitchy and those were the kind of girls you hated.

Dinner was unappealing, a burger swimming in grease with a fake cheese triangle on top and no salad, soggy French fries and then for dessert a small piece of chocolate cake with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. You kept to water, it was either that or milk which you only drank at breakfast. 

After lights out you wait a good half hour before slipping out of your bed and got ready to meet Ryan. You throw on a HIM hoodie that you may have 'borrowed' off Ryan last year and slipped into your black Vans. 

You and Ryan had found an abandoned shed on the other side of the lake where no one went so you claimed it as your own. As you get closer you notice a light already on and assume Ryan was already inside and you assumed right as you walked in and saw him sitting there on his phone. he looks up at you and slides his phone into his pocket.

"So you finally join me y/n. Wait is that my hoodie?"

Unfamiliar music plays in the background as Ryan's eyes you up and down. you blush and hug his hoodie closer to your body; you hardly wore it so it smelt like him.

"I borrowed it last year I hope you don't mind. Who's the band, they're pretty good."

Ryan smiles and pats the pile of blankets he's spread across the wooden floor.

"It looks better on you anyway y/n and the music is, in fact, a new band called Motionless In White."

You sit down next to him due to the cramped space and find yourself sitting with his arms around your waist and your back to his chest. You didn't mind because it seemed your bodies fitted well together. You'd never heard of the band before, they must be new.

"Do they have an album Ryan? I really like the sound, but mainly the guitar and bass stand out for me."

"Motionless In White is the band I formed with my friends over the last year. I play lead guitar and no we don't have an album yet, we aren't even signed."

You sit up and stare at your friend in disbelief, this was his band? As you listen closely you vaguely recognise some of the chords you'd heard Ryan messing with towards the end of summer last year.

"I predict big things for you and the band Ryan. Plus I get to say I know one of the members."

"You're too kind y/n. I told the rest of the guys about you and Chris who's our singer said that the guitar players never get the girl."

You roll your eyes, this Chris guy had an amazing voice and some serious talent but you only had eyes for one member.

"Well I happen to find guitar players very sexy Ryan, I mean they know what to do with their fingers."

You see Ryan blush, had you misread the sign earlier? Maybe he didn't like you at all that way. There was only one way to find out and that was to take a leap of faith. You grab his face and smash your lips against his, yes it wasn't graceful but you weren't a graceful kind of girl. He jolts beneath you and you fear the worse when he pulls back slightly until he smirks.

"You're the reason I came back this year y/n. I never got a chance to tell you last year that I liked you and now you've just confirmed that you like me. So I'm going to kiss you now."

Ryan cups your chin and smashes his lips against yours and you part your lips giving him easy entry. You wrap your arms around his shoulders and pull him closer deepening the kiss. After a couple of minutes both of you pull back from your make-out session a little out of breath, Ryan pulls you back into his arms so that your head is resting on his chest.

He continues to lazily play with your hair as you trace patterns on his free hand, the music continues playing in the background as you both lie there grinning like madmen. Ryan clears his throat.

"Will you be my girlfriend y/n?"

You glance up at him and nod.

"I will but only if you'll be my boyfriend Ryan?"

"I think I can do that."

The two of you spend the rest of the night listening to music, chatting and occasionally making out. The summer had only just begun and already it felt like it was going to be the best one yet.
