Brallon / Ryden one shots

3. Ryden

Ryan's POV

I pick up the phone, anxiety running through me. I really shouldn't be nervous. I'm just asking him to come over, it's not like I'm asking him to date me. Fuck, I wouldn't have the balls to do that.

Three rings and he answers
.
"Uhh, hey, Brendon, if you're like, not doing anything,, do you wanna like, come over?"

"Sure, it's been like a week since I've seen you."

"Yeah, I uh, thought we could catch up again before we go on tour."

"Of course. I'll be there in 15, is that fine?"

"Yeah sure.."

"Okay, bye ry!"

"Bye.."

I hang up the phone before I can make a complete fool out of myself.

Okay, I have 15 minutes to clean up. God my place is a pigsty. Stop talking to yourself Ryan and clean up. He's my best friend, what am I worrying about? Well maybe the fact that I have a little crush on him. Just a little one. I'm straight, otherwise. I don't know, I'm confused. The only thing that currently makes sense to me is how perfect Brendon's ass looks in those skinny jeans.

After tidying up the place for a few minutes, I hear a knock at my door. I take a quick look in the mirror, hating what I see, but going along with it anyway as I slowly open the door.

"Hey ry"

"Hi Brendon"

"Can I come in?"

"Oh uhh, sure.."

Great, I've already managed to make myself look like an idiot and I haven't even let him inside yet.

He walks in and kicks off his sneakers and looks around. "I see you've rearranged"

"Yeah I have.." I start to notice every little thing that I didn't clean up. Whether it was a small amount of lint on top of the television, or how there's an empty glass in the sink.

He doesn't seem to care, thankfully. He turns to me and smiles, God, his pink, plump lips that curl up into a perfect smile makes me want to just grab his face and kiss him.

He walks over towards my little table next to my couch and picks up a photo. Fuck, I forgot to put away that photo that I have of us. He hasn't actually seen it before, and the only reason I have it there is because he looks hot as hell.

"Ry, I don't remember taking this. When was this photo taken?" He looks at me with those innocent eyes that make me want to give him the world.

"I uh, think we took it at your birthday party last year.." My eyes trail down to my feet, feeling the blush take over my face.

He smiles and looks back at the photo. "This is a nice photo, ah, I remember it now!"

He walks over to me and then he sees the rose blush on my cheeks. I can tell he's slightly confused at why I'm blushing at this 'random', or so it would be to him, moment.

We're standing there face to face, and I feel the tension between us. Not hostile tension, just that type where you're not sure what's going to happen next. I finally get the courage to look back up at his eyes, and I see that he's staring straight at my lips.

"Ryan, can I tell you something?"

I feel the butterflies fly back into my stomach.

"Of course"

He backs away a bit and looks at the floor. Fuck, even nervous, he still looks cute. What can this boy not do?

"I uh- I'm actually gay..."

He looks back up at me, like he's waiting for a reply. Well Ryan of course he's looking for a reply you fucking idiot.

"Oh uh, that's cool. I'm fine with that"

"Are you sure? This won't like, change anything between us?" He seemed legitimately concerned for our friendship, and I feel sorry for him.

"Of course I am, why would this affect us?"

"I don't know, I guess I'm just worried.."

I sigh. I'm going to try to make this better, but knowing me I'll probably just fuck it up more.

"I uh, kinda think I am too. I'm not too sure yet..."

I can see his face light up with relief. "Have you ever been with a guy?"

"Oh um, no, I haven't... But I have found them attractive before." Why did I say that?

He slowly moves back closer to me. "Ryan?"

"Yeah, Bren?"

"Can I try something?"

"What..?"

"Just close your eyes"

I do as he says, not sure where this is going to end up.

After a few seconds of hearing and feeling nothing but Brendon's shaky breathing, I'm tempted to open my eyes, but, thankfully, I don't, because the next thing I know, I feel a warm pair of lips being pushed against mine.

I open my eyes quickly in shock, and he immediately pulls away. "Oh, uh, uh" And then something crazy happens. He blushes. Brendon, blushing, I've never seen that happen before. And may I just say, it's darn cute.

I smile a bit and I can tell he's concerned. He's sees my smile and returns a small one. "So, did you, like that?" He asks.

I nod my head, and I look back at him. He breathes out a sigh of relief and I do too. Fuck, I can't believe that just happened. The boy that I had been crushing on for years, the boy who I was nearly certain was straight, voluntarily kissed me. I felt like bursting into happy tears right there.

We stand there for a few more moments of comfortable silence, before he breaks it and slowly reaches his hand up to mine and takes it. "Wanna go play video games?"

"Of course!" I reply. Back to our old selves.
