Mad was an understatement as to how you felt. Sitting on the uncomfortable stones beneath you, feeling the chilled air and listening to the creepy sounds in the trees in front of you. This is not how you wanted to spend your night. 'Maybe watching a movie, inside with a nice blanket. And cuddles-' you shake your head. You were confusing your self again. 'You can't want to cuddle and spend a nice night with the man who plays with your heart' you pause at the sudden realization.
[HONK]
Ryan honks the car, he could have rolled down the window or at least came out to talk to you but you guess not. You don't bother to look at him, and climb into the back seat. The ride is dreadfully quiet, neither one of you says anything. This silence is almost as worse as the time you told him you still loved him.
There was no radio, the only sound you could hear is his soft breathing and the hum of the engine. It made you almost want to start crying again. 'He took her back right? Just after saying he wanted to try and be with me yeah? Typical'. You grab the blanket from beside you, it smelled like outside with a few pieces of grass stuck to the seams. It didn't matter, you needed the comfort. The cold was seeping into the car, even if it didn't come from outside.
The car comes to a stop outside his house, you go to escape the car but the door locks immediately. Ry speaks before you could try again.
"Do you want to hear what she said?"
"Cliff notes" you mumble, wanting to know but not the detail, slinking away from the door childishly.
" All she said was she's coming to get her things next month. That's all" he turned towards you, resting his arm on the should of his seat.
You also turned and looked him in the eyes, his expression was unreadable. "Then what was all that stuff she wanted for me to tell you?".
"She was trying to get you out of the car"
"That's a fucked up way of getting me to leave!" you say frustrated.
"Can we go inside please?"
"Sure" you say. Not bothering to fight anymore.
     You both leave the car, after you throw the blanket aside. He goes downstairs and you turn to the kitchen. Looking for tea/coffee you grab a bag/packet of ground coffee and heat up a cup of water. 'She's coming at the end of the month? I thought it was this week?! I guess she couldn't? Huh' you think to yourself as the microwave counts down. Shaking your head you add another thought 'I'm being childish, I shouldn't act this way in front of him'. Once the obnoxious beeping stops you make your drink the way you like and make your way back downstairs, with a little more pep in your step.
     Once you enter the room you find Ry sitting on his bed looking at you.
     "Come 'ere" he pats next to him. You obliged his offer. "Listen" he wraps an arm over you while pulling a blanket over the two of you. "I'm sorry she upset you, that was really uncalled for"
     You sigh rationalizing what happened "No, I'm overreacting. It was worse for you yeah?" you say looking at him. 'I mean she did feign an apology through me on the phone. But I don't think that was all fake'.
"I-" he paused, his body tensing for a second "Yeah. She has always been like that I suppose".
"She's awful" you say, he just keeps silent. You drink some of your tea/coffee in the silence.
"So what do you want to do?".
"We could sleep? It's pretty late"
"But are you tired?" he says looking at you.
     "We could" you say breaking off. Once you had an idea you say it aloud "Get lots of blankets and pillows and stuff and watch movies until we pass out?".
     "Hmm" he says, classically placing a thumb and pointer finger on his chin. Just before looking at you he adds "That seems doable m'lady". You chuckle and smile at his gleaming grin.
     "Yes ma'am".
     Ryan ends up laughing and exiting his room, leaving you on the bed with his comforter draped over your shoulders and a 3/4 empty glass of tea/coffee. You subconsciously swing your feet on the edge of the bed, until you hear something fall over. You rush over to the room directly across from Ry's bedroom door and enter their storage room.
     "You alright?" you ask while getting a better grip on the slipping blanket around you.
     "Oh yeah sure!" Ryan replies. He seems to have knocked over a box while reaching for some big blankets. You place the box aside and realize you're too short to grab them properly. So you tug at a corner and the three heavy blankets topple onto you.
      You can slightly hear Ryan's laughing but it's blocked out with the dense material over top of you "Hey! Help me out here?!" you laugh. He helps you up by taking the blankets in one swoop of his arms, you follow along making sure to turn off the light and close the door behind you.
     "Dibs" you say picking up a huge comforter, one that was grey and soft. It was very fluffy in general.
     "Bu-"
     Before he could protest you snuggle into the blanket, with only your head showing. You give him a cute look, your eyes reading 'Mine'
     "Okay but only cause you look adorable" he points at you and giggles a bit. Your cheeks turn a slight pink as you look away. Ryan ends up grabbing a thinner white blanket and drapes the other purple one over your guys lap.
     "Any suggestions?" he was already surfing Netflix.
     "Hmm at time of night and with this atmosphere, horror?".
The movie you two chose did not end up mattering anyway. You two had fallen asleep together, in a mess of fluffy blankets and pillows long before the movie got good.
