When we can. [Cryaotic x Reader] [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 22.

You motion your hands and he rolls over making room for you to sit down. Placing the donuts down he asks "when did you wake up?" His voice was a little groggy so he cleared his throat before you got the chance to answer.
"Oh I think it was around 10/11 I'm not sure." opening the donut box you grab one and dig in, the sugary pastry filling your mouth.
"Huh, you don't sleep much do-" his eyes drift from the donut currently in his hands to your torso "Did I let you borrow that?"
"Uh" you stumble your words, shifting your feet beneath you. "Not really? I'll give it back later" you slyly recover from your awkwardness.
"You better! That's by best flannel" he jokes.
"Oh please, don't you have like 50 others?"
He pauses "Yeah but that's still my favourite" he replies with a mumble.
Don't worry ya big baby, I'll return your precious flannel" you laugh a bit finishing your donut and grabbing another.
Ry finishes his breakfast before you do, so he sits there on his phone waiting for the next plans. 'I don't know what we can do today, it's already Tuesday. So much time has passed already!' you think to yourself, Ry seems to notice the sour expression forming on your face.
"Oh" you say realizing his questioning gaze "I was just thinking about how much time has already passed" your words drift of a bit at the end.
"I mean it has only been 3 or so days, we still have a lot of the week left!" he replies giving you a hopeful smile. You love his bright outlook on things, it makes you want to hug him and fall into his embrace. But you shake that thought from your mind. 'Why do I keep shaking these images away? He did say he wanted to try dating me so why can't I be cute with him? And why do I still believe Chey is in the picture?' your mind begins to race but you keep a calm exterior so Ryan won't notice. All the questions running around in your head with no answers, and they're all screaming and demanding to be answered. Just between your temples the pounding of a headache begins.
"So" Ryan cluelessly looks up from his phone "What do you feel like doing today?"
You rub your temples as you begin to think of a plan. "Uhm, first do you have any ibuprofen? I'm getting a headache" you say, the throbbing is becoming really annoying now.
"Oh! Yeah hold on a sec" he climbs off of the bed clumsily, walking to the bathroom.
You lay down after placing the empty box of donuts away to the side of you. Ryan soon comes back with a curled fist and a glass half full of water. He places the 2 pills on your hand and gives you the water.
You take the pills and drink the rest of the water, thinking the headache started because of dehydration in the first place. You smile and say under your breath "You're so caring". He actually catches your mumble and replies "Not really". "You have your moments". He chuckles for a moment and silence falls.
After 10 or so minutes of pure thought, many things interrupting your main goal, you roll onto your face and announce "Cry I can't think of anything. Help."
"We could go see a movie? I bet there is a theater some where near by, I can look it up. Oh didn't you mention something about that game stop too? We could go for a walk around the main part of town." he pauses, second guessing himself "Of course only if you want to".
"That sounds like a lovely plan" you say lifting your head from the pillow to lock eyes with him and shoot him a warm smile.
"Your smile is returned by his, Ryan walks right next to the bed and lifts his hand out to you "Whenever you're ready (Y/N)"
"Ryan never bothered giving you a nick name, your name was too difficult to make a cute pet name/because everyone called you the stereotypical nick names.
You two eventually leave his house hand in hand and venture into his town. Driving into town you pass a few families, ladies with strollers and a couple with a toddler, and many regular looking houses. No one stands out to you particularly but they do all seem to be in a happy mood, which ends up rubbing off on you.
Ry eventually parks right out side of the game stop. Your eyes gleam at the video game haven ahead of you. Unstrapping your seat-belt you bounce out of the car, with Ryan slightly ahead of you.
You're welcomed into the store with a ding, 'good thing I took those pain meds before going out'. Your eyes wander and you eventually walk over to the xBox shelves. While you're browsing someone at the counter top the right of you says "Oh hey it's you". Confused you pull your eyes from the game you're eyeing to see a man who looks around your age. He has the classic black T-shirt, meaning he works at the store. Ry walks over to the counter and leans on it "Hey Alex".
"You haven't been in for awhile, I thought you actually got a life" he jokes while grabbing a handful of games to stock.
"Oh jeez, well you know me. I'm consistently playing games you might as well call it a job" Ry winks to you when both Alex and him pass you. Alex begins to scour the shelves and meticulously places the games in their right spot. He then places his hands on his hips and tilts his head at Ry "I don't thing you can get paid for being lazy" he laughs a bit.
Ryan feigns being hurt by placing his hand over his heart and saying "Ouch." then he turns to the self and looks at the games. "Do you guys got anything good for me, or the lady?". 'Lady.' you turn back to the self and put you hand under your chin while browsing and over hearing Alex's and Ry's conversation.
"Nah sorry man, if we did I can still hold it if it looks like something you'd be into" Alex replies leaving the shelf to go back behind the counter. Two teenagers go up to the counter and Alex is occupied with them trying to get a deal on the price he cannot change.
Ry walks up behind you and places a hand on your shoulder, he bends down so his head is the same height with yours and says "Find anything?". You shake your head "I think it would be better if we just found some multiplayer thing on Steam, I've either seen or played most of the ones that catch my eye". He nods while eyeing the store "I think it would be rude if we didn't buy anything, do you need something?". "Well my controller sticks are dying a bit but its not major" Ry bounds past you and picks up a (f/c) and black controller from the front counter.
"What about this one?" the controller was basic, but you like how he chose your favourite colour to hold up and show you. You while walking over to him, you grab the controller and say "This'll be a early Christmas present from me to me" and stand behind the teen's grabbing their bags.
"But I wanted to get it for you!" Ry says complaining and trying to grab it from you. You place the package behind your back and with the other hand you shush him and say "You can pay for the movie if you want, but I'ma get this for myself" he slumps a bit and gives up from wanting to buy it for you. Once you put the controller on the counter Ry wraps an arm around your waist and makes slight chit chat with Alex.
You two leave the store and you place the useless receipt in the bag. "Are there any other stores you want to go to?" Ryan asks. "Well its your town, what do you want to show me?" you reply as he takes one of your hands in his. "Are you hungry or something? We could stop buy a cafe or park?".  You laugh a bit "We just ate like an hour ago". Turning a corner you two reach some other stores, a new age store a Denny's and a thrift store stands out, Ry slows the pace and says "I could get you a drink though".
"Oo wait can we go in here first?" You say pointing to the thrift store. "The second hand store?" Ry looks a little wary and questioning. "Well yeah, I haven't been in one/you can find a real steal in some of these" you pull him into the store.
You two browse the store for an hour, its a rather big second hand shop. You were surprised as to what you found, and eventually settled on a black and white flannel top (so you can give Ryan's back) and a nice silver ring. You'd think Ry wouldn't find anything in the store since he wasn't really looking at the clothes, more watching you, but he found a pair of sunglasses and a beanie he liked.
When you two excited the store he grabbed your hand in his once more and you two circled back to the car.

I want to apologize, to you my readers.
two weeks ago was pretty shit no im not here to bullshit you or ask for pity, I just wanted to tell you that this update  took me 100x longer because of this. If you want to know what happened ill brief it for you.
1. my ex and his prissy girlfriend tried to start drama crap with me, so I had to settle that for a day.
2. the same day, my best friend and one of their friends broke up so I had to help out and back her up, of course.

And finally, this one happened saturday, my rat miso passed. im extremely distraught about this, he showed no signs of being sick or anything, he was around 14 months old which is even more disheartening. He didn't even live to become a senior rat.

This story has almost reached 1k reads now, im so happy and will get an update schedule by the next A/N i post.

thank you all for your support and understanding.

RIP my little soup, miso
