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

Chapter 25.

A bug flies in front of you, and Ryan purposefully falls onto his back. His feet dangling on the log beside you. You turn so that he is in your vision. "You alright?". He sighs and covers his face with his arm, shielding the setting Suns light.
"Ry?" you question again. After he doesn't respond you stand up, and walk over to him then cross your legs. Lifting the brunette head onto your lap you brush the small stones out of his hair. "You should take sometime, sometime soon to visit. Maybe also take the time off work, it's stressing you out" you say in a gentle tone.
"I have been wanting to drop the let's plays y'know, like I've been planning." He replies in an equally hushed voice. "I want to be able to focus on something that will make me want to do it. The videos I'm making now are repetitive and take too much work, work that people don't even notice half of the time. I would much rather show the game off then do a walk through of it" he slide his are away from his face and is now looking up at you, while you look down at him.
"You should do what makes you happy and motivation Ry" you say and place your hands against his shoulders, when he nods slightly.
     As the conversation fades the sound of the rushing water begins to trickle back into your ears. You lean back, taking in the relaxation. The small buzzing coming from your pocket begins to annoy you and ruin the relaxing mood you were in. You momentarily shift Ryan's head on your lap so you can grab your phone. You slide it open and are greeted with a blocked number you don't recognize. You flash a confused look, about to question it to Ryan but he seems to have fallen asleep on your lap.
     Shrugging it off you answer the phone anyway "Hello? Who's this?" you speak softly, being careful not to wake Ryan up. "Hey have you left yet?" it was Cheyenne "I've tried called him, but his phone is always off or something. I'm guessing that's your doing".
     You carefully life his head from your lap while she is talking and place it on a soft section of stones. When she finishes you walk over to a log that is within eye site but not hearing of Ryan. "First off, no I have not left" you sit down on the log "like I've said multiple times, I came to visit him and intend to stay the entire time. His phone is probably off because we've been busy" you reply. "He always has his phone on! And always picks up to me" she says, clearly annoyed. You sigh "News flash hun" you emphasize the hun "people normally won't pick up to their clingy ex". You grab a small stone from below you and turn it in your hands.
     "We haven't broken up yet!" she's raising her voice now. "The way he see's it is yes, you have. He wouldn't be so distraught about it if it was really just a break. Also he wasn't the one who interrupted your stream or deleting all of his existence from your public social media or even writing up that shitty goodbye on Tumblr" your temper was climbing and you left her speechless. You take a minute to calm yourself and decide to take a different approach.
     "He is hurting, Cheyenne. And is stressed beyond belief over his work and all the scars you dug at. I'm not here to make you the bad guy, but I will defend my friend. I'm here to help him through it and make sure you give him the time he needs to mend himself up. Don't you care about his happiness Chey?".
     "Well-yeah of course I do!".
     "Well you of all people should know when to let someone go". You pause, letting that sink in. "Listen, I have know quiet a few people that have had relationships and had that dreaded thought of 'could I do better?' or 'are they really the one?'. And I think if you ever have or touch that thought, let alone act on it, you should end it. Too many people are unhappy in their relationships because of that reason. You need to-". Cheyenne cuts you off "But I regret acting upon it! I d-didn't think straight and said things wrong, my words got jumbled." she says, frustration fading.
     You sigh loudly "You must have had a good enough reason to act on it Chey. You both should be happy, but from my point of view you won't be with him. Just do what you have to this really isn't any of my business. For his sake, I would let him go."
     You turn to the now awake Ryan behind you, he looks confused and you just smile at him. After a pause she answers with "Do you love him?" with pauses between each word she says.
     You don't hesitate when saying "I do". The smile on your lips growing bigger.
     "I knew it, you were always going after him." Your face turns from happy to utterly confused, looking in front of you and not at Ry. "Excuse me?". A moment later Ryan is at your side, before he could speak you place your hand over his mouth then a finger to your lips hushing him. You talk back into the phone "listen did you even pay attention to anything I said?" you bother to put the call on speaker so Ry can hear as well, once he agreed to stay quiet.
     "No you listen here. I don't know who you think you are, but you need to back off. You can't just barge in and think you can fix what I broke! You can't have him, he is still mine. Sorry to break your imaginary fantasy but he would never fall for a priss like you anyway, he's got something that's called standards." Ry almost speaks up when she trys' to offend you, but you keep him quiet and stay calm, taking a breath before speaking.
     You give him a shrug, thinking of how to reply to that. Making sure to take no offense to it. "For once I though I actually came close to having a heart-to-heart with you, but I guess that can't happen since you don't have one-" Ryan slips on a rock, Chey speaks up "Is he with you right now?!. "Course not, I just moved. He is sleeping a little bit away from me right now, he doesn't need to know you called.
      "Oh so now you're not going to tell him I called?!" she snaps back offended. You face palm "you're the one who wanted to keep your plans secret from the start." Ryan looks so confused, you'll have a lot of explaining to do after this.
     "Well I changed my mind. Go wake him" she once again snaps back. "You've been changing your mind a whooole lot. Why don't you take a moment to think-". "Go wake him up.". You sigh and stand up.
     "You know I normally wouldn't" you walk slightly away from the log "be following commands from some brat-but this is the most bitching I've got to do in a really long time." You walk back to Ryan after she sighs heavily, clearly annoyed.
     You place a hand on Ry's shoulder mouthing the words 'I'm sorry'. Then saying aloud to his confused look "Hey Ry someone called you. Ya gotta wake up~" you pretend to wake him up. He catches on and groans like he is waking up. "I don't want to" he mumbles. "Should I tell them to call back later?" you say softly. "Please do, come back and lay down after you're done with the call" he replies, being more flirty to piss her off you suppose.
     "Okay well he's busy right now" you say into the phone, in a complete different tone then before. "You can try and later-" Chey interrupts "No I need to talk to him-" she pleads. "Sorry but you can try again sometime soon, he'll talk to you later, buh-bye" and you hang up.
     "Tell me whats going on right now" Ry replies in a monotone voice, staring at you.
