Study Hall Shenagains [Ryden ft Gerard]

Ryan, Brendon and Gerard were hanging out in study hall before lunch. Gerard was doodling distractedly in his notebook, Ryan was ACTUALLY doing homework, and Brendon was...Staring off into space.

Deciding he was eventually bored, Brendon switched from watching nothing to watching Ryan. He was scratching away at a piece of paper, tongue poking out between his teeth in concentration as he consulted his calculator.

Brendon contemplated bothering Ryan, but at the same time knew how Ryan usually didn't understand math, so when he was on a roll, he didn't want to be disturbed. Brendon could help him understand it, but no, Ryan was too goddamn independent for Brendon's help.

With a quiet sigh, Brendon turned from watching Ryan to watching Gerard with curiosity. He was sketching thick lines as he drew...something.

Brendon figured he could bother Gerard without Gerard getting mad at him.

"Hey, Gerard, what're you drawing?" Brendon asked, a little bit too loud for the study hall environment. A few people looked at him, and he shrunk back in his seat. Not his fault his voice was naturally loud....

His thoughts were interrupted by Gerard's response. "Oh, um, just some character designs for my comic. This is Party Poison's helmet."

Brendon leaned his chin on his elbows and nodded, fascinated. "That's cool!"

"Thanks," Gerard said, sheepishly.

Brendon continued to watch as Gerard went back to sketching.

After a little while, and a few near-attempts at falling asleep, Brendon decided that Ryan had had enough time to do his math homework. He wanted to talk to him now.

"Ryaaan," Brendon whispered, poking Ryan's arm.

Ryan ignored Brendon and crossed out a problem he solved.

"Ryaaaaan c'mon, you've been doing math homework for like half an hour! Study hall is half over!"

No response from Ryan.

Brendon huffed and turned to Gerard, determined to get a reaction from Ryan.

He tapped Gerard's sketchbook to get his attention, and Gerard quickly looked up.

Brendon scooted over closer to Gerard to whisper in his ear.

"Can you draw a bat? Ryan is ignoring me, and he's scared of bats, so if you show him one that'll get his attention."

Gerard choked on his laughter but nodded.

Brendon scooted back closer to Ryan.

A few minutes later and Gerard was done his sketch.

"Hey, Ryan, look," Gerard called across the table, holding his sketchbook up.

This time, Ryan looked up from his work to see the drawn bat. That elicited a startled squeak from him and he instantly clung to Brendon's arm and started shivering, slightly frightened.

"W-what the hell, Gee?" He asked.

Gerard pointed at Brendon.

Brendon ruffled Ryan's hair, grinning. "It's okay. I just wanted your attention."

"You're such a jerk." Ryan mumbled into Brendon's chest.

"If I give you your scarf back later, will you forgive me?"

Ryan shook his head 'no' but then abruptly looked up at Brendon. "Wait, you stole my scarf?!"

Brendon chuckled and put a finger to his lips.
