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

Chapter 28.

You two sit there for what seems to be forever. He was holding you tightly, but also softly. You two had switched positions so that he was now hugging you. His chin was resting on your head which was resting on his chest. After the moment passed you opened your eyes, realizing that the ducks had returned to the pond. You felt the need to throw them some food but didn't have any on you, so you just watched them float around. The light was reflecting off of their feathers so it made them look even prettier then normal.
You snap out of your thoughts once Cry shifts on the bench. "Are you getting antsy?" you ask lifting your head from his chest. "A little bit I guess" he says while rubbing the back of his neck. You reluctantly move away from his embrace saying "we could go do something if you want, I'm not keeping you here" you chuckle.
"We can, but you have to choose what we do" he pokes your nose. "Dude I don't know what to do!" you reply, he gives you a look telling you he won't suggest anything. You think for a moment, then your torso rumbles, stomach still empty. "Are you hungry?" he asks laughing. You playfully slap his shoulder chuckling "I haven't eaten today". "Why don't we go to the store and get some snack foods and watch a movie?" he suggests. You think about it, the strange feeling in your gut was long gone so you nod, agreeing to his proposition.
"Well" he stands up and stretches his back "let's go do that". "Alrighty" you agree and take his hand that he had placed in front of you. When you two were leaving the park he doesn't take his hand out of yours, but you get the feeling it's just a friendly offer.
"Okay so we can just go to my house and pick up the car and I can go in to get the food. Is that okay with you?" he says smiling down at you. You smile back saying "yeah sounds great".
You guys walk a couple of blocks in a comfortable silence. Thinking back to the fight you had, you sigh a bit. He never did answer your question, but that's just how he is you suppose. He never would but you understand how he feels and won't pressure him again. After all, losing him as a friend over something you call 'selfish' like that wouldn't be good for either of you.
"What kind of snacks do you want?" Ryan says out of no where. "Uh" you think, "well some chips, ooo I could go for some hot chocolate". "But it's warm out!" he asks questionably. You shrug it off "but we could like, make a pillow fort and blow fans on us to make it cold". He gives it some thought "I guess that could work" and chuckles.
     You smile, happy to be friends with him again.
     Once you two were at his house he jogs downstairs saying "gimme a minute" on his way down. "I'm taking an Arizona then!" you say walking into the kitchen and going in the fridge. Leaning against a counter next to the fridge you open the tab of the drink and take a sip. There are some dishes piled in the sink in front of you and a glass next to it.
     After observing the sink you walk out of the kitchen and check out the bookshelf next to the other staircase. It had some family pictures, framed and worn down. There was a nice photo of Ryan and his sister sitting on a log, beer in his hand which she was trying to get it from him. You smile at the cute photo.
     "Speaking of the devil" you say while turning around to see Ry emerging from behind the wall separating the stairs and the ground floor. "W-what?" he asks, clearly confused. "Oh nothing" you laugh lightly.
     He changed his outfit when he went downstairs, you noticed. He was wearing black sweatpants and a white t-shirt, matching your pants and tank top that was under your grey cami. "Did you plan this?" you giggle pointing at him and then yourself. He realizes and then starts laughing "I actually didn't!" "Mhm well let's get going, copy cat" you smirk moving past him and leaving the house.
     You two get into the car, and you place your almost full can in the cup holder above the stereo. "Can I have a sip?" he asks starting up the car. "Yeah go ahead" you say and motion with your hand. He takes a few sips before backing out of the drive way. You turn on the radio and (song above) comes on. It sounds like something you've might of heard before, but couldn't tell with how long of an intro it had. All and all, it was a peaceful drive.
     "So are you going to come in with me?" Ry asks pulling into a parking space after the long song had ended. "Sure, why not?" you say getting out of the car with him.
     Ryan hadn't taken you anywhere fancy, just a regular grocery store. You had no idea where anything was so you trailed behind him closely, oddly aware of how many people there where in the store. You never did grab your phone from the hotel so you pull on Ry's short sleeve and ask "whats the time?" He takes his phone out of his pocket and turns it on then off "4-ish why?" "Just curious" you reply, both passing the isle. Reading the signs as you pass them, you both turn into isle 8, the one with the snacks.
     "Grab anything, I'm paying" he says while patting your shoulder. He then walks down the isle to pick up a pack of hot chocolate mix. You grab your favorite popcorn and decide on chips. Ryan calls out to you saying "Hey I'll be right back, just forgot we're out of milk". You smile as a reply and he walks out of sight. You choose a flavor and grab it off the shelf. After a moment of second guessing yourself a girl comes down the isle.
     You stand there shocked, there was a girl with the brown and blonde hair you recognized from first sight. Cheyenne walked passed you and grabbed some Twizzlers, you hurriedly turned to face the other shelf completely dumb founded. You know there was no way she would know who you were but once she poked your shoulder, that illusion disappeared.
     "Excuse me, ya know where I can find the pet treats?" she asks so casually. You reluctantly turn to face her, cheeks flushed and avoiding eye contact. "I think isle 4" you dig out of your short term memory, voice quiet and harsh. "Thanks" she says questionably, then walks back the way she came.
     If it weren't for Ryan to come back right after you probably would have ran out of the store. "Whoa are you alright?!" he asks immediately worried. "I um, I'll tell you when we're home I just need to sit down" you say. He nods and you two walk to the check out.
