Flaws (Shyland)

Perfect

Shane's p.o.v.*

I never knew I needed him until the day I met him. That white smile and those bright blue eyes. I knew I was going to fall for him even if I didn't want to. I was a hopeless romantic, I had only recently came out as bisexual and I had dated a couple guys I had met on Tinder. I never had a really serious relationship. I knew I wanted that to change when I saw him, learning that he was gay was the second best day of my life. But knowing that he also had a crush on me was definitely the first. That first date was a start of something that would grow to the best relationship I had ever been in, even overpower the long lasting relationship I had with Lisa. I loved him with all my heart, and I still do.                                         "Babe, you okay?" I heard a familiar voice call as I hum a little bit, looking up into Ryland's face. "Yeah, sorry. I was just thinking." I say, still curled up onto his lap as the dark living room was periodically illuminated by the flickering of the television lights, some horror flick he had picked out. Ryland knew I was terrified of horror, and I loved that about him. Then again, I loved everything about him. "What are you thinking about?" He traced a finger along my side and I closed my eyes back in comfort. "Just us, how much I love you honestly." I chuckle softly, burying the side of my face into his chest. We ended up in this position after a jumpscare had practically almost made me scream. I scrambled into his lap, of course almost falling asleep in his arms. "Would you like to go get ready for bed? Its getting pretty late, plus I'm pretty sure your about to fall asleep." He joked, rubbing my side with his hand. "Yeah, sure." I responded with, shuffling out of his arms and stretching once I stood up, reaching over and grabbing the tv remote and turning the tv off. "Did you make sure to feed Uno?" He asked, a small yawn interrupting. "Yeah, he's in his cage. He's probably asleep, or planning some way to kill me. I swear he hates me." I joke, taking the lead and starting to head down the hallway into our bedroom. "Uno doesn't hate you, he's just pissed since you took all those photos of him shitting." Ryland smiled back at me, going to my side as we entered the bedroom. "True, but made a great calendar." I come back with, going over to my side of the bed and bundling up under the covers. "Totally." Ryland says, a small smile still on his face and he wraps his arms around me. I scoot a little closer to him, he kisses the side of my head and a smile is automatically brought to my face. "Love you." I say as I close my eyes, my hands brought to my face.                                                         "I love you too, Shane." I wake up to the smell of pancakes and bacon cooking from the kitchen, Ryland usually woke up first so he could make us both some breakfast before heading out to do some Clevver News. Sometimes I wondered why I deserve someone like him. Before even opening my eyes I feel Uno jump ontop of my chest, starting to bark. My eyes shoot open and I sit up, grabbing him and sitting him in my lap. "Good morning to you too." I chuckle. I look over to the doorway, a short knock sounding from it before I see Ryland stood there, two full plates of breakfast in hand. "I was hoping we could just have breakfast in bed, I don't have to leave until about another hour." He smiles, coming up beside me and handing me my plate. "Yeah, sure. I would love that." I smile brightly at him. I scoot over a little bit and he sits beside me crosslegged. "Good morning, baby." Ryland turns his head and kisses my cheek. "Good morning." I return, taking a bite of the eggs. "Oh look, Shane eating something other than Twinkie's and ranch, what a surprise!" I joke about myself, looking over at him. "You've been cutting down. I think you look perfect." He knew I had always struggled with my weight, and joking about it usually meant something wasn't right. My body dysmorphia had started to get out of control again. I hear Ryland's phone go off and he picks it up, quickly scanning over a text. "Good news, I've got the day off." He smiles brightly over at me. "Finally!" I say excitedly, you hadn't gotten a day off in ages it seemed like! Finally it would just be me and your for a day.
