Smooth Criminal // Ryden

Gift

I did it. It's over.

I'm a free man.

The trial lasted 3 days. yeah, they were hell but it was all worth it you could say.

Now I'm outside the court room and Brendon looks to me with the biggest smile.

"we did it!" he immediately tackled me in a hug, and of course I couldn't help but hug back.

the hug lasted longer than it probably should have, but we weren't complaining.

"so what now?" i ask once the hug finally breaks.

Brendon looked hesitant, but then took a look at his watch.

"it's pretty late, how 'bout i buy dinner?" he smiled at me charmingly.

"i would like that. I haven't had real food in 3 years." I smile following him outside the courthouse.

"well, I'd be happy to take you out."

I have no idea what his car looks like but i follow him hoping he'll take me to the right car.

He takes out his keys and presses a button so it does the little beep noise. He walks towards a small nice car, that i couldn't tell you the name of.

Brendon gets in the drivers seat while i take the passenger side. The car is really fancy. but maybe that's just because i haven't seen a real car in a while.

"oh hold on, I want to stop by my house real quick." he says starting up the vehicle.

I look over to him. I wasn't expecting to go to his house this quickly. Maybe i wanted to get him to take me home sooner or later, but not yet.

"what do we need at your place?" i was nervous, but i couldn't have him know that.

"I have something for you."

now i'm even more nervous. what could he have for me? he barely even knows me. it's probably a book on how to get your life together.

that's what i would have gotten me.

I don't ask about it. I'm curious, but i'd rather just wait to see what he has in store for me.

after awhile of driving, he pulled up to a house, which i assume is his, and parks his car in the empty driveway.

"alright, welcome to casa de Urie." he takes the keys out of the ignition and smiles at me, opening the door so he can get out. I mimic his actions.

He opens his front door, taking his blazer off, and walks in.

I softly follow him inside his small little house, only to hear the sound of soft clicking coming closer.

I can sense Brendon smile, even though i can't see it, as i see a little Jack Russel Terrier running up to him.

"hi Bogart!" Brendon bends down and picks him up kissing his neck region and the dog, Bogart I'm guessing his name is, licks Brendon's cheek.

"Ryan, this is my dog, Bogart." he smiles showing me the dog.

I smile at the creature and give it a little pet on the top of his head.

Brendon set the dog down and said to me, "okay I'll be right back." he flashed a smile and walked down a hall way. Bogart followed.
