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

Chapter 34.

Ryan crawls onto the blanket beside you after starting the game up. He tosses the controller into your lap and smiles at you. You smile back, for the millionth time questioning him.

Once you were in the middle of the map he adjusts his legs to get more comfortable, and at the same time moving closer to you. Giving in, you finally say "you know, I've noticed your attitude or something has changed. Or something" you repeat. Thinking you should have thought through your words he questions "my attitude?". Ryan's eyes leave the screen and turns his head towards yours.

You shrug your shoulders, keeping your eyes on the TV "I dunno, you're more touchey." He takes a minute and realizes it himself. A horde of zombies start flooding around your characters but Cry doesn't seem to notice. His character stood still next to yours. Before you could say his name he tackles you in a hug, causing you to be pushed on your back.

"Cry!" You shout, paying more attention to the game then what's happening on top of you. You quickly pause the game before both of your characters take too much damage.

Ryan's head stays face first in the blanket to the left of your head, mumbling through it he says "I can always act more distant if you'd like."

"No that's not what I meant, I was just pointing it out." You place an arm around his back, hugging him tightly and continue "I mean you seem happier, more shilling to like get close to me. You know what I'm trying to say?" While you were talking he ended the hug but kept his torso above yours, using his arms to support him. He attempts to shrug "I am in a good mood today I guess" and smiles cutely.

"I never meant it as a bad thing, it's cute. Im glad you're in a good mood" you smile back, happy that compliment came out smoothly and not awkward. His smile widens, then his arms fold and he hugs you once more. "Im tired" he whispers by your ear. "You already slept and had coffee though" you point out, patting his back.

Cry eventually sits up, kneeling beside you "I know but I'm still tired". You half sit up as well "you can sleep a little longer if you're that tired." He smiles "honestly it was an excuse to hug you" and then winks. You laugh at his remark while he gets up off of the bed.

"I think we should walk around a bit in town again" he suggests, placing his hands on his hips. You sit fully up, still smiling, and say "I think that'll be fun, you could get yourself another coffee too." He gives you a hand, helping you out of bed and leads you up stairs without letting go.

You grab your bag on the way out and slide your shoes on. He lets you into a car, and it doesn't look like the one he's normally been using. While buckling your seat belt you ask "who's car is this?" Ryan starts the engine and says "mine, but I never use it. Basically a spare. Also I'm assuming you wanna go to that cafe near the park?" You smile and nod "I can just run over and get dressed too."

During the short ride you comment on how clean the car is and Ryan laughs, repeating who he never uses it.

He parks directly outside of the cafe and as you're getting out of the car he asks "do you want anything? My treat." You lean against the car door and say "a smoothie or something. Maybe a muffin." He nods and you two separate, you heading towards the hotel and Ryan going in the small shop.

In the elevator ride up to your floor you rummage through your bag for the room key. Entering the room you start thinking about what you want to wear. A dress maybe? It's quite warm out and the sun is shinning. If you wore comfy clothes it could look weird next to Ryan, who is somewhat dressed up.

You do your normal shower routine and leave the bathroom in a towel with wet hair that was sloppily towel dried. You try on a few outfits until one seems to click.  A nice flowy black dress. It has 2-finger width straps and fits snugly against your chest, then drops outwards.  Over top of the dress you slipped on a dark red, almost wine coloured jacket. Which you left undone.

Adding your black boots to the mix, you head into the bathroom to finish drying your hair and put on a little mascara. The whole process took over 20minutes so you rushed out of the hotel, almost forgetting your bag.

When you got to the coffee shop you see Ryan sitting at one of the window seats, which causes you to stop running and fix your breathing. He waves then sticks his tongue out at you. Laughing you enter the shop and sit down next to him on a stool. He looks you up and down and slides a yellow smoothie and chocolate chip muffin in front of you. He smiles and looks away, avoiding your eyes. "Is something wrong?" You question his behaviour, mixing the smoothie and then taking a big sip. "Nah, you just look extremely pretty right now."

His compliment caught you off guard and you started choking on the smoothie. Ryan starts laughing hysterically next to you while you turn away coughing with a napkin to your mouth.  When you calm down you open your mouth to say something but he it's you off "nice weather isn't it?" He winks at you and then goes back to looking out the window.

The sun is shinning outside, only a few small clouded block the sky in some areas. Branches on the trees outside rustle when a small breeze passes by.

"How's the smoothie?" You turn around towards the voice. Evan approaches you both and leans against the table next to you.

"Oh hey! I didn't even see you working" you reply. You hear Ryan sigh, he rests his head on his arm and says "who's this?"  You turn to Ryan and tell him "he's the barista here." "You've only been here like twice, what's got you two so friendly?" Ryan obviously seems annoyed but before you could ask Evan steps back and says "I like to be welcoming to all my customers, it's no shock if I recognize them day-to-day."

You nudge Ryan's arm "don't be so mean." He shrugs and goes back to looking out the window, carelessly stiring the drink in front of him.

"So" Evan pauses, and you turn back to him "are you new around here? Im not sure I've seen you around before. Also I don't believe I know your name." A customer walks past him leaving the store and Evan waves a goodbye to them.

"Im just visiting this grump for the week" you motion towards Ryan behind you, he makes a 'tsk' sound and audibly rolls his eyes "my name is (Y/N)." Evan smiles and laughs a bit and Ryan, "well I hope you're having a good trip then." You nod and say "I am!"

Just then a person walks into the store. Your eyes are automatically glued to them. She has a cool, shaggy blue mohawk that was styled down. She was wearing a regular black t-shirt and blue jeans, ripped at the knees. Around their waist was a loud obnoxious black belt, with all kinds of metal hoops and rings that banged against each other as they walked. Over top of her t-shirt she had a leather vest and some patches.

The person sees the back of Evan and punches his back, lightly you hoped. He turns around to see who it is. Before he said anything the mystery person says "you owe me a coffee." She notices he was in the middle of a conversation with you and adds "oh sorry. Bring me the usual when you're done man." He laughs and says "alright alright."

She walks passed you and Ryan and sits against the walls, one stool separating Ryan from her. She turns herself towards you too and pulls out a pair of black sunglasses and puts them on. You snap out of staring at her and go back to looking at Evan. "Is she a friend?" He looks over you at the girl and smiles, then looks back to you "yeah we've got some history. Anyways, enjoy your drink." He pauses and leans down to you, but doesn't change the volume of his voice if anything he speaks louder "she gets cranky without her coffee." You laugh and turn to her and she throws up a middle finger that follows Evan until he's back behind the barista table.
