Falling in Love With a Criminal (Shane/Ryan)

Meeting

Ryan wakes up to hear the sound of a rapid knock on the door. He jolts up to go answer it, wondering why anyone would be so far out in the woods, and there's a very attractive man with what looks like a tree branch sticking out of his abdomen and several sandwich bags in his hand. He's breathing heavy and Ryan was so in shock by the very sight that the man had to eventually ask to come in. Ryan rushed him to the couch before going to grab the phone. He's about to call 911 when the strange, bleeding man grabs the arm clutching the phone and looks at him with the most pleading eyes Ryan had ever seen. He was about to make a decision for his own before sighing and putting the phone back on its wall mount. "Can I at least use what little medical skill I have to remove the tree branch sticking out of you?" The man thinks a second before nodding. Ryan rushes into the other room and comes back with wet towels, ace bandages, pliers, and a pipe wrapped in a hand cloth. The man doesn't think twice before opening his mouth so that Ryan can put the pipe in it.

There was a lot of blood. A lot of little parts of branch that were slowly digging into the man's skin with every squirming movement. The man was writing in agony and Ryan felt he didn't have enough hands as he remembered he left the sewing supplies on the counter. Ryan practically ran to fetch it, hearing the man's muffled cries all throughout the house. By the time he was done sewing and bandaging the injury the man was in tears. Ryan felt terrible for this poor guy sitting on the couch, just scratched and bleeding. After spitting out the pipe the man somehow had the strength to pull Ryan down on the couch next to him, and smile. Ryan could have stared at that smile for hours. The man was in so much pain but he still managed this awe-inspiring smile that Ryan could get lost in. He said "thank you," and Ryan was surprised he could speak. "Are you okay? Did I hurt you too bad?" The man shakes his head. "I'm okay," he says, rather casually. Ryan raised an eyebrow. "So, what's your name?" The man asks. Ryan raised his eyebrows. He could barely comprehend cognitive thought at the moment, and the man was asking him a question? He laughed internally at the thought. He might have passed out at any moment but did he? No, he was too lost in the goofy grin on the man's face.
All of a sudden he felt a flick to the back of his head. "Hey, I asked you a question, you alright?" Ryan rubbed his eyes in an attempt to straighten his thinking. "Sorry, what?" They stare at each other for a second before simultaneously breaking out into laughter. "I asked you what you name is."
"Ryan Bergara, you?"
"Shane Madej, nice to meet you."
