Are you saving me? (Brallon/Ryden)

Chapter 3- Bittersweet

Dallon's POV:

"Uh... Well my name is Dallon James Weekes. I'm 28. Uh.. I don't know what else to say," I say nervously.

"Well how was your childhood?" Brendon asks. 

"Haha, bad. I was bullied and I've always been pretty shy," I shake my head and look down at my twitching hands. "I've never really been confident," 

"Well I think you're an awesome guy," Brendon says and blushes hard. 

Brendon's POV:

     Shit, I'm blushing. I think this Dallon guy is really cute. His shyness is adorable. I have butterflies. I haven't had feelings for a guy since Ryan. But Ryan left me.. and took Jon with him. They're probably off somewhere in some other band. It's time I got over him. I shake my head to get memories out. Spencer stands up and breaks the silence. 

"Well I'm gonna go, I'm really tired and we have practice tomorrow,"

I look up at him. "Okay, buddy, sleep well. See you later,"

"You too," He replies and looks over to Dallon. "Nice to meet you, Dallon. See you tomorrow bud,"

"See you," Dallon replies and smiles.

Spencer grabs his jacket from the coat closet and leaves. Dallon looks over to me, "Are you tired? Do you want me to get a hotel so you can sleep?"

"Nah man, I'm not tired. And you can sleep here if you want," I say. I really want him to stay. I love being near him. 

"Oh, really? Tha.. thank you Brendon," He stumbles over words, sounding surprised that I would let him spend the night.

"No problem, Dall," Shit I called him Dall. I hope he doesn't think that's weird. "Do.. do you want to watch a movie or something?"

Dallon's POV:

     Awe, he called me Dall. I haven't been called that since high school. "Sure, a movie sounds nice,"

     He smiles and puts on Clockwork Orange. He stands up and turns the lights off, so all you could see was the TV. Brendon sat back down, but this time he sat right next to me. He leaded in and rested his elbows on his knees. All I could see was Brendon. He looks intent on the TV screen but I realize, I'm not paying attention to the movie at all. I'm too busy watching Brendon. I watch as his chest goes in and out as he breaths. And in this moment everything around me is fading away as I become aware that I am head over heels in love with a man I just met. What is wrong with me? Suddenly, Brendon sits back. He glances over at me, smiles and then looks back at the TV. 

     I look down at his hand. It's about 2 inches away from mine. I get an idea. It's the kind of idea that could let me be with him forever or ruin everything..
