"hey ry." brendon spoke when he saw his friend sitting on the ground, his back was leaning against the green bench that they always meet at. he wondered why he wasn't sitting on the bench, but he didn't question it yet. he sat himself down next to the boy he had a crush on for two weeks now. "hi." he said plainly, his brown eyes staring up at the stars.

"what're you thinking about?" brendon asks, laying his head back aswell, wanting to have ryan's point of view. they sat there in silence for a moment, ryan taking his time to collect his thoughts. after another minute or two ryan took a sharp breath before he let his mind run free. "do you ever wish we were stars?" ryan asked and brendon didn't answer, just moved himself closer to ryan subtly. "just to exist and not have to worry. i'd love that." ryan sighed dreamily, brendon now had his eyes planted on ryan. ryan was silent again wondering if he should keep talking. "i just-" he shouldn't, he decided. it wouldn't make sense if he did.

"you just, what?" brendon asked, completely engrossed in what ryan was spewing. ryan sat for a moment, what did he mean? what was he even saying anymore? ryan shrugged and closed his eyes, finally feeling brendon's eyes burning into his soft skin. "i... i don't know." he admitted still with closed eyes.

brendon moved even closer, he liked being close to him. "brendon?" ryan said so quietly as if, even though no one was around, it was meant just for his ears only. brendon nodded before replying, "yeah?" ryan hesitated before he laced his fingers with brendon's. this was new for the both of them, no one in this small town necessarily admired boys liking boys.

brendon blushed and held the older boy's small hand a little tighter. both pairs of eyes were looking at their intertwined hands. a small smile creeping on brendon's face. ryan flicked his eyes to brendons face, he could see the blush on his cheeks and smiled too. brendon looked at him too once he felt ryan squeezing his hand lightly. ryan quickly leaned in, kissing brendon for maybe 5 seconds before leaning back and resting his head on brendon's shoulder.
