Shane's POV

The Next Day

I felt the bed shift, as I opened to see Ryland staring at me. I smiled, grabbing him and pulling him closer to me. Ryland burrowed his head into the crook of my neck, breathing in slowly as I felt him smile against my neck.

"What are you smiling about?" I whispered softly, putting my hand on the back of his head to play with the ends of his hair.

"You smell like cookies." He giggled into my skin, and then sitting up from the bed.

"No, no. Stay in bed with me, babe." I whimpered, trying to pull him back down on the bed, but of course he resisted and laughed at me.

"Shane, we've got school in an hour." He chuckled, planting a kiss on my lips before standing up. "I need to shower, you better be ready when I get out."

I rolled my eyes as Ryland closed the bathroom door behind him. I groaned, getting out of a nice warm bed that I wanted to stay in so badly. I went to my closet and picked out a random outfit as I heard the shower start from the bathroom.

I threw on a dark blue navy shirt over my head, black skinny jeans ripped at the knees, and plain white sneakers. I styled my hair out to my liking along with then placing a casual black shoe laced bracelet on my wrist. 

"Get out, I need to change." I heard Ryland said as I turned around and smiled. 

"I've showered with you before, I've seen everything Ryland." I chuckled, sending Ryland to just come out of the bathroom. 

Ryland went into my closet, closing the door as I then heard the lock turn. I chuckled as I laid back down on the bed, waiting for Ryland to finish up. He came out shortly with dark blue jeans and his white converse on but with no shirt on whatsoever.

"Can I borrow a shirt from you? I left extra pants but no shirts." Ryland asked, smiling at me as he was leaned up against the door frame with his arms crossed.

"Or you can just go shirtless, either way you're still good looking." I teased, as I got up from the bed and made my way to the closet.

"Pretty sure that shirtless isn't in the dress code" He sassed, narrowing his eyes at me.

I laughed as I picked out a smaller shirt for him that was plain black. He then quickly styled his hair and smiled at me when he caught me staring at him. We then both went downstairs, Ryland grabbed a banana and I grabbed my backpack. Ryland had left his backpack at home so we would have to get his. 

We got into the car and drove quickly to Ryland's first, before then heading to school. When we arrived at school, I parked the car and took one look at Ryland. He smiled at me and I took my hand into his and kissed the top of it. Ryland and I both got out of the car, and I grabbed his hand almost instantly once he was next to me. 

Ryland and I walked in and everyone's eyes were on us. I gave Ryland's hand a squeeze to assure them that everything would be okay. We walked by some of my friends as they had shocked faces plastered all over them. We stopped at Ryland's locker and I had my arm wrapped around him. 

"No fucking way, you two are actually together." Drew said obviously shocked, and I just nodded in response. "Holy shit, Garrett owns me fifty bucks now."

I rolled my eyes at Drew and Garrett came running down the hall. Ryland closed his locker and just looked at Garrett who was now standing right in front of us. He smiled down at the sight of my arm around Ryland as Drew then urged him for the fifty dollars that Garrett had owned him now. 

I took my chances to step away with Ryland, and I walked him to his next class. Of course, the hallway was full of people that didn't know about Ryland and I so we got stared at. We tried to hurry to our class together, but that was impossible as we were stopped by a familiar face.

"Oh my god, is the iconic duo Shane and Ryland a thing now?" Elle asked smiling at the both of us. 

"I believe so, jealous?" I joked, making Elle laughed and shake her head.

"You wish, Shane." She said, rolling her eyes jokingly. "Anyways, I'm happy for the both of you and honestly you two look cute together"

Ryland and I thanked Elle and made our way to the classroom. I sat next to Ryland and everyone started to come in to the classroom. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him, and he sure as hell knew that. He smiled at me and kissed my cheek quickly, knowing everyone was probably looking at us. 

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." He whispered back.
