Jennie stands in the doorway, wearing one of Ryan's big shirts and panties. She was informed that he had a girlfriend so she didn't bother with pants. Ryan sits next to him on the couch, trying to calm his crying friend down. "Talk to me, Dev."

"Kylie- I-" he takes a deep breath before closing his eyes. "We broke up." His eyes soften. "A-and it's my fault!" He sobs into his hands.

"Shh.." He whispers. "Do you want to stay here?" Devin nods, wrapping his arms around his waist. Jennie goes to get him some water and tissues, sitting down next to him on the couch.

"Thank you." He croaks, blotting his eyes. She offers a soft smile, frowning when he sobs into her shoulder. His body shakes. "Oh god!" He whimpers, sitting up. "Sorry." He sniffs.

"We have an extra room." Ryan says, his hand on his shoulder. Devin nods, looking up at him. "Aw buddy." He hugs him.

"I was gonna propose to her next Monday too." He whispers. "Bought a black diamond ring." He hiccups. "And I ruined everything!"

"What happened?" Jen finally asks, earning a look from Ryan.

"Apparently I said the wrong name when we we're, Y'know.. fucking or making love or whatever you wanna c-call it..." he says, his cheeks red.

"Dev.." Ryan says, "who's name?"

"I said her sisters name instead of hers. Riley instead of Kylie." He looks away.

"Why don't you go take a hot shower and go to bed. Get some rest." Devin nods, heading to the bathroom. Jennie stands and wraps her arms around Ryan, hugging him tightly. "What's this?"

"Good thing I have a brother that's ugly." Ryan chuckles, kissing the top of her head. "And that he's straight." He nods, holding her tightly. "I'm tired." She mumbles.

"Then go to bed, silly." Ryan says.

Jen looks up at him, biting her lip, taking his hand. "Come with me."

The next morning, Jennie says she's going out, biting her lip as she gets in her car. She parks at a local tattoo parlor, letting out a shaky breath. Today is the day.

She sits in the chair after being called back, her hands sweating heavily. A man, covered in tattoos, sits next to her, offering her a warm smile. "So what are we doing today?"

Jennie gives a nervous laugh, looking at her feet. "I was thinking something minimalistic." She says, fiddling with her thumbs. He nods, taking out a sketch pad. He turns to her a bit later.

"What about this?" He shows her the small sketch of Pennsylvania, giving her a half smile. She nods, smiling. "Where at?"

"Either my ribs or my inner arm."

"Do you have any other tattoos?" She nods. He gets everything ready for her. "Alrighty."

When the tattoo is done, Jen stands at the mirror, looking at the irritated area on her left side. She grins, turning back to the tattoo artist. "Thank you." She says. "I love it." She pays and decides to get Ryan a drink from Starbucks before heading home.

She sees Ryan on the front porch, his head in his hands as he smokes, earbuds presses firmly into his ears. Jen taps on his shoulder, startling him. His head snaps up as he looks at her with wide eyes. She hands him his drink and sits next to him. "Whatcha doing out here?" She asks.

"Dev wanted the house to himself, didn't tell me fuckin Kylie was in his room and I 'bout vomited so here I am."

"Wait." She says, her hand on his arm. "He and Kylie are back together?" Ryan nods, yawning softly. Jen sits next to him, smiling softly. "What's got you all sleepy?" She asks, her head on his shoulder.

"You shook me all night long, baby." He winks, causing her to playfully shove his shoulder. She smiles to herself, closing her eyes, Ryan's hand on her thigh, her hands wrapped around his bicep. "Whatcha wanna do today?" He asks, only moving to put out his cigarette.

"I wanna go bowling." She says randomly. "Wait no, I wanna stay home and watch movies." Ryan smiles, kissing her cheek as he wraps his arm around her.  She leans into his side, smiling slightly. "I love you." She whispers, her head on his shoulder.

Before he has the chance to say anything else, the screen door swings open and Kylie walks out, fixing her skirt. Devin smirks to himself as he follows behind, leaning her against her car as his lips press against her neck.

Jen looks up at Ryan who looks back at her, nodding back at the house. "You wanna...?" She says nothing, taking his hand into the house.

Jen gently pushes him back onto their bed, slowly crawling on top of him, straddling his waist. Her hands slip under his black slipknot t-shirt, kissing his lips softly. He moans quietly, his tattooed hands on her hips, slipping down to her ass.

"Hey Ryan? I'm-" Devin stops dead in his tracks as he looks up from his phone. "Oh shit-"  Jennie's face goes bright pink as her head whips to look at Dev, Ryan smirks as his hands stay put.  "I'm leaving so.." He rubs the back of his neck. "See ya later." Jennie bites her lip as she watches him close the door, slowly turning to face Ryan.

He just giggles softly, "don't look so embarrassed, it's not like we were fucking yet." That only makes her blush more. "Aw, you're so cute." He flips them over, pinning her wrists to the pillow above her head, kissing her neck slow and teasingly. She lets out a soft whine, her head lulling to the side. Ryan slides his hands up her sides, pushing the shirt up and off her body, kissing the soft flushed skin that lay underneath. Her toes curl slightly, her hands gripping his shoulders. "You okay, princess?" He asks, stroking her side softly.

"Hurry up, Ry.." She whispers, her chest already heaving. He just kisses down her torso to her thighs, spreading them as he sucks marks onto the skin. "Please.."

Ryan sits awake, reading an article on some dumb thing about marijuana, with Jennie asleep next to him, her arms curled up under her chin. His heart swells at the sight, a smile on his lips. "I love you." He whispers, brushing her hair from her face, smiling at the soft sound she makes. She scoots closer to him, sighing softly.

Jennie wakes up bright and early the next morning, wearing only Ryan's slipknot shirt and a pair of panties. She makes some breakfast, biting her lip as she sets it all on two plates and takes it to the bedroom.

She kisses Ryan's lips so softly to wake him, smiling at the deep sigh he makes, smiling bigger at the sleepy grin he gives. "Mornin handsome." She says, using the corner of the sheets to wipe away some crusty drool on his chin. "I made us some breakfast." Ryan gives another sleepy smile, pulling her hand for her to join him. She cuddles up against his chest, sighing softly before she giggles.

"What?" He asks, his beard brushing against her forehead.

"You're tickling me." She says, scooting down, so she's eye level with his chest. He puts his big hand on her hip, rubbing slow circles with his thumb on her skin. He moves her leg to be hitched up over his hip, his hand sliding back towards her ass. "Ry, the food's gonna get cold." She breathes out as he kisses at her neck.

"We have a microwave for a reason, babydoll." He smirks, kissing her hard. She wraps her legs around his thick waist, her hands holding onto his toned arms. "Again?" She nods quickly, kissing his neck.
