Mean! | Shyan

Ryan sits on his and Shane's bed, a book in hand and a stuffie on his lap. Humming quietly to himself, he turns the page and continues reading.

Shane walks in, a gentle smile on his face.

"Hey, sweetheart," he says, sitting on the bed in front of Ryan's feet.

"Mmm, hi, Shane," Ryan answers happily, dogearring the page he is on and puts his book down.

"All grown up right now?" Shane asks, surprised. "That's rare."

"But not uncommon." Ryan meets Shane's eyes with a playful look.

"Alright, before any funny business happens," Shane says, ignoring Ryan's faux innocence, "I have a few friends coming over tonight for dinner and maybe some games."

Ryan furrows his eyebrows, cuddling his stuffie closer. "Friends from work?"

Shane hums. Ryan groans, slumping onto the headboard.

"What's that all about?" Shane asks, a smile on his face.

"You having your friends over means I have to clean up my toys and stay grown up the entire time which you know is hard for me, especially when I'm stressed, which I will be stressed the whole night because your friends never wanna leave before two in the morning and by eleven I'm usually little which I'm gonna be really tired and then that means that tomorrow I'm gonna be whiny and you hate it when I'm whiny and grumpy and tired and you know I don't hate that you have friends, on the contrary, but it just means I have to be big the whole time otherwise they'll think I'm weird and-"

Shane cuts him off with a finger on his lips.

"You're rambling, princess," Shane murmurs, leaning closer. "You don't have to stay big if you don't want to."

Ryan whispers, "But they'll think I'm weird if I age down."

"It'll be okay, darling, they already know. In fact, I think Sara is bringing you a few more toys! And Darren might bring you a new blankie. He told me it's soft and fluffy and big."

Shane watches as Ryan's eyes light up like Christmas lights.

"Don't worry about them thinking you're weird..."

Ryan cocks his head to the side.

"...they already think you're strange, but in different ways!"

"Mean!!" Ryan yells, hitting Shane with his stuffie.
