Senseless

15.

"George Ryan Ross," his mother was waiting at the kitchen table, setting down a magazine she'd been reading before he had entered. He had walked in and managed to get to the hallway before being caught, now he would have to explain himself. That didn't sound fun. He also hated it when she used his full name, which was why he went by his middle name.

"Hey mom," he hesitantly went to the kitchen and took a seat across from her at the table.

"Where were you last night?"

"Spencer's, didn't I tell you he had a-" he stopped before he said party.

"A what?"

"A get together at his house, with some kids from school. I was too tired to come home after and so I stayed the night."

"Did you drink?" She asked, he shook his head after a moment too long of thinking it through, "Ryan, I won't be mad as long as you tell me the truth, I just want you to be safe."

"Okay.. I had a couple.."

"A couple what?" She interrogated.

"Just some beers, but it was fiiine, like I said; I stayed at Br- Spencer's house," he caught himself before almost exposing he and Brendon's entire secret relationship.

"Okay, but you're grounded, here and school, nowhere else this week." His mom said before sending him straight to his room. He sat down on his bed and pulled his phone out of his pocket to tell Brendon and Spencer the bad news.

Ryan: UGh I'm grounded

Spencer: dude that sucks :/

Ryan: I know riiight

Spencer: so you can't come over and help me do my 'homework'?

Ryan: you mean mess around and play Mario Kart?

Spencer: stfu

Ryan: gtg tell B

Spencer: k, have fun

Ryan: sTfU

Spencer: :P

Ryan then proceeded to text Brendon, knowing Spencer wouldn't pass the message on successfully.

Ryan: hey babe, I'm grounded this week, can't hang out after school :(

Brendon: aw that sucks, what'd you do?

Ryan: my mom found out about the party, and me getting drunk. I suck at lying

Brendon: poor you, *eye roll* shouldn't have been drinking

Ryan: shut up

Brendon: make me

"Ryan! Bring me your phone too, when your grounded you don't get to text ether!" His mom called from the kitchen. It was almost as though she had read his mind.

"Ugghhhhhhhh fine, I'll be there in a minute," Ryan whined. He quickly deleted the chat with Brendon after sending him a quick 'gtg' to be sure his mom didn't catch them. She'd already found out enough in one morning. He reluctantly handed over his cell phone and proceeded to hide out in his room and play his guitar quietly until dinner time came around. He then ate and returned to his room, since he wasn't allowed to do anything 'fun' at home that wasn't already in his room. Being grounded sucked.

"Dude you were so wasted, I can see why she grounded you," Spencer laughed from the opposite side of the table.

"Ha-ha" Ryan started, sarcastically, "she didn't even catch me when I was drunk, or even hung over so.. doesn't matter."

"How'd she catch you? What? Where did you go after you left the party?" Spencer questioned him.

"Brendon's, he let me stay the night and in the morning we went and got cof-"

"HE LET YOU STAY THE NIGHT??" Spencer screamed, causing a few curious heads to turn their direction.

"Uh.. yeah," Ryan shrugged, continuing, "and in the morning we went to get coffee."

"Oh my god duuuuuuude!" Spencer squealed, "did you guys sleep together!?" He asked, a bit too overexcited.

"Well.. not in the way you're implying.."

"But you slept in the same bed??"

"Yeah, I guess," Ryan didn't think much of it, but Spencer was totally freaking out.

"Dude, you know what comes after cuddles.." Spencer smirked, his voice lowering as he spoke, "you guys do the nasty."

"Oh my god shut the fuck up," Ryan covered his face.

"We are not going to have sex."

"I never said anything about sex," Spencer grinned innocently.

"But since you bring up the subject-"

"Spencer shut up!" Ryan yelled, covering his friend's mouth. Spencer licked his palm, causing Ryan to pull his hand back in disgust.

"Okay but seriously, have you even thought of that? You're a virgin still, right? So what would you do if he did want to have sex?" Spencer asked, Ryan was becoming extremely uncomfortable.

"I- I dunno, just tell him if I didn't want to?" Ryan shrugged.

"What if you do want to?"

"Why the hell would you care?" Ryan asked defensively, desperate for a change of topic.

"Because I'm your best friend and I don't want to have to take you in to get checked for aids."

"Well, how do you know I would want to have sex anyways?" Ryan muttered.

"You're a 17 year old kid, and I know from personal experience that means you're likely horny as fuck."

"What if I'm like- asexual, or whatever?" Ryan asked theoretically.

"Well.. then I guess that's different- are you?" Spencer raised an eyebrow.

"I don't think so, I mean I like the thought of sex but I don't know- why are we even having this conversation anyway?" Ryan laughed nervously, still wanting to drop the subject.

"I don't know, you brought it up."

"No you did," Ryan shot back.

"Nope, I clearly remember you bringing up the word sex."

"Liar."

"Takes one to know one."

"Shut up," Ryan rolled his eyes.

The bell then rang, and Ryan was left to question whether he would be comfortable doing it with Brendon- or with anyone for that matter. Brendon was older and more experienced, so.. would he even like it with Ryan? Would Ryan know what to do? Would he ruin everything about their relationship if he wasn't good enough? He had absolutely no idea, and even the thought of it scared him. He didn't want to lose Brendon, but how far would he go to keep him?
