My neighbour. - a shyland love story

//7//

Hi I love you so much for reading this awful story. You are my motivation and I love you for it :))

A few days later-

Shane's thoughts:

I love Ryland so much but I am worried about him. He's joining our school tomorrow and he's terrified. I have reassured him that he can hang out with me and my friends and we won't leave him but he's still very scared.

I just hope he'll be okay.

Ryland's thoughts:

I'm joining Shane's school tomorrow morning and I don't want to. I wish I could just stay at home in his arms. I don't want to go.

Shane said we could have a sleep over tonight and we could get ready for school together tomorrow, and he keeps hugging me whenever he notices that I get upset.

I guess he does care about me.
I care about him too.

The next morning
—————

Shane looked over at the visibly upset boy, sitting on the end of his bed. "It's going to be okay. I promise"

"I hope so. Thank you."

Shane pressed a gentle kiss onto the boys forehead and went to his wardrobe to get clothes out for him and Ryland. Ryland had been spending so much time around Shane's house that he had started wearing his clothes too. He liked that they were a little too big for him and smelt like Shane.

Shane held the small boys hand all the way to school to help calm his nerves, but it only partly worked.

Ryland flung his arms around the older boy and started to sob lightly into his soft baby-blue jumper.

"You'll be okay. I promise you. Pinkie-promise?" He smiled, holding out his little finger.

Ryland giggled and shook the boys finger with his own.

The first person that Shane saw who he recognised was Garrett, his long term best friend and Harry Potter consultant, (even though he couldn't care less about the movies or book series, but he still let him ramble on about it because it always made him happy.)

"ShAnE!" Garrett screeched as the boy he just yelled for walked into the corridor.

"Hey Garrett. I'm guessing you're doing okay." They both let out a small laugh. "This is Ryland, he's my boyf—neighbor."

Shane quickly realised as he started to say the word "boyfriend" that Ryland wasn't in fact his boyfriend.

How he wished he could just call that boy his baby, his boyfriend, his one true love.

But what was he thinking? Ryland doesn't like shane back does he? He's just a boy who sings out of his window hopeless love songs with his ukulele, or he's just the boy who lives across the street from possibly the most attractive human being in the world to him.

"Oh mY GoSH yOu lOoK LiKE a BUnnY rAbbIt THAT'S ADORABLE." Garrett screamed at Ryland, obviously way too over excited.

Ryland's face went red due to embarrassment as everyone started looking around at the scene occurring.

"Thank you, I think." Ryland laughed slightly as Garrett picked him up and squeezed him. He could feel himself started to get light headed as the hug was so tight he could barely breathe.

"Okay sorry I have to get to class now but it was nice seeing you Shane and it was nice meeting you Ryland." The tall spooky boi waved goodbye and skipped down the hall.

The two boys laughed before heading off to their first class together.

(Rylands pov)

I need to leave this classroom. Right now.

It's too loud.

Everyone's talking and shouting.
Someone's tapping their pen.
The person sitting next to me is chewing gum loudly.
Shane's the other side of the classroom because the teacher has assigned seats for everyone.

I need to get out.

—————

Ryland got up and left the classroom, slamming the door behind him.

Shane immediately stood up to go check on him but the teacher told him to sit back down and went himself.

"What do you think you are doing?" The teacher yelled at the crying boy.

"Sorry, I needed to leave it was too loud I couldn't ta—"

"I DON'T CARE. YOU DO NOT LEAVE MY CLASSROOM."

Ryland followed the teacher back into, wiping the tears from his cheeks.

After school
——————

Ryland ran home as Shane tried to catch up with him.

"Ryland! Ryland!" Shane caught his breath.

Ryland slowly turned around. His eyes were red from crying. He ran up to Shane and leapt into his arms.

"I d-don't want t-to go back!" The small boy cried. "Please. I-i don't like it there."

"I'm so sorry Ry, I wish I didn't have to make you. The Summer holidays are very soon though, so we can spend lots and lots of time together."

"Sorry for ignoring you. I just didn't want you to see how weird I was for being upset over something as stupid as that."

"Ryland, that's not stupid. I would never think you're weird. You mean so much to me, I would never judge you for anything. Would you like to stay round my house tonight again tonight? We can make hot chocolate and watch movies and cuddle?"

The small boy nodded, gladly accepting the offer. He wouldn't want to spend another minute without Shane.

He didn't care how they spent time together, he would do anything with Shane if it meant that they could be together.

They walked home together hand in hand.

"You are my world." Shane smiled at the boy.

"You are my universe." Ryland smirked. Shane rolled his eyes before kissing his nose softly.

"You are adorable."
