apologies & recondition

Andy woke up the next morning cuddled up to somebody. He didn't know who it was, but he welcomed the heat and sense of security that came with it. After about ten minutes, Andy finally moved around to see that he was with Sonny. Confused, he shimmied out of his best friend's arms and sat up on the bed. The first thing he reaches for is his phone which is plugged up on the bedside table.

He unlocks it and reads over the text message his mother sent about the plans for Christmas, but before he could respond, he heard Sonny shift in the bed. He looks over to his friend who is also checking his phone. "Good morning mate," Sonny's gruff morning voice sounds as he locks his phone and places it on the bed, "how are you feeling?"

"Okay," Andy mumbles before stretching his arms out, "why did you sleep with me?" He asked curious as to why Sonny didn't sleep in his own room. Sonny usually likes his own space.

The darker lad rolled his eyes, "Brooklyn slept in my bed last night."

"What? Why? Wasn't he supposed to sleep with Rye?"

Sonny scoffed, "yeah, that was before Brooklyn decided to take someone home last night."

Andy's eyes widen, "what?" But then his questioning eyes turned into anger, "he can't do that. How rude, he knew you were going to stay in that room. He shouldn't have brought some random girl home, that's inconsiderate." Andy stands up from the bed and a walks to the door.

"Where are you going?" Sonny asks sitting up from his spot on the bed.

"To go give Brook a piece of my mind."

Sonny stands up, "no wait Andy!" he looks around the room desperately for his t-shirt, "it's not what you think!"

But the little blonde was already out the door walking straight up to the door of what was supposed Sonny's room. Heated and ready to scold the selfish Essex boy, Andy just walks right in, but what he saw was not something he expected. Brooklyn was pressed up against the wall legs wrapped around some other bloke as he was fucking into him. Brooklyn's eyes shoot up towards the door before he groans out, "Ugh! You have to be fucking kidding me right now!"

Andy turns around and walks out the room before slamming the door shut. As he tries to collect his thoughts, Sonny walks out their room pulling his shirt over his head. "What the fuck did I just walk in on?" Andy asks still not believing his eyes.

That is how Rye, Sonny, and Andy end up sitting on a couch in front of Brooklyn and this mystery boy he has been with.

"Considering the fact that all three of you walked into us fucking at some point-," Brooklyn starts but he get cut off by Andy.

"Wait, Sonny you knew Brooklyn was gay? Is that why you took your chance with Sarah?" he then looks to Rye, "and is this what you mean when you said Sonny didn't have to worry about Brooklyn being jealous?"

"Okay, one, I am not gay, I am bi. Two," Brooklyn looks at Sonny, "You are the one Sarah has been sleeping with?"

Sonny blushes, "I wouldn't say sleeping with, we actually have been going on a few dates."

Brooklyn still has a little frown on his face, "oh, okay."

It goes quiet for a minute until Harper speaks up, "well, my name is Harper." He reaches his hand out and shakes the other three lad's hand. "It's nice to meet you guys properly," he jokes gesturing towards Brook who now has a blush spread across his face. He hides his face into the crook of Harper's neck and Andy cannot help but to feel a bit jealous.

He looks past Sonny to Rye who is talking to Harper right now. Although he was drunk as fuck last night, Andy remembers everything that happened. He remembers the constant flirting. He remembers the slow, intimate dancing. He remembers the kiss. The god damn, butterflies in your stomach kiss that Andy thought meant something to Rye.

He also remembers Rye pulling away and how rejected he felt after. Maybe Daniel is right. Rye is never going to like him the way he likes Rye. No one is going to like him the way Daniel liked him. Andy is now realizing how well Dan treated him and how he used Dan to get to Rye. Maybe it's finally time for Andy to call Dan back and apologize for what he did.

Andy is done feeling like he isn't good enough for someone. Dan makes him feel like he is good enough and that's enough for Andy to swallow his pride and admit that he was wrong. He stands up from the couch, excusing himself from the other guys as he searches Daniel's number.

Rye watches as Andy leaves the room and frowns. He hasn't talked to Andy since what happened last night and he doesn't know how much Andy remembers. Rye was into everything that was happening, but he knows how drunk, one night stands work and he doesn't want Andy to be like that. He actually has feelings for Andy and wants their time together to be special, not some cliché. He wants Andy to be different.

"You know he was pretty upset about what happened last night," Sonny says.

Rye looks over to the lad with a frown, "I just didn't want for him to feel like I took advantage of him."

"Yea, I know that, but does he?"

Rye stays quiet for a second. After replaying the moments from last night, what he did probably felt like rejection to Andy. Rye curses under his breath and Sonny shakes his head.

"I swear you two are getting in the way of each other's feelings," he sighs.

"He has feelings for me?"

"Just go and talk to him," Sonny laughs before nudging Rye off the couch, "you two are so annoying."

Rye bites his lip before making his way to Andy's room. How was he going to do this? Apologize then ask him out on a date? Or is asking him out too straight forward? Maybe just a study date, like they are comfortable with, and wait to do an actual date after finals. That sounds good.

As Rye approaches the door, he takes a deep breath. But before he could knock on the door, Andy's voice causes him to freeze. "Yes Daniel, I am so sorry, you were right. I do not have any feelings for anyone but you, I am sorry." Rye's heart feels like it's about to burst. As much as he wanted to throw Andy's phone out the window and tell him that Andy should be with him, Rye backs away from the door slowly knowing that he fucked up the one thing that could have possibly made him happy.
