I like you // Ryllon texting au

five

okay I made up a band because I realized I couldn't do Brobecks or idkhow because then there would be two ryans so it's basically panic but it's wild and Dallon's the lead singer.

Ryan stares up in shock, speechless, and Dallon's heart flutters. He reaches his hand out.

"Here," he says. Ryan hesitantly takes it. Dallon pulls him up, other hand going to his waist once he's standing. "Are you alright?"

"Uh huh," Ryan manages quietly.

"I didn't see you during the show, I don't think?" Dallon says, because all he did was look for him while he sang. He even walked out into the crowd despite Brendon and Jon's cautious looks. He just wanted Ryan.

And now he's here.

"Yeah, um... I had a panic attack, and this girl helped me, but I ended up missing the show," Ryan explains nervously, picking up his bag and putting it around his shoulder. Dallon's expression drops as does his heart.

"Oh, no, are you alright? I'm sorry that happened, you bought a ticket for nothing," Dallon says sadly.

"I-It's alright, it's not your fault. Just... stupid me, you know?" Ryan tries to joke, but Dallon just wants to hug him.

"No, you're... I get it, don't... don't put yourself down like that," Dallon says. Ryan feels stuck, suddenly wanting to die. He swallows nervously and Dallon notices his shaking hands. He pulls out his phone. "I've gotta go back in before fans come out here and bombard you, so let's take a few photos, I'll send them to your friend so he can send it to you."

Ryan nods, not hearing what he said at first. Dallon smiles and opens the camera, pulling Ryan close, one hand holding the phone as the other holds Ryan by his hip. They take a few photos before Dallon turns his phone off, gives Ryan one more hug, then runs inside.

It takes a moment for Ryan to process it all, and when he does, he smiles like an idiot and makes his way back home.
