little things - r.b x a.f

two 💛

andy's breathing shortened but tried to keep his cool and he gave his idol a small smile: "i-i'm a-andy"

"are you sure you're okay? you look like you've been crying" andy watched as rye observed his face and soon found himself turning red so he he looked to the floor.

"i-i'm fine" his face was still bright red but he felt a finger underneath his chin, gently lifting his face up. andy's downhearted eyes met rye's sympathetic ones, that he got lost in almost straight away.

"i can tell you're not okay, you can tell me, i'm not going to spread it around to anyone. i'm just a stranger and we'll probably never meet again"

"no, don't say that-" andy blurted out. he didn't think before he spoke. his cheeks went red yet again; he broke their eye contact and looked away.

"what do you mean?" rye asked, stepping back a bit.

"i, uh, it doesn't matter, i, um, i was just talking to my-myself..." he stumbled on: "sorry, i'll just go..." he stood up and began to walk away but a hand wrapped around his wrist and stopped him from walking any further.

"hey, it's fine. don't go, i kinda like your company, even though you blush way too much"

"i, um, i have to go back to work"

"oh, okay"

"bye rye"

"wait-" rye shouted but andy had already disappeared into the huge building. rye sighed before walking away and down to the studio he was originally meant to be going to. he knew who andy was, he was a model and rye found him absolutely beautiful. he was in love with andy and his looks but also his personality in interviews and his videos he posts on youtube. he loved andy so much but no one knew; even some of his songs would be about him, especially his favourite one he wrote called 'little things'. he wrote it when he found out that andy hated everything about himself but he doesn't know if andy's heard of it yet but he really hopes he has.

"where were you?" his manager, blair, asked him as he walked into the room ten minutes late.

"sorry, i was helping someone" he sighed before grabbing the sheet of paper full of lyrics and walked into the booth and immediately began singing after warming his voice up.

"can you re-record little things please?" blair asked. rye nodded before adjusting his headphones and singing the first verse.

'your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me, but bare this mind it was meant to be and i'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks and it all makes sense to me. i know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile, you've never loved your stomach or your thighs. the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine, but i'll love them endlessly'

he sung each word with love and passion as he let a tear fall when he sung the chrorus with even more love that before, he thought about andy and his tear stained face. the truth was that rye knew who andy was and knows how much he hates being a model and how badly treated he is. so when he saw him crying, he knew he had to help the poor boy. his eyes became glossy as tears threatened to fall but he held them back the best he could but his voice kept cracking. 

"rye?" blair cut him off by pausing the track: "are you alright?"

"yeah, i'm fine" he quickly wiped away his eyes dry before walking out of the booth.

"what's wrong?" blair asked as he put his arm around rye's shoulders.

"the song, just pains me so much" he tried his best not to cry but a tear fell; blair was quick to wipe it away before hugging him.

"i'm sorry, i shouldn't have told you to sing it again. can i ask what it's about? because i thought it was about loving someone" blair slightly chuckled.

"no, it's okay. um, well it is about loving someone but more than they could ever know. they hate themselves in every way possible but their job doesn't help them but i think they're absolutely beautiful." rye stopped talking when he realised he was rambling.

"so who's the lucky person?"

"um, you might know him, andrew tower"
