little things - r.b x a.f

ten 💛

after they had fallen asleep again, rye woke up enveloped in a warm embrace. he remembered everything that happened last night - andy came back. a smile found its way to his face as he watched the blonde boy in a deep slumber. it seemed creepy but he found andy adorable whilst he peacefully slept. he was over the moon that andy came back.

blue met brown as they both shared tired smiles; eyes crinkled, dimples showed, fluffy hair tangled together.

"morning, love" rye's soft voice whispered.

"morning" andy grinned. eyes met then timid lips met. they pulled away quickly as andy giggled and kissed rye's nose. small smiles were shared and foreheads rested against each other.

"jack wants me to meet up with him today; he said you can join us" andy told rye as he wrapped his arms around rye's neck and straddled his lap.

"are you sure? i was gonna meet with brook, you know him right?"

"i do, bring him along then he can meet jack"

"i'll ask him, go get ready" rye gently pushed andy off his lap and he watched the blonde boy walk into the bathroom, which was connected to his bedroom, and admired the view of andy just washing his face and brushing his teeth. he had remembered andy talking about this so called jack and thought that he seems like an nice person. he quickly sent a message to brooklyn telling him to meet them at a restaurant to get breakfast. brooklyn quickly responded, agreeing to the plan and was excited to meet jack.

"are you going to get ready or just stare at me?" andy asked as he walked out of the bathroom and out the bedroom. rye chuckled and got out of bed to get dressed. he walked downstairs and put his pink trainers on and his tan jacket where as andy stood at the door waiting for rye.

"we can get some food with them, yeah?" andy nodded at rye's suggestion as they climbed into andy's car and drove to where they would be meeting brooklyn and jack, considering they both live near each other. they listened to some music, rye annoying andy by changing the radio stations every time he didn't like a song that was playing; this resulted to andy turning the radio off and them driving in silence. rye sat and sulked until they were at the restaurant and they saw brooklyn and jack waiting but because they didn't know each other so they stood there awkwardly. andy laughed but rye was looking at the brown haired boy. they greeted the boys and introduced everyone before walking inside and sitting down at a table.

rye kept sneaking glances at jack as he sat opposite him. he recognized him from somewhere but rye couldn't quite think where. they all ordered what they wanted and everyone was getting to know each other like rye found out that jack was a youtuber and is on his way to a million subscribers; the same as brook and after they had finished their food, they made their way back to rye and andy's flat. rye still felt a little skeptical about jack; he swore he has seen him from somewhere. he looks over at jack and brook slowly becoming best friends already until jack looks up suddenly and rye recognizes that familiar glint in jack's eyes. he had realized who jack was. rye's face completely dropped.

those were the same eyes he saw when he walked through his flat door. the same eyes he saw when they both looked up and saw rye standing there. the same eyes he saw when she was apologizing and begging him to stay.

rye immediately stood up and walked to his room; he couldn't stand to be in the same room as the boy who had hurt him a lot.

rye loved lauren to pieces - the love of his life. or so he thought. he had a rough day in the studio because he couldn't hit the right notes and blair kept having a go at him. as he was walking back home, the rain poured harder and left him completely soaked. all he wanted was to change clothes and get dried, cuddle up with his girlfriend on the sofa with their shared labrador puppy, harvey, and just binge watch a bunch of random films on netflix. but when he walked through the doors, his heart stopped as he saw lauren under another man. the boy's eyes lifted his head and saw me. his eyes glistened with smugness as he laughed and carried on kissing lauren.

"rye, i- stop" she gasped, pushing the man off and quickly throwing her shirt back on: "i'm sorry, don't go"

"why? you knew what time i come home from studio and yet you still sit on the sofa of my own flat and fuck another man. am i not enough for you? did i do something wrong?" tears blocked rye's view but he could still see the smirk of the man as he got dressed. he patted rye's shoulder whilst laughing and walked out of the flat. rye clenched his fists but let it go.

"get. out. of. my. house. now" he growled and pointed to the door. she looked up at him pleading not to kick her out.

"get out!" he shouted. she scurried out after rapidly gathering her stuff. he slammed the door shut and turned around to see his puppy sat on the sofa looking at him. and that's when the tears fell.

there was a knock on his bedroom door. rye quickly wiped the tear away that had escaped.

"it's only me" he heard andy's voice call through the door.

"come in" rye said weakly as he sat up on his bed. andy walked in and saw how teary rye's eyes are. he had never seen rye cry so it felt weird for andy. andy quickly ran over to rye's bed and engulfed him in an embrace.

"what's wrong? what happened out there?" he asked. rye let out a sob but recovered and sat up properly and kept andy close to him. he explained everything to andy. he told him about how much he loved and adored lauren and how heartbroken he was when he walked through those doors that night. he explained how it took a while to get out of the house and move on.

"you know what andy. the first time i walked out of that house i was really scared i would see either both of them again so i went to the park because i knew that no one would be there and that's where i saw you swinging on the swing crying your eyes out. and as much as i would've liked to have met you when you were a bit more happier, to see the real andy, i'm just glad i met you either way. i'm glad that when i woke up that morning i decided to go out the house after isolating myself for a long time because i met you and i'm so fucking grateful."
