Promised?... {Randlyn}

six {His Explanation}

When Andy woke up, the next day, his eyes were all puffy, red and swollen. Shakily he stood up and got ready for school. After brushing his teeth, he splashred cold water into his face, trying to get his itchy eyes to work again. Then he went into the living room and ate some breakfast.

Arriving at school, he saw Rye standing with their friends. He approached them slowly, hoping for Rye to stay. As soon as the brunet saw him, though, he was quick to turn around and walk away.

"Rye wait, please", Andy yelled and ran after him. "Please just let me explain." The small boy grabbed Rye's wrist and turned him, so they were face to face. "Please..!"
"Fine...", Rye sighed, "you get five minutes. After school, I'll be waiting at our place" That's all Rye said, before freeing his wrist and walking to class.

...
After school Andy ran to their secret spot as fast as he could. When he got there, Rye was already waiting for him. When the brunet saw him, he looked past the blue eyed, not wanting to look at him.
"Hi", Andy breathed out once they stood in front of each other. He was so nervous.
"Hey..", Rye let out, still not looking at him. "Your five minutes are running."

"Oh yeah, course", he said, but didn't know how to start. "Um.. okay so first I want you to know that I love you and that, for god's love, I didn't cheat. If that's what you're thinking."
"Why'd you say his name then?", Rye asked, tears rimming his eyelids.

"I don't know. I guess, and please don't get this wrong now, I kinda like him?", the blond said it more like a question. "But, you're the one I love, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Just, since we first met him I found him attractive, I guess. And I felt like something was missing. I was just a chicken and didn't talk to you about it. I'm so sorry."

Something in Rye's chest tingled at that, but he chose to ignore it. "But.. what about us now?", he asked instead.
"Um.. I don't know. The only thing I know is that I love you, and that I want you back.", Andy said and looked up to finally meet the brown eyes - he loved so much - with his hopeful blue ones.

Rye looked hesitant. He didn't want to get hurt again. Slowly he stepped closer to the smaller one. He brought his hand up to Andy's face. His soft, warm palm meeting his cheek. The blond didn't dare to move, too scared of scaring the brunet away.
"Andy...", he mumbled. Then he leaned forward and placed his mouth on Andy's. It was only a little kiss. A small touch of lips, reassuring both of them that the other was there.
As soon as the feeling of Rye's lips left, Andy looked up at him. He was not quite comprehending. Did Rye forgive him?

"Hey", the soft words escaped the taller. "I love you too, okay. We can make it work baby. We'll try again."
The blond nodded, tears rolling down his cheeks. Staring at one another, it was like time slowed down. Until, the bodys of the teenagers crashed together, tightly embracing the other.
"I've missed you.", Andy whispered into Rye's shoulder, where he rested his head. Pulling away from the hug a little bit later, Andy asked the brunet shyly whether they were okay now. Rye just nodded pulling him into another kiss.

Walking home hand in hand, they chatted about everything and nothing. First it was only light talking, getting used to the others company again. Then it turned to serious topics, the blond apologized for the thousendth time, feeling really bad. Therefore Rye pulled him into a side hug. "It's okay baby, I forgave you. So you should too."

When they arrived at Andy's house, the smaller wrapped his arms around his boyfriend, not wanting to let go. Rye's heart swelled. He hugged back, but then kissed his hair and stepped back. "I'll see you tomorrow, babe. I'll pick you up." Then he turned around and walked home.

Andy waved after the brunet but then went inside. His mum already waited for him in the living room, having seen the two lovers through the window. "Everything alright again? Between you two?", she asked. The blue eyed only nodded and sat down on the couch, sighing contently.
