Good Times (Bandom Multiship) (this fic has been abandoned)

//Chapter 10//

Dallon had expected to find a lot of things back at the tent, but what he finally found overstrained his social skills. Brendon was sitting in his chair, well, it looked more like he was lying in his chair, sobbing like hell and crying his eyes out. Dallon dropped the bag with the buns and quickly ran over to him. Hugging him tightly, he carefully asked him what had happened with Ryan, which made Brendon cry even more. So Dallon waited until the other boy had calmed down a little and made a bun with peanut butter for him in the meantime. Then he sat down opposite of Brendon, gave him the bun and asked the same question again. "W-well, he a-asked me i-f I meant t-the kis-s, I s-s-said ye-s and th-en he j-just r-ran!", Brendon choked out, sobs interrupting him every now and then. Dallon frowned. "He...ran? Where to?", he asked confusedly. "I d-on't kn-ow!", Brendon answered before he took a small bite of his peanutbutter-bun.

It was a confusing morning for Gerard. First, instead of his little brother Patrick had crawled out of Ray's tent and after that Ryan had showed up, all upset and about to cry and was now sitting in one of the cheap camping chairs the middle of the clearing flanked by Ray and Patrick who tried to find out the reason for him being upset. Gerard looked over  at them and felt how he was starting to wonder the same thing. He knew that Ryan had always had a crush on Brendon so it was possible that something happened between the two, but what was it, and where even was Brendon? Also, where the hell was Mikey? If he hadn't spent the night here, then where had he slept? Suddenly he heard the zipper of his tent and turned around, just to see Frank crawl out, rubbing his eyes and yawning. He blinked a few times and when his eyes had finally adapted to the light, he looked up at Gerard. "What's going on?" he asked and pointed at Ryan and the others. Gerard shrugged, "Ryan came over here a few minutes ago all upset and stuff and now he's here. I don't know why either.". "Maybe it's something with Brendon?" Frank suspected and stood up. "Should we go check on him?" Gerard asked and shot a careful glance at Frank. He just looked so adorable, all sleepy and soft with messy hair and in pajamas. Frank nodded and Gerard reached out his hand to help him up. To his surprise, Frank actually took his hand and Gerard pulled him up. Together they left the clearing and started searching for Brendon's campground.

They finally found Brendon on his campground together with Dallon who was sitting next to him trying to comfort him. Gerard and Frank carefully walked up to them, then Gerard asked:"What's going on, are you ok?". Brendon didn't even lift his head, he just ķept staring at the floor in front of him, Dallon waved at them to come closer. "Bren basically confessed to Ry and Ry just ran away." he explained quietly. Gerard and Frank looked at each other and Frank said:"we thought something like this...is he going to be okay?". He glanced over at Brendon who was still sitting in the chair without seeming to notice the other guys. Dallon shrugged, a worried look on his face. Suddenly, he had an idea. "Hey, do you guys know where Ry is?",he asked whispering. Gerard nodded. "Yeah, he's at our place, he's about in the same condition as Bren...", he explained. "Sooooo...what you're saying is that Ryan is as upset about all of this as Bendon? Why do you think is that?", Dallon said and a careful smile appeared on his face. Gerard shrugged, froze and then it finally came to his mind what Dallon was trying to say. He started smiling as well and saw that Frank had realized too what that might mean. "I'm going back and see if I can find out why exactly Ry is so freaked out!", he whispered excitedly and ran off immediatly.

The campground still looked like when Frank and Gerard had taken off a few minutes before. Ray and Patrick were still sitting there with Ryan who was still crying. Gerard walked over and joined the group acting like he was here to help as well, which was even true in a way. "Ryan, what's going on?", he asked carefully, awaiting the answer with excitement. Ryan took a deep breath before he was ready to answer, but what he said almost made Gerard explode. "Bren, he-he confessed to me...you saw the kiss too, last night, didn't you?". Ryan didn't look up, he sat there in the same way Brendon did staring holes into the sandy ground between his feet. "Yeah, I did", Gerard said, trying to keep his voice calm. "So what's the problem now?" he then asked as if he didn't know the answer already. Ryan took a deep breath again and when he started talking again, his voice was shaky. "I was totally freaked out and I ran, okay!?". Ryan looked up, tears running over his face again. "I fucking ran! Bren probably thinks I hate him now and he'll never forgive me for doing this! It's not like I don't like him back, but now he won't want me anymore anyway, right?!". While Ryan was now pressing his hands over his mouth, his eyes wide and regretful after he realized what he had just said, Gerard turned away with a little knowing smile on his face. When he had seen Brendon before he had actually been worried that his group of friends might break over this, but now he knew, he could fix this. It was a nice feeling. He quickly ran back to Frank, Brendon and Dallon, pulled Dallon and Frank away from Brendon and quickly told them what he had found out. They reacted about the same as Gerard, but now they needed a plan. They had the knowledge necessary to reunite the two boys, but nobody knew how to tell them without seeming like they were interfering with their reationship.
