Elephants - A OneRepublic/Ryan Tedder Fanfic

Chapter 65

Ryan was still asleep when I got up, looking kinda cute. I hadn’t told him about it really, but I hadn’t been feeling great recently. You know, not sleeping or eating much, I just don’t want to worry him. He is always so busy anyway or trying to make up for time he had to work. I decided I’d be a nice girlfriend and make him breakfast, bacon almost always wakes him up. I had the bacon sizzling away and the kettle on, I had managed to find some tablets for him too. I was just putting his stuff on a plate when I heard a groan.

“My head.” He moaned. I walked in and placed the coffee and tablets in front of him, he smiled sweetly. “What would I do without you?”

“Probably be sleeping in an alley right now, or at the very least not have a coffee.” I replied, giving him a quick kiss on his forehead before bringing him the bacon.

“Aren’t you eating?” He asked.

“I’ve already eaten.” I answered smoothly, I felt so bad for lying to him. He just nodded already eating his.

“Sorry about yesterday.” He ran his hand through his hair.

“Don’t be, you are allowed a good time too you know! Just make sure you’re presentable for your interviews today.” I ordered.

“Interviews?” His little face was all scrunched up in confusion. It was honestly the cutest thing I have ever seen. Okay, maybe not, but it was really, really cute.

“Yeah hunny, tonight you’re playing Hollywood Bowl and you have some interviews for today. You guy’s haven’t been doing enough press, so you have to do press.” I explained, feeling like I was talking to a little kid.

“Damn, I forgot that was today.” He admitted.

“Baby, I’m not entirely sure you knew what day it was.” I laughed.

“Fair point.” He conceded, smiling. He finished off his coffee. “God, I needed that.” He sighed. I pulled him in for a kiss, this one more passionate. “And I definitely needed that.”

“Shower! Go!” I giggled.

“Are you coming too?” He asked hopefully.

“Not today babe, you need to get ready. There’s always next time.” I informed him. He sighed and went off to shower. But damn, I wanted to be in there with him. It was my turn to sigh. Then Adam wandered in. So, maybe it was a good thing I didn’t go with Ryan. Adam looked even worse than Ryan had, poor guy. “Not looking too good bro.”

“Fuck you. I’m dying.” He complained, dropping down on the sofa next to me.

“Dying really?”

“Mmhhm. I came to die with my favourite sister.” He groaned.

“Don’t be a baby.” I brought him some water and tablets. He took them gratefully.
