"It's just acting...Or is it?"

Chapter 20

Andy's Pov.
"I'm sorry brook we can't have the party this weekend. We have to play catch up. We're behind because of the weather." I say calmly.
Brook crossed his arms and sulks into the couch.
The night was long. The rain was heavy and angry. I hadn't had much sleep due to the loud thunder. It would crash and I'd bury my face in rye's neck. He didn't seem to mind he just whispered sweet nothings in my ear to make me feel better. It was 5am when the power came back on. And we were in the home studio working on things.
"Well can I at least go back to sleep?" Brook said interrupting my thoughts.
"Um did you already finish your lead and harmony's?" I ask typing something on my laptop.
"Yes. I did. Can I please sleep now."he pleaded. He look like a full on child.
"Yes you can go." I smile.
"Yes thanks dad." He chuckled leaving the room.
"I'm not your dad ! Don't call me that!" I shouted down the hall.
Charlie was finishing up some of the final sounds when rye walked in. I took in a nervous breath.
"Hey guys." He walked over to Charlie and handed him a cup of coffee. And handed me a cup of tea then plopped down next to me in the same spot Brooklyn sat.
"What we don't get any thing to drink?" jack frowned.
"Your not working as hard as them." Rye smirked.
"Ugh whatever" jack shoved sonny's foot waking him up from his sleep.
"How do you have so much energy right
now Rye." I laughed sipping my tea slowly smiling as the warm ness hit my stomach.
"I'm just happy." He said looking at me smiling like and idiot. My cheeks flush and I turn away.
"Okay lovebirds are me and Sonny done?" Jack said with impatience in his voice.
"We're not love birds." I lied.
"Mm whatever can we go" he smirked
"Yeah. You can." Shake my head.
"Yes. Come on son job stop drooling on the chair. Dad said we can go to sleep." Jack shook him and rye chuckled at his comment.
"I'm not your dad." I frown this making rye bust out into laughter.
"Mmm" Jack hummed dragging Sonny to the door.
"Goodnight dads. Luv yous" he joked walking down the hall. Rye was still laughing clutching his stomach.
"Oh shut up Ryan." I say typing angrily on my laptop.
"What you don't like being the band dads." He smiled scooting closer to me making me smile.
"No not really." I glance at his eyes. They look tired and sleep deprived.
"Mm well I think it's funny." He said laying his head on my shoulder watching me quietly tap on my keyboard.
"And why is that?"
He moved and brushed his lips under my ear. "Because. If only they knew what we do behind closed doors...or should I say closets." He whispered sending goosebumps down my body. He giggled and returned to his spot on my shoulder.
"Why have you been giggling so much. You sound like a little kid." I whisper to him.
"Because you make me feel silly inside." He Said closing his eyes.
"Ok guys I finished everything I'm going to head out. You guys should probably get some sleep. See you tomorrow." Charlie said walking out the door.
"By mate." Rye chimed.
We sat in silence for a few minutes.
"So are we sleeping in my room or yours." Rye turned and flashed me a smirk. Making me a little nervous
"Um ..Yours." I reply
"Ok." He pecks my lips. "Let's go because one tired now." I close my laptop and follow him out the door. It was still raining outside. Then the thunder clapped making me jump and grab onto rye.
"It's just thunder Andy. Man up." He joked intertwining our fingers.
"I am a man" I mumble hopping on his bed.
"Mm what was that mr foo foo." He clicked off the light and laid next to me.
"I said I am a man."
"Yes I know." He said trying to cuddle me.
"I'm just as manly and scary as you are." I sat with my arms crossed.
"Sure you are." He said with his eyes closed.
"What do you not think so." I huffed.
"I think I need sleep." He tried to pull me down next to him but I refused.
"So you don't think I'm manly." I frowned.
"I never said that Andy I just think that.." a loud thunder hit making me jump into his arms hiding in his neck.
He laughed softly. "Your manly but your a soft manly. Sweet and approachable. And that's way better than scary untouchable." He hugged me tightly.
"But maybe I wanna be scary and untouchable sometimes." I mumble.
"Why would you want to be like that?" He rubs my back slowly.
"I don't know. I feel like one day your going to get bored of me being cute and squishy." Pull away to look him in the eyes.
"I could never be bored of you." He moves and places a kiss on my forehead and closes his eyes. A few minutes pass and he's asleep.
"You don't know that." I mumble.
