Devland's POV
I woke up and saw that I was in Ryan's room. Wait I fell asleep here? No no no. My moms gonna kill me. I got up to get my stuff and I saw Ryan sit up. "What are you doing?" He asked. "I need to go home. I didn't mean to fall asleep here" I said. He looked at his alarm clock and chuckled. "There's no point. It's 3:45 in the morning" he said. Wait what? I looked at his alarm clock and sighed. He giggled and gave me a hug. "I don't want you to go back to your moms house. I don't want her to hurt you" He said. Wait was he serious? "What do you mean?" I asked. "I hate seeing you hurt. I just want to protect you. Please if she ever hurts you come to me. I'll help you no matter what. I promise" he said.

I started tearing up and he hugged me. I started crying in his chest. He just rubbed my head. I felt soo loved. "Ryan I'm sorry but I'm not gonna be able to sleep. Once I wake up I can't go back to sleep" I said. He looked down and asked "ok well can I help with your cuts?" "Oh um sure" I said. He brought me to his bathroom and got out some bandages and peroxide. Fuck. I hate peroxide soo much. It burns. He gently grabbed my arm and pulled up my sleeves. They're worse than the last time I saw him. And I know for a fact he knows that.

He looked at the cuts and started tearing up. "No no no Ryan please don't cry. I hate seeing you cry" I said. He looked at me and hugged me. I hugged him back. I could seriously feel his sadness. I ran my fingers through his hair. Because usually that calmed him down. He pulled away and wiped away his tears. I was about to say something and that's when Ryan kissed me. Wait why is he kissing me?!? He pulled away quickly and started apologizing. "Devland I'm soo soo sorry. I don't know why I did that I just......" He said trailing off towards the end. Why was he soo sad? I only like him as a friend but just now when he kissed me I felt soo safe.

Ryan's POV
Why did I kiss him? Fuck. He gonna hate me now. I felt him put his hand on my cheek and he looked me in the eyes. "Ryan it's ok. I know you think I hate you but I don't. I'm not ready to date anyone right now but I promise promise we can still be friends. Is that ok?" He said. Was he serious? "That's ok. But why don't you hate me?" I asked. "I don't know. I just feel safe around you and I know that you care about me and you make me feel so loved. I can't hate you even if I tried" he said. He then hugged me. I hugged back and we let go after about two minutes.

He looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back and gently grabbed his arm. He balled his fist up when I put the peroxide on but I told him it was ok. After I did both of his arms I asked "are there anymore?" "Yes I have a few on my legs. It only like 7 or 8" he said. He lifted up his left pant leg and there was 7 small cuts. I pulled up his other pant leg to make sure and there were none. I poured the peroxide on them and he mumbled some stuff. All I heard was fuck a bunch of times. I wrapped up his cuts and helped him off the sink. We walked back to my room and we sat down. It was now 4:00. He said that he couldn't go back to sleep and neither could I so we just sat in my room until it was time to go to school. He drew a few pictures and I put on some movies for us.

Time skip to when they're walking to school~

Devland's POV
Me and Ryan we're walking to school together. Ryan gave me some of his black jeans and a Fall Out Boy shirt. He was wearing some black jeans too with a Veil Of Maya shirt. Ryan grabbed my hand and smiled at me. I smiled back. A few minutes later we were almost at school and that's when Dan came up to us. He looked at me and said "hey 2007 called, they want their jeans back" "oh really? Well you must have been born on the highway because that's where most accidents happen" I said. I heard Ryan snicker and Dan looked at me with an angry expression. Ryan then grabbed him and said "listen if you touch him I will fucking kill you" "fuck you" Dan said and walked away. Ryan sighed and smiled at me. He grabbed my hand and we walked to school.

I was sitting by Ryan in class and Nicki was trying to flirt with both of us. "Nicki get the fuck away from me" I said. She sighed and turned around to flirt with Ryan. "Nicki listen. I wanted to let you know that I'm gay and I will never ever date you" Ryan said. She looked at him and asked "what if I was the last person on earth?" "I couldn't date you because it would only be you on earth dip shit" he said.

Wow he actually had a point.

I giggle and Nicki walked away. Ryan looked at me and we both started laughing. I pulled out my sketch book after we stopped laughing. I didn't have anything on my mind so I looked around for inspiration. Ryan was looking at me. "What?" I asked. He giggled and said "nothing I just like admiring you". I smiled and looked back down at my sketch book. What do I draw? I thought for a bit and just started drawing something. I didn't know what just something. There was 5 minutes until class started and I finished.

"What is that?" Ryan asked

"What is that?" Ryan asked. "I really don't know. I just drew something random" I said. He looked confused. "It looks like my cat because you know it's mean and stuff" he said. We both started laughing. It doesn't really look like his cat but that's probably what it would look like if it was in like pet sematary or if it was possessed. The teacher walked in and saw me and Ryan laughing. She walked up and grabbed my sketch book. She looked at me with and angry expression. "Who drew this?" She asked. "I did. It's just what my mind told me to draw" I said. She shook her head and gave me my book back. I don't know why that teacher hates me soo much.

Time skip to lunch~

Still Devland's POV

I walked to the staircase because again I always go there. I decided to finish up my painting. I heard someone in the hall way so I turned my music off. I didn't want anyone to see me. I saw Dan and Ryan was walking over to the staircase. Fuck. I didn't want Ryan to get hurt. Dan grabbed him and I got scared. I squeezed through the small gap between the wall and the stairs. By the time I was over there Ryan had already beat the fuck out of Dan. Ryan turned towards me and hugged me tight. I hugged him back. He let go and smiled at me.

We walked to the staircase and squeezed through the gap. Ryan sat down and watched me paint. I finished up the back and all I had to do was the spider. "Hey how about we skip class?" Ryan asked. I looked at him and he smiled. "Why?" I asked. He shrugged. "Because I don't feel like going to class" he said. I nodded. "Ok well you finish your painting first and then we can just go somewhere" he said. He can drive so I guess we could go somewhere else. I'm gonna finish my painting. I hope this doesn't go wrong.
