Trigger Warning: Reference to past rape.
Ryan Ross is a messed up college drop out. Drugs have become his best friends to escape the nightmare that was his reality on that fateful summer night in 2014.
Usually Ryan prefers to keep to himself, however when money is running low and he really needs to get fucked up and just forget, he decides to finally attend one of his friend, Spencer's, well renowned parties.
Amongst the blur of people one boy stands out to him.
So what does Ryan end up doing when he wakes up the next morning, coming down from a trip with that stranger stuck in his head. Hell, the only thing he can remember from that night was the way the light reflected in his gorgeous dark brown eyes.
Ryan has suffered an indescribable loss. He's convinced he's meant to go it alone for the rest of his life. Then Brendon enters the picture...
A Ryden AU.
