prompts 70 + 103 // “Well. Yell, scream, say something. Anything” + “How can you still look so attractive while crying”
A hard day at work mixed with Ryan’s rising anxiety of his girlfriend finding out his biggest secret was not a good. Pair that with alcohol and that boy was too far gone to do anything about it.
It was only a mistake. That’s what he kept telling himself. That the kiss didn’t mean anything. That the warm feeling he got in his tummy and the blush that formed on his cheeks was because of the drinks he had had throughout the night.
Ryan Bergara tried so hard to convince himself that he didn’t feel anything when he kissed Shane Madej. But he felt a lot.
He knew he had to tell Helen. The guilt ate away at him piece by piece and soon there wouldn’t be anything left of him. She deserved better than a liar. Helen was incredible, but somewhere in their relationship, something went wrong and Ryan had lost the spark he had once felt for her. That broke his heart more that anything. He knew it would be easier to continue dating Helen, try and urge that spark back, but he had to stay true to himself.
Shane had woken up and gone to work as he usually would everyday. But this day when he arrived something seemed off. He sat at his desk and logged into his computer and emails and saw that the top an urgent message.
Message: come to the bathrooms opposite our desk i need to talk to you’
Shane thinks for a minute. What’s so bad that they had to talk in the bathrooms? Oh my god the drunk night. He bolts up from his chair and tries to inconspicuously walk to the mens toilets. He knew rationally he wasn’t going to draw attention to himself but his paranoia was strong as he made the quick walk.
He and Ryan were the only ones in the mens bathroom and as soon as Shane pushed the door open, Ryan shoved him against the wall and kissed him.
Not what he was expecting.
Shane quickly reciprocated the kiss before he could think about anything else. Yes, it was a drunk night, but the kiss meant so much to him. It wasn’t a mistake like Ryan had tried to convince himself.
“Sorry um..I just wanted to see if um..I still felt the same as I did when I first kissed you.” Ryan said bashfully, redness creeping up his neck.
“Do you?” Shane’s voice was just above a whisper, anxious about the words about the leave his companion’s mouth.
“Yeah..” The two of them let go a breath neither realised they had been holding. Shane nervously laughed and went in to kiss Ryan again and they kissed fleetingly before Ryan spoke up again.
“Listen..I um..I’m gonna tell Helen about what happened that night and about us and how I really really like you Shane Madej.” Ryan’s voice cracked halfway through his sentence and he tried to smile but his face looked as if it would crumple at any second.
Shane was speechless, he didn’t know what to say. He could only nod. But what would Helen think of him? Would she hate him? Probably, but that’s understandable. Shane didn’t even notice Ryan had began to cry until he heard the sniffs from the younger man.
Shane wrapped his arms around Ryan and held him close. This situation was make or break. The two of them might not even work out, what then? They continue the show with added awkwardness?
“I got really *hic* drunk last night and decided it was the right thing to do. And- why are you smiling like that?” Ryan pulled away from the hug and wiped away the tears.
Shane hadn’t even noticed he’d been smiling, it was subconscious, which just made him smile more.
“How can you still look so attractive while crying?”
“Oh my god you’re an idiot” Ryan laughed and leaned up to kiss Shane again.
Without warning the door flung open and in walked Zach and Eugene, hand in hand. Ryan and Shane couldn’t pull away quick enough.
“Oh my fucking god!” Zach shrieked.
“Not a word tiny man or I break your glasses.” Shane looked down at Zach and walked out with a wink.
“Just for the record, you guys are cute together.” Ryan ruffled Zach’s hair and followed Shane out the door.
“Well. Yell, scream, say something. Anything.” Ryan begged, but Helen just sat there. Her eyes were glazed over as she tried to process what her (ex) boyfriend had just told her.
Ultimately, she saw it coming. She knew something was up just from the way the two men had started looking at each other.
“Yeah um..yeah okay I have to go but like…I don’t hate you Ryan, I just need time to process this…I still love you..Bye” Helen sighed and got up off the couch. She wasn’t mad. Yet.
Ryan heard the front door close and put his head in his hands. His phone buzzed next to him.
