Okay, but what if... Lorenzo getting in on Ryland and Alex's relationship?
Awww that's such a cute thought to me.Lorenzo just having the biggest crush on the both of them but pretty sure both of them are straight so he tries to ignore it. After a while, he finds out they're in a relationship and is simultaneously excited and bummed, and he only gets more infatuated with both of them.And then one day he and Alex are alone after practice, Lorenzo staying behind to help put shut away so he can state at Alex a little longer. And Alex just cornering him against the table and leaning in close and Lorenzo's heart just about beats out of his chest when Alex actually kisses him. And he's too shocked to do anything but stand there so Alex pulls back and he just blurts, "Aren't you with Ryland??"And Alex has to explain that Ryland and his relationship is more open and that he's talked to Ryland about this cause he's had the biggest fucking crush on him and Lorenzo is just /floored./ And this time he doesnt freeze when Alex leans back in.And now they're dating and it's fucking great but Lorenzo cant help but wish Ryland liked him too but hey, one out of two aint bad right? But Ryland keeps /touching/ him, little things like a hand on his shoulder or fingertips brushed over his hip and it's worse when he does it when Alex is kissing him cause suddenly his mind is going places it really shouldn't.A time happens when they're all sitting together, Lorenzo between them, and Ryland just leans over and kisses his temple, ever so gently and Lorenzo just freezes again, Alex's hand tightening on his and Alex just says, "Oh now? Really?" and Ryland huffs and tells him to shut up and Lorenzo is just so confused. So he asks them both what's going on and Alex rolls his eyes and gestures at Ryland."He wants to ask you out, but he's a chicken," Alex says, and Ryland looks right about to get up and leave so Lorenzo swallows his fear and asks him if it's true. And Ryland reluctantly confirms it. Lorenzo, hand shaking, puts his hand over Ryland's and squeezes, just lightly."I'd like that," He says and Ryland turns his head but Lorenzo sees his face turn pink before he can hide and his chest just fills with happiness.
have some Rylex
I kinda really want to see a fic where Ryland and Alex go to a music festival and sees NSP and Sta/rbomb. Their reactions to seeing these successful guys who look so much like them.
Or maybe they come across the Ga/me Gru/mps channel and they always watch together, finding it entertaining and funny how Arin and Dan's voices sound so similar to their own and the cartoon avatars look a bit like them. Also the shock they go through when the grumps upload an ad, letting Ryland and Alex see Arin and Dan for the first time.
’Ryland rubbed his upper arms, obviously uncomfortable. He met Alex’s eyes. “. . .You look great.” Alex grinned. “So do you.” “I look stupid,” Ryland said. “I hate pink.” “But it looks fantastic on you,” Alex said.’‘
From @samanthaauburn fanfic “Switched”
After the Killcore tournament, Alex's thoughts turn to Sam and how she put her Olympic tennis goals on hold for them. He and Ryland feel bad, knowing how it feels to have something you're passionate about ripped from you. They decide they want to help her get back in the game, after finding out her tennis 'friends' have moved on without her. Alex starts reading many tennis coaching books, while Ryland learns how to play. They approach Sam, offering their help. Sam is skeptical at first but she agrees, not having any other options.
Plus, Alex's coaching for Killcore was very effective, even if she had gone overboard pushing herself. And she's seen firsthand that Alex and especially Ryland do care about her well being. Alex begins coaching her in much the same way as before but with a bit more praise and care. He still feels guilty for having a hand in putting Sam in the hospital and wants to avoid a repeat. Ryland becomes her practice partner and although he isn't that good, his strong flat returns and unpredictable movements are very helpful. Sam has to think quickly and strategize her moves. After every training session, the three go back to Ryland and Alex's place. Sam sits sideways on the couch, leaning back into Alex's side. Her legs are across Ryland's lap. Ryland massages her, still weak, knee. His large hands firm and delicate from years of his secret hobby of knitting. The three talk about anything and everything, finding complete comfort and relaxation with each other.
Can’t help but notice on a rewatch that Ryland and Steamin kinda behave like they were more than friends in the past...
Like maybe Steamin was jealous of Ryland’s fame and skill and purposely got close to him only to humiliate and ruin his reputation and that betrayal led to Ryland having insecurities about himself, his distrust of other people and his pessimistic outlook on life...
