Someone mentioned an AU where Mob Boss!Shane got put in jail for minor crimes and Ryan is his cellmate, and I got an idea. So Ryan stays out of Shane’s way and doesn’t fuck with him and everything is fine. One day tho, because of Ryan being a smaller dude (and kinda looking like jailbait tbh) some huge dude tries to force Ryan to be his birch. Ryan can’t take the dude (as strong as he is) so he accepts his fate until Shane strolls into the room (part 1)
[(Part 2) Shane then takes one look at this dude and says “this one is mine” the dude immediately backs the fuck off. Meanwhile Ryan is kinda confused, but completely fine with being Shane’s fuck buddy.]
The moment Ryan learned he was in a cell with a well known mob boss, he made the informed decision to stay the fuck out of his way. Ryan’s happy living out his prison sentence as a background person, but apparently not everyone is content with that. There’s this guy that had been trying to pull moves on Ryan for over two weeks, claiming that he’s ‘so small he must be someone’s bitch’.
The man himself is larger and buff, and Ryan stands no chance against him when he corners him in the bathroom stalls while everyone else is on lunch. Ryan know he can’t logically fight back or run this time, and accepts his fate of being doomed. The man is busy roughing him up when the bathroom door opens, and low and behold it’s Ryan’s cellmate. Ryan tries to show his distress as much as possible without voicing it, and apparently it works.
“This one is mine,” Shane snarls, and the man immediately steps away from Ryan and hurries out of the bathroom. Ryan is a mix of confused, happy and panicked. “I wasn’t joking either,” Shane reaffirms his previous statement, giving Ryan a nod before turning and walking out.
