Chapter four
Getting to work
The time was here Ryan finally had the house to himself for a few hours, he knew that his mam was gone out for the night to her friend Rory’s house so she wouldn’t be back home till the following evening at least, he decided now he was finally out of the closet it was time for him to change things up because after all an old key can't unlock new doors, he went to his room and got his phone out and went to search the internet.
He searched the internet for what to wear to win this random guy he was hoping to meet at this training day coming up, he found some male models wearing some very out there outfits which made him feel very ‘happy’ but he knew he couldn’t turn up to a internet safety day in a pair of fish net stockings and a top that wouldn’t cover half his leg, so he decided that he was going to have to keep looking for something nice and casual but also gave off the subtle ‘gay look’ because after all he was trying to find him self a boyfriend, so he wanted to look the part but also not scream ‘I’m desperate show me attention’.
So after about an hour or so of looking online he decided on a nice pair of tan plaid pants, a nice sandy brown short sleeve shirt and a white t-shirt to go under the shirt so he could wear the shirt open, and then he was going to wear the crisp white trainers that Kevin had borrowed for his date. There was about a month to go before the training day and he knew that with Christmas things would be a bit slower to arrive off an online shop so he put in his order and hoped that it would arrive before the training day, after all it was a month away so surely it should arrive before then.
he looked at his phone and it's half past 9 it’s been the longest 2 days of his life, he decides to get into his pyjamas, he has an abundance of tops, but he always decides if its cold he’ll throw on a bottom for comfort, other than that he always sleeps in a pair of boxers, even when Kevin stays. While he’s getting a fresh pair of underwear and a bottom out, the same hoodie from the previous morning fell out again but this time, he paid no heed to it because he needs to close that chapter of his life and move onto the next because it was up to him to make a difference now. He gets changed out of his cloths and into his pyjamas while also getting the usual boy things in while he has the house to himself and no one will interrupt him because, Kevin has no sense of personal space at all so he’s often walked in on Ryan in the act, and that’s an awkward experience for them both. But Kevin never learnt, and he just continues it over and over again. Some might think he was doing it on purpose just for a glance at it.
But you know what they say ‘boys will be boys’ and when two gay fellas are best friends there is bound to be a lot of peeking and things tried between them, but with Ryan and Kevin what ever they did it never changed what they had they still stayed best friends, they both met in play school when they were about a year old so practically nothing could break the 16 year bond they have, not even sharing there 1st kiss together or sharing there 2nd, 3rd,4th or 5th to cut a long story short they kissed a lot before Kevin got with Brian.
When Kevin told Ryan about Brian, he was absolutely thrilled for him. Kevin had been through so much shit in his life with his mam not fully accepting him at first and then earlier in his life when his dad fled the country because of a crime he committed. It was about time things started to look up for him and Brian is an absolute star. He's so good to Kevin and that is what sold Ryan on him.
Ryan puts on that sappy teen rom-com film again, unbeknownst to Kevin, Ryan actually likes the film, he wants to pick up as much tips from the film as he can, although the movie was of course over dramatized for Hollywood satisfaction, he thought that there would surely be something that he could take from it, he wasn’t too far wrong with that thought because after the film he realised that he has to be confident and try keep control over his emotions at all times, that of course would be hard for him, but he has to try it out.
Ryan had dozed off to sleep and woke up a few hours later to someone knocking on the front door, he checks his phone to see what time it was and its 12:30 who could it be he thinks, he goes down and opens the door and it’s no other than Kevin after his date night, he was tipsy and was very off balanced, Ryan props him up and brings him inside.
They go upstairs and get into Ryan’s bed, “omg Ryan it was amazing we had an amazing night, and waiting I tell ya about all the ‘exercise’ we had” shouted Kevin, Ryan puts his arm around him “Kev it's after midnight be quiet, I’ll be more than happy to listen to you in the morning”. They both fall asleep all snuggled up together.
The next morning, they both wake up and Kevin Finally gets a chance to tell Ryan all about his Date night, and he planned on telling him all the details, nothing was off the table. “Now I’ll tell ya about it all Ryan'' tells Kevin, Ryan’s just waking up fully and it rubbing his eyes “go on then ya won't shup till I listen to it” mumbles Ryan, Kevin looks over at him “your dead right I won’t, right so we left here and went to this really nice restaurant in wexford town and the food was to die for and obviously I saved room for my ‘snack’ later in the night, and when we finished up in the restaurant we went out to this car park outside the town and just chilled for a bit talking then I tell ya Ryan I had the best ‘exercise’ I’ve ever had I was sweating after” explains Kevin, Ryan looks him in the eye “ok that was really cute and all the nice meal the chilling out but for god sake you could of spared me some of the details, at least it was good though I suppose” they both laugh “I tell you it was more than good” said Kevin.
They get up and have a hot cup of tea to wake them up, “Kev wait until I show you what I ordered for that training day to wow them all'', Kevin thinks for a second “is it a double sided……” Kevin didn’t get a chance to finish his question before Ryan Butted in “shut the fuck up don’t even finish that. I mean clothes'' Ryan grabs his phone and pulls up his order history to show Kevin, they look through the cloths, “finally Ryan you’ve got some style in ya, after all that time in the closet you’d want to be able to pick out a decent outfit or id be shocked” Ryan notices that Kevin came back with out his crisp white shoes. “by the way Kevin where’s my white shoes' ', Kevin hesitates for a minute “oh erm…… about that…… there in Brian’s car they got dirty when we were out he said he got his mam to wash them for you”. Ryan didn’t get annoyed because he knew that Kevin would replace them if anything happened to them. He always takes care of the things he borrows.
Ryan gets out of his pajamas and Kevin notices something, unsure how to bring it up to Ryan he’s caught between a rock and a hard place but as his best friend he has no choice but to bite the bullet and bring it up.
