Once the boys had paired up they began on their ice breaker challenges to get to know each other, they started with just simply asking each other questions, “what was it like for you moving over to ireland?” Ryan asks. Toby thinks before he answers “it was really hard, like i left my whole life and friends back in america and i had to try fit in here and to be honest it really hasn't been easy, people tend to avoid me because i was the new kid who doesnt fit in, like i have tried so hard to, i didn't even expect you to say yeah to partnering up for this” Ryan feels so sorry for him because of the way he has been treated “oh shit you really haven't had a easy time, i know it might mean anything but i'm really sorry for the way that you have been treated by people, and if it makes any difference you seem like a really nice person”. Toby looks at Ryan surprised he didn't know that Ryan was going to be this nice to him, he's just got used to being treated like shit by everyone.
The boys continue to chat and get to know each other, they get on really well this came as a surprise to both of them as this wasn't expected, Ryan thought that he was just going to be rude or just not entertain the conversation, and likewise for Toby. to say they hit it off would be an understatement. Once the time for the ice breakers was over they all went back to the group and they had to make a poster on internet safety for a little competition they were holding with the whole group, once they had the group poster done they had to present it to the whole group. Ryan and Toby volunteered to be the ones for their group so when the time came around they got up and spoke, “well in our poster we decided to make it with both graphics and slogans on it” Ryan paused so Toby can have a chance at speaking “well erm. We have a slogan here it says we are the future of the internet so be the change we want to see!'' The organisers start to clap as Toby finishes up explaining about the poster.
Once the poster showcase is done it was time for lunch, as the boys are getting up to go toby decides to take his shot while he has it “hey Ryan by any chance would you like to have lunch with me? Its ok if not” he goes red in the face. Ryan turned around to him and says “are you for real of course i would like to just one sec till i grab my power bank from my bag” Ryan is overjoyed with this and can't believe that this is happening to him, they walk out of the room together, go over to the buffet and pick out there food “i'm just going to go get a coffee would you like one?” asks toby, Ryan smiles “yeah i'd love one if you don't mind, i'll carry your plate to the table if you want, while you grab the coffees” Toby hands Ryan his plate and goes to make the coffees, Ryan finds a table for them to eat at by the window. Ryan takes out his phone and texts Kevin to update him about the situation “OMFG Kev guess what, i got partnered up with this american boy called Toby who lives in dublin he's so nice we were doing ice breakers and we got to know each other, then when we were going for lunch he asked if i'd like to have lunch with him, and now he's gone to make us a coffee while i found a table he's actually so sweet, and cute af as well” Ryan hits send and puts his phone in his pocket, just as he does Toby walks over with the coffees.
Toby hands Ryan his coffee and sits down, “i didn't know if you take sugar or anything so i brought some sachets over, but like your sweet enough already”, Ryan looks him in the eyes and for a second it was like the whole world stopped and it was just the two of them, “oh em thank you thats really sweet” Ryan replies, they both smile and continue eating once there done there food they chat a bit more. “Hey i just need to run to the loo” Ryan says as he is getting up, Toby gets up to “i actually do to, do you mind showing me where it is'' Ryan nods and they start walking to the bathroom, once they get there they both go into separate cubicles once they finish up they wash there hands and dry them, Ryan looks at Toby and it's like they just connect, once they both come back round Toby walks over to Ryan and hugs him without even opening his mouth to say anything, they hug for what feels like an eternity, Ryan looks Toby right in the eyes again and they both kiss, no explanation but there both whisked away. They stop and just start laughing, once they get back to the table they can't help but laugh and giggle like children.
They get back to the training room and they sit beside each other. While the two group leaders are explaining about the importance of internet safety Toby holds Ryan's hand, he smiles at him, once the training is over they get up and are getting ready to leave, Toby taps Ryan's shoulder “i really enjoyed being with you today could i have your snap maybe” Toby hands Ryan his phone so he can put his user name in to it, they hug before they both part ways. Ryan, Siobhan and Ms. Coates are walking back to the bus stop they still have an hour before there bus is due. Ms.Coates brings Ryan and Siobhan to a coffee and a muffin in a small cafe on the way. There sitting down and there chatting about the training day and Ms.Coates brings up the two boys hugging to find out what went on, “so erm Ryan i kind of saw you and that other boy hugging and yous spent most of the day together, seems like you might of found someone for yourself”. Ryan looks at her embarrassed “i don't know Ms maybe i did”. His phone beeps its a text from Kevin “sorry lad only saw this now, i'm so happy for you, you have to give me all the details when you get home” he replies to kevin “of course i will, got sooo so much to tell you ;)” while he's on snap he adds Toby back. He thinks to himself “will i snap him now or will i wait for a bit, i dont want to seem cringy” he decides to wait for a bit and just snap him when he gets on the bus, they finish up in the cafe, Ms coates paid and they left and started to walk back to the bus stop.
Once they get on the bus stop Ryan opens his phone and takes a selfie with a cute filter on and captions it "hey cutie" he sends it to Toby. While he's waiting for a reply he starts to watch youtube again, he dozes off to sleep for a bit, he wakes up when they're going back through wicklow. He opens his phone and he has 2 snaps from Toby one of them was saying "hey beautiful" and the second one was captioned "i honestly really enjoyed today, you're actually so sweet and honestly really cute. and a good kisser as well ngl" as Ryans reading he can't help but smile he snaps back "sorry i fell asleep on the bus home, but same really i enjoyed it alot, to be honest you're a good kisser and you've got really soft hands as well"
Toby snaps him back a bit later "aww you're actually so freaking cute, I'd love to see you again some time soon". When Ryan sees his name pop up on his phone his heart races he opens it and is shocked by it. he takes a bit before replying "yeah i'd love to see you again sometime soon. do you maybe wanna facetime later '' they're going through Gorey now so they're just about home. He snaps back "yeah i'd like that what time do you think you'll be back home" . Ryan checks what google maps says and snaps Toby back "were just going through Gorey now so i'll be about another half hour till i get home so about an hour and a half by the time i get something to eat and all if that suits' '. "of course take your time there's no rush just let me know when your ready" Ryan replies to him "i will of course, looking forward to it"
