Later that day Ryan lodges the check into his account, and sure enough it went through, Ryan had no doubt of this as he knew that this was his das way of getting back at him, he threw money around like it was nothing at all, he always tried to belittle Tracey, but deep down Ryan knew that Tracey was always doing her best for him, and most recently both him and Kevin, she took him in like he was her own even though she knew he didnt have to, but she loved him for the way he guided Ryan through the hard process of finding him self and who he is, Ryan gets back home and sits Tracey down and talks to her “look mam ovbiously im gunna use alot of the money for me self, im gunna go and have a great day with Toby on saturday and stuff like that, but i wanted to give you something out of it as well, so in about a day or two when the money hits your account from mine, there will be 10 thousand in it, and i dont want to hear none of your shit your taking it, youv always put me first, and recently you let Kevin move in even though you didnt have to at all, but you chose to out of the kindness of your heart” Tracey just sits there and her eyes are welling up with tears “aw Ryan thank you so much im so proud of you, you have a heart of gold, i really apprecieate the money but you dont owe me a thing” Ryan gives her a hug "i know i dont ma but you deserve it you havnt had it eacy since that prick left but you always made sure that you done right by me and gave me the best life that you could" Ryan insisted.
He got up and made Tracey a cup of coffee and a grilled cheese with come coleslaw, "right mam im off down town i want to run and get a new jeans and hoodie for tomorrow, and i may grab me ticket from the station as well, do you need anything while i'm down?" he asks, Tracy thinks before she answers "nope im fine chap im going to head up to Gorey for a while want to pick up a few bits and get out of the town for a few hours, will i leave kev out the key'' Ryan grabs his wallet and keys "nah your grand im meeting him down town after work he's coming with me to help pick out my cloths". Tracey nods "enjoy yourselves'' Ryan gives her a hug "we will mam don't worry, i'm going to treat me and Kev to dinner so don't worry bout that you go and enjoy yourself ma ya deserve it" Ryan grabs his wallet and headphones and heads down town to meet Kevin. He checks his phone. It's 4:09 and he's in plenty of time. Kevin is not out till 20 past and it's only a 5 minute walk, Ryan hates being late to anything regardless of what it is.
he arrives outside the medical centre at 4:17 he took a little longer walking this time as he had to skip through the not vibey songs in his playlist, soon enough Kev walks out "heya Ryan, so where we heading first" Ryan looks at his phone, "i gotta run over to the train station and grab my ticket for tomorrow first then, iv to go get my clothes then i'm treating us to dinner on me and i'm not taking any objection from you you deserve a treat" Kevs chuffed by this, "well Ryan you'll get no argument from me" the boys walk over to the train station and collect the ticket "so how hell do you use this machine thingy you you like tap your card or something" Kevin inquires "well kev when you book and pay for your ticket online you get emailed a reservation code which you punch into this machine and it prints off your ticket it saves a lot of time in the morning". Kevin is slightly amazed by this, almost like its new technology. Well to him it is new.
once they finish at the ticket machine they go to pick out Ryans cloths. He finds a nice grey ripped jeans Kev frowns upon it "Ryan do you see how high that rip is there jeez he'd see the whole crown jewels least leave somethings to the imagination" he insists. Ryan shrugs and puts it back "well yeah i suppose that's true, i guess i'll just wow him completely with my looks and personality" he says sarcastically, "well least you're setting yourself a challenge" he laughs, they both continue looking they decide on a nice black jeans, a mint green baggy hoodie and a nice graphic tshirt and his white shoes he wore on the training day. They have a look around before paying and they pick up a few other bits, Ryan gets them some snoodies each for when they are having movie nights. They pay at the till Ryans is surprised at the total €135.50 he looks at his bags and realised he picked up a lot more than he expected. "Cmon Kev I'm starvin. time for grub" they walk up the town and decide on the restaurant they want, they decide on an indian place in the centre of the town they both love this place.
they both go inside and take a seat, with in minutes a waitress comes over to their table to take their order "hey boys what can i get started for yous" the boys dont even need to think of what they want they instantly know, Ryan places the order "can we have 2 chicken curry and rice and can i get a portion of chips and tenders as well and 2 large oranges please". the waitress jots it down and goes to place the order in. "right Ryan your like a bag of nerves, how you feeling about tomorrow" Ryan looks up at Kevin "to be honest Kev i don't know like i'm really excited but really nervous at the same time i can't wait, like i really like him i really do he makes me feel like no one has before". Kev realises that Ryan has completely fallen for him "you know what Ryan i think you should go for. He clearly makes you happy and to me that's all that matters' '. The food arrives and they begin to eat, there enjoying it alot more than usual. they finish up quick enough. "Fancy having a movie night when we get back Kev '' he asks, "yeah but you don't stay up too late Mr you've got places to be, people to see tomorrow" they both laugh and take their stuff, pay and leave.
once they get back to the house, get into there new snoodies, not long after the movie goes on Ryan texts Toby "hey handsome heading to bed can't wait to see you tomorrow" he hits send and turns to sleep, Toby replies "good night sweetheart sleep well, can't wait to see you either, text me when your train leaves" Ryan smiles after reading it, he goes back to watching the movie but soon doses off to sleep. he wakes up a couple of times throughout the night to check the time then go back to sleep.
7:00 AM rolled around and Ryan was already up, he got dressed and got breakfast, he decided not to wake any of them up, might as well let them sleep, he can make it to the train station in plenty of time. he sits down to have a sandwich some fruit and a coffee for breakfast, he packs a sandwich and some crisps for on the train if he gets peckish. Once he's finished up he grabs his charger and his power bank and heads out the door and down town, he made sure he was quick at getting down because his train leaves at 8:05 am.
he gets there at 8:03 am barely made it in time, he thinks to himself just an hour or so and i get to see Toby. once he gets on the train he takes out his phone and texts Toby "heyy handsome just on the train now its leaving town, i should be in your arms in the next 2 hours and 10 mins <3" he sends the text and goes to watch videos he had downloaded to entertain him on the way up. Shortly after Toby replies back "omg i cant believe im going to get to hold you in my arms again it's going to be amazing" Ryan just smiles uncontrollably at his phone.
after what feels like forever he arrives at connolly station, he rings Toby "hey handsome i just got off the train, where will i meet you?" he asks, Toby thinks for a minute before he answers "if you come down the stairs of your platform there will be a little sheltered area there was an old newsagents there there's very little people here, see you in a few", Ryan is a bit weary about the area he is meeting Toby but he trusts him and follows his directions anyway. Once he gets to the bottom of the steps he sees Toby standing there looking amazing with a bunch of roses in hand he runs up and hugs him "i'm so happy to see you again, and you didn't have to get me flowers ya dope". Toby laughs, "there not just for you, i wanted to ask you something" he states, Ryan's excited he has no idea what's coming he nods "well Ryan i know it's only been a matter of a few days but you have changed my life in ways that i didn't think were possible, and i've thought about this for a while and i would love if you wanted to be my boyfriend"
Ryan is over run with emotions he starts tearing up "of course i do". Toby wraps his hand around him and whispers in his ear "i was so scared you were going to say no" Ryan hugs him tighter "of course i wouldn't say no i really like you as well, let's go to that nice cafe and celebrate"
would things be all as they seem or would things turn for the worst?
