Watching
by M. F. Luder
Ryan knows his cues. He knows when to nod, when to snort and when to shake his head. He tends to zoom out, mind wondering as he gazes at Seth's lips as they move. Thin pinkish lips and Ryan imagines them soft and tender.
"-- dude, I'm telling you, it was so funny. Oh, and then--"
Ryan also sees passion in Seth's eyes. A passion Ryan doesn't know, an open heart waiting for him, an innocence that makes the corner of his lip curve upwards.
"Dude, Ryan, are you listening to me?"
Ryan lets himself smile fully. "Always, Seth."
