01. Rain
It’s pouring down with rain, the cold water hits Ryan’s shoulders but he barely feels it as his mind reels with thoughts going in every direction. David is leaving, Real Madrid, Ryan thinks he’s crazy to leave all he has here but his thoughts don’t linger on David for long, they quickly stray to David’s better half.
Just a couple of hours ago everything had been insane and Ryan could barely believe it had happened at all - it seemed like a bit of blur now that his body was shivering with the cold and his mind was still hazy with alcohol. Gary had come over with half a bottle of whiskey in his hand and swaying slightly, Ryan had raised his eyebrows in amusement and let him in.
Gary had then proceeded to mumble and groan about how David was “abandoning” him and “how the fuck was he supposed to do this without him” and Ryan had to fight the urge to role his eyes and remind himself that he needed to be good friend and not a jealous one.
Then out of no where Gary had stumbled forward and landed painfully on his knees in front of Ryan and leaned forward to brush his lips against Ryan’s. Ryan had closed his eyes and it took every ounce of strength he had to push Gary away from him. Gary had looked up with confused eyes.
“Don’t you want me?” Gary had asked and Ryan had sucked in a deep breath and let it out slowly so he could get himself under control.
“More than anything.” Ryan had replied and leaned forward to press his forehead against Gary’s, “But when you kiss me, when I fuck you it’ll be because you want it not because you’re re-bounding from David.”
Ryan had then helped Gary to the guest bedroom, undressed him and settled him down in the bed and watched as he had quickly fallen asleep before pressing a kiss to his forehead and whispered goodnight.
Ryan is brought out of his musings by a car stopping next to him, he turns his head and sees David sitting there looking at him like he’s lost his mind and Ryan gives a half smile before accepting David’s invitation for a ride home.
Ryan murmurs a quiet apology as he watches the rain hit the windscreen repeatedly, for getting water all over David’s seat but aside from that everything is silent.
They stop in front of Ryan’s apartment and David turns to him and says, “Look after him for me.” And Ryan finds that he hates David a little bit in that moment.
02. Anger
Ryan chases after Gary as he storms away after what he saw just moments before in Ryan’s bedroom. Ryan shakes his head as he tries to catch up to Gary when all of a sudden Gary spins around and Ryan stumbles back to avoid being stepped on.
Ryan frowns as he sees the anger and hurt flash in Gary’s eyes and Ryan really doesn’t understand why he’s so angry, so hurt. It doesn’t make any sense to him.
“Gaz -“
“No Ryan don’t.” Gary stops Ryan before he can even start with quick words and his hand held up in front of him and Ryan falls silent immediately and watches as Gary tries (and fails) to get his emotions under control.
“How could you Ryan? My brother, my own fucking brother. Did you think, ‘what’s the best way to get back at Gaz?’ Oh I know I can fuck his brother and even better yet let’s have Gaz walk into my room in the morning and see it.” Gary rants at Ryan and Ryan feels his whole body go cold.
“If that’s really what you think of me --“ Ryan takes a deep breath, “Then its amazing we are even friends in the first place. I would never hurt you intentionally, never.” Ryan shakes his head.
“You want to know what I was thinking? I was thinking “this is wrong” and “I wish you were your brother” and “if I close my eyes maybe I can imagine I actually am with Gary and not his brother” and “stop Ryan, Phil doesn’t deserve this” but you know what, none of that matters because it wouldn’t matter if it was Phil or Roy you couldn’t deal with it because you want me to pine after you forever while David gets to fuck you through the mattress.”
Ryan runs his fingers through his hair in frustration and looks up at the sky and tries to keep the tears at bay and then looks over at Gary again (who is also trying not to cry), “Do you even want me to be happy Gaz? Or is that too much for you?”
Gary opened his mouth and then closed it again and Ryan shakes his head, “You know what, don’t answer that.”
They look at each other and simultaneously tears fall from their eyes.
03. Birth
Ryan’s been grinning since the birth of his baby boy and Gary finds it as charming as ever. Ryan is always in his element when his with his kids and Gary tries to be around as often as possible.
Gary looks down at the tiny boy who is lying in the crib looking perfectly innocent and adorable and Gary feels his heart clench at the sight of this beautiful little boy in front of him. He watches in awe as Zach’s eyes open wide and his hands reach up as he grasps at thin air and looks at Gary pleadingly. Gary swallows thickly before leaning down and carefully lifting the tiny baby into his arms. The grin that graces Zach’s face is enough for Gary to deal with any repercussions with holding him.
Gary tugs him tightly to his chest and rests one hand on the back of Zach’s neck supporting him gently and one hand on his back rubbing soothing circles. Zach rests his head on Gary’s shoulder and Gary smiles wistfully.
“Hi, I’m your uncle Gary.” He whispers softly and feels Ryan arms slide around his waist and squeeze softly before pressing a kiss to his neck and then another kiss to Zack’s head.
“Daddy Gary.” Ryan whispers and Gary grins and hums softly.
04. Months
Gary smiled happily as he stood in the shower at Ryan’s place (Stacey had taken the kids to see her parents) with Ryan’s arms wrapped tightly around his waist and his mouth permanently attached to Gary’s neck.
Gary is still elated, it feels like its been forever since he stepped out onto the pitch and had the ball at his feet and his teammates (friends) surrounding him and the crowd roaring his name, Gary thinks its quite possibly the best feeling in the world but then Ryan bites down on his neck and Gary thinks ‘second best.’
Ryan’s hands are everywhere as they celebrated Gary’s return in their own unique way. Gary threw his head back and moaned loudly at the sensation of Ryan sucking on his neck while grinding his hips into Gary’s at the same time.
“Ry-an.” Gary moans out loudly as Ryan’s hands wonder down to grasp Gary’s cock firmly in his hand as he pumped quickly and still managed to scrape his nails slightly against the head. Gary groaned again and lifted his hips up to thrust into Ryan’s willing fist.
Gary’s orgasm came quickly due to the combined speed of Ryan pumping his hand and Gary thrusting his hips. The water easily washed away any traces of his orgasm and Ryan placed a gentle kiss to his shoulder blade, “Welcome back, Captain.”
