"RYAN & RHODES"
Young Bryan/April
A/N: GLEE DAY!!!!
Regionals were on their way, and stress was rising all through the Glee Club, but really there was nothing to worry about, not with their stars, their power couple at the top. As it was, all their glory was in the hands - and the voices - of Bryan Ryan and April Rhodes. They had it all, the talent, the support… the front…
“I’m sorry, did you wash your mouth with acid, instead of mouth wash, because that was a trainwreck!” April’s voice went from honey sweet to corrosive as she stared up to her partner from across the room.
“I don’t know that there was enough left after you did your ‘hair,’” he air-quoted with innocence in his voice, paying no attention to her outrage. “But, really, since you brought up ‘voice…’”
“Go ahead, ‘quote’ again and I’ll break your fingers,” she cut in, pointing her finger and her glare at him before he could attack her voice.
“Right, well, just so we’re clear, how many dogs are going to be attending, Miss Shatter-Pitch?”
“Jealous?” she tempted.
“Hardly…” he took a few steps toward her just as she was approaching him. Instinctively he went in to cash in the tension with a kiss, but she stopped him, then nudged him back.
“Hey, hey, I thought I was clear, no more of this,” she wagged her finger between the two of them. He gave her a look, and her face admitted defeat, as she lunged at him. Once they pulled back, dishevelled and out of breath, she staggered along, fixing herself up. “But that… was the last time,” she insisted.
“Sure,” he smirked to himself. “Should we go again?” Her head snapped back to him, about to protest, but he cleared his throat. “I meant the song,” he tapped the piano. It took a moment, but she jumped back into focus, big smile and bigger energy.
“Cue up the music,” she got into position, waiting for him. When he joined her, the first notes playing behind them, she maintained her performance smile, like this was the real thing and not just practice. “Don’t miss the note this time,” she muttered.
“Don’t trip, Boozy,” he muttered back, with the same plastered on smile. Neither of them broke character to snap at each other, not when they were to perform. If anything, that reflex needed rehearsal as much as their numbers did. They would maintain the image they liked others to have of them, because it was mutually beneficial. But really the magic had gone, replaced with acting and playing pretend that all was fine. They could pull that off just fine, none the wiser.
It had started a while back now, where suddenly April had had enough of being a prize of convenience, abandoned for any tempting offer that came along only to be asked to pretend like nothing had happened and everything was fine. She may not have been good at making decisions for herself and her well-being, but she’d made this one. Sometimes she’d slip, sure… She was only human, and young, and being offered Bryan Ryan… He was chocolate, or cheese cake… or alcohol… Hard to say no to, in her case. But she was trying.
