O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O <--19 medals!
O <--Hang on, make that 20! :D HE WAS AAAAAH-MAZING AND EPIC AND I'M SO PROUD OF THEM BOTH.
They were side by side for this race. Right after winning, I couldn't help but notice how Michael was happy but subdued, respecting Ryan's feelings, having just lost. I loved that more than the medal, you guys. And then they gripped hands across the water and Ryan was exhausted from two back-to-back races and disappointed and then they were loling together as they got outta the pool and later there was podium-whispering and touching and Michael tears with woobie lip and just. My boys. ♥
Aww, he looked over right away. Their last finish of a race together. Sniff.
Ryan's face aldfkajds.
Had my fingers crossed for a hug or some fingers curled around necks, but I'll take manly grippy hands!
HELL YEAH YOU FINALLY THREE-PEATED! :DDDDD
That water on his hip is distracting me omg. O.O I WANT TO GO TO THERE.
Not even outta the pool yet and already making each other lol. More than likely over who gets to top later. ♥
"YAY I WON, I GET TO TOP LATER!"
Long fingers are long. And, yes, my mind is going to a dirty place right now.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, happy boys! I'm just going to always ship them.
You'll get all dem golds in 2016, Ryanpants! :X
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I love how Laszlo Cseh is leaning into the frame, like, HEY GUYS... GUYS? I WON ONE TOO! GUYS?
THE WOOBIE LIP OMG. :'(
In conclusion:
