Summary: "We can just forget it ever happened, if you think that would be best."
Disclaimer: I don’t own HSM, obvs, and the title of this fic is from the song “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers.
Author's Notes: I’m just beginning to come out of a six-month writing slump and this is one of the first things I’ve written. It's for
hsm_100 (prompt: kiss). If it sucks, that’s because my muse is still a bit dusty, bless it. Also, thanks to
amory_vain for encouraging me to do this.

“Troy…”
“What?” Troy snaps more viciously than he intends.
Ryan stares at the floor, both unwilling and unable to meet the other boy’s gaze. “We can just forget it ever happened, if you think that would be best,” he says quietly.
Troy looks at him with tortured eyes but says nothing.
“This isn't worth losing our friendship over, Troy. I think you…” Ryan’s voice cracks. “I think you should go back to your girlfriend.” He feels nauseated as he lies, “It was only a kiss.”
Troy puts his head in his hands. “The trouble is,” he says miserably, “it wasn’t.”
