Masters Of Improv
Title: Masters Of Improv
Characters: Ryan/Colin, Mentions of Clive and Greg
Rating: Is kissing fine?
Summary: A guest star on Britline Whose Line.
A/N: Okay, I'm going to be without internet for a while, so I decided to post something I wrote a while ago. Although it was originally was that Naail guy, or something like that, it can be any one who guest starred with Greg, Colin, and Ryan.
I glanced around me, taking in the crowd, Clive, Colin, Ryan, Greg. I took in the cameras, the piano, and every little part of the studio. I couldn't believe I was here, just a beginner at this craft of improv, and here I was, sitting amongst the masters, the proverbial kings of improv.
I felt humbled to be amongst them, to be able to play with them. They knew what they were doing, and the faced it like a game, not like a job. The years seem to melt away from them when they are on stage, they are ageless, never risked, never in trouble. They couldn't be beat. Invincible.
If I manage to coax out a surprised bark of laughter, a smile, a chuckle, I feel like I was just given the highest honor. I feel so honored to just see these regular men morph into something unstoppable, unbeatable, invincible firsthand. Everyone in the audience sees it, but they don't feel it. I feel it, I met these men before the games started.
Greg Proops is a very nice man who has a interesting style of humor. He isn't snarky, or sarcastic, or not any more than people normally are. On stage he grows bolder, and snarkier, more sarcastic. Its amazing how he changes.
Ryan is very much like his stage persona. Not really a persona to be honest. He is funny, and a but on the vulgar side. He is a little cynical, but he is a family man, a happy one to boot. He seems more down to earth than most, and he a kind fellow. I like him.
Colin is different, so very different. He is quiet, less so I realized when with Ryan, shy. He won't try to upstage, he doesn't share cross words and seems to have as much patience as a school teacher. He is very polite, and he is still random, just not as much as he is on stage, the stage high turning his shyness into randomness.
Speaking of Ryan and Colin, that was something else to see. it seems impossible to break them apart, they don't seem the ever fight, neither needing to resort to bald jokes, to high school dropout jokes, to jokes about Ryan's height, or feet. To resort to Colin's choice in silly wear, or his canadian lilt which Ryan seemed to drop.
To get on their wavelength, to get to that level of comfortableness with another, it seemed impossible. To get as in-sync as two could get, if the must, they could finish each others sentences. It was the bond wives hope to get on with their husbands, and a level that is so hard to reach that usually needs years to form, much more then the amount of time it took for these men. The two shared chemistry a director would kill for amongst his cast.
To be honest, I wasn't surprised see to Ryan later kissing Colin. What surprised me was the sheer desperation on Ryan's part. Ryan who held Colin's hands high above the man's head with an arm, holding them to a place where Colin would have a tough time pushing the taller man away. The half-lidded eyes of Ryan's seem to glisten with tears, and Colin's wide with shock.
I was shocked to later find out that was their first kiss, and I when I did, I felt strangely honored to witness the beginning of a relationship that no one could beat. I was shocked to find when Ryan pulled away, he was almost in tears as he whispered "I love you Col. Please, please say you love me."
I was shocked to hear the desperation that made his voice break. I wasn't shocked when Colin pulled the taller man into his arms and say he loved him too. I was shocked to see a man who should have some more confidence, be more cocky, shudder and cry into the shorter man's shoulder as Colin rubbed his back and whispered sweet nothings in his ear.
I left the scene, feeling like I was intruding, to feel like I was given a high honor to see that. I saw Greg and Clive as I past, Greg apologizing for something he said, and Clive, who really wasn't any different from the stage where everyone grew bold, telling him he was a silly American.
I left the studio that day, the studio that was and forever shall I live be magical, the place I witness some of the rarest things, some of the most amazing. When America saw Ryan and Colin kiss after the series moved to US and I was left out, I knew it wasn't all stage kiss, I could still see the love in the taller man's actions, the tenderness he used on the older man.
I found that studio magical too, even through I never witness anything special there. Anything that was worthy enough to house a bond never to broken, to house such talent on a little stage was magical.
I knew people paired Ryan and Colin, some convinced this was more than stage. Some silly girls saying the nervous glances, the innuendos, the jokes was real. They say even through they were married, they were together, that the stage was a safe haven for them, or that their wives couldn't match up to their chemistry.
I smile as I thought that I was one the few who knew that was all true.
