Spencer might have stopped breathing for a minute. Then he asked, “What?”
Brendon rubbed the back of his neck. “The hiatus. It was a bad idea, okay?”
Spencer nodded, felt his eyes start to prickle, because goddamnit. “Ryan’s not here,” he managed, and then shut the door in Brendon’s face.
You make us feel that little flair of hope Spencer has only to have it wrenched away.
Spencer lunged and grabbed Ryan around his skinny little waist and hauled him back, because once Ryan started biting there was only about ten point five seconds before he burst into tears I love that good life long friends like those two would know that about each other.
He wasn’t sure Brendon knew the difference between for and by, because there were reasons, good reasons, fucking awesome reasons to come out, and all of them were right, and it was always nice not to have to do it alone.
The point you're having Spencer make, with for myself vs by myself, is important. I love how you have them all there stealthing out across the street. And I enjoyed Brandon's apparent realization that Spencer actually loves him. Sweet.
