Just a fluffy one-shot that popped into my head...hope you like it!



Ryan sat in a room backstage at the theatre in Las Vegas, silently flicking through a magazine as Greg and Chip joked around across the room. They were waiting to start the rehearsal for their show with Drew that night.

As he talked to Chip, Greg glanced over at Ryan and frowned at his lack of communication. Everyone had noticed a change in Ryan's behaviour recently. He had become increasingly withdrawn over the last few weeks and it was starting to affect his performance on stage as his heart wasn't in it. They all knew the reason of course. Colin had been off on tour with Brad for the last couple of months and, even though they talked on the phone at least once a day, everyone knew Ryan was missing him horribly. When Greg had tried to talk to him about it, he had been subjected to Ryan's infamous temper and hadn't mentioned it again.

The shrill sound of Ryan's cellphone filled the room and Greg saw Ryan's morose expression light up in an instant as he answered it.

"Hey," he said into it as he smiled for the first time that day. Greg and Chip exchanged smirks as Ryan carried on with the conversation. It was like looking at a completely different person than a moment ago but Greg knew he was putting on a bright and cheery act for Colin's sake.

"Yeah, we're just about to start the run-through," Ryan was saying. Greg mouthed to Ryan to say hi for him and Ryan rolled his eyes.

"Greg says hi," he said, listening for a moment before saying to Greg, "Col says hi back," and shaking his head as Greg grinned.

"Maybe I should just pass you over," Ryan said exasperatedly. Greg held his hand out for the phone only to be swatted away by Ryan.

Ryan listened for another minute before saying, "Ok, I'll talk to you later.....love you too....bye." He hung up, Greg and Chip looking at him expectantly.

"So how's Col doing?" Greg finally asked when Ryan didn't volunteer any information.

"He's good," Ryan replied, putting his phone away. "He couldn't talk for long because they needed to go through some things for the show. They're in Ohio at the moment."

"Oh really?" Greg said, "How long until he's home?"

"Three weeks," Ryan said dully as Drew entered the room looking nervous.

"Ok guys, there's been a change of plan," he said carefully. "Jeff can't make it tonight so I've had to get someone new in to take his place."

"What the hell Drew," Ryan shouted, his temper flaring instantly. "Why the fuck weren't we consulted about this? You can't just drop someone new and inexperienced into the mix at the last minute."

"I wouldn't say I'm inexperienced," a familiar voice said from the doorway. Ryan's head whipped round and his eyes widened.

"Col?" he whispered, tears stinging his eyes.

"Surprise," Colin said with a smile.

Ryan was out of his chair and across the room in an instant, tackling the older man in a fierce hug as everyone else grinned at each other. Colin smiled, his arms coming up to rub Ryan's back, as Ryan held on tightly to him, nuzzling his neck and breathing in his scent.  After a minute Ryan lifted his head and stared at Colin, trying to assure himself that he wasn't dreaming, before pulling him in for a kiss. As soon as their lips touched Ryan felt all of his sadness disappear instantly and knew that he could never survive without Colin, needing him like he needed oxygen.

"How?" Ryan croaked as he pulled back, looking confused, "I was just talking to you....I thought you were in Ohio."

"Greg called me," Colin explained and Ryan glanced over his shoulder to look at Greg, who shrugged, before turning back to Colin.

"Why didn't you tell me you were so unhappy?" Colin asked softly, gazing up into Ryan's green eyes.

"I wasn't," Ryan replied unconvincingly.

Drew and Chip both snorted and Greg coughed something that sounded a lot like "Bullshit." Ryan glared at him.

"Ok, maybe I've been a bit down," Ryan admitted, "but I didn't want to worry you and ruin your tour."

Colin sighed and shook his head before reaching up to cup Ryan's face gently in both hands.

"Ryan you are, and always will be, my first priority. Everything else just doesn't matter."

"What about your show?" Ryan asked in a small voice.

Colin shrugged, looping his arms around Ryan's neck. "After Greg rang me and told me how you were really feeling, I went to see Brad to explain the situation. He completely understood and, with a few phone calls, we arranged to reschedule the rest of the tour for later this year."

Ryan's face lit up. "You'd do that for me?" Ryan asked softly.

"Of course I would," Colin replied smiling, "I love you."

"I love you too," Ryan whispered before dipping his head to capture Colin's lips again in a passionate kiss.

"Hey you two," Greg called loudly, "no making out in front of us please."

Ryan and Colin broke apart with a grin and Ryan turned to Drew.

"How long until the rehearsal starts?" he asked.

Drew looked at his watch. "Ten minutes," he replied.

Ryan grabbed Colin's hand. "We'll be in my dressing room," he announced, pulling a grinning Colin out of the room and down the hall.

Greg shook his head. "At least now we've got someone to play the woman tonight," he said chuckling.

The show that night was a massive success, the crowd going wild when Drew introduced Colin. With the dream team back together, everyone was on top of their game and the crowd loved it. Ryan's eyes danced with happiness as he played around with Colin like old times, trying not to laugh at his antics. He knew that this was where he belonged.....by Colin's side.
