Fic: Hopes and Dreams (Part 4)

Ahoy hoy!

This is kinda out of the blue, so my apologies for that! I've been thinking about this story for a few weeks and it's been really annoying me that it's not finished so I thought it was time to get to finishing! So...

Title: Hopes and Dreams
Pairing: Ryan/Colin
Rating: R (mostly for language)
Summary: You never know what might come of a dream- One year after the fall
Word Count: 1553

Woo!


Ryan stood in front of his co-stars on stage. It was still early and the studio audience were yet to arrive, but Greg, Wayne, Colin and Drew were already there. He looked to Colin for support who nodded at him encouragingly.

“Guys, I have something to tell you.” He pause to bite his lip, almost hoping if he waited long enough they would guess what it was and he wouldn’t have to vocalise it.

“Well....?” Drew urged him impatiently.

“I should say; Colin and I have something to tell you.” He glanced around at the expectant faces of his co-workers, hoping it wouldn’t be the last time he would be able to look them in the eye. “We’re sleeping together.... and have been for the past year.”

The others continued to stare silently, Drew’s mouth was visibly hanging open and he was the first to speak. “Is that supposed to be a joke?”

Ryan was genuinely hurt by the remark and his face showed it more than he would have liked. “No...” he began, unable to finish.

Colin sensed his discomfort and stood up to join him. “It’s true guys. We thought it’s been going on for too long behind everyone’s back so we’ve decided to tell you all.”

Greg stood up and came towards the newly outed couple.
“Congratulations guys... I can’t say I’m completely surprised!” He exchanged handshakes with them both, “And hey, that means all the jokes we’ve been making are true!”

Colin laughed, “I know! It’s been pretty tough keeping it to ourselves all this time.”

Wayne expressed a similar sentiment and also shook their hands. Ryan however, was distracted by Drew who was still sitting behind his desk, silently staring into space. He went over to stand closer to him and leaned down to meet his gaze. “Drew... are you ok?”

Drew looked up as though he was seeing him for the first time. “No, not really.”

Ryan glanced nervously back at Colin who could only shrug.

“Do you realise how this is going to effect me?” His face softened slightly as he reached into his jacket pocket. “I owe Greg $6000.”

Ryan jumped as Greg appeared at his side. Drew took out a pen and wrote an IOU on the back of a Whose Line cue-card and handed it to Greg. Ryan couldn’t help but laugh, “You can’t be serious!”

“Oh yeah. And the bet doubled every year. I’m just glad you came out now and not three or four years from now!”

Ryan didn’t bother to hide his grin as he went to stand at Colin’s side. With a now eager audience they held hands and gave each other a quick peck as the backstage bell rang and they were ushered off set.

The bell quickly vanished and became a familiar, harsh alarm. Realising it was just his alarm clock Ryan reached over to silence it. He lay there for a moment taking in what was had just happened. It had been more than six months since he’d had one of ‘those’ dreams, but he hadn’t had one so vivid since the dream that started his brief affair with Colin over a year ago and just like the last time, it took him a while to separate the truth from the dream.

"Shouldn’t you be getting up?” The voice of his wife brought him back to reality.

He made it out of the house in record time, eager to escape his home but slightly anxious about going to the studio. The drive there felt unnaturally short so he waited in his car for as long as he felt he could without arousing suspicion. His normal morning routine involved stopping at the studio’s cafeteria for coffee before relaxing briefly in his dressing room, but he decided to skip the coffee this morning in favour of ducking out of sight as quickly as possible.

He practically tip toed along the corridor to his dressing room and slid through the door without running into anyone. He close the door and leaned against it for a few seconds as though someone was going to sneak in after him.

He had barely sat down on the couch when a knock came at the door. “Come on in” he called, partially because he couldn’t be bothered getting up again. He slightly regretted his laziness when the door opened to reveal Colin.

“Morning Ryan!” Colin said in his usual cheerful tone. “No coffee this morning?”

Ryan felt slightly taken aback by the normality with which he was being treated. “No, I was feeling lively enough this morning!” he said, a little too cheerfully.

“What’s wrong?” Colin asked.

Ryan didn’t bother trying to hide his surprise. “Damn, how do you do that Col?” He had realised a long time ago there was little point in trying to hide anything from Colin (and vice versa).

Colin just shrugged. “So what is it? Anything I can do to help?”

Ryan paused, unsure of what to say, “Probably not...” he weighed up the options and decided to tell Colin about his dream. “I had another one of those dreams.”

Colin’s face dropped. “Oh. I see.” He started to appear a little uncomfortable. “What about.”

Ryan sighed, “It was actually really nice. It was like we’d never broken up and we were... coming out to everyone.”

Colin echoed the sigh and sat down on the couch beside Ryan. “Listen Ry, I’m not sure I can go through this again... last time was-”

“Difficult, I know.” Ryan cut him off.

“I was actually going to say amazing... The point is, it took way too long to get over. Honestly I don’t think I am over it.”

“It was pretty amazing.”

“Yeah.”

Ryan put his hand on Colin’s arm. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring this up.”

Colin just shrugged. “It’s my own fault for being psychic!” He placed his hand under Ryan’s chin and pushed it up. He hesitantly moved his lips closer to the point where they were almost touching Ryan’s and exhaled.

The taste of Colin’s breath was too much to bear. Ryan closed the gap and kissed Colin hungrily, running his hand up and down his arm, taking in all he could. It had been over a year since they last kissed, but it still felt completely comfortable and familiar. It was like they had never parted ways in Colin’s hotel room all that time ago and Ryan couldn’t help wondering why they had separated at all. He moved his hands to a more comfortable position, resting on Colin’s leg as his friend pulled his head closer.

The passion Ryan was feeling for the first time in so long was interrupted when Colin pulled away and stood up.

“What is it?” Ryan asked nervously.

“Nothing, I just wanted to make sure we wouldn’t be disturbed.” Much to Ryan’s relief he locked the door and sat down again.

“I was worried you were having second thoughts.” Ryan said, a little embarrassed.

“Are you kidding? I haven’t stopped thinking about you since last time, you’re not getting away that easily!”

They kissed again, more lustfully than before. Colin manoeuvred himself onto his knees and pushed Ryan onto his back. He began massaging his groin with one hand and continued kissing him. Ryan’s pleasure was unmistakable, and he was soon bursting out of his trousers- worsened only by the feeling of Colin’s hardness against his leg.

A knock at the door brought them down to earth again. Ryan sighed, “Yes?”

Drew’s voice answered, “I brought you coffee, can I come in?”

"No...” Ryan began, but before he could continue Drew came through the supposedly locked door. He stopped and stared at the scene in front of him.

“Hmmm, I think I owe Greg $600.” he said, and laughed at his own joke. “What are you doing?”

Ryan was frozen in fear, but Colin was quick to answer. “Ryan hasn’t had his coffee. I had to stop him before the murderous rampage!”

Drew nodded, apparently convinced (He too shared the unspoken bond of play-fighting) and set the cup on the table. “I didn’t know you’d be here Colin or I’d have brought you one too.”

Colin smiled and waved off the suggestion. “See you later Drew.” he said, half waving as Drew left the room.

Colin smiled guiltily at Ryan. “Ok, I guess the door wasn’t locked after all.”

Ryan’s selective muteness wore off immediately. “Oh my god...”

“That was pretty close.”

“Pretty close? A few minutes later and I could’ve been fucking your brains out!”

Colin cleared his throat somewhat nervously. “Really?”

“Fucking yes! Fuck, what the fuck is he going to tell people?”

Colin rubbed his chest reassuringly, “Relax. He made a joke about it... he didn’t suspect anything!” Colin shifted back into a sitting position allowing Ryan to do the same. They sat side by side on the couch for a few minutes before either spoke again.

“This is so wrong.” Ryan announced at the same time as Colin said, “This is such a bad idea.”. They looked at each other, both feeling the sense of longing that they’d tried to hide for the past year.


MWAH!
