(The following was taken from Live Play. Again many many many thanks to Ryan-mun! <3 ya! :D Many apologies for any formatting and spelling errors I was in a hurry.)
Ryan Garabedian: Ryan ran until he could run no more. His lungs felt like they were going to burst right out of his chest and his heart thudded loudly. When he finally stopped, he found himself on the outskirts of the
Market. The buzz of the place was like cicadas and the scent of some roasting meats made him feel queasy. And still that was going through his mind were David's last words. "He's sleeping in my room."
David Huntington: *Ryan could run all he wanted to. David was perfectly fine with strolling at an easy pace with his hands shoved into his pockets. Whistling a tune which faded as soon as he caught up to Ryan.* Nice
burst of speed there. Now, you want to know what bothers me? Not the fact that he kissed you. Naw bro I've come to terms with that. What bothers me is the fact that you kissed him back. Ya didn't push him away ya gave in. And you didn't tell me for about a month. I know that I flirt with everything that breathes with corny pick up lines but doesn't mean I'm gonna sleep with 'em. You know why? Do you really wanna know why? Because my heart, body, and soul belong to you. I would never ever ever do something like that. I mean, why did you do it? Do you not love me anymore? Am I not attractive enough? Did I do something wrong? Tell me what the malfunction is here and how we can fix it! *By
the time he was done with his questions tears were rolling down his face.*
Ryan Garabedian: Ryan hadn't expected for David to find him, much less catch up. He was winded, and bent at the waist, hands on his knees to catch his breath. And then the lecture came. It was inevitable, but Ryan
was hardly in the mood for drunken ravings. "David, please," he stood up, and attempted to slow his own breathing down. "I don't know why it happened, David. But to stand there and lie to me," he shook his head, put his hands upon his hips and turned away. He couldn't look at David right now. "How can you be such a hypocrite? I kissed a man. Kissed. You've got a guy already sleeping in your bed? And I'm the bad guy here?"
David Huntington: *Bitter laughter escaped his lips to what Ryan said.* So you assume because I have a giant f*cking cat creature sleeping in my room that I'm buggering him!? Come on! You know me better than that I don't go outside of my species. *Shaking his head.* I was in the Market and there he was spat out by the Nexus. So yeah, I gave him food, clothes, and a place to sleep. Because help others, right? Now please,
answer my questions. *Crossing his arms to peer at Ryan intently.*
Ryan Garabedian: The anger left him, of course David was always doing the right thing. Taking a step back, Ryan leaned against a guardrail, nearly sitting upon it. "I don't know why." He'd done a lot of soul searching and couldn't come up with an answer. "I'd be a hypocrite and say there was something wrong with you when I fell in love with you, just the way you are. It has to be me. Maybe I'm just not as nice a guy as everybody thought."
David Huntington: *Sighing as he suddenly felt very tired he moved to sit on the guardrail next to him. Nodding to his words as he glanced into the night.* It's funny when things like this happen the one who didn't cheat always thinks that there's something they're doing wrong but usually that isn't the case. *Shrugging then as he kicked at some rocks.* If I'm not doing anything wrong then maybe you're right. Maybe it is you. And
maybe we just need to part ways while you can figure things out. Like I said you've lost all of my trust and despite that for some reason I still have feelings for you. *Chuckling as he shook his head and smiled sadly.* And maybe I'm a fool because of it.
Ryan Garabedian: "You didn't do anything wrong," he reiterated. When David sat beside him, Ryan reached up and curled his arm around David's shoulders. "I just screwed up," he sighed. "I don't know how to fix it,
Davey. I want to, but even if we get over this, how can you trust me? How can I trust me? I just don't know." He sighed heavily then. "Only thing I do know is that I miss you."
David Huntington: *When he was touched he almost leaned against Ryan but instead stiffened and stayed where he was.* Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me, right? *Shaking his head.* I don't
know if I want to be around for the second time. Logically my brain is screaming at me to just forget it and leave. To guard myself from getting hurt again by you. I honestly don't want to take the risk. But my heart?
*Shrugging as he gave a boyish smile.* That's a different story so I don't know either
Ryan Garabedian: When David stiffened, Ryan gave him an apologetic look and brought his hands back down in front of himself. "I won't do it again, Davey. I sent him away because it was the wrong thing to do. I just
don't want to hurt you, I didn't want to hurt you. But we'd been apart more than together and I couldn't bring myself to tell you. And now it's worse. Just tell me what I have to do, Davey. I want to make things right again."
David Huntington: You say you won't do it again. But say I take your word for it and it does happen again, then what? Then, I'm the fool and the stupid one for falling for it. I can ask you to do it again. I'm not gonna tell you to not do it again. *Rubbing the back of his neck he hated debates.* Like I said a big part of me wants to play it safe and walk away and not take the risk of letting this happen again. Some would call it giving up or that I'm a coward. I guess I really am. I mean you shattered my heart to pieces I feel like no amount of duct tape is gonna fix that.
Ryan Garabedian: Ryan's shoulders sagged in defeat. "I guess there is no fixing it then. You've got to do what your heart tells you to do." Ryan began picking at the skin on the side of his thumb. "I'm sorry I hurt you,
Davey. I really am." His voice was deep and husky, full of emotion. "But please, don't turn into your sister. It killed me to see you in there, drinking. It's not you."
David Huntington: *Swallowing down the tears that threatened to show themselves he climbs to his feet.* I know you're sorry and I'm sorry that I can't find it in myself to keep us going. *Rolling his neck and popping it
he shrugged then.* I think it'd take a lot more booze to turn into her. *Managing a chuckle.* Don't worry I won't let that happen.
Ryan Garabedian: Ryan shook his head and pushed off of the guardrail. He couldn't think of anything to say and he definitely didn't feel like chuckling. Shuffling around until he stood before David, he took a deep breath. "What about the school?"
David Huntington: If you still need help with it I don't mind. I like the kiddos. *Reaching into his pocket to pull out the business card for the tattoo shop he handed it to Ryan just in case he didn't have the contact
information.* A few people at the shop would like to volunteer as well their information is on there. *Now sighing as he peered into the night before looking back to him.* But you may want to find a permanent
replacement for me.
Ryan Garabedian: "Davey," Ryan took the card and frowned sadly. "Don't do this. Don't stop teaching. Just because we're not sleeping together anymore doesn't mean you have to give up on doing something I know you love doing." Looking down at the card, he shook his head. "Unless this is more important to you." And in that moment, Ryan realized just what had went wrong. They were two very different people.
David Huntington: *Shrugging then.* As much as I love teaching I like being in the shop more. I'll miss the kiddos but I'm sure they'll be fine. *Different indeed he held out a hand to Ryan.* It was a pleasure meeting
and getting to know you. You're an amazing piano player. Don't give up on your dreams and strive to be the best piano player in Rhy'Din.
Ryan Garabedian: Ryan stared down at the offered hand. He frowned and then brought his gaze up to meet David's eyes. "Oh hell no," he didn't think, just acted. He stepped forward in a rush and lowered his head to
attempt to kiss the mouth of the man who he had hurt so badly and missed so sorely. It couldn't, wouldn't end with a cold handshake. No way in hell.
David Huntington: *Suddenly Ryan filled his vision. The piano player's lips on his own. Forest hues fluttering shut as his head tilted. Tears falling forth from closed eyes. Tenderly he kissed him back. After a few
moments he pulled away. Breathless his eyes slowly opening. Wiping away the tears and giving a sad smile.* Adios Ryan. *Turning on his heel to walk away tossing a wave over his shoulder. Once more whistling
a tune.*
Ryan Garabedian: Ryan pulled back when David did and he stared down, holding his breath. Only when he began to walk away did David feel like he could breathe again. "Goodbye, Davey," he sighed and watched as
he walked away. He watched for a few moments before turning and walking in the opposite direction. He held his emotions in until he reached the apartment that they shared. Then, and only then, did he allow the tears flow as he mourned the relationship that he had single handedly murdered.
Ryan Garabedian: Ryan ran until he could run no more. His lungs felt like they were going to burst right out of his chest and his heart thudded loudly. When he finally stopped, he found himself on the outskirts of the
Market. The buzz of the place was like cicadas and the scent of some roasting meats made him feel queasy. And still that was going through his mind were David's last words. "He's sleeping in my room."
