Re: Ryan/Greg #2- Nevada Isn't That Far Away, Either
Whew I did it here's part 4.
The coffee shop date long forgotten, Ryan and Greg headed back to Ryan’s apartment to order take out and enjoy a more private venue. With the menus spread out across the coffee table it was a matter of seconds before Chinese was the chosen food, both sets of hands on one paper was quite the subtle hint. When the phone call was made, Ryan went back to his seat on the couch next to Greg where he was met with a slightly uncomfortable silence.
Greg was biting his fingernail when Ryan returned, having lost some of the confidence he had at the gun range, perhaps it was the non neutral place or the fact that he had a slight crush on the man to his right. Greg knew he was different when he couldn’t totally fall in love with any of the girls he had dated, even if they were together for years. He always knew there was something different about him and Ryan seemed to fit into the empty place.
Ryan could tell Greg was a bit uneasy and he was feeling the same way. He was attracted to the other man but couldn’t figure out why, he never had feelings for another guy before. But there was something special about Greg that pulled Ryan in and caused him to stare at the older man. The only sound that broke the silence was the phone to let them know that the delivery person had arrived with the food. Greg wordlessly handed over his share and Ryan made his way to the door, paid, and thanked the person. He returned back to the coffee table with the bags.
“Point me in the right direction for plates and such.” Greg said a bit on the softer side, he wanted help not just sit there and look like a lump on the couch.
“Plates are in the cabinet over the coffee maker and the forks are in the drawer left of the sink.” Ryan responded as he pulled a plastic table cloth from the closet next to the front door.
It looked like a mini picnic when they were finished dressing the coffee table. Ryan spread the food out around the plates and Greg placed the sodas off to the side just incase they got a bit rambunctious and needed some room.
“I can’t help but think how different this vacation would have been if I didn’t get up the courage to message you the other night.” Greg commented in between bites of noodles.
“How so?” Ryan has a quizzical look on his face as Greg continued to chew and think.
“Well I wouldn’t have been forced to get out of bed and try to find something that keep my mind occupied until the afternoon. Then by some sort of luck you’re in the one place that I choose to go to.” Greg slyly smiled at Ryan, who almost chocked on his soda when he made eye contact with the other man.
Greg had been staring at Ryan the entire time they had been eating, it was a wonder any of the food and beverage had made it into his mouth and not all over his shirt. There was quite the magnetic attraction between them, though neither man would be bold enough to admit that. Ryan had felt the eyes upon him and was scared to look up, but when he did there were the eyes that he couldn’t move from, not that he really wanted to.
“I think it was lucky that my other job fell through. I would have had to wait longer to find someone as interesting as you to share my time with.” Ryan answered softly as he slowly moved the plates, food, and silverware that was placed in front of them to either side of the coffee table.
Ryan leaned across his side of the table while Greg leaned over the other, finally meeting in the middle. Ryan’s hand was on Greg’s cheek pulling him closer until their lips finally met and each man felt an electric charge shoot through their bodies. Neither man wanted to pull away but oxygen was greatly needed.
They had separated from the kissing for a bit and cleaned up the mess on the table, even pausing to do the dishes together. Little touches here and there were the unspoken topic of the afternoon. Ryan would lightly graze down Greg’s arm with a finger and Greg would respond with a kiss to the other man’s neck. When the touching had finally reach it’s peak, Greg made the next move and pulled Ryan down to him, sparks started to flow again.
