The End
A/N: This is just a short drabble about Seth's return. I don't own the characters, I just like to play with them. Warning: This is slash, if you don't approve or don't like slash, don't read it.
This was not how Seth expected it to end. He thought he would show up at Ryan's house and face the angry brooding boy, sob his apology, and hopefully be forgiven. Then he would be allowed to drive to Chino on the weekends, he and Ryan would play video games and Theresa would show him how to change diapers or burp the baby.
He did not expect Ryan's pale blue eyes to look so old and defeated or for them to fill with tears. He did not expect Ryan's hands to feel callused and rough scraping the skin on his lower back as he was pulled into a tight, hard hug and pushed into the house and down the hallway to a bedroom. Once there Ryan just looked at him, short blasts of shuddering breaths escaping from his lips. Seth surprised them both by reaching out and cupping Ryan's chin, tilting his head upwards, and capturing the cracked lips between his own before plunging his tongue inside Ryan's mouth. Ryan responded by roughly pushing Seth back onto the bed, his hands quickly removing their clothing until he was lying prone against Seth's naked form. Joined at the mouth, both of them panting and thrusting until Seth groaned Ryan's name and came with a jerk that pushed Ryan over the edge.
It was after that, when his head was lying on Ryan's shoulder and they were both sticky with sweat and semen that Seth began to sob his apology. And while he knew that he would be forgiven, he didn't expect the hands that had been so rough and wild just a short time ago to softly caress his face as Ryan whispered soothingly until they both fell asleep, limbs tangled together.
He didn't expect to wake up to see Theresa standing at the foot of the bed looking lost and forlorn. He turned to Ryan and watched as fear, pain, despair, and a dozen other expression flitted across his face as he tried to untangle himself from Seth. Theresa merely pushed him back onto the bed and sat beside them, gently brushing Ryan's hair out of his eyes. She kissed his forehead and told Seth to take him home, to take care of him, to make him happy, then she left.
No, this was definitely not how Seth expected this to end.
