So recently I've become a Rosslington shipper! You can blame XFeelXTheXLoveX for that one. Not that I'm complaining! I have one more thing to fangirl about! :) So thank you XFeelXTheXLoveX :D But I don't ship Rosslington the way I ship Raura and Rydellington though. I'm just picturing all of my friends' reactions if they ever found out what I do in my spare time... Only like 1 maybe 2 of my friends have seen me full on fangirl about Austin &Ally/Auslly/Raura/R5 though.. None of my friends at my theater group really like Disney Channel or R5.. So that's why the world invented the amazing thing called the internet, so you can talk to people all over the world about how you go crazy for the same OTP ships.. Lmfao! So enough blabbering on.. Here's the story! :)
Ratliff was peacefully asleep in his bed. His tired mind had slowly began to dream. He saw himself sitting alone on the balcony outside of his bedroom. He was crushed. He felt like his life was over and nothing anyone could say or do could change anything. It was pouring outside and Ratliff didn't care if he got hypothermia and died from staying out there.
He then heard the sound of the door opening behind him and someone stepping outside. He didn't want to look back. He then heard the sound of the door shutting. He knew that this mystery person wasn't gone but didn't want to look back to confirm it.
"Look, Ratliff, I know you're mad." The mystery person said. "More than mad, Ross!" Ratliff snapped. Ross sighed. "I'm sorry.." Ross said softly. Ratliff stood up and turned to look Ross in the eye. "And you really think that sorry is going to cut it this time?!" Ratliff yelled. Ross held his head down in shame. "Not only did I admit to you that I had feelings for you, but then you flipped out by saying it's wrong for a man to love another man, and if that wasn't enough, you make me feel like shit by kissing Maia Mitchel in front of me!" Ratliff screamed.
Ross sighed of guilt before turning to leave. Ratliff sighed and turned back around before sitting back down on the bench and going back to feeling miserable. Ross silently turned around and looked at Ratliff. Ross felt so broken knowing that he caused Ratliff's pain. He then marched over to Ratliff and made Ratliff face him. Ross went down on one knee and then passionately kissed Ratliff on the lips.
Ratliff was totally taken back but soon melted into the kiss. He wrapped his arms around Ross's neck as he stood them both up.
Ratliff jolted awake and gasped. He couldn't believe what he just dreamed about. He glanced over at his alarm clock. 3:45 AM. He sighed, knowing he was only asleep for about 45 minutes and had to be up in 2 hours to get ready to go down to the Austin & Ally set to see the live-taping of the season 3 premiere. He laid back down and rolled over, in hope that sleep would return to him.
It's been two hours since Ratliff had woken up from his dream about Ross. Did he manage to go back to sleep? Nope. He was currently laying flat on his back in his bed and staring at the ceiling. He was exhausted but every time he'd try to find sleep, his body wouldn't let him. What does that dream mean? Ratliff kept thinking over and over to himself.
His thoughts were interrupted by his alarm clock beginning to blare the radio. He jolted up and gasped of fear. Once he saw that it was his alarm clock, he clutched his chest and sighed of relief. He shut the alarm clock off and let out a yawn. God is he going to be tired down at the set today. He managed to drag himself out of bed and to his closet to get some clean clothes. After he found some, he went to his dresser and took out a pair of boxers and a pair of socks.
He managed to drag himself out of his bedroom and to the bathroom door. It was closed so he assumed someone was in there. Just to be sure, he knocked on the door. "I'm in here." Ratliff's father said. "Sorry, I'll wait." Ratliff said before leaning against the wall and waiting.
Ratliff's father came out of the bathroom to find his son leaning against the wall half-asleep. "Ratliff!" Ratliff's dad said loudly to wake him up. Ratliff jolted up. "Yeah dad?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes and yawned. "You okay? You were dozing off." Ratliff's father said. "I'm fine." Ratliff mumbled. "Okay." Ratliff's father said before walking downstairs. Ratliff stumbled into the bathroom, undressed himself and stepped into the nice cold shower.
Ross's eyes slowly fluttered open. He was facing his window and he saw the beautiful sunrise outside. But something dawned on him. The sun is never this bright when he usually wakes up for Austin & Ally. He looked over at his alarm clock to see the numbers on the clock blinking and the time says it's 1:43 AM. He unlocked his phone to reveal the real time.
6:00 AM.
"Shit! I'm late!" Ross yelled. He basically sprung out of bed and changed into whatever clothes he could get first. Luckily, his clothes matched. Ross sprinted to the bathroom and brushed his teeth as fast as he could. He was surprised his gums hadn't started bleeding from how hard he was brushing. He rinsed out his mouth and toothbrush before putting the toothbrush away. He then sprayed himself with cologne since he didn't have time to take a shower. He ran downstairs and took the first set of keys he could get his hands on since he's still waiting for his new car to be ready, which won't be ready until Monday after Austin & Ally rehearsals.
He quickly glanced at the key chains so he could see who's car he was about to borrow. He finally found the custom made key chain with the owner's name on it.
Rocky.
He quickly grabbed a pen and paper and wrote Rocky a note.
Dear Rocky, The power in my room went out in the middle of the night and I'm running late so I had to borrow your car. Sorry. I'll be careful with it. -Ross
Ross threw the pen on the counter before sprinting to Rocky's car. Thank God Rocky was the one who had to park in front of the driveway. He ran into the driver's seat and started the car. Once he heard the purr of the engine, he put it in drive and cruised down to the Austin & Ally set.
Ratliff stepped out of the bathroom with his dirty clothes, towel and face cloth in his hand. He carefully walked downstairs and threw the clothes into the dirty laundry pile. He slid on a pair of converse before taking his keys off of the key ring. "I'll be at the Austin & Ally studio." Ratliff called before leaving and driving to the set.
Ross burst through the doors of the set. He ran down to the "Sonic Boom" set where he knew the directors would be. "Sorry I'm late." Ross said out of breath. "It's okay. You weren't that late. Just go to your dressing room and get your first outfit on." The director said. Ross nodded before leaving for his dressing room.
Ratliff sleepily walked into set and got his visitor's pass. He walked down to Ross's dressing room figuring that's where he'll be. Normally, Ratliff would be polite and knock if the door was closed but Ratliff was so out of it. He put his hand on the knob and opened the dressing room door to reveal a shirtless Ross sliding a pair of jeans on. Ross heard the door open which caused him to scream of embarrassment and turn.
Ratliff's eyes widened and he jumped. He glanced at Ross's shirtless figure. His muscles were all he could see. He was mesmerized. Ratliff jolted back to reality. "S-sorry Ross.." Ratliff stuttered. "It's okay." Ross said before buttoning his pants. Ratliff awkwardly backed out of the room and shut the door behind him. He leaned against the door and sighed. His heart was beating a mile a second and his stomach was doing flips. He knew he needed to talk to someone.
Normally he'd talk to Ross about his problems but since this is about Ross, he figured it wasn't the best idea to talk to him about this one. He also ruled out the other Lynch's because they might catch on about who he was talking about and that was the last thing he needed. He then decided to ask Laura.
He walked to the door across from Ross's and decided to knock this time. It was one thing to walk in on Ross because they're both guys but it's another to walk in on a lady unless you were either in a serious relationship or married. Ratliff knocked on Laura's door. "Laur?" Ratliff asked. "Yes?" Laura asked through the other side. "Are you decent?" Ratliff asked. "Yes." Laura said. "Can I come in?" Ratliff asked. He heard silence. He was about to turn and walk away when he heard the door open. He turned to see Laura in the doorway. "Come on in." Laura greeted with a smile before stepping out of the way so that he could come in.
Ratliff smiled as he entered Laura's dressing room. Laura sat down on the love seat in her dressing room. "What's up?" Laura asked. Ratliff sighed before sitting next to her. Laura could feel Ratliff's nervousness. "Are you okay?" Laura asked. "Sorta.." Ratliff said nervously. "What's wrong?" Laura asked. Ratliff knew it was all or nothing here. He sighed. "Promise you won't tell anyone or judge?" Ratliff asked nervously. "I promise." Laura promised. "Okay.." Ratliff said nervously. He can't believe he's about to say this.
"I-I think I'm gay.." Ratliff admitted.
Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN! Leaving you off with a cliffhanger on the first chapter! I should get some kind of an award for that one! Jk.. Maybe.. :P ;)
How do you like it? Please review! And please no hate if you don't ship Rosslington or support gay relationships. Sorry I kinda rushed it on the first chapter. I was just sitting and then I had the sudden urge to do a Rosslington story. So I kinda winged it on this one.. Stay tuned for chapter 2! :)
