For the first time in a long while, Chad was generally happy to get up. He felt a small hand on his chest and smiled. He looked down at the blonde who had his eyes closed and a smile on his face, still sleeping. Images of the previous night flashed through his mind.

He hovered over the other, their lips locked in a heated kiss. Chad trailed his hands down Ryan's side, his fingers ghosting over the soft skin. Ryan mewled at the delicate touches. He looked Chad in the eyes. They stayed like that, just staring at each other, for the longest time until Chad broke the silence.

"You ready?" his voice wasn't the least bit harsh or pressing but gentle and understanding.

Ryan nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready."

Chad grinned tracing along Ryan's jaw with his fingers causing him to stir. Ryan woke up, yawning and sat up against the pillows.

"Morning," he greeted, leaning in for a chaste kiss. Chad happily complied and kissed him quickly.

"Morning," he countered, stretching his arms over his head. He settled his arm around Ryan's shoulder, bringing him closer. Seriousness suddenly took over his expression. "What happened last night...are you okay with it?"

Ryan held back a chuckle, "Of course I am. I was the one who started it."

"Well, I'm glad," Chad replied. "Cause it was amazing."

Ryan blushed, trying frantically to change the subject, "I got you something for Valentine's Day."

"What, going to bed and waking up with you isn't enough?" Chad questioned, amused.

"Nope," Ryan shook his head. "But you have to wait until after the basketball game tonight."

"You little tease," Chad joked, watching intently as Ryan stood, pulling on his briefs.

"That's not what you were saying last night. Or more like moaning actually. It sounded kind of like," Ryan then proceeded to reenact the previous night's cries of passion. Before a single sound could leave his throat, though, Chad's hand was over his mouth while his arm was wrapped around his waist.

Struggling, he tried to wiggle out of Chad's grip. He shrieked with laughter as he felt Chad's fingers running down his stomach and his hot breath against his ear. "Well," the laughter faded as both teens calmed down, "I'd better be heading home. School's in an hour and I can't wear the same clothes again."

"Shower here and wear my clothes," Chad suggested instantly.

"Because that wouldn't start any rumors," Ryan reasoned, sarcastically.

"So what?" Chad exclaimed. "Let them think whatever they want. I'm going to set them straight soon anyways."

"One, bad pun there. Two, you've only said that how many times? And three, I don't think that's the best way," Ryan listed, pulling on his discarded clothes. "I'll see you at school, kay?"

"Fine," he sighed pulling on a shirt and his boxers so he could walk Ryan out. "I don't need you, I can take a shower all by myself!"

Ryan gasped, "Well aren't we a big boy?"

"You weren't complaining about that last night," Chad commented, stealing Ryan's earlier strategy. "In fact it sounded kinda like this..." the brunette didn't make a single noise as he saw his boyfriend glaring at him.

They both burst into uncontrollable laughter but otherwise stayed silent until they were downstairs. As they walked into the living room, they slowed. The sight before them was truly shocking.

Chad saw his mom sitting on the couch a hand over her mouth. She looked about ready to cry. A man knelt in front of her holding out his hand. In his hand, Chad could see a small blue box. "Will you marry me?"

He heard his mom gasp.

"What?" he cried out, not sounding particularly ecstatic about the news.

"Yes!" his mom declared excitedly. "Yes, I will!"

Chad watched through disgusted eyes as they hugged and kissed.

"We can get married this year and move to my house up state," the man said.

There was an awkward silence where no one dared to speak. His mom and her boyfriend were too involved with themselves to notice the hurt expression on his face. Ryan noticed though and tried to grab his hand but Chad wouldn't let him.

Instead, he walked Ryan to the door and kissed him on the lips passionately, knowing that his mom and the other man wouldn't take any notice. When they pulled away, Chad attempted to put on a happy smile. Seeing this, Ryan caressed his cheek kissing him once more.

"I'll see you at school," he muttered, closing the door. The second the door closed, Chad let all his built up anger free.

"No!" he screamed. "No way in fucking hell I am moving!"

"Language young man!" his mom demanded. "Besides honey, it's just an option."

"Yeah, an option we're not going to consider," he corrected. "How could you be so selfish?"

"Chad, that's not fair," his mom's boyfriend tried. "You're mom's getting married, you should be happy for her."

"Listen asshole! We were doing just fine without you and now, you prance into my life unaware that you could possibly ruin it!"

"Chad Michael Danforth! You will not speak that way him or anyone for that matter!"

Chad held his tongue figuring it was better to just leave the situation alone. He didn't want to get in any more trouble than he already was. But he knew as he dragged himself upstairs to shower that it was going to be the worst Valentine's Day ever, with or without Ryan.

Ryan pulled up to his house, turning off and getting out of his house. As quietly as possible, he opened the front door and snuck in. His sneaky entrance, however, was ruined when he hear the perky voice of his mom. "Ducky! My dashing boy, you never came home last night."

"I told Sharpay to tell you that I was staying the night at Chad's house," he said quietly a blush spreading over his cheeks.

Sharpay walked by in her robe, holding her wardrobe choices for the day. "Whoops," she gasped, faking her guilt and not putting much effort into it at all. "Must've slipped my mind."

"Well did you two have intercourse?" his mom asked, discreetly.

"Mom!" he groaned, embarrassed to discuss such things with his mother.

"I just want to know if you're being safe, Hon," she continued.

"Yes, mom, we were safe," Ryan answered. Just then, his dad came into the room, kissing his wife on the cheek.

"Morning my beautiful family."

They all shared their greetings and once that was over, Ryan dismissed himself to go take a shower and get ready for school. It was going to be a good day, he could tell.

He had Chad, the perfect present for Chad and the promise that Chad would come out today. It was going to be the perfect Valentine's Day. No, it was going to be the greatest day period. And he couldn't wait.

Troy woke up feeling refreshed and just generally happy. It was Valentine's Day, his first with Gabriella. He'd nearly had a panic attack weeks earlier when he couldn't think of what to get his girlfriend for the usually feared holiday of love.

But after multiple interrogations and numerous shopping trips, he found the perfect gift and he couldn't be any prouder. He nearly jumped out of bed and dressed with much haste, grabbing his backpack and the small wrapped box on his dresser.

Checking himself out in the mirror quickly, he ran downstairs and into the living room where he saw his parents holding each other tightly. He watched as they kissed. "I love you Hon," he heard his father whisper.

"I love you too Dear," his mother returned, kissing him one more time.

"You know, you have a room, upstairs," Troy informed them, teasingly. "You should use it sometime, instead of in the living room where it's in plain sight."

"Morning, Troy," she chuckled, pulling apart from her husband's embrace. "I made breakfast."

"Sorry, can't eat. Gotta go pick up Chad," Troy said, walking towards the door. "I'll see you guys after school.

"The big game's tonight son!" his dad reminded him as he opened the door.

"I know, it's going to be awesome!"

7:00 am. Chad heard Troy's truck pulling into his driveway. His friend honked the horn a few times, signaling he was in a hurry. He grabbed his backpack and headed out. He didn't say anything to either two adults in the living room. His mom tried to wish him a good day but he just ignored her.

He slammed the door on the way out and instantly saw Troy's face fill with concern. He got in the truck and slammed that door as well. Troy backed out of the driveway and drove off down the street. Chad sighed, relieved. Maybe Troy was just going to leave it alone...

"So what's up with you man?"

Or not..."My mom's boyfriend proposed," Chad mumbled.

"That's great!" Troy exclaimed, only to have Chad glaring at him. "Or not..."

"It sucks dude," Chad pointed out. "He wants us to move up state with him."

"Hey, I'm sure it'll be okay," the brunet tried to comfort his friend. "It could be worse."

Chad scoffed. "Hardly."

"You know," Troy began. "We have our big game tonight. Take all your frustrations out on North High. We're going to kick their asses!"

This was oddly helpful and he found himself cheering excitedly. "You betcha we are! It's going to be the best night ever!"

It was another five minutes before they pulled into the school parking lot. Troy parked his truck in his designated spot and both boys got out of the vehicle hurriedly. Chad followed Troy to Gabriella where they found the girl putting books into her locket.

"Miss Montez," he said, charmingly. "Do not fear for I have arrived."

Chad rolled his eyes at his friend's nearly conceited behavior. Gabriella giggled. "That's good, I was starting to worry."

The exchange between the two made him long for Ryan but he knew the blonde probably wasn't there yet. He never showed up before seven thirty. He always showed up about ten minutes before they had to be in homeroom.

He waited, watching his friends' loving display of affection. Troy handed his girlfriend a small box. "Happy Valentine's Day, Gabs."

Gabriella smiled, "Aww, that's so sweet." She opened the box and saw the necklace with a T shaped pendant. Troy took the silver necklace and stepped behind her, pushing her hair aside. He draped the necklace around the front of her neck and hooked it in the back.

She turned around, looking down at it. "It looks even better than I thought it would," Troy said her, kissing her on the cheek. She threw her arms around his neck, pulling him into a hug.

Suddenly, Chad felt more weight against the lockers and looked back to his Ryan behind him. He had to resist the urge to kiss the blonde right there. "Watcha doin?"

"Trying to not to puke at the overly lovey situation," Chad answered, smiling now that he was with Ryan. The blue eyed teen always seemed to brighten his gloomy days.

"Oh come on," Ryan sighed, reaching out to touch the other's arm. "It's not that bad. Maybe you're just jealous."

"If only," Chad threatened playfully, leaving the rest to Ryan's imagination.

"Well doesn't that just suck for you then," Ryan replied with a smirk.

"Speaking of sucking..."

Before Chad could finish his sentence, he heard the voice of his friend calling to him. "If you two lovebirds are done, we're heading to homeroom."

"Cute Troy," Chad said, annoyed.

"Aww...baby," Ryan cooed, jokingly or not so jokingly if they actually knew what was going on behind closed door. "He's just jealous of what we have."

"C'mon," Troy beckoned, taking his girlfriend's hand. Chad wanted so desperately to do the same. He felt Ryan's hand on his arm, urging him to follow after. They walked side by side to homeroom, where they sat next to each other, as always, and the bell rang.

Hardly ten minutes in, some unknown kid walked into the room holding a bouquet of multiple roses. Seeing Ryan's reaction was enough for Chad. Ryan blushed, looking at the note. It said:

"Coral for desire. Pink for admiration and happiness. Tea roses for my undying love. And last but not least, red for love and passion and everything I feel for you. Happy Valentine's Day. From you know who."

As class recovered from the disruption, Ryan looked at Chad smiling. "I love you too," he mouthed.

Chad reconsidered. Maybe today wouldn't be so bad after all.

And there's the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed it and maybe review and let me know. Hope the fluff hasn't killed you because it practically murdered me.

Beta note!: Hi! This chapter is so cute! It makes a wonderful first chapter too! This author changed her name so I can't call her squirelly anymore… I guess I just have to call her chipmunky! … nono… that doesn't work… I'll think of something…
