I know I havent up dated in aaaaages and I am very very sorry, but I have been soooo busy with university and perfomances and exams that I havent had the time to write anything other than essays and logbooks. But I am on holidays now and have finaly finished this story, I feel that it has run its course and I can continue with it no longer. However I have several ideas for some one shot stories over my holidays which I intend to start soon after a well deserved break. You have all probably lost interest in this story now (I know I have), but I really hope to have more up soon. Any way, here it is the final chapter of my first fanfic, Beneath The Stars.


Chapter 8

After drying themselves off after their little escapade in the shower, Ryan and Troy chose clean and comfortable outfits to wear from Ryan's vast wardrobe, apparently they had splashed more water around than they were aware of and Troy's clothes which had been left on the floor were soaked through.

"Here" Ryan said chucking Troy a tight grey t-shirt and pair of baggy navy sweat pants, "these should do, the party sounds likes its quietening down now so there no need to dress up again" he commented as he finished selecting a tight white t-shirt and grey sweat pants for himself.

"Thanks Ry" Troy smiled appreciatively as he put on the sweat pants.

"It's the least I could do for my wonderful boy friend" Ryan grinned pulling on his t-shirt. "Right lets go back to this party then shall we?"

Troy nodded and they both left the blonde boy's bedroom, Ryan grabbed a grey knitted beanie with a peak as he left.

Outside, the party had really quietened down as most people had retired into their tents. There was still music playing gently in the background although no one was dancing, a few people were sitting chatting quietly on the terrace. The two boys walked over to the disarray which was the bar table and poured themselves two large glasses of ice water and walked to the terrace wall and conveyed the garden as they sipped their drinks. They stood in silence for awhile enjoying the cool night air and the refreshing taste of water on their lips, thinking over the day's events. Things had moved at such a dramatic pace in one single night for the two boys and they were both rolling things over in their heads. After awhile Troy rested his drink on the wall and took a deep breath and turned to Ryan.

"Tonight has been amazing" he said smiling, Ryan nodded as he sipped his water. "I can't believe how quickly things have happened between us."

"I know" agreed Ryan "we have Gabriella to thank for that, she has been fantastic"

"Yeh I know she really has" Troy smiled "however there are some things I feel like I should discuss with you before we rush into things even more" Troy said apprehensively.

Ryan looked worried and shifted uneasily, "like what?" he asked.

"I love you and I have done for along time please don't doubt that" said Troy noticing the concern on his boyfriends face "however, I have never had a relationship this serious before, let alone with a guy and I have yet to come out to my parents" he said.

"I understand" the blonde responded, "I told my parents when I came out to Sharpay, they weren't too shocked to be honest" he chuckled "although I can understand your worries."

"Its not that I don't think they won't understand, I'm sure they will, I just don't want to give them more to deal with than necessary in one go." Troy continued "Things between us happened very quickly tonight, and I am not saying I didn't enjoy it because you know I did, I just feel that we should slow things down from now on in. Do you understand?" He looked into Ryan's eyes willing that he could see the love in them.

Ryan smiled, "I totally understand, I was thinking similar things myself."

"That is such a relief" Troy sighed "There was so much that I wanted to do with you to show that you mean so much to me. I had planned things in my head for months like going to the cinema, a trip to the zoo, buying you random gifts, going to dinner, introducing you to my parents, I just lacked the courage to tell you. I love you Ryan Evans and I promise that I will do things properly and I haven't even taken you on our first date yet."

The two boys looked in to each others eyes, neither could be any happier than they where at this moment in time, Ryan leaned in a planted a small chaste kiss on Troy's lips, "You are amazing" he whispered slipping his hand into Troy's "and it is my promise to you Troy Bolton beneath these stars, that I will and always will be yours. I will take things as slow as you like, just knowing that I have you in my life make me happier than I could imagine." They kissed again, but along deep kiss that said everything left to say before they parted and walked down the steps towards the tent hand in hand. It had been along day, both boys where exhausted and in need of sleep and rest. Tomorrow will be a new day and with it will come the adventures and trials that new love brings, but for now they both had each other and nothing else in the world mattered.
