A/N: thanks for reviews, and dirtyprettything, i updated for you. that means you owe me an update. and everyone reading this should read Comfortably Numb. it's an awesome story and needs reviews. thanks!
Seth had lost all logic, all reason. There was nothing to stop him from leaving himself, until all that remained was the hollow core of what used to be. Seth Cohen was nowhere to be found.
Ryan hadn't seen Seth in two weeks, three days, 5 hours. He barely even saw the hollow body anymore, he was just always Gone.
He didn't know where, and Ryan thinks he doesn't want to know. He just wants Seth back.
He regrets not realizing how much effort Seth put into their friendship. He regrets not appreciating his constant unwavering dedication to Seth/Ryan time. Ryan regrets not realizing how close Seth was to disappearing altogether.
He was never much for talking.
And for once, Ryan's the one doing the chasing.
Running away, it's very Seth Cohen.
Sometimes Ryan wished Seth would just run away. Then maybe he'd know there was still the ghost of that sarcastic, optimistic teenage boy inside.
Ryan doesn't see Seth in school anymore, and he's not sure if that's because he never stays, or he's just invisible now.
Ryan's not sure which is worse.
And when all these thoughts jumble up together in his head he thinks, maybe they're more like brothers than he thought.
And maybe Seth had a little more Atwood blood in him than Ryan suspected.
A/N: I know it's short, but I'll hopefully have more soon, and most likely from Seth's POV. love!
