The couple didn't leave the locker room until first period was over. They walked down the hall hand in hand, Brendon not focusing too much on the stares they were getting.

Ryan led his boyfriend to his locker where they found an antsy looking Pete and calm Patrick waiting. Pete was the first to spot the pair, eyes widening. He refrained from running up to them to bombard them with questions.

He was, however, practically bouncing on the balls of his feet when Ryan and Brendon stopped in front of the locker. Pete's eyes switched between the two, down to their connect hands and back to their eyes. Patrick let out a small chuckle at the boy's behavior, not showing his own curiosity as much.

Brendon and Ryan exchanged a look, both smirking at how impatient Pete was. Pete was red in the face as if he were holding his breath until he got an answer.

"Well?!" He finally bursted out. Ryan smiled and let go of Brendon's hand. Brendon frowned and turned to the other. Ryan grabbed Brendon's cheeks and slammed their lips together before Brendon had even fully turned, catching everyone off guard. "Fucking finally!" Pete shouted.

The couple pulled apart, Brendon laughing softly with his cheeks glowing pink. Ryan had on a dopey smile, freely showing how happy he was. There were whispers going off around them which shouldn't have surprised Brendon seeing that he just kissed Ryan in the hall.

"You guys made this all too complicated," Patrick piped up. Brendon leaned his head on Ryan's shoulder and looked over at Patrick. Ryan wrapped an arm around his waist, holding his boyfriend securely.

"But we're together now, so it's okay," Ryan chuckled. Brendon smiled at the sound.

"I told you I would help you get your man," Pete told Brendon. The younger scoffed and laughed softly.

"Hate to break it to you, but Patrick was a bigger help than you." Pete gasped dramatically and held his hand to his chest.

"Excuse me, I had excellent dares to ensure that you and Ryan would end up together."

"Making me wearing women's underwear wasn't the way to go bud," Ryan teased.

"You just don't know how to play a good game of dare." Pete crossed his arms and pouted. He leaned his head onto Patrick, forcing the boy to console him.

"Anyway, thanks to the both of you. You did help us out," Brendon said.

"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters," Patrick answered as he patted Pete's back.

The bell rang for their next period class, ending their conversation. Going against Brendon's wishes, Ryan proudly walked his boyfriend to class, not caring that he'd be late. He even made sure to steal another kiss before leaving.

Brendon didn't realize how much attention he was getting now. The news of his and Ryan's kiss spread through the school like wildfire. People were staring and whispering at him, but he didn't care. He was too busy being happy about his new relationship that he'd been craving for too long.
