ryan walked into his house, roses and the car in his hands. his mom gave him a questioning look, but didn't bother him.

he walked upstairs to his room, and entered. he was greeted by the many posters of his favorite bands, and the most comfortable sight of all. his bed.

ryan was about to get changed out of his school clothes when he heard a tapping against his window. ready to get changed while actually feeling comfortable that some creep was't stalking him, he checked who it was.

brendon boyd urie was throwing pebbles at his window. he didn't know what could be more cliché.

"brendon boyd urie how do you know where i live, and why are you throwing pebbles at my window?"

"you said i could take you on a ride, ross." he shrugged like it was nothing.

"right now? don't your parents need you at home or something?"

"nope. now c'mon out here and get in this car with me," he yelled up to him, motioning to the pink car behind him.

"i am not getting in that, urie," ryan huffed.

"you already agreed to, so come on down."

ryan walked down his stairs, and told his mom he'd be back soon, leaving the house once she nodded and told him, "be back by eleven, sweetie."

once ryan was closer to the car, brendon opened the door for him. ryan laughed. "didn't know you were such a gentleman, urie."

"well, neither do many people, ross."

"glad to know. but what are we doing tonight?"

"well, i'm taking you on a ride."

"i knew that, babe," ryan breathed.

"babe?"

"yeah, you call me babe, i call you babe. you call me hun, i call you hun. hun."

"fair."

"yes, i know, but what are we actually doing."

"it's a surprise, baby."

after a few more minutes of driving, and mindless banter, they pulled up at a canyon ryan did not recognize. "here we are, babe." ryan tried not to blush at the name he had attained from brendon. knowing it was all apart of their, "game".

"oh my god, are we walking up there?" he asked pointing up at the very top of it.

brendon laughed, but answered, "yeah, but we're hiking up that one." he pointed to a moderately uphill trail. "this one's short," he added. ryan nodded and exited the car.

when he turned around, he has seen that brendon was grabbing two water bottles and a picnic basket. where the heck did he find a picnic basket?

brendon handed him a water bottle. "gotta stay hydrated, babe. don't want to have to take you to the hospital on the ride of our life." ryan nodded, and laughed.

"okay, urie."

they started the trail, talking about their favourite things.

--

"okay, ross. here we are." brendon motioned to the scene before him.

the sky had darkened a little, and when ryan checked his watch he saw that it was 6:58. he knew it had taken a fairly long time to get here, so he had a feeling this was planned.

but before he could ask, brendon had already started setting up the picnic. the area they were on right now occupied only the two, and wasn't rough, but smooth. brendon laid the red and white checkered blanket on the ground, and took the contents out of the basket.

oatmeal raisin cookies and thai food. ryan's favourite.

"how the heck did you get all of my favourite food, urie?"

with a shrug, he replied, "i asked spencer what your favourite food was, and he told me you loved oatmeal raisin cookies and thai food, so here you go." he motioned to the food before them.

"you, urie, are special," ryan breathed. he was surprised because this whole time he'd been missing out on his crush's offer to take him on a ride, this could've happened sooner.

"i know, babe."

"of course you do." brendon handed him a plate, and let ryan grab oatmeal raisin cookies and thai food.

--

by the time they had finished eating, the sun started setting.

the light blue faded into pink, orange, and purple. from where they were sitting on the canyon, they could look over las vegas, and it was beautiful.

"you planned this, didn't you, urie?" ryan asked the boy next to him.

"yeah, i did actually."

"that's so cliché, but i love it oh my god," ryan breathed out. he laid his head on brendon's lap, and felt him tense, but relax soon. ryan looked up at brendon and smiled at him. "you're amazing."

"thanks, babe. you too," brendon said smoothly, but ryan could see him turning the same shade as the pink in sky.

"no, like really."

"you too. honestly."

"nah, i don't think so." brendon looked down at ryan in disbelief.

"how can you not think so. i've had a freaking crush on you since the beginning of eighth grade. your writing is so wonderful, and i love it when you leave your hair curly especially because it looks like flowers, and there's seven billion more things i could tell you that i love about you."

ryan looked up at brendon and saw the determined look on his face. ryan looked away, feeling the heat rush to his face.

"well, i've liked you since the end of seventh grade," ryan mumbled. brendon looked at the boy in his lap, and smiled at him. ryan lifted his head from brendon's lap, and sat next to him. brendon tried not to frown at the empty feeling. brendon turned his head to look at ryan who was looking at him also. they both leaned in slowly until their lips connected. their lips moved in sync and slowly, full of a deep meaning and understanding.

when the two boys came back up for air, all of the pinks, light blues, purples, oranges, reds, yellows, had turned into a dark blue with stars twinkling in the sky. ryan sat on brendon's lap and look back at him.

"i've been waiting forever to do that."

"as have i."

ryan turned in brendon's lap so he was facing him, and kissed him again. brendon was shocked, but followed even while being pushed back onto the blanket, ryan straddling him. brendon smiled into the kiss. ryan tasted like thai food and oatmeal raisin cookies and brendon loved it.

--

when they were back in the car at 8:29, all packed up, brendon didn't drive ryan home yet.

"where are we going?" ryan asked the boy driving him to an unknown place.

"you'll see."

--

they just rode around random places, but they soon made it to a walgreens. ryan raised an eyebrow at brendon.

"what're we doing here?" ryan questioned. the answer he got was just brendon pulling him into the store. brendon grabbed ryan's hand and ryan tried not to think too much of it. brendon looked around the store, and found silly string. he put it in the blue basket. he also grabbed streamers. tinsel (and ryan was not sure why tinsel was in the store during summer), two water guns, two nerf guns, and more childish things.

"brendon, why do we need this?"

"you'll see, babe."

"you've been saying that a lot."

"well, you'll just have to see."

--

after paying and driving more, listening to green day in the car and singing along, they made it to a beach.

"we, ryan ross, are going to have fun." brendon tossed a can of silly string and a nerf gun to ryan.

"and you're going to lose this game." ryan smirked.

--

many minutes later at 10:26, they both ran out of foam bullets and silly string, and didn't feel like  finding the bullets probably somewhere in the sea and sand.

tinsel, silly string, wet sand, green foam bullets in the sand and water.

they both got up from off the sand and into the car, out of breath, and smiling like idiots.

brendon drove them away from the beach, but not before pulling out two other cans of silly string from the back. he sprayed ryan once more, and drove off.

--

now they were just driving around in the nighttime. ryan singing out the window. brendon smiled at the boy next to him.

sadly, ryan had to get home soon, so he had started driving in the direction of his house.

"aw i don't wanna go yet." ryan looked at brendon. brendon smirked, but he also didn't want ryan to leave. he gave ryan a kiss on the cheek.

"but you have to, babe, and as much as i don't want you to leave either, i gotta."

"walk me to my door?" ryan asked.

brendon nodded. he exited the car before ryan, and opened the door for him. "remember. i'm a gentleman," brendon smiled.

"can't forget, urie," ryan laughed exiting the car. they walked to the front of ryan's house in a comfortable silence. they were at ryan's door, and brendon opened his mouth.

"be my boyfriend? i'd like to call you babe, and have it be true. i wanna hold your hand whenever i see you. i wanna hug you, and cuddle with you, whenever i can. i want your head to be on my lap. i want to have your head on my shoulder. i want you to sit on my lap. i wanna kiss you, and know you want the same. i wanna be a couple, but i wanna be able to take you on rides everyday. so, be my boyfriend, ross?" brendon finished unsurely. ryan beamed at brendon.

"of course, urie."

brendon kissed ryan right then and there. ryan was shocked this time, but kissed back quickly.

"and thanks for the ride urie, it really was the ride of my life," ryan said after the kiss before opening the door to his house, and waved before closing the door gently.

brendon sighed happily, and walked back to his pink truck, and got in.

that was the ride of his life.
