What have I become? ((Stone + Ry))

Stone brought Ry all the way to the park, not once looking at him. Stone's intent and bloody gaze was fixed ahead of him the whole time. Once they arrived, he let go of Ry's hand and stood there, frozen in fury. His gaze was locked ahead of him, and he seemed to have been in a zombie like state of mind.

Ry stood there, shirt missing and his gaze fixed on Stone. "Stone..I..it...you.." Ry's head slumped, not knowing what to say to Stone. You scared me....Ry wanted to so badly to say those words but decided against it.

Stone wordlessly took off his blood stained jacket and tossed it onto the ground. He then took off his shirt and turned to Ry and without a word put it on him. Now Ry wasn't shirtless and didn't look too vulnerable. Stone's gaze was distant, and he knew deep down that he must have scared Ry. Tears welled up in Stone's eyes and he didn't bother to wipe them away as they rolled down his pale cheeks.

Ry felt Stone's shirt on him and smiled to himself a little but frowned as he looked up. "Stone...don't cry.." Ry gently walked up and wrapped his arms around Stone. He started to rub in circular motions on Stone's back, trying to calm him down.

Stone hugged Ry back and held onto him tightly. He buried his face in Ry's shoulder and let more tears roll down his face. "I...I'm so sorry, Ry....I'm sorry that you...had to see that side of me..." He said quietly between sobs.

"Shhh it's ok Stone...it's ok..I forgive you." He snuggled with Stone. Maybe Stone wasn't all shy and quiet like Ry thought he was... Ry continued to rub Stone's back in a loving way. "Hey Stone..I love you.." Ry thought that maybe this would cheer Stone up.

"I...I love you too, Ry...I love you so much...." Stone said, trying to stop the tears. After a minute, Stone relaxed a bit and the tears stopped running. He continued to hold Ry close, as if he would vanish into thin air if he let him go.

Ry sighed as he felt Stone relax a little. He then looked up at the sky, noticing the bright stars. He smiled while looking down at Stone. "Are you cold Stone?" Ry tilted his head.

Stone shook his head. "Not really..." Stone said in a calmer tone of voice. Ry was warm and by hugging him and being close to him, Stone wasnt bothered by the cold that much. He couldn't help but still feel a hint of sadness and regret that Ry had to see that...he didn't give a shit about stabbing Dustin, and was only worried about Ry. Dustin could go to hell for all Stone cared and he didn't regret stabbing him.

"Ok good." Ry looked at Stone's face emotion and could see a hint of sadness. "Stone... what's wrong...did I do something wrong?" Ry would hate himself if he did anything wrong to the one person he loved the most.

Stone shook his head. "No, Ry...you did absolutely nothing wrong. Its just.....Its just I cant help but think that now you think less of me after what I did...." Stone couldnt stand how guilty he was. He was positive that Ry must have thought bad of him after seeing him stab someone.

"Well sure seeing my boyfriend stab somebody was scary but..you did it to protect me....why would I think any less of you?" Ry slowly leaned up and pressed his lips to Stone's soft ones.

Stone was immediately comforted by Ry's words and gesture. Somehow, Ry knew exactly what to do and say to calm Stone down and make him happy again. Stone kissed Ry back lovingly, slowly wrapping his arms around Ry's waist, pulling him closer.

Ry smiled into the kiss. He closed his eyes, while gripping Stone's shoulders. Everything that was once falling apart was coming back together. Ry couldn't help but feel...joyful. Stone was all he wanted in life and hoped that he could spend the rest of his life with him. During the kiss, Ry opened his mouth a little instinctively.

Stone's heart started pumping a bit faster as he kissed Ry. He loved him so much and would do anything for Ry, even stab a guy. In the back of Stone's mind though, he knew that it was going to come back to haunt him in someway. But for now, he was happy and his mind as focused on Ry. He let his tongue slide into Ry's mouth and gently rubbed his tongue against Ry's.

Ry felt something warm slid against his tongue. He smiled and licked Stone's appendage back, sort of moaning as he did. God he loved Stone so much. Ever since he did come here, he found friends, love and enemies....

After a short while, Stone slowly broke off from the kiss. He gently took Ry by the shoulders and looked him in the eyes. Stone's expression was a mix of love, worry, and protection. "Ry....I never want anything like that to happen to you ever again...Ry, would you like to share a dorm room with me? I can request one. That way, I'll be close to you all the time to keep you safe."

Ry thought for a minute then nodded quickly. "Yes, I would like that Stone." He smiled up at him and gently hugged him tightly. Just as Ry was hugging Stone, he thought of something. What if Dustin came after Stone? Ry shot up his head to look Stone straight in the eyes and whispered, "Stone, what if he comes after you." He leaned down and snuggled into Stone's broad chest. "I don't want to lose you."

Stone hugged Ry comfortingly and then gently ran his fingers through Ry's hair in an assuring manner. "Don't worry about me, Ry. I'll be okay....but no matter what, I will protect you. You mean everything to me." Stone knew there was a high possibility that Dustin would try to come after him...but Stone wasn't worried because he had something that he could use to make sure neither of them were to get hurt....

Ry nodded and sighed But what if you couldn't...He didn't want to think about it any more so he just closed his eyes. His hear-beat had slowed down. Ry couldn't believe that he had almost got Stone hurt or even worse...killed. Ry frowned.

Stone rubbed Ry's back reassuringly. "Don't worry about me, Ry..." He said, trying to make Ry understand that he would gladly put his life on the line if it meant that Ry would be safe. He truely thought that Ry's life was way more important than his. If something happened to Ry, Stone wouldn't know what to do.

Ry nodded. "Ok Stone." He sniffled once before he adjusted in his seat. Maybe..I could talk to Dustin. Maybe I could tell him to just leave me and Stone alone. Ry rolled this plan in his head.

Stone then looked at Ry with a serious, but concerned expression. "Ry....promise me you will stay away from Dustin. Please, Ry...." Stone's tone of voice had a hint of pleading in it. He knew for a fact that if Ry approached Dustin, the outcome would not be good at all.

Ry looked up at Stone with a comforting gaze. "Ok Stone, I promise." Ry smiled a bit and hugged Stone again, assuring the promise. Ry never went back on his promises, never ever.
