[9:25:47 AM] Pinstripes: in like a good way
[9:28:20 AM] { х-ɢαy }: okay but imagine when they’re back at the tower, after oryx, and jack is with gavin doing some scouting on earth - michael’s hanging with lindsay where she’s hiding and ray is off with geode and it kinda just spills out of ryan’s mouth.
“i’m sorry,” he says quietly, not looking at geoff - he stares down at his hands, a shaky exhale escaping. “for not being around much. for letting the power i had pretty much consume me. i know you wanted me around a lot and i always refused and i’m sorry for that. i wanted - i didn’t mean to - ” ryan slumps in place, sighing and covering his face. “sorry.”
it’s quiet for a few seconds; ryan feels geoff shift closer to him, jumps a bit when an arm wraps around him. “nothing to be sorry about,” geoff says, just as quiet. “you had your own thing and that’s okay, i wasn’t gonna stop you. i do wish i could have seen you around more but you’re here now and i’m happy about that.”
“i miss before.” ryan admits. “before when we were all okay, when all this crap didn’t happen to us yet. i wish it was like that again.”
“i don’t. we wouldn’t be who we are right now if it were like that.” geoff pauses, takes a deep breath. “i’m happy where i am now. i’m happy where we’re sitting, right here.” ryan doesn’t miss the unspoken i’m happy with you here.
it makes him smile, soft and hidden as he turns his face away.
