#shyan fics

[slashsleuth]

if you're looking for a Shyan fic to read this Halloween, may I humbly rec my own story 🧡🎃🐈‍⬛️🖤

Trick-or-Treat

Halloween is Ryan’s favorite holiday and he’s always wanted to dress up in group or couples costumes but no one has ever gotten onboard with this plan.

He doesn’t think that’s going to change at this year’s Buzzfeed party. He’s prepared himself for a night of tricks, but might end up with a treat instead.

g-rated, pining, fluff, romance, 5k || read on ao3

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other Say, what do you think all them saddles and boots was about? And there's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother

red wine supernova - bergoose | 10k, Not Rated

A wave of dizziness hit her, and it was then that Shane knew something was really wrong. Her body ached, her legs weren’t responding, and she was suddenly aware of a stinging sensation on the back of her neck. Did she get scratched by a bat?

She brought a shaky, uncoordinated hand to the back of her neck. When she pulled it back, it was wet, a liquid too thick and sticky to be sweat. It was too dark, and her vision was swimming but Shane had a feeling she knew what coated her fingers.

Before she could call out Ryan’s name uselessly, her eyes fluttered shut.

What's a pair of cowpokes who've got a jackpot to spend between them to do other than spend it on the local tavern girl they're both passing fond of?

Whispers in the Sagebrush - ÉcrivainFantôme (EcrivainFantome) | WIP, 11k, E

“Something’s eating the sheep,” Lizzie says, before her horse comes to a full stop before Ryan and the gang.

Ryan feels a shiver down the back of his spine. Of course the sheep would go missing by the river. Of course it would be by the laughing woods - the copse of wild trees and sagebrush that whisper in the night.

This has trouble written all over it.

do you have the extra scratch to bleach your pretty little asshole?

[ now available on ao3 ]

~~~

It's the second time that Shane goes blond that really does Ryan in. He'd been affected the first time, but who hadn't been? What a change! His friend, usually so conservative about his appearance even with the wild shirts and strange colour combinations, making such a change? Not something Ryan would have anticipated at all.

And then. And then Shane did it again. Went to the salon, asked for and received a colour treatment and Ryan just--well. He's lost the plot. He's not to be blamed for any of what happened after that, he's not. He can't be. Anyone would have done the same when faced with Shane and his blond hair and the attitude adjustment it came with.

So. Anyway. Not his fault, is what Ryan means. Definitely the ammonia fumes in Shane's hair colouring. Or something. Ryan doesn't know.

He should really stop thinking about this here, where he is balls deep in the hot clutch of Shane's body, his bare hand pressed against Shane's bare spine while Shane writhes under him, asking without asking for Ryan to move, to do something, to do anything. Ryan's not moving. He's already told Shane he won't. This is a non-negotiable part of the scene. Shane's gotta ask for it. He's gotta look back over his shoulders, pretty eyes wide, eyelashes clumped together, and open his mouth and ask for what he wants.

That's the deal.

Shane shifts and Ryan presses in, like he's not already all the way sheathed. The air goes out of Shane's lungs in a high wheeze, but he's nodding into the pillow so Ryan leans down further, covering Shane with his body, so he can put his mouth right next to Shane's ear.

"You want it, baby?" Ryan husks. "You know how to get it. You know all you gotta do is just tell me what you want. I can wait here all day, Shaney-boy, you and I both know it--"

Shane whines and squeezes his eyes shut tight. He clenches around Ryan, his body a ripple of sensation that makes Ryan have to bite his own lip and breathe through.

"Ry--" Shane starts, and stops.

"Come on," Ryan cajoles, sing song, "or I'll think you're holding out on me. Is that what you're doing? Getting off on the denial? Think you can come just like this? Keeping my dick warm in your pretty little asshole?"

Shane mutters something under his breath, but he hisses as Ryan shifts his knees. "Please," Shane says, finally, and it sounds like he's dragged it out from the soles of his feet. "Ryan--Da--" Shane stops himself and Ryan grins, wolfish.

"Who's gonna take care of you, baby?" Ryan asks. "Who makes sure you have the money for your hair appointments?" Ryan runs his hand down Shane's flank. Shane squirms both into and way from the touch. "Who gives you that extra scratch to keep your pretty little asshole bleached?"

Shane groans. "Fuck. Please, Ryan--fucking move, daddy, I need it."

"Good boy," Ryan says, leaning up and back and before snapping his hips. "Come on your daddy's cock, Shane."

And Shane does. Almost immediately.

OK essay on "can i sample them" incoming

"can i sample them" was my favorite because, even though i wish shane had acknowledged it, i think he knew like. i think he sensed that the natural end of that bit would be goading ryan to kiss him.

if shane did continue the bit: realistically, the only thing he could do is up the ante, throw down a challenge, like tell ryan he can't handle the softness. ryan your lips can't compare to this level of soft. And you know ryan wouldn't back down from that and he'd have to up the ante too and then they'd just be kissing on camera.

i wonder if unspoken, implied gay bits count as flirting for them if they're both imagining the same endpoint

Oh man I forgot people sometimes submit propagada to the polls. Please keep them coming I love reading the essays about shyan 💖

Yeah I think if Shane didn't ignore this they would have to kiss on camera in the end wouldn't they.... or maybe more who knows 👀

I also wonder what they are thinking whenever they have bits like that like what is the intention behind it is it as a joke or is it something more?

Shippers & Readers, we're at it again

Ever wonder about the fics that don’t make it through the final round of voting for the bi-weekly read in the book club? You’re in luck!

The book club is structured so that we solicit nominations from our members, either based on a theme or a trope or simply a request for their favorites, and develop a list of ten nominations, which are then narrowed down to a top three. The top three fics end up in our weekend vote and the winner of that vote becomes our book club fic for that week.

This week was us overlooking the broad landscape of the middle of March where once upon a time, many of us looked forward to a little reprieve within the scope of Spring Break and all the fun times it entails. The request to our members was a return to a theme that once gave us a really fun banger of a read. Drunk in Love. We wanted shyan tipsy and confessing. Of our titles with this theme, we had two runners-up and we just want to highlight them.

Three Many Spirits - fullofbees

Please drink responsibly.

Bad Ideas - Fraudgara

Shane’s fingers curled tighter so he would stop shaking. Ryan pulled away, drew back slowly, and pushed Shane’s hands back, off his hips gently. “Baaaad idea,” he mumbled, licking his lips and shutting his eyes as he extricated himself. “This is a bad idea.” Ryan didn’t get it, and Shane was left behind in a moment, trying to figure out in a drunken stupor, how best to tell Ryan that those were the ideas Shane liked the most.

I’ll Crawl Home – carrieonfighting

(16,024 words / 6 chapters / Teen and up)

Tags: Demon!Shane, Angst, Non-Linear Narrative, bc im PRETENTIOUS, Protective!Shane

"Shane was almost unnerved by how quickly he’d settled into this body, this name, this life - his friendship with Ryan was the most time he’d spent with any human before, and yet the man fascinated him."

Wow. That’s all I gotta say. I started reading Shane/Ryan fic because I had a weird dream and went looking for comfort fic to ease the edges of my mind. I stumbled upon this fic and was so fucking blown away. I was drawn in because of the demon!Shane tag and the way this story is charted out is insane. It’s nonlinear (there is a liner version tho I’m strongly against it). Just ohmygod read this fic it’s insane and hurts so good.

I’m Gonna Keep You in Love with Me (for a While) – beethechange

(21,847 words / 1 chapter / Explicit)

Tags: fake married, also real married, friends to husbands to lovers to ???, Las Vegas Wedding, possible dubious consent due to alcohol consumption, Anal Sex, Hand Jobs, Oral Sex, Rimming, just assume most of the kinds of sex are present here, probably more Celine Dion than you were hoping for, they say "fuck" a lot, also "dude" but I don't make the rules okay, Bedsharing

Shane is pacing around the hotel room. It’s not a huge room and Shane’s legs are long enough that he doesn’t have much real estate to pace before he has to swing back around for another loop.

“Can you stop?” Ryan asks. “You’re making me dizzy.”

“Okay,” Shane says finally. “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re just going to—we’re going to be married. The only way out is through.”

“Um,” Ryan says, because this plan strikes him as counterproductive to their shared goal of not being married.

To me there are the big two when thinking of Shane/Ryan fics. That is to say the others aren’t amazing but two gutted me in a way I was not expecting from I ship I don’t even ship. This is one of the two and fucks sake it hurts me but in a way I really like and neeeeeded. (The other is the one above this)

Muscles Better and Nerves More – beethechange

(26,301 words / 1 chapter / Explicit)

Tags: Bodyswap, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Getting Together, First Time, Pining, Slow Burn, Masturbation, Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs, Anal Fingering, Body Horror, Rituals, Swearing, Sexy Shame

“I’m serious,” Ryan says. “Don’t go fucking up my body. I want that shit back in the same condition I left it.”

“The same condition—Ryan. I’m not spending hours in a gym every day so you don’t lose muscle mass.”

“I want you to treat my body with the respect you would a national park. Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories.”

***

A certain meddling Voodoo Queen of New Orleans thinks Ryan and Shane need some new perspective on life. After an inadvisable ritual deposits Ryan in Shane’s body, and Shane in Ryan’s, the ghoulboys pursue some soul-searching and self-discovery to put things right. Sometimes in a sexy way.

I have found out while reading this fic that I am also a sucker for bodyswap!au. Something about learning to love someone completely while seeing (and being lmao) all of them is so intimate and endearing to me. Plus there’s dumplings in this fic and that is just sweet sweet poetry.

If you can find a way to love me, it’s all right – varnes

(11,232 words / 1 chapter / Teen and up)

Tags: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Psychic Ryan

When Ryan was a kid, he fell into a pile of bricks. They were playing hide and seek, and he thought he had the best hiding spot: high up in a thickly lush tree, his knees drawn to his chest so that he’d blend in. But the branch broke. He hit his head and doesn’t remember much of what happened after that. When he woke up a few hours later, the sun was setting, and his friends were gone, and his parents were calling for him, their flashlights swinging across the grass. There’d been blood on his bangs.

Anyway, now he can see ghosts.

Kind of.

Look, he’s not great at it.

--

Or: Ryan, personally, has three lists: “NICE GHOSTS,” “GHOSTS I DON’T FUCK WITH,” and, “IDK, SPOOKY STUFF.”

Oh my goddddd this fic is so sweet and so owie. At first I was skeptical because the fanon is that Shane can see demons or ghosts or whatever. But having it be Ryan???? So owie in such a good way. Other then this fic being the masterpiece that it is, I’m going to convince you with one sentence: Ryan has a cat with a ghost in it that demands Taco Bell. That’s it baybee. Read it or you’ll regret itttt.

BFFS Get Married For A Week – Ryan and Shane – aspookycryptidsock

(18,108 words / 8 chapters / Explicit)

Tags: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fake Marriage, Friends to Lovers, Oral Sex, Hand Jobs, Pining, Mutual Pining

"As I was saying," Curly continues with a pointed glare in Ryan's direction. "It's my honor to join the two of you in unholy matrimony. The rules are simple, you'll live together, plan one date each, and cherish each other. Til week do you part."

I first read this fic years and years ago. I don’t know how it happened but me and my best friend found it while being at a library and we went feral reading it before their mom picked us up. It’s my origin story to the ship. This fic is my first love and my baby gorl. Shane is intense in a way I lovelovelove. Ryan is dumber then a pile a bricks amen.

Body Farming – shiphitsthefan

Failed suppressants and a surprise heat: the worst of cliches, and here Ryan stands, living the trope on location with the alpha he’s hopelessly in love with. Even worse, they’re spending the night in the famous Bell Witch Cave, completely alone and with no way to contact the outside world.

Ryan knows he can survive and keep his preheat a secret, as long as Shane will stop being so protective and concerned. After all, it’s not like Shane wants to bond with him.

Right?

Your honor I’d like to state my case by saying being horny on main is bc I’m silly goofy and I never meant no harm. ABO fuck or die in a cave? Fuccck kkkk y e aaaa

daring it’s a faded notion – varnes

(28,760 words / 5 chapters / Explicit)

Tags: Paranormal shenanigans, y'all remember that trope where people can't be more than 5 feet apart without Suffering?

The sun is too bright and Ryan’s whole body is alight with something that is eating him all the way up from the inside out, but he keeps his eyes open and he makes himself look, and he tells himself that once he finds Shane, he’ll think about it. Once he finds Shane, they’ll make a plan. Once he finds Shane, and only then, he’ll let himself have the thought he’s been swallowing down like bile since he came to: that they didn’t fall.

They were pushed.

OR: Ryan and Shane get cursed by a ghost, and now they can't be not-touching. It's ... not great.

Ghosties don’t like the no homo and said ummm yeeeeet!!! Into the Grand Canyon then the ghoul boys kiss???? Makes me go hubba hubba

Ryan is desperately in love with his best friend.

Owieeeeeee. This one made me cryyyy. The prose of this fic along with a healthy usage of the word jaunty made this fic deeply emotional as well as made me want to cry when they kissed. Very excellent

A Perfect Piece of Ass, Like Every Californian - beethechange

Tags: entirely self-indulgent PWP, smut with feelings, Threesome, Birthday Sex, Oral Sex, lotta ball stuff here folks, so i hope you like balls, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, Sexy Air Traffic Conducting, Vaginal Sex, Voyeurism

“Happy birthday, Shane,” Sara says. “I got you a Ryan.”

“Th—thanks?” Shane says. He looks at Ryan and Ryan just looks back, weirdly impassive, giving nothing away. “But I’m pretty sure I already have a Ryan in this model. What’s the return policy?”

“Not like this, you don’t,” she says, raising her eyebrows meaningfully. Out of the corner of his eye Shane can see Ryan bring his hand to his mouth, stifling a snicker that he turns into a cough. Oh, he thinks.

Oh shit.

I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that this fic is morally correct but Shane/Sara/Ryan fic is what I needed and it blew me away and it is the best smut thank you goodnight

[phosphorus-noodles]

An assortment of doodles I did after reading this fic by @desmouliti0ns :)

I literally have not stopped thinking about it since I read it. I think it changed my brain chemistry. I'm actively not okay. Would highly recommend btw.

(Also here is final girl ryan by himself since I think he turned out the best haha)

[ghostfilecabinet]

Hey! Do you have any good demon Shane fic recommendations please? 🩶

I'm not as active in fandom, so I don't have as many offerings as I'd like. Another thing is, one of the weird fun facts about me is that when I'm not hyperfixated on a thing, I lose the ability to read smut about it, so you'll find that the ratings for this tend to be M or below (except for one I pulled from the bookmarks). I hope you enjoy!

The Devil You Know by ma_malice | T, 19k | "There will be no sacrifice,” Shane said for the third time since they’d landed in Illinois. “Not so much as a chicken. Stop being weird.” Shane takes Ryan home for the holidays. It goes about as well as you’d expect.

Lead us not into temptation by Agf | E, 6k | Look, having a demon boyfriend and not roleplaying demonic sex just kind of seems like a waste, leftover Catholic guilt notwithstanding.

summoning demons (and other bad first date ideas) by callunavulgari | M, 3k | “If I let you out of that circle,” Ryan says, slowly. “Are you going to eat me?” Shane gives him a sharp smile and before he can think better of it, retorts, “Only if you ask very nicely.”

touch and go (don't let go) by cathect | T, 2k | Or, the one where Shane tells Ryan he's a demon.

Myliobatoidei by puppytozier (calicoy) | T, 1k | “I am not a demon,” Shane insists. There, in his bathrobe, with his horns and scales and pitch black eyes, Shane insists that.

i have my reasons (call it my defense) by MistressKat | T, 666 | There are three reasons why Shane always does his solo run first, in every haunted, demon-infested, supernaturally inclined location they investigate.

pull me closer (until we collide) by Future_boy | T, 4k | Ryan is seemingly haunted by a spirit that just really wants to hold his hand.

From Hell, With Love by snapdragonpop007 | T, 4.7k | Shane Madej is a demon, and Ryan Bergara is a psychic medium. These are facts. Ryan knows one of these facts, and Shane knows both of them.

Ritual Magick for Beginners by sequence_fairy | T, 2k | Ryan learns the hard way that you shouldn't get your protection spells from myfirstspellbook.com.

Apotheosis by orphan_account | M, 3k | Slowly but surely, Ryan realises that holy shit, he may or may not be dating a demon. So naturally, his next course of action is to summon the demon in question.

[themouthking]

Smoke and Mirrors is a completed work.

My cowriter @tripwirealarm, a human who is not myself, and I would like to say thank you to those who've been following along and leaving comments along the way. We hope you enjoy the last chapter!

I'll speak for myself and say, it's really been meaningful for me to see folks sharing about what this story means to them. In the end, we wrote this for us, because it was what we wanted to read, but I'm glad to see it was something y'all wanted to read, too.

Without further a-boo, read chapter 14 HERE.

Or go back to the start with chapter 1 HERE.

Fic Rec Friday Edition 35

Welcome to Fic Rec Friday! I HOPE you're in the mood to READ this week!

How did it end? by Ren_Saxon Complete | 3k words

Ryan pulled off him just for a moment, his head spinning again as he looked down at Shane - kissed-red lips, half-parted, asking for more, his cheeks flushed and his hair ruffled. The painful reminder, the symbol of his life having crumbled over night, fallen apart, gone up in flames. You can have either one or the other, his own voice reminded him mockingly. But never both.

Extra Scratch by sequence_fairy Complete | 500 words

"Who gives you that extra scratch to keep your pretty little asshole bleached?"

Big Apple Steve and That Time He Obliviously Third-Wheeled His Friends All Summer by beethechange Complete | 12k words

Steven Lim is not a stupid man. Steven Lim is a capable man, an ex-scientist, creator and producer of Buzzfeed’s most popular video series. He helped invent Tide Pods, for Pete’s sake. Tide Pods. So he knows he’s no idiot. He’s naïve, perhaps. He has blind spots, like anyone, particularly when it comes to relationships, especially when it comes to sex. Still, when he walks in on Ryan sitting astride Shane’s lap on the sofa, tongue fully in the guy’s mouth, hand fully down his pants, Steven reckons he should probably have seen this one coming.

The Law of Parsimony by ÉcrivainFantôme Complete | 26k words

The Law of Parsimony - Also called ‘Occam's razor’, is a mental model which states that “it is futile to do with more what can be done with fewer”— In other words, the simplest explanation is most likely the right one; no matter how unlikely. Shane tries really hard to hear the voices when he’s doing the Estes method for Ryan. It’s just, you know. This time, he hears the voices after the Estes method has stopped, too.

Don't Forget To LycanSubscribe by breathtaken Complete | 24k words

Shane looks up and nearly swallows his tongue as he finds himself face-to-face with Ryan from LycanSubscribe. The YouTube channel that’s consumed most of Shane’s leisure time and pretty much all his waking thoughts for the past two weeks, not to mention a couple of vaguely guilty jerk-off sessions. Ryan’s wearing a white T-shirt with a pair of sunglasses hooked onto the neck and there’s a stray lock of hair curling over his forehead, and he’s even more startlingly attractive in the flesh—which in Shane’s opinion is saying something. He says, “Hi, can I get a—” “Grande iced chai latte,” Shane blurts out, before he can stop himself.

Hold You By The Edges by Exorin and sequence_fairy Complete | 7k words

Shane’s got one knee on the couch when they separate. He’s crowding over Steven, pressing him back into the cushions. There’s a delicate flush on Steven’s cheeks, his mouth still slightly parted when Shane pulls away. “You’re sure this is okay?” Shane asks, sliding onto the couch beside Steven without breaking the contact of his hand against Steven’s face. Instead of answering, Steven’s leaning in again, nodding yes with his eyes gently closed. Shane gently stops him with a hand on his chest and waits until Steven’s eyes flutter open again. “Hey, I need you to say it out loud for me,” Shane says, his voice so low and careful.

darling it's a faded notion by varnes Complete | 29k words

The sun is too bright and Ryan’s whole body is alight with something that is eating him all the way up from the inside out, but he keeps his eyes open and he makes himself look, and he tells himself that once he finds Shane, he’ll think about it. Once he finds Shane, they’ll make a plan. Once he finds Shane, and only then, he’ll let himself have the thought he’s been swallowing down like bile since he came to: that they didn’t fall. They were pushed. OR: Ryan and Shane get cursed by a ghost, and now they can't be not-touching. It's ... not great.

Begin the Begin, Over and Over by beethechange Complete | 33k words

Shane only agrees to be handcuffed to Ryan for a video because he can put up with anything for twenty-four hours. That’s the funny thing about time loops, though—they don’t always adhere to the parameters set by clickbait videos.

tear down the doors, throw open windows by VileKepler Complete | 97k words

Watcher's newest project, Bed & Breakfast & Boys, should really have made Ryan figure out some stuff sooner. Because staying at nice hotels for romantic weekend getaways alone with his best friend really shouldn't make his palms all clammy. Or, 5 times Ryan and Shane stayed in cool hotels for a show + 1 time for themselves.

Nothing safe is worth the drive by Ren_Saxon Complete | 5k words

Shane hates driving. Shane hates the unfamiliar streets of LA. Shane does not hate the hot guy he accidentally cut off at an intersection - who somehow found him on Grindr of all places.

Once Upon a Porno by GomorrahHillsides Complete | 15k words

Seeking comfort after a hellish nightmare, Ryan drops in on Shane late at night. He uses the spare key, thinking the Big Guy's asleep. Spoiler : he's not. How one awkward moment can change your future. Or, the story of how two grown men end up forging a deeper, more intimate relationship by way of dubbing a period piece porno together.

drink up by mccxxvi Complete | 2k words

He shouldn’t do this anymore. They shouldn’t do this anymore. Last time was the last time.

Like a Little Clock by fightingfuries Complete | 2k words

"We can go a day without kissing." Shane looks sceptical. "We can! Especially if you are your usual asshole self. Just pick a fight with me and I'll be cured of wanting to kiss you for 24 hours easy." Shane snorts. "That's not gonna work. Arguing turns you on." or, Shane and Ryan test if they're still in a time loop

"If you really wanna move the needle..." by StrangeAndOffPudding Complete | 26k words

Ryan's curiosity is piqued when Shane acts shifty about a seemingly innocent taunt. Shane internally battles a secret weakness and desire that is more than a little embarrassing. Over the course of a ghost-hunting roadtrip to film a new season of Ghost Files, Ryan pokes and prods at this wall until Shane's defenses crumble, and he admits what he REALLY thinks of all those teasing touches - but is it just body chemistry, or does this escalating intimacy say more about their relationship than either one realized?

For the shyan prompts: what if we kissed on the ww+ couch

(I have not forgotten these! Just been busy)

“I don’t understand this fucking jackfruit,” Shane says, inspecting once more after the cameras have cut. Ryan is still next to him on the couch while Steven helps Carter clean up their fruit remnants.

“It’s gross, what’s there to understand?”

“Why is this middle part so sticky?!”

“Why is anything sticky, dude? It’s probably the fruit’s jizz.”

Shane is fairly confident that’s not how fruit works, but it makes him laugh too much to correct him. “So, that’s what I rubbed all over my mouth? Fruit jizz?”

“Gives another meaning to the words fruit juice,” Ryan grins. “Hey, wait, isn’t pineapple supposed to make it taste better? I think we’re onto something here.”

Shane tosses one of the remaining pineapple slices at Ryan. Ryan tries to catch it but it falls onto the floor, joining a dust bunny and gaffer tape. “Try it out for yourself, mon frere.”

“You just ruined a perfectly good slice of pineapple!”

“Dare you to eat it.”

“Ew, no dude! You eat it.”

Shane plucks the slice off the floor, dusting it off. It’s a little gross, sure, but Shane’s eaten worse. He bites into it, relishing the disgust on Ryan’s face.

“You are so gross!” Ryan whines.

“Five second rule, ever heard of it? Besides, it’s good pineapple.”

“It was on the floor!”

Shane shrugs. “Better than the jackfruit.”

“Absolutely not.”

“Absolutely yes.”

“Prove it.”

Later on, Shane won’t know what Ryan really meant by it and neither will Ryan. But now, the only way Shane knows how to shut the ol’ Bergooze up is to share a taste. 

Quicker than he can talk himself out of it, Shane leans in and smacks a kiss right on Ryan’s lips. It’s supposed to be a joke, but Shane doesn’t feel like laughing. And the way Ryan’s hand is suddenly fisted in Shane’s shirt isn’t funny either. Ryan’s lips are soft, sweet with leftover fruit, and Shane suddenly wants to know how the rest of him tastes.

“Wait, what’s happening over here?” Carter asks, breaking them apart as quickly as they attached themselves to each other. 

“Nothing,” Ryan lies, his eyes telling a very different story. Shane can’t speak, he just buries his face in his phone, scrolling through email just to give his hands something to do.

“Yeah, sure, okay,” Carter says unconvincingly as he grabs the jackfruit from the table. 

Once he’s gone, Shane mumbles, “Sorry.” He’s still staring at his phone, although his vision is blurry.

“S’okay. You were right,” Ryan says just his breath.

That gets Shane to look up. “About what?”

“It was better than the jackfruit.”
