Melt your headaches|Ryden 1x1 w/ chemicalwinter

When the butter fully melted, Brendon cracked the egg in the pan and let it cook until it needed to be flipped. He did so, and put it on a plate soon after. He ate it quickly, and put his dish in the sink. He went back to check on Ryan. He saw him sleeping, and went back out. "He needs rest." Brendon thought.

[ChemicalWinter]

Ryan was able to fully shut down, snoring a bit as he slept. He shuffled around a bit until the covers were over him like a cocoon.

Dottie scooter a bit closer to Ryan, snuggling up to his head and letting out a happy little puppy grunt.

Brendon sat on the couch and looked at nothing in particular. He just stared. He thought about the band, mostly, and all the good memories from their last tour. He wished he could go back in time and relive some of the moments, just one more time.

[ChemicalWinter]

//You're a regular decorated emergencyyyaahhhhh//

Ryan dreamed about their humble beginnings as a band. Back when Brendon was still a bit on the shy side, back when Ryan was the most awkward and weird, when Jon was a total nerd and Spencer was the mom friend of the group. Back when Ryan was the frontman and they'd play blink-182, back when his mom would make them pastries and lend out her basement to the rowdy boys, back when his dad was still alive... Ryan dreamed about it all. Somehow it had turned into a sad memory in his mind, he wondered what it would be like to have that old life back.

Dottie dreamed about the smell of fresh food.

Brendon remembered one of their days on the beach when they were in LA. He and Ryan had stayed later than Jon, Spencer, and Zack. They watched the sun set over the water, and went swimming in the dark. He made it a priority to go to the beach again soon, maybe just he and Ryan this time.

//Mmm that sounds sexy//

A couple tears slipped from Ryan's eyes as he slept. A soft sob escaped him as well, but it was quiet. He buried his face more in the pillow and shuddered.

Dottie squeaked in her sleep, giving muffled little barks.

//ooc: *wiNk wOnk*

Brendon became bored soon enough, and made his way to the bedroom to get a notepad to write down ideas for lyrics. He went over to the dresser and grabbed the composition book that was on top of it. He glanced over at Ryan, and noticed the tears that rolled down his cheeks. Brendon knelt silently next to the sleeping man, and wiped the tears away with his thumb, very gently.

[ChemicalWinter]

//Oh. Hell. Yes.//

Ryan whimpered softly and a couple more tears fell from his eyes. He turned over with his face deep in the pillow and he shivered, letting out a soft sob. The dream was turning sour. The memories were flooding his mind.

Dottie turned over onto her back and slept upside down.

[throam]

Brendon began to worry, he figured Ryan was having a bad dream of some sort. He moved his hand so it cupped Ryan's cheek. "Ryan?" He asked, startled, dropping the composition book.

[ChemicalWinter]

"Bren..." Ryan whimpered softly in his sleep, furrowing his brows and shaking a bit. "Dad... No..." He breathed, his voice breaking as he struggled out the words. He was shaking a little. Not because of nausea, but fear.

Dottie slept.
