Summary
They don’t speak on the bus. Maybe it’s the fragile truce that’s formed since the bus passengers proved they were both somehow still alive. Together. Maybe it’s the soft peace that’s settled since Naim allowed himself to bury his face in Ryan’s shoulder once again. And Ryan nuzzled against him in return. Maybe it’s wondering if Ryan, too, sees his ghost watching as they pass through an endless, empty landscape.

They escape with no plan for Step 2.

Summary
“Why're you looking at me like that?” Naim says, quiet, a bit insecure. His eyes flit away, closing when Ryan reaches a finger up to trace his lips.
Ryan shrugs, unable to do anything but tell the truth. He's in his bed with a beautiful, impossible boy, and he's going to tell him that he loves him. Like something out of his dreams. Ryan is sick of not taking what he wants, of letting it flit past him like a balloon in the wind, strings cut.
No. Ryan loves Naim, is in love with him, and he's going to fucking say it.
“I love you,” Ryan says, vulnerable, eyes wet. “I don't know how else to look at you.”
