Work Text:
They were having a night in. Ryan walked out of the bathroom, steam rising up behind him, drops of water dripping down his body moving in different patterns, as if avoiding his scars. He walks into the bedroom, leaving footprints of water on the carpet trailing behind him, noting his masks dangling on the board he and Ray set up for their heist gear.
He was just pulling up his black boxer briefs when he heard it, the faint thump-thump of a song flowing through their pent house on full blast, coming from the living room. Running a hand through his blond locks, he walks to the living room.
There, fiddling with the buttons on the speakers in nothing but a black wife beater and jeans purple hoodie forgotten on the sofa, is Ray Narvaez Jr or BrownMan as Los Santos knows him. He steps away from the speakers in sync with the rhythm. The unmistakable melody of “stand by me” dictating his steps.
He looks towards Ryan and grins as the lyrics start.
Nice to meet you where you’ve been, I can show you incredible things, were not the lyrics Ryan was expecting.
Magic, madness, heaven, sin, Ray sang as he danced slowly to the music his body bouncing to the beat, grin a permanent fixture on his face.
Saw you there and I thought oh my god look at that face, you look like my next mistake he continued, clutching his heart in an exaggerated manner
Ryan shakes his head, chuckling low and deep. He raises an eyebrow at his lover.
Ray starts to dance towards where Ryan was leaning against the wall with his hands folded on his chest.
New money, suit and tie, I can read you like a magazine, Ray sings as he dances slowly. He takes three steps and turns to dance facing the sofa, pointing at his pink sniper rifle as the lyrics ain’t it funny, rumors fly, and I know you heard about me. Could be heard. Whipping his head at Ryan’s general direction as the lyrics continued so hey, let’s be friends, I’m dying to see how this one ends. His eyebrows flying up into his hair as he looks at Ryan suggestively from behind his thick rimmed glasses.
Grab your passport and my hand, I can make the bad guys good for a weekend a this point Ray is inches from Ryan, moving his forefinger down Ryan’s damp torso. And Ryan chuckles, sending vibrations through Rays arm.
Ryan pushes off the wall to let Ray dance in front of him, hands touching occasionally wherever he needed as the lyrics kept streaming through the speakers.
So, it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Ryan sang along with the next riff as it plays out, Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane holding Rays hand staring him in the face, right as he bursts out laughing, tipping his head back shoulders shaking.
Ray continues singing the rest of the riff barely keeping himself from laughing through it
‘Cause, you know, I love the players And you love the game screaming as the song bled into the next riff.
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
They both sing as uncoordinated movements turn to counted steps and synchronized swaying, Ryan having taken the lead, letting Ray rest his arms on Ryan’s shoulders, whilst his on Rays hips.
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
Ryan moved his hand to cup Ray’s face, going in for a kiss. Moving back to rest his forehead on Ray’s as Ray continued to recite the lyrics to Ryan’s face You’re the king baby I’m your queen the implication making Ryan chuckle, he rubs his forehead on Rays, as he pecks Rays lips one more time.
Find out what you want, be that girl for a month Ray flips his nonexistent flowing locks making Ryan grin widely.
But the worst's yet to come. Oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Neither sang this part, instead opting to sway to the music more. Ryan sang the next part as he strokes Rays face Rose garden filled with thorns. Skip a second, guessing like "Oh my God, who is she? "I get drunk on jealousy he grips Rays face tightly, pressing nails into Ray’s face. Ray grins, knowing it's just for show.
But you'll come back each time you leave, cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream. Ray sang as Ryan let him go, hand caressing Ray’s face, almost apologetically.
So, it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause, you know, I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
They danced quietly to the music as it played out the last riff of the song, kissing occasionally, laughing in between. Hands straying every now and then, but always finding their way back to waists and shoulders.
The music pulls out a stop and lyrics continued, the familiar lyrics of stand by me were sung accordingly.
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
They’ve stopped laughing, Ray’s grin wiped from his face, in turn replaced with a solemn look. He took a step closer, chest to chest with Ryan’s torso, no longer damp. He places his head on Ryan’s shoulder, hands moving to Ryan’s back, in between his shoulder blades, gripping tightly as if afraid to let go.
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me
Ryan Returns the actions by slotting his head in the crack between Rays neck and shoulder. Hands snaking further back to hold Rays middle section tightly, tracing circles into Ray’s back dimples that Ryan felt under the black fabric. As he whispers the next lyrics into Ray’s ear.
So darling, darling Stand by me,
oh, stand by me
Oh stand,
stand by me Stand by me
they embraced tightly, still swaying to the music as the last riff was exchanged with Taylor Swifts lyrics once more and the music fades to silence.
Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
They’re both reluctant to move away and they stayed swaying in silence before Ray pulled away slowly chuckling quietly as he looked at Ryan in the eyes.
“my wife beater got wet” he said breaking the silence, changing the atmosphere.
Ryan chuckles gently, moving towards Ray as the younger moves back. Stopping once Ryan places his hand on the others cheek.
Ryan took off Ray’s glasses and slipped them into his other hand, and pulls Ray’s head towards his chest. Carding his hair through the younger’s black locks. After a moment he lifts Ray’s head up, kisses his forehead, eyelids, nose, and lastly his lips.
“I love you” Ryan said, making eye contact.
Ray smiles softly, “sooo what’s for dinner?” he laughs sheepishly. He takes his glasses fron ryans hand as he moves away.
Ryan frowns.
“I’m kidding Rye, I love you too”, he says, kissing Ryan’s neck once.
The older shakes his head, a soft smile on his face.
“Italian, at Fabio’s” he answered, starting to walk towards their bedroom. Twin generic pings came from nearby phones, signaling a message.
“Heist meeting Rye!” Ray called out towards his lovers retreating back.
“They can wait two damn hours! I wanna spoil you and buy you roses first” Ryan shouts, voice muffled by the walls.
Ray clicks his tongue and quickly types in a reply, putting on his coat hanging behind the front door right as Ryan comes out of their bedroom, locking it and slipping the key into his pocket.
As he got to the front door, Ray handed him the keys to his bike, strapped on Ryan’s holster for him after his own with handgun securely placed inside, Ryan shrugs on his coat, hiding the handgun effectively.
They leave the pent house with matching smiles on their faces, Rays hands tight around Ryan’s waist, wind whipping around them in the chilly winter night.
