"It's all about respect." "I do not respect you."

Ryan doesn't see the stars much - but they're his favorite.

Shane knowing this, bringing the coziest star-gazing blanket he can get his hands on.

Them star gazing from sunset to the wee hours of the morning.

Ryan thinks he sees a shooting star as he blinks sleepily.

"Make a wish, Shane," he says, always thinking of Shane first.

Shane looking over at him on their blanket, taking in his stunning profile.

He's in his head a lot, his inner monologue is being exceptionally rude, and he's just taking things a little more personally than normal.

Ryan notices he's subdued, not as witty, more self-deprecating in his jokes and bits.

When they have a quiet moment, Ryan pulls him aside.

"What's going on with you?" He asks, concern in his eyes.

"Me? Nothing, I'm fine." Shane lies.

Ryan doesn't buy it for a second. He knows Shane, though, and knows that his Midwestern sensibilities usually cause his emotions to be a bit stunted. So he lets it go - or, at least Shane thinks he does.

At the end of the day, Ryan invites him over. Shane isn't really feeling it, wants to go home and hide in bed until his head is back on straight.

But Ryan looks at him with those gorgeous eyes and that beautiful smile and Shane finds himself saying yes.

When they get back to his place, Ryan throws himself into doing everything he can to cheer Shane up. He queues up Shane's favorite movie, makes homemade popcorn, and gives him a drink.

Shane doesn't even realize he's being doted on until he's getting ready to leave for the night and finds himself to be totally relaxed and back in his correct headspace.

He looks at Ryan as he's getting ready to walk out the door as if he's seeing him for the first time.

On the opposite side of the wall, Shane is a chronic shower singer. He sings everything - indie hits, show tunes, the steps to his hygiene routine.

At first, Ryan is annoyed that he apparently shares a routine - and a wall - with his loud neighbor. But, after a while, he starts to really like it.

Shane being completely oblivious, flirting with other people at bars and parties.

He likes Ryan, but thinks he doesn't have a chance, so he doesn't even try. Plus they're friends, he doesn't want to ruin a good thing.

That being said, Ryan doesn't like it - Shane flirting with other people. He always swoops in and deflects.

One night, Shane calls him out for 'cock blocking'.

The reality that Shane genuinely wants to sleep with someone that's not Ryan makes his heart ache, maybe even crack a little.

Ryan suddenly loses all interest in Shane's dating life, avoiding him whenever they go out now. They're fine every other second of the day, but when they're out, Ryan won't even look at him anymore.

The tables turning and Shane trying everything to get Ryan to look at him.
