go go garraty!!

Bc at the funeral he comes up to Naim and is like "they did it to you too, didnt they? What did it look like?" How did he know?

ryan watched one youtube tutorial on how to trim an undercut so he could do naim’s hair without spending money at the barber’s. naim was afraid he’d leave him bald when ryan first used their thrifted hair clipper. he almost did.

an obnoxious opinionated lesbian from naim’s class befriended him. his sad wet eyes and snark have captivated her.

the same lesbian friend introduced naim to weird cinema so she has someone to talk to about it. ryan watched exactly one film with naim and never dared do it again. it was a cronenberg or a lynch. naim is never in charge of films after that. (huge huge lie. ryan knows nothing about cinema. unless it’s a film naim watches for a friend, they end up making out heavily even if there’s literal gore on screen. that type of horror is boring after all that they survived, y’know? and they get to kiss. a win-win of the lifetime.)

they accumulate an impressive collection of reusable lighters over the years to the point their friends notice. they gift them a silver zippo with engraving that says “a fucking cunt” in fancy overexaggerated cursive because it’s what naim always says at every minor inconvenience. ryan can’t stop snickering every time naim pulls it out to light their cigarettes. naim shoots him A Look.

He assumed Ryan had the same feelings for him (he did but at the time he saw Ryan and Hunter together, he didn’t know that)

He assumed Hunter’s father loved his son enough to not hurt him.

He assumed the police would care about Ryan’s safety.

He assumed the police would take him seriously after his confession.

He assumed his mom would still love him.

He assumed Jessica and Izzy would help him and Ryan.

He assumed random strangers in a convenience store would help him.

He even assumed that after everything, his mom would finally listen to and accept him.

He assumed everyone around him would care. Because at the end of the day, he is a teenage boy who has such a big heart and cares so much.

Ryan is THE white guy who really fucks with keeping the fire going. He's finding a big ass stick and he's poking those coals like it's his job.

Naim once threw a pillow at Ryan so hard it knocked him out of his chair and he busted his head on a table. He needed five stitches and sitting in the ED, after Naim's 80th apology, Ryan just shrugged and said "At least it was really you this time". Naim did not find this funny.

Naim's daily screen time clocks in at around 10 hours.

Ryan's phone screen is so shattered it sometimes leaves glass bits in your finger.

On the morning of his first real job interview, Ryan woke up with the biggest hickey either of them had ever seen. He found this much funnier than Naim did.

Chronic insomniac Ryan which sucks ASS because he can't leave the room for obvious reasons. So it's just a lot of him lying in bed staring at a shitty motel ceiling listening to Naim snore. He can't complain.

Naim gave himself a stick and poke of a bird. It looks like shit.

Their debit card once declined when all they were buying was lube and milk.

He takes his aesthetic so seriously
