There has always been speculation around the fob/panic! fandoms that Pete Wentz and Ryan Ross had some sort of romance/sexual relations in the early days for p!atd. Here i have some ‘proof’ gathered that suggests the rumours weren’t false after all.

Firstly, here are some messages between the two - in 2004 - where Pete is questioning Ryan about the band, before he signed them to the record label.

As you can see, Ryan refers to Brendon as ‘dead sexy’ (ryden oof) and then continues basically say ‘he’s not as hot as you though’ which is CLEAR FLIRTING. This may be a simple joke, but it still happened, so take it as you will.

Also, here we have a quote from Pete. There’s a clear theme of mutual attraction by now. I’ll just let you read this one for yourself.

((I’M POSTING THE VIDEO SEPERATELY BC I CAN’T POST IT HERE I’M SORRY! BUT HAVE THE EXPLANATION ANYWAY, BELOW))

Now. In this video, Ryan is undeniably awkward and hesitant before he answers. May i also add, although he says they didn’t ‘hook up’ he ALSO said ‘close though’ which could mean a lot of things. How close Ryan?

There’s not a lot i can say about the video except that it makes it pretty obvious they’ve done things together.

So far, all i’ve really given ‘proof’ for is the sexual aspect of these possible past lovers, yet this next one proposes the idea of a deeper connection.

(this conversation happened after the panic! split) Above, Ryan says that he thought he was more to Pete than what he’s shown. This indicates that what they had meant a lot to Ryan, or was even an actual relationship. Otherwise, i don’t believe Ryan would seem so annoyed/upset by it, let alone bring it up; years later.

Lastly, there are numerous pictures of the two online, where they seem to be a little.. close and i decided to share a few of those with you too.
