Why this must be read:
Oh, man. Talk about a fandom cliche. But they're cliches because we love reading them over and over, and this story is no exception. What if Ryan couldn't overcome his pride to call Sandy? What if he had nowhere else to go? Rentboy!AU, with all that perfect angst and anger and pain in Ryan whittled down just a little bit more to a fine and brittle edge.
"Okay, fine." Seth crossed his arms and put on his most hardcore Steven Seagal stare. "What if I hire you?"
Ryan sucked in a breath and looked away. He looked hurt. Seth could see him shutting down right before his eyes. Fine, whatever. He didn't care if Ryan was hurt as long as he was safe, and that didn't really make a lot of sense, but Seth was just going to go with it.
"Hire me," Ryan said slowly, "like…?"
"Like other people hire you. Except not with the, you know," Seth made what he hoped were some smooth-and-stylin', yet suggestive hand gestures. "I'll pay you whatever you make for a week." Hoo boy, that was probably going to be a lot of sailing lessons.
Ryan just stood there, his eyes screaming "kicked puppy" and his body language screaming "get the fuck away".
"It'll be like a paid vacation," Seth offered.
That got him another good long stare.. Trust me, Seth thought. C'mon, you had to have trusted worse people than me, right?
Rent
And that's it for me this month! Hope you guys have enjoyed some of these old-school first season recs. I know I have!
