Why this must be read:
In the High School Musical movies, I don't especially care for Troy Bolton. I do, however, love finding fic that makes me like him. The Troy in this fic is so earnest that he totally won me over. Also, as a person who is often overwhelmed by the super-mushy romance in fic, I really enjoyed the sweet non-romance of Chad and Ryan's relationship here. As a bonus, this is one funny little story.
I will warn that even though the author rated it R, it starts with a sex scene. Just in case you're sensitive to such things.
No, okay. How this really begins? Is Chad deciding that he can't lie to his best friend anymore. He and Troy have an alarming history of secret-hoarding, and on a scale of one to what? Chad reckons "I'm having casual sex with our mutual male friend" is a bit more out there than "I like singing". It's not that he doesn't trust Troy, because Troy has seen him hanging from a tree by his feet, wearing only a hand-towel to preserve his modesty, and trying, very vocally, to convince the neighbours he's Tarzan. Granted, they were nine at the time, but the point stands. It's Troy. Troy doesn't judge. Troy—Troy likes singing.
But Troy's a simple-minded boy. He has his girl and his hoop and a good tune, then he's happy. Chad's thing with Ryan is simple too, but in a complicated sort of way. They like each other, a whole lot, but Chad is under no allusions of asking the Evans for their son's chastity, or sitting under the cherry blossoms and timidly offering Ryan his pin. He and Ryan fuck. They're not dating. They're fucking, and it's pretty awesome that way. Sometimes Ryan comes over and throws a pitch or two out in Chad's back yard, or sometimes Chad takes his trunks to Ryan's pool and dunks Ryan's head under the water until Sharpay screams at him to stop drowning her brother. But there'll always be a next time when Ryan's thin legs are wrapped around his waist and Chad's lips are wet on his neck.
Go. Read. Love. Tell the author.

Exactly! I can't help it.
Thanks so much for pointing it out.
You're very welcome! I'm getting so much enjoyment out of reccing fics this month, I can't even say.
