Your pov

Floating underwater ever changing... picture hours out from that... in tune with all our dreams...

My fingers floated around in the dark as I listened to Deftones. Quietly I hummed along, gazing at my fingers. I sank into my bed as the sounds swept me up in a wave of euphoria.

Then through the darkness I gazed upon my fingers. They flowed similarly to jellyfish tentacles, or octopus tentacles, if you will. Sleep was only a moment away. My eyelids were getting heavier and heavier by the second.

But, before sleep could finally take over, something in the window caught my eye. Whatever it was, it was gone almost immediately. As I began to get up, something hit the glass.

Quickly, I made it to the windowsill. I spotted a few boys from school standing on my lawn. Once they saw me, they began waving their arms and jumping around. Oh my fucking god...

I opened the window and waved back, slightly irritated.

"Hey," I quietly called so my family wouldn't hear, "The fuck you doin' here?"

"Come down!" One cried.

"Why?" I asked. They looked at each other.

"Uhm... we're bored..."

"Okay...? What do you want me to do about it?" They looked at each other again. I sighed, "I'll be down in a minute..." They cheered.

Quickly, I changed out of my pajamas into some day clothes. I tried my best to at least look decent, but it's on them for showing up close to midnight.

"Okay," I spoke as I opened the door, "What do you want from me?"

"I dunno..." Pete began, "We're bored..."

"Yeah? And?"

"I dunno, we thought you might lighten the mood..." Said Ryan.

"Yeah and besides," Gabe began, "It's not like you're doing anything anyways, I mean- ow!" Pete smacked his friend. I just rolled my eyes.

"Okay, whatever, I'll go with you guys. I'm already out here anyways..."

"Cool..." We all walked to Gabe's car. Ryan and I sat in the back while the other two sat up front.

"What are we doing?" I asked. Gabe shrugged.

"Probably just gonna drive around..." I hummed. Gabe started the car and began to pull out of the driveway. Quiet music played as I gazed out the window. In the suburbs houses blended in with each other. Each lawn was cut almost perfectly, creating a boring landscape that complimented the bland, colorless homes.

As we crossed the threshold into the city, the boys talked and joked. I wasn't paying much attention to their conversations, though their laughter rang loudly throughout the vehicle.

"... what about you, Y/n?" Pete asked. I hummed, oblivious to what he wanted to know.

"What kinda music do you like?" He repeated.

"Oh..." I thought for a moment, "I like just about anything, but recently I've been listening to a lot of nu metal..."

"Nu metal?" Gabe asked, "Who's your favorite?"

"I like Deftones, System of a Down, Kittie, Limp Bizkit... just to name a few..."

"Oh man, I love Deftones," Ryan spoke.

"Yeah? What's your favorite album?" I asked. He thought for a moment.

"I think Koi No Yokan... or maybe White Pony... oh, and there's also Saturday Night Wrist, Diamond Eyes..." I smiled.

"Dude, I do the same fuckin' thing..." He smiled back, "Been listening to Diamond Eyes a lot recently..."

"Oh man, that's such a good album..."

"I know, right!?" He then leaned forward so Gabe could hear him. As he did this, his fingers lightly brushed against mine. Oh look... my monthly dose of human touch... can't wait to overthink it when I get home...

"Hey, Gabe, don't you have Diamond Eyes in here...?"

"Yeah, I should. Pete, can you..." Gabe pointed to the glove box. Pete then began rummaging through it until he found the album. He stuck it into the CD player and turned the volume up. Quietly, I hummed along as I had done in my bedroom, but then turned to Ryan.

"Thank you..."

"Yeah, no problem..." He gazed back out the window, but my eyes lingered a moment longer before going back to my own window.

That was really sweet... he's really cute... I wonder if he did that because he likes me... no... oh my god... I can't... I always fucking do this... just because someone is nice to me does not mean that they like me... this is why I don't go out...

I gazed at the boy once more. The colorful lights reflected upon his face, making him look even prettier than before. His brown curls were the only thing that could perfectly compliment his matching brown, childlike eyes. I then found myself pondering the idea of telling him how pretty he was but before I could make a decision, the car erupted with laughter, and brought me back down to earth.

"Y/n, what's going on with you?" Gabe asked.

"Huh?"

"You've just been really quiet..."

"Oh, I dunno, I'm not all that interesting..." I explained, "Why did you guys bring me along, anyways? I mean, it's not like we're really friends or anything..." Gabe shrugged.

"It was Ryan's idea." Oh...

"Well uh, I'm not really all that fun. I spend most of my time in my bedroom. I don't really have any friends," I spoke, then corrected myself, "I mean... I do have friends... they're just... not great..."

"Why's that?"

"I dunno... they're just assholes I guess..."

"Well I mean," I gazed at Ryan as he spoke, "You can always hang out with us if you'd like..." I sent him a smile before pulling my gaze away.

"Thank you..." Just as they began talking again, the riff played. Sex Tape by Deftones, one of my favorites.

"I love this song..." I spoke.

"Me too..." Ryan said. Gabe then turned up the volume and rolled down the windows. Warm summer air poured through the car. Instinctively, I sang along at almost a whisper. My hand stuck out the window and did the same motions as I had done in my bedroom.

"The sound of the waves collide..." Ryan sang along, "The sound of the waves collide... tonight..." I caught him staring at me. He didn't seem to care. Am I being delusional?

A similar sense of euphoria carried through the car that I had felt before. Through the warm summer air it traveled, creating a feeling I never wanted to let go of.

Ryan's eyes stuck to me throughout the whole song. Even when my gaze shifted, I could feel him looking at me in a way I had never been looked at before. At this point his interest in me became so prevalent I could feel it in my bones. Or maybe I am delusional...

The vehicle came to a stop at a gas station. Gabe and Pete immediately jumped out of the car and ran inside, leaving Ryan and I alone. I gazed around, confused.

"They wanted food..." Ryan explained, seeing my expression. The music still played quietly, giving Ryan and I some sort of background noise to our now awkward state. Ryan's gaze stuck to me as This Place Is Death began. I gazed back at him. Those brown eyes had suddenly become incredibly intriguing.

Before I could speak, he came close to me. Is this a dream?

His face was inches away from mine. I just stared into those eyes as I had no idea what was about to happen.

No one else has a hold over me...

His lips finally met mine. It felt as if my heart had exploded.

Like you do...

My fingers ran through those pretty curls of his. His hands held me close as our lips went back and forth against each other's.

You open up the covers...

His hands were so warm.

You lure me in...

My body became warmer.

Tackle me anxious...

His fingers became tangled in the fibers of my shirt.

Back into bed...

My skin became tense.

Where I hope to...

His warmth began to break away.

Discover all of your ways...

"Are you okay?" He asked.

This place is death...

"Yeah..." It seemed as if my years worth of involuntary celibacy had finally come to an end. Yet I still felt the effects of the touch starved nature I had become so accustomed to.

"You sure? You're shaking..." of course I'm fucking shaking... I'm always fucking shaking!

I yanked on his shirt, slamming his lips into mine.

Where are we at in the song? Oh... beside me every night...

His body was pressed against mine. At this rate I'll be set on human touch for like... five years... hahaha...

Just you and me...

"Ryan... you're really pretty, y'know..." I spoke quietly.

We explode...

"Yeah?" I nodded, he smiled. My hands cupped his cheeks before kissing him once more.

Through the scene...

Back and forth we went.

We try to drink the night...

Over and over.

In every...

Until.

Way...

The song ended. Loud bangs were heard against the car window. Ryan and I pulled away, finding Gabe and Pete hitting the glass while making idiotic faces.

"Damn..." Ryan spoke under his breath.

"Get the fuck off each other! This is my car! Please don't fuck in my car!" Gabe cried. Ryan pulled away. Damn...

Gabe opened the car door and began scolding us like children. Pete stood there with a disappointed look. We just blankly stared, or at least, I did. For all I knew Ryan could have been completely focused on what Gabe said to us. But I found myself thinking about Ryan's hair that perfectly complimented his eyes.

"Hey! Hey!" Gabe snapped his fingers, "Are you even listening to me!?" I smiled and shook my head. He flung his hands in the air out of frustration.

"Hey, I told you..." Pete began as the two stepped away.

"They're acting like parents..." I remarked with a grin. My gaze fell to my legs as they dangled outside the car.

"They're so lame..." Ryan came close to me once more and kissed my neck from behind. My hand held his face and ran up through his hair. The grin I held grew significantly.

"I really like you Ryan..." I spoke against his skin.

"I really like you too- Ow!" We hadn't even noticed Pete and Gabe's presence until Gabe shoved Ryan off of me.

"Not in my car!" Gabe cried, "I am not cleaning that shit up man. C'mon Y/n, you can sit in the front. I'll take you home."

"No way!" I cried, "I'm good back here."

"Yeah I don't think so. I really don't wanna have to listen to you guys sucking face," Pete chimed in.

"We won't!" Ryan insisted, "We won't do anything..." The two boys gazed at each other. Eventually they decided to give up and get back into the car.

Ryan and I gazed at each other. Almost immediately our fingers intertwined. I couldn't help but smile the whole ride back. Once we got to my house Ryan and I found each other standing on my front porch.

"I uhm... I understand why you invited me out tonight now..."

"Did it really take you this long?"

"Well no, at first I thought I was being delusional..." He chuckled.

"Delusional? Really?"

"Yeah, but I guess I was wrong..." I smiled, "A good thing to be wrong about I suppose..." He leaned in and kissed me.

"I can't wait to see you again..." He spoke as if he were in a trance.

"Me too, I'll miss you..." We exchanged smiles.

"Hurry up!" Gabe cried from the car.

"Oh, uhm..." I began, "I guess I'll..."

"Yeah..." We stood for a moment in silence. I kissed his cheek and spoke at a low tone.

"I had a really good time tonight... maybe next time it should just be the two of us..." 

"I'd like that..."

"Hurry the fuck up!" Pete yelled.

"Smell ya later loser," I blew him a kiss as I finally went inside. My back was leaned against the door as I sighed, "Damn... what a night..."
