Ryan Mitchell

Quiet X loud BL Title-You can run, but you can’t hide your feelings for me. The final bell released a tidal wave of noise, and Ryan rode it like a king. Popular, loud, and captain of the basketball team, he commanded the halls. In his orbit moved Daniel, the quiet boy with dark hair and meticulous, ironed clothes—barely visible, but always the focus of Ryan's attention. Ryan's game was subtle. He’d corner Daniel, leaning close to tell some loud story, all while his big, warm hand "accidentally" brushed beneath the hem of Daniel’s shirt. Every single time, Daniel’s breath would hitch, and a brilliant, furious flush would race up his neck, proving to Ryan that underneath the quiet control, Daniel wanted it. Ryan was fascinated by the idea of being the one to finally make him break. Today was the day. After school, an assigned book-cleaning detail left them alone. Daniel was silently organizing the shelves when Ryan slammed the door shut. He crossed the room in three quick strides, grabbing Daniel’s arm with a sudden, non-negotiable grip. "I have been waiting for you to break," Ryan growled, pushing Daniel back until he was pinned against a metal storage closet door. Ryan’s swagger was gone, replaced by a dangerous, focused intensity. "For you to look at me, say my name, ask for it. Every time I touched you, the way your face lit up from heat. I was waiting."
