Three months passed and Ryan could finally say that he was happy. He had a loving boyfriend, a loving family – he no longer cared that the family he called his own consisted of Troy and his parents and a great group of friends. Every now and again he would miss his actual family but then Troy's dad would call him son, Troy's mum would cook him a fantastic meal, and Troy would kiss him reminding him that nothing else mattered. He had made things up with Sharpay, they weren't best friends and their relationship wasn't as tight as it once was, but they talked and in some cases even went shopping together. Ryan loved his job, and he was glad that he now had more than two pairs of jeans and two clean tops, even though something of Troy's was always with him, at work it was one of his wrist bands but at school and around the house it was always one of his jumpers. Ryan had made Troy wear the jumper he had borrowed that first night for a week because his smell had gone. Troy didn't argue he smiled and wore the jumper making sure it smelt of him again before giving it to Ryan.

"Troy," Ryan smiled at his boyfriend who was doing his home work next to him, Ryan had made it a habit to do his work straight away because he couldn't do it on the nights he worked.

"Yeah, baby?" Troy asked looking up from his maths work.

"Will you help me do something for your parents?" Ryan asked, after all that was one of the reasons why he had got the job in the first place, so he could repay his new family. He already knew how he was going to repay Troy and hopefully that was going to be on the same night as his family.

"Sure." Troy grinned. "What have you got planned?"

"Well... I sort of have been saving up to show them just how much they mean to me." Ryan began. "Well I was wondering if I could get them tickets to a basketball game, I know your dad would love that."

"He would!" Troy smiled enthusiastically. "but the tickets are expensive."

"It doesn't matter." Ryan smiled. "And like before or after depending on the time maybe a romantic meal together at a nice restaurant?" Ryan asked. "I mean your mum would like that too."

"Yeah she would, but you really don't have to do it."

"I know, but I just want to and your mum isn't taking any money for me staying here."

"My mum doesn't want it your family, Ry."

"I know and families do nice things for each other, so I'm just repaying them." Ryan smiled. "So I need your help with you know the basketball tickets."

"Okay we'll go on line now." Ryan smiled in thanks and they headed over to the computer. Troy booked the tickets for a Friday night, the game was at six thirty and would be finished for nine and Ryan said that they could have the meal after, because in his mind he didn't want them home too early.

"Okay, so this Friday." Troy smiled. "My mum's going to hate you and love you for this."

"And your dad?" Ryan asked nervously.

"Dad's going to love you, and pretend to hate you when really he'll be excited about the game." Troy laughed. Ryan grinned and told Troy to do his homework so they can cuddle and watch a film before bed.

Ryan had prepared everything, he booked Friday off and was looking forward to giving everything to Troy. It had been five months since he had been raped, and he knew he would never really be over it, even though he didn't think about it every day it was still part of him but he knew Troy wouldn't hurt him. So he was going to make Friday special for both of them, as well as Troy's parents.

When Friday came around and Ryan had told his new parents what he had done, Troy was right. His mum had frowned saying he really didn't need to do that but thanked him, and his dad was extremely excited which caused Ryan to smile, he knew he had done the right thing. So when they had left, he had headed to the kitchen and he pulled out the takeaway he had secretly ordered from an Italian takeaway and put it in the microwave. It wasn't exactly romantic, but as Troy played video games, Ryan lit the candles on the table and made the room look a little more romantic. When it was done he served the food and placed the plates next to each other and grabbed the rose he had brought along with the takeaway and put it in a vase. He smiled at his own cheesiness but called Troy in.

"Ryan... you did... wow." Troy was slightly amazed that Ryan had done this without him knowing.

"Like it?" Ryan asked nervously. Their relationship was not exactly romantic, after all a date for them was dinner at a fast food place and trip to the cinema or staying in and just being with each other.

"I love it." Troy grinned. Ryan smiled and held out Troy's seat. "A true gentleman, mum will be pleased." Troy joked causing Ryan to chuckle, he sat next to him. Troy took his hand on top of the table. "So what's the occasion?"

"Do I need an occasion to show you how much I care?" Ryan asked.

"No." Troy blushed.

"Well I sort of just wanted to say thank you." Ryan smiled. "And... well... tonight I was hoping..." He was blushing now, he couldn't really find the words he wanted to say. "I wanted to show you how much you mean to me. And well I guess I'm ready."

Troy was silent for a moment, he took in Ryan's words and smiled. "Are you sure?"

"Positive. I know you're not going to hurt me." Ryan said strongly.

"Never." Troy promised. Ryan smiled and they started to eat, both anxious about what was going to happen later that night.

After they finished their dinner, Ryan and Troy cleaned up the kitchen Troy took the vase with the rose in and put it in his room once they headed upstairs. "Tonight was amazing, Ry." Troy smiled as he wrapped his arms around Ryan's waist.

"I'm glad you liked it." Ryan smiled, he had been extremely nervous about whether or not Troy would like it.

"Loved it." Troy said, he leaned in and captured Ryan's mouth in a slow kiss. Tongues melted with each others and they held each other. Neither one wanted to break the kiss but when they needed air, Troy was the first to break it. Breathing heavy they stared into each other's eyes.

"Are you sure you want this?" Troy asked as Ryan pulled him onto the bed.

"More than anything else." Ryan said as he kissed Troy again, this time the kiss was a little more desperate, showing Troy just how much he wanted it.

Troy laid back so Ryan was on top, they kissed for what felt like hours because there was no need to rush this, tonight was about taking things slow. Tonight was about them and making love. Ryan kissed along Troy's jaw line, he slowly took off Troy's shirt smiling at the chest he knew so well. He kissed patterns along his muscles, and tweaked his nipples with his fingers loving the noises Troy was making. Troy wrapped his arms around Ryan and turned so he was on the bottom. Troy did the same to Ryan; kissing, licking and biting patterns along the pale white skin he loved. When Troy got to Ryan's trousers he looked up at him, as though he was making sure this is what Ryan wanted. When the blond boy nodded Troy nervously undid Ryan's zip, slowly pulling the tight jeans down. He stared at the proud erection through Ryan's trousers. Troy took off his trousers too and leaned against Ryan kissing him softly as they moved their bodies together creating the perfect friction.

"You're amazing," Troy whispered as he ran his hands between their bodies.

Ryan stared up at Troy and smiled. He wasn't scared like he was the last time he had been in this position, Troy's touch was perfect and made him feel at ease with everything. Troy slowly started to pull down Ryan's underwear, when Ryan was completely naked Troy pulled down his too, kicking them on the floor with the rest of their clothes. They rubbed against each other again, skin on skin making their bodies burn with passion and desire.

"I need you in me..." Ryan moaned, because he was close. Far too close and he didn't want this to be over yet. Troy nodded suddenly nervous. "Lube is in the draw." Ryan smiled, he had brought it specially for tonight. Troy nodded silently grabbing the lube and condoms.

"I don't..." Troy blushed.

Ryan smiled. "It's okay," He smiled again, it was Troy's first time having sex with another man and Ryan understood his nerves. He rolled the condom on Troy who moaned slightly at the touch. Ryan opened the lube and sat back, he grabbed a pillow and put it under his hips. ."Do this, okay," Ryan said he put some lube on his fingers and pushed against his hole. Troy moaned at the sight but nodded and put lube on his fingers, he followed Ryan's fingers and rubbed against him. Ryan moaned at the touch, pushing on Troy's fingers. Troy added two more fingers, moving them around slightly. "Okay, stop..." Ryan breathed heavy. "Need you in me now."

Troy didn't say anything, he just put more lube on his hand and then rubbed it over his leaking cock, he moved slightly so he could push in easier. When Ryan felt the head of Troy's cock at his entrance he pushed forward eagerly as Troy pushed in. It hurt, and Ryan screwed his eyes shut. He was scared now. He was full and complete and Troy was perfect but he couldn't... his mind was flashing back and he was breathing heavy.

"Ry..." Troy said noticing Ryan's shaking body. "Ryan open your eyes please." Troy begged. He didn't want this to happen. When Ryan opened his eyes, Troy smiled. "It's just me, baby. Just me."

"Troy?" Ryan breathed.

"Yeah baby, it's me okay. I'm not going to hurt you." Troy said it took a lot of effort not to move. Ryan was hot and tight around him, and it was impossible.

"Sorry..."

"Want me to stop?" Troy asked as he moved his hips just a little. Ryan shook his head.

"Make it feel good again, Troy." Ryan pleaded. Troy nodded and took one of Ryan's hands and held it as he slowly started to move in and out.

Within a few thrusts Ryan was moaning in pleasure as Troy discovered Ryan's prostate, once the basketball captain realised the pleasure it caused he made an effort to hit against it with every thrust. Troy was breathing hard and moaning loudly, Ryan felt incredible. They were moving together and Troy took Ryan's cock in his hand and started to pump it in time with his thrusts causing Ryan to moan and push against him harder.

"Troy... I'm going to..." Ryan moaned Troy's name loudly as his body shook with orgasm, his toes curled as he experienced pure bliss shooting his hot seed over his chest and Troy's hand. Troy rode Ryan through his orgasm, watching his lover so high made Troy come hard inside Ryan. Once he came down from his own orgasm he collapsed on top of Ryan and slipped out of him gently.

"Mm..." Ryan sighed as he rolled over so he was wrapped around Troy, not caring about the mess he was causing, they could shower lately.

"You were amazing." Troy smiled. "You okay?"

"Perfect." Ryan smiled. "Sorry about..."

"Don't be. You were amazing." Troy repeated, he kissed Ryan softly on his lips and watched as Ryan slowly fell asleep in his arms.

Troy stared at the wall in front of him and smiled. Ryan had finally finished the picture of them, it was fully coloured and framed so Troy could see it when ever he woke up. He smiled. Under the picture was photo's of the two together, some with their friends, over on their own. Troy couldn't help but grin, they looked so in love and he smiled at the sleeping boy in his arms and he just knew that they were going to be that much in love with each other for the rest of their lives. Because with each other they finally got their happy ever after.

The End.
