Excerpt:

“I left my book in here,” Ryan Ross said, hanging in the doorway, eyes huge and fixed on Brendon. “Um. Before lunch.”

“Of course you did,” Brendon said. Probably Ryan left stacks of personal belongings all around the school, just ready to be picked up as soon as Brendon was doing something particularly embarrassing in the vicinity.

Oh god, this is seriously the CUTEST FIC EVER, I’m not even kidding. GAH! I just love it to bits, OMG. *heart* Like, the first sentence, it totally killed with it’s awesome. Observe:

“I don’t know if I can actually handle being in the same room as Ryan Ross,” Brendon said, fluttering his eyelashes at Spencer. “I mean, won’t I spontaneously combust from his aura of sheer genius? What if he blinks at me and I immediately turn into a beam of light just to highlight his perfect hair?”

And, of course it just gets better from there. XP

Poor Brendon, keeps getting caught looking like a total dork by Ryan, LOL. I totally had secondhand embarrassment for him, lol. Usually that kind of squicks me, but this was just so cute and fluffy that it barely phased me — that is just how awesome it is. XD

I loved nerd!Spencer with his googles and general awesomeness because seriously, Spencer Smith is just awesome. And, okay, Brendon stealing magnesium strips and stashing them in his briefs? WIN. Ryan catching him in the act? DOUBLE WIN. This seriously has to be one of the best snippets:

“Um,” Ryan said. His eyes darted down to Brendon’s exposed strip of skin. “You have—”

Brendon waited. If Ryan was going to be that condescending, he was actually going to have to say magnesium in your pants. Brendon wasn’t helping him out.

“… never mind,” Ryan said weakly.

I love how Brendon catches the conversation between Ryan and Jon, lol. Payback for all the embarrassment that Brendon had to go through. XP I love that Ryan has been stalking Brendon because OMG, seriously?! I just want to squish these boys, LOL. And yeah, they are both just total freaks, OMG. Love it so much! Best last line EVER, no lie. *heartheartheart*
