Spencer glares at Ryan, who is slowly turning purple and clutching the table to hold himself up, his body shaking with laughter, and decides that he really, really needs a new best friend.

"So, wait, wait," Ryan holds up a hand and tries to calm down before starting again. "So how does one accidentally ask someone out?"

Spencer rolls his eyes "Fuck you, okay. It was an accident," and Ryan is honest to god cackling now, tears streaming down his face. Spencer usually welcomes Ryan's laughing, but really he just wants to punch stupid Ryan in his stupid face.


"No, really, I really want to know," Ryan stutters, sucking in deep breaths and attempting to calm down. Spencer groans and rest his head on the lunchroom table. He never should have said anything to Ryan. He should have just pretended that he had a family thing on Friday night and Ryan would have never had to know that Spencer had accidentally asked Brendon Urie on a date.

"Fuck you" Spencer mutters. When he moves his head to catch a glimpse of Ryan, he's folded over, clutching his side and laughing like an idiot. Spencer really hates Ryan sometimes.

***

The thing is, it's not the dating boys thing that Ryan finds funny. It's the dating this boy. Brendon Urie is the geekiest kid in school. He's in every possible club, plays every single instrument known to mankind plus a couple that he and Jon Walker: Hot Photo Guy invented. He's in drama club and has starred in every single school play and musical since the sixth grade. He's dorky and clumsy in a really graceful way, which makes no sense but it's true, and he wears these stupid black framed glasses and fucking mittens and ok, maybe Spencer has a bit of a crush on him. Maybe.

Plus Brendon spends almost as much time in detention with Jon Walker: Hot Photo Guy as he does in all of his clubs, and that's where Spencer first met him.

Spencer had been given detention because Ryan had texted him about how algebra was oppressing his creative freedom and Spencer had forgotten to turn his phone on silent. Usually Spencer could have talked his way out of it, but he was in English at the time and Ms. Johnson was legendary for her hatred of anything invented after the 19th century. So Spencer had wound up with a week of detention and a warning letter being sent home.

He'd walked into detention and Brendon had been there, his desk pushed up against Jon Walker's while they appeared to be discussing something requiring a lot of hand holding and giggling. Spencer's stomach had twisted because Brendon was smiling at Jon and then he had caught Spencer's eye and he was still smiling and Spencer was hit with this sudden urge to like, kiss him or bite his lip or something and instead settled for blushing and walking into the corner of a nearby desk. Which really fucking hurt and was totally embarrassing, but nowhere near as embarrassing as the look Jon Walker had given him.

Jon Walker: Hot Photo Guy is a senior and as far as anyone can tell is Brendon's bff. No one really knows how that happened because Jon is all hot and popular -and did he mention hot- and the general consensus was that Brendon, whilst also hot, was kinda the polar opposite of Jon and all of Jon's friends. Legend is that on the first day of school, Brendon had sat by himself at lunch when Jon had walked by and heard Brendon humming a Disney song under his breath, and they had been inseparable and like a blinding hot force of nature ever since. They always ended up in detention for stupid shit like setting the Bunsen burners on fire in Science, which Brendon and Spencer both took with seniors, or when Brendon had knocked over an entire stack in the library, which no one even knows how happened (rumour was that a pineapple had been involved) but somehow both Brendon and Jon ended up serving like a month of detention for it.

So Spencer had sat down and pulled out his math homework and attempted to get some work done. Unfortunately he was distracted by the fact that both Brendon and Jon seemed to have, like a deal or something with Mr. Clarkson, who was in charge of detention,that allowed them to do pretty much so anything they wanted, so it was kinda hard to ignore the giggling and random outbursts of singing or shouts of "Ew, gross, Jon Walker you are such a freak", which when Spencer had tilted his head to take a look revealed Brendon rubbing at his ear and looking scandalised and Jon looking incredibly smug. It was incredibly unfair that they both got to look so hot, whilst acting like fools.

Spencer had managed to get through three days of detention without making a fool of himself or being caught out staring at Brendon like a total creeper. But then on Thursday, Spencer had been pulling his text book out of his bag, when Brendon had sat down in the seat next him and smiled, generally being a total hot ass, and said "Hi."

Spencer had swallowed, his brain had totally shut down and he'd stuttered out a "Hi" while trying not to blush. Needless to say he had failed miserably and he could hear Ryan laughing at him in his head.

"You're Spencer Smith, right? We're in Senior Science together?" Brendon had asked and Spencer had nodded, trying to hide the fact that he was quietly freaking out, and ignored the fact that Brendon was still smiling and like, looking at him and still being so unfairly hot that Spencer kinda wanted to cry or kiss him. Spencer could remember a time when he wasn't a total fucking girl. Those really had been good times.

"Cool. So hey, can I sit here?"

"Where's Jon?" Spencer stuttered and his Ryan voice started howling with laughter and he could feel the blush creeping across his face. Awesome.

Brendon had winked and bent so that he could whisper in his ear "Jon Walker is AWOL, Spencer Smith. It is our mission should we choose to accept it -which by the way I did on your behalf, I hope you don't mind- to cover for the fact that Jon Walker is missing presumed stalking one of the kids on the lit magazine"

Spencer had repressed the shiver that Brendon's mouth being so close to Spencer's ear invoked and attempted a smile "How do you intend we do that?"

"Watch and Learn, Spencer Smith. Watch and learn," and Spencer had to look away because Brendon's regular smile made his stomach do a weird clenchy thing on a good day, but the wicked, shit eating grin that Brendon had turned on him right then, that was just too much for Spencer to handle.

It had turned out that Brendon had, like, this natural talent when it came to dealing with Mr. Clarkson. He was polite and charming and funny and the teacher had merely raised an eyebrow when Brendon had pretended to be Jon when he called the roll and shook his head. Spencer was impressed.

Brendon had at least waited until Mr. Clarkson had pulled out his laptop before he pulled his sidekick out and checked his text messages. Spencer had rolled his eyes, cast a glance at the teacher and then pulled his own out. There were three messages from Ryan.

Tracy Jcbson is kllng my soul. can kck her off mag y/y/mfy?

Spencer rolled his eyes and texted back N. will mke her cry & football team will beat you up.

The second read j.w hot photo guy is creeping around outside.

and the third was all in caps JON WALKER: HOT PHOTO GUY JUST SAID HEY TO ME. WAIT FOR ME AFTER DETENTION.

Spencer didn't get a chance to reply because Brendon had appeared up in his personal space again and he was still smiling at Spencer. "So tell me, Spencer Smith, you're friends with Ryan Ross, right?"

Spencer had narrowed his eyes and nodded and Brendon had held his hands up in defense, "No dude, it's nothing bad. It's just my friend likes your friend, Spencer Smith."

It was all pretty much so downhill from there.

***
Somehow Spencer had made it through Friday's detention, mostly because Jon Walker was back and he and Brendon seemed to be having a Very Serious Conversation, a fact that Brendon had pointed out to Mr. Clarkson when he had interrupted to take roll call.

Spencer was glad for the weekend; it passed in a flurry of video games and Ryan swooning over Jon Walker: Hot Photo Guy who, as it turned out, was Very Into Ryan Ross (and Spencer had wondered if everyone who spent time in close proximity with Brendon started talking with audible capitals) a fact that Spencer had pointed out to Ryan.

But then on Monday Spencer had missed the bus, was late to English and was rewarded with another week of detention. He spent the morning pissed off until Patrick Stump had told him about how Brendon had landed himself with a week of detention for doing victory arms when the History class had been shown Titanic and Jack had died. Apparently Miss Rosewall was a closet romantic. A week of Brendon cheered Spencer up, so by lunch time he was happy to listen to Ryan crap on about Jon Walker.

Brendon, it turned out, was actually really easy to get along with. He was smart without being a dick about it, knew everything there was to know about music and had a serious opinions on Star Wars. Which was why, when Spencer had found out about the local cinema playing the three original movies, his first thought was to tell Brendon about it. His second was most definitely not to stutter out an invitation for Brendon to see it with him.

He never made it to a third thought because Brendon had smiled this totally disarming smile and said "Dude, awesome. It's a date."

It wasn't until Spencer was halfway home that he had realised how unbelievably and totally fucked he really was.

***

Ryan is still laughing at Spencer after school and he mocks Spencer the rest of the way home. Luckily Ryan has to go straight home to spend some time with his dad before he leaves for work, so Spencer lets him have his fun, flipping him the bird when they part ways.

Spencer's mom is in the kitchen when he walks in and she's already set a snack out for him. Somewhere along the line she started worrying that Spencer and Ryan weren't eating enough and every afternoon became somewhat of a dictatorship, with Spencer's mom force feeding them before she let them go upstairs.

Spencer figures there's no time like the present to ask to go to the movies on Friday night. He sits across from her and looks down at his pile of Oreos. "Mom, can I go to the movies on Friday night?"

His mom looks at him over the top of her glasses. "Aren't you grounded?"

"What?" Spencer shakes his head. "No!"

Spencer's mom studies him, and Spencer stares back at her because he isn't grounded, okay. What the hell? "I'm positive I told your father to ground you. For all the detention."

Spencer deflates because that kinda fucking sucks. Being grounded and not knowing it? He never would have accidentally asked Brendon out on a date if he thought he was grounded. "He didn't."

"Well, there's a shocker. Your father is a great guy, but he kinda sucks at discipline," she shrugs, still studying Spencer like she's looking for something. "I guess you can go, then. Are you going with Ryan?"

Spencer looks down at his Oreos again and shakes his head. "Um, no? I'm going with Brendon?"

"Are you asking me or telling me? Oh wait, isn't he the kid that knocked over the History stacks in the library?" Spencer's mum asks with a small grin.

"How do you know about that?" Spencer asks, a little disturbed that his mother knows school gossip. She just smiles and replies "P+C meetings Spence. It's not all bake sales and fundraising. So is this Brendon, the best friend of Jon Walker: Hot Photo Guy that Ryan's been swooning over since the seventh grade?"

Spencer kinda wants to crawl into a hole and die or storm off because could his mom be anymore embarrassing? But he knows if he does it, his mom will stop him from going out, so he shrugs. "I guess so."

"Well, okay then. Do you need a ride?"

Spencer looks up at her and she's smiling and looking kinda smug and seriously, his mom is weird. "Um, yeah. Thanks."

Spencer lets his mom stare at him for a couple more minutes, then he grabs his Oreos and makes a run for it.

***
Spencer is freaking out. Spencer is naked except for his boxers and shoes and Ryan is being a total bitch. Spencer has no idea why he did this to himself, he's usually the responsible one, he's the one who thinks shit through, so why the hell didn't he think this through.

Fucking Brendon and his stupid fucking smile, that's why.

He pulls on jeans and a pink shirt that he bought the weekend before, partially because Ryan didn't like it but mostly because he liked the glittery mushroom. He glares at himself in the mirror and sighs. This is a really stupid fucking idea.

Spencer turns to Ryan. "Well?"

Ryan gives him a once over. "I'm pretty sure I saw a hooker wearing that shirt on the strip the other night."

"Yeah didn't I tell you, I lent it to your mom."

Ryan flips him off with a roll of his eyes. "You look good. I'd do you."

"Thanks."

Spencer looks at himself in the mirror one last time and sighs. "Well, here goes nothing."

***


Brendon is waiting for Spencer outside the movie theatre when Spencer's mom and Ryan, who tagged along for moral support (and the ice cream Spencer's mom promised him), drop him off. He is looking around and when he spots Spencer he smiles, his whole face lighting up - and Spencer's stomach does the weird clenchy thing again while he tries not to blush.

"They didn't make them like that when I was in high school," Spencer's mom says as he climbs out of the front seat and Ryan climbs over into the recently vacated spot.

"Ain't that the truth," Ryan tells her with a smirk at Spencer, who closes his eyes and wills the ground to open up and swallow his mother's car whole. Spencer sighs, waves and walks over to Brendon. He turns and glares at his mom and Ryan who both wave and laugh, then his mom pulls back into traffic and Spencer turns back to Brendon.

"Hey."

Brendon grins. "Hey, Spencer Smith. You look good."

Spencer doesn't even bother trying not to blush. "Thanks. You do too". He's not lying, Brendon does look good. He's wearing jeans and a hoodie and red framed glasses that Spencer's never seen before, and he looks even hotter than usual.

Brendon takes a step closer and tugs at the bottom of Spencer's shirt. "I like your shirt". Spencer's breath hitches when Brendon's knuckles ghost over Spencer's skin and Brendon is watching him carefully, so Spencer smiles, wraps his hand around Brendon's wrist. "We should get tickets."

Spencer pays for the tickets and Brendon pays for the food and they agree to split any extra food for the following movies. Spencer had been worried that Brendon would freak out and they'd end up arguing over who'd pay, but he just smiles and says "Sure thing, Spencer Smith". Spencer mostly ignored the somersault his stomach does every time Brendon calls him Spencer Smith.

They manage to get two seat with a broken arm rest so it's sort of like sitting on a sofa, except smaller. Spencer sits at one end and Brendon at the other, they put the food between them and Spencer tries not blush every time their fingers brush or every time Brendon laughs or, you know, breathes. Spencer spends more time watching Brendon watch the movie and ignoring his inner Ryan laughing at him than he does watching the movie.

By the time they're halfway through the second movie, both of them have migrated to the middle, all food gone, and Brendon is leaning against Spencer. Spencer can smell his shampoo and his deodorant and red licorice and Brendon is biting at his lip and all Spencer wants to do is kiss him, but Spencer's only ever kissed one person before and that was Ryan when he was 14. Ryan had been the one to initiate that and Spencer has no idea how he'd even go about kissing Brendon.

Brendon must realise that Spencer is freaking out because he nudges Spencer in the side. "You okay?"

"Yeah. Fine."

Brendon moves closer. "Do you want to bail? Go for a walk?"

"You don't want to see the rest of the movies?" Spencer asks. He would really like to go for a walk and talk to Brendon. Possibly it might cut down on the creepy staring.

Brendon shrugs and grins. "We'll just watch them another time. Come on dude. We'll get ice cream and go to the park."

Spencer smiles to himself at that and takes Brendon's hand when he offers it to pull him up. Brendon holds his hand until they get out into the cinema foyer, which is surprisingly full. Spencer gets it, he's not stupid and he knows that not everyone is Ryan or his parents. Not everyone is exactly climbing over themselves to be supportive of a couple of teenage guys on their first date. Still, he kinda liked holding Brendon's hand.

They get their ice cream and walk toward the park in silence. The sun set whilst they were in doors and everything is still, like it only can be at night. The street lights and the nearby stores provide them with enough light to see where they are going, and when they reach the park they sit down on the swings.

"So tell me, Spencer Smith." Brendon says and Spencer raises an eyebrow.

"Tell you what?"

Brendon smiles and it's one Spencer hasn't seen before, soft around the edges. "What got you all freaked out all of a sudden."

Spencer shrugs because he doesn't know. He knows, but how the hell is he supposed to tell Brendon? He can't just come out and be all 'Oh hey, I'm pathetic and want to kiss you but I'm a total loser and don't know how'. Spencer would kinda like to date Brendon more than once.

"Hey, I want to try something," Brendon says, pushing his swing to the side and holding on to the chain on Spencer's swing to stop his swing from moving away. Spencer turns his head so he can see Brendon's face and instinctively hooks an ankle around Brendon's leg, helping to hold him in place.

"Oh yeah? What?"

Brendon grins. "It's a surprise, Spencer Smith," then he moves forward and just like that, Brendon is kissing him. Spencer presses back, opening up for Brendon and then Brendon is licking into his mouth and Spencer completely forgets he was ever freaking out, forgets everything that isn't Brendon kissing him and him kissing Brendon.

Brendon breaks the kiss off, his face flushed and his lips swollen and Spencer thinks 'fuck it' and pushes forward again, capturing Brendon's mouth with his. The action startles Brendon, who lets go of the swing and flies back and then falls off.

Spencer looks down at Brendon, who is attempting to glare but is just looking really, really hot and cracks up laughing. Brendon rolls his eyes and starts to laugh, Spencer helps him up off the ground and just like that, all awkwardness is gone. Brendon tugs on Spencer's shirt again, slips his hand underneath so he's touching Spencer's skin and grins. "I really like this shirt, Spencer Smith."

Spencer presses a kiss to Brendon's lips and grins back. "I like you, Brendon Urie."

***

Spencer wakes up the next morning when his phone buzzes next to his ear. Ryan mutters something in his sleep and digs his elbow into Spencer's ribs when he rolls over. Spencer opens his phone and there's a text message: meet me at smoothie hut @ 1? i'll mke it wrth ur while spencer smith.

Spencer smiles to himself as he texts back can i bring ry?

Brendon's reply comes back quickly y/y/mfy. he can dstrct jwalk whle we make out.

Spencer lays back down, sets his alarm for 11, closes his eyes and dreams about Brendon.
