A/N: Extremely short Ryan/Seth one-shot, mostly just for the heck of it. Opinions are great;y appreciated.

Seth had pulled Ryan into an empty classroom with all the gusto of a small child and all the stealth of a large duck wandering through the city and eating everything in its path. Ryan heaved a sigh and took a moment to be amazed by Seth's strength, for once.

"Wasn't that just so James Bond?" Seth blurted, filled with a glee that Ryan had thought was reserved only for Christmakkuh mornings.

"I wasn't aware James Bond was in the habit of pulling people into classrooms," Ryan responded, and Seth could just hear the sigh in his voice.

"I meant the stealth, man, the stealth!"

"There was no stealth, Seth."

"Wait to burst my bubble, happy boy. You are just the bringer of all that is good and sweet in this world, like puppies and rainbows and-"

"This can't be why you pulled me into a classroom," Ryan interrupted.

"What, my wonderful company isn't enough for you?"

"Seth…"

"Okay, okay…" Seth ran a hand through his hair. Ryan was appropriately nervous because Seth was, and it took a lot to make Seth genuinely nervous and not just his usual babbling, semi-nervous self. "This is going to be suitably awkward."

Ryan was actually afraid. "What is it?"

"You know how you can come to me for advice on anything, and, you know, I can come to you for advice?"

"Seth, it would be great if you could get to the point."

"Well, I've been having these dreams lately…"

"About what?"

Seth looked at him, then out the window, then at the floor before he answered. Ryan did not like the look of the situation. "You."

Ryan was quiet for a moment. "Ah…I see how this could be…awkward."

"Yeah. So anyways, I just…Um, well, I kinda had it on my mind and it's a little weird seeing you all the time when I'm having dreams about you and I just wanted to, tell you…Though, looking back on it, it doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore, really." He paused, and then looked up at Ryan. "Ryan?"

"These dreams were…" Ryan gave him a questioning glance.

"Uh, yeah, hence the awkwardness."

"That's…"

"Seriously messed up? I know. I mean, you're like a brother to me, only, well, not so much in the dream world, for obvious reasons, and even past the brother thing, you're my best friend! So, yeah, definitely seriously messed up. And I am really regretting telling you this…" He trailed off, glancing at Ryan and Ryan's sudden nearness. "Uh…?"

"Do you ever shut up?" Ryan asks, exasperation obvious even in a whisper.

And Seth Cohen, in the boldest move he as ever made, since, well, admitting to Ryan that he was having sexual fantasies about him, says "Make me." And Ryan does.
