Title: Moving in Circles
Pairing: Ryan/Colin
Rating: PG
Summary: Ryan's feeling guilty...


He sits in his chair while Wayne and Brad sing to a woman from the audience, and a glint catches Ryan's eye. He wants to look away, doesn't want to see, but it draws him like a moth to a flame -- Colin's wedding band.

Colin twirls and he twirls and he twirls, a nervous tick, a movement made unconscious, instinctual, over long years. The sight fills Ryan with guilt. He's the reason Colin twirls -- the truth hidden behind the lie of a happy family.

Ryan sometimes finds himself twirling his own ring -- when he remembers to wear it at all.
