Ryze could not help but sigh a little when he heard Brand talk about wanting to surprise him and that was one thing that tending to be hard when it came to his powers.  He hated seeing some things, or knowing when some things are going to happen, but if it makes Brand happy he was sure he could act surprised.  Ryze knew that many times when it came to his own personal ups and downs he didn’t see things that were coming.  Ryze found himself lacing his fingers with Brands while they were talking, “Brand there is no one that I trust with my life more than you.”  Ryze said as they kissed again.<br/><br/>If Ryze wanted to enter a contest for kissing he was sure that Brand and him would win the contest hands down with all the kissing that they were doing.  It was almost like they were trying to make up all the time they were denying their feelings for each other.  Ryze gave out a cute yelp when Brand picked him up off the floor they were leaning against the wall.  “Man I really want to stay home.”  Ryze commented again knowing that they couldn’t.  “To be honest I don’t think you would let anyone else touch me anyway.”  Ryze said with a laugh.  “Brand you better put me back down or we are never going to get out of here.<br/><br/>Ryze had Brand had finally made it out of the room and downstairs to where everyone else was at, even though they kept trying to talk each other out of going downstairs.  Ryze of course kept trying to seduce him into staying, but as soon as he threatened to have him in the doorway Ryze backed off a little not wanting others to see their moments.  Ryze was not looking forward to being around the other guys because they always harassed him about his powers, but Brand always had his back and now there was more between them officially.  For a moment he forgot about being downstairs once Brand played with the package that was getting way to excited in his pants.  “Really, really Brand you can unwrap me now.”  Ryze said trying one last ditch effort.  Ryze could not help but roll his eyes because he still did not think he was the best present, but he loved Brand.<br/><br/>When they had finally made it downstairs Ryze had stood behind Brand while once again he defended him.  Ryze sometimes wished that he could stand up for himself but he was a wimp when it came to that, maybe one day.  Ryze snuggled in close when Brand had come over and placed his arm around his shoulder.  So when they headed out to the car Ryze took a nice deep breathe.  “You are the only one who thinks I am perfect, Hell I don’t even think I am perfect.”  Ryze said just as he grabbed the handle as Brand sped away to the park.<br/><br/>Once Brand made the speech they all headed off in directions to where some of the kids are.  Ryze leaned over and whispered to Brand’s ear, “Why don’t I project coldness and ice over their fires.”  Ryze’s laughed a little, “Maybe make them think they are freezing.”  Ryze said as he followed Brand around a group of trees when he saw a few of the boys.  “Brand, they look like they are no older than 10.  James better not hurt them.”
