A/N- this is my first fic, so feedback is appreciated greatly.
*************************************************************
When Brendon was a boy he loved to play the piano. He still does. Brendon’s mother had always thought her little boy would be in a religious band. Something wholesome and fun, something to praise God.
Brendon’s mother was always a bit of an idealist.
*
Brendon believes in God.
Ryan thinks he is God.
This is maybe why Brendon has stayed for so long.
*
Brendon can tell when Ryan is lying, has always been able too.
Brendon grew up in a church; he knows bullshit when he hears it.
Brendon lets Ryan lie to him, it’s familiar. What does he need truth for anyway? Truth gets you kicked out of your home at 17. Truth gets you strange looks and long pauses. Brendon has never seen what’s so good about truth. Brendon is ok with being lied too; he grew up in a church.
*
His mother always had dirt on her knees from kneeling down to pray.
After meeting Ryan, Brendon has dirt on his knees for reasons that have nothing to do with virtue.
*
Ryan is the best liar Brendon has ever seen. (Pete doesn’t count; everyone knows Pete is lying even if they don’t know about what yet).
Ryan says that the girls don’t mean anything.
Ryan says that Brendon is his voice; Brendon is the most important thing to him.
Ryan says the girls are good publicity.
Ryan says a lot of things.
*
When Ryan talks Brendon forgets his Sunday morning prayers. He forgets the smell of the old church he ran around in as a kid, he forgets his mother singing in the choir, he forgets the look on his pastor’s face when talking about the sins of homosexuality.
When Ryan talks Brendon forgets a lot of things.
*
'If the scene were a parish, you’d all be condemned'
Ryan is never as subtle as he thinks he is.
*
Brendon does play in a religious band.
His mother never did specify which religion.
And if she knows that Brendon has replaced the god she prays to with one a little closer to home, she never mentions it over dinner.
