Author's Response: Thank you! Ryan is such a complex character (well, like most of the characters on the show), and the relationship between him and Kelly is so much fun to write. :)

I love this, how he really likes how she is and doesn't quite realize it until it all goes away. Well done!

Really nice job keeping them in character and making them sound like themselves! Ryan/Kelly stories aren't generally my favorite thing to read, but you've done so well with this. I love the line about when her fever breaks in the night and she starts to snore -- that's such a funny Kelly thing that seems to really just fit. Thanks for this!

Oh Ryan and Kelly - how can I love you so when I don't even really like Ryan usually???
But I totally do 'cause you made me.
This was all sorts of awesome.

You showed perfectly that Ryan can't help himself caring, even if he doesn't want to show it. They oddly work as a couple. That was a great story.
“No…I don’t want you to get sick too.” She squints up at him, pale and sweaty and…he kisses her. He kisses her properly and moves her aside so he can lie next to her, settling his arm around her and pulling her close, skin hot and smooth. and his retying the bow are just perfect.

You really have captured that "assholish" quality of Ryan's. I'm glad he finds her silence discomforting. At least he sort of appreciates her sometimes!

Wow...perfectly in character.

Oh god, I love love love your Kelly & Ryan. So them and so ridiculous and all around fantastic. So many many good details, but I think my favorite was Ryan ordering the flowers and then couteracting it with lots of boy stuff. Oh, and the cold water, which I'm still laughing about.

That. Just made me aw. I'm a huge fan of Ryan and Kelly stories and this one I think might just take the top spot of ones I read. You totally hit Ryan on the head, him trying to make excuses for his sweet behavior, but really, he was sincere. So great. Another please? lol

I love how reluctantly sweet Ryan is to Kelly here.

He looks at her subdued face, forehead covered in sweat, eyes huge, and he thinks he might have just RSVP’d for his penthouse suite in hell.
Best, most perfect line in a Ryan/Kelly fic EVER. And Ryan asking for the ribbon with glitter is just priceless.
I am so happy you posted this tonight, because this makes me happy, and your writing in general makes me happy.
Because she does amazing things to him, sometimes.
Oh, Ryan.

Awwwww YEA RYAN AND KELLY. You brought the nicest side to Ryan which is so great. I really think he is a lot nicer to her than we're led to believe. I mean, he let her put a candy cane on his nose and feed him fries! There's something not right there! The boy ... has it bad.

That was fantastic– I love the Ryan/Kelly dynamic, and you captured it so perfectly. We all know he likes her deep down!
And what a beautiful visual, the short glass with the roses. Wonderful!
