So you had a bad day

Summary:

“Hey, Colt? Why’s there a video of you crashing out at some conference in Europe?”

Colt has kept his brother and Tom Ryder apart for a reason. When Tom finds a video of Ryland crashing out hours after it happens, he decides what better way to get to the bottom of things than to steal Colt’s truck and take matters into his own hands.

Or: The one where Tom makes his move, accidentally-maybe-technically-kidnaps-Ryland, and Ryland is oddly charmed.

Notes:

Author’s notes: … I might have started with one little drabble (again) and come up with a little line of ridiculousness for these lil’ guys. Counting writing this as a b r e a k while working on my new long fic 😅 10 parts over the next 10 days.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

“Hey, Colt?”

Even across the set, Colt’s sigh was audible. Beneath his breath, he muttered, “What the fuck does he want now?” 

“Why’s there a video of you crashing out at some conference in Europe?” Tom asked, holding his phone up as the stuntman approached. Colt frowned.

“What do you mean? I’m here with you right now, clearly that can't be–” Colt swallowed as a familiar figure threw his hands up in the air, face red, hair in disarray. “Excuse me.”

Slipping outside, Colt pulled up the group chat. 

Colt: A staggering waste of carbon? Really, Ry?

Ryland: Shut up.
