    Summary

    Ryan is thanking every deity he can think of for his competitive streak, because otherwise, he would've lost his fine motor skills the second Chad checked him out, muscle memory be damned.

    ---

    "I Don't Dance" was my gay awakening 7 years too soon to realize it. Canon was a coward and didn't make them official so here's some decade-late wish fulfillment.

    Summary

    "But teaching me to dance was a highlight, right?”
    “It was,” Ryan said, sounding serious. Chad felt a rock drop to his gut. Chad had always assumed that Ryan kind of just tolerated him.
    “It was?” he asked.
    Ryan was quiet for a minute before softly answering. “Yeah, I mean.” A pause. Did Ryan expect him to know what that pause meant? “I used to have quite the crush on you, you know.”
    The rock in Chad’s gut exploded into a million butterflies.
    What?

    Or, Ryan and Chad get locked into East High overnight at their high school reunion.

    Summary

    Honestly, Chad didn’t understand how he became assistant stage manager. He sat in the house after school everyday until suddenly he was sitting in the wings instead, in charge of making sure everything moved where it needed to move, when it needed to move. It made sense to give him a job; what didn’t make sense was the fact he showed up everyday, despite having no interest in theatre.
    Despite the fact that seeing Gabriella and Troy stare into each other’s eyes as they sang songs about falling in love made him feel sick.

     

    Missing his best friend, Chad joins the production of Twinkle Towne, finding a new team and himself.

    Summary

    “And a little gay is important because you’re...” he tried tentatively, trailing off.

    “Gay,” Ryan finished for him, feeling himself slow down as his gut swam with anxiety.

    or:

    Chad and Ryan start talking when they’re left to carry the bags on the golf course during HSM 2 and the rest is history.
