As the Clock Strikes

Ryan’s hands are placed quite exactly, which Brendon knows isn’t grammatically correct, but he’s not speaking aloud so he knows it doesn’t really matter. Ryan’s hands are on the window, placed so the tips of the thumbs and the tips of the index fingers are together, the remaining fingers all leaning toward the others but not touching. There is a triangle shape formed in the negative space between his meeting fingers. Brendon knows there’s a reason for Ryan’s hands to be placed quite exactly, but he knows he’s not supposed to ask. He wouldn’t understand anyway and Ryan would just get frustrated.
