George's POV

It was a bit later that next day. We didn't do much except from taking a rest for now after everyone's muscles were sore from yesterday. When it was two pm, my dad stood up and smiled.

'Do you guys want to come with us to the Eiffel Tower?' he looked at Clay and me and then back at my siblings.

'Sure,' Clay said with a smile. 'My muscles are very sore from yesterday though.'

'There's a lift which can bring you to the top, if I'm correct. And you don't have to go to the top if you don't want to.'

'I'm down,' Clay said. 'I've never been there.'

'I've been there twice,' I said. 'It's pretty cool. I even went to the top with my fear of heights.'

Clay smiled. 'I'm proud.'

I had a shy smile fill my face and then stood up to walk to my dad who was preparing to go to the Eiffel Tower. 'It's an hour drive,' he said. 'Are you car sick, Clay?'

Clay shook his head. 'I'm totally fine.'

My dad nodded and grabbed a few bags as my mother went to the kitchen to prepare some food for us all. While everyone was preparing, Clay and I went upstairs with the excuse that I wanted other shoes to wear today.

Clay and I sat down on my bed instead and he scooted closer to me as I realised I wanted to surprise Clay with the laptop today. Since I couldn't carry it all day, I decided to give it now.

'Clay, I have a surprise for you which you're probably really going to like. I bought something for you and my dad installed it all so it works.'

Clay looked a bit scared and surprised as I walked to the place I hid the laptop. My dad installed everything and also bought Minecraft for Clay so it was immediately ready to play.

I grabbed the laptop, holding it behind my back as I walked closer to Clay. As I sat down next to him, I showed him the laptop we bought. He didn't realise it was for him at first. I waited for a reply, but he stayed quiet as he waited for the surprise to come.

'Clay, this is the surprise.'

'Isn't this your laptop?'

I smiled and opened it. 'This is a laptop my parents bought for you with Sapnap's and my money in that one store a while back.'

Clay's mouth fell wide open and he looked shocked. 'No, wait what? A laptop?'

'For you,' I said with a smile. 'To make it even better, I also bought Minecraft for you.'

Clay didn't say anything, but his eyes filled up with tears. Within a second he completely bursted out into the most tears I had ever seen and he clung onto me.

'Thank you so much, George. How can I thank you enough?'

'You don't have to thank me, I love to make you happy.'

'I have a way to thank you in mind, I'll tell you this afternoon.'

'You don't have to.'

'But this is something we will probably both like. George, thank you so much. This means so much to me.'

'It's fine, Clay. I love to see you happy.'

Clay opened the laptop and looked around for a little.

'Once we come home from the Eiffel Tower, we can play Minecraft together if you want.'

'I would love to,' Clay said with a smile.

He had the brightest smile on his face ever and pulled me in for a tight hug, pressing soft kisses on my neck and my jaw. 'Thank you so much.'

'No problem,' I said with a smile.

Clay very quickly pecked my lips and smiled. 'I'm so happy,' he said as he stood up and jumped because of happiness. 'You're the greatest person alive.'

I just smiled as we walked downstairs and Clay had a lot of energy. He was running around with a big smile and once we were in the car, he cuddled up with me as he looked up and smiled. 'I'm actually so happy, I've always wished to play Minecraft with you. Is this not a joke?'

'No, of course not,' I said.

Clay nodded and let go of me to sit straight up again. He grabbed my hand for the rest of the car ride and once we were finally at the Eiffel Tower, he started running around, hugging me.

'I have a surprise too, but I only want to say it when we are at the top and alone.'

'Okay,' I said with a smile. We went to the Eiffel Tower and apparently my parents and siblings wanted to take the stairs. Clay took that as the opportunity to be alone with me and we took the lift so we could be at the top first.

We just sat down in the lift as we waited to finally be on top of the Eiffel Tower. I was very excited for what Clay was going to tell me. I had no clue of what it could be, but he said I would like it. At least, he hoped that I would like it.

My siblings and parents would take a long time to walk the stairs so we were going to have a pretty long time together. Since I was scared of heights, Clay promised me to stay close to me and to hold me tight when I got scared. We would just sit down and not focus on the view.

I took a deep breath as we arrived at the top. Luckily I didn't find it as scary as I thought since it had big fences around it so I couldn't fall. I just stayed away from them as I sat down next to Clay. He seemed to be a little bit nervous and grabbed my hand, looking in front of him.

I just stayed quiet and waited for him to speak again. I was really curious about what he was going to say.
