The flat was silent. Very silent. With Brooklyn spending the night at Xavier's, and Lucas out with his university friends, Levi was relieved that none was around to hover over the two. He led a sluggish Grayson into his bedroom, and sat him on his unmade bed. Bending down, Levi planted a kiss on Grayson's forehead, and offered him a weak smile before he kicked off his own shoes, and shrugged off his jacket, letting it drop on the floor.
Levi dropped to his knees in front of his blue-eyed boy, and began to untie his shoelaces, "Do you want or need anything? Or do you just want to go to bed?"
"Bed. Please." Grayson rasped, his throat scratchy from the crying. His face was marred with tear tracks, and his eyes still dull. Levi nodded, and stood up. Taking off his jeans, he swapped his shirt for an oversized, old nike shirt.
"Come on, you can't sleep in your jeans Gray." Levi prompted carefully, wary about setting the older boy off. Grayson just stood up, and took his jeans off, as well as his own jacket and top, standing in his undies as he stared at Levi blankly.
Levi tried to offer the boy another supportive smile, before turning around to his wardrobe, and picking the comfiest hoodie he could find. Picking out a vintage Champion hoodie, Levi handed it to Grayson.
"I'll be back in a min."
Levi plucked his phone from his jeans and left, shuffling into the kitchen. He leant against the kitchen counter as he began typing.
*text message to Rosie*
Levi: Hi Rosie, just thought I should let you know that I found Grayson. He's staying in mine, will u tell his parents, and i'll call you tomorrow.
*text message to Jaxon*
Levi: sorry for just leaving, Grayson needed me. Tell the girls for me. At home now, get home safe.
He placed his phone on the kitchen counter and moved to the fridge, pulling out two bottles of water. The phone buzzed almost immediately with a response from Rosie
*text message from Rosie*
Rosie: thank you for finding him. I've let his parents know and they're gonna come pick him up tomorrow. I've passed them your number.
Deciding a response wasn't necessary, he grabbed the water and made his way back to his room. There, Grayson had put on the hoodie and was curled up in the far corner of the bed. Levi's heart hurt at the sight.
He placed the two waters on his nightstand, and got under the covers. Deciding to be the big spoon, Levi wrapped his arm around Grayson's waist. Levi snuggled into his back, planting a few kisses as he got comfortable.
"I missed you." The younger whispered against the back of the older's neck. Grayson just gripped Levi's arm tighter in response, unable to talk anymore. Levi felt emotionally drained from the events of that night never mind that week. Despite this, he struggled to sleep, even when he felt Grayson go limp and his breath even out. But he felt at ease with Grayson by his side, and that was enough.
