Miracle- Noah Sebastian (SEQUEL TO THE GREY)

(A/N: I am SO sorry for the gaps between updates. I have honestly found it difficult to feel okay with writing this since they are becoming more vocal and aware of how viewing them in a certain light is uncomfortable and I want this to be built on a foundation of respect, which is funny since we're getting back to a point of being a little disrespectful lol. Anyway.... here.)

*Sutton's POV*

I stretched as I woke up, noticing that the way too big felt empty. I took in my surroundings, discovering that I had rolled over to my own side and he was still asleep; we were just so far away that I could barely tell he was still here. I chuckled to myself, thinking about how this would be a married couple's dream, closing the gap between us to make him the little spoon. He immediately stirred at the contact, relaxing into my touch more and his breathing showing that he was definitely awake. 

"Good morning," I murmured in his ear. 

He wrapped his hand around mine, my arm being around his waist. "Good morning, beautiful," he said with a clear smile on his face. We stayed like this for a while, just enjoying each other's touch and company. I took it as a time to reflect on how incredible last night was, and how much he did for me. I feel guilty at times for how much he and the band have done for me; they have quite literally changed my life emotionally and financially, and I will never be able to repay them. He must have felt my mind going crazy because he turned around and kissed me sweetly. He pushed my hair out of my eyes, trying to gauge my thoughts, but knowing me too well. "Hey, you know I love you, right?" he challenged, as he does often; it really helps ground me. 

 "Of course," I mused. He smiled and kissed me again before pulling me close to him. 

"So, not to pressure you, but we kinda have a full day planned."

"Oh?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah," he said with a bashful chuckle, sliding out to get dressed, just throwing on a t shirt and jeans.

"What are we doing?" I challenged, knowing it was going to irritate him.

He sighed dramatically. "Suttonnn, you never let me execute my surprises," he whined as he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. I laughed, throwing on some denim shorts and a t shirt with Vans.

"Should I do my makeup? Can you tell me that at least?" I taunted. 

"Only if you want to, we will be... active today," he advised carefully. I noticed it was 10 am, and I have no idea what he has planned. I decided to do just a little bit based off of gut feeling. I brushed my teeth and threw on deodorant and perfume, declaring that I was ready. We grabbed some quick breakfast on the way out, mostly grabbing yogurt and fruit. We went to his car, him being careful for me to not see his phone, so naturally I dramatically looked out the window the whole way, pouting. He noticed and laughed at me. "I promise that it's going to be fun."

"I believe you, I just hate surprises," I pouted. We pulled up to Griffith Observatory, us fighting to find parking but eventually succeeding. We got out and he came over to my side first. 

"So the entire time you have lived here, you have never been able to be an LA tourist, so today is the day," he said with a chuckle. 

I kissed him reassuringly before putting my mask on and him following suit. "You're so cute, that sounds fun." He grabbed my hand and we began walking, it feeling surreal to see the Hollywood sign from most angles. It didn't feel quite as packed as I expected, but it was a Tuesday and people are still really cautious about COVID; we are too, so this is our first big outing since everything started. 

We walked in and got our tickets; it was immediately incredible in here. There is an incredible mural on the ceiling when you first walk into the lobby that felt angelic that symbolized all of the astrology signs. As you walk around, there's a ton of different displays of the planets and how they affect our daily lives. They had also had a bunch of displays of different pieces of technology that go into space exploration.
