Donald Na X Gravy [And Other Short Stories]

Sons From the Future Part II

After Donald had lost to Ben, the Union collapsed. Eugene managed to wake up a few days later.

"EUGENE!" The Eungang hugged him tightly.

"Where's Gray?" Eugene looked around, confused by the absence of one of his friends. 

"Eugene, you missed some fucking crazy revelations," Rowan quickly told him. "Gray's actually from the future!"

"Huh!?" Eugene wondered if he was still unconscious or was hallucinating things. He pinched himself but felt the slight pain and realized he was actually awake. "Are you guys pranking me?"

"No," They shook their heads.

"That's not all," Gerard added. "Gray is the son of Donald Na and Kingsley Kwan. His best friend is Ben and Alex's son who also traveled to the past,"

"Uh..."

"The Time Agency revealed all of this during the fight with the Union," Ben informed. "Then they had to bring Gray and Stephen back to the future. Also, I won against Donald Na,"

"WHAT!?"

"We both got hospitalized since it was a brutal fight, but I won," Ben grinned. "I'm the new Number One in the rankings!"

"Wait, so are we never gonna see Gray ever again?" Eugene asked worriedly.

"Our phones are still connected to his so we can still text and call him," Teddy started a video call.

"Hi Eugene," Gray greeted. "How are you feeling?"

"Gray!" Eugene exclaimed. "Are you really Donald Na's son from the future!?"

"Yeah," Gray nodded. "Since Stephen and I somehow got trapped in the past, we kept a low profile. We had no place to go since we technically don't exist yet in your time period and ended up in the foster care system. We both fortunately were still nearby each other and attended the same middle school. Stephen ended up being comatose because of those motherfuckers!"

"Gray, calm down!" Stephen placed a hand on his boyfriend's shoulder. "We are not murdering anyone!"

"Alright, you and I won't kill Oswald Yang and Bryce Oh," Gray smiled. "Hey Ben, wanna commit murder?"

"Gray!"

"Those fuckers must pay for putting my son in a coma," Ben agreed.

"If Stephen really is our future son and someone put him into a coma, then yeah we need revenge!" Alex added.

"Dads, stop!"

"I never really intended to be friends with you guys," Gray admitted. "But then I somehow got dragged into the group,"

"There's something I'm wondering," Eugene asked. "Gray, I only become friends with Big Ben and the others because I was your seatmate and friend. How did I become friends with them in the original timeline?"

"Oh, I can answer that!" Future Ben popped into the frame. "Actually, we were never friends with Eugene in the original timeline,"

Gray stared at him and furrowed his brows. His expression then shifted to one of realization and horror.

"Are you alright?" Stephen asked.

"I'm...the reason Eugene got beat up..."

"What are you talking about?" Eugene asked. "Gray, you didn't cause me to be targeted—"

"Because you and I became friends...I helped you with the science competition. Your device caused you to be targeted by my dad. If I had never befriended you...if I had never interacted with you...if I had never helped you..." Gray trembled as tears threatened to fall. "You wouldn't have gotten hurt..."

"Gray, it's not your fault!" Future Ben said. 

"Gray, it's not your fault!" Ben tried to calm his friend down.

"I should've never became friends with anyone while trapped in the past!"  The guilt tore at Gray's chest.

"Gray, it's not your fault," Eugene parroted.

"Is Gray crying!?" The rest of the Future Eungang entered the room. 

"He's blaming himself for his dad targeting Eugene," Alex informed.

"Gray," Future Eugene gently approached him. "It's not your fault. Please don't blame yourself. Because you were my friend, I ended up also befriending Ben and the others. If it weren't for you, I'd have spent all my high school years alone and being bullied. I'm glad you're my friend, Gray, and I don't regret it at all,"

The entire Future Eungang hugged Gray.

"It's kinda weird how we're technically older than Gray," Teddy commented.

Suddenly the front door was kicked open. "Who the fuck made my son cry!?" Future Donald demanded.

Future Jawbreaker stood beside him, ready to kick and break jaws.

"Technically you did," Gray glared at him. "Apologize to Eugene!"

"You're still mad about that?"

"Eugene's my friend!"

"He's too old to be your friend. He's twice your age!" Future Donald pointed out.

"You know perfectly well that I'm still going to visit them in the past," Gray said. "Eugene is my friend and you owe him an apology!"

"If you force me to apologize, it will be an empty one," Future Donald reminded. "Because I genuinely don't feel apologetic. Come on, let's go home. Kingsley's almost done with dinner,"

Gray flipped him off.

"And you're grounded," Future Donald picked him up with ease.

"Put me down!"

"You're actually pretty light and a bit too thin for someone you're age," Future Donald commented. "You should eat more,"

"You and Pops were the ones who put all my attribute points to my intelligence instead of my physical abilities like strength, durability, and endurance!"

"Bye Gray!" The Future Eungang waved. "See you later!"

"Why are none of you helping me!?"

"Because he'd call the cops on us for kidnapping again,"

I might make a Part III.
