Chapter I: Gracefield House

The lady I fondly call Mom...is not my Mom.

The children I live with...are not my siblings.

This is Grace Field House, an orphanage, & I'm an orphan.

Or so I thought.

Hello guys, it's me, Ray. It's been a while, probably 2-3 years now? That's sorta disappointing, but I decided to only do one book of TPN with a Ray x Male reader. Now as for explanation as to why I'm suddenly making this book now is because believe it or not, it's hard to get over the fact that I created Two traitors in love: Book 1, & finished it but not the second book.

So as a way to sort of redeem myself, I'm creating this book for my male & trans reader's entertainment since I know how hard it is to find a good Ray x reader book nowadays.

I sincerely apologize for letting down my past readers, & hopefully if some of you are still into TPN, especially the 1st season, allow this to be my redemption gift for you guys, but enough excuses, without further delay, enjoy the story of M/n, 12194.

It's a beautiful morning in GraceField House, the sun is shining, everyone's asleep having delightful dreams. Until it was disrupted once the clock hit 6 O'Clock sharp...

The house begins its day with the ringing of a bell & a loud, booming voice saying, "Everyone, wake up or you're going to or late for breakfast!"

Having heard that, many started to wake up, while some kept sleeping in, not wanting to leave their warm bed & sheets, one of those people was M/n. He continued to cling onto his bedsheets & moved his head further into his pillow, but much to his dismay, the sheets were pulled off of him, leaving him to shiver from the lack of warmth.

"C'mon M/n, it's morning already, wake up! Now's not the time to be sleeping beauty, y'know?" The same loud & energetic voice said, & with that, he finally opened his eyes & met the figure of a girl staring at him with a huge smile plastered on her face, it was none other than Emma.

"Sometimes I wonder how you're so energetic in literally 6 AM in the morning..." The (h/c) boy mumbled, letting out a sigh as he knew he had no choice but to wake up, he is one of the oldest in the house after all, work needed to get done.

"Oh don't be so dramatic, c'mon get up!" Emma ushered as she moved away from the boy to give him enough space to get up, & started helping the little kids to get ready for the day. The boy groaned quietly in annoyance but sat up nonetheless once she was away.

He let out a yawn & stretched before standing up, making his bed & started getting ready himself, but had to help out a few children get ready as well since he couldn't say no with their pleading expressions on their faces.

Once he was done with doing a few side quests & got himself ready, he started heading out the room with all his siblings & headed downstairs to start eating breakfast. Once he was downstairs, he was greeted by Don & Conny, more of his younger siblings, he let out a "Good Morning, you two." Before continuing to greet more of his siblings.

And finally, he made it into the dinning room, he began to immediately help out & got busy. A few moments later, he heard a loud commotion, he turned around to see what it was & saw Emma with Phil on her back, accompanied by Thoma & Lannion, as well as Norman & Ray carrying things to prepare breakfast.

"Mowing!" She managed to say since Phil had his hand at the side of her mouth. "Norman! Ray!" Both males having heard their names being called turned towards her, one with a genuine smile & the other with a teasing look.
