3rd person POV

"Come on Spirit! god damn it."
Clay shouts to his stallion, galloping at the speed of light trying to make it to the lake, where the blonde thinks his soulmate resides.

passing the clearing, where Clay found George the first time he went running away with ranger, at least this time he went willingly. It was a beautiful scenery, Aqua blue waters surrounded by big, healthy trees and colorful bushes, the mud from the rain dried up and grew soft green grass.

Though.. something even more beautiful to the blonde sat with his feet in the cooling waters, with his steed laying down close by. Clay sighed in relief as he finally got to see the brunette for the first time in weeks.

'you got this..' The man mumbled to himself as he slowly waddled over to George, whom was still oblivious to the newcomer stalking towards him.

"George?" Clay's voice cracked as he spoke, nervous as shit. He spooked the older, George whipped his head back to see his dreams and nightmares standing next to him.

"Clay!? Why are you here? How did you find me.." George eyes the boy out, sour faced as he checks Clay out.
Still not a fan, but inside George was hoping the blonde would turn up eventually.. his prayers were answered.

"Can i stay? or erm..should i go? i have apology sweets.." Clay slowly shows the picnic basket he was hiding behind himself. George thinks about it, this was the perfect time to talk, maybe yell, and he was very hungry.. curse his growling stomach.

"Stay." A man of few words, Clay thought to himself as he clumsily set everything down.

George cracked a smile looking at all the goodys Clay brought, maybe he was serious about this. Don't jump to conclusions.. the brit pondered silently.

"I wasn't sure which you preferred the most..so I might've bought all your favorites" Clay smiles sheepishly.

"Well it's the thought that counts..thank you." George looks up at him, he could really tell the younger was guilty, his eyes glossed over.

"George.. I'm really sorry about what I did, the reason behind it was really stupid, I blame my stupidity. I really do like you— wait no not like I uhm.."
Clay began rambling, trying to get those three earth crushing words out. George took his hand.

"How about you explain from the beginning, I want to understand your thought process." George wouldn't say he forgave the man already, but he's almost there, no guy George had a fling with ever did this for him, usual they just ghost him, but hey? they lost.
George just wants to know why Clay did it, Understand what was going through his head, maybe if George heard Clay side he would find it easier to forgive him.

So Clay spewed his story again, George just listened. The story was as stupid as the blonde said it was, George did in fact blame his stupidity and ego. But the brit couldn't hold a grudge against Clay for that? everyone has troubles with coming out, or coming to terms with who they are..

"Being in the closet is hard, I understand it's nerve racking for you, but why fool me like that? I thought we could try it out, take it slow." George said, talking some sense into the boy.
