The Secret Life Of Granegan (boyxboy)

Chapter One

Author's note:
There will be a change in the style of writing, half way through the chapter. This is because I'm taking the content straight from what happened between Gracious and I when I joined wattpad and the italics will be narration.

Donegan knocked on the door to Gracious' house. It had once been his as well. That was six months ago, and he hadn't seen or had any contact, with Gracious since. He expected Gracious to hate him, he had left him, without any warning or information. He'd just written a short note, and left out his bedroom window. He hadn't even bothered to take any of his stuff with him aside from his phone, wallet, the two were-frogs and a small picture of him and Gracious.

Gracious opened the door.
When he saw Donegan his eyes widened and he staggered backwards.
"D-Don..?"
"Gracious."
Then there was silence. They both just stood there, Gracious staring at Donegan in disbelief, waiting for him to vanish as he couldn't be real, and Donegan preparing to be punched in the face.
Neither of those things happened.
Gracious rushed forward and wrapped his arms around Donegan in a tight hug.
"It's you! It's really you!" He had tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry." Donegan whispered, hugging Gracious back, tears in his own eyes.

--ten minutes later-

They were both seated on the couch.

Gracious: I still can't believe you're back.

Donegan: I'm sorry I even left, partner in crime? Brother? Weird person?

Gracious glared at him.

Gracious: You called me weird.
We made a vowel we would never speak of those people. It is law, Bane.
Abide by the law and you shall receive waffles.

Gracious offered him a plate.

Gracious: To which I have made for you because for christ's sake what took you so long to turn up!

Gracious attacked him with a hug.

Donegan: Argh! Gracious! I've already gotten enough hugs from you! I don't need more!

Donegan hugged him back.

Donegan: Ok maybe I do. Also, can I have those waffles?

Gracious: Am I not worthy of your time, Bane? SIX MONTHS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO SHOW UP.

Gracious huged him tighter.

Gracious: Aw I like hugs...

He smiled and offered the plate to Donegan.

Gracious: Yeah sure.

Donegan: thank you! I LOVE waffles! I'm sorry I was away for so long, but at least I'm back? You can stop hugging me now... if you want...

Gracious: Nah no problem dude, I missed ya, It's okay... I've been through a bit actually, dated Val for a while but.. Nah dude.

Gracious furrowed his brow before grinning and resting his head on Donegan's chest.

Donegan: I talked to Aurora on the phone earlier, she said you were 'distraught' while I was gone.

Donegan ruffled Gracious' hair before sighing and whispering;

Donegan: I missed you too. A lot.

Donegan hugged Gracious tightly, patting his head.

Donegan: you dated Val? How did that go for you?

Gracious: It went.. Well It went brilliantly at first.. Took a while before we were comfortable and we were together for ages. We got to the point really where we started discussing families and she well.. She can't give me one so she wanted to leave. I of course wouldn't let her do that and the relationship continued. But um.. One day she just left... And I never knew why...

Gracious grinned, going a little red.

Gracious: Things have been tough. I've needed you...

Gracious hugged him back, nestling his head in the crook of Don's neck.

Gracious: The werefrogs started breeding by the way..

Donegan: well I'm here for you now. And I don't plan on letting you down again.

Donegan pat the other man's head and turned a bit red himself.

Donegan: You.. you wanna go to lunch together sometime? I found this really cool India restaurant where the owner changes the hat he wears every time he comes out from behind the bar! And the music is Bollywood stuff and they have these TVs showing Bollywood music videos! Sorry I'm rambling a bit...

Donegan blushed bright red.

Gracious grinned widely and nodded, pulling Donegan into another tight hug.

Gracious: I'd love to, mate. Gives us a time to catch up...

Donegan: That'd be great.

Donegan smiled awkwardly.

Gracious looked down at his feet then up again at Donegan.

Gracious: Y-you never did tell me why you left...

Donegan sighed, running a hand through his hair.

Donegan: Could we not talk about this now?

Gracious: Fine. We can just keep acting like you never left me and that everything is normal!

Gracious snapped, sarcastically.

Donegan: Gracious...

Gracious: No! Don't 'Gracious' me! I'm sick of your games! Is it too much to ask why you were gone for 6 months?! I didn't get a single word from you! Not a visit, not a phone call, not a text, nothing! Zilch! You left without warning, leaving everything behind, including that note, which was not at all useful! I spend most nights reading and rereading it to see if there was some special code so that I could find you. I had no idea why you'd left me or where you were or if you were even alive!!!

Donegan looked down at his hands, tears in his eyes.

Donegan: I-I'm sorry...

Gracious: Is that all I get?! 'I'm sorry'!?! That doesn't cut it Donegan! Tell me why you left me!

By this point, both men had tears streaming down their faces.

Donegan: I-I can't.. It's for your own good...

Gracious: For my own good!?! I've been worried sick! I asked anyone and everyone and no one had a clue where you were! Do you have any idea how much I missed you?!

Donegan: yes.

Donegan whispered.

Gracious: No! No you don't! Because you didn't even think about the effect leaving would have on me!

Donegan lost his temper.

Donegan: How would you know!? You have no idea how hard it was on me to leave in the first place!

Gracious: If you were unhappy living with me, you could have just said so!

Donegan: I wasn't unhappy, I was just lost! Confused!

Gracious: Why didn't you talk to me about it then!?!

Donegan: I couldn't...

Gracious: Argh!

Gracious stood up, clenching his fists.

Donegan: Can't you just accept the fact that it's none of your business why I left!?!

Donegan stood up, towering over the shorter man, but Gracious was still more intimidating despite his height.

Gracious: HOW THE FUCK ISN'T IT MY BUISNESS?!

Donegan looked away from him. He didn't have an answer to that.

Gracious: YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW! JUST FUCKING TELL ME WHY YOU LEFT ME!

Donegan: NO!

Both men were yelling with fists clenched.
Gracious was the first to make a move, lunging at Donegan, swinging a punch at is face.
It hit Donegan in the jaw and he cried out in pain.
Donegan lost his balance and fell to the ground.
As he fell he grabbed onto Gracious and pulled him with him.

Donegan: WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH!?

Gracious: WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME!?

Gracious punched him in the face again and blood started streaming down from Donegan's nose.
Gracious seem to have realised what he'd done and quickly stood up.

Gracious: D-Don..? I'm sorry...

Donegan leapt to his feet and charged at Gracious.

Gracious: Donegan! Please! I'm sorry!

Donegan ignored him and shot a blast of energy at him.
Gracious staggered back.

Gracious: Donegan! Stop!

Donegan: I LEFT BECAUSE I HAD TO! IS THAT NOT REASON ENOUGH FOR YOU!?!?

Donegan glared at Gracious, energy crackling in his hand.

Gracious: Donegan. Please stop. I didn't mean to hurt you. I regretted it straight away. Please don't do anything you'll regre-

Gracious was cut off by Donegan throwing another ball of energy at him, knocking him off his feet. Gracious flew across the room and hit the back wall, hitting his head on a table as he fell to the ground, unconscious.
