~ Seth ~


This isn't fun anymore. I know very well that Gray is avoiding me and it's driving me crazy. Why doesn't he want to talk to me or even come near me? It can't be because he ended it with Randy, can it? Oh, wait. Of course it can. It's Gray.

But it doesn't make sense. Apart from the kiss we shared, I didn't do anything. There's no reason for him to do anything to get out of my way and pretend I don't even exist. To be honest, I'm sick of it. After everyone's gone to bed, I sneak out of my room to confront him, but Pat, who's sharing the room with me, quickly calls my name before I can leave. "Seth, where are you going?"

"Gray."

"Oh, have fun. Maybe you can get him out of his slump. He's been very absent. More so than usual at least."

"You don't say," I mutter. "See ya."

Pat waves me off with a smile and I quickly head over to Gray's room. On the way there, I pass Elija and Mikael's room and I'm not even surprised to hear sounds coming through the door. I shake my head with a laugh. Horny bastards.

When I knock on Gray's door, it's Estelle who opens up. She looks me up and down and asks, "What's up? D'you need Gray?"

"Yes, I need to talk with him. Is he here?"

She merely motions for me to come in and the first thing I see is Gray lying on his hotel bed with earbuds in, which explains why he didn't hear me come in. I'm sure he would have hidden in the bathroom if he did. He looks up in surprise when I'm standing beside him. Slowly, he pulls out the earbuds and stares at me with wide eyes and his mouth slightly open, as if he's about to say something, but he doesn't say a single thing.

Ah, fuck, why does he look so... adorable?

"Gray, we have to talk. Please."

"O-okay." He slowly gets up from the bed and follows me out of the room. "Where are we going?"

"I don't know. Does it matter?"

"No, but... Never mind."

"Follow me then. We can— I guess we'll just ask Pat to leave my room, so we can talk in peace there, 'kay?"

He nods, nervously glancing around.

Why is he acting so weird? I really feel like I've done something wrong, but I can't remember doing anything that could have made him this upset. I honestly can't think of anything! There was only the kiss—which I didn't even initiate—but we already talked about that, so I don't see the problem... I don't fucking get it!
