"I can't believe you're still pissed off about what happened"
You said, walking in your apartment, closing the door behind you.
"Who says I'm pissed" he mumbles, sitting down.
"Uhuh Yea right"
You roll your eyes, crossing your arms.
"Anyway, we have to find my brother"
"Do you know where he currently lives?"
You asked, sitting down.
"New Jersey" he replies
"What? That's like an hour away"
You groan.
"Call him up then, damn"
"And say what?"
Ethan stops to think for a minute
"Tell him to come pick up some of his things that I might've kept and haven't told him about."
He said and you just went with it.
"Do you still remember his number?"
You ask
"I may be mean to him at times but I'm not that cold to just forget his number, what kinda person do you think I am?"
You roll your eyes, standing up.
After Ethan gives you the number, you decide to call him through your phone.
Couple of rings later he picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, uh Grayson right?"
"Yea. Who's this?"
"Im Y/N, I uh bought your brother's apartment, a few days ago and..there's some stuff here that belongs to you and your family, thought maybe you can come over and pick them up?"
"Oh..uh yea give me 2 hours, I'll be there to pick the stuff up."
"Thanks"
You end the call and look at Ethan
"What?" He asks confused
"Nothing" you shrug it off, but for some reason all of this is just giving you a weird feeling.
What if Ethan does finally leave and go to heaven or whatnot, maybe you don't want him to leave, maybe you enjoy his presence around you and in this apartment...maybe you sort of developed feelings.
You sigh sitting back down.
Ethan follows and catches up to your sudden change of mood.
"Hey let's watch a movie" he suggests
"I guess we can do that"
He gets up and looks through his collection, looking for a comedy flick to cheer you up.
"I'll make some popcorn"
He says, before putting in the CD and pausing the movie before it starts.
See what I mean?
~~~
By the end of the movie, you hear a knock on the door.
"Shit your brother is here"
You said, getting up and brushing off the leftover popcorn on your shirt.
You walk over to the door and open it.
A young man with brown hair and brown eyes, smiles at you.
"Hi" he says, still smiling
"Hey you must be Grayson"
He nods, and you open the door stepping out of the way to let him in.
He looks at the popcorn on the coffee table and the now paused movie.
"Oh sorry if I interrupted your movie sesh"
He says, sort of embarrassed.
"What? Oh no it's totally fine. We just finis- uh I mean I just finished it"
You said, scratching the back of your neck.
He just nods his head, looking around the apartment.
"Still looks the same" he mumbled to himself but you heard him.
"Oh yea when I bought the apartment they just randomly gave me the furniture with it, thought it was weird for someone to leave all of their stuff here for no reason and sell it."
You said, looking at the furniture and decoration.
He suddenly walks over to something hanged up on the wall.
"I can't believe he still had this"
He said holding it in his hands, observing it.
It was some sort of stick for sports I guess(I don't know anything about sports) that you had no idea what it was called.
"We used to play sports with each other when we were little." He explained, smiling to himself still holding it.
Ethan was standing next to you, looking at Grayson with a sympathetic look.
"I didn't think he would miss me this much.." Ethan said, still looking at Grayson.
"Well now you know" you accidentally said out loud.
"What?"
Grayson asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh uhhhh now you know that..he cares."
Your sentence was all jammed up together that it wasn't making sense. Grayson just looks at you confused.
"Honestly, Ethan is hard to handle at first, as he can be annoying at times, childish and stubborn. At the end, I found out that he's a great man. I mean yea he acts like he doesn't care, but truly he does care. He's carefree, funny and knows how to cheer anyone up. if only we met.."
you said and Grayson gives you the same look Ethan gave him a few mins ago.
"I think he would've liked that.. I mean pretty girls were his type"
he said, trying to lighten up the mood.
"..he does have a point there"
Ethan said quietly, coughing after to hide what he said.
You smile at Grayson, going back to the reason he came here for.
"So uh do you need help packing the stuff?"
You asked, politely.
"Yes please"
he answered, grabbing the empty boxes you left nearby.
You both sit down, packing the stuff while starting small convos here and there, taping up boxes and leaving it by the side of the door.
He picks up a photo of Ethan and smiles
He shows you the photo of young Ethan and you smile.
"He hasn't changed a bit" you said. And Grayson raises an eyebrow.
"I mean from the photo I've seen of him in the kitchen"
You covered up quickly, and Grayson shakes his head chuckling.
"You're weird" he said and you couldn't help but smile "
tell me something I don't know"
~~~
Grayson walks to the door, holding the now full boxes.
"Thanks again and sorry for taking up your time by helping me with these"
He motioned over to the boxes.
"Oh no worries really. Glad I could help"
You smiled, and he nods his head in appreciation.
"Goodnight" he said already heading out the door.
"Drive safely" you said and he smiles.
"Will do"
You start to close the door but then you hear him calling you.
You stick your head out the door
"Yea?"
"Would you maybe..uh like to go out sometime?"
He asked, grinning whilst holding the boxes.
"Uhh" you stopped not knowing what to say.
"Say yes dumbass!" Ethan said next to you
"Uh y-yea uhm I'd love to"
You stuttered, smiling nervously and he chuckles.
"Great, I'll text you" he said and you nod.
You both finally say your goodbyes and you walk back inside.
"So are you gonna tell me why you want me to go out with your brother?"
You asked, looking at Ethan.
"Easy, you both go out and you're going to bring up the subject about us and he'll open up to you eventually by the end of the date, and then we can solve it and then boom..I'm in heaven"
He explained, casually
You sigh, sitting down and he follows behind.
"What's wrong?"
"..nothing I guess. Just never thought you would leave"
You said and he huffed
"Wow rude much? Don't worry I'll be out here before you know it"
"No you idiot. I didn't mean it like that. I mean it'll be weird living here without you. Believe it or not..you make my life more..exciting? I should say"
He weakly smiles at you
"Yea I know I'm awesome"
You both laugh
"To be completely honest with you..I do love hanging out with you. I know we met like a week or so ago but it feels like I know you my entire life"
You smile looking down
'What are you waiting for? Just tell him how you goddamn feel about him'
you thought to yourself.
"You should probably go sleep, you look exhausted"
He said, already walking to the bedroom.
You get up and follow him, but before going to the bedroom you head to the bathroom to remove your makeup and change your clothes into comfy ones to sleep in.
Once you walk in the bedroom, you already see that Ethan fixed the bed for you and lowered the lights so you can sleep peacefully.
"Sucks that you can't sleep"
You said and he shrugs
"Actually got used to it"
You get under the covers and already feel yourself drifting off to sleep.
Ethan quickly noticed so he stopped talking so you can get some rest.
"Goodnight Y/N"
"Goodnight Eth"
That's when you drift off to sleep.
