reunion;

author's note

let me begin with saying thank you for 1k reads omg!!! when i started writing i thought nobody would read it at all bc this doesn't have a lot of shippers like grethan or something and i'm probably the first one writing a serious book about it, so THANK YOU

second, i am sorry i didn't update because my chapter got completely deleted [[thank you wattpad]] and i really had alot of schoolwork so i didn't have time to write

third, to address the accidentally uploaded smut part for those of you who saw it.. it was kinda a joke lol, i didn't intend to put it in the story and the idea just popped into my head at that time so i wrote it down like an afterthought, if there would be smut at all it would be later but i honestly wanted to keep this clean

this chapter is completely rewritten from scratch *sigh* once again thanks wattpad, it won't be exactly the same as the original chapter but i tried.. 

∴ ∴

Jack opens his eyes to an arm falling in his direction, his breath is immediately knocked out of him when a certain someone lands on him, "Jack! I missed you, only friend as pale as me!" 

It's Aaron with his silly-sweet voice and he's attempting to tackle him off the mattress but it's more like he nuzzles into him, Jack doesn't budge from his place, it's due to the lack of Aaron's strength and bony build, and Jack just groans.

"Missed you too, buddy," he barely says and ruffles his hair. Aaron hangs around him like a koala, Jack is taller than all of them anyway. He half-smirks when he remembers how Grayson used to do that when they used to cuddle. 

"AAAH!" Ethan is on them too, Jack feels crushed now but he giggles. He's always been the lethargic one generally, but seeing his friends like this all over again makes his heart warm.

 He was the black hole. If he hadn't made up with Ethan and Grayson, Aaron never would've felt it right to come around here, and Alex- Alex is in a different world, he's a professional, doesn't give two shits about troublesome teens.. which they are.

Grayson's giggles sound through just then. It's funny how Jack can always recognize his squeaky laugh, it's the cutest thing ever and unique, he could find him in a crowd of people just because of it, like a cow's bell.

Grayson snaps a picture with a purple polaroid, a cute fan had given it to them during their 4OU Tour. Their cheeks are pink with laughter, there's a flash in their eyes though it's morning outside and Jack's eyes sparkle as he looks at Grayson.

  It isn't just the light. 

∴ ∴

They'd gone for a quick bike ride after they washed up and had, of course, Grayson's banana pancakes that everyone judged good except for Ethan. Grayson settled with sticking to Aaron, he was social anyway, bright and inviting to whoever spoke to him and he spent their outing that way, huddled next to Aaron and catching up on what was missed.

Jack can't say what was in him was a possessiveness, but there was something, a wave of heat in his belly that was slowly climbing up to his chest. It was building up, up and out and overflowing but he didn't know what it was, anger, ambition, jealousy?
