The next day, I woke up pretty early with loud knocks coming from my wooden door. I groaned as I walked towards it.

"I'm coming!" I yelled.

I swang the door open, to reveal a smiling Grayson.

"What" I groaned, dragging myself back to the bed.

He laughed. "Nice to see you too, Raine"

"Brought you some chocolate" He raised his hand, showing what he had bought. I smiled, and ran a hand through my messy hair.

"Thanks, Gray, you're so sweet, you didn't have to" I grabbed the paper bag and put it over the nightstand, beside me.

"So, today's Sunday, what do you wanna do today?" I asked yawning.

He didn't seem to have heard my question, for he was examining the empty beer cans over my desk carefully. The concentration look on his face as he looked at them was adorable I couldn't help but smile at him in awe.

"Gray" I called softly.

I grabbed his attention as he turned his head towards my direction, raising an eyebrow in the process. "Hm?" He asked, humming.

"Got any plans for today?"

He scratched the back of his head and walked over to my bed. He sat down in front, over to where my legs were and smiled non-cheekily.

"I wanna try that" He pointed to my collection of empty beer cans.

My eyebrows furrowed. "Gray, are you sure? Do you know what you're saying?" I chuckled.

He nodded, grinning.

"That's beer" I emphasized, raising my eyebrows as I looked over to him. "Beer" I repeated.

"Yes, I know, and I wanna try it" He said with such determination. I giggled. "Alright, alright. Just one sip. I don't want you becoming all addicted to that shit"

"Yes ma'am" He chuckled.

"Just wait here" I stood up and walked downstairs to grab a beer can from the fridge. Dom was already up and he was busy with a phone call, so he didn't get to see me.

I got back to my room soon, and threw the beer can to Grayson. His reflexes were good, since he catched it with a hand.

"There ya go buddy. Don't get too attached"

He opened the can of beer, and smelt it first. His face scrunched up in disgust, as he held the beer away from his nose.

His reaction made me crack a laugh. "I still don't know why you wanna try beer this early in the morning?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Why? Do people drink beer at night?" He asked innocently.

I giggled. "Not necessarily. But beer does definitely taste better when you're a little more awake" I explained, shoving a piece of chocolate into my mouth.

While I savoured the sweetness of the chocolate in my mouth, I watched Grayson being hesitant on whether he should drink it now or later.

"Should I?" He asked, laughing. He was both nervous and excited. I could see it in his face.

"It's up to you!" I laughed along.

"Okay" He whispered. "Okay, here I go, agh" He chuckled nervously, and poked the tip of his tongue into the can, tasting only a few drops.

He made a disgusted face, and stuck his tongue out, scrunching his nose up too.

"Eww!" He yelled as I laughed at him.

"Oh my gosh it tastes so bad!" He exclaimed, setting the can on my nightstand.

"It does not!" I giggled, grabbing it and taking a long sip from it. I sighed happily once I swallowed the salty liquid down my throat. "See?"

He made fake choking noises. "You're incredible" He shook his head at me, making me giggle.

"Thanks! Years of practice, buddy. Years of practice" I smiled proudly.

"Well, as much as I enjoyed seeing you try the beer, I gotta get up and get ready for the day. What do you wanna do now?" I stood up bare feet, walking straight to the bathroom.

"Um, I was thinking we could go crash the mall today?"

My eyebrow raised in surprise. "What? Crash the mall?" I placed toothpaste on my toothbrush and began brushing my teeth.

"Okay, who are you and what have you done to Grayson Bailey Dolan?"

He laughed. "I don't know, I just wanted to have some fun, I guess" He trailed off.

"Fun? that doesn't actually sound like your definition of fun"

"So you're calling me boring? Ouch"

I spat the toothpaste out on the sink and turned the cold tap on, letting it go through the drain. I giggled at his response and shook my head.

"That's not what I meant, Gray. It's just weird that you're doing these, things. You usually go for something different"

"Like?"

"Going for a walk, eat at In N Out, play Mario Kart" I trailed off.

"Well, I thought it was a time for a change"

"Okay," I finished brushing my teeth. "The mall it is"
