You were sitting in class waiting for your lover to come in. He had these big strong arms and a contagious smile. You were always so happy in theater because of him.
"No Gray today?", your friend, Sam, asked as she sat next to you.
"I'm sure he's here."
"I hear he's applying to NYU, you going with him?", she asks, shrugging her shoulders teasingly.
"Wait what?"
"Yeah," she nods, "I was there when his dad was hyping him up, telling him bout the eligibility he has. Apparently the odds are with him."
"But..."
"Maybe I misheard, just ask him when he gets here."
"Look at my girl!", Grayson yelled, alarming everyone.
You smiled widely as he came to kiss you on the cheek. Though you and Grayson were never officially together, everyone knew not to disturb either of you.
"How was your day?", you asked as he threw his things on the floor to sit right next to you.
"Good, you?", he asks, snuggling next to you.
"There he is," your friend smiled, "I see big things for you guys.", she whispers.
You smiled at her and whispered, "I'm gonna have his kids."
"Y/n? Settling down?", Sam jokes, you laugh along and begin to rub Grayson's knee, "I thought you-"
"I'm only kidding Sam-"
"If you don't have his kids, someone will, and you won't like it.", Sam said, flipping her hair and facing forward, "You better."
Sam laughed and you turned back to Grayson and answered, "Anyway, are you coming over today?", you ask.
His smile fell, but quickly came again, "Of course-"
"Good, parents won't be there till like 7? That means a lot of-"
"I know." he says in a kind of blunt tone and quickly shifts his body away from you, "Nelson!"
He walks away from you and joins another group and you sit there before the teacher comes in and instructs.
"So," Grayson begins to whisper, "I was thinking...", he grabs your right hand and kisses it, "Maybe, you come over for Christmas-"
"For what?", you whisper back.
"To introduce you to my family. You're practically my girlfriend-"
"No, i'm not," you snap back, "you know I don't like labels."
"Okay, fine."

"You ready?"
Grayson looks up at you and his smile falls, "Yeah, i'm ready."
