❝ I'll just sleep in my underwear ❞

WARNING: VERBAL ABUSE
I swear the plot twist will come soon, this is just a filler chapter. Ethan isn't innocent.

Ethan walked around the car to open up Grayson's passenger door, he carefully took the younger's hand helping him out of the car. He was trembling lightly and Ethan wrapped his arm around Grayson's waist softly, guiding him to the front porch.

They stood on the front porch which was nicely decorated, few potted plants with two white rocker chairs and a white day swing. Ethan knocked his knuckles against the dark colored door waiting for someone to answer the door, Grayson's head nuzzled into his shoulder blade with a few light sniffles coming out of him.

The door opened to reveal a girl with dark brown hair, she had a small smile on her lips as she looked up at Ethan "I have missed you" She said softly and wrapped her arms around his neck giving him a short hug. She glanced at Grayson and looked back at Ethan "Did Ethan get a boyfriend?" She teased and he sent a glare her way as Grayson kept his eyes to the ground.

"Honey is that Ethan?" A woman asked walking up behind the younger girl, she broke out into a grin and reached her arms out "Etee, we missed you" Ethan stepped ahead of Grayson and gave his mother a hug with a small smile "Missed you too mom".

"Logan is that your brother?" An elder woman asked while stepping up behind Logan, she pushed the door open and sent a ungrateful glare to Grayson while pulling her son into a tight hug.

"Who is this handsome fellow?" She gritted through her teeth looking at Grayson who kept his head down until a hand wrapped around his injured bicep, Jake's fingers dug into the bandaged cut and Grayson nearly let a whimper slip out of his mouth.

"It's my new boyfriend, his name is Grayson. Right babe?" Jake asked digging his fingers deeper causing Grayson's knees to buckle but he locked eyes with Jake's mother, he showed a small smile and nodded "Yes" He replied softly and looked up at Jake who leaned down kissing his head.

"Grayson is a handsome young man, nice to meet you sweetheart. I'm Lisa" Lisa said with a warm smile and opened her arms, Grayson hadn't realize he was crying again until he felt a tear hit his lip so he quickly rubbed at his eyes before accepting the hug. It was a nice embrace, he felt welcomed. There was a squeeze around his waist and he let a weak smile take over his lips, they pulled back and Grayson looked back to find Ethan but he was already inside bickering with his sister.

The younger male followed Ethan's mother inside and he toed off his shoes revealing his bright pink socks with blue sharks on them. He placed his shoes by the door and shuffled to the living area where Ethan sat talking quietly with his sister.

Grayson slowly sat down beside Ethan on the dark leather couch, the older's head turned and he wrapped an arm around Grayson's shoulder, pulling him into his chest. "Gray, this is my sister Cam, Cam this is Gray" Grayson lifted his eyes from the floor and Cameron grinned shaking her head.

"Don't know how you ended up with someone like Ethan, he's the messiest person ever" She said with a laugh and Ethan threw what looked to be a remote at her.

"Well..w-we aren't dating but he's really caring...and handsome" Grayson said with a small blush against his cheeks, he looked up to Ethan who looked down at him.

"Ugh gross" Cameron said throwing a pillow back at Ethan, Grayson let out a small forced giggle and pulled his legs up underneath him letting his head rest against Ethan's lap.
