There sat Ethan on the edge of his childhood bed on the phone, glancing back at Grayson a few times. He held the sleeping boy's hand while rubbing his thumb over the backside, he felt a need to protect Grayson from this harsh world.

"Just tell the boss i'll be back tomorrow" Ethan muttered while shifting his position, now sitting next to Grayson, he ran his index fingertip over a jagged scar that look deep.

"Yeah I know he won't be happy, just tell him i'll work more hours and do the deals" The older mumbled and said his goodbyes before hanging up his phone, he bit his lower lip and gently leaned over pressing his lips to Grayson's cheek "Wake up sleepyhead"

The younger rolled over onto his stomach before lifting his head to speak briefly "Sleepyhead? That's cheesy"

Ethan rolled his eyes and laid down on top of Grayson taking out his phone to open the app 'Snapchat'. He reached his arm around putting the phone in front of the two and Ethan leaned down giving Grayson's head small pecks while recording. The younger squeezed his eyes and curled his head letting out a few giggles "Stop" He whined.

The blue eyed boy sat back and watch the video hiding a smile, Grayson turned around looking at him and let out a puff of air. He climbed over curling himself onto Ethan's lap, he nuzzled his head into the tanned thigh wanting his hair to be played with.

"So you bought them panties huh?" Ethan grinned while massaging his fingertips into Grayson's scalp. Grayson closed his eyes and a pink tint came over his cheeks and ears, his freckles disappearing under the pink.

"I wanted to try something new" He replied and tugged Ethan's shirt he wore down feeling conscious over his almost bare lower half.

The older let out a chuckle and shook his head while standing up carefully, he pulled on a pair of sweatpants after stretching out his limbs. Ethan walked to the door opening it and looking around before turning back to Grayson "You ready to go?" He asked.

The younger rubbed his eyes with his fists as he nodded, he rolled out of bed and pulled on his jeans. He slid his beanie over his messy hair, picked his sweater off the ground and walked over to Ethan with a sleepy smile.

Ethan wrapped his arms around Grayson's lower waist and hugged him tightly while dragging Grayson into the hallway making him let out a high pitch laugh. The pair jogged down the stairs to find Lisa watching television on the couch.

"Boys you've been sleeping for awhile, Cameron went out a bit ago" She said pausing the tv and turning to look at sleepy Grayson and Ethan.

"I know i'm sorry but we have to leave. Grayson has to get home and I have to return back to Miami for my job" Ethan said with an apologetic tone and went over hugging his mother tightly when she stood up.

They held each other for awhile until Lisa motioned Grayson over and he shuffled over giving her a warm, soft hug. The younger smiled small and return to Ethan's side holding his hand and leaning his head against the side of the older.

"Well you boys be safe and I love you Ethan. It was a pleasure to meet you Grayson, I hope I see you around more often" Lisa said with a sad tone but a smile on her face, she hugged both of them one last time and let them walk out of the house.

Grayson sat curled up in the passenger seat, nuzzled into the warm seat as Ethan sat in the driver's letting the engine warm up considering how cold it was plus it managed to snow just a bit. The tired boy glanced at Ethan who was spinning his black ring around his index finger, he had a tired look on his face but he covered it with a smile once he looked over to Grayson.

"Do you have to leave?" The brown eyed boy asked quietly with a frown, Ethan had made him feel happy, he made Grayson's life feel complete.

"I don't want to leave but duty calls" Ethan reached his hand out and gripped Grayson's before bringing it up and kissing the back of his hand.

"When can I see you again?" Grayson asked sitting up now, a frown upon his lips and his gaze down to the floorboard of the car.

It was silent for a minute and Ethan let out a sigh shrugging his shoulders "I'm not sure darling".

The younger glanced at Ethan then shifted in the seat placing his head against the window, pulling his legs up underneath him, curling himself up. He was sad that Ethan was leaving but he couldn't stop him which was the worst part, with Ethan in Grayson's life, he almost made things 100% better.

There was a thick silence between the both of them as Ethan drove the direction of Grayson's apartment. He had both hands on the wheel this time, not one on the thigh of the Grayson. He was trying to figure out a best solution for the two and the only one he could come up with is that Grayson could tag along but Ethan didn't want Grayson to get involved with his lifestyle down in Miami.

"Gray" Ethan said while putting the car in park and unbuckling, he turned in his seat and pushed back the middle console of his car "Come here" He demanded gently and Grayson turned his head to see Ethan tapping his own thigh. The younger of the pair sat up and maneuvered his way into Ethan's lap, he placed his head against his chest and closed his eyes.

"I don't want to leave you. Something about you has me hook, trust me but I have to go back to work. I wish I could take you with me but Miami isn't safe for cuties like you" Ethan said while cupping Grayson's face and leaning his forehead against his.

"You're cheesy" Grayson repeated the sentence over again and closed his eyes, he was pouting but who wouldn't in this situation? All he wanted was to be with Ethan, he was making Grayson happy.

"Please take me with you" Grayson asked with a small voice and clutched his hands with the long sleeve shirt he wore, his eyes opening to look at Ethan.

Another sigh and a few minutes of silence, the older clenched his jaw and squeezed his arms around Grayson "What if I can't protect you huh? I don't want you to get hurt".

Grayson rolled his eyes and didn't even understand the big deal with Miami and Ethan. He tilted his head to the side while looking at Ethan's tattoo above his eyebrow, he then pointed his finger against it and locked eyes with Ethan.

"Create memories with me" He said softly and removed his finger, Ethan gushed and gripped the sides of Grayson's hips.

"Fine Gray" He responded and Grayson opened the door climbing out of Ethan's lap and the car.

"Help me pack!" Grayson said excitingly and pulled his lanyard out of his pocket unlocking the door of the apartment complex.

Ethan shut off the car and got out locking it with his clicker, he walked through to the door that Grayson was holding open. The pair walked to the stairs and Ethan crouched down letting Grayson climb onto his back so he could carry him up the stairs.

Grayson was sat to his feet carefully in front of his apartment door and he unlocked it pushing it open. He stepped inside with Ethan following behind.

"I'm gonna make hot coco then we can start" He said in the kitchen already pulling out the hot chocolate packets and two mugs.

"Okay. I'll watch some TV" Ethan said plopping down onto the white couch, he reached forwards and grabbed the remote before turning on the tv.
