fifty five

The boys sat on Grayson's bed with their backs against the wall. His head was resting on Ethan's shoulder as the pair sat in silence for several moments. He sat with his eyes peering into the wall across from him, focusing his attention on the poster hung against his blue walls. Both of them had so much to say but no idea how.

The silence was comforting. Grayson loved his brother no matter what. Ethan felt the same way. They found solace in each other. They were each other's safe haven.

Ethan's fingers trailed across his brother's skin until he finally broke the silence, "You know I love you, right?" His voice was shaky as he looked down at Grayson.

Wrapped in his blanket, Grayson sat there silently until tears blocked his vision. Sobs escaped his lips as he burrowed further into his brother's chest.

Ethan held his brother close, his arms tightly wrapping around his body. He hated seeing his brother like this. He wanted Grayson to know how much he was loved. "I don't care what Apollo or anyone else says. I love you, Grayson. You are loved and cared for. You are worth so much more than those people think."

Grayson sniffled as he removed his head from Ethan's chest. His hands shakily reached upwards as they tested against his brother's cheeks. His head leaned forwards as he placed his lips against Ethan's.

Ethan sat there, staring at his brother until darting out of the room. He grabbed his car keys from the front table and left. A part of him was genuinely shocked. He had no idea what had just happened or why. However, another part of him enjoyed it. He wanted to turn around and run back inside that house.

As he ran every red light he came into contact with, Ethan pulled into Emily's driveway in an astounding five minutes. He stepped into the house without knocking as he walked towards his girlfriend who sat on the couch. His hands reached for her waist as he smacked his lips against hers. Held up against the wall, Emily took this opportunity to leave kisses against Ethan's skin as she searched for his sweet spot. She sucked on the skin underneath his ear as he let out a small whimper.

Emily reached her hands underneath his shirt right before he dropped her legs onto the floor. His eyebrows dropped in disappointment as he quickly became angry with himself. He began to pace around the living room, hitting himself in the head as he grabbed his hair in frustration.

Tears came to his eyes as he asked himself why he was such an idiot. He let out a scream, nearly falling to his knees as he grabbed the thing closest to him and slammed it against the wall.

Emily stood in the corner, her eyes widened with fear as she looked at the now broken vase that sat on the floor. She watched Ethan fall to his knees as his tears hit the floor.
