Grayson's eyes flutter open. His cheeks flush a bright red. The cutest thing you've ever seen.

"What?" He asks, shocked.

"Will you be my boyfriend?" You repeat yourself.

His words come out in a hurry. In a stutter almost.

"I'm supposed to be the one to ask you. Not the other way around"

"Well I don't play 'by the book.' I do what I want and I want you to be mine for as long as we can handle it to be that way" you smile.

"Well that's gonna be easy" he returned a smile, only his one hundred times sweeter.

"So, is it a yes?"

"Obviously" he gives you a faint smirk. You crawl up to his chest and lay your head down. You smile to yourself and begin to draw figure eights on his skin again.

Grayson begins to caress your hair again. In the same slow and comforting way. Soon, you felt yourself drifting into the beauties of sleep.

Dreaming wonderfully of things that didn't seem could come true. Things to beautiful for the horrors of the real world. Lucid dreams occurred in your mind as you slept in the arms of your first love.

———

You wake up to your alarm beeping continuously. You roll over and hit the snooze button. You didn't realize you slept through the whole afternoon and into the night.

Your hand runs to the other side of the bed only to feel that it was empty. The bed sheets were up to your shoulders and your outfit was changed into more comfortable clothes.

None the less, you were half naked. Having told Grayson you slept in your underwear made him think that it was most comfortable for you.

You stand up and grab a crop top from your closet and throw it over your head. You grab a pair of baggy sweat pants that hung loose and put them on too.

You walk down stairs to the smell of eggs and bacon.
"Gray, What are you doing?" You ask him.

"Since you made me breakfast the other morning, I thought I would return the favor" he turns his head and gives you a warm smile.

You laugh and shake your head. You walk toward him and ask if he's seen your parents at all.

"No, I was wondering when they would come home" he says. Just as you were about to say something, the knocking at your door interrupted.

You go to answer it and look through the peep hole to see Alyssa and Ethan walking behind her.

You open the door and smile at them, greeting them.

"Congrats guys!" She yells, throwing her arms in the air and hugging you.

"Huh" you blurt.

"On your new relationship!" She continues to yell.

You look over at Grayson, who had the biggest smile on his face. Ethan comes behind him and pats him on the shoulder after he gave you a hug.

"You told them?" You ask Grayson.

He nods his head and you smile at them.

"I have to be proud of it. I've wanted you since day one and now that I have you after all this time, it's gotta be a celebration." Grayson giggles.

You walk up behind him and wrap your arms around him and kiss his back, not being able to reach his face for he was turned around.

"So what do you want to do?" Alyssa asks you. You shrug and respond. "I don't know. I was kinda planning on eating before anything else."

Grayson grabs plates from the cupboards and places food on them and hands one to you. Ethan places his hand on his chest, pretending to he offended.

"Nothing for us?!" He asks.

"You didn't ask. This is for her, so don't touch bro" Grayson says to Ethan. He wraps an arm around you as you start to eat. 

Eventually, you lay your head on his shoulder still while chewing. Alyssa smiles widely at you two and shrieks.

Alarming everyone around her, you and the twins look at her.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!" You say to her.

"Oh my god you guys are just so cute!! Ahhh" she screams.

You smile and hide your face in Grayson's shoulder.

Around 8 pm, Grayson starts to pack up his things. He was supposed to leave that Sunday and be home for school on Monday.

"Can't you stay another week?" You ask with a playful smile on your face.

He gives a small laugh and walks toward you, cupping your face in his hands and places a long kiss on your lips.

"Another time. If my mom finds out that I didn't go to school another day, she'll kill me"

"That would probably be my fault. Sorry" you apologize.

"Don't be sorry. She loves you" he says. You smile proudly. "Really?!" You ask.

"Yeah. She's always asking when you're gonna be over, or when we can have dinner together or when she can see you again. She's even crazier than I am about you" he smiles back.

You laugh and hug him. "Well I guess you better go then"

"Yeah, bye babe" he kisses your forehead as he leaves the front door.

"See you tomorrow!" You yell after him.

He turns around with a smile on his face. "See you tomorrow" he repeats.
