"Grayson?"

He hears a voice in the distance of his mind, he feels hands shaking him, pulling him back into the real world.

"Grayson?" The calming voice calls his name again, his mind drifts into reality as he opens his eyes seeing Ethan's worried face hovering over his own. He blinks a few times as he realizes

It was just a dream, or in this case, a nightmare.

"Ethan?" Grayson says in a confused state as his blurry vision focuses on his face.

"Yes baby it's me. I'm here." Ethan says softly wiping his cheeks free from tears.

"You were having a nightmare. You were crying and mumbling for a while, even my rocking couldn't help put you back to sleep." He explains with worry.

Grayson suddenly cries seeing his face again. The dream felt real, too feel. The possibility of it ever becoming true turns his blood cold. Tears stream down his cheeks wetting them again.

"It's okay, I got you." Ethan assures wrapping his strong arms around his shivering body and bringing him into his chest. Grayson crashes onto him, sobbing in between his neck and shoulder.

"Hey, hey." Ethan shushes him while patting and rubbing calming circles on his back.

"It's okay." He says planting a few kisses onto his head as his grip around him becomes tighter.

After a while of laying in Ethan's arms and realizing his worst nightmare was just that, a nightmare Grayson calms slightly. He hiccups quietly coming down from a close emotional breakdown.

"Now..." Ethan sighs holding his cheeks to make him look at him, he stares down at his broken face and wet eyes the sight makes his heart hurt.

"Want to tell me what you were dreaming about?" He continues with a sad smile. Grayson looks down as his eyebrows furrow.

"I-I dream-dreamt that y-you left me." He says before he starts sobbing again, dropping his face back onto Ethan's chest.

"Oh Gray." Ethan sighs frowning as he runs his hand up and down Grayson's back.

"You forgot about m-me." Grayson cries with pain in his voice as he grips Ethan's shirt desperately as if he'd leave at any time.

"You told me to kill myself." Grayson whispers against his neck as he sobs.

Ethan's eyes widen at his words, he shakes his head looking down at Grayson. It pains him to see him like this and hear him say things like that.

"Listen to me." Ethan cups his chin making him look at him again.

"I would never leave you or wish hurt upon you." He asserts as his eyes get glossy as tears build up.

"I would never forget about you, I would never forget about the best... the best thing in my life."

"Grayson, I fucking love you." He says as tears falls down his cheeks. He grabs the back of his neck and pushes his lips against Grayson's. He kisses him passionately almost roughly, he kisses him with love.

Grayson sobs against his lips as he tastes a mix of his and Ethan's tears. Ethan's tongue swivels around his own, he grabs Ethan's hair running his fingers through the strands of dark locks and smiles at the familiar feeling. Ethan pulls back as they catch their breath, he looks him right in the eye while his thumbs swipe tears away from his cheeks.

They share more kisses as Ethan's hands reach underneath his underwear, his fingers rub over Grayson's entrance making his body twitch.

"I want you baby." Ethan whispers in his ear.
