-Can it be?-

Ethan realized that he wasn't going to be able to sleep that night no matter how much he tired his mind just kept running in circles. He eventually throws his covers back heading into Grayson's room. He goes to the opposite side of the bed moving the covers back and he slowly climbs into the bed and he hears Grayson groan rolling over.

"E," He mumbles out and he reaches a hand over feeling for the top of Ethan's head and once he found his head he rubbed his scalp

"Yeah," he says and sighs tiredly "It's me you can-"

"Do you want to talk about it Ethan?" Grayson says cutting him off his voice was hoarse from being half asleep.

"Not right now" he mumbles and Grayson pats the top of his head before rolling over his back to Ethan.

"I'm here if you need me Ethan," he mumbles and a few seconds go by and Ethan could hear Grayson's breath evening out but he disrupts his sleep.

"Did you pick up a shift for tomorrow?" Ethan asks looking over to his brother in the darkness who hummed a yes and Ethan decides to let his brother rest. He gets comfortable under the covers but he faces his brother watching in the low moonlight Grayson's breathing and he sighs matching it with his to be able to fall asleep.

"Love you, bro" Grayson's soft voice makes Ethan's eyes open and he smiles softly, he could tell the he was waiting for him to say it back to him.

"Love you too" He says slipping an arm under the pillow under his head, relaxing. Once matching his breathing with his brothers again it only took him a few minutes to fall asleep.

The next morning Grayson carefully got out of bed he had woken up before his alarm which he turned off once getting up. He makes his side of the bed before going to his bathroom to shower and then get ready for work. Before closing the bathroom door he looks back at his sleeping brother, his facial features were relaxed and he looked at peace. Grayson was worried for his brother and he was going to have him take his medicine today to see if it would help him feel better.

Once closing the door to the bathroom he leans his back against the door and lowers his head into his hands but only for a second before wiping his face and he heads to the shower turning it on. He takes a quick shower even though he had more than enough time to get ready, he just did not want to over think things in the shower like he always did. Once dried off he goes into his closet that is connected to the bathroom to pull on some boxers before going out to his desk picking up his uniform, which consisted of a white button up, black jeans and a pair of black high top converse. Once ready he goes back into the bathroom wiping the steamed up mirror to make sure he didn't have to shave, once seeing he could go without he just brushed his teeth.

Ethan rolls over and the rising sun that was shinning through the shades hit his eyes. He rubs his eyes rolling away from the light and he opens his eyes, he realized that he wasn't in his own room and the memories of yesterday came back to his mind. He really was a jerk to Hailey last night, but he did not think that she deserved an apology from him. He sees that Grayson was brushing his teeth and he was all ready for work. The two worked at a local coffee place close to home, he was glad that he didn't work today because he knew he could not handle the atmosphere, he was not even in the right headspace to even leave his brothers bed. Ethan was pulled from his thoughts, he came out of the bathroom and he gives Ethan a small smile.

"Morning, E" he says as he pulls his phone from the charger.

"Morning" Ethan replies back and he throws the covers back from himself and swings his legs to the edge of the bed "How late do you work today?"
