BEST FRIENDS GIRLFRIEND ; grethan

4 | 3 am

ETHAN
The rain drops tapped loudly on the window at to where I could here ever single drop. The house was quiet for the night since Amanda wasn't staying. My bed made a noise as I turned facing my room door. I wasn't sure If I should get up to check on Gray, or just stay. I couldn't sleep, this was normal for me though.

I turned to face my clock.

3:00 AM

I rubbed my eyes still not able to get to bed. Sighing, I decided it would be best for me to just get up.

Quietly I got out of bed making sure I didn't make sound not knowing if Grayson was up or not. The door creaked as I opened causing me to roll my eyes. I didn't have on much, but my underwear. Because of sleeps with pants on? The only thing that could be heard throughout the entire house was the rain.

It was dark for sure.

"Ethan?"

Grayson startled me causing me to suck up my breath.

"Sorry." He laughed. He was standing outside without a shirt in just his sweatpants. If the breath wasn't already sucked for him, It was gone for sure this time.

"I-I"

"Why are you up?" He yawned.

"Can't sleep." I admit blushing.

"I thought everything was okay after all those doctors?" He questioned.

"Yeah." I lied not really wanting to talk about it.

"Are you okay?" He inches closer to me.

"I- Uh... Yeah." I bit my lip.

"Let's go for a ride." Grayson said.

"Wait what?"

"In my car." He laughs.

"It's pouring out there Grayson."

"So, let me grab a hoodie."

"Not to mention it's 3 am!" I yelled while he grabbed his hoodie.

He came back out still shirtless with a hoodie in his hand, "It doesn't matter." He laughed.

I blushed as he put the hoodie on.

"You ready?"

I nodded, "L-Let me just grab a hoodie as well." I smile then walk back to my room. I swear him changing in front of me almost cost me a hard on. But I ignored the feeling and grabbed a hoodie.

Soon I was back in the hall where Grayson was nowhere to be found now.

"Gray?!"

"Down here."

I sighed walking down the stairs to see Grayson waiting by the door. It was quiet minus the rain.

"You ready. We're gonna run to my car." He laughed.

"Yes." I said putting the hood over my head.

He opened the door and be both ran out to his car which was parked very close.

Lucky us.

The doors were already unlocked so we were able to get in quick. We were both drenched from the shit weather, but neither of us minded. We laughed looking at each other.

"Dude you're not wearing pants." He laughed harder.

I looked down and my laughter was instantly shot with embarrassment. I made paws with my hoodie and tried to hide my crotch area.

"I-"

"It's fine. Happens." He smiled.

"Right." I chuckled.

Grayson put the key in the ignition, and we were off to god knows where. The drive was silent, just the two of us, no Amanda. It probably meant more to me than it did Grayson.

"Where we headed?" I broke the silence.

"Somewhere." He smirked not taking his eyes off the road.

I pouted earning a laugh from him.

"Very cute."

I blushed and didn't open my mouth afterwards.

Was he calling me cute?

I yawned, but somehow I still was not tired. I was enjoying my time with Grayson even if it wasn't intimate or cute like his relationship with Amanda. I don't even think Grayson would like me if he was gay.

We pulled into McDonalds causing me to look at Grayson.

"McDonalds?" I laughed.

"I thought we should share this over some fries." He grinned.

I rolled my eyes.

We pulled in to the drive through, then Grayson rolled down the window.

"Hi, welcome to McDonalds what can I get for you tonight?"

"Yes, can I have one large fry." Grayson said.

"Okay! That'll be 1.89, you can pull to the next window."

"Thanks."

I looked at Grayson who didn't roll up the window even with the rain still pouring. It was quiet again.

The silence was broken when we got to the window to pay for the item, and then receive the fry.

Grayson thanked them, and then we pulled off. It was silent. My stomach growled at the smell of the salty fries that Grayson had just purchased. I wanted to reach in the bag, but I didn't want to be that person.

"I know you want to eat them." He laughed.

"Yes." I bit my lip.

"We can right..." He dragged, "Now."

We came to a stop. I looked around, not that I could see anything with the rain pouring down.

He took the key out of the ignition. I brought my naked legs to my chest in the chair as I watched him open the bag and take the fries out.

"You're all huddled up." He said shaking his head smiling.

"So? I still want fries." I grinned.

We both reached inside the fries at the same time accidentally touching each other's hands. I looked at Graysons hand on man slowly taking it away but he stopped me.

I looked at him confused.

He bit his lips intertwining our fingers.

My cheeks heat up, but I didn't say a word.

He suddenly let go causing me to frown.

"I-I'm sorry, we should get back Eth." He laughs slightly as he rubs his neck.

I nod, "Um. Yeah."
