the first full week of grayson and i trying things out had passed and things were starting to feel a sort of......normal? i don't even know what normal is anymore to be honest. but what's going on with me and grayson i'm gonna say we're getting used to it.

"morning lex" grayson says causing my heart to momentarily stop. since when did he call me that? only ethan calls me that...

maybe i'm just imagining things.

"morning gray" i kissed him quickly before grabbing the bowl of fruit he was eating and walking away.

what can i say? i'm hungry.

"alexxxxx not my fruit." he whines making me chuckle.

"share?" i ask popping a strawberry into my mouth.

"only if you let me have the cantaloupe."

"deal that shit is nasty anyways." i say handing him the bowl back.

"so what's the plan for today?" i ask.

"we need to go see ethan. it's been a week..." he says slowly. i look down feeling so guilty. first i get with his brother, next i ignore him. what am i doing?

"let me get dressed and we can go." i head up stairs quickly, changing clothes and rebrushing my hair.

-

grayson pulls into the hospital parking and we walk in. they pretty much know who we are already, and lead us to ethans room.

still asleep. i want him to wake up. so so bad.

"hey e" i say as if he can actually hear me.

"hey bup" grayson says after me. cute.

"we miss you a lot. it's been a little over a month. please wake up..." i say starting to get really teary. grayson pulls me into a hug and i softly begin to cry into his chest.

the door opens, letting in the regular doctor that is aiding in ethans recovery.

"hey guys, i have some good news to share." he says with a warming smile on his face.

"please go on" grayson says wrapping an arm around my lower back and pulling me close.

"well, ethans latest CT scans show neurological growth." he fumbles with the scans and pulls up the old one. "now this is the one we took last week. you can see the neurotransmitters in his brain barely working, only enough to stimulate a coma dream." he pulls the paper behind it out and places it in front and begins to speak again.

"now this one we took today. you can see his scans are much more active. let me spare you the medical talk, and say this simply. his brain is basically starting to turn back on. the different parts of his brain are beginning to process and transmit again." he concludes.

"so does this mean he might wake up soon?" i ask to clarify.

"we are really hoping so. these scans show that he's on a very good track." we thank him and he leaves us alone with ethan again.

"come on e, you got this. you can do this." grayson places and hand on ethans limp shoulder as he says his words of encouragement.

we both sit there's and keep ethan company. well ourselves mostly since ethan is asleep.

after a few hours we decided to go back home and get some rest. we're gonna go back to see him again tomorrow after we have a meeting with the gang.

-

we pull into the drive way and enter the house. first thing i see is a pink stick note on the counter facing the door.

went out for some fun. be back tomorrow.
- nash (and everyone else.)

ps: have fun kids ;)

"idiots" i chuckle before handing the note to grayson. he chuckles and throws it in the trash.

"have fun kids? what is he, a middle aged mom?" i joke causing grayson to laugh aloud.

"hm...have fun?" grayson says looking at me.

"yeah, have fun." i say confused.

"how long do we have until they come home?" he asks. i can see the wheels turning in his mind as he's got a plan.

"well the note said they'll be back tomorrow morning." i answer. grayson looks back to me with a certain look in his eye. one i don't think i've seen in a long while.

lust.

oh good god.

"you know....no reason to let a good night go to waste." he says latching his large hands onto my waist. i step closer and speak.

"we did just have a better day today, huh?" i say agreeing and bringing my body even closer to graysons.

"why don't we relax a bit" he says centimeters away from my lips.

"i think that's a good idea." i pressed my lips onto his and he reciprocated.

he signaled for me to jump and i did, as he carried me up the stairs. we headed to his room with no regrets— at least not in this moment. i was way too preoccupied to regret anything.

that's what "the morning after" is for. fuck it.

"you wanna do this?" he says in a rush and out of breath.

"right now yes" i said as if i had no other thoughts in my brain but that.

now i made some stupid decisions while i was still in highschool and went to parties i shouldn't have. long story short, i'm definetly not a virgin....but it's been a while.

this is gonna hurt. yolo.
