Birthday Blues

I couldn't finish watching their video... I'm sorry but I literally can't bear to see my poor baby Gray cry 😭💔.

Normal POV:

You skipped down the hall leading to the room you shared with your boyfriend. Everyone else was busy planning the twins' big birthday surprise, so you decided to just spend the day by Grayson's side.

"Baaaby," you called in a sing-song voice upon reaching the door to his room. "Grayson, you wanna-"

Your words get caught in your throat as your eyes land on the shaking figure of your boyfriend. Grayson is sitting on his bed, his face hidden in his hands as he sobbed softly.

Closing the door behind you, you gasped, "Gray? Baby, what's wrong?"

Grayson's head shot up and you got a good look at his tear-stained face-his nose and cheeks were tinged pink, the trail of old and fresh tears going down his cheeks, and his eyes puffy and rosy.

"(Y-Y/N)? You should be o-outside," Grayson said, his voice cracking.

"Babe. Are you alright?" you asked, making your way to him. He quickly tried to wipe his tears away with his palm. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine."

Your brows knitted as you stood right in front of him. "Gray?" you said softly. "What's the matter? W-Why are you crying, baby?"

He refused to meet your (E/C) eyes, shifting his gaze around the room. You brought yourself to sit on his lap, on eye-level with him. Your hand traveled up to his thick, brown locks and you gently ran your fingers through them, resting your palm behind his head.

You left Grayson with no other option than to face you and your worried stare. Just as his eyes locked onto yours, he burst into tears once again. You whispered his name, letting him bury his face in the crook of your neck.

"Shh, baby. I'm here for you. It's OK," you cooed to your sobbing boyfriend.

"I-I'm so sorry," Grayson sniffled. "You shouldn't h-have to see me like t-this."

You held his head close. "No, no, no. It's alright, Gray," you reassured him. "Please tell me what's wrong so I can help you, love."

Grayson's arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you into him tight as if to assure himself that you were there. He inhaled a deep breath, trying to steady himself. "Everything just came back to me like a wave of just sadness and horrible memories," he explained.

"Like what?" you questioned, now rubbing his back, soothingly.

"L-Like...The day we lost dad," his voice trailed off, and you instantly felt your heart twist for the poor boy.

You let him continue. "It feels like everything I didn't cry about the whole year, everything I've been holding in has now drowned me."

He lifted his head up from your shoulder to look deep into your eyes. "I didn't want you, or anyone for that matter, to see me like this. You guys are planning a surprise and I didn't wanna ruin the day."

"Oh, Grayson," you sighed softly. "Oh, baby, no. This is your birthday. You and Ethan are our main priorities. If you felt like this, you didn't have to hide it. Especially not from me.

"Everybody has those days, Gray. It doesn't mean you ruined your birthday or anyone else's day. And even if you don't wanna tell everyone about it, you know you can always tell me."

Grayson sniffed, fully hugging you. He held you in silence for a few moments, before saying, "I love you so much, (Y/N)."

"I love you too, birthday boy."

He gave you his extra glossy puppy eyes. "Can we please just cuddle?"

You giggled, pecking his plump lips. "Of course, babe."

And that was exactly what you did. You and Grayson cuddled under the covers, with him holding you close to his chest and you falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

I wanna give him a tight hug ❤
