Godfather-Grethan

Chapter 4

Third POV

Wrist flicking back and forth rapidly, hand firm and moist with lotion as it stroked the thickness in its hold

*knock *knock

"Ethan are you up?"

Rushing to a stop, phone falling on his face with a yelp, pulling up his blue and white checkered pajama pants muttering a quick 'yes!' in between quick breaths before jumping out of bed, his moms voice ruining the moment, the hard compression against his underwear softening as he gets ready for school

"Hey mom are you gonna be working late again today or..." walking into the kitchen to grab an apple for breakfast

"No, I'm actually getting out a little earlier, enough to grab something to eat and pick you up from school if you want?"

Slightly disappointed Grayson wouldn't be coming over like before but still glad his mother would be working less and spend some time with her after a strenuous day at school

"Ok, Chinese sounds good"

~•~

Spending the rest of the day in school taking notes, working on homework when the teacher decides to end class ten or so minutes before the bell rings, and now waiting out front for his moms car to take him home

"Hey mom, how was work?" Ethan questions as he picks the bag of food up from the seat placing it on his lap as he sits down, school bag in between his legs

"It was fine, how bout you, school?"

The typical day he had was explained briefly as they took the short ride home

"Hey could we invite Grayson over for a little?" Ethan asked holding the two bags of different supplies as his mom turned the key to the house, the different levers pushing and pulling as the thick rod snaps back unlocking the door

"Yeah sure that's ok, if he can, I'll tell them both to come over"

Ethan walks to the kitchen preparing four plates of food, carrying them over to the living room as he scrolls through Netflix for a good movie, What Happened To Monday or Bird Box? Yeah he's seen them both and they're great movies he's willing to watch again, but which one? Eh, he'll let everyone else decide

Kate comes into the room with a bottle of soda and three cups

"Oh mom I think you forgot one" pointing to the stack of three red solo cups

"Stacy can't make it, works till seven I guess"

Ethan's heart jumps a little too much at the news, more than usual, whatever, he's just glad to see Grayson, yeah Grayson

With a smile as bright as ever Ethan gives a nod before asking his mom her opinion on the movie options

Grayson comes within fifteen minutes, grey sweats and a comforting green shirt, casual for his usual attire of button down shirts and dress pants, those uncomfortably tight dress shoes replaced with a pair of white Nike running shoes, loose and comfy he appeared

They ended up choosing What Happened To Monday as a result of Grayson never have watched it as opposed to Bird Box which he had seen with Stacy last Wednesday

Grayson sat on the end of the three seater with Ethan snuggled up to his side, knees tucked in, arms wrapped around himself as Grayson's arm laid across his back, hand on his waist, mindlessly drawing his thumb around in circles, going up his shirt to draw on the new canvas that is Ethan's skin

Kate had fallen asleep midway, Ethan and Grayson's full attention on the screen as they bit their lips in anticipation, worrying about the situations the characters on the screen were in and gasping in surprise with the outcome of it all

Ethan would draw his head back to take a peak at Grayson's face, wanting to see his reaction at certain scenes of the movie he knew was coming up in a few short seconds, the emotion that spread across Grayson's face each time was what Ethan expected; worry, fright, sorrow, excitement, but the aftermath was he wouldn't turn away after he got what he sought for, his face laid there, cheek squished up, planted across Grayson's bicep as he stared at Grayson's sharp edges, skin soft and smooth, glossy from the lights the screen highlighted across his cheeks, nub of a nose, and his forehead with hair ruffled about cascading small sharp shadows of a dull grey

Grayson would lean his head down on Ethan's occasionally, his nose in the lawn of Ethan's hair, a light coconut scent, basking in the smell that was Ethan

They ended up switching to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt after they were done with the movie, a silence between them which they were both comfortable with

They fell asleep with Grayson laid out flat on his back across the couch, Ethan laid atop of him, face on his chest with arms stretched out above, fingers lightly tangled in the locks of hair that belonged to Grayson, Grayson's own hands intertwined on Ethan's back, chin on the top of his head with poured lips

The only sound being picked up were the soft snores from the three, and of course Titus lemonading in the background, flaunting everything he had with the help of Lillian by his side
