Godfather-Grethan

Chapter 5

Ethan's POV

Another dull yet bright Sunday morning, stepping out of Kate's car as he pushes through the doors of the church, clambering down the steps to the classrooms downstairs

Sat in his usual seat is Harry, a lip biting grin as he taps his phone vigorously with his two thumbs, Ethan's presence unnoticed as he drags the chair out loosely, the metal legs screech across the floor, still nothing

Ethan takes his own phone out pressing his thumb against the circle on the bottom, opening the messages app and scrolling down to Harry

To Harry: Hi

Harry pauses for a second to read the text at the top of the screen before ignoring it and continuing his previous actions

To Harry: You know it's not nice to ignore people, especially your favorite cousin, ass

"Wha- Oh hi Ethan!" Taking a second to notice me before he's back on his phone

"Zayn?"

"Yeah..."

"Ok... what does he look like?"

Harry completely stops texting, goes to his camera roll and clicks on one of the many photos of the two from what Ethan can see, willing to stop texting Zayn for the opportunity to gloat about his boyfriend and show him off

Harry turns his phone towards Ethan as the screen displays a sleeping Harry, head rested on the chest of the olive colored man below him, smiling at the camera with a hand tousled in Harry's many locks of hair

"He took that when I fell asleep while we were watching The Office on Friday"

Zayn was quite handsome, a slight stubble even though he was decently young for it, nice raven hair swooped up and to the side, jaw chiseled and honey eyes

"He's cute right" Harry stated, knowing he didn't need to ask

"Yeah, very"

"Hi everyone, good morning" a series of good mornings murmured around the room as Harry brought back his phone, sending one last message before retreating his phone back in his pocket

"As you may know after this class there's just one more and then the following one is the ceremony" people started talking, gradually getting quite loud like a class usually do after a little announcement, they exaggerate and act like they're in lunch, allowed to freely talk with their friends, disrespecting the teacher just trying to do their job leading them to get angry and go off, or just calmly telling everyone to quiet down, only certain teachers can do the latter and succeed

Class passed by as we learned very little being the fact that class was almost over and we just instead were more learning what we were going to be doing the day of the ceremony, where to go, the time, just a run of the whole day

Class ended at 10:55 and I'm heading up the stairs with Harry as we talk all about Zayn and nothing else, through the doors there are some people sat about the benches ready for mass to start in a couple minutes, my moms not here as usual, Harry's parents are at the front so Harry hugs me goodbye before heading over

I turn to walk to an empty bench and take a seat, I look down, pulling my phone out, scrolling through Instagram at peoples posts, going to the search section and looking through the funny videos and occasional RuPauls Drag Race lip sync battles

Puffs of air leaving through my nostrils as laughs, I feel a slight pressure next to me, the creak of the wood shifting

"Hey mom," pressing my thumb against the side of my phone and stuffing it back in my pocket "how a-"

"Hi Ethan"

"Uh, Hey Grayson, sorry I thought you were my mom," I chuckled "where's Stacy?"

"She got an extra shift at work for a project they're working on"

"Oh, anything new at your internship, and college how's it going?"

"Everything's fine, schools going good, almost perfect grades, and the cases I see at the court are really interesting sometimes, although most of the time they're just things like a parking ticket or a car accident, but the other day there was this guy that was accused of killing three people at a party, he was eventually found guilty thankfully, it was so obvious he did it, but there was some evidence to help him out but it was total bull sh-, uh, haha we're in church, oops" giving a child like grin as his eyes crinkled shut, cheeks reddening nicely

"But Hey, I should be asking you about school, how goes it, anyone special catch your eye" the whisp of a chuckle at the end, fading off

"Heh, um no one really, I mean there's some nice people at school here and there but no one I'd really consider dating I guess," growing fidgety "everything good with Stacy?"

A couple moments of blank nothing, the conversations of others around were vaguely heard in the background, "Well-"

"Hey Grayson!" Kate exclaimed, leaning down to give a kiss to Grayson's cheek, receiving the same in return

Grayson scooted down the bench, backing up so Kate could greet Ethan the same

The priest appeared at the podium up front in a full body white robe, raising his arms as everyone stood and he commenced with the hour long sermon
