Ethan woke up with the faint smell of roses and hair in his mouth, he looks down and sees the same girl he hooked up with last night lay on his chest sleeping soundly. Ethan untangles her from him and slowly gets out of bed trying not to wake her up, he slides his jacket on and takes his phone seeing missed calls from his mom and friends, he rolls his eyes and messages them walking out of the room he walks into someone tall and hard he looks up and his heart drops.

The familiar brown eyes stare down into his and they harden instantly a scowl plays on his lips and his fists tighten making Ethan gulp in fear and submission scared of what he might do. "Why the fuck did you sleep with my sister?" His hands push Ethan against the wall and he whimpers

"I didn't know she was your sister" he only pushes harder on his chest "G-grayson please i didn't know i'm sorry" Graysons grip loosened and Ethan was able to breath again.

"Don't touch her again or so help me" Grayson warns

"Wasn't planning on it" Ehan mumbles and knows he fucked up by the hitch in Graysons breath

"What does that mean? was she not good for you? is she just some random hook up?" He can visible see Grayson tense up with each question

"N-n-no it's just that i l-like someone else and last night didn't mean anything to either if us" Ethan defends himself, he's not helping himself in this situation at all and he knows if he says one wrong word he's gonna die. "Look tell her whatever you want tell her i needed to leave early or something" Ethan goes to walk out the door when he's stopped

"Is it Noah?" His voice is almost soft and unexpected he's never heard Grayson like this apart from the time he got sick

"What? No! Noah is just a friend" Graysons eyebrows pin together

"Ben? I fucking knew it don't think i haven't noticed you two getting closer" Grayson clicks his knuckles

"No Grayson it's not ben" Grayson gives a really confused look when Ethan laughs at him

"Why are you laughing?" His voice was deeper than usual

"I'm just it's nothing" Ethan continues to laugh

"What is there something on my face?" Grayson wipes his face making Ethan laugh more

"No it's just that" He can't help but chuckle

"What?" He starts to get annoyed Ethan just looked at Grayson

"It's just that for a moment it seemed like you actually cared about who i liked" Ethan just stares at Grayson.

"I mean... i don't i-i'm just curious" Grayson stutters and Ethan smiles he's never heard Grayson stutter or even just trip on his words, so when he stutters the only thing he can do is smile and that only makes Grayson smile back, he licks his lips looking at Graysons trailing his face.

He really is beautiful.

A cough breaks them apart and he sees an older woman probably mid 40s standing there who looks a lot like Grayson and Jessica and Ethan can only tie them together as his mother. She smiles at the boys who stand there smiling back at her.

"And who might you be?" She questions Ethan which makes him blush a little not expecting meeting Graysons family.

"I'm Ethan, Graysons roommate" Her smile falters a little and he can only imagine what Grayson says about him when he's home.

"I've heard a lot of things about you Ethan one thing i wasn't told was how handsome you are" She walks further into the kitchen and they can only follow her, she hands Ethan a cup of tea and Grayson some water. "If only i knew you were coming over i would've prepared some breakfast"

"No i was just about to leave, i just came to give Grayson his key back for the dorm room" He makes up a lie, who eyes scrunch and she doesn't believe he's telling the truth Ethan moves his eyes somewhere else in the room and notice as certificate on the wall; She's a police officer.

"But you left before Grayson" She questions further

"Well he lost his and i was giving mine to him because i leave later than him" She scrunches her nose, his palms start to sweat a little, does he just leave? or let her question him further, she's intimidating just like Grayson and it scares him how much alike they are.

"Okay, oh hey hunny" Jessica walks into the room, dressed in jeans and a small pink crop top not covering the multiple hickeys covering her chest and neck, she sees Ethan and jumps a little and gives a small smile. "Jess this is Ethan Graysons roommate" She introduces her and Ethans cheeks blush slightly.

"I know we've met" Just then as i seems to look like his mom clicked on to what happened he pushes back on his chair the feet scraping the wooden floor and grabs his varsity jacket.

"Nice to meet you Mrs Dolan, see you back at college Gray" He shakes the moms hand and waves to Grayson walking out of the house, he walks past a car and looks at his neck he notices the multiple dark purple marks scattered on his neck he groans and carries on walking home shivering as the brisk wind washes over him.

Well that was a great first impression.
