---------------------------

the clouds Gathered in the sky, up until now it was Pitch perfect.
It began like an airy whisper, Drifting and Mixing themselves into eachother.
The Sky had Swiveled into a Gravel gray to match the darkened tone the day seemed to set off.
The rain fell slowly at first, quietly Blowing along with the wind.
It wasn't the type of weather You wanted to be walking to school in.
Grion pulled The red hood up, shielding himself from the Downpour.

The rain can mean Many things. For some its calming, Letting the soothing Pitter patter fill Your thoughts.
For Others It Was a Grievance, You can't Play outside Or go to the beach.
That Beaming Yellow ball of Light Can't beat down onto your bare skin. Its Damp and cold Both In and Outdoors, as well as the added Occasional Flu that No One is ever happy about.
The Lightning isn't Something You Can forget about either.
Least of all, For Some it is Just Nothing.
Those sounds, it was something that He Couldn't help wondering about, I am sure in his situation you Could relate.

The Loud Rumble of Voices Had Slowly flooded the streets, Every Person Shouting over the other, just Trying to be heard.
People were pushing past each other.
Grian was part of the few people who were late to school, The Select few
Who either slept in, or Had Choosen To just stay home.

It was a more peaceful approach, You Stayed behind so no one bothered You. You get last pick of food at the store though, That kinda sucks.

The Day Had Carried on, He had Attended Class and Learned about whatever nonsense the Teachers decided to scribble down this time.
Something about Grian That nobody understood was Why he hated Gym? He usually just sat out and Sometimes he Would Just skip in general. Nobody seemed to Really notice, or particularly cared to be Quite honest. Well, Except for J. He Had Always Wondered Why he was leaving, Why Didn't he Join the class? And Why was he Never in trouble for it?
once He had Found Grian Hiding behind the school, He had noticed him there alot, Mostly during when he was skipping, or for lunch.
Once Grian had fallen asleep back there after school, Honestly J couldnt blame him. It was incredibly Peaceful.
Sometimes he Waited for Him, He wanted to Meet him - to Get his Name. But with his luck whenever He Had Skipped or decided to Sit there During Lunch He was never around.

Strange happened Today, Grian Had to Participate in Gym.
He wasn't Quite pleased about it either.
"I am Sorry Sweetie, but, Your Grades are too low, If You don't start doing Something then You're going to have to retake the year." Okami explained Softly. Something about the way this Girl Talks can make even Your own Death sound Calming.
"THATS RIGHT MAGGOT NOW GO CHANGE, I WANNA SEE YOU SWEAT."
Now Rowan, He was the Exact Opposite.
Grian Huffed, Leaving to Change with the Rest of the class.
The Uniform Didn't Fit,
It was Tight around the Chest and His Thighs. He was going to Need a New Uniform, wonder where he'll get the money for that..
He Looked over himself, Had He Grown? He definitely Didn't seem taller. He was still too short to touch the roof, Just like last year.
Somebody was Watching Him.
Well, it was More Then just somebody. His Friends, Well the old Ones.
This was Partially why he hated Gym,
The Gaps between activities Left a Gaping opportunity for people to Question, Confront and Pick at Him.
---------

People (and monsters? Aliens?) in the Gym were Buzzing. Some Talking about Sports, others were Dancing around the topic of Homework and If they were gonna do it or not.

Rowan Stood infront of the line of Students, "EVERYBODY WERE PLAYING DODGE BALL, BUT WERE DOING IT WEIRDLY, PARTNER UP."

People stepped aside Eachother, Moving To Their Friends, Hoping to Partner with somebody they liked.
That Left Grian, Standing awkwardly in the Center of the room.

Well He wasn't Entirely Alone.

J Took a Deep Breath, Stepping Up Behind Him. "Hey"

Rowan Was Eyeing them Suspiciously, Nobody was sure why, it was just a pass time of his.

When Grian Didn't Answer J moved Onto step Two. Stepping Infront of Him. he Blocked his View of the Rest of the class.

Grian Looked up at Him confused.
J Sighed, This Really wasn't Helping His Self Confidence. was He Really That invisible to this guy?

"Do you Want To Be on my Team?"

"Me?"

"Who Else?"

"Oh, Okay.."

The Game Had Began, Lasting around a good 10 minutes. People were taken out Quickly, Including Grian And J Who were one of the First few out.

---------

J Had Checked off His Imaginary List, Watching Grian Leave down the School's side walk. Now that He had spent some personalized Time With the dude. Which Yes, Gym counts. He thought It was about time They Officially met.

He Casually Followed Him, Shoving His Hands in his Pockets.
The Area Of Town Grian had lead him To wasn't exactly Where someone like Him Would be Caught.
The Entire Block was Run Down, Packed with small Dark houses. Each one falling apart in its own way.

While walking he caught himself Thinking.
Would Grian think he was Weird for following Him?
Probably not.

The house Grian Had Been Aproaching Matched the rest of the street perfectly.

The Old Home must have been little more then a glorified shed, only one of Four glass windows remained, Wavy And yellowed by time.
The roof sagged and The outside was covered in a kind of tile that had been ripped away in places to expose the wooden skeleton beneath.

He Had to Admit it Wasn't very Nice, Or Very Structurally sound.

J Froze when Grian paused at the front door, Unsure If now was a good time to let himself in.
He scanned the area. Spotting J, Who didn't look very inconspicuous, I Mean what kinda Rich guy is walking around A Dump like this?
Unlocking the door Quickly he let Himself in side.

J Approached the House, Wondering What Grian was thinking when he saw Him. Was He Relieved? Was he Scared? Was it really a good idea to knock on his door ??

J paused, Inches away from the doorway.
Maybe..Maybe tomorrow is Better..

He stepped away from the Old house, Heading Home.
Maybe He Can Catch Him on the way to school.

-----------

J Had Got Up Early The Next Morning, strange as He usually slept in Till his Alarm went off, Maybe it was the anticipation?
He Adjusted the Jacket piece Of His Uniform, looking over himself in the Mirror. Is this Good enough?

Going over one more time, He let his Shoulders relax. The beige Fabric draped down at his sides.
Maybe he should change his hair?
The thought broke out While he was Adjusting his glasses. Would Grian even Notice?

He Decided Against it, And Left the Building. For school.

He Made it Just in time to spot Grian, Undoing his Hood and walking into Carls store.
He followed Him in, watching him Casually. He Wasn't entirely sure what he found so facinating about the Guy. He was Just a Regular
Highschooler like everyone else.

Or was He?

J Paused, Watching Him scan the shelves. He didn't look Regular.

Grian left the shop sighing, He Had never bought anything. it was more of a Way to get out of Bed Y'Know?

J Decided it was now Or Never, Pushing Himself To Step up to Grian while the Guy was pulling back on his Hood.
"Hey" He started slow and Regular.
When Grian Ignored him, Just like in the Classroom.
This time To get his attention He took a more Intimate Aproach.
He Wrapped His Arms around him, Hugging the smaller boy from behind.
Grian Shouted surprised, freezing in place.
J grinned, Moving infront of Grian, "You Finally notice!, Took You Long enough." (But srsly dude yr kinda creepy)

Grian looked up at Him, rolling back recent events, contemplating on if He knew this guy.
"We Go to the same School." J Pointed Out, Studying His expression.
"Oh..Okay.."
Now to start a conversation! What to say, what to say..
"Soooo - there was a lot of Noise Coming From your house yesterday, Whats that all about?"

J Mentally Slapped himself Almost Right afterwards, Wow dude way to make yourself look like a Creep.

Grian Blinked, surprised. "..How do you Know where I Live??"

Hurry! Where's Your Excuse??

"Well- I Moved in!"

Good job dude, Just a little longer.

"....To my house?"

"N-No! Nearby-"

Grian Looked at him Skeptically. but eventually just nodded, buying his LIES.
"well, I have to get Home before my Brother does.." He went to step past J, Before He was blocked from the Stores exit.
"Wait!"
Grian Looked around, Wondering if there was anybody Nearby that could help him.
"Do You Want to Hang Out or something?" J Questioned, Not seeming to set off the 'You Can Say No to this' vibe.
"I Don't Even Know You.."

That stung

'well You Could! We Could Go Watch a Movie- maybe have dinner, or If you're the Casual type of Guy we could Just Go to the park-"

"This sounds more like a date."

J Burned up, Looking away. "Definitely not! I just- What If I Helped You With Your Homework?? Your Grades ARE horrendously bad.
Uh- no offense.."

"Well.." Grian Glanced off to the Side, something about this Guy didn't seem right..he was Acting Extremely Dodgy. Was He Nervous? "I Mean..I Guess?"

"Great! I know the way, We should go."

Not creepy at all dude.

Grian sighed, Atleast His Brother would Be Home. Honestly, He wasn't Sure if that was a Good Or Bad thing at this point.

--------------------

Upon Entering Grian's House he Had Realized it was Just as unfavorable as
It was Outside.

The blue Wallpaper was torn Exposing the drywall. In Some places there were Indents, As if Something Had Been thrown, or Had Hit the wall before.

The Furniture Was Entirely worn and and used. Aswell as a sickly green, not fitting for the room at all.

The coffee table looked nice tho.

"This is your house..?" J questioned shocked.

Grian blushed, Grabbing his Arm, "we're going upstairs.."

It wasn't that J was Trying to be rude, He was just surprised as he had never seen so much off brand furniture before.

Grian Closed His door behind them, Sighing.

His room wasn't any better then the one before hand.
There was a Low table in the center of the room, it was covered with a thin black blanket, though you could tell it was made entirely of boxes. It supported a small table lamp and Plenty of Papers With what seemed like a few years worth of homework.
It looked like there was a mattress in the corner of the room, made to be dressed as a bed.
The rest of the room was bare paneling, Lined with a shabby dark carpet.

Grian Pressed against the door frame. He didn't know this Guy, or His position in the World. Was He going to Say Something? Or Maybe he's the type to Gossip, Spread Just how Deprived He really was.
"Sorry.." Was all He Muttered.

J Smiled, Patting Grians head. Getting a confused look in return.
He Honestly Didn't Care How Shitty the room Looked, he was Here to Have fun with this Guy, and His living conditions aren't going to change that.

---------------

After a Few hours of studying, Grian had Gotten Confident that His Grades
Might actually get Better.

It was as if A Whole Stretch of Algebra had been laid out in front of him

but it actually made sense *shocked sounds*

J Yawned, Outstretching his arms. watching Grian silently.
The smaller boy was jotting down his Notes.
J scanned the room, It was getting Dark and was about time he left.
out of the Corner of his eye he spotted something bright pink tucked under the edge of the Box - Table.

He waited, Making sure Grian wasn't looking and Slipped the paper out.

It was a Card, Opening it up the insides Were Lined with Colorful lines
And hand drawn balloons.
Bright white words lined the top of the right page. 'Happy Seventh Birthday!🎂🎉'

Grian looked up from The Notebook, His Eyes Darting from J To the Card. He Went to Grab it From Him, But J held it out of his Reach. "Hey! Give that back-"

"Wait, When Was Your Birthday?"

"It Doesn't matter, That's mine. Now give it back!" Grian was Determined to Climb him if Necessary.

"You Can Have it when You Answer Me." He stated, Standing up When Grian Attempted Grabbing at the Card Again.

"That's not fair!"

"To Bad."

"J, Give Me the Card!" In return,
J Held the Card Behind His Back, Making it even more difficult for Grian to grab it.

He Huffed, Crossing his Arms.
"Fine, It was last week..."

J Paused, Scanning the room.
He probably didn't have a party, that was just a guess though.

His Attention Turned to the Window, The Sun let in a Red aura, as it set over the rest of the neighborhood.

"I Think Its Time For me To go." he insisted reluctantly.

Grian Dropped his arms, "Oh.."

j wasn't sure if Grian was Genuinely Disappointed or if he was being sarcastic. "Hey, Don't feel bad. We can see each other at school tomorrow."

"Its Saturday.."

J Laughed Nervously, waving him off.

--------------
Time Skip sponsored by Joe but without the poetry.
Because I am unoriginal and stole this joke from *insert random author here*
---------------

It was Rainy Days like these when Grian wished he had a phone, it Wasn't like he Could call anybody Though, but atleast He wouldn't be so lonely.

Most of the Time being alone is Peaceful, And rain is soothing.
Imagine if You a distaste for un orderly things. Wouldn't watching the rain be so peaceful?
Everything falls in time with each other, the water pools so perfectly on the ground. The sounds are all in sync.
When He Stepped outside, Rain wasn't the only thing that Greeted Him.

"J?"

"Heyyy! I Decided to show up early."

Was He supposed to come over?

"I was Thinking we Could Go Somewhere Today."

"like what..?"

"Well, We Could Go see that movie I was talking about."

"Are You Sure you're not trying to ask me out?"

"I mean, if thats what You Want."

Grian Blushed, ignoring his Comment.
J offered Him a Spot under his Umbrella, Leading him down the sidewalk.

--------------------------

He Had Brought Grian back around 8, long movie I guess.
Though looking over his house, something was different..

"Hey J..Would You mind coming in with me for a moment..."

"sure," he smiled, letting Grian Lead him in.

The houses lights were all lit, Which startled Grian. He was Sure he had left them off! Was His Brother Home? No, hes not back till 9. was Somebody else In their house..?

"...J Did You Tell anybody about this..?"

J looked over at him Confused, "About what?"

"About us!??"

"us? Grian what's go--"

"Shhhshhhh somebody is upstairs.."

"Hey, we'll go check It out Okay? I Am Sure it's Nothing." J Insisted, Leading Him towards the Stairs. Grian Tried to protest.

"I See something.. Stay Here." J Climbed the Stairs alone, Silently, Checking Grians room and then motioning For Him to come up Aswell.

"what is it...?" He was Holding his breath, by J's Expression he had Figured something bad had Taken place.

"Maybe You should See For Yourself,"

Grian Cautiously Stepped into the Room, Something was Different?
Maybe it was the Black Fabric lining the window's. His boxes Were gone, Is this an actual table?
There was a Bedframe under that old mattress too..

Nope it was definitely the Curtains.

"J! What Did You Do??" Grian Turned to Him Confused.

"Don't you Like it?"

"I..I Do- Isn't This to Much?? We Barely Know each other!"

"Hey, Calm down." He stepped Closer, Gently Touching the Smaller boys face, "It's Perfectly Fine, Besides. It looked like you Could use Some Cheering up."
Grian looked off the side, Averting his Gaze. But the sudden Rosiness of his Cheeks Gave Him away.
J Grinned, "Happy Birthday."
He pulled Grian Closer, Wrapping His Arms around Him.
Grian felt Himself press in, soft and warm. The feel of his body close to his own soothed him so much more than he had expected.
It took a while, a long while, He pulled away. Looking back up at J, who had gone quiet and was staring down at him. It made him uncomfortable, though he wasn't able to look away once their eyes met.
It was...unusual. He had seen him in school so many times before, but today he seemed so different.
J pulled him closer.
What was this? Why was his head spinning so suddenly?
J Had leaned in, kissing him softly.

Grian pushed away, His thoughts Promptly pushing in all the reasons why this was a terrible idea.

"J-"

"Shh.. Stop thinking about it."

"I-I..I Think You should Go Home.."

J Nodded slowly, letting Him Go. "See You Tomorrow?"

Grian had already Turned away, pondering over everything, His Eyes Fixated on the grounded.

J Closed the front door behind Him, Leaning against the old Building.
He Let His Breath out slowly, it was Shakey. He Was Alot more nervous then he had hoped he came across.
Had He just ruined all of this?

I guess he'll find out tomorrow.

-------TW --------

Grian Ran his Fingers along the finished wall, sighing.
A Tall figure Stepped into the door way, catching his eye.

He had Darker Hair and a Condescending smirk.
"Who Was that?"

Grian's Heart skipped a beat, What was He doing Back So early??

"n-nobody."

the Guy Laughed, "I am Not Stupid, Spill the beans."

Grian Held his arms crossed against his chest, "Really... He's no one"

"No one? Does No one do all this?" He Motioned around the room, stepping towards Grian. "Who is he Really?"

"He's from school.."

"Oh really? I thought you would have at least Considered what I said To You Last Year." Stepping closer.

"I-"

"I said this would happen! How Could You Sell Yourself Out like this After everything I've told You?"

"I'm no-"

"How Long Have You Even Known This Guy?"

His Gaze Drifted to the floor.

He was Right, He Hadn't known Him for that Long. He was Really selling himself out..

"Grian" he lifted his face gently to look him in the eyes.

Grians Breath Caught in His Throat

"I am Your brother, Listen to me."

He Stepped Back Uncomfortably, The taller man Grinning.

"People are Just going to use You, You're Fragile and Their Attracted to that."

"no-"

"Yes! How Could You Let Someone Do This?" He Gestured to the room around him Violently, "We're Not some Kind Of Charity! We Don't Accept Donations unless we Have Earned them, And You know Damn well that You haven't."

The Man Had His Arms Crossed, His Agrivated Expression pushed Grian Further into his corner.

"honestly, You're so Naive.."

Grian had Muttered a Low Apology, mainly Frustrated with himself, Attempting to leave the room.

The Brother slammed His Hands against the wall, pinning Grian there with his Body.
They stayed like that for a painfully Long moment. Grian's Heart was Beating Harshly in his chest.

His Hand Moved to Grians face, cupping it gently. He Moved in,  Closing the Gap Harshly.

-------TW --------

The Next Morning J had Snuck out to School earlier then usual. it wasn't Really sneaking out as he lived alone, But the thought made Him Feel like a rebel, don't take that from him.

He Leaned Casually on The Lockers. Well, He was Trying To be casual, His Fidgeting wasn't helping though.

It wasn't his fault He was Nervous, Wouldn't You Be? He had Just confessed to The love of his life!
Well that might be over doing it, but if You Asked He would definitely call it love.

some time had passed, He had become not so sure his True love was Showing up when the Other students started piling into the Hall's

He Decided Skipping was Okay this Time, It was for a Good Cause anyway.

Yet as Time went on He Got this Deep nauseous feeling in His Chest that he wasn't quiet sure how to Describe. His Head felt Clouded, What If Something happened? Maybe He Had Gotten Hurt! But Grian skips all the time doesn't he? Would he skip just because of Yesterday? Was this an Easier way of Rejecting him?
Maybe He should Go Find him? Where would he be...His house? Was it to far to show up 2 days in a row? Or was it 3? Or maybe it was what he needed! Maybe Grian IS hurt and Is Expecting him Right now!?

Something caught his Attention, Somebody small walking towards the school.

J wondered if it was Grian? Should he go to him? But what if He thought it was too weird that j had skipped for him? How will he approach him then?

It took just a Few minutes of (intense) staring to figure out it was infact His love who was Trudging towards The School.

J had Considered Hiding, Maybe watching from a Distance, a considerable one. Yet it was The Confident part of him that Pushed his Way out the glass doors and up to Grian.

"Hey?" He questioned Confused, when the boy just walked past him.

"Grian! What are you Doing?"

Grian had stepped past The Glass doors (And J) into the main Floor. he Scanned the walls, There was no clock. He wondered How late he was?

The author suddenly wondered how this boy tells time and why she didnt let him have a phone.

J was Hurt! He Had Never Been so Blatantly ignored before.

For a moment He was Hesitant to Confront him, but like I said It was only for a moment.

He pushed infront of Grian, Who was Attempting to go up the stairs.

"J..?"

"Where Have You Been! Its almost time for Gym - And Why are You ignoring me??"

He was Especially upset that out of all the people who could've hurt him, it was Grian!

"i-" He Paused, Spilling everything Would be so easy. "I was busy..."

"Fine" J sighed, "Theres No Point In class anyways, the school day is mostly over. you might as well stay here and Tell me what you were doing."

all was silent for a minute until; "I should just go to Class-" It was Quite clear that he was Trying to Avoid the situation. he Tried to step past J Again.

"Hey," he Blocked the smaller ones path. "what's going on?" He spoke in a hushed, warm Tone.

"N-Nothing Really..I'm Fine."

J scoffed, crossing his arms, "That's the fakest line in the book, You're coming with me."

"Wait-" Grian tried to protest, Attempting to Step away Before J
Could Grab him, though he was too late and J was Already dragging Him out of the building.
-------------------

J Had one of The Biggest homes Grian had Ever Been in. It Basically screamed I have money

He Had Trapped Grian In the Bedroom. Blocking the door, Demanding He Explains what's going on.

"J, Let me out!"

"No, You're Acting Really Weird! Whats going On?"

"How Would YOU know if I am Acting off? We still Barely Know Each other."

He Sighed, He Hadn't Expected Grian To Be this stubborn.

"Then Let Me Get to know You, Stop shutting me off And Just sit down to talk."

Grian Was Silent for a Moment, Contemplating, Who was He Kidding How could that Be a Good Idea??

"You need to move." He attempted stepping past him again.

J Was Getting Upset that Grian wouldn't trust him, He hasn't done anything To be untrustworthy has he? Hes done nothing but help him out Why wont he just let him listen?

"J, Please! I need to get back home befor-"

"Before what?"

Grian went silent again. It Wasnt that he didnt Trust him, Hell he had more trust for him then most people.

But just telling him everything like this, What if it Backfired..?

Split moment thinking was what J liked to call It, That was when he did things like pushing Grian Against the bedroom wall.

Grian Yelped, Shrinking Beneath him.

"Grian, Nothing is Going to happen if You just tell me what's going on."

"Let Me Go!" He Cried, attempting to Wiggle out from under him.
"P-Please!"

J Watched His Eyes quietly, What was Going on? ..Was He scared?

He Made Grian look back up at Him, "what's wrong?"

Maybe..Maybe It Is better to tell Him..

-------------------

"Are..Are you being Serious..?"

Grian blinked back His Tears, He didn't Want to Be infront of him Anymore.

"H-Hey Don't Cry-" J Pulled Him in for a Hug, Trying To Comfort him.
"This...It Isn't Your Fault."

"Y-Yes It Is!" Grian Insisted, Pushing Himself Away From him.
"Look at Me!" He gestured to himself, His voice Cracking. "I Look like a Girl!"

"No- Gria-"

"Thats why You wanted to date me too isn't it."

J hesitated, Unsure what to Do, Or Say.

"I Knew it.. I-I Have to go.." He turned for the door.
J Grabbed his Arm, pulling Grian right back into him.

"You're not going anywhere, I Am Not Letting You go back there okay?"

"J-"

"No, Its fine. I have an Extra room, (or 12) You can sleep there."

Grian Gave in reluctantly, Leaning Further into him.

------------------

The Next day Was Silent. It wasn't A Comforting Silence either. It was just Silence.

The Kind that Was Stuffy Y'know? It was Intoxicating. You would do Anything to get out of it.

The walk to school was Intoxicating, Neither of them said anything. They weren't entirely sure what to say, A lot Had Already been said and it felt as if there were no more words between them.

The School day was awkwardly long and Drawn out, It Felt as if it was never going to end, but as well as that it was already to far over.

when it Came to Gym Grian Had Already forgotten that he needed To Participate. He was To busy thinking, Whats he going to do? If He Goes Home tonight His Brother is going to be PISSED, but he Can't stay with J Forever can He?

He Paused on the thought, Staying with Him wasn't so bad was it? J was Nice and It was Pretty clear he was a Major improvement from his brother.

He pondered on the thought for another Moment. well, That is Until Rowan Shouted For him to go Change.

His uniform still didn't fit which just made him more self conscious.

--

He went to close His Locker, Most people Had Left the Changing room. He was Often the one to wait until everyone had left to start. He Couldn't Change in the same room as someone else, it only made him feel worse.

He Felt Somebody behind him, They Had brushed just close enough to make his skin crawl.

He Spun around Quickly, Taking a step back towards his locker.

There WAS somebody behind him. Well, A couple somebodys and they were there for a reason.

Sam Had His Arms Crossed, He had been the one trying to get Grian's Attention. While Taurtis Was off to the Side, stepping Back And Forth on his Heels impatiently. it was Clear he didn't wanna be Here.

"Dude, what's been going on?" Sam Stepped towards him, Making Him step back.

Grians Eyes darted around the room, This wasn't the best situation to be in. He had Been Avoiding these 2 for months and Definitely didn't want to Jump back into things now.

"What happened To You?"

He Shifted Uncomfortably, Backing into the locker. His Gaze flickered over the rest of the room and then back to sam.

"maybe we should just leave.." Taurtis spoke anxiously, At this point he seemed as uncomfortable as Grian was.

"But.." Sam Didn't wanna Give up, He wanted To Know what happened to his friend. he looked Back Over to Grian, He needed Something, a Reason. an Excuse would be enough.

"you can ask him again later." Taurtis Insisted, Grabbing Sams arm Cautiously.

Sam Was Hesitant, But he eventually Gave in, Leaving.

Grian sighed Lightly, Leaning against the locker.

J Stepped down into the locker room, Adjusting his glasses when he Spotted Grian.

Something was Wrong, Why doesn't He ever answer him?

He Stepped closer, Waving To Catch His Attention.

Grian Stood Up Quickly, Locking Eyes with him.

"Are You Okay?"

He Nodded Hesitantly, "i'm fine i jus-

"You Can tell Me..." J was Right up close at this point, When did this happen?

Grian held his breath, he didn't like this. Why can't He just keep these things to himself?

"it's Nothing..really."

"Are you sure? Those guys weren't bothering You? "
Grian barely muttered a disagreement before J continued. "Is it something else bothering you then? I've noticed u Don't hear me sometimes, But I thought you might just be Distracted...
Is it Him..? Are you sure you don't need my help..?"

---------------

The School Day was Ending. Normally, This is something you anticipate. But today.. Well lets just say Things don't always go Your Way.

J was Leading Grian Out of the school.

When something goes Wrong it can be hard to forget or brush off, the smallest things can set you off balance, Your entire day is Gone! Or has it already been a week? A month? A year...

the school day might've been over, but the Sun didn't wanna go down just yet, It beat down onto the pavement. Wasn't it october? Is this the time for sun? Or maybe its june.. Does anyone know what day it is??

Grian looked at up at J, who had stopped walking.

Was he going to ask Where their going? Oh God had he been Dreading this all day.

His Thoughts Paused when he had Seen where J Was Directed.

Near the Outside wall Stood the Guy, You know who, The Villan of the story.

He had Worn Darker Clothes to Blend in with the Greenery around Him, Casually Leaning Against the White Concrete Wall.
If You watched, You could Tell He was Looking for something And if you looked close enough you could see the Red Guidelines Following his Gaze.

J Was in a Predicament Here. He Couldn't Let Grian Go with him, not after he had spillt The Tea the other day, but He didn't necessarily Have the Power to Bring him home.

But what if They snuck out? would the guy go after them If they managed an escape?

movement caught his Attention, The guy was walking closer. Is It To late?

His Eyes Flicked Over To Grian, Who was Already watching him in return.

He could tell, What he was thinking, What He wanted to say or Suggest, what He Wanted to ask. Is it Really to Late?

He was Only a few feet away now, But they could still make it. They would have to run. What If He Distracted him? Or maybe-

"J. Its Okay."

But He's Lying, Its the Farthest thing from okay.

"Grian-"

"Really..I'll Be Okay."

He's Strong, Metaphorically speaking

J Hesitated, Watching as the Man Walked off With His Grian.

-------------------------------

A Day Had Passed, Well what you would presume was a day. When you're distracted it can be hard to tell!

if you looked out the window, The sun was set in a position that Said 6, You know what I am talking about. The Sun Had Just Dipped behind The Shabby Houses Of Grians neighbors. For a moment it was peaceful, He Leaned into the wooden frame, thinking.

It was Quiet, for more then just him.

It was an awfully long silence, No cars, People, or Animals. Looking over this side of town definitely Gave You the 'this place is dead' vipe. And the uneasy silence added to it.

The quiet was broken with a soft thud down the side of the house.

Grian was still fixated On the view before him, Thinking About an overwelming number of things. Having that, He Hadn't noticed J until they were Eye to Eye.

He Jumped Suprised, his Voice Cracking as he spoke, "J?! What are Yo-"

"Shh!" J Brought a Hand to silence him, Motioning him back as He climbed in threw thw window.

"What are you doing here??" Grian spoke in what he thought was a whisper, But infact was just a Higher pitched version of his regular voice.

"I had an idea" j whispered To Him, stepping closer. "Let's leave."

"Leave? We can't go out right now my broth-"

"no, Grian.." he Cupped His Face Gently. Grian looked up at him Confused.

"Lets Leave this town. We Could run away and Live somewhere else! I have plenty of money, We could even get a little cabin out in the woods. We Could Be Happy, Together."

"J-" this was to much Too Sudden!

"Listen I know Its Alot to ask, But I Promise IT Would be so much Better then what's Happening to you here!"

"But My Brother-"

"That's Exactly why We Have to Leave!" J Grabbed His Hands, Stepping back towards the window.

Grian's Head was Buzzing, Was It worth it to Leave like this?

"A-Are You Sure? What if He calls the polic-"

"Grian, Do You Trust me?"

The Hesitation Came First, Then He Couldn't Speak. of course He Trusted Him, If he Didn't trust him they Wouldn't be in this mess. He wouldn't have told him Anything. He Wouldn't Have Fell into Him Just now. He Wouldn't Be Climbing Out the window.

The Grass Was Damp, Squishing Beneath them as They ran.

The Wind Breathed Quietly, silently pushing the clouds and revealing the stars.

It was a Nice night for an escape.

Glad u actually read that, take a guess how many words I used lol.
