Grayson gazed at him for a second before crawling forward and wrapping his arms around Seth, burying his face in his neck. “Thank you.” He murmured, letting out a shaky breath. He felt safe, warm. He could trust Seth. It was okay now. “Thank you so much.” He whispered, squeezing his eyes shut and tightening his grip on the other.
Seth was surprised when the other hugs hum and he smiles a little bit before wrapping his arms around Grayson in return. "There's nothing to thank me for.' He replies, running a hand through Grayson's hair. He smiled at how sweet the other was. He slowly pulls back far enough so he could look Grayson in the eyes. He scanned his face for a moment, just memorizing his features. "May I kiss you?" He asks quietly.
“No, I should thank you. You have no idea how grateful I am for you, Seth.” He said, a small smile gracing his lips. “I think I’d pass out if you did that. I’m sorry.” Grayson replied quietly, expecting his answer to be ignored or criticized.
He smiled a little bit and held onto him. "I'm grateful for you." He whispers as he runs a hand through Grayson's hair. He looks at the other and nods. "Hey, if you don't want kisses in fear of passing out, that's you sugar." he mutters, smiling warmly at the other.
Grayson huffed at the nickname, resting his forehead on Seth’s shoulder. “Another time, I promise. You just..you caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting..whatever..just happened. I’m kinda lightheaded.” He sighed softly, leaning his head against Seth’s.
Seth nods and smiles a little bit. "That's okay. I don't mind it." He cuddles into the other happily, sighing in content. "Do you want to go get some food?" He asks curiously as he gazes at the other.
Grayson nodded, but made no move to get up. He was still a bit shaky, not used to feeling so happy while being so close to someone. “I love you, Seth..” he whispered, letting out a soft sigh and curling his fingers in his hair.
Seth held him gently, a smile gracing his lips as he sat there with Grayson. He rests his head on too of Graysons, his eyes shutting in bliss. "I love you too my sweet angel." He replies quietly, sighing quietly when he felt Graysons fingers in his hair.
"Angel? I'm not an angel. I'm a human." He murmured, feeling himself calm down enough. "Let's get food now, I can't stay out here forever." Grayson slid off of Seth and gazed up at him, smiling softly.
"Mm.. fair. But you're as sweet as sugar." He replies, gently helping the other up. "Alright. Let's go." He smiles gently taking Graysons hand. "You must be hungry."
Grayson glared at him momentarily, huffing gently. "Why do you have to keep complimenting me?" He grumbled, not being able to keep a small smile off his face as they stood. He stumbled a bit and held on to Seth's arm for support, taking his hand as he gained balance. "I'm starving, now that you mention it."
Seth hummed. "Because I can, and I want to." He replies as a warm smile graced his lips. He noticed the small smile and his own only grew at the sight. Seth helped him stand, making sure to support him when he stumbled. "I agree. I'm pretty hungry." He chuckled quietly.
"But then I get all flustered and blush and that's not very fun." He stuck his tongue out at Seth, beginning to walk towards the sidewalk. "What do you want to eat?"
"I think it's fun. You're so cute when you blush." Seth takes his hand gently, squeezing it softly. He stuck his tongue out in reply. "Hmm… I'd say you, but I don't think that's what you mean. How about your favorite restaurant?"
Grayson huffed and looked away from him, blushing lightly. "I don't really have a favorite, I don't eat out a lot. Is there anything you want to try? There's all sorts of ethnic food restaurants around here."
Seth chuckles quietly before humming in thought. "Hmm. Chinese sounds good." He giggles softly, his tail wagging under his clothes.
“Okay, it’s this way.” He turned a corner and walked in silence for a bit, realizing just how much he loved holding Seth’s hand and being close to him. He’d never fallen for someone this hard before. It was usually little crushes and those usually fizzled out pretty quickly.
They reached the Chinese place after a couple minutes. It was pretty busy around this time but luckily they found a table and sat down. “Pretty much everything is good here, so don’t worry about getting anything you won’t like.”
He smiled warmly as he felt Grayson's hand within his own. He found the other kind, cute and just all around perfect. He loved walking side by side next to his boyfriend. He had rarely fallen in love, maybe once when he was younger… maybe mid 40's? He wasn't sure. But he was glad to be beside Grayson.
He looked around the chinese place, inhaling the sweet and spicy mixes of food waltzing through the air. "It smells so good." He mutters, drooling a little before smiling at Grayson. "I guess I'll get what you're having since I'm kinda new to all of this." He smiles widely at the other.
“Okay, do you like spicy things?” He asked, letting go of Seth’s hand to sit down. “If you do, you should get this,” he pointed to something on the menu, “It’s amazing.” Grayson leaned back in his chair and scanned his eyes over the menu.
"I love spicy foods." Seth squeals excitedly, smiling warmly at Grayson. It was rather funny how excited he got. "I'll take your word for it." He giggles as he settles across from Grayson. He takes his menu and skims through it eagerly looking rather content like this.
Grayson giggled a bit at his enthusiasm, ordering his food as the waiter came around and waiting for Seth to order as well before giving the waiter their menus and leaning back in his chair. “So..you love me then. How’d you figure that out?” He asked with a slight smirk, nudging his foot against Seth’s.
Seth hummed as he figured out what he wanted before going with what Grayson had recommended. He looked up at Grayson and ordered before thanking the other. Seth glanced up at Grayson and leaned on his hands. "I really just liked you, and it went from liking you to loving you." He replies quietly, a little smile on his lips.
"I'm sorry for all the questions..but..why? I mean..I don't really understand what you see in me." He said quietly, glancing down at the table shyly.
Seth listened intently before thinking for a moment. "Well… You were kind to me, and I loved it when you laughed, when we went to the library you seemed so content, so happy. And when we fell asleep together, I felt like I was experiencing heaven." He replies quietly. "You are heaven to me." He gently takes Grayson's hands.
Grayson blushed lightly and squeezed his hands in thanks but frowned a bit. “You’ve only known me for less than a week. What if I’m a horrible person, you just haven’t realized it?”
