"You're not here." Grayson said through clenched teeth, holding back a sob. "I watched you die. You're dead so just leave me alone." He stood up as Seth knelt down next to him. "Get out of my head! You're not real!" He yelled, fresh tears streaming down his face.
Seth looked genuinely confused and scared before sighing and standing as he looks at the other, a desperate hand reaching out to touching his face. "Grayson I'm here, I'm right here." He whispers, "I didn't die, I never died." He whispers, his eyes soft as he gazed at the other. "Touch me Grayson, I'm real. I'm solid. I'm right here. Do you really think I would really abandon you, love?" He asks gently.
Grayson stared up at him in disbelief. "But I saw…I thought.." He trailed off, reaching up to touch Seth's chest where his heart was and feeling a steady beat. "Oh.." He paused for a couple seconds before taking a soft step towards Seth and gently wrapped his arms around his middle, staring down at the floor while a few stray tears rolled down his cheeks. "I..I'm sorry.." He whispered.
Seth gazed at the other and kissed his cheek, pulling him close. His eyes are soft as he keeps the other close. "Sh, shh… It's okay baby. I'm right here for you love." He whispers. He ran his hand through Grayson's hair his eyes soft. "Don't be sorry, I'm staying right here for you." He murmured.
"I..I can't tell what's real or not. I can't remember.." Grayson said quietly through the tears. "Everything is so fuzzy.." He added in a whisper. "I'm sorry though…I'm sorry because I know you..that you're probably in more pain than I'll ever be and..and I couldn't help you…I couldn't stop you from hurting.."
Seth listened to his words, listened to what he was saying. "First thing in the morning tomorrow, we're going to find help, okay?" He shook his head and presses a soft kiss to his forehead. "We're both in pain, baby. You're in pain, and your pain is just as valid as mine. We're gonna get through this together. I promise." He murmured softly. "You mean the world to me."
Grayson let his eyes shut, relaxing slightly into Seth's arms. "I love you.." He murmured, letting himself calm down for a few more minutes before glancing up at Seth. "What happens..when you die?" He asked quietly. "Where do you go?"
"I love you too baby…" he murmured softly
He shut his eyes for a moment. Seth paused at the question and sighs softly. "I suppose for a demon it's a restart, really. No one really knows. It's thought that a demon gets another chance at life, or that they just die completely." He sighed softly and ran his hand through Grayson's hair.
"You would be okay though, right? They wouldn't be able to hurt you?" Grayson pulled away and took Seth's hand, leading him over to the bed where he sat down, gently pulling his fingers through Seth's hair.
He shook his head. "Nah. I'm to stubborn to die." He laughs quietly as he cuddles the other. Seth follows after her and hummed as he looks around. He settles down as well and leans into his hands, somewhat dozing.
“Get some sleep, Seth.” Grayson said softly, moving back to the top of the bead and holding his arms out to him. “C’mon.” He smiled gently.
Seth wasn't going to argue with the idea of sleep. Seth eagerly crawled into the others lap and cuddles him happily. He gave a happy sigh.
Grayson gave a soft laugh and continued to pet his hair affectionately. "This reminds me of when we first met and you shoved your face in my stomach to get me to keep playing with your hair." He said, shifting himself downward so that they were both laying with Seth draped across his chest.
Seth purred softly. "I love it when you play with my hair." He mumbles as he slowly nuzzles closer. "And you can't blame me for wanting to snuggle you. You're perfect for cuddling." He coos happily as he slowly dozes off.
"You're perfect for everything, darling." Grayson replied in a whisper. "I'll see you in the morning." He added before spending the remainder of the night lying awake, lost in thought.
(Timeskip?)
(Yup, morning ig)
(I can start if you want)
(Ack! Sorry! I was busy yesterday and had an appointment today. But I can start!)
Seth was awake, his body curled around Grayson protectively. He was somewhere in-between asleep and awake, his tail flicking back and forth as he cuddles Grayson. He yawned softly and sat up, his eyes scanning the room. He blinks a few times as he tries to clear the gunk from his eyes. He figured he'd let Grayson sleep. He ran his hand gently through the others hair, his eyes soft.
Grayson stretched slightly and rolled over, pressing his face up against Seth's hip. "Go back to sleep.." He mumbled, pulling the demon back down and blinking at him sleepily. He rubbed at his eyes and shoved himself closer to Seth, trying to keep himself warm.
Seth hummed when he heard the other, chuckling quietly before he cuddles his sweet boyfriend. He pulls the blanket over them, making his body temperature a little warmer so that Grayson could stay warm. "I love you." He coos softly. "And alright… back to bed."
"Just for a little bit though.." Grayson murmured. "Have two back to back lectures today and work to catch up on." He added quietly, hoping he could at least squeeze in a few minutes of sleep to get him through the day.
He hummed softly. "Just sleep." He mutters quietly. He kisses his cheek and nuzzles into his shoulder. "I'll wake you up when it's time to go…" He murmured and smiled a little bit. He knew that Grayson needed some sleep. He curled closer, a sweet smile on his lips as he slowly dozed off.
Grayson nodded and closed his eyes.
It only felt like a couple of minutes before his alarm started going off and he was awake again. He shut the alarm off and sat up slowly, exhaustion weighing down on him as he started to get ready for the day. "Seth?" He called out quietly. "Are you staying here or coming with me?"
