Grayson Choice 15

Yes, Grayson Chooses Abby

No, Grayson Met Daniel Has Feelings for Him Instead

Grayson: has feelings for Daniel

Grayson stood outside the three-story apartment building trying to slow his heartbeat. At this rate, he was going to work himself into a frenzy. He wanted to handle this right. He really did. And yet he found a small handful of gravel on the sidewalk and scooped it up into his hand. Chalk residue stuck to his sweaty palms as he paced the sidewalk, trying to find the right window.

“Here goes nothing.”

He took a deep breath and threw the smallest pebble at the third-floor window, the one he knew overlooked Daniel’s bed. As soon as the rock clipped the window, he felt incredibly stupid. What am I even doing?

He could’ve gone to the bar. He could’ve hung out at the House of the Setting Sun and tried to run into Daniel that way. He could’ve been cool about it. He didn’t need to be standing here just after dark throwing rocks at someone’s window like a total creeper.

He dropped the remaining pebbles and turned.

That’s when the window creaked open and a familiar face appeared.

“Grayson?”

“Hey.” Grayson wiped his sweaty palms on his jeans. “How are you?”

Daniel laughed. “I’m fine. How are you, Romeo?” He gestured at the window. “You going to recite some poetry now or something?”

Grayson laughed. “No.”

“You better come up then. Go to the front door. I’ll buzz you in.”

Grayson walked around to the front of the building and stood nervously outside the glass entrance. Several excruciatingly long heartbeats later, a buzzer sounded and Grayson pulled the door open.

Daniel stood on the third floor landing, bare chested and barefoot with only black silk pants on. He smiled when Grayson appeared on the landing below.

“Come on in,” he pushed open the door.

Grayson stepped into the apartment and found it was the same as it had been on his first visit. The impeccable kitchen. The inviting sofa. The soft glow of lamps well placed in the corners of the room.

“Can I get my hopes up that you’re here for my company alone?”

Grayson slid onto the kitchen barstool. “Yes.”

Daniel smiled, leaning one hip into the counter. “Can I get you something to drink? I don’t have any food in the house, but I’ll take you out for dinner if you want.”

“I imagine it would be pretty boring to watch me eat,” he said.

“You’d be surprised.” He went to the fridge and pulled out two see-through packs. Grayson recognized it as a blood pack, which he’d seen many of in his father’s lab.

Daniel misunderstood his gaze. “Does blood gross you out? I get it from a blood stand near Hyde’s Park.”

“I know,” Grayson said. When Daniel frowned, he added, “My father’s lab harvests and manufactures a lot of the blood in town.”

“Really?” Daniel looked genuinely surprised as he cut the corner off the blood pack and poured the contents into a pot on the stove. “So your father is a scientist.”

“Biochemist.”

“And your mother?”

“She teaches folklore at CCU.
