Emily's POV

Y/N and Ethan had what seemed like a lot to talk about, so Gray and I snuck out of the room, not daring make a sound to disturb them. We snuck over into the boys apartment and sat on the couch. The second Gray and I reached the couch, we flopped down, and let out a deep breath that had seemed to be stuck in our lungs. Gray then laid his head onto my lap and just stared at the ceiling. I began to pet his hair; running my fingers through his hair, twisting it, gently just stroking his hair to calm his anxiety.

"What're you thinking about?" I said, my voice cracking a bit as I broke the silence of the room.

"What're they gonna do?" He replied, sadness obvious in his voice.

"What do you mean?" I asked, a bit puzzled by his question.

"What if they break up?" Gray said with a panicked voice. He, no longer laying in my lap. He say straight up, panic in his eyes, tears brimming his eyes, begging to fall. "Ethan can't go through something like this alone! His anxiety will just eat him until he's nothing!" He cried, tears now pouring from his eyes. "What about Y/N? Oh God! Emily! What about her?" His head now hung in his hands.

Grayson sat there in front of me. In my eyes I finally saw past his happiness and perfection. He let it slip. He told me both he and Ethan had horrible anxiety and that if something were to trigger, like he and Y/N breaking up, he might snap. That's scary, because Y/N's the same way.

I'm honestly surprised they, especially Y/N, have made it this far. Again, I'm so happy they've found each other, because even through what's gone on, they're both staying strong and they're both so in love with each other. I don't think they understand how in love with each other they both are.

"Gray? Babe? Look at me, please." I begged. Tears were now brimming my eyes, but I didn't dare let them fall, because I knew I had to be strong for Grayson right now. "They won't break up. I know things are tough right now, but I can assure everything will be okay soon! I love you, babe. Please don't worry too much. They're strong. We're strong. We'll all make it through this together and end up okay." I said, my heart beating so hard I could hear it in my ears.

He nodded in response and gave me a small smile.

After about a minute, Gray finally spoke up: "I love you." He said, a small, weak smile on his face.

I leaned into his body and held him and he held me back. I felt a few tears land in my hair; a few tears finding their way from his eyes to falling onto my nose and gently fall into his pants. I had my ear against his chest. I listened to how fast it was beating and I felt how uneasy his breathing was.

After a few minutes, his heart began to slow down, his breathing was back to normal, and his tears no longer fell from his eyes.

I sat up and looked at him. His eyes were a bit red and red, but there still lay a small smirk on his face. I leaned in and gently pecked his lips. Once I pulled away he leaned back in, but kissed me longer and we both ended up smiling like idiots into the kiss.

"Can we do something nice for them?" Gray asked once pulling away.

"What do you have in mind?" I asked.

"I don't know. Uh- what does Y/N like to do? E will be happy as long as she's happy." He said, thinking as saying so.

"Uh- I- hm... Volleyball? Never mind that's a lot of exercise and small clothes that she probably won't want to do or wear." My mind was drawing a blank.

"Yeah." Gray sighed"

We thought in silence for a minute, until...

"Disney!" I screamed, scaring Gray more than I had intended. "Sorry." I giggled at his reaction.

"She does seem to watch Disney movies like every day." Gray chuckled.

"Let's go to Disneyland!" I squealed in excitement with a huge smile on my face and excitement building in my chest.

"Yes! I'll go buy the tickets right now before they deny us!" Gray laughed.

My heart fluttered at the sound of his laugh.

"Sounds good!" I agreed, a big smile still on my face and my cheeks now glowing a crimson color.

-

"Bought 4 tickets to Disneyland!" Grayson cheered has he printed all of our tickets.

"They're going to be so excited ah!" I said, my cheeks now burning from how long I've been smiling.

"We haven't been to Disneyland yet, so I'm just as excited I think." Gray laughed again.

Finally, all four tickets had been printed. I joined my hand with Grayson's and we made our way to mine and Y/N's apartment. We barged in, completely forgetting what had happened now so long ago.

When we walked in, Y/N and Ethan sat happily upon the couch, once looking at someone's phones, but now looking at Grayson and I.

As if it were planned, Grayson and I both, in sync, yelled: "We're going to Disneyland!"

Ethan and Y/N looked at each other with huge smiles now stretching from ear-to-ear on both their faces.

"When did this happen?" Y/N asked, her cheeks now glowing a cute rose color.

"About 15 minutes ago." I giggled.

"I love spontaneous plans!" Y/N squealed. "How long are we going?" She asked afterward.

"4 days and we're staying at the Disney Hotel for 5 nights!" I replied. "We got two rooms. We can split it where we're separate or each couple stays together." I continued.

"As much as I love you, Gray, I think I'm gonna stay with my lovely girlfriend if it's okay with her." He said looking at Grayson and then winking over at Y/N.

"Em, I love you like hell, but I'm staying with my boyfriend." She giggled, leaning her face into the crease of Ethan's neck.

"Well, that was easy!" Gray chuckled.

"When do we head over?" Ethan asked, a smirk on his face.

"We sleep at the hotel tomorrow and then the day after that is our first day at one of the parks." I replied.

"I haven't been to Disney in so long! I'm actually so excited! I swear I'm 5 years old at heart." Y/N giggled in excitement.

"You're so cute." Ethan chuckled and kissed her lips sweetly.

"We'll pack and head over tomorrow, sound good?" Gray asked us all.

"Yup!"

"Perfect!"

"Sounds good to me!"

We all replied.

"Hey Em, Ethan's sleeping over tonight." Y/N reminded me.

"Sounds good." I replied.

"Wanna sleepover?" Gray asked me.

"Thank you!" I said relieved.

"Ouch." Y/N laughed.

"I'm just kidding, but yes I'd love to, Gray." I smiled at him.

I then headed into my room, grabbed my essentials, and then Gray and I headed off back into his apartment.

I couldn't wait for Disneyland in a couple of days.
