A mix of 10 and 11 with Grayson please!
Thank you for the request, I hope you like it! P.S. should I make a part 2? It was already pretty long and there wasn’t really a resolution. Let me know!
It was no secret that Grayson’s fans were dedicated. They would do anything to make sure Grayson was happy, and showed no mercy to anyone that threatened that happiness in the slightest. To say they were brutal would be an understatement, which is why when Grayson suggested you keep your relationship a secret for awhile, you completely agreed. While supporting him from the sidelines was difficult at times, you were grateful for your privacy. You weren’t a social media superstar like he was, so any hate directed toward you weighed heavily on your mind. At the time, you definitely weren’t prepared for the volume of hate you would have received had the two of you gone public.
8 months after Grayson asked you to be his girlfriend, and a few months after the twins began appearing on TRL, he decided to fly you out to New York to see him in action. You were so excited to watch the man you loved do what he loved most. When the day arrived, Grayson took extreme precautions to ensure that none of his fans would see you enter the studio, asking security to lead you in the back door, and take you immediately to the dressing room. You stayed there, hanging out and messing around with the twins until they had to go film.
A production assistant lightly knocked on the door, opened it and said “Ethan, Grayson, we’re ready for you.” Both of their eyes lit up in excitement, huge smiles spreading across their faces. Grayson walked over to where you were sitting on the couch, leaned over, and pressed a kiss to your forehead.
“Bye, baby. See you in a little,” he said.
“Bye, Gray. Go knock em dead, I love you.”
He gave you a quick kiss, and ran for the door. “Love you!” he yelled on his way out. You couldn’t help but smile, feeling overwhelming happiness come over you. You leaned back into the couch, and rested your head on the back of it. What had you done to deserve to be able to call the most talented, humble guy in the world your boyfriend?
As time went on, your heart rate started to pick up. You couldn’t help but feel nervous for the twins. They tried to play it off, but you knew that they were nervous, too. After what seemed like hours of waiting, the twins finally ran out on stage, waving and hugging fans before going to the main stage to talk to the hosts. Your heart swelled with pride as you watched your boyfriend on the screen in front of you. You couldn’t help but bounce up and down in your seat and giggle in excitement like a little kid. The twins grabbed their microphones, ready to start their segment.
“Alright boys, we’re going to start with a few questions from the fans, ready?” The female host asked. They both nodded their heads in agreement. They started off with a few silly questions, and the twins answered them perfectly. You couldn’t believe how natural they seemed out there. It was like they were born for this.
“Alright, here’s our final question for today. Ooo, a juicy one. Are either of you in a relationship?” Your breath hitched in your throat. Your heart dropped to your stomach. Was he finally going to tell everyone about you? It had come up in conversation a few times lately, and it usually ended with Grayson telling you he would do it “when the time was right.” Now seemed like as good of a time as any, right? Your mind was racing, but you couldn’t help but get your hopes up. Envisioning yourself walking out of the studio, Grayson’s hand in yours, in front of all of his fans, it was too much for your heart to take. Ethan began answering first.
“Nah, I’m single for right now.” he said, smiling and shaking his head. The cameras shifted to Grayson. Your heart felt like it was going to pound out of your chest.
“Yeah, we’re both single.” Grayson said simply. You had never felt so disappointed in your life. How stupid of me, you thought to yourself, why would he ever announce that he was dating someone like me on national television. You couldn’t hold back the tears that filled your eyes. You tried to compose yourself before they came back into the dressing room.
A few minutes later, both of them came bursting through the door. You could practically see the adrenaline rushing through their veins.
“That was insane!” Ethan exclaimed.
“Dude, I swear that’ll never get old.” Grayson replied.
You painted on your best fake smile, and approached them as they walked through the door. You wrapped both of them in a group hug, and tried your best to act unaffected.
“That was so awesome, guys! I can’t believe I’m actually here!” You yelled, faking excitement. Looking at Grayson made your heart hurt. As hard as you tried, you couldn’t help but let a few tears escape.
“Woah, why are you crying!” Grayson’s demeanor instantly changed. His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes got softer. He wrapped his arms around you and pressed your head against his chest.
“I’m just so proud of you guys,” you lied.
“Well, don’t cry you dork! We’re going to have so much fun the rest of the day!” he laughed.
You spent the rest of the day in the hotel room. Ethan had been nice enough to get his own room, allowing the two of you to enjoy some alone time. You really tried to enjoy your time together and live in the moment, but you couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened earlier. “Yeah, we’re both single,” ran through your head on repeat. You looked over at your boyfriend laying next to you in bed, the way he did almost every time you were together. Finally, your thoughts got the best of you.
“Yes?” he responded, turning over to face you. You swallowed your pride and mustered up the courage to ask the question that had been haunting you all day.
“Why didn’t you just tell them the truth?”
“What do you mean, baby?”
“Why didn’t you just tell them that we’re together?” Your voice was unsteady as you spoke. You could tell Grayson was uncomfortable, he swallowed uncomfortably and cleared his throat.
“Well, I just didn’t feel like the time was right. I want to tell everybody once we’re comfort-”
“No, stop. I’m tired of that excuse, Grayson. We’ve been together for eight months now, if you’re not comfortable with me by now, then we have a problem.” you snapped, cutting him off. He stayed silent, and looked down at his hands. “Why don’t you just go ahead and tell me the real reason you don’t want to go public. I know that you’re embarrassed of me, I can see it in your face.” Your tone was malicious, and rude. Grayson’s face burned bright red and he clenched his fists in anger.
“God damn it, Y/N. You’ve got to be less insecure, you’re being fucking crazy. That’s not the reason at all, I just-”
You cut him off again. “I’m flying home, see ya.” You grabbed your backpack off of the table, and headed toward the door. You didn’t even bother grabbing your suitcase, focusing too hard on getting the hell out of there. Grayson stood up, and chased you to the door. Just as you went to reach for the doorknob, he grabbed your wrist.
“Y/N, wait. Let’s talk this out.” You could see pain in his eyes. Any other time, you would have given in and stayed there to fix things. But this time, you had had enough.
“Just leave me alone.” You pulled your wrist from his grip. “I need some time.” You walked out of the room, out of the hotel, and into the pouring rain. You hailed a cab, and asked the driver to take you to the airport. As soon as the car door closed behind you, you collapsed in tears. What have I done? You cried quietly to yourself the whole way home.
