"I—I do?" Tilting my head up to face him, I blinked twice. "I—really? I leave you… breathless?"

I pressed one hand against my heart as if to calm the frenzied beats, finally regaining control of my breathing.

Gray's POV:

I quirked an eyebrow.

"Why is it such a surprise?" I questioned. "When I kiss you, Vy, I feel like the world disappears from underneath me. Do you truly have no idea what you do to me? How dangerous your lips are?"

"I…….. that's how I feel about you." My lips, though aching and swollen, finally remembered how to move and form words properly. "I didn't think…. I didn't think I did that much…"

Gray's POV:

I breathed her in deeply, completely intoxicated by her scent.

"You always keep me on the tip of my toes…" my head made its way back to her neck, resting there gently. "Can I… can I kiss your neck, Vy?"

If he was a drug, then I was an addict, absolutely consumed by all of his being. What made it better was that he was asking for my permission, verbally. My heart warmed and seemed to swell in my chest.

"I……… Just a little. Lightly."

Gray's POV:

I placed a gentle kiss on her soft skin, feeling my lips burn at the touch. I trailed gentle kisses up her neck, her jaw before I finally reached her cheeks. I gently took her face in my hands and pressed a kiss to her lips, taking care of her as if she would shatter at a simple wrong touch.

"Is it okay if I stay here tonight?" I asked her, not ready to leave. "Ari's at a sleepover, and I want to stay with you."

I took a shuddering breath in, a faint smile tracing my lips as I reached up to touch the trail of kisses he had left behind.

"I—Sure. Yeah. That would, um, be really nice. Do you want to take Lillian's bed or………?"

Gray’s POV:

I smiled when I noticed her touching the places I kissed.

“It’s your choice,” I replied quietly, even though I wanted to sleep with her in my arms. “I’ll only be sleeping here. Nothing more.”

The reassurance, although evident to me, was soothing, calming.

"Alright…… maybe we can cuddle..?"

Gray’s POV:

I kissed her lightly again, relieved that she was calm.

“That works well enough for me,” I whispered, pulling her closer.

I slipped my arms around his waist, sighing in contentment.

"I love you……."

(I just realized that we passed pg 100!)

(Omg Yes!!! 🎉🎉🎉)

I hugged her back, resting my chin on the top of her head.

“I love you, too, sweetheart,” I murmured, running my fingers through her hair. “More and more every day.”

(🎉🎉🎉)

I allowed myself to be engulfed in his arms, letting out a second sigh.

“Gray?” I asked, biting my lip.

Gray’s POV:

“Yeah?” I gently rubbed her back.

“Since you’re staying over… could I maybe play you some music? Would that be weird? It’s just that music is a huge thing first me and you’re my boyfriend, so I thought—“ I quickly cut myself off, realizing that I had started to ramble.

Gray’s POV:

I quickly kissed her, chuckling after I pulled away.

“Would you, please?” I asked her, making sure to twist my face adorably, just to tease her. “I want to listen.”

Heat rushed to my cheeks—it couldn’t be legal for him to be this adorable.

“If you’re sure, then yeah. I’ve got… four hundred songs downloaded on my phone?”

Gray’s POV:

I quirked an eyebrow.

“That’s a lot of music,” I said, shaking my head. “I have like half on my phone.”

“Mm, it takes up most of my storage,” I chuckled, rubbing at my flushed cheeks.

Gray’s POV:

I grabbed her hands, pressing kisses to her hot cheeks.

“You’re too cute,” I murmured. “C’mon, I’m getting a bit impatient. I want to cuddle and listen to the type of music you like already.”

I turned my head slightly to bury my face in one of his hands before I pulled away to locate my headphones.

“Come, sit on the bed. Can I… sit in your lap?”

Gray’s POV:

I grinned.

“Of course you can,” I replied. “I can hug you better that way.”

I tugged him over to my bed and plopped down onto his lap. Handing him an earbud, I chewed on my lower lip, scrolling through various playlists.

“What kind of music do you listen to?”

Gray’s POV:

I wrapped one arm around her waist while the other took the earbud she offered.

“Anything,” I shrugged, kissing her head. “I don’t have a preference.”

Making myself comfortable, I finally selected a song named ‘Unchangeable Love’, by Through Juniper Vale (great song, btw).

(Oh, I haven’t heard of it…)

Gray’s POV:

“That’s a nice song. My first time hearing it,” I commented. “Can you tell me more about yourself? Anything that isn’t hard to talk about?”

(I love the band, they’re not very well known tho)

I bit the inside of my cheek as I thought about his question. “Well… I can play guitar.”

Gray’s POV:

I whistled.

“Wow, my girlfriend is so talented,” I sighed dreamily. “She can art, play the guitar, super smart, can completely wrap people in her fingers… is there anything you can’t do?”

I took hold of his hand and brought it up to my mouth for a small, flustered kiss. “Apparently, I can’t keep cool around my super-hot boyfriend.”

Gray’s POV:

I linked our fingers together, squeezing her hand lightly, grinning. I didn’t expect to hear that, but I wasn’t disappointed.

“Well, I am hot,” I joked. “How can you keep your cool? Is that even possible?”
