A/N: Guys I’ve gotten pretty soft on Ethan lately, what is that about?! I started this story with totally different intentions, but that seems to be changing

Sorry this took so long! I was so hesitant to post it!

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

____________

The sun started to set over the horizon as I dug my toes deeper into the sand, pulling them up every so often to watch the sand run off and in between them. Lisa and Cam were walking along the beach taking in the last bit of daylight and Alyana had dragged Grayson away the minute we got here to take pictures of herself for Instagram.

I looked up from my feet and noticed Ethan sitting slightly in front of me, leaning forward with his elbows resting on his knees letting the sun silhouette his face perfectly. I leaned back on my hands and just admired him for a minute while he stared out at the ocean, seemingly lost in thought. I realized how selfish I was to have spent the last 24 hours agonizing over the loss of someone I never had, all the while this wonderful man was right in front of me the whole time and never wavered. He had always been there for me, since day one. My biggest cheerleader and closest friend. Sure, Grayson was there too, but things seemed like they weren’t going to always be that way with him. I started to realize that I may one day lose Ethan too. Eventually, he will get a girlfriend and I really will be just their assistant.

I reached forward and grabbed his wrist. He broke his stare and glanced back in my direction, his face lighting up when he saw me batting my eyelashes at him. Something I always did before asking him to snuggle.

“Come sit back here, I’m cold” I lied and patted the sand beside me. He knew I wasn’t cold, I had my knees tucked into the hoodie he let me borrow, with the hood pulled up over my head

He laughed and scooted back so he was sitting next to me. He wrapped his arm around me as I leaned against his shoulder, wrapping my arms around his side. We sat there in silence for a few minutes, he had returned his stare to the ocean while I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent, and the feeling of his chest rising and falling with his steady breaths.

“I don’t ever want to forget this moment E, I don’t want to wake up one day and not have you in my life,” I broke the silence as I spoke barely audibly

He pulled away slightly and lifted my chin up to look at him, concern written on his face “Why would you say that? Y/N/N I’m not going anywhere” His eyes moving back and forth between mine as he ran his thumb just under my lip

“I don’t know, I can just feel things changing. Things are going to start to change in relationships and I’m not sure where I’ll fit into all of that. Grayson made it pretty clear today that I’m his assistant, not even his friend” I replied, trying my best not to sound weak.

“Well, you are our assistant…” as he started, I moved my eyes away from his as I tried to pull my face away from his grip, I didn’t want to look at him while he agreed with Grayson.

“…but you’re so much more than that. I know you don’t ever give yourself a second thought, but you are so much more than words can express. You’re my best friend. You’re amazing. Anyone who can’t see that is stupid” he continued.

As I looked back at him, our eyes met, he leaned in and touched his forehead to mine. I had a sudden urge to kiss him but I held off. If my relationship with Grayson was strained, I wasn’t about to fuck up the only strong one I have left.

Closing his eyes he sighed as he continued “He may be my brother, but he is a complete moron for not wanting to be in my place right now,” he softly placed a peck on my forehead. I melted at the feeling as his lips lingered on my skin. I wasn’t sure why I couldn’t bring myself to just cross that line with him. Being with Ethan would be so easy. Sure, we bicker sometimes, but one of us is always crawling back to the other one with puppy eyes shortly after. I guess I was always scared to ruin something so great. I’d rather keep things the way they were now than not have him at all if it went wrong.

He took my hand and interlaced his fingers with mine, I leaned against his shoulder again as we watched the sun making its last kiss of light over the ocean.

____________

Cam POV

Mom and I had gone for a walk once we got to the beach. Sure we had beaches in New Jersey, but there was something different about California. We never passed up a chance to head to Malibu when the boys asked us to go.

The sun was just starting to set and we decided to head back towards the group before it got dark.

“Cameron is that Gray and… oh crap, what’s her name again?” Mom asked as she turned to me with a grimaced face

“Clout Chaser Barbie? Yea I think that’s them, I’d say let’s go catch up to them, but I’d really rather not” I replied looking up to where my mom was motioning.

“Yeah, well she isn’t what I would have picked for my son, but we have to play nice for Gray, he deserves our support so he knows we’ll pick him up when this falls apart”

I couldn’t help but laugh. My mom made even the nastiest comments sound sweet. We continued our walk back when I caught a glimpse of something that stopped me in my tracks, Ethan and Y/N snuggled into each other staring out at the ocean. I nudged my mom to stop and look in their direction.

“Look at that, how perfect are they?” Mom said sighing while a smile crept across her face

“Pretty perfect, but they’ll never let it go there. E wants her to be happy, even if it’s not with him.” I shrugged. Everyone knew they were perfect for each other, even if they didn’t realize it yet.

“I think he could make her happy, I think he already does. They’re just both scared of what that could change” She assured herself, leading the way back up the beach.

____________

Grayson POV

Alyana had dragged me over to the pier when we got to the beach, it was golden hour and she wanted me to take some new pictures of her for her Instagram. I have to admit, this wasn’t what I had planned when decided to come here. I wanted to spend time with my mom and sister since I only got to see them once in a while. But, here I am, watching her take her 1,000th selfie, I guess this is my life now.

Y/N had stayed up on the sand with Ethan. I have no idea what has gotten into them both, but since when does Ethan stay at Y/N’s house when she isn’t feeling well? Sure, we have brought her over soup and smoothies when she has been sick before, but never once have we ever stayed the night.

I looked around surveying the beach from the pier, trying to figure out where everyone went. I spotted Mom and Cam walking back along the water line. I scanned up the sand and found Y/N and Ethan, faces pressed together. Did they just kiss?! What the actual fuck is happening right now... A sudden sick feeling fell over me

“Hey babe, you okay?” Alyana asked barely breaking eye contact with her screen

“Oh, uh, y-yeah I think so, why?” I managed to stammer out as I rubbed my hand over the back of my neck trying to shake off the bizarre feeling.

“All of a sudden you got really pale” she replied, holding up her phone to take her next photo

“I think I’m just hungry. Maybe we should go see if everyone is ready for dinner?” I lied.

I mean it wasn’t a total lie, I’m always hungry. But to be honest, I wasn’t sure what I felt. I just witnessed my brother kiss my best friend who is also our assistant, and I hated it. Ethan and Y/N have always been super close, we all have. But he should know better than to cross that line with her. This is going to fuck everything up for us. When they break up she will leave us. Not only will we be out an assistant, but we’ll lose our best friend.

Here I was with my beautiful girlfriend, who is a model, so surely that was why I felt sick about all of this right? How irresponsible of them. A new feeling of anger replaced the sickness I had just felt as Alyana and I made our way back from the pier.

____________

Y/N POV

The sun had all but completely disappeared over the ocean when everyone had met back up to where Ethan and I were sitting.

Ethan stood up, brushed himself off, and then held out his hand to help me up. Just as I reached up to grab his hand, Grayson walked in between us, and I fell back onto the sand landing on my butt.

“Oh, sorry,” Grayson glanced over his shoulder, not stopping to help

“Uh, that’s cool Bro, no big deal” Ethan tried to breeze past the moment as he helped me up brushing the sand off of my back.

What the hell was that about? I thought while brushing myself off, unable to ignore the obviousness of the situation. There’s no way he didn’t see Ethan’s hand out

“Where do you guys want to eat?” Lisa asked trying to break the growing tension

“Gray and I know this great place we take Y/N all the time, we could go there?” Ethan suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement, except Grayson, who had grabbed Alyana’s hand and was practically running up the sand towards his car.

The rest of us tried to shrug it off and followed up the sand towards Ethan’s Jeep.

“Hey Gray, we’ll meet you guys there?” Ethan double-checked with Grayson before we got into separate cars.

“Yeah, whatever bro” Grayson grumbled back

I looked over at Ethan to see if he had just heard the same tone I did. He returned my look with slightly furrowed brows and a shrug

Grayson closed the passenger door after letting Alyana in, looked over at the Jeep where Ethan was opening the passenger door for me, groaned and got into his car. l couldn’t help but divert my attention over to the blue Porsche, unsure of what was up with Grayson as I climbed into the passenger seat.

“Okay does anyone know what the hell that was?!” Cam broke the silence as we drove out of the parking lot. Ethan let out a chuckle as his hand found its usual spot on my thigh, I rested my hand over his as we all shrugged and shook off the moment. If there was anything the four of us were used to, it was Grayson’s mood swings. He should be over it by the time we all arrived at the restaurant.

____________

When we got to the restaurant we had somehow arrived before Grayson and Alyana, even though we all left at the same time. We were waiting outside when a heated Grayson was hightailing it to the door with a less than happy Alyana behind him.

“Oh, shit” I whispered to Ethan

I guess he’s not over it

“I don’t think we even want to know” he replied holding the door for me to enter the restaurant, both of us oblivious to what Grayson was actually upset about.

I was so happy Ethan chose a place I was so comfortable at. We came here all the time after a long day of work. It wasn’t the fanciest place in the world, but that’s why we loved it so much.

They sat us in a semi-private room. This was something we were all used to because the twins never got to eat peacefully in public. Sure, they loved their supporters, but they also loved food. Having an uninterrupted dinner was always the preference when we could get it.

I went to sit down when a chair was pulled out for me. I looked to my left to see Ethan winking with a smirk. I sat down as he pushed it in, then took the seat beside me.

Grayson sat down across from us but did not look in our direction. I had no idea what the heck had gotten into him all of a sudden. Earlier this week we were laughing over avocado toast and now today he’s telling Ethan I’m basically just their assistant, and won’t even look at me.

We each ordered our dinner and were having a great time, laughing and catching up, Ethan Cam and I shooting our straw wrappers at each other while Grayson and Alyana pretty much ignored the rest of the table.

“Hey Gray, can you pass the rolls?” I asked.

“Do you really need to eat anymore carbs?” she spoke under her breath

The table fell silent. I mean how could it not? She wasn’t exactly whispering. I looked over at her and then back to Grayson, who sat blank-faced at the comment as if he never heard it. I don’t know what I expected. I guess I thought he wouldn’t let anyone speak to his best friend like that, but then I remembered I didn’t know what we were anymore.

“Hey, new girl. Watch your fucking mouth” A voice spoke up from the opposite end of the table. I broke my stare at Grayson to look to my right finding Cam pushing back from the table removing her napkin from her lap as Lisa grabbed her.

“It’s okay Cam, let it go” I tried to calm her down by flashing her a smile. She knew it was fake, she could always see through my bullshit, but she sat down clenching and relaxing her fists under the table. At least someone was standing up for me

Ethan grabbed the basket of rolls and handed them to me. I took them trying my best to smile in return but placed it down to the other side of me, deciding against them.

I was never one to turn down food. Whenever the boys and I went out I never hesitated to order a burger and fries and chow down. I worked extremely hard on my physique and felt like I should reward myself once in a while. Never once did I feel low about my appearance until now.

I stared down at the remainder of my fries and pushed the plate away from me, reaching for my water to satisfy any remaining hunger I had felt. I was lost in my own thoughts staring into my glass when I felt a hand wrap over my thigh. I looked to my left to find Ethan eating with his left hand but grinning about our little secret. I placed my hand on top of his, squeezing lightly. Sometimes I swear he could read my mind.

The rest of dinner was one big awkward silence. Alyana decided she would keep her mouth shut as to not mess with Cam who kept death staring her while stabbing her knife into her left over cheeseburger. I would catch Lisa smiling at Ethan and I every once in a while. It didn’t catch me totally off guard. I knew that Lisa loved how Ethan and I were together. We had both tried to make it pretty clear to her that we were just friends, but I’m not sure she had let that ship sail yet.

Grayson had spent most of the dinner staring down at his plate or shooting eye daggers at Ethan. I couldn’t figure out what his issue was. I knew he thought it was weird Ethan stayed at my place last night, but usually they never let a disagreement last this long. Is that what he’s still mad about?

I wasn’t even sure Ethan had noticed. When Ethan was eating not much else could hold his attention. The room could be in flames around him and he probably wouldn’t notice. Or maybe, he was so used to Grayson throwing temper tantrums he was just really good at ignoring them.

____________

After dinner, Ethan had invited me back to the house to hang out and relax with his mom and sister. I felt slightly weird about it because of how this evening had already gone, but I tried to never pass up a chance to hang out with Lisa and Cam since we saw them so infrequently. As we pulled up the driveway and parked, Grayson was pulling up. Alone

I flashed him an innocent smile as he got out of the car, to a stone face in return.

I followed everyone else inside, followed by Grayson who stayed silent and disappeared down the hall once we entered the house.

“Should we go sit by the fire? Try this evening again?” Ethan suggested placing his hand on my lower back to lead us outside.

____________

We had all been sitting around the fire for about an hour, our faces hurting from laughter at stories Lisa was telling of the twins as kids. Ethan and I had snuggled up on the bench under a blanket. Grayson had decided to join us shortly after we got the fire going, I figured for his mom and sister’s company. Grayson might have been hot-headed, but he was a family man. His family always came first. He used to include me in that group, but I’m not so sure now. When he didn’t stick up for me at dinner, I was pretty sure that was all that needed to be said there.

He had been checking his phone non-stop since he sat down, obviously waiting for Alyana to text him, which it would seem she hadn’t. In between glances to his phone, he would fix his stare at Ethan and me. I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking about. It almost seemed like he was staring through us. I wanted so badly to call him out on his behavior, but what was I supposed to say?

Grayson had some flings here and there over the last couple of years, but he had never had a girlfriend he considered serious enough to introduce to everyone, so I had no idea if this is just how he was going to be in a relationship. Either way, that had nothing to do with Ethan and me.

____________

Lisa had headed to bed a while ago, the rest of us thinking about doing the same.

“Well, I should probably go. If it gets any later I’ll be too tired to even drive” I said pulling the blanket off of my lap and standing up to head back inside.

“Just stay here” Ethan suggested, eyes fixated on the fire

I had stayed at the twin’s house many times after a late night, usually crashing on the couch or the guest bed, but I knew they would both be taken with their mom and sister staying there as well

“I wouldn’t have anywhere to sleep, and as much as I love Cam, she snores” I laughed looking over at Cam

“Hey! Fuck you Y/N/N!” she laughed throwing her empty cup at me

“You can stay with me.” He mumbled, breaking his glance to look over in my direction

I looked back at Ethan unsure if I had heard his suggestion correctly

“Are you sure? I don’t want to impose” I asked nervously. As close as Ethan and I were, we had never shared a bed.

“Ethan, don’t be fucking stupid, she doesn’t want to sleep with you” Grayson blurted out. A look of disgust on his face.

“Grayson, don’t you need to go call your girlfriend? Your phone has been awfully quiet since we got home” Ethan pushed back

“Y/N you can either sleep on the other couch next to Cam, or you can have my bed and I’ll sleep on the couch. You’re not sleeping with Ethan. How stupid of an idea is that?” Grayson almost demanded throwing his hands around while he spoke.

For some reason I felt like I had to obey. Although we were all used to his moods, I found Grayson extremely intimidating, when he raised his voice, I usually listened.

“I guess I’ll take the couch then Gray... thanks for the offer though” I stammered, surprised he even addressed me directly after avoiding me all day.

He nodded looking smug about his interference.

____________

Grayson and Cam had headed to bed while Ethan and I stayed by the fire a while longer. As much as I loved everyone else, I loved these quiet moments with Ethan even more.

“Let’s play truth or dare” he spoke after a while of just listening to the fire crackle and the crickets chirping around us

“Really E? It’s just the two of us, how fun can that be?” I laughed taking another sip of my drink

“Oh, it can be really fun” he winked

“Ugh, fine you dork, you go first” I gave in, placing my drink down and waving him off

“Okay Y/N/N, truth or dare” he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows

“Truth”

“Of course you’d pick truth, because you’re afraid of what my dare would be” he threw his head back and chuckled

“Oh just shut up and ask your question” I replied, though he was right. If you ever play a game of truth or dare with the Dolans, always choose truth. Those two can come up with some crazy dares.

“Okay...” He sat forward leaning on his knees “ You didn’t eat the rolls tonight at dinner because Alyana made you feel bad about yourself” he said, more matter of factually than questioning, already sure of my answer

I have to admit I was caught slightly off guard about his question. I was hoping no one had noticed that I didn’t actually take any when Ethan handed me the basket

“Ummm” I tried to come up with a lie, avoiding his strong eye contact

“Y/N... don’t lie to me” he said sharply. By his tone I could tell he was irritated, maybe not at me directly, but at the memory of dinner.

“Okay, yes I let her get to me. How was I not supposed to when Grayson just sat there with no expression, letting her talk to me like that? I kind of figured if he didn’t say anything he must agree. How is that not supposed to make me feel like shit?” I confessed, leaning my head down avoiding his judgement.

Ethan stood up from where he was sitting across from me and came over to stand in front of me. He knelt down and took my hands in his, pulling my gaze up to meet his eyes

“You are absolutely beautiful. Don’t let some clout chaser make you feel anything other than that. I love watching you eat... not in a creepy way, but you’re confident. We all know you work really hard to stay in shape. I love that you treat yourself. I don’t ever want to go out with you and have you afraid to eat. Okay?” He said calmly trying to reassure me, brushing away a stray hair that had fallen into my eyes

“...okay E” I whispered

“Promise me Y/N/N” he insisted as he furrowed his eyebrows in concern

“Okay E I promise... now please stand up. It’s my turn” I tried to change the subject. It wasn’t that I didn’t appreciate his sincerity, but I was embarrassed at how I let that stupid girl make me feel at dinner and I’d rather forget it.

He chuckled standing up to move back to his seat. “Okay, hit me”

“Alright. Ethan, truth or dare” I knew he would pick dare. Dolan’s never turned down a dare. And to be honest, I didn’t have a truth question for him.

“Obviously dare” he replied

*phew*

“Okay, E....” I looked around the yard trying to figure out what to dare him. “I dare you to jump in the pool. With all your clothes on” I raised an eyebrow looking back at him.

He shrugged and stood up heading towards the pool. I quickly followed behind.

“It would have been better if you said naked” he laughed

I rolled my eyes, I was practically asking for that response

“But I have a request first” he added turning back around

“I’m not sure that’s how this works but what is it?” I asked

“I need a hug. I miss you” he stuck his bottom lip out trying to make me feel bad

I walked towards his open arms “You’re such a dork, how could you miss....AHHHHH” my sentence was cut off as he grabbed me and flung us both into the pool

I gasped for air when I reached the surface of the water, looking around the dark pool for Ethan but didn’t find him

“ETHAN! WHY DID YOU DO THAT! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” I yelled seemingly into the abyss as I was quickly dunked back under the water

I swam back up grabbing him in the process, I wasn’t going to let him get away with it this time

“Why did you do that!” I yelled at him laughing, slapping his wet shoulder with my heavily soaked hoodie sleeve

“It was fun!” he laughed splashing me trying to avoid another shot

“Well I don’t have a change of clothes now you ass” I scoffed looking down at my wet clothes

“Oh, because you weren’t going to raid my closet anyway?” He asked smirking, hopping out by the ledge of the pool and reaching back down to help me

“I guess you’re right, but you’re still an ass” I shrugged and reached up to let him help me out.

____________

He interlaced his wet hand with mine as we slunk as quietly as we could past Cameron through the house. We both knew if Grayson saw us dripping water all over the floor he would kill us, I prayed he would stay in his room. Odds were good he was on the phone talking sweet nothings to his stick figure girlfriend.

I giggled as Ethan flung me past him through the door way as he closed the door behind me. He took off his sopping wet shirt and then turned around to find me in a staring match with his wet half naked body

“Hey Y/N/N? You okay?” he laughed, bowing his head to try to catch my eyes

I felt my face heat up

“Uh, yeah yeah I’m good.” I tried to look away and get distracted by literally anything else.

Ethan smirked at my embarrassment “Well, I’ll probably hop in the shower, if you want you can shower after me, just pick out whatever you want from the closet while you wait” he kissed my cheek as he walked into the bathroom turning over his shoulder to add “I’m glad I can get you to blush too”

My eyes followed him into the bathroom, since when do I blush at Ethan’s body? Since when do I watch him walk away like I’ve never seen him before?

I sat down on the bed listening to him turn the shower on. Lost in my new found thoughts I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with them

Before I could even think about it I found my feet carrying me to the bathroom door. I jiggled the handle to see if it was unlocked and was happily surprised to find it was. Was he hoping I would come in?

I opened the door and found Ethan in the shower letting the water run over him. The glass shower walls left little to the imagination. He hadn’t noticed me standing there yet, so I took the moment to really admire the man in front of me as he stood under the water running his hand through his hair. He was literal perfection.

I walked over to the shower and opened the door, still clothed I moved forward and wrapped my arms under his arms and placed my hands on his chest. He brought his hands up to mine

“I was hoping you’d come” He confessed

“You wanted me to?” I asked, pecking his shoulder blade while I rested my forehead on his back

“Yes” He replied, turning to face me. His eyes stared through mine as water poured over the both of us. He lifted his hand to the side of my face and ran his thumb over my cheek. His eyes raced between mine and my lips. I opened my mouth slightly, sure of what I wanted him to do next, but unsure if he would.

He leaned in and I felt his soft lips touch mine tenderly. I kissed him back as I brought my hand up to the back of his neck pulling him down into me more. Deepening the kiss his tongue begged at my lips for entry, to which I granted, a small moan leaving my throat. He pushed me up against the wall of the shower as he reached for the hem of my sweatshirt and pulled it up over my head throwing it down in a wet heap on the shower floor.

A moan escaped my lips as he moved his mouth from mine down my neck to my breasts, heaving under his touch. I watched the water bead off of his back as he worked his way down my body leaving soft kisses in his wake. When he reached the hem of my jeans he fumbled with the button, looking up at me for approval. I nodded, leaning my head against the wall as he kissed my hip bones.

He unbuttoned my jeans and slid his hands down both sides of my hips shimmying my jeans down to the floor, leaving me in a black lacy bra and underwear.

He stood back up, returning his soft lips to mine “You are so beautiful. You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this” he said

“Show me” I practically begged between kisses.

I reached around and unclasped my bra and let it fall off my arms to the floor. His hands moving to cup my breasts then moving up to pin my arms above my head as he again laid a trail of kisses down from my neck, stopping to nibble and suck gently on each nipple.

I couldn’t help but pull my now unrestrained hand down to grab into his hair. Pulling his head back slightly to make his eyes meet mine while his bottom lip still pulled against the skin of my stomach, had me aching between my legs for his touch.

He hooked his thumbs through the sides of my panties, grabbing the front between his teeth. As he took his time moving them down he kissed every new inch of exposed skin, lingering when he reached my wet core.

When my panties finally fell to the floor he stood back up forcefully lifting me by the back of my thighs to wrap my legs around his waist.

“Are you sure you want to do this” he asked, burying his head into the crook of my neck, sounding needy and desperate

“Yes, please E. I want all of you” I reassured him, digging my nails slightly into the back of his neck while the other hand clung to his back.

He aligned our bodies and entered me slowly, letting me adjust to his size. I leaned my head back against the wall, eyes rolling into the back of my head, letting a soft moan leave my throat

“Are you okay?” he asked softly

“Yes, God yes. I want you so bad E” I whined trying to push myself onto him to feel him completely.

When he pushed himself all the way in another moan left my throat, this time joined with his own gutteral grunt.

I leaned my head forward, meeting his forehead with mine as he quickened his pace moving roughly in and out, stretching me to my limit and then pulling almost all the way out before ramming in again.

I gripped his shoulders tightly as my moans and screams of his name became uncontrollable. The grunts and moans that came from him only turned me on more. He had always been so gentle with me, this side of him was so sexy.

“Ethan, I’m gonna... I’m almost there” I managed to squeak out as I neared my peak, my toes curling behind his back

“Yes baby, do it, cum for me... God you are so beautiful” He spoke between thrusts

As I I hit my peak and rolled my head back against the wall, I dug my nails into Ethan’s shoulders and tightened my core around his cock. While I rode my high he started to quicken his pace even more. I could tell he was almost there because his thrusts became sloppy and his moans became breathy and desperate.

“I’m on birth control E, I want you to fill me” I whispered in his ear between his moans. He shook his head and squeezed his eyes as he thrusted again, drawing a moan from both of us.

His body caved as he gently put my feet back on the ground and wrapped his arms around my waist, leaning his head to rest on my shoulder as he stood in front of me.

“Be with me” he finally spoke

“I am E, I’m right here” I tried reassuring him as I smoothed his wet hair back

“No, Y/N, be with me... be my girl” he lifted his head to meet my eyes, placing a soft kiss on my lips

I took a moment to just watch how the water beaded off of his eyebrow, leading its way down his face to his chest. I brought my hand up to trace the droplet with my finger. When I brought my eyes back to his I nodded.

“Is that a yes?” he asked smiling

“Yes, Ethan. I know you thought it was Grayson. But I realized today at the beach that it’s you. It’s always been you E”

He lifted me up and spun me around making me giggle before he put me down

“You don’t know how badly I wanted to hear you say that. I promise I will make you happy every day. I want to be the man you deserve” he said placing his forehead to mine, lacing his fingers into my hair at the base of my neck

“You already are Ethan”

Thank you for saying something. I am a few years older than the twins and didn't even watch them until like 18 months ago. I've seen the ageism thing and I'm like wtf? I have always dated people 3-4 years older than me. Now I'm not saying these 15 yr old girls wanting to date them would be right, but dang a 24 or whatever year old who thinks they're cute? So what?! Not to mention these guys have always looked older than they are. I'm guessing these girls HAVE to be young and just don't get it. Shows their immaturity

I’ve been in the fandom for a a while (about 4 years) and I think there are several undiscussed issues about poc.

Oh yes very.

There are some really racist and ageist girls in the fandom and the most them have tones of followers because they post funny content.

I have a few girls ‘apologize’ for their actions and stil have followers really my me sick. And that’s only for racism

Ageism is never seen a problem but it is. Ever since 2018 after the twins turn 18 they had a sky rocket in fans because they are of age and women can follow them with criticism. So a lot of younger fans noticed more DT accounts and found out that most of them were in college students and young mothers. And now there is this big attack against people that are older then the twins.

I came on Twitter one time and saw a girl made fun one of my mutuals because she was 43. It really just lose all respect for people in my generation. It really shouldn’t matter what age you are as long as you love and support the same thing/person age should not be a factor.

It doesn’t matter because most the older person doesn’t even care because they better stuff to do then argue with a stranger online.

By the way, I have seen a light skin girl gets bashed for her skin is ‘too dark’ for the twins to like her and a woman who is 22 with a kid was told that she should leave the fandom to cause the Twins are too young to care of her baby and date an old b***h like her’. (they called the child a horrible name but I didn't wanna say it, also this was in 2019 so very recent.

Soundtrack to my life: Chapter 1- Those Summer Nights

Word Count: 1.5k

Warnings: Swearing

A/N: Welcome to my new series! Every chapter will be named after a song. Why? Because I felt like it. Enjoy! Also Kate is inspired by Kate from 50 shades of Grey. Think of Y/N as Ana's style in the beginning of that movie (NO this is not a 50 shades knock off 😆)

______________________________

“Come on Y/N! Last one in the water has to buy the other one a drink!” he yelled running towards the ocean laughing as I chased him stripping my shirt off as I ran.

He splashed into the water turning to flop backwards into the waves. I ran in and jumped on top of him, his arms wrapping around me as we fell into the waves again.

“I can’t believe this summer is almost over” I pouted as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

“I know, but things don’t have to change” he pulled me into his chest wrapping me in a wet embrace, lips inching for mine

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* I was shaken from my dream by the brutal screaming of my alarm clock, reminding me I had to get up for class.

It was the first day of my fourth year of law school at USC. I guess my intentions were to become a lawyer, or maybe those were my parents intentions... but either way here I was about to start another year towards a degree I wasn’t sure I was crazy about anymore.

My door swung open as a half dressed bed headed blonde stumbled into the door way “Can you shut that fucking thing off?! Some of us don’t have class until 12 today.”

That’s my roommate Kate. We’ve been roommates and best friends since our freshman year. She’s a total party girl, a social butterfly if you will, and the yin to my yang. She’s everything I’m not, and in some ways who I wish I could be. She’s a journalism major with hopes to break into the PR scene. What better place to be than L.A with a dream like that.

“Sorry K, I’m getting up don’t worry.” I groaned as I rolled over and punched the off button on my alarm clock.

“I know, I know. Now get your pretty ass in the shower. When you get back from class you can fill me in on that dream man you hooked up with over the summer.” She blew air kisses in my direction as she was closing the door behind her.

“Oh, and we are going to a party tonight.” She yelled down the hall as she headed back to her bedroom

Of course we are, I thought. Kate was always “in the know”, she always knew where the parties would be at, who was going to be there that meant anything to anyone, and what socialite she would schmooze while we were there.

I, on the other hand, was the study all night, roll out of bed for class, end my day with a bubble bath kind of girl. Although I didn’t always get away with that. Kate dragged me to way too many parties and events mostly because she didn’t want to show up alone, and then she would disappear with some C list celebrity or YouTube star that I didn’t know, leaving me to catch an Uber home alone.

I quickly showered and got dressed and headed out the door towards my first class.

______________________________

Later that evening Kate and I were sitting on her bedroom floor. She was painting my face with all kinds of makeup she considered necessary for me to go to this party with her.

“K, is all this necessary? No one ever notices me at these things anyways” I hunched my shoulders, less than enthused about the amount of foundation she was layering on my face.

“Yes it is Y/N, you’re gorgeous and it’s about time you gave yourself credit. None of this is a bad thing. Makeup is to accentuate what you already have girl. Now freaking tell me about this guy”

This guy... this “guy” she was referring to was the guy I had a fling with over our summer break. I had spent my summers at the Jersey Shore since I was a kid. My grandparents owned a house there, and as I got older I spent more and more time there. It was always calming for me. A place I could escape from all of the noise. But this past summer was different, this past summer was when I met him

“Ugh Kate what do you want to know?” I grumbled

“I want to know what is so special about this guy that he was able to soften you. You’re not an easy person to get close to, in case you haven’t noticed” she teased “is he big?!” she winked

“Oh my God Kate!” I blushed “Now that’s not a secret I’m willing to share, but I guess I’ll tell you a little bit about him”

“Hold that thought, let’s go take a shot. We need to pre-game for this party.” She laughed leading us to the kitchen towards the liquor cabinet

“Cheers!” we clinked shot glasses and drank. One after another. Three shots in I finally spoke again

“So, he’s tall. Much taller than me. Brown hair, hazel eyes. Shredded. So, easy on the eyes obviously. His smile is what melted me. He’s unbelievably sweet, intelligent, handy. Whenever I was with him I wondered if he was an old soul. He just gave off that vibe.” I didn’t realize how much I had gone on about him until Kate interrupted

“Well damn, does this guy have a brother?”

“He does actually, a twin.” I winked at her downing my last shot.

“Well holy shit, hook a girl up. What does he do for work?” She asked downing her last shot and slamming her glass down

“You know what? I don’t actually know. I think he said something with social media, but I didn’t really pry. We were just trying to enjoy our summer, no one wants to talk about work at the beach.” I shrugged as I headed towards my closet, Kate in tow.

“Huh, okay well... are you guys still talking?” She asked as she raided my closet trying to find something for me to wear. Kate never let me dress myself when we went to parties. I would be happy in skinny jeans, a plain t shirt and chucks, but Kate always had other plans.

“No not really. He texts me from time to time, just to say hi and check in, but we kind of ended things at the end of the summer. I'm not sure I’ll even ever see him again” I replied as I stripped off my shirt and shorts to slip into the dress Kate had pulled from the back of my closet

“Kate this dress is not me” I said smoothing it down as I looked at myself in the mirror

“It is tonight babe, and fuck you look hot” She was standing behind me fluffing my long hair down my back. “So what is mystery man’s name?”

“Grayson” I replied simply, pulling my heels out from the closet

“Gr...Grayson?” Kate repeated his name back to me as his details ran back through her memory

“Yeah, why?” I looked back over my shoulder to see her smirking with raised eyebrows

“No reason, not a single one, hurry up and finish up, we have a party to go to." She said as she hurried out of the room to grab her own shoes.

__________

An hour or so later we pulled up in our Uber to a mid century modern home, cars lined the driveway and you could hear the music from where we were dropped off, lights flickering inside.

Kate grabbed my hand leading us towards the door, "Y/N you know how much I love you right?" She asked

"Uh... yes, why?" I replied confused

"Just try to enjoy your night and thank me later" she smiled pushing the front door open

We made our way through the crowd towards the drink table where Kate grabbed us each a mango white claw. She handed me one and we both cracked them open.

"Cheers" I said as we clinked cans

"Cheers babe" she had a shit eating grin on her face and she moved the can to her lips.

A few minutes later Kate had found her first target and had left me standing at the drink station by myself. I looked around and noticed there was a back patio with a pool and some loungers. It looked pretty quiet out there so I decided to make my way outside.

As I was making my way through the swarms of people and half naked girls (although tonight I was unfortunately one of them), I accidentally bumped into a blonde girl.

"Ugh oh my God watch where you're going" she turned around and nearly shouted in my face

"Well fuck, it was an accident I'm sorry" I replied trying my best not to tell her to fuck off

She went to reply when a deep voice came up from somewhere behind her

"There you are babe, I’ve been looking all over for you" The voice said, wrapping his arms around the blondes waist

"Grayson?" The name sort of fell out of my mouth. It felt so natural to say but this situation was so foreign. What was he doing in L.A? Who was this blonde?

"Holy shit" was all he could muster

This may be an unpopular opinion, but hearing Gray talk about wanting kids young in life worries me he’ll settle down with the wrong person. Why do I feel like he’s so easily manipulated by girls? Am I the only one?

Antphrodite Dolan Twins Reading

Have you guys seen the Antphrodite tarot reading on the Twins from like months ago? I went back and watched it. He calls out so much stuff that’s happening now. Their podcast, their change in content, even the fact that one of them wants to get better at speaking (Grayson from podcast ep) & there’s more. He’s so freaking good... though I still want to know what he “stepped in” at the end... any thoughts?!

Heres the link to the video

Part III | Surprise Visitors

We get some other character’s perspectives in this chapter!

Warnings: Mild swearing

Word Count: 3,442

A/N: I’m in the middle of writing other chapters but I can’t decide, does Y/N end up with Grayson… or Ethan?!

part 1 part 2

Thank God the next day was Saturday, and although that didn’t mean a whole lot since I usually spent the day with the twins anyway, today was different.

I spent the whole night curled up in my bed watching chick flicks and ignoring Ethan’s persistent calls and texts. To be fair, I felt bad and had at least let him know I made it home safely but didn’t respond after that. It’s not like it was Ethan’s fault, he didn’t know about Grayson’s new girlfriend either, but I couldn’t tell Ethan how I felt if I wasn’t even sure how I felt.

Grayson had always been my best friend. When I moved out to LA from Connecticut the twins were the first real friends I had made. I had prior experience as a personal assistant to very wealthy CEO’s at large companies, and a recruiter had seen my resume and asked me if I was interested in a position with two clients who were social media moguls. I had no idea who the twins were when I met them, as I suppose I wasn’t their target demographic. I was 3 years older than them and had no idea what vine even was, never mind that they had blown up on the app. I guess you could say I wasn’t the trendiest teen back then.

The three of us had hit it off right away, probably because I treated them like normal people, I never put them on a pedestal. I wasn’t blind to how girls looked at them, I was even an unwilling target to some online slander from people who wanted to pin me to one of them. But it was never like that. We truly were just best friends, until now.

As I sat in my bed debating if I was ever going to crawl out of this mess of blankets and sheets, I wasn’t sure where I stood with the twins. Of course, I would always be professional when it came to work, but I now felt this awkwardness around Grayson. What was Ethan hinting at when he told Grayson he needed to tell me about his girlfriend? Why would they think I needed to know? Grayson didn’t owe me anything. Was there some kind of secret behind my back about me liking Grayson? Because certainly, I had never implied that, or at least I don’t think I did? Ethan would never go behind my back and make something like that up, so I wasn’t sure where any of this stemmed from.

______________

Noon rolled around and I finally pulled myself together enough to drag my ass out of bed and into the kitchen for some food. Still drowning in Ethan’s sweatshirt and a pair of PJ shorts I had thrown on.

“Well it’s about damn time,” a deep voice said from behind me

I jumped and threw my back against the fridge, I held a knife stabbed halfway through an avocado in my hand, looking towards my couch to see a mop of dark hair facing away from me towards the wall of windows

“ETHAN WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” I screamed

“We have a spare key in case of emergencies Y/N. After you texted me you were home last night you never answered any of my other attempts to talk. I was genuinely worried about you. I came over around 3 am and saw you sleeping in bed surrounded by tissues. I decided I would sleep on the couch and be here when you woke up, I didn’t want you to be alone. I texted you that, but apparently, you decided to just let your phone die. Now please, put down the knife, that avocado isn’t very threatening ” Ethan laughed as he made his way towards me.

My heart melted. Here I was wasting the day away feeling sorry for myself when this man in front of me came over just to see if I was okay and then slept here in case I needed anything. What the hell did I do to deserve him?

I didn’t say anything, I tossed the knife on the counter and walked towards Ethan, I tucked my head into his chest and felt him wrap his arms around me. He pecked the top of my head and rubbed his hands slowly up and down my back. We stood silently in the embrace for a while.

“I’m okay E, to be honest, I’m not even sure why I was so upset. I told you before there was nothing going on between Gray and me, and now it’s just proof.” I said softly

“Y/N, you may not have thought there was anything, but there was - there is. I saw it, the guys all saw it. To be honest, you weren’t the only one let down last night. After the guys left they all texted me bummed out about the whole situation. There is absolutely no one who is as perfect for Gray as you. Literally, everyone around you guys can see that”

I felt myself smile into Ethan’s chest at his kind words, it felt nice that everyone thought so highly of me. That they all thought that I was good enough for their best friend and brother. But at the end of the day, it didn’t matter. He had a girlfriend, and she wasn’t me.

I pulled away from him with his hands still resting on my shoulders. I tried to change the subject, as anything would be a better conversation than this.

“So, what should we do today Etee?” I smirked as I teased him. He hated that nickname and I knew it, but it was cute.

Ethan sighed at my use of his name, “Well, Mom and Cam are coming into town today actually, I’m supposed to pick them up in a few hours. Do you want to come?”

I loved the twin’s family. Their sister was my age and so much fun to gang up on the boys with. Their mom Lisa was the best. She was super supportive of everything the boys did and would even check up on me once in a while. My mom had never been exactly present in my life, so in a way, she helped to fill the void.

“Is that even a question?!” I asked, suddenly feeling my mood shift to pure excitement.

“I thought you might like that, we have to pick them up around 2:30, it’s going to take us an hour to get there from here, so you better get your ass in the shower because you fucking stink,” He said, pulling his head to the side implying he was trying to escape me.

“Oh, fuck you, dude. I absolutely do not stink, and even if I did, it’s your sweatshirt, which means you’re the stinky one” I scoffed at him, smirked, then turned to head down the hall towards the shower.

______________

Ethan POV

I watched Y/N walk away and head towards the bathroom, my eyes inspecting every inch of her body. She was perfect. She had absolutely no idea how perfect she actually was. I couldn’t stand the fact that my idiot brother had this perfect of a woman pining for him and decided to ignore her for someone else.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my brother. He’s my best friend. But he can be a real idiot. The thing is, I’m not even sure he knows Y/N is crazy for him. In fact, Y/N doesn’t even know she’s crazy about him, but everyone else knows. They are so perfect for each other it makes me want to vomit out of jealousy. Someday I want to find someone as perfect as she is, though I know it will be a challenge.

I told her my mom and sister were coming into town today, and they are. But, I might have left out the part that I called them late last night and asked them to come. I explained what happened at the fire and when they agreed to come, I booked them on the next available flight out here.

They loved Y/N as much as Grayson and I did. My mom thought of her as her own, considering Y/N’s mom wasn’t the best. She left when Y/N was little and calls her once in a while when she runs low on money. Grayson and I have been throwing extra cash into her paychecks to cover it. We told her it was a pay raise, which part of it was, but we doubled it and if Y/N knew she would kill us. She never asks for anything, never expects anything, and never tries to inconvenience anyone. Her dad has always tried his best, but he works a lot and isn’t sure how to relate to her as a grown woman. Over the last two years, she has become more of a Dolan than a Y/L/N, my whole family accepts her with open arms, and secretly hopes one day she will actually be a Dolan. Of course, none of that will happen if Grayson stays with whatever her name is.

______________

Y/N POV

I showered, got dressed, fixed my hair and makeup and headed back out to the living room where Ethan was half asleep scrolling through twitter. He clicked his phone screen off when he noticed I had entered the room

“Damn” Ethan whispered to himself

I could feel my cheeks blush slightly

“Uh, you ready, E?”

“I’ve been ready, the question is, are you?” he replied, trying to cover for his trip up

“I’m ready! Let’s go get these beautiful ladies so I can ditch you and hang out with some real winners” I laughed as I pulled him up off the couch.

We hopped up into Ethan’s jeep and headed towards the airport. I absolutely loved this car. He had modified it so perfectly that everything about it screamed Ethan. He turned up the radio and started bobbing his head while I pulled my sunglasses over my eyes and leaned my head back into the headrest, letting my hair blow in the wind. He looked over at me, smiled and placed his hand on my knee. This wasn’t odd for us, it was his way of letting me know he was there, but that he didn’t want to turn down his music to talk. All of which, I was okay with. I didn’t want to talk.

______________

“Y/N/N!” Cameron screamed as she ran up and threw her arms around me in the biggest hug. I laughed and looked over her shoulder to see Lisa coming along smiling at the two of us

“Hey gorgeous, what the heck! I didn’t know you ladies were coming into town! I usually have you guys on the twin’s schedules for weeks before you visit” I said looking between Cameron and Lisa with an excited confusion.

Both women looked over at Ethan, unsure of what he actually told Y/N, clearly not the truth, and went along with the story line.

“Oh well, we wanted to surprise the boys and didn’t say anything until last night to them about coming to visit… SURPRISE!” Lisa fibbed as she embraced Y/N in a hug while shooting Ethan wide eyes hoping she said the right thing. He nodded in acceptance of her answer.

We all got back into Ethan’s jeep, his mom and sister in the back as they had insisted I sit in front. I always felt wrong about making a parent sit in the back, but Lisa had insisted.

I suddenly felt a wave of dread wash over me. They would definitely want to go back to the boy’s house to drop off their things and say hi to Grayson. I, on the other hand, did not want to say hi to Grayson until at least Monday.

______________

Lisa POV

I had insisted Y/N sit up front with Ethan. She was so sweet how she always offered me the front, but I knew she needed to be next to my son more than I did right now. As we drove back to the boy’s house I watched how Ethan would smile and look at her and how she mirrored the gesture. To be honest, I would be over the moon if she dated Ethan, the chemistry between them was undeniable. I could tell from a mother’s perspective that she truly made Ethan happy, but I didn’t know if either of them actually felt that way towards each other. Ethan had always insisted it wasn’t like that and that he was pulling for Y/N to get with Grayson. I would be a lucky parent to have that girl end up with either of my sons, so if Ethan felt that way and everyone was happy, it would be okay with me.

But that’s not why we’re here.

When Ethan called in the middle of the night I panicked. No parent likes to receive phone calls from their children at odd hours of the night. He sounded very concerned about Y/N and had mentioned that Grayson screwed up. I had kind of put the pieces together and Ethan filled in the details about Gray’s new girlfriend. My heart hurt for the poor girl. As far as I knew no words were ever exchanged from her about Grayson in that way, but we weren’t blind to it. She spent plenty of time with us both here and in New Jersey and I found myself daydreaming about the days of her and Grayson having kids running around my home and sitting together on our front porch hand in hand. She was everything he had ever said he wanted in a woman. Sometimes, we can’t see two inches in front of our face, and surely this was the situation with my son.

______________

Y/N POV

As we rounded the bend towards the gate I was all too familiar with, Ethan gently squeezed my knee. I looked over at him and he nodded in acknowledgment that he knew this would be hard for me but that he knew I could do it. And I would.

We parked in Ethan’s usual spot and everyone hopped out. I helped Lisa grab her bag as we headed towards the front door. Suddenly it opened

“E, where the hell have you been…” Grayson’s voice trailed off as he came storming out of the house and realized Ethan wasn’t alone.

“Mom? Cam? What are you guys doing here? Y/N were they on our calendars?” He looked at me happy but concerned

“Uh… I” I started but Ethan jumped in

“No, I stayed at Y/N’s last night because she wasn’t feeling well, mom texted me while I was there that it was a surprise and we just got back from picking them up” he explained, while looking at his mom and sister for back up. The three nodded in agreement.

“Okay… wait you stayed at Y/N’s?” Grayson asked looking between me and Ethan. He really had no idea what had happened last night, and here was Ethan covering my tracks. But Gray wasn’t stupid, he knew it wasn’t normal for Ethan to stay at my house even if I wasn’t feeling well. But Ethan brushed it off and changed the subject.

“Okay, let’s get inside, I want to drop off their bags so we can show them the new tiny home,” he said. Although there wasn’t much to show them except the empty shell at this point, it got the subject off of me and away from Grayson’s questions.

The four of us walked past Grayson in the driveway as he turned to watch us. I could tell something about this situation didn’t sit right with him, but I didn’t know why. He had a girlfriend. Ethan staying at my house was no concern of his.

We walked through the door and immediately I regretted being there. I could tell she was still there because there was a woman’s bag on the side table. She spent the night

We gathered in the kitchen, deciding what to do for the evening when Grayson came back into the kitchen with her in tow.

“Hey Mom, Cam, I want you to meet someone special. This is my girlfriend Alyana” Grayson said introducing the three of them.

Someone special. The words stung my ears. I hated what this was doing to me. How the heck was I supposed to come to work every day if I couldn’t even get through 5 minutes of being here. Surely now that she’s been introduced to everyone, Grayson plans to have her around a lot more. I was going to have to handle that.

I turned my attention to Ethan who was looking at his phone, ignoring the interaction in the room. He looked up from his phone and pulled my chair closer to his so I could see the video he was watching.

______________

Cameron POV

Surely my brother was joking. He presented this girl to us like she was some shiny surf board he won at the teen choice awards. The fake smile plastered on her face when she said hi was enough to make me puke. I saw right through her, and I knew if I saw through her so did Ethan. Grayson might be his twin but we were more on the same wavelength when it came to stuff like this. We can both spot a faker from miles away, while Grayson has the worst judge of character of anyone I know, clearly. Considering Y/N is sitting in the dining room with Ethan while this dumb ass is flaunting a girl I could replicate off of Instagram in a second.

“Hi, I’m Cameron” I tried my best to smile.

“I know! I’ve heard so much about the famous Cam” she said

“Cameron” I corrected her.

Grayson shot me a look. He knew I was being salty, but she didn’t know me. She didn’t know anything about me. Surely we were not on a nickname basis. My family and friends call me Cam, not some bimbo who’s using my brother for clout.

“Right, Cameron” she giggled her fake giggle.

I smiled roughly and turned to go sit with Ethan and Y/N. Surely whatever they were talking about would be much more fun than what was happening here.

______________

Y/N POV

Cam came and sat down next to me, smiling and placing her head on my shoulder. Did she know something I didn’t? Why did that smile seem sympathetic?

“Hey, do you guys want to go down to the beach for a little while and then grab some food?” Ethan broke the silence.

“Is that even a question? I absolutely want to go anywhere but here” I laughed while nudging him with my shoulder.

“I’m in, let me go get Mom,” Cameron said

“Can we please just go the four of us?” I asked Ethan quietly. I really didn’t know if I could handle staring at Grayson and Bimbo Barbie all night. Was I jealous of her? It was surely starting to seem that way.

Ethan nodded in agreement and quickly sent a text. At first, I didn’t know to whom until a pissed off Grayson stormed into the room.

“SO FIRST YOU SPEND THE ENTIRE NIGHT AT OUR ASSISTANTS HOUSE AND NOW YOU’RE EXCLUDING ME FROM PLANS WITH OUR FAMILY?!” Grayson shouted as Ethan stood over me in defense

Our Assistant? So now that’s how he saw me? What the fuck is happening.

“We just figured you guys might want some alone time Gray, no big deal, we’ll bring you guys back food if you want” Ethan covered for me. Again

I looked between Ethan and Grayson for a minute. Them arguing wasn’t really anything out of the norm, but I knew secretly it was because of me. Over my stupid feelings and it made me feel horrible.

“It’s okay E, I don’t have to go, you guys should go out as a family. Your mom and sister just got here, you should catch up” I tried to intervene.

“Well, all I see in this room is family” Lisa chimed in looking at me square in the eye. She was not going to let me bow out that easily. Little did I know she had come here for me, not them.

“Fine Ma, then we’ll all go,” Grayson said in a chilling tone, giving Ethan a smug look.

Great so it’ll just be me, the Dolans and Bimbo Barbie . One big happy family.

Part II: Mystery Solved

Warnings: None

Word Count: 2,306

A/n: I know some timelines for videos etc are skewed but I just wanted to fit it into my narrative :) Also, I’m sorry it hasn’t gotten “exciting” yet, I just want to build the backstory for the characters. This will probably be a long story.

Part 1

The rest of the week went relatively as planned after the awkward moment in the gym. The boys were about to start filming a new video that would become their first series on their channel since their big announcement of not making regular weekly videos anymore. It had honestly felt like a long time coming, with all of the changes in their lives over the last year, something had to give. I was excited for them.

I was heading over to their house to start the day when my phone started ringing. I looked over at my screen to see Ethan’s name displayed.

“Hey E, what’s up?! I’m just on my way over now, sorry I’m a little late, I stopped to grab you guys some coffee and traffic is horrible”

“Oh, yeah no problem, we aren’t even home so no big deal” Ethan replied

“Okay, well where are you goons this early in the morning?” I joked

“We are actually just leaving the Mercedes dealership, so we might be getting back the same time you get there”

“Oh Lord, do I even want to know what you guys were doing at a car dealership?” I asked him sarcastically

“You’ll see Y/N, you’ll see. Just do us a favor and stay out of the driveway, we want to get some drone shots of us coming up the property”

“Alright, I can do that. I’ll just head in when I get there then” I nodded my head in agreement as if they could see me.

“Okay peace out Bro,” Ethan said

“Bye Dude,” I said as I hung up.

We always referred to each other as whatever came to mind at that moment. It had become a game to us honestly. I didn’t really care what they called me, they always meant it in a fun way.

________________

I was waiting just inside the glass front door as I saw Kyle pull up the driveway, park his car off to the side and hop out with the drone in hand ready to go. I knew this was going to be an interesting surprise.

Suddenly a big gray bus thing came rolling up the driveway while Kyle captured it on the drone overhead. These nerds bought a freaking cargo van, what the hell are they going to do with a cargo van?!

They finished filming and I stepped outside to try to figure out what the heck they were going to do with a cargo van.

“Uh, E? What the hell is that?”

“This?! You mean this beauty right here?! Well, Y/N she is about to become our little home on wheels!” Ethan said as he patted his hand on the exterior of the van beaming with excitement.

“Your WHAT?” I asked back unsure if I heard what he said

“Yeah, we’re going to turn it into a tiny home and drive it across the country,” Grayson said stepping out from the cargo area.

I felt my face flush. Again. This hadn’t happened all week since that weird interaction in the gym. This time I know Grayson hadn’t noticed because he had said that while turning to face the van after stepping out. But much to my luck I found Ethan staring right at me with a shit-eating grin plastered across his face. I shook off the embarrassment and continued to look around this new venture they had just driven up the driveway.

“You two can’t even get along in a 2,000 sq ft house, but you think you’re going to survive in a 100 sq ft van for a week?!” I asked sarcastically

“Eh, you’re coming along, so you can keep us straight” Grayson mentioned from the other side of the van

“I’m WHAT?!” I couldn’t help but raise my voice at this sudden news

They both just laughed, they knew I wasn’t going to be thrilled at the idea of spending a week in this tiny van with no bathroom with the twins and Kyle, but they knew damn well I was going to do it anyway. I was always down for their crazy adventures, even if the situation seemed iffy.

________________

A few hours had passed and Ethan and I were sitting out on the back deck in loungers making the most of the late afternoon sun when the back slider door opened and out came Grayson eyes glued to his phone screen.

“Hey, do you guys want to have a fire tonight? We can invite some of the crew over or something, maybe order some vegan pizza” He asked

“Yeah, Bro I like that idea, Y/N are you staying?” Ethan replied looking from Grayson over at me waiting for my response

“Yeah I’m in, but no vegan pizza for me. I want an extra cheese pizza, with bacon” I replied with the biggest grin I could muster, laying back in my chair folding my hands behind my head. I loved busting these two with their vegan diets. Don’t get me wrong, I had nothing against veganism, but I swear they thought if they didn’t mention it every 3 seconds their fans would forget.

Ethan faked a gagging noise while Grayson just chuckled and sat down at the end of the lounger I was sitting on.

“Put your knees up Y/N” he requested.

I did what he asked although I wasn’t sure what he was trying to do.

He leaned back against my knees and aimed his face up towards the sun.

“If you two are going to hog the loungers, I’ll just make my own” he laughed to himself while grabbing my ankles from behind him and tickling his fingers up my calves.

I giggled and squirmed at his gesture, all the while trying to support his weight on my legs. I don’t think this man knows he’s significantly larger than me, nor do I think he cares.

I glanced over to see Ethan, head tilted towards the sky, silently laughing to himself. It always felt like he knew something neither one of us did.

________________ As the night approached, Grayson was out in the backyard starting the fire in the pit while Ethan and I were trying to decide what to order for pizza. The crew had all texted that they were on their way, so time was of the essence.

“Hey Y/N I’m going to go grab a hoodie, do you want one? I know you get cold whenever we do these kinds of things” Ethan asked

“Yes, please! Preferably not the gross one you work out in all the time” I replied sarcastically.

“Hey! I’ll have you know my sweat smells like perfection, I’d bottle that shit up and sell it if I could” He laughed as I grimaced.

“Right, and I suppose you sparkle instead of sweat, Edward Cullen” I laughed.

“Hey if you play your cards right, I can show you how hard my bite is” he threw back at me as he walked down the hall.

What a goof, I laughed to myself. That was one of my favorite things about Ethan. We could banter, play flirt, and it never made anything weird. He just got me. He knew I was a sarcastic asshole and he gave it right back to me. There were things Ethan and I shared that I didn’t share with Grayson. It wasn’t on purpose, I just felt like we were closer than Grayson and I sometimes.

________________

After stuffing our faces with pizza, the twins sharing a vegan pineapple pizza while the crew mostly enjoyed sharing my non-vegan bacon one, we all sat around the fire laughing and just hanging out.

“Oh! I almost forgot! I have a surprise for everyone” I remembered suddenly as I stood up and headed back into the house.

I glanced over my shoulder as I was closing the door to see them all staring at me confused. I loved confusing a group full of boys, they made it so easy.

I gathered what I needed from inside in a little basket and started to open the back door to head out when I caught the end of a conversation they were having amongst themselves.

“Dude you have to tell her, it’s not really fair to do that to her” Ethan was saying, facing Grayson

Grayson had noticed I was heading back out and nodded his head in my direction so Ethan would know to shut up.

I wasn’t sure what they had been talking about, or who she was, but I had put that into the back of my mind for a minute as I headed towards the group

“First I’d like you all to tell me you love me” I started

They all groaned as they sarcastically pledged their love for me

“I bought you jerks stuff to make SMORES!” I exclaimed.

They all cheered as Ethan give me the biggest smirk

“Well that’s so nice Y/N but we can’t have…” he started

“I even bought vegan marshmallows and chocolate for you two dorks” I cut him off pulling the bag of vegan marshmallows out of the basket.

Ethan jumped up, gave me a peck on the cheek and ripped into the bag of marshmallows handing out roasting sticks to everyone.

I sat back in my chair and watched a group of grown-ass men roast marshmallows like children and I smiled. This was the life.

________________

A while later, I was sitting with my knees curled up to my chest with Ethan’s hoodie I was wearing pulled over them, and my hood pulled up over my head. The guys were talking shop when Grayson got up suddenly, phone in hand and headed towards the door. Ethan shot me a look that had what I swear was sympathy wrapped around it. I returned his look with a slightly furrowed brow of confusion until I heard it.

The back door slid open and I heard a high pitched voice, one that certainly wasn’t Grayson or any of the guys in the crew. I turned my glance from Ethan’s face towards the back door and my heart sunk.

Grayson walked out hand in hand with easily the most beautiful blonde I had maybe ever seen. She stood shoulder height to him, certainly taller than me, if you turned her sideways she might disappear from how thin she was, and her smile lit up even the darkness outside. I moved my glance from her to their joined hands and back again.

“Guys I want you to meet my girlfriend, Alyana,” Grayson said

I was seeing his mouth move, but I wasn’t sure I heard what he said. Girlfriend? Since when does Grayson have a girlfriend? Wait, why do I care? I don’t care. No, I absolutely do not care, I’m their friend, their assistant, nothing more.

The tall blonde gave a polite smile and wave to everyone and the guys all returned the gesture. I looked back at Ethan who was staring through me. I uncurled my legs, took my hood off and walked towards the loving couple. I extended my hand towards her “Hi, I’m Y/N, the twins assistant. Nice to meet you” I said trying my best to sound unshaken. She shook my hand smiling “Oh! I’ve heard so much about you! Gray says you’re the best cook, you’ll have to show me your tricks so I can make this guy his favorites!” She said placing her hand on Grayson’s chest. I fixated on her hand for a moment, looked up at Grayson, nodded in agreement and then excused myself to go inside.

Did I really agree? No. But she seemed way too nice to hate. Hell, I hated her for BEING so nice. No one is that nice. But of course, leave it to Grayson to find the needle in the haystack of fake LA bitches.

I was rustling through my bag in the living room when I heard the back door open.

“Y/N? Where are you?” A voice called out.

I didn’t answer. I didn’t want to talk right now. I still honestly had no idea why I felt upset. I had made it clear to Ethan that I had no feelings for Grayson, yet here I was with a green eye of envy shining brightly on my forehead.

“Hey there you are, what are you doing in here?” Ethan said, placing his hand on my shoulder.

My shoulder shrugged beneath his hand as I stopped rummaging through my bag, finding what I was after. I looked up at him with a sense of sorrow in my eyes. I didn’t want to show him I was upset, I always wanted to be the strong one for them, but I couldn’t help it. Ethan pulled me into a hug and rested his head on top of mine.

“I’m so sorry Y/N, I didn’t know either until tonight. It’s kind of weird he never even told me until now” Ethan spoke into my hair. I just stayed silent in his embrace listening to his steady heartbeat, letting it calm me for a moment.

After a minute I remembered what I was looking in my wallet for and stepped back from Ethan

“You won E, fair and square. Please tell the boys I’m not feeling well and I needed to head out” I said as I shoved something into his chest and his hands came up to grab it.

I grabbed my bag and headed towards the door while Ethan opened his hands to find the money we had jokingly bet on about Graysons phone mystery

“Y/N…” Ethan started but trailed off as I closed the door behind me and headed for my car.

Avocado Toast

Plot: You are the twin’s assistant and best friend for years. One day you notice things start to change and aren’t sure what to make of it. Will things work out? Or will you lose everything in your pursuit of happiness?

Warnings: None for this chapter, just mild swearing.

A/n: This is my first try so please don’t be too harsh!

“Helloooooooo” I yelled as I walked into the house, closing the door with my foot behind me.

It was 9:30 am and the house was eerily quiet. It wasn’t totally unusual to show up and no one greets me at the door, but I could usually find someone sitting on the couch or in the kitchen making breakfast. I headed towards the kitchen.

“Hey, Guys…” I started saying but stopped when I found an empty kitchen.

I walked around the house, through the studio, down the hall towards the bedrooms, it wasn’t weird peeking my head in since the doors were open. No one.

I was standing in the empty living room when I realized I never checked the guest house. Picking up the tray of coffee I pulled my sunglasses back down over my eyes and headed outside. The California sun was unbearable on my eyes and sunglasses outside 24/7 was a must.

As soon as I approached the guest house I could hear the music blaring

Of course, why didn’t I assume they’d be in the gym, I thought to myself

Turning the knob I followed the sound of the music into the small gym they had set up in what was supposed to be a guest house.

I stood silently in the doorway taking in the scene while neither had noticed I had entered the room.

One of them was running on the treadmill in a purple hoodie and shorts, his hood was over his head and he was looking down at the screen of the machine. I could see a headband holding his hair out of his face, as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

The other was on the weight bench doing a set of chest presses. He was shirtless and had on a pair of black shorts. He dawned a red bandana over the edge of his forehead and hairline. I had assumed to keep the sweat out of his eyes.

*Cough*Cough* I cleared my throat to make my presence known

The guy on the treadmill looked up and over at me and reached up to turn off the machine, while the other guy looked over but finished his set before racking his weights.

“Hey Y/N!” The purple hoodie moved towards me with arms open

“Hey E, no please I don’t need any sweaty hugs today. Love me from a distance” I teased.

He scoffed and reached out towards the coffee tray to grab his.

“Hey Y/N, what’s up,” the shirtless figure said

He stood up from the bench and immediately I was lost in thought. He stood much taller than me, I was a measly 5′2 on a good day, while he was somewhere around 6 foot. His physique was undeniably nice to look at. And while I had seen him many times in this very outfit, the sweat beading down his chest had caught me by complete surprise today and entranced me.

“Uh, Y/N? You okay?” He broke my stare

“Oh, uh yeah, hey Gray, here’s your coffee” I felt my face flush as I handed him his coffee, avoiding eye contact. Ethan was looking between the two of us with his eyebrows raised as a smirk grew across his face.

This feeling had caught me completely off guard. I had been the boy’s personal assistant for about two years now, and up until this very minute they had been like two brothers who 50% of the time drove me completely nuts. Usually on purpose. I had been the victim of many of their pranks, but also a sounding board when they needed to bounce ideas off of a third party.

I came by every morning to bring them their coffee and go over their schedules for the day. On big event days, I had to keep them moving from place to place to make sure they made it where they needed to be on time, and I even traveled abroad with them when they went.

I didn’t have much of my own personal life outside of these two, but in a way I was lucky. They were two of my best friends outside of work and during work hours it was never stuffy or boring. I often found myself crashing on their couch after a long night sitting by a fire laughing about stupid shit the three of us had been through together.

Grayson seemed to not notice my new shade of red I was dawning, either that or he was really good at playing it off that he didn’t. I wouldn’t put it past him not to notice, that was something Ethan and I always picked on him for. His peaceful oblivion. E and I would find ourselves looking over and laughing about something while Grayson would be completely in the dark. At this moment, I was thankful for that.

I quickly turned my back and headed out of the room “I’ll let you guys finish up and I’ll meet you in the living room, we have some new things on the calendar I need to fill you in on” I spewed out before rushing away.

I walked back into the main house and closed the door behind me, slumping against it for a moment and burying my face in my hands. I was so embarrassed. Ethan was in no way nieve to what had just occurred, even if I wasn’t sure what that was just yet. I would have to prepare for the teasing that was sure to come from him later.

________________________________

I sat on the couch opening up my laptop and planner, I had taken a few deep breaths, a few sips of my coffee, and gotten my shit together when I heard the door open.

“Hey Y/N, we’re just going to shower and we’ll be right out” Grayson yelled out.

After spending so much time with them they stopped even looking like twins. Sometimes I wasn’t even sure how people could possibly get them confused. I could tell it was Grayson talking without looking up because their voices were completely different.

20 ish minutes later a soggy haired Ethan came walking into the living room. I handed him a piece of avocado toast I had made each of them while they were showering. He took the plate, looked down at the toast and then back towards me.

I knew what he was going to say before the words even left his lips

“Shut it E, I don’t know what happened okay?” I shut him down. I knew he was going to poke at me about what happened earlier. He would never say anything in front of Grayson thank God, but he wasn’t going to let it go unnoticed.

“Hey, it’s fine. I’ve been waiting for a loooooooong time for this to happen” he smirked while taking a bite of his toast.

“Waiting for what to happen E, nothing is going to happen, nothing is happening. It was a momentary lack of judgment” I answered back. I had no idea what he was talking about.

What was he waiting for? There was never any signs this was ever going to happen, or that anything even remotely close to anything between Grayson and I would ever happen.

“Yeah okay, Y/N. Listen, just know, it’s fine. Even though I’m the older, more mature, superior twin, I’m fine with it.” He said very matter of factly.

I wanted to end the conversation, I had no idea what was going on right now and I didn’t want to give Ethan any indication that he was right. He wasn’t. I didn’t feel any sort of way. Of course, Grayson was attractive. Anyone with two working eyes could see that both Dolan twins were clear winners of the genetic jackpot, but that didn’t mean I liked either one of them in any way other than what it’s always been.

“Okay E, whatever you say, pal. Can we stop now?” I rolled my eyes, avoiding eye contact.

He nodded, sat back into the couch and continued devouring his toast.

A few minutes later a much more clothed Grayson walked into the living room, head buried in his phone. As usual

“Hey Gray, Y/N made avocado toast. Holy shit it’s so good. Oh yeah, I also ate yours” Ethan said.

I looked up from my laptop, I hadn’t even realized Ethan had eaten Graysons.

“Jesus E, you’re such a pig. Gray I’ll make you another one, just give me a minute” I said play punching Ethan’s shoulder and picking up the now two empty plates.

Grayson didn’t say anything, just nodded and kept his eyes on his phone.

The boy had a phone addiction. Ethan and I often tried to guess what was so important that he couldn’t be pulled away from it most of the day. Girlfriend? Porn? We had a bet going, I had bet he had a girlfriend no one knew about, and of course, Ethan was betting on the porn.

_________________________________________

I popped a piece of toast into the toaster oven and went to the pantry to grab another avocado. I turned to go back to the empty plate when I bumped into a chest.

“Holy shit! Gray, I’m sorry, I’m just grabbing another avocado, give me a minute I’ll whip you up another toast,” I rambled. What is wrong with me today?

“Hey, I can do that. I’m sorry Ethan is a jerk and ate mine. I appreciate you making us breakfast, but I’m an adult I really can make my own” he said.

That was something I liked about Grayson, he was so genuine. Of course, he was a goof and had his moments of being an overgrown child, but I swear he was an old soul. He just didn’t think or talk like most guys his age.

“No really, let me do it. I feel like it’s part of my job anyway” I shrugged and brushed past him back towards the toaster oven.

“No, your job is to keep our heads out of our asses, not make us breakfast” he laughed.

I smiled with my back towards him. He was right. That really was my job, but I always felt like doing these extra things for them. They always went above and beyond for me, it was the least I could do.

I shrugged him off and continued making the toast anyway. When I finished I turned to find him leaned against the counter watching me. He had been so silent I didn’t even know he was there. I jumped.

“HOLY SHIT GRAY! YOU COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING! SUPER SLEUTH OVER HERE” I yelled.

“Sorry, sorry, I was just watching the master practicing her craft” he chuckled.

“Oh yeah, that’s me, master avocado toast maker” I scoffed, handing him his plate.

“You are actually an excellent cook” He smirked taking a huge bite of his toast

“Omg, It’s just like the best. I don’t know what it is but yours always tastes the best” he said through a mouthful of toast, rolling his eyes upwards in pure enjoyment.

“It’s the extra love I put in it for you two goons” I winked as I walked back out towards the living room with Grayson in tow.

We both stopped, rolled our eyes, and laughed when we found Ethan asleep on the couch.
