(TW: Fluff in this chapter.)
George's Pov
I awoke to see Clay was getting dressed.
"Clay?" My voice was groggy because I just woke up.
"Sorry did I wake you, George?" Clay kept quiet for me.
"Mmm...What are you doing up?" I questioned.
"I have to drop Nick off at the airport, you can go back to sleep if you want to, George." Clay explained.
"No...I wanna say goodbye to Nick at least." I answered, getting up from the bed and wiping my tired eyes.
"Alright, just get some more rest once we leave, ok?"
"Mmhm" Was all I could get out of my tired body.
Clay guided my tired ass downstairs and I spotted Nick just petting Patches.
Nick saw me, "Good morning, George. Come to see me off then?"
I huffed, "Something like that."
I walked over to Nick and hugged him and we said our goodbyes for now.
I groggily waved halfway the stairs and went back into Clay's room.
Flopping onto the bed and almost instantly falling back asleep. I checked the clock on Clay's nightstand, 4:20 am.
I pulled the blanket over myself and went back to sleep.

Clay's Pov
As soon as I saw George was back in my room, Nick and I left the house.
Nick hopped in the rental car, as we needed to return it, and then head to the airport immediately after. I got in my car and followed Nick to the car rental place.
Once we returned the car, Nick got in my car, and we made our way to the airport.
***
Once at the airport, Nick and I hugged him a bit.
Nick broke the hug, "It was so much fun being here, man. Maybe next time we should invite Karl and Alex, thoughts'."
I snickered out, "It was chaotic enough with just us, can only imagine what would happen if all us feral boys got together."
Nick laughed, "But anyway, I've got a flight to catch. So see ya." And with that Nick got his luggage and entered the airport, to get on a plane.

The drive back home was quiet and relaxing but yet, I'd have to do the same thing tonight with Zak and Darryl. Drive them to the airport and then head back to George. Then hopefully get some sleep before having to do the same with George at 1 pm tomorrow.
I sighed, 'Next time, I'm gonna have to make sure that their flights back are evenly spaced out.' I thought to myself.

George's Pov
I woke back up after I heard movement in the room and saw Clay putting his hoodie away.
I groaned a bit to get Clay's attention and spoke emphasizing the Y in Clay's name.
"Sorry, I didn't think I'd wake you." He paused. "I was just about to crawl back into bed with you, George."
He did as he said, crawling back into bed with me and spooning my body, making me feel ten times more comfortable within his protection.
He spoke comforting words into my ear, soon I went back to sleep and so did Clay.
***
We both woke back up around 8 am and ate.
Eventually, Darryl and Zak joined us in the kitchen, talking about how they have to leave tonight at 9 pm.
"It's sad we couldn't stay longer," Darryl said.
"Yeah but, but at least Darryl and I will be in the same place, for another week." Zak chimed in.
I gave a confused look to the duo, "Oh really, how come?"
Zak spoke up, "Well, we arranged this so I could head back to his place for a week after this."
"Good, you guys need it," Clay said with a smile.
Darryl agreed, "Yeah, it's been some time since we've been able to see each other face to face."
Darryl paused before questioning Clay and me, "So, you guys gonna meet up again, in the future?"
Clay wrapped his arm around me and rubbed my side, "Definitely...we'd just have to figure out when."
"That's good," Darryl said.
***
After Clay and I were done eating, we moved to the sofa and watched some TV.
Darryl and Zak went to their room to pack up and make sure they had everything before they had to leave tonight.
I was sitting at Clay's side and asked Clay, "Hey Clay, can I sit on your lap?"
He answered swiftly patting his lap, "Of course, Gogy."
I relocated to his lap and laid my back on his chest. Clay wrapped his arms around my stomach and placed my hands over his hands. He placed his head onto my shoulder and nuzzled my neck. He kissed my neck and return to watching TV. I pet his head, as he remained on my shoulder.
***
Today was extremely chill, as Clay and I just watched some TV cuddling. Until the time came when he had to take Zak and Darryl to the airport.
"George, can I please get up? I need to take them to the airport soon." Clay questioned me as I didn't want to move from the comfort of his lap.
"Fine..." I huffed out, getting off his lap, and laid onto the sofa.
Soon Darryl and Zak entered the living room with their belongings.
"You guys ready to go?" Clay asked.
Darryl answered with, "Yup, we have everything."
I got up and hugged Darryl, thanking him for his support of me.
Darryl replied, "No problem, George...Oh and call me if you ever need someone to talk to. I'll back you up."
I giggled, breaking the hug and thanking him once more for the help. I headed upstairs as I needed my rest for tomorrow.
