Tayler's Pov: The past few days with Payton have been great Seeing him happy and relaxed has made everything so easy.
Me and Griffin have really bonded over the tour and Payton has only brought us closer.
Right now Griffin is helping Payton makes sculptures with playdoh and while I told them not to mix the colors I know it'll all just become a big lump of brown when they are finished.
Payton happily smashes a ball of playdoh against the table releasing a squeal followed by a string of happy giggles.
Griffin is all smiles as he looks at the happy boy suddenly he's pulled Payton into his lap attacking the boy with kisses and tickles.
Payton squeals excitedly trying to wiggle away he manages to get away for a second but Griffin follows after him scooping up the small boy plopping him onto the bed by my feet tickling him again.
Griffin lifts up Payton's shirt to blow a raspberry on his stomach Payton releasing a strained laugh obviously getting worn out he's giggles become more like gasps as he smiles.
I sigh and move towards them at the foot of the bed before smiling at Griffin before slipping my hands under Payton's arm pits and pulling him into my lap.
He wiggles obviously thinking I'm going to tickle him as well but I just shush him holding him close before placing a kiss to his check.
I pet through my hair it's slightly damp with sweat his hair sticks to the back of his neck and forehead as he pants catching his breath.
Griffin gets up for a moment before bringing back Payton's sippy cup full of water he sits next to me leaning against my shoulder before handing the cup to Payton.
Payton hums happily as he drinks cooing softly as I watch his eyes flutter.
"You wore him out" I mumble to Griffin leaning my head on to his where he rest against my shoulder
"Good it's nap time" he yawns
I sigh watching Payton's head lull back against my chest eyes finally slipping closed
"I guess a nap won't hurt" I whisper letting my eyes close as well.
Payton's Pov: I jolt awake to the loud pounding on the hotel door. I slip out of Taylers lap and shuffle to the door.
As I open the door I'm greeted by Chase, Noen, Sam, Harrison, Kevin and Bryce Clad in swim trunks with towels around their necks
"Gets changed we're going swimming!" Chase tells me excitedly
"Oh Tayler and Griffin are asleep" I tell them
"Get changed we'll wake them up" Chase says looking mischievous
I sigh and grab my swim trunks before heading into the bathroom as I change I hear a couple loud thumps a bit of yelling then a couple or groans.
When I come out changed Tayler and Griffin are glaring up at a giggling chase and devious looking Bryce.
15 minutes later we are all down at the pool we are greeted by Jaden and Anthony trying to dunk eachother under the water.
I cannonball into the pool splashing both of them soon to follow everyone else jumps into the pool.
After thirty minutes of swimming I notice that Griffin and Tayler have just been sitting on the edge of the pool for the past few minutes talking they are leaned in close together.
Suddenly they both stand and move to grab their towels before walking towards the entrance back to into the hotel; I guess they thought no one had noticed them leaving.
I swim to the side of the pool closest to the door before calling out
"Where are you two going"
"Oh ugh we forgot our phones upstairs we're just gonna go grab them" Tayler says
"Oh okay" I reply before watching them walking into the hotel
I swim back over to everyone else and it's not long before we start a game of chicken.
After a few games of chicken I swim off the the side and pull myself up to sit on the edge of the pool.
I lean back slightly enjoying the warmth of the sun against my skin my skin feels warm and I can't help but feel relaxed.
I get out and attempt to sunbathe for awhile but quickly get bored I look around for Tayler and Griffin and realize they aren't back yet.
"Maybe they got lost" I mumble to myself
I grab my towel draping it over my shoulders before heading inside and up to the room.
Walking down the hall to our room I pop my key card out of the back of my phone case. I get to the room and swipe the card before pushing the door open.
I shut the door behind me the room is quiet as I walk into the main room where I'm greeted with a very shocking sight.
Sat at the foot of the bed were Tayler and Griffin leaned in close hands on eachothers faces eyes closed lips brushing together softly.
My focus is completely on them my heart races my emotions are just everywhere this is completely unexpected I didn't think they were gay I didn't think they were into eachother and I didn't think I'd feel soo...heart broken
At that thought I whimper a little it obviously alerts them to my presence. They pull away from eachother quickly cheeks flushed when their eyes land on me I can see the panic cross their faces.
"Payton" Tayler says carefully
"It's not what you think bud" Griffin tries
"So you don't like eachother and you aren't kissing" I say
"Okay well maybe it is what you think" Tayler sighs he reaches out for me to come closer
I move closer and they scoot apart for me to sit in between them.
"Me and Griffin have been talking and we've decided that we're going to be date because we like like eachother" Tayler explains
"I'm not little you don't have to talk like that" I mumble
"Payton are you okay with this" Griffin asks
"Why's that matter?" I ask
"We just don't want you to think this changes how we feel about taking care of you" Griffin says
"We want to take care of little you and we still want to be friends with big you and we just hope this doesn't change anything" Tayler says
"Just friends" I mumble curling up on myself
"Payton what's wrong" Griffin asks pulling me against his side
"You don't like me too" I mumble again
"Payton..do you.. like us?" Tayler asks
I nod softly
"Oh buddy" Griffin says pulling me into his lap my bear back against his bear chest it's then I realize that my skin if stick with sun screen and the sent of chlorine lingers among us
"Payton baby are you even gay" Tayler asks
"Are you?!" I bite back a bit bitterly
"Well no not exactly" Tayler sighs
We fall silently for a moment
"You don't like me back do you" I whisper
"Payton that's not it" Tayler coos sadly he sounds just as hurt and stressed as I do
"We just didn't really think about that normally couples are well just that a couple" Griffin states
"This is just a really complicated situation" Tayler says rubbing my knee
"Just say you don't like me so I can leave" I say my voice wavers and cracks
"Oh pay.. look we just hadn't thought about this and we're just now even realizing you like us like that" Tayler starts placing a comforting hand against my cheek that I can't help but lean into
"We don't not like you I think maybe us three just need to give this some time and exploring okay" Tayler says stroking my cheek
Tayler looks to Griffin for conformation and he hums before pressing a kiss to the top of my head this causes Tayler to smile and kiss my cheek.
We sit together or a few moments enjoy the closeness till my stomach rumbles loudly causing me to blush.
"I'm a bit hungry" I laugh out awkwardly
Griffin laughs and Tayler smiles
"You two get changed I'll order us something" Tayler says pressing a kiss to both our cheeks before heading onto to balcony to call and place an order for food.
