anika has invited gray to her house

gray assumes it's because anika needs a french tutor

gray is wrong

anika wants to turn gray into him

if she can't have what she lost, she'll create it

pitter pat goes anika's feet as she bounds down the hardwood stairs and opens the door

she greets him with a friendly smile, and gray returns it brighter and happier

"my parents aren't home," anika says to gray

gray doesn't sense a suggestive tone in her words

but then again, gray never senses anything

he simply laughs and jokes about how they could practice french as loud as they wanted to then

there isn't a suggestive tone in his words

but anika imagines there to be

she smirks

her arms wrap around gray's neck, and she kisses him gently

gray definitely did not think this was the kind of french he'd be tutoring

he grins a small grin against anika's lips

he honestly enjoys tutoring this kind of french much more

his heart flutters with excitement, as does anika's

neither for the same reason
