“Mm, yeah,” George mumbled with a nod, moving his hands to rub his eyes. “How was school?”
-
“Torturous-“ Clay half-joked, chuckling softly. He held George close, rubbing his back with a small smile.
-
“Aw. I’m sorry,” George said, sighing quietly and resting his head on Clay’s shoulder.
-
“It’s fine- I just really hate school,” Clay said with a sigh, holding George close and kissing the side of his head. “And I’m just, really bad at school, so-“
-
“Oh, I’m sorry about that, hun,” George said with a soft smile, resting a hand on his side and rubbing it gently with his thumb.
-
“It’s alright,” Clay spoke softly, hugging George closer. “It’s no wonder I got held back, though, honestly.”
-
“Is there a specific reason? Or you just don’t like school?” George asked softly.
-
“I dunno- I’m just bad at school, I guess,” Clay murmured, exhaling softly. “Like, I- I don’t know, I just don’t- I don’t understand what I’m being taught and no matter how people explain it, I just- I don’t get it…”
-
George lifted his head, running a hand through Clay’s hair. “Hey, that’s valid, though-“
-
“I just feel like an idiot, sometimes-“ Clay murmured, exhaling softly.
-
“Well. you’re not, okay? You should’ve seen me at the start of culinary school-“ George said with a chuckle and a reassuring smile.
-
Clay chuckled softly, watching George with a small smile. “I just- I don’t know, sometimes I think there’s something wrong with me-“ He mumbled, sighing softly.
-
George shrugged a little. “So what if there is. Does that define you?”
-
“When you’re famous and royalty like me, kind of, yes- If I’m not this ‘picture perfect guy’, the media makes everyone hate you,” Clay muttered, burying his face in George’s shoulder.
-
“Oh, hun, no,” George said softly, rubbing Clay’s back. “That’s not true- well- I don’t hate you.”
