Im The Only One OUT Of The Loop It Seems

“I’m the only one OUT of the loop it seems”

★ — It's been a little over a month since the sudden shift in Gregory's routine ; since he stopped coming home straight after school, claiming to be out with Tony and Cassie instead, since he started bringing his own groceries home with no sign of where the extra money to pay for them was coming from ( he doesn't steal —— as much, anymore ), since the tension he'd first carried out of the pizzaplex all those years ago had begun to seep back into his shoulders, a wary eye given to the shadows of their small apartment.

Michael had noticed. Of course he had, Gregory knew he had, but he'd clung to his lie, clung to his friends as an alibi. It was only a matter of time before his guardian called him out on it.

He can practically hear Cassie's I - told - you - so in the back of his head.

Panicked look towards Tony— who shrugs, raising his hands to signal that Gregory's on his own here, the asshole— before letting his gaze flicker back towards his guardian. Nope, can't do that. Unable to look Michael in the eyes, Gregory falls back into old defensive habits ; furrows his brows, frowns, looks deliberately off to the side, arms folded across his chest and shoulders curling inwards, making him seem smaller despite the fact that he's close to Michael's own height by now.

"Maybe! So what, it wasn't like you would've heard me out anyways!"

( behind Gregory, Tony raises a hand to his face in disbelief ).
