"Big spoon or little spoon?" The interviewer asked.
"Big spoon." Jack said without hesitation.
After a few moments spent cracking inappropriate jokes, Alex answered seriously.
"Little spoon." Jack looked at the older boy from the corner of his eyes, trying not to blush or grin like an idiot.

They had just finished the last show of the tour and holy shit they were tired. The kids always seem to go even crazier than usual (if that's humanely possible) on the last night of tour.
Plus all night there had been a series of 'Jalex' chants, sex and dick jokes, and slapping each others bums on stage. Jack always seemed to get turned on at the wrong times, like when Alex's trousers are revealing a tiny sliver of his underwear and he's all sweaty, in front of thousands of fans. But he's too tired right now to fantasise about Alex, even if the image of the blonde bending over on stage replays in his head the entire night.
"'Lex..." Jack muttered, "I'm so tired.." Alex smirked and rested his head on the sweaty, black haired boys shoulder.
"Me too, you gonna shower or go straight to bed?"
"Mmmh, I don't know. You pick."
The thought of them showering together was appealing but Alex was just too damn worn out to even think of Jack naked and wet. He shook his head, he needed to stop thinking sexual thoughts about his fucking best friend.
"Well I'm going to bed, I don't really give a shit about showering. We're getting a hotel tomorrow anyway."
Jack raised his eyebrows suggestively making the older boy laugh lightly. "Whatever you want, douchebag. He said with a wink, before walking towards his bunk.
After a few minutes of complete silence, well except the noises coming next door from The Maine's tour bus of a party, Alex heard footsteps heading towards his bed.
His bunk curtains tore open, revealing Jack.
"Jack, what are you doing?" He said, wincing from the hallways lights as the younger boy climbed in.
"I can't sleep properly. Can we snuggle or something?"
"Uhhh.... I guess?" Jack slipped his hands around their bodies, pulled them together.
"Night 'Lex."
"Night, Jack."
A couple of minutes later Alex was still wide awake, pressed awkwardly against Jack.
"Jacky" He whispered, his best friends eyes fluttered open.
"What is it?"
"Could you like... move a little? This is fucking killing my back."
"Sure." Jack shifted again, this time letting go of Alex and facing the ceiling.
"No not like that. I'm cold, keep me warm - just don't stop me from breathing."
Jack smirked and turned onto his side to look at Alex. "Wanna spoon?"
"Spoon?....That sounds like something sexual." Alex hoped he was pulling a concerned facial expression, because honestly he wouldn't mind getting sexual with him. Jack giggled.
"Here, silly, I'll show you." He grabbed the blonde and turned him until he faced the wall, then he wrapped him arms around his stomach. "Better?"
Alex had to stop himself from moaning as he soaked in the warmth seeping from Jacks chest.
"Perfect." Alex sighed, sliding his hands into Jacks. Finally, the pair both went to sleep.

After the interview had finished, the band had gone straight home in what seemed to be the first time in forever. Jack was spending the night at Alex's house since he'd left his own at his parents house while on tour.
"Jack I'm going to bed now...." Alex whispered to the sleeping boy. They were watching Home Alone and Jack had somehow fell asleep halfway through the movie.
"I'm so tired." Jack said sleepily.
Alex was cold, tired and craving Jacks body against his again. He flushed red and closed his eyes tightly as he asked what was on his mind.
"You wanna spoon again?" Alex asked shyly.
Jacks eyes cracked open almost immediately and looked up at his best friend. Because, shit, Jack had been wanting to cuddle snuggle with Alex again since that night.
He grinned and took the blondes hand, leading him towards the bedroom.
They could get used to this.
