Author's Notes: So... I'm in Hawaii! I've been pretty busy but I've busted out a few chapters when I was pretending to sleep. Anyways, this chapter is pretty lame. Sorry bro.
Master Post Jack emerged from the front door after hearing a series of honks, to find Rian driving a jeep full of people. Alex hopped out and helped him carry his bags to the car, placing them in the trunk. And Jack noticed that yeah, Alex's teeth did look whiter. He silently thanked Zack for making Alex go because it enhanced Alex's smile.
"Thanks, you didn't have to," Jack said with a smile.
"Yeah, I guess. It's no problem. You ready?" Alex asked while opening the door for the younger boy.
Jack sat down next to Matt and Alex climbed in after him, Zack being in the passenger seat.
"Cassadee is already there, so when we arrive she's just gunna lay down the rules and we'll have a kickass time." Rian explained, then turned up some New Found Glory.
The drive to the lake house was fairly quiet, which was weird because Zack was in he car. Zack normally wouldn't shut up but he was getting his 'beauty sleep' because god forbid he got dark circles.
Meanwhile, in the backseat Alex's knee brushed Jack's every now and then, making the raven haired boy shiver from the touch. Alex tended to have that affect on him. Jack didn't mind.
The car took one last turn an pulled into a long driveway. It lead to a one story cabin, with a lake peaking out from behind it. Rian parked the car and a very petite girl emerged from the house. She stood about 5'4 and her brunette hair had red highlights that was worn in soft curls. She was wearing a Bon Jovi band t-shirt and white acid wash skinnies. Her face was sprinkled with freckles and her hazel eyes reflected off the sun.
"That, would be my girlfriend Cassadee. Totally off limits. But I have a feeling that won't be a problem with you." Rian said to Jack before getting out of the car.
"Hey guys! I just made all the beds, come on in!" She gave a welcoming smile.
Rian walked up to her and gave her a long passionate kiss before continuing to carry his luggage into the house, followed by the other four boys.
The cabin had a very homey feel to it. The outside walls were made out of wood and there was also a little wooden chimney with smoke already coming from the top of it. There was a porch with swinging benches out front, and the lake was just beyond that. The small house was almost surrounded by pine trees, making the air smell heavenly. As the boys walked in through the wooden door into the cabin they saw that the inside had beige walls and hardwood floors. But the southside wall was nothing but a giant window, overlooking the distant mountains and half the lake. There were two tanned leather couches with a TV placed in front of them. They followed Cassadee into the living room and sat on the couches as she instructed.
"Alright guys! So basically, whoever you room with, you'll have to make breakfast and diner with them for one day. Rian and I will take on tonight and Monday morning before we leave, and you guys can decide on Saturday and Sunday. Sound good?" Cassadee gave a warm smile.
"Wait, so if you and Rian are rooming, I get to room with Matt." Zack stated, clearly not giving anyone the option to debate.
"Looks like I'm stuck with you." Jack said, prodding Alex's stomach with his finger.
"Lookin' forward to the shittiest weekend of my life." Alex mumbled jokingly before collecting his and Jack's luggage and walking towards a hallway. "Can you show us our room? I'm fuckin' tired."
"Last one on the right. And no, you can't switch." Cassadee added, before Alex turned into the room.
Alex shot her a confused look before opening the door and walking into the room. Suddenly, he knew what she was talking about.
Jack took in the room around them. The walls were cream, with a beige carpet. There was one window with tan curtains covering it. He craned his neck to check out the white closet doors and a desk. He turned his head to the other side to see a bathroom.
Alex and Jack stood next to each other, facing a medium sized bed with brown covers. Just one. They've shared a bed once, but they were drunk. But now that they're sober, everything's different.
"I'll, uh, I'll take the floor." Alex said, setting Jack's stuff on the bed and his own stuff on the carpet.
"You sure? I mean, I can, it's not a big deal." Jack argued, feeling guilty.
"I invited you here, not to accompany me and then sleep on the floor. Really, it's fine." Alex ensured, and shot Jack his best 'I'm cute so please listen to me and give your beautiful self some rest' smile.
"Fine… but I don't know how to compromise the fact there's no door to the bathroom." Jack said, giving Alex a smirk.
Alex wore a confused expression as he turned around to realize, the younger boy was right. There was no door leading into the bathroom, and therefore there would be no privacy.
"They so fucking planned this." Alex spat, shaking his head and turning back to face the raven haired boy.
"Hey, it's no big deal. If you don't want me to stare at you when you get out of the shower, I won't. Do I really look like I'm planning to rape you?" Jack questioned, giving Alex a 'c'mon now' look.
"I guess your right. Anyways, uh, I'm gunna go shower, so…" The older boy trailed off and shifted foot to foot.
"Oh, yeah. Okay, I'll go." Jack said, beginning to make his way to the door. "Oh, Alex?"
Alex turned around and Jacks lips collided with his with more force than they'd experience yet. There was something different about this kiss. It made his insides warm. There was something about the feel of Jack's lips on his in such a way that made him ache for more with innocence attached. Alex was about to deepen the kiss when Jack pulled away slightly, their lips barley disattached.
"Sorry, you can go back to what you were doing." Jack mumbled against Alex's lips.
"Oh, I know what I want to go back to doing." Alex said, before putting his hand in Jack's hair and reconnecting their lips.
After a good minute or so, Jack wasn't sure how long it had been because time had stopped and the earth's rotation speed up impressively, he hooked his fingers in Alex's belt loops and pulled the brunette closer to him so that their hips were pressed together. He moved his hands to rest on the older boy's hips.
Alex sighed and put his other hand behind the taller boy's neck, tightening his grip in his hair. Why did it still feel like Jack was so far away? He tried pulling him closer, deepening the kiss.
Jack was getting sick of this, he needed tongue. He wanted to taste Alex because he was… Alex. And that's not something Jack thinks he could ever get sick of. Apparently Alex had the same thoughts. He swept his tongue across Jack's bottom lip and Jack opened his mouth, welcoming Alex's tongue to fight with his. Both boy's were trying to take dominance, but Jack finally caved and Alex took control of the situation. A few minutes went by of tasting and exploring and being completely wrapped up in each other when Alex pulled away panting a little. Jack let out a small wimpier because honestly, he wasn't fucking done.
The brunette leaned his forehead against Jack's and let out a small laugh, looking down.
"As much fun as this is, I think I should go sort myself out. I'll come out of the room when I'm done to let you know it's safe and you won't walk in on anything." Alex looked back up at Jack when he finished saying this, to see Jack smirking down at him.
"You're acting like I'd mind if I walked in on anything." Jack replied smoothly. He kissed Alex quick before exiting the room, leaving Alex to jack off in the shower.
Jack closed the door behind him and padded into the living room to find Matt, Zack, Rian, and Cassadee sitting there, staring expectantly at him.
"Well it seems you've adjusted to your new living arrangements." Zack accused, without blinking an eye. He reminded Jack of an owl.
"Uh… yeah… sure?" Jack said, scratching the back of his head confused.
"You left the door open, you dumbass." Matt clarified, rolling his eyes.
"Whatever.." Jack mumbled, trying to hide his blush as he went to sit besides them. They watched TV in silence for about half an hour before Jack spoke up.
"Are we doing anything tonight? Or-"
"Oh, we're going to eat diner together, and then everyone is going to settle in their rooms. It'll be too dark out to swim or anything, and Rian and I agreed we didn't want anything tragic to happen. Oh, but since your room is the only one that doesn't have a TV, you and Alex could like, come in here and watch it. Cuddle and stuff." Cassadee said like it was casual and she asked him to cuddle Alex every day.
"I think that sounds like a wonderful idea." A voice from behind said.
They turned around to see Alex with his arms crossed leaning against a wall, hair sexily tousled and still a little damp, his cheeks having a light flush to them. He wasn't wearing anything except a white towel, sitting dangerously low on his hips. Jack couldn't look away for all his worth because Alex's torso was toned and fucking sexy. He couldn't help but let his mind wander to all the things he wanted to do with that body, biting and licking and just holding. Alex noticed Jack's eyes had widened, so he licked his lips and spoke again.
"If it makes you more comfortable, I can put some clothes on." He offered, giving a sheepish grin.
-
Dinner revolved around Zack talking about how highlighting his hair would contrast better with his skin's undertones and Cassadee complaining about her 'friend' Lisa's obsession with Alex.
"No, I swear, when she found out I was dating Rian she flipped! She kept asking me to set her up with Alex. Like, even is he was straight, he's a total 10- as if Lisa could get with that!" She scoffed and twirled a strand of hair around her fingers. "Besides, he would definitely look better with Jack." She continued with a wink.
"Thank you for dinner Cass, I'm going to excuse myself now to change." Alex said, standing up to put his food away. "And if you don't mind Jack, I'd appreciate it if you'd come with."
Jack didn't hesitate.
The raven haired boy followed the brunette into their bedroom.
"Am I watching a movie alone out there, or would you care to join me?" Alex offered while taking off his pants.
Jack tried to look anywhere but Alex, why was just standing there in tight grey boxer-briefs and a tight white v-neck.
"Uh, yeah sure." Jack said, still not meeting Alex's eyes.
Alex put on a pair of grey sweats and stood there, staring expectantly at Jack. "Aren't you gunna be uncomfortable in those clothes?"
Jack let out a nervous laugh and started to take off his pants, surprised when Alex still didn't look away.
"Jack, I don't know if you've realized this, but you're fucking hot." The brunette announced, checking out the aforementioned boy.
"I. uh, no. I haven't… thanks. I guess. Heh." Jack said, scratching the back of his neck.
Jack didn't think he looked hot, he was standing in the middle of a room wearing a black shirt and black boxer-briefs. He was too tall and too skinny and there wasn't anything special about him. At least, nothing someone like Alex should find attractive. He quickly stepped into his red plaid PJ pants and tried to force his cheeks to take on a normal colour.
He and Alex walked into the living room and sat on the couch. Alex picked up the remote and turned on the tv, flipping through the channels.
"So, the only movie on is Saw IV, sound good?" Alex lied, looking at Jack. Who fucking cares if it was a lie and really- a million other movies were on at the moment, he wanted to cuddle.
"Uh, yeah. Psh, this is for pussies." Jack said, trying his best to sound cool and not make it obvious that scary movies scared the fucking shit out of him, and he probably won't sleep for the next three weeks.
"Are you sure? Something tells me you'll be hiding your face in my shirt the entire time." Alex replied with a smirk.
"Well it would be an awfully good excuse." Jack said, smirking down at Alex before turning back to the screen.
Within the first twenty minutes of the movie, Jack was holding Alex's hand and practically sitting on top of him. Every thirty seconds he was hiding his face in Alex's chest (just as Alex had planned), squeezed his hand every time it got suspenseful and whimpered every time a limb was cut off one of the actors. Alex had his free hand wrapped around Jack protectively, and was keeping him as close as possible enjoying the close contact.
The movie ended and Jack tried to get up, out of Alex's grip, but he found the brunette fast asleep with his head resting on Jack's. He didn't know how the older boy managed to fall asleep, because that movie was fucking horrifying. The raven haired boy had no choice but to carry the brunette bridal style to their room, getting an "awww" from Zack, who was playing the peeping Tom. Jack was about to snap a sassy comment back to him, but couldn't get himself to because he couldn't deny Alex looked fucking adorable at the moment.
He lifted the covers off the bed and placed Alex down, to pull the covers back up to his shoulders.
"Goodnight Alex." Jack whispered sweetly to the sleeping boy and placed a kiss on his forehead. He stood there for a few moments, trying to convince himself that climbing in bed with him would be a bad idea.
He slid his shirt off and grabbed the the pillow Alex wasn't resting on and took the throw blanket on the end of the bed and made his bed on the floor.
For the next twenty minutes Jack just stared at the ceiling, wishing that he could be sleeping next to Alex. And yeah, some of the insomnia might have to do with the fact he just watched the scariest shit of his life and was afraid that if he moved he would end up in some trap that cut his dick off.
