"Babe, we've been laying around all day. Don't you think we should go to school? We've missed four periods already!" Jack attempted to persuade his boyfriend into getting off the couch, maybe even do something productive, but simply got a grunt and a hand swatted in his direction. Which was a total fail, speaking Jack was across the room in the kitchen, making food for the two.
If you can't tell, they'd missed school. After a short argument in the car parking lot, Jack caved in and took him back to the apartment where they snugged for a few hours.
Jack wasn't surprised Alex had an STD, to be honest, he'd prepared himself for the worst. He'd learned to be grateful and since the STD is so easily cured, he decided to look at the positive. Anyways, this gave him another weeks or so of watching porn and taking mental notes for when Alex recovers. And all the fun he could have teasing the brunette.
Yeah, Jack knew he was well hung, but Alex has been around the block and if Jack has a poor performance that would just really suck. And it would probably be the rise and fall of his sex life.
It wasn't typical of Jack to remain calm about serious situations, but for unknown reasons he had a good feeling about Alex recovering. That didn't disguise his anxiety about Isobel, though.
Alex's mood was shitty, and if Jack didn't love him he would have made up some excuse to leave, but telling Alex about his encounter with this mother wouldn't improve anything for the better.
What if Alex was mad that Jack was so rude to her? He could have gone wrong in so many ways, he was afraid of Alex's reaction. He padded over the the couch and crouched next to it, running his knuckles down Alex's cheek. "You wanna eat at the table, or stay here?"
"Jus' wanna lay 'ere an' die." Alex responded, tilting his chin up and closing his eyes to focus on the movements of Jack's hands. He'd never admit this to anyone, but his boyfriend has some seriously soft hands.
"What lotion do you use?" Alex asked, opening his eyes when Jack started laughing. "What?
"Seriously, Lex? You want to know what kind of lotion I use?"
"Yes, I do. Your hands would feel so good around my dick."
Jack rolled his eyes at Alex's comment, even though he was slightly glad Alex made a sexual comment. He'd been extremely innocent since they got home, Jack would almost consider it prude. The cuddling was very simple, no kissing, their bodies weren't as close as they could have been. It was… strange.
"I'll be right back, kay babe?" Jack informed as he stood up and walked into the bathroom, ignoring Alex's pleas for him to stay.
He returned a minute later, bottle in hand. He moved quickly, manhandling Alex onto his stomach.
"Jack, what the fuck are you doing?" Alex asked as the younger sat on his ass. Alex moved his arms up so he could rest his cheek on the backs of his hands.
"I'm giving you a massage, just relax babe." Jack lathered the vanilla scented lotion onto his palms before placing them on Alex's back, moving in soft circles. He waited for the lotion to work into the skin before he spoke up.
"So, uh, Alex, there's something I sorta need to talk to you about." Jack started as he worked out the knots on his boyfriend's shoulder blades.
Alex hummed, shutting his eyes.
"Well, I don't really know how to bring this up, but when I was at the doctor's-"
Jack stopped himself when he felt Alex's ass vibrate.
"Getting excited?" Alex asked in a joking tone.
"I think that's your phone," Jack mumbled as he pulled the phone out of Alex's back pocket. "Uh, it's some unknown number."
Alex reached his hand back, signaling for Jack to hand him the phone. He flipped open the phone, greeting the person on the other line.
"M-mom?" Alex gasped as he lightly pushed Jack off him, moving into a sitting position. Jack quickly moved to the older, putting his arms around him and pulling him close.
Oh, Alex! I had to go through your medical records to find your number. Sweetie-
No! No, you can't. You can't do that, mom. You can't just one day decide to call me after three years of being on my own. You can't!
Alex, I know, but when I talked to Jack he mentioned how I never call and-
JACK? Jack talked to you? No, you've never met Jack! How do you even know who he is!
Didn't he tell you? He picked up your medicine from me! He made me realize that I should never have left you!
Alex put his hand over the phone, and mouthed, 'you did what?' to Jack.
"It was unavoidable! She just introduces herself as your mom and I got slightly mad at her for leaving you!" Jack whisper yelled.
"We're so dealing with this later." Alex whisper-yelled back, shooting Jack a glare before turning back to the phone call.
You can just fucking leave, disown your own goddamn child, not give a shit about them for a few years, and decide to come back into my life! You're not my mother, and I want nothing to do with you!
Alex, please! I realized it was a mistake, it's okay if you're gay!
Dad's not okay with it! I can't just move back in with you guys and be your kid again!
I didn't say that, but I could at least call you every now and then and-
No! Fuck you! And don't fucking call me back. You mean nothing to me. Alex spat, hanging up the phone.
"You didn't tell me you met my mother." Alex growled at Jack.
"You were in such a bad mood Lex, I was about to tell you but she interrupted with her phone call!"
"So that massage was just to relax me, so when you doped this fucking nuclear weapon I wouldn't react as badly?"
"Baby, come on, you've got to give me some credit. Wouldn't you have liked to be relaxed when you get the kind of news? I could have mentioned it on the car ride home when there was still a shit load of tension from your bitching!"
And Alex didn't know what happened, or what had gotten into him at that moment, but he definitely realized what he'd done when he heard the loud smack of his palm hitting Jack's face.
A/N: DON'T HATE ME OKAY I KNOW NO ONE WOULD SPEAK TO THEIR MOTHER LIKE THAT BUT WHATEVER. LOVE ME ANYWAYS?
So, I'm starting a new fic. THIS IS NOT GOING TO END SOON, BUT I'M GOING TO START ON THE OTHER ONE. And I was wondering if you guys would like me to post the prologue? I wrote it before I went in my writing block stage so it's not completely horrible.
