Jack woke up to the sun peeking through the windows, which were loosely dressed in navy blue curtains. A light breeze was blowing in, causing the curtains to dance peacefully. Bird's chirping pierced the air and Jack wondered when his life became a pathetic fucking disney movie.
Jack tried to sit up when he felt a weight keeping him down. Confused, he looked down to see Alex with his head on his flat stomach, smiling up at him.
"Morning," Alex greeted, his voice thick with sleep, "do you happen to have any idea how we ended up in this position?"
Jack was about to answer, when he heard the closet door opening. His grip on Alex automatically got tighter, trying to defend them from whatever the fuck was emerging from the white wooden doors.
Ryan stumbled out of the closet, and looked up to give the two a sheepish grin.
"Uh, hi. Well, this is awkward," he let out a slight laugh before continuing on. "In case you guys were wondering, you didn't fuck. I'm surprised really, you should have seen how you guys were grinding, it was so fucking hot. Seriously, I could have gotten off to that. Anyways, I should be going now. Thanks for letting me crash in your closet. You know, that one you're hiding in?" Ryan smirked and left, without answering any further questions and leaving the two blushing bright red.
Alex was fucked, unless Ryan suddenly grew a heart, but Ryan was a total chick. And when he discovers a dirty little secret, he can't shut his mouth for all his worth. Alex sighed as he thought about his reputation, but his thoughts were disturbed by Jack's voice.
"My head hurts like a fucking bitch." He whined, hand absentmindedly running through Alex's hair.
The older boy's thoughts disintegrated when he noticed his head, too, felt like someone threw a pile of bricks at it. He ignored his head's cries and pleads and did something extremely out of his character.
"I'll go get you some painkillers and something to take it with, alright?" Alex said while sitting up, causing both boys to release each other from their grip.
"Alex… you don't have to. It's fine, I should probably go." Jack protested.
"Hey, if I didn't want you here, I would have either left before you woke up, thrown your clothes at you, and made you leave. So shut the fuck up and let me take care of you." Alex said pointing his finger at Jack, who was sitting on the bed giggling, and continued walking about the door while putting on a shirt he found on the ground.
Alex walked into the kitchen wondering when he became so pussy whipped. Hell, he and Jack weren't even dating, and Alex was taking care of the damn boy when he didn't feel well, even though he himself felt like shit. He notched that there were two smoothies on the counter, a sticky note, and a picture. He walked closer and picked up the note.
Dear Jack and Alex,
No one in their right mind would have disturbed you guys sleeping. I was going to tell you that I was going to the gym but I saw you two cuddling. It was too fucking adorable. Anyways, I took the liberty to make you guys strawberry-banana smoothies (Alex's favorite.) I grounded in some painkillers, so there's no need to worry about that. Oh, and look at the picture. I took it :) Pretty cute, eh?
-xoxo<33 Zack
Alex picked up the picture to see him, cuddled completely into Jack with his head on his chest, and Jack's head was buried into Alex's hair. Jack's arms were wrapped around Alex tightly, and Alex's arms were wrapped around Jack's waist, holding each other as close as possible. Alex had his leg around Jack's lower body and neither of them were wearing anything but boxers. You couldn't see Jack's face really, but you could definitely see the small smile plastered onto Alex's.
Alex smiled down at the picture and brought it along with the drinks to his room, where Jack was sitting up fully clothed.
"Zack made us some drinks that have painkillers in them. He also took this." Alex set down the drinks on the night stand and handed Jack the picture.
Jack carefully took the photograph in his hands and examined the photo. He smiled at Alex once he saw them cuddling on his bed, wearing nothing but their boxers, completely wrapped up in each other. He took note of Alex's smile as he rested his face against Jack's bare skin.
"Leave it to Zack to do something like this." Jack chuckled softly, his voice still groggy. Alex sat down next to Jack, putting his hand on Jack's thigh, rubbing small circles softy with with thumb. "But you have to admit.." Alex started, "we look pretty damn cute."
Jack's heart jumped, Alex had just called them cute, them. Together. Jack smiled warmly down at Alex, "Yeah.. we do." And with that Jack leaned down slightly and pressed his lips to the tip of Alex's nose. Alex heard the door to the apartment open as Jack pulled away.
Alex's face lit up bright red and he didn't know what to say. He's never had anyone show affection to him like the way Jack had been. He was so used to just having one night stands with random people he'd meet at parties. But with Jack… Jack was different. He wanted it to last with him, whatever it was. Alex had never gotten butterflies from someone before. With Alex, people had always been with him because of who he was, or who he was thought out to be. He was sick of being used for ego, which is something Jack didn't even know about.
Alex quickly stood up, blushing and looking down.
"I think I heard Zack come home, I'm going to go check on him." Alex shot a quick glance at the picture and walked out the door.
Alex walked towards Zack, who was a shirtless and sweaty mess, and gave him a huge hug.
"Thank you for my smoothie, you fucking chick," Alex muffled into Zack's shoulder and felt the other boy laugh.
"It was just a little thank you for looking so fucking cute this morning. Seriously, when are you going to ask him out? You can't deny that he's into you." Zack broke away from the hug to give Alex a serious look.
"I know, I know, it's just… I'm scared. Okay Zee? I'm scared, I'm a fucking pussy. It's just… I've never actually liked someone the way I like Jack, you know? And like all my previous relationships, I'm just going to ruin it. And I don't know if I'm willing to do that this time." Alex shrugged, unsure of his emotions at the moment.
"Alex, you seriously can't let the past determine your future. Call me a cliché bitch, but it's true. You can't hold back just because of girls. Seriously, you don't even like girls. And yeah, you may have fucked up with Ryan when you guys dated, but if you don't do shit just for the sake of your ego, people might actually stick around with you. I mean, we won't kick you out of our group for being yourself bro, you know that." Zack concluded, giving Alex a small smile.
"What are you talking about? I treated Ryan perfectly. He's just a tool, it's not my fault." Alex shot back defensively.
"He wanted to come out of the closet and you wouldn't. You thought that you were going to get rejected by our classmates so you let go of someone who actually loved you. And look at him now? He's totally different. I feel bad for the kid, everyone knows Brendon's cheating on him with Pete. Notice how Ryan couldn't find him at the party? Brendon and Pete totally were hooking up in the bathroom. All Ryan ever wanted is to be loved unconditionally and you couldn't give him that. You won't give anyone that and that's what Jack deserves. Don't even try denying that. I mean, of course I'm always going to support you babe, but someone needs to set you straight. And by that I mean come out as gay, if you and Jack do become something and that's what he wants. It's time to face your fears and treat people right Alex." Zack stated, and Alex knew that was the end of the conversation.
Zack left him and went into Rian's room and leaving Alex by himself to think. Alex knew the green eyed boy was right. Alex always knew, but he tried to ignore the fact as much as he could and keep things the way they were, which worked perfectly. But now, now there was this gorgeous, amazing guy in his bed who he couldn't afford to fuck things up with. Speaking of that beautiful boy, he should probably be getting back to him.
Alex padded back to his room to see Jack bending over, putting on his shoes. He leaned against the doorframe and watched the younger boy.
"Leaving already?" Alex asked, cocking his head to the side. Jack lifted his head to see Alex smirking at him.
"Didn't want to freeload. You've done enough for me in the past couple days." Jack looked at Alex, who was wearing a confused expression.
"Jack, you're not freeloading. It's not freeloading when I want you to be here. Anyways, I have something to ask you." Alex took his weight off the doorframe and grabbed Jack's hand, leading him over to the bed to sit across from each other indian style.
"So, Rian's girlfriend Cassadee has this really kickass house at Lake Trout, and I was kinda wondering if maybe you'd possibly consider going sort of with me?" Alex asked, losing all confidence and staring at his hands, which suddenly are extremely interesting
"Probably. When?" Jack said, hoping that Alex would just fucking look at him.
"Uh, Friday. I know it's late notice since it's Wednesday, but your parents aren't home so I thought you might wanna come. If you don't that's cool. I mean, again, you probably have a lot going on and I'm just some kid and,"
"If I say yes, will you stop trying to make excuses for why I wouldn't want to go? You did the same thing last time you asked me to go somewhere with you. Alex, I'm not going to say no to you." Jack explained with a slight chuckle. Because seriously, this kid in front of him was just too cute.
"So you'll go?" Alex asked with a huge grin growing on his face.
"Yeah, I mean, you have such a cute pout I don't know if I could reject it." Jack said.
"Hey! Cute is not a good adjective for me. You may use sexy, hot, fuckable, and orgasmic. Not cute." Alex demanded, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Zack knocked quietly at the door before opening it and poking his head in.
"Alex, we have teeth whitening appointments in twenty minutes so your little friend has to go soon." The green eye boy said, giving the two on the bed a 'sorry for interrupting' smile.
"Teeth whitening?" Jack questioned, looking back and fourth from Zack to Alex.
"I go to make him happy." Alex mumbled. "Yeah, I'll be there soon, just give us a minute."
Zack closed the door behind him and left the two alone.
"I'll walk you to the door. And about Friday, uh, Rian will probably pick all of us up between noon and one, alright?" Alex informed while standing up.
"Yeah, sure. Sounds great, thanks again." Jack said while copying the older boy's action.
They walked to the front door and Alex opened it.
"Bye." Alex said, blushing slightly for an unapparent reason.
"Bye Alex." Jack said with a wink before walking out the door.
"Oh, wait."
"Yea-" Jack was cut off my Alex's soft lips against his.
"Sorry, you can go now." Alex said, blushing even harder.
Jack laughed to himself as he walked away. God damn Alex was cute sexy, hot, fuckable, and orgasmic.
