"I'm coming, I'm coming! Jeez, could you knock any louder?" Alex asked while opening the door of his apartment to expose a happy looking Rian and a smirking Zack.
"Well what's up with you two?" Alex wondered aloud while scratching his torso, stepping aside for the boys to come in.
"Nothin', we just wanted to stop by and say hi to our bestest bud. Plus, this is my house and you're just renting." Rian said casually while slipping off his shoes and ambling into the living room.
"Okay…. then why the mood? And clearly, but you said you'd be home tomorrow. Evening. Not 9AM douchebag." Alex stated, obviously confused.
"Oh just tell him already! I can't take it." Zack squealed as he went to join Rian on the black leather couch.
"Fine! Fine, I will." Rian said while rubbing his hands together. He took a deep breath before continuing his explanation. "I'm going out with Cassidee."
Alex took a seat on the other couch and his mouth fell open, shocked. Rian has been obsessed with her since sophomore year in high school and he finally grew the balls to ask her out. Everyone knew they liked each other except for, well, them.
"That's great dude! You'll finally get laid!" Alex joked.
"Please, that still won't happen." Zack chimed in, then meeting Alex's knuckles for a fist bump.
"Haha, very funny. But," Rian began, his sarcastic voice gaining seriousness, "We've also decided that it's time you get a boyfriend." Alex's smile dropped and he sat there emotionless.
"C'mon Alex, yeah you're previous boyfriends have been dicks, and I'm not the host of 'Millionaire Matchmaker', but just go on one date with whoever Zack and I find for you and we'll stay out of your dating life. For good."
"Yeah, we swear. One date can't kill you, anyways. Because we're not picking a Jeffrey Dahmer for you. Right Rian." Zack said.
"Right!" Rian assured a little too enthusiastically.
"Fine, but I definitely get a say in this." Alex sighed, followed by Zack letting out a girlie squeal.
"I told you he'd say yes!" Rian said to Zack. "So, Alex, what are you looking for- personality wise?"
"Well, definitely funny, caring, nice, the typical shit you'd get form anyone. Uh, not that whole girl-in-a-guy's-body thing. I just want a guy who likes Blink 182 and is gay. Just gay, not the 'guy' or 'girl' in a relationship, if you know what I mean. Well, he could be bi, but I guess you already know that... just make sure he likes cock."
"Well that was barley helpful." Zack said.
"Alright, alright, well that narrows it down to everyone we know. Anyways, how about appearance?" Rian questioned. Alex smiled a little.
"Well, I don't like buff guys. He can be toned, but buff guys are usually arrogant dicks. So skinny. Uh, not blonde. I definitely do not like blondes. Brown or hazel eyes. Taller than me. How about that whole like… punkish look? Like, dyed hair and all that kind of stuff. Maybe some tattoos. Why is this so hard? Just find me an attractive male who likes dick!" Alex let out an exhausted sigh.
"Okay… hmm. Brendon's single!" Rian suggested.
"Yeah, because he cheated on his last girlfriend with Ryan Ross. So scratch both of them off." Zack replied.
"Pete? He's pretty punk. But he's in with the stoner crowd, and sorry Alex but we're not letting you get into that shit. Hey… Zack, what do you think about Jack?" Rian said raising an eyebrow.
"Barakat? That cute kid that was at Matt's party last week?" Zack said.
"Yeah, he's gay no doubt. We've been texting all week and he's definitely mentioned having some ex-boyfriends. He's a cool guy, I'll text him right now asking what he's doing." Rian said as he pulled out his phone.
"Guys… I don't know if this is a good idea. I mean, first you barley know him, second what if he doesn't like me? I mean, if you guys think he's attractive than so will I…. but what if he doesn't think I am? Like… I'm only average. He could get better if he's all you say he is." Alex said, biting his lip.
"Well, you'll have to find out because he's on his way over. And go put on some pants before he comes." Rian said, closing his phone and putting it away. Alex blushed as he stood up to walk over to his room, forgetting he was only wearing tiny pink boxers.
Alex found himself standing in front of his mirror, wearing his best butt-jeans which looked as if they were painted on to his skin, deciding between a black v-neck, a white v-neck, and a Blink182 shirt. Not even sure if Jack likes Blink 182, he threw it onto the floor of his closet and looked between the last two candidates.
He ended up throwing on the white one and ran into his bathroom, plugging in his hair straightener. He brushed his teeth- speaking he woke up only half an hour ago and hadn't bothered. He ran his hands through his hair a few times to detangle it a bit until he heard the beeping of his straightener reading 420 degrees fahrenheight (215 degrees celcius). He straightened pieces until his hair fell perfectly and put in some volume-inducing product. Once he was satisfied he hair sprayed his hair perfectly still, yet flexible, and decided something was missing. He unplugged his straightener and ravaged through his counters until he pulled out the little black stick. He pulled down his bottom eyelid and lightly put on a thin coat of, yes, guyliner. Which happened to look really fucking hot in Alex's opinion. It wasn't very noticeable, but definitely looked good.
He did decide that this would be a rare thing. He walked into his bedroom and pulled out the drawer of his nightstand to get out a piece of mint gum. Not risking bad breath. He took one last look in the mirror and sighed, he thought for once he actually looked pretty damn good, for him that is. He just hoped Jack agreed. His thoughts were cut off when he heard a loud knock on his door. Correction, Jack, knocking on his front door.
