My preferred MO is to squabble at you while you're on MSN, but you SIGNED OFF, so I have to do my flailing here.
You are so FUNNY. Maybe it isn't intentional, but there are so many lines here that are just so clever and lovely and hilarious, and obviously the whole thing is incredibly hot in that... good-natured, a little hilarious, right sort of way, if that makes any sense, and I love and adore it. Flyzik, especially, is a fabulous backup character here.
IDK. I really love it. And you! Keep up the good work. ♥
My internet is the worst, but I got it fixed for GOOD now, yaaaaay life.
I definitely ... TRY to be funny, haha. I think sometimes the best part about writing douchey teenage boys' POV's is that you can be lame and inappropriate and it's mostly in character!
Flyzik love forever, what a fantastic and patient man.

I love the contrast between the Jack/Josh solo molestations and the Jack/Alex solo molestation. Like - the Jack/Josh scene was really intense and hot but really more about the lust than the ~FEELINGS, whereas Jack and Alex, together... they're all about the ~FEELINGS. They are so full of feelings I'm surprised they haven't spontaneously combusted yet. They're so fucking sweet even when they're dry-humping against a wall, and THAT is an accomplishment. Just, like, they way they are together, kissing, teasing each other, alternatively testing the waters and diving right in at any given moment - ugh, all of the feelings. When Jack is all overwhelmed with joy at Alex's existence and wraps him up in a hug and just clings for a while - I FEEL YOU, SIR

> Josh’s hands capture Jack’s wrists and push them back against the door, keep them there with a hold likely to bruise while he kisses Jack like he’s looking for something, trying to say with his mouth what he would never otherwise admit. So here he says it, has left it licked hidden behind Jack’s teeth.
Ugh, this. This makes my heart ache for Josh, even though I've known from the beginning of Prep Alex that he gets the shitty end of the deal. Even though everything has kind of... snapped back into place for him and Jack, even though Jack KNOWS what this is about and Josh knows he knows, I can't not feel bad for him. He's so in control of the situation, he's calling the shots, he knows exactly how to push Jack's buttons, and he still gets the shitty end of the deal.
That doesn't mean that his dirty-talking to Jack about Alex is anything but 100% super-hot. Pretty sure I appreciate it about as much as Jack does.

FIC! I miss fic so much and this is delicious. Fabulous my dear, just fab. There is nothing more I can say that thirdonebetween hasn't already stated above. So. Good.
FIC. Fic is so weird. I kind of just accidentally got locked out of the bandom fandom like two years ago, and then I briefly tried getting involved in the ~ATL ~"fandom" but that was the worst and most terrifying hour of my life to date, so now I just hide in a thirdonebetween's pocket and we whisper back and forth about how All Time Low have made us shells of our former selves, and sometimes threesome fic happens while I'm trying to keep myself otherwise occupied in the down time. :)
Jack is still staring at him across the breakfast bar, even now that Josh has left, and Alex - Alex just stares back for a minute, frozen in the moment. His ears feel like they're burning with the things Josh was just saying to him and there's a knot sitting heavy in his gut like there was a lump in his throat and he swallowed it. He can't seem to catch up with his own thoughts. He's dizzy with mental images of Josh with Jack, his hands and his mouth on Jack, of Alex's own hands and mouth in those same places, of Josh's hands and Alex's hands and this picture Josh has painted for him that makes him feel guilty and intrigued at the same time, simultaneously overcome with want and doubly convinced that he's a complete idiot who only wants things he doesn't deserve

It's not like he was lying: kissing Jack is like breathing easy, finally, after all the drama and mind-games and tension that tonight has been strung together with. It's like exhaling after holding his breath for an hour. Jack's mouth opens so easily when Alex licks into it and this - this is the easy part, it's just getting here that's always the hard part. Alex doesn't know when this became his comfort zone but he thinks maybe Jack understands: he's sliding his hands up Alex's chest, tracing his thumbs over Alex's collarbones, and Alex shivers despite the heat. He feels so much better now, like this. If he needs to prove something - and he does, he knows he does. Joshua King is not a subtle person. If he needs to prove something, he can fucking prove it. Jack is cupping his jaw, angling Alex's head to deepen the kiss, and Alex can't help but nip at his lower lip and make Jack chase him, meeting his advances with little licks and bites until Jack says "hey", slightly disgruntled, and Alex laughs against Jack's mouth, gives a little

Bro I just have so many feelings about this scene with Jack and Alex. And you expand upon them PERFECTLY. I love that making out with Jack is like finding inner peace for Alex. Some people use yoga, but nope, Alex is just fine with grounding his centre of gravity in Jack's mouth.
JOSHUA KING. I need people to refer to him as this all the time. JOSH-UA *KING*. So much aptness in that surname.
I want to spend at least a month of my life in this part where Alex is thinking about Josh and proving things.
And then I want to spend a YEAR in the part where Alex "clutches him close ... as if he could hold him tightly enough that all of the thoughts and confessions and apologies that Alex has ever dry-swallowed instead of saying aloud could be pressed right into Jack's body". I love that they both ... think about wanting to be able to say things to one another without having to actually say them, because they can't yet or whatever. It's romantical as balls

Jack is still staring at him across the breakfast bar, even now that Josh has left,Oh no it's totally cool, bro, just open with a line like that, it's fine, I didn't need to breathe or anything. FUCK. Alex is ... the most unassuming, self depreciating little fool. How can both he and Jack be so fucking clueless? Sometimes I'm truly amazed that they ever manage to get their shit together, even long enough for super stealth makeouts
