P.O.V.: Alex
Summary: Best friends Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat tell each other everything. At least, Alex thought they told each other everything. Jack has a secret, well three actually; 1. Jack is gay. 2. He is in love with his best friend. 3. He cuts.
Disclaimer: I don't own Jack, Alex, or anyone in the lovely band and crew that make up All Time Low. They all own each other. Amen.

I woke up to sunshine shining onto my face. I opened my eyes, glancing over at my phone and seeing that it was nearing noon. The long night of sleep had felt great to my jet-lagged body.
“Alexander, come say hello to your Nan,” my mom said, opening my door.
“Mom, you’re going to have to start knocking. I don’t want you to just randomly walk in on something you don’t want to see,” I told her, glancing over at her before looking at the ceiling.
“Alex, I’ve seen it all,” she said, rolling her eyes at me.
“Somehow I doubt you have,” I told her.
“Will you please just come hello to Nan?”
“I already did. I said hi to her when we got here,” I told her, and she frowned.
“Alex, we came here to spend time with her. Now get your ass downstairs and visit,” she said, and I quirked an eyebrow.
“My ass?”
“You’re not five anymore. I can say bad words in front of you,” she said, and I smirked.
“Can you? Am I now going to see the bad ass side of my mom?” I asked.
“Don’t count on it. Now come on,” she stated, turning around and moving to walk out the door. “Move it, Alexander!”
“Oh, shut up! I’m coming,” I said, huffing and rubbing my temples. I heard my phone buzz, and I reached into my pocket, taking it out. I opened the message, smiling as a picture of Jack and Sebastian was displayed onto my phone. I grinned widely, seeing my boyfriend had his arm wrapped around the puppy, nuzzling his nose into his white fur. I grinned, saving the picture to my phone. I reopened the message, hitting reply.
My boys <3
I shut my phone, standing up and putting it back in my pocket.
Jack texted back quickly, and I took my phone out again as I walked out of the room.
I miss you already.
I miss you more, baby. Why are you awake so early?
I can’t sleep without you by my side <3
You’re so full of shit.
“Hello, Alexander,” I heard a voice say, and I looked up to see my grandfather standing near the top of the steps.
“Hi, pops,” I said, giving him a hug.
I walked downstairs behind him, chatting with him happily. I felt my phone buzz again, and I opened another picture, seeing a sleepy Jack staring at me through a picture. I grinned, reading the messages underneath it.
I’m so lonely without you, so I’m just going to send you pictures of my day.
I slid my phone shut, going into the kitchen, where Mom and Nan were busying themselves in cooking.
“Hi, Nan,” I said, giving her a kiss on her cheek.
“Alex,” she grinned, patting my own cheek. “Hello, love.”
I sat down at the kitchen table, watching them move around.
“So, Alexander,” Nan started, and I looked up. “Where is this sweet boy your mum has been telling me all about?”
“He’s at home. Probably with his parents,” I told her.
“What’s his name?”
“Jack,” I answered.
“And why didn’t you bring him with you?” she questioned.
“I don’t know. I didn’t really think about it,” I said.
“Next time you need to bring him. I like to know all of my family,” she said, making me grin to myself.

I made some breakfast
I read the caption of the picture before scrolling down, seeing Jack eating a sausage link and looking at the camera through his eyelashes.
I laughed, rolling my eyes at my boyfriend. I scrolled through the other messages, seeing there was about two more from him.
Took a shower.
I saw Jack, dripping wet and obviously naked, blowing a kiss at me. I went to the next picture, feeling my heart melt as I looked at the next picture. He was fast asleep, and I guessed May must have taken the picture for him.
Took a nap.
“You wanna see my boyfriend, Nan?” I asked her, walking over to her.
“Of course,” she said, taking the phone from me. She smiled as she looked down a the picture. “Very cute. You have excellent taste.”
“I thought so,” I said, smiling and closing my phone again.

I was surrounded by family, and a few of my grandparent’s friends, to celebrate Nan’s birthday. I sat with a couple of my cousins, joking and catching up. I felt my phone buzz again, and I opened it.
Woke up with morning wood.
I looked at the picture, seeing a picture of Jack’s fully erect penis. My eyes widened and I shut my phone quickly, paranoid one of my cousin’s may have seen.
“Are you okay, Alex?” my cousin, Jenifer, asked.
“Y-yeah,” I said, noticing that my face had quickly become red. Fucking Jack, damnit.
I heard my phone buzz again, and I reluctantly opened the message.
Jerked off.
His hand was wrapped around his cock, thumb playing with the tip as he squeezed the shaft. I felt a stirring in my lower half, heart beating rapidly as I closed the message.
“Alex,” I heard my mom say, and my head flew up.
“What?” I asked, and she raised an eyebrow.
“They’re cutting the cake. Come get a piece,” she said, and I felt my face flush again.
I followed my mom, trying to ignore the buzz in my pocket as I walked. I grabbed a piece of chocolate cake, sitting back down and beginning to eat. I pulled my phone out carefully, opening up the new text.
I was thinking of you.
I saw Jack’s face, head thrown back and mouth open in a perfect ‘O’. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were rolled back. I felt my cock beginning to strain against my jeans, and I choked on my cake.

Skype with me?
I clicked on the Skype icon, signing onto it. Jack was quick to call me, and I smiled as I saw his grinning face.
“Hi, baby,” he said, fixing his glasses. His hair was messy and he was only in his boxers.
“Hey, asshole,” I said, and he grinned wider.
“Did you get all of my messages?” he asked cheekily.
“Yes. Right in the middle of my grandmother’s fucking birthday party,” I said, glaring at him.
Jack laughed, and I saw a twitch of white on the bed next to him. I looked closer, seeing Sebastian asleep on the bed next to him.
“Are you at home, babe?” I asked.
“Yeah,” he answered.
“And you took Baz with you?! Aww!” I said, grinning and feeling my heart expand with happiness.
“Yeah,” he said, petting the small dog. “I couldn’t just leave him all alone.”
“Thank you,” I said.
“He’s actually pretty pleasant when you’re not around. He doesn’t growl every time I move,” he said, and I watched him pick up his cell phone. He typed up a message before putting his phone back down again.
“I told you he likes you,” I said, and he nodded.
“I miss you, Alex,” he said.
“I miss you too,” I told him.
“It’s really boring here without you. And I don’t like sleeping in bed alone,” he told me, and I noticed him pick his phone back up.
“I don’t either, “I told him, twirling my hair as I watched his fingers run over the keypad of his phone. “Nan wants me to bring you next time.”
“Why?”
“She wants to meet you,” I told him. “She yelled at me for not bringing you this time.”
“That’s funny,” he said, smiling.
“Baby, who are you texting?” I asked.
“No one important. Just an old friend,” he answered.
“Can’t it wait until we’re done talking?” I asked, and he nodded, tossing his phone to the other side of the bed.
“Sorry,” he apologized.
“It’s alright, babe. So what else have you done today?”
