New Year's Eve

-Jack POV-

Tonight's party was held at Austin's New Jersey home which meant I didn't have to drive for that long. I wan in his bathroom checking my appearance in the mirror for when I eventually see Alex, these parties are smart dress code so I was wearing my black skinny jeans and red dress top leaving the top button undone due to it choking me, I took a look at myself for a moment and I had to admit that I actually looked pretty good.

I washed my hands and walked out to where everyone was mingling and making awkward small talk with one another. We'd stopped this tradition about 3 years ago and everyone was probably wondering why it was back, they seemed to be fine with it though, drinking and having a good time with people who obviously shared the same passion as them, music.

I walked over to the punch bowl when a loud bell rang through the house, more people from Hopeless no doubt. Austin appeared out of no where and put a hand on each shoulder shaking me slightly and telling me to let the new guests in; he'd clearly drank too much tonight already, and I am NOT going to be on babysitting duty, no way.

I found my way down to the front door, remembering the path as best I could from when I got here and opened it to see a very cold looking Alex. He looked amazing, he was wearing a white shirt which was tucked into black dress pants and a black leather belt and a light brown tie around his neck. ''Uhhh, hi.'' He mumbled, looking at the ground.

''You look....nice.'' I smiled.

''Suits really aren't my thing.'' He laughed, now looking up at me.

''Yeah me neither, wanna get out of here? Austin's drunk and I can't tolerate anyone else here.''

''For sure!" He mused, loosening his tie and taking it off.

We arrived at a beach, which probably wasn't the smarted idea seeing as the sea breeze would make us even colder, but hey, I was trying to be all romantic so I could tell him how I felt, and yes, I was very nervous. I handed him my spare jacket from the backseat as we pulled up, grabbing another one for myself.

We walked along the shore side by side, the street lights only just illuminating our faces. It was beautiful, the moon reflected the water's surface and the place was just so tranquil.

''I heard your song on the radio,'' I said zipping up the jacket further. ''It was really good, especially seeing as you didn't have long to put it all together and stuff.''

''Thanks Jay.'' He mumbled, dragging his shoes through the sand.

I smiled at the nickname that he'd given me from all that time ago. Okay Jack, tell him now, tell him how you feel.

''What else have you got planned?'' I asked. No Jack, just tell him.

''I really have no idea, Austin keeps me in the dark till the very last second y'know?''

''Yeah, he does that a lot with me too.'' I laughed. Tell him.

''So how've you been?'' He challenged, bringing up that one question that was going to crop up sooner or later.

''Okay I guess, had a lot on my mind.'' I said looking up into the sky to avoid his gaze as we carried on walking. My hand accidentally brushed against his, but instead of him retracting it or putting it in his pocket, he linked his fingers with mine and stopped walking.

I turned to face him, my hand still in his, confused. ''I, uhhh-'' I started.

''I'm freezing, can we go home or something?'' He shivered.

''Of course we can.'' I said as I turned around heading back to the car.

On the way back to mine we carried on with the small talk, about his music and how he was finding all of this, if it was what he expected. He seemed so happy whenever he talked about his music, it was as though he was on cloud nine. I still haven't told him, it's like trying to pluck courage out of thin air, dammit Jack.

We sat down on the couch and Alex insisted that we watch Home Alone, although I'm pretty sure he only chose it because of me, but I wasn't gonna argue. It was like the past month had never happened, he was cuddled up to my side, head rested on my shoulder with our fingers entangled. Now would be a perfect time to tell him, the credits began to roll and I knew he would get up or move away. ''Lex?''

''Yeah Jay?''

''I uhhh, ummm.'' I hummed. SPIT IT OUT.

''What is is?'' He asked, turning to face me, his hand still in mine.

Do it. ''I uhh, I just really missed you, like, a lot.'' I looked down, not wanting to see his reaction. He let go of my hand and I felt him move on the couch. Knew it. ''Sorry I-'' I was interrupted my his hand against my cheek and he kissed me tenderly for a few moments before pulling away.

He rested his forehead on mine and looking deep into my eyes. ''I missed you too.'' He smiled.

A sudden urge of happiness washed over me and I crashed my lips onto his, I know I didn't technically tell him I liked him, but he wouldn't have kissed me if he didn't feel the same, right? Because you don't just make out with everyone that you miss. I kept leaning into him so that he was now on his back on the couch with me led over him and trailing my hands all over his body. I kissed his neck making him harden underneath me. We took our time exploring each other's bodies, finding all those spots that made us go weak, every touch causing a spark, every kiss setting off fireworks, it just felt like something from a movie, something completely different to anything we've shared before, it was magical. Not lust filled like the time we shared on holiday after drinking too much, it was far more passionate and it meant something. Our naked bodies writhing together in a slow rhythm, not wanting to rush anything. I made sure I was gentle with him, touching him in the right places, pushing his hair back so I could gaze into his beautiful brown eyes and placing kisses on his forehead, nose, cheeks, chin and finally his lips...licking his lower lip to get further access. I kissed him with more intensity than I have before still pumping myself into him, I bit my bottom lip as I felt the warm feeling start to brew in the bottom of my stomach telling me that I was about to finish inside of him, as I did I let out a low groan which caused Alex to finish too. I flopped down on the bed next to him, his head now on my bare chest as I breathed heavily.

''Nice to have you back.'' Alex laughed.
