Sweet Goodbye
Fourteen
Jack and Alex were on the couch, curled together as a movie played on the television, muted, neither one of them paying attention to it. It had been three days since the social worker showed up on the doorstep, the pair getting inevitably closer through the days. Alex leaned up against Jack, his head resting on his shoulder. Jack's arm was around his shoulder, keeping him close.
"Lex?" Jack said, breaking the comfortable silence. Alex looked up into his eyes, smiling slightly.
"Yeah, Jacky?" He asked, making Jacks stomach do flips. He smiled, pressing a kiss to his forehead.
"Can we do something today?" Jack asked, scratching the back of his head. It was a sunday, and they had the house to themselves. His mom had to work until midnight.
"Like what?" Alex asked, sitting up and taking Jacks hand in his own. Jack shrugged, unsure of what even he wanted to do. Alex laughed. "How about this." Alex said, leaning into Jack, pressing his lips to his passionately. Jacks breath caught in his throat, has he returned the kiss. They hadn't kissed since that time in the loft above the auditorium, and the sensation was amazing. Alex's tongue swiped at Jacks lower lip, asking for entry. Jack obliged with no hesitation, their tongues swirling together. He brought his hand up to the back of Alex's head, deepening the kiss, Alex doing the same. He gently tugged at the tuft of hair at the back of Alex's neck, making him moan into the kiss. Jack slowly made his way to Alex's neck, nibbling an area just below his ear, making him writhe beneath his touch. Bringing his hands to Jacks face, he pulled him back to his lips pressing them against his firmly for a moment before pulling away, smiling. They were both flustered, and out of breath, but it was one of the best moments they had shared.
"I-I know we've only known each other for a couple weeks and all," Jack started, staring down at his hands, "but I think I love you, Alex." He finished, daring to look up at Alex. There was a smile spread across his face, reaching from ear to ear.
"I-I think I love you too, Jacky. Yeah, we may not know what love is, but this feels right." Alex said, grabbing Jacks wrists. Jack smiled at Alex, leaning into him, letting out a shaky breath he didn't even know he was holding.

Days had flown by quite quickly, not seeming like they'd slow down. The social worker would be around tomorrow to collect Alex, and they were trying their best to make the best of the remaining days they had left. They knew they couldn't stop the inevitable, so they tried to make the best out of a bad situation.
"What would like to do today, seems how it's our last day together?" Alex asked, placing a kiss on Jack's lips, tears welling in his eyes. It was already almost five, so there wasn’t much they could do. Jack sighed, wiping the tears from Alex's face letting his hand linger on his cheek for a moment. Alex leaned into the touch, closing his eyes.
"How about we just lay together, watching movies all day." Jack suggested, swallowing the lump in his throat. Alex nodded, a sad smile playing on his lips.
“I’d like that.” He said, getting up from the couch reaching out for Jack’s hand. He pulled him from the couch, dragging him upstairs to the bedroom. “What movies do you want to watch?” Alex asked, letting go of Jacks hand. He shrugged.
“You pick.” Jack said, flopping down onto the bed. He watched as Alex got down on a knee by the DVD cabinet, and pulled it open scanning the lot of DVD’s. He finally settled on one, pulling it out and slotting it in the player. He smiled back at Jack, standing up and grabbing the remote from the top of the television.
“What did you pick?” Jack asked curiously, as Alex climbed into the bed with him. Jack quickly glanced at the clock, it read 4:58.
“Finding Nemo.” Alex said, cheerily. Jack rolled his eyes, kissing Alex on the cheek as he pressed play. He watched Alex intently as he got lost in the movie. He chuckled quietly to himself when Alex would laugh at something funny that was said.
When the movie was over, there were tears in Alex’s eyes. Jack kissed them away.
“Come on, Lex. It’s just a cartoon.” He stated. Alex shook his head, taking a shaky breath.
“It’s not the movie I’m crying about.” He said, Jack realizing what it was that was making Alex so sad. He wrapped him in a hug, pulling him closer. Alex nuzzled his face into Jacks neck, taking in his scent. “I-I don’t want to leave you.” He finally said, his voice muffled. Jack could feel tears forming in his eyes, as he buried his face into Alex’s hair, kissing the top of his head lightly.
“I don’t want you to go either, Lex... But there isn’t much we can do about it. I wish there was, I really fucking do, but we’re just kids.” Jack said, as the tears finally began to roll down his cheeks. Alex didn’t say anything, but a sob ripped through his body. “Sh, sh. It will be okay. We can still keep in touch.” Jack inquired, trying to soothe Alex. Alex nodded his head, taking another shaky breath.
“You’re right.” He sniffled, wiping at his eyes. Jack smoothed his hair, kissing his lips gently before getting up. “Where are you going?” Alex asked, grabbing his hand. Jack laughed.
“To put in another movie, silly.” He said, Alex releasing his hand. He looked over at the clock. It read 6:25. He got lord of the rings from the cabinet, placing it in the dvd player, before climbing back into the bed with Alex. He curled into him, his leg going between Alex’s. He wrapped his arms around his waist, pulling him closer placing a kiss on his forehead, before turning back to the television.
Before the movie was even half over, Alex was asleep. Jack smiled as he snored loudly, a laugh escaping his lips. He was really going to miss this. He slipped his hand into Alex’s, curling his fingers around his. He could feel his eyelids begin to get heavier, so he happily accepted sleep, smiling as he drifted off into dreamland. Although Alex was leaving him tomorrow, it was moments like this he would never forget.
