I'll See You In My Dreams
Chapter 6
(Alex's POV.)
Today was a long day. Jack hadn't been in school for about a week now and I was getting worried about the boy. I knew he was fine, but I guess you could just say I missed the younger.
I started to find myself thinking about the boy way too often and I wasn't sure how healthy it was. I was just fascinated by how independent he was and how intelligent, and how he never gave up.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when the bell rang and everyone was waving bye to me, especially the girls, giggling when I waved back, they all excited the room to carry on with whatever teenagers do after school.
I jumped slightly when my phone rang and it was a number that I didn't recognize.
"Hello?" I answered into my phone, scratching my beard loudly.
"Mr. Gaskarth, yes. Jack's mom." A lady said and I smiled.
"Yes ma'am, what's going on? How's Jack?" I asked a little too quickly and she laughed.
"He's great! He's a little banged up but everything is great. He's sleeping right now if you wanna come see him." She said sweetly.
"Yes, thank you! I'll be there after a staff meeting."
She agreed and I hung up with a smile. Let's get this meeting over with so I could see Jack.

I gave the receptionist my signature smile and she swooned. I may be gay, but I can make the ladies go crazy.
"Right down the hall to your left. Room 182" She said way too nicely.
"Thanks" I said with a smile and began my journey to his room, loosening my purple bow tie.
I knocked softly on the door and sure enough he was curled up around the covers, thankfully not hooked to anything, and sleeping soundly. Joycee was reading a magazine and when she looked up and saw me she smiled.
"Oh good, you're here." She said quietly with a smile.
"Yes ma'am." I laughed and she stood up and hugged me.
"Can you stay in here? I need to go home for a bit." She said sounding desperate.
"Sure, no problem."
She gave me a smile and walked out of the room, leaving me sitting by Jacks bed reading the same magazine his mom was reading.
Jack soon squirmed around the bed and yawned.
"M-om?" He croaked out, still sounding tired.
I smiled and grabbed his hand and placed it on my cheek, having him feel my beard. His face lit up and he launched for me, hugging me tightly.
"Missed you!" He said softly and I smiled, rubbing my hands up and down his back softly.
"I missed you too, Jack. Class is boring without my buddy." I said, making him laugh.
"I'm your student though?" He said confused.
"I don't see you as a student." I said carefully.
"What do you see me as, seeing I can't see you?" He asked jokingly.
Should I say how I really feel deep inside? No? Yeah, too soon.
"A really good friend." I said and he hummed, after breathing in my scent.
"What have I missed?" He asked.
"Well, you missed a few tests, and the football game mainly." I said, playing with his hair.
"I don't care for the game." He grumbled and I laughed.
"Oh, I have some good news." I told him and his ears practically perked up like a dog.
"Jordan got expelled." I said, squeezing him tighter.
"That's great!" He said, smiling.
"Oh, and Alex?" He says unsurely
"Yeah?"
"Sit up." He said, sitting up also having our knees touch.
"I want to know how you look." He said shyly and I nodded, humming.
Jack ran his fingers through my soft but messy hair.
"What color is your hair?" He asks, still tugging at my hair.
"Dark brown, almost black sometimes. Depends on how often I dye it." I said and he nodded.
When his fingers reached my eyes, I closed them, his thumbs rubbed my eyelids.
"What about your eyes?" He whispers.
"Same, brown."
His hands trailed down my cheeks and smiled at my scratchy beard. His thumbs ran over my lips and when he blushed, I blushed.
His hands roamed my sides and chest, making their way down my legs.
"You're tall aren't you?" He said, smiling even more.
"Yeah, about 6 feet."
"I like that." He said, laughing and played with my fingers.
"Don't freak, Alex, but damn." Jack said laughing.
"What?"
"You're hot." Jack said, blushing. "But that's inapropriate, huh." He added.
"Technically, yes. But if you look on the bright side, I'm only 4 years older than you." I said trying to make him smile.
"How did you manage to get a teaching job at 21?!" He shouted.
"I have my ways." I said laughing.
Jack bent his head forward, thinking about something for a bit.
"Can I?" He asked rubbing his thumb over my bottom lip once again.
I didn't even answer, just pressed my lips softly to his, pulling back almost immediately.
"I'll see you later, Jack." I said lowly and standing up off the bed and walking out of the room.

(Jack's POV)
I stared blankly after Alex pulled away and left.
"I just kissed my teacher." I whispered and touched my lips, still feeling them tingle.
"Alex, come back!" I shouted, and I heard footsteps running back into the room
I must have had tears in my eyes cause I felt my teachers rough thumbs wiping my face. He cupped both of my cheeks with his hands and pulled me closer to him, kissing both of my cheeks, my forehead, nose, then my lips again, lingering there longer.
"Is that what you wanted?" He asks lowly and I just slightly nodded.
I heard him breathe out a laugh then press his lips to mine once more.
Another tear ran down my face and I sniffled causing Alex to whine.
"What's the matter?" He asks soothingly.
"You... You were my first kiss, and, and.... I wasn't able to see you." I whispered and he sighed, placing my hand on his cheek and my fingers of the other hand on his lips, as he pushed our lips together again. I felt his cheeks heat up, and his lips curl into a smile which caused me to smile.
"You don't have to see me to know how happy you've been making me, Jack." He whispered against my lips.
I broke out in a smile and launched myself into him again, burying my face into his neck.
"Thank you." I whispered and he just responded by pressing his lips to my forehead and tightening his grip around me.
