I closed the front door behind me and watched Alex walk down the hall and turn into the living room. I smiled to myself and followed him into the room that I had asked Cassadee to help me set up. She left the dance about ten minutes before Alex and I so that she could start to light all the candles that I set out before I picked up Alex for the dance.
I was just glad my dad decided to go out drinking with his friends tonight. That meant that from now until tomorrow afternoon, Alex and I had the whole house to ourselves.
Rian told us that 'something came up' and so we couldn't all go to a restaurant tonight as a group. That was also all part of the plan. I had made spaghetti for dinner for Alex and I. Yeah, that's right. I put a lot of thought into tonight. I wanted everything to be just right and I wanted Alex to feel special.
And I could tell from the look on his face as he looked around the room that it was working. His eyes were wide and he had a wide smile glued to his face. After he was able to take it all in, he looked at me. "Y-You did this all for me?" His smile grew, if that was even possible.
I nodded. "Yeah. Every single bit of it… Of course, I had some help…" I looked down at my shoes and then back at Alex.
He crossed his arms over his chest. "You sly dog. You had the whole night planned out didn't you? Cassadee having to leave early for 'band practice' and some family stuff coming up so Rian and Zack couldn't go to a restaurant with us… You planned it all."
I smiled at him innocently and made my way over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "I just wanted to make you happy. I wanted you to feel special."
He looked up at me and wrapped his arms around my neck and began to play with my hair. "I'm always happy as long as I'm with you."
I chuckled at the cheesy line and pecked a kiss on his nose. And then his cheek. And then his lips. When I started to pull away from the quick kiss on his lips, he put one of his hands behind my head and brought me back down to him of ran other kiss. A longer, more passionate kiss. I tightened my grip on him and pulled him closer as I deepened the kiss and licked his bottom lip. He didn't hesitate to grant me access. We explored each other mouths and our tongues battled for dominance.
I put one of my hands on Alex's hip and began running the other one up and down his side.
He responded by tightening his grip on my hair.
I let out a quiet whimper and rested my other hand on Alex's other hip and pulled him closer to me. Before Alex could do anything else, I broke the kiss and let him go and began walking to the kitchen.
"Jaaack…" I heard him whine from behind me as he followed.
I smirked to myself and turned on the stove to warm up the sauce. While that warmed up, I took the lid off of the noodles and began dishing them out onto two plates. I turned to see Alex with his arms folded across his chest.
I raised an eyebrow and tried to fight a smile. "What's the matter?"
He pointed to his crotch where, I could see, was a growing bulge.
I nodded. "That's nice. Now, you should go change into some pi's so you don't get any sauce on your fancy clothes. You know where my room is."
He dropped his hands and rolled his eyes as he turned on his heel and ran downstairs to my room.
I chuckled to myself as I dished out some sauce and meatballs onto each serving of noodles. I placed the two plates on the dining room table and put a fork on each plate. I turned to see Alex standing there, still not looking very happy with me. "Dinner is served," I told him, my face finally breaking into a smile, "I'll be right back. I don't want any sauce on my fancy clothes either. You can go ahead and eat, though."
I was about to pass by him when I stopped. "Wait a minute…" I took a step back and looked at the shirt he was wearing. "Hey! That's my favorite Blink-182 shirt!"
A smile formed on his face and he crossed his arms again.
Crap. Teasing him was probably not the best idea.
I grabbed his wrist and took him downstairs to my room. I began digging through my dresser and tossed him an old plain black t-shirt. "Change into that," I told him.
I grabbed some pi's for myself and turned to look at Alex, who was just sitting on the bed, not doing what he was told. "I mean it," I warned him.
I quickly stripped down to my boxers and changed into my pi's. I looked over at him again and he seemed pleased at what he saw.
"Y-You wanna change again?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
I crossed my arms when I noticed he still hadn't changed out of my favorite shirt. "Nope."
His smiled faded and he sighed. "What if I change my shirt?"
I half-smiled. "Maybe."
I watched as he changed his shirt, trying not to pay attention to the scars that I saw painted his hips. I bit my lip as he finished changing and stood up. "You'r turn," he said, smiling.
I smiled back. "Actually, I think I'll go eat." I turned on my heel and headed back upstairs to eat my dinner before it got cold. I chuckled as I heard Alex groan in frustration and follow me upstairs.

We finished eating about an hour ago and we were now watching Peter Pan. I wasn't a huge fan of the movie, but it was Alex's favorite, and tonight was his night. We were cuddled up on the couch under the same blanket. His head was on my chest and I had my arms wrapped around him securely.
I looked down at him, only to find that he was giving me another one of those suggestive glances that he's been giving me all night. I leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on the nose and continued watching the movie until I fell asleep.

Notes

Hehe. Jack is such a tease.
