He's Adorable as Hell
Young and In Love
Chapter 12
Jack’s POV
“There isn’t anything I WANT to do about it.” Alex said.
My eyes widened. “Wait, what?”
“You’ll get another chance.”
“As in, relationship?”
“It’s either relationship or nothing.” He said firmly, crossing his arm and leaning against the wall.
“I’ll go with relationship.” I grinned.
He smiled back and walked over to me, putting a finger under my chin to tilt my head up and kiss me softly. It was cut a little short by the door opening.
“Oh, holy fuck!” Cass said. Alex started laughing against my lips and I broke apart, blushing and trying to explain.
“It’s fine Jay, I told her everything.”
“Everything?”
“Since day one. She’s fine with it.”
“Well, I was just going to see if Alex was still here or if his heart got broken more and he ran off, but since he’s still here... Use protection.” She laughed before leaving.
“I’m not sleeping with you tonight.” Alex said.
“Alright.”
“And we’re still working on this.”
“What’s ‘this’?”
“The relationship status. You’re the only one here who’s ever been in a committed relationship, so you know what you’re doing. I don’t.”
“I think we can manage.” I grinned and pulled him to me again, slotting our lips together.
After a minute he pulled away. “Can we go back to my house?”
“Sure.” I agreed, grabbing my things.
I guess his stuff was in his car, but we walked together down the hall. Apparently he didn’t care who saw us together and slipped his hand into the back pocket of my jeans farthest away from him. I smiled to myself and did the same to him.
“Just so you know, I used Cass to make you jealous.” Alex said.
“I- Wait, what?”
He started laughing. “I do love her, just as a friend. Not the way I love you. It was SO weird kissing her today.”
“You used your best friend?”
“Yep. She figured it out, did you notice her saying something to me before I pulled away?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, I told her to kiss me, so she did and I whispered thanks and she said ‘Anything to get him back’. So yeah, she figured out my little plan, which worked.” He grinned.
“You are a devious child.”
“Ahem, I am nineteen, I am considered an adult.”
“Alex, I’m almost twenty-two and I still have the perverted mind of a seventh grader. You may not be the age of a child, but you’re a child. If I am, you are.”
“True.”
We reached our cars and got in, taking them separately to Alex’s house.
He waited for me to reach him before letting us in. We went straight to his room and lay down on our sides, facing each other. “So I really get another chance?” I asked, still in disbelief he had forgiven me.
“Just so long you don’t break my heart.”
“Deal.” I grinned and kissed him. It lasted a little longer than expected, but I was just fine with him. It stayed innocent though.
“I missed this, I missed you.” He whispered against my lips.
“Why am I second? You missed kissing me more?”
“No. Save the best for last.” He grinned and kissed me again. My insides jumped in joy at his words.
“Awww.” I couldn’t help but say it.
“Damn it, you made that so corny!” He complained, pulling away. “It was a perfect line until you awwed!”
I laughed. “Sorry babe.”
“I forgive you.”
The door opened and Tom walked in, looking at his phone. “Hey Lex, how was scho... What the hell is he doing here.” He growled as he looked up.
“We’re sort of together.” Alex replied.
“Sort of?”
“We’re together.”
Unexpectedly, Tom’s face lit up. “Yay!” He exclaimed, making Alex laugh. I was so confused.
“What? Why is that such a good thing?” I asked.
“Because, he was hoping we’d get together.” Alex replied.
“And?”
“And you did, so I’m fucking happy because now Alex will be fucking happy! And happy when fucking!” Tom said.
“Tom! Embarrassing! Out!” Alex said, pointing to the door.
“Fine, fine, I interrupted your make out session. Sorry.” He laughed as he walked away. Alex turned back to me.
“Sorry.”
“It’s fine.” I chuckled.
“Want something to eat?”
“Sure.”
We walked downstairs, Alex holding my hand. He pulled me to the kitchen and hopped up on the counter so he was facing me and hooked two fingers through the belt loops on my jeans to pull me between his legs and kiss me gently but firmly. He was actually taller than me here and I had to tilt my head up.
I kissed him back a little harder, my hands resting dangerously close to his butt. He didn’t stop me, so I figured it was fine. His hands moved to rest directly on my ass, in the back pockets of my jeans. My finger began to rub the strip of bare skin when his shirt rode up as he arched his back a little to get closer to me. Again, he didn’t tell me to stop, so I didn’t.
Alex’s tongue tasted the seam on my lips, but I knew he didn’t want me to open my mouth. I kept it closed and he continued to lick my lips, which tickled a little, but mostly felt fucking awesome.
“Oh my god, seriously? Not in the kitchen, guys! Come on!” I heard Tom groan behind us.
Alex burst out laughing against my lips, but I just moved away, blushing like crazy. “Dudes! We fucking EAT in here! My god, I don’t need you tongue fucking on our counter! Or any other fucking for that matter.” Tom exclaimed.
Alex just kept laughing and I blushed harder. “Geez Tom, it’s not that big of a deal. We were just kissing.” Alex said.
“It is a big deal! Didn’t the sex you guys had start with kissing? I don’t need Jack fucking you on the counter! For fucks sake, I make food there!”
I was quiet, fighting laughter just from the argument.
“Tom, I’m fucking positive you and your little girlfriends have done worse.” Alex said, crossing his arms.
“I’ve fucked girls, definitely, but NOT IN THE FUCKING KITCHEN!”
“Fine! We’ll get some food, like we planned to do until I had a better idea, and then go back upstairs and continue.”
“Okay, but if you end up fucking, WARN ME. I don’t need to hear it.” He said before grabbing a box of crackers and leaving.
I looked back at Alex. “He’s a bitch.” He said, rolling his eyes.
“I AM NOT A BITCH!” Tom shouted.
“FUCK OFF!” Alex yelled back before giving me a quick kiss and jumping off the counter. “What’dya want to eat?”
“What do you have?”
“Oh my god, do NOT be that person who doesn’t care what we eat when they secretly have an opinion. You’re my boyfriend, help yourself to anything. Search the cupboards and fridge and find something you want to eat. There isn’t anything you CAN’T eat.”
I laughed and opened the cupboards, moving things around until I found a box of Cheez-it’s. “Out of everything we have in this house, you chose Cheez-it’s?” Alex laughed.
“Fuck you, I basically live off of these things.”
He just laughed and put peanut butter on his toast.
We finished eating and instead of going upstairs, we went and sat on the couch, flipping the TV on. Alex laid his head on my lap and stretched out across the entire couch. He glanced up at me and smiled before sighing and closing his eyes.
I smiled back although he couldn’t see me and played with his hair. The pink had completely gone away now, back to it’s usual chocolate brown color. That perfect brown. He himself was just pure perfection.
I was so fucking glad I had become a teacher. Had I not, I wouldn’t have met Alex and if I hadn’t met Alex, I might have gone back to Holly and be miserable. I then remembered Matt.
Oh fuck, Matt. He was probably wondering where I was. I guess Alex felt me tense beneath him and sat up. “What’s the matter babe?”
“I need to call Matt and tell him where I am.”
Alex laughed. “You sound like a teenager flipping out over her parents not knowing she was with her boyfriend.”
“Since when was I the girl in this relationship?”
“Since I fucked you. Guys fuck girls, girls don’t fuck guys. They GET fucked BY guys.”
I shrugged. It was reasonable. I got out my phone and called Matt. He answered on the first ring. “Goddammit Jack, where the fuck are you? I was ready to call the police!” He exclaimed.
“I’m with Alex.”
“What?”
“We’re together.”
“FUUUUUUUCK YESSSS!” He yelled and Alex started laughing and took the phone from me.
~~~
Alex's POV
“Hey Matt.”
“Hey Lex, so you got Jay?”
“Sure did. Played the jealously card by pretending to date my best girl friend.”
“Niiice.”
“Right? Anyway, he figured out he was in love with me and now he’s my boyfriend.”
“Good plan.”
“Thanks. I’ll talk to you later, Jack’s spending the night. Bye.” I ended the call and gave Jack his phone back.
We just sat on the couch with my head in his lap and talked until we went up to bed. Jack slept in my bed, like usual, only we changed our position slightly. Tonight, I guess he decided he would spoon me whether I liked it or not. And I liked it, so... He’s a genius.
I woke up in the middle of the night and could have sworn I saw something outside of the window. I got a little bit frightened and nuzzled myself farther into Jack’s front, linking our fingers together.
“Lex, you okay?” He mumbled into my shoulder.
“I-Um, yeah, I just thought I saw something outside my window. Go back to sleep.”
“It’s fine babe, nothing will hurt you.”
I just hummed in response and couldn’t sleep no matter how hard I tried. I just kept staring at the window. I saw the same sort of thing-I couldn’t even see what it looked like- an hour after the first sighting. It was a little more clear this time and I jumped at the flash of it. I decided to wake Jack up.
“Jack.” I whispered. “Jay, wake up.” I nudged his shoulder. He mumbled something incoherent and I nudged him a little harder. “Jay, wake up, come on babe.”
“MhgrWhat time is it.” He grumbled.
“I have no clue, but I saw something out the window again, clearer this time.”
“Lexi, it fucking three in the morning! The sun will be up soon, we’ll check then.”
I sighed and scooted farther into him while his arm tightened around my middle and he kissed my neck lovingly. “Love you, now go back to sleep.” He murmured.
I nodded and closed my eyes, successfully falling asleep.
Jack woke me up in a few hours. “Lexi, get up babe.”
“Check the window.” I mumbled.
I could almost feel him roll his eyes, but he got up and checked. “There’s nothing here.”
“Yes there is, I swear to god I saw it. Twice.”
“You were tired, you probably imagined it.”
“If I see it again when we go to bed tonight, you’re coming over and fucking making sure there isn’t anything there.”
He chuckled and grabbed my hand, pulling me from the bed. “Dammit, it’s raining!” I complained.
“Do you not like rain?”
“No, I do, I’m just not ready for rain!”
“Well, throw on a long sleeved shirt and pants.”
I groaned and tossed on a sweatshirt and skinnies, feeling lazy about my hair and finger brushing it. Jack laughed at me and stole my clothes. Whatever, we were dating. I didn’t care.
We went downstairs and like any other day, I didn’t actually EAT, I just had a cup of coffee. Jack ate some toast. After breakfast, we got all our things and drove to school in our cars.
I met him in his classroom and instead of sitting in my chair, I stretched across the desk on my stomach with my knees bent and legs crossed, holding Jack’s hand in mine. This wasn’t so much of a flirtatious position as comfortable.
We talked for a while before the bell rang and I went to my seat laughing at Jack’s perverted joke. Cass came in and stood over me.
“So...” She smirked.
“So?”
“How’s it going, babe?”
I glanced at Jack. “Fucking amazing.”
“Did you use protection?”
“We didn’t have sex, Cass.”
“Really?”
“Nope, no sex last night.”
“Huh.” She said, shrugging and going to her seat.
Jack started the lesson and seemed even happier than usual today. People noticed. Only Cass and I knew why though. After he finished teaching, a group of people went up to his desk.
“Barakat, what’s the deal? Why’re you so happy?” Francesci asked.
“I’m in love.” Jack said bluntly.
“With who?”
“Ahem, with whom, and I’m not sure if I’m allowed to tell you.” He glanced at me, as though asking permission.
I figured fuck it, it’s my last year here. Who cares if I’m dating the teacher? “Come on Jay, tell us.” I said.
“Alright, I’m in love with Alex.” Jack smiled.
“Alex who?”
“You know exactly which Alex.”
They all turned and looked at me. “Gaskarth?”
“No shit.” Jack laughed. “Yes, Gaskarth.”
“You’re kidding.”
“No sir, I am not.”
I grinned. “I love him too.”
The bell rang and we all filed out. The minute I was out of sight from Jack’s room, Dawson shoved me into a locker. “Fag! You’re dating a TEACHER?”
I rubbed my shoulder. “Yeah, actually, I am.”
“And Barakat of all people?”
“Yeah.”
“Fag!” He exclaimed again and sent his fist into my stomach. I gasped at the impact, holding my torso as he walked away. I sucked it up and went to my next class, sitting next to Cass.
“You’re later than usual, what’s the deal?”
“Nothing. Just a crowded hallway.” I lied. She shrugged and kept doing her work.
~~~
I went to meet Jack after class. “Hey babe.” I greeted. He looked up.
“Hey sexy.” He grinned and I sat down. “I can’t believe you let me tell them.”
“It’s my last year here. I don’t give a shit what they think of me.”
He smiled and kissed me softly and quickly. “Sorry baby, but I’ve got a shitload of papers to grade, so can I call you later?”
“Sure. I’ll be waiting.” I grinned and winked, then gave him a long kiss before walking out to my car. I was looking at my phone when someone tripped me. I stumbled into a locker again and turned to look at the culprit. It was Merrick.
I was about to say some snarky comment, but being a muscle-man, he picked my up by my shirt collar and slammed me against the wall before letting me drop to the ground. “Fag. Disgusting.” He growled before kicking my ribs and walking away.
I laid on the ground and coughed a few times before picking myself up and tripping my way into my car. I got in and started driving home. I was at a stop sign waiting for another car to go when I was jolted forward. I looked behind me and saw Josh Franceshi in his car. Bitch rear ended me!
I got out and stormed over to his car. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing? You just rear ended me!” I yelled, gesturing towards my destroyed bumper.
“Isn’t that what fags get?”
Fire burned inside of me. “You really didn’t think this through, because YOU’RE the one who rear ended ME, so YOU have to pay for the damage. Thanks for the new bumper, Josh.” I snapped before getting back in my car and driving all the way home, where I stomped up to my room and threw the door open, slamming it behind me. Tom came in a few minutes later.
“What’s the deal, little bro?”
“Jack and I told the English class that we were in love and now everyone’s after me! I’ve gotten mildly beaten up at school twice today and a dick rear ended me on the way home!” I exclaimed.
“Oh, shit! That fucking sucks! I’m sorry, Alex. You don’t need to be beaten up.”
“Can you just get out for a while? I need some time alone.” I sighed and fell on my bed, closing my eyes. I heard the door open and close again.
The words rang through my head a billion times. Fag, fag, fag, fag, fag, fag! I lost control of myself and ran to the bathroom and before I could think about what I was doing, I had a razor gliding easily across my thigh.

“Jack and I told the English class that we were in love and now everyone’s after me! I’ve gotten mildly beaten up at school twice today and a dick rear ended me on the way home!” I exclaimed.
“Oh, shit! That fucking sucks! I’m sorry, Alex. You don’t need to be beaten up.”
“Can you just get out for a while? I need some time alone.” I sighed and fell on my bed, closing my eyes. I heard the door open and close again.
The words rang through my head a billion times. Fag, fag, fag, fag, fag, fag! I lost control of myself and ran to the bathroom and before I could think about what I was doing, I had a razor gliding easily across my thigh.
