Long Live Us

*Jack pov*

Friday had rolled around, everyone thankful that the weekend was fast approaching. Jack and Alex were tangled up together on the sofa in the younger boy’s living room, some random movie on the TV. Jack was curled up into Alex’s chest, holding onto the strong arms currently wrapped over his body with the elder boy’s head resting on his own. Letting his wind wander back to the previous day, Jack smiled, a ridiculous amount of happiness surging through his body. A few years ago, he didn’t even believe in love, and thought people that did were stupid and naive. Now, however, not only did he believe in love, he felt like he was in it. He was glad that he had finally grown the balls to tell Alex, happy that the brunette now knew, and even happier that his love wasn’t unrequited. The vibration of his phone against his bum snapped him out of his day dream, frowning because he was enjoying himself.
“Get that please.” He mumbled to Alex, who happily complied and reached into the back pocket of Jack’s jeans to remove the phone. The brunette then positioned his arms in a way so that both boys could see the phone and Jack didn’t have to move. Unlocking the phone revealed the text that had been sent, Alex clicking on it.
From: Zack
Hey! My mate Kyle (blonde one, year above?) is having his 18th party tomorrow and wants us to play. Ri’s in, and i know you’re with Alex. Both in?
They both chuckled after reading it, before sitting up slightly to discuss it. Jack was all up for it, eager to share his love and passion for the band with an actual audience. Alex, as he often did, seemed a little more reluctant, the nervous light flickering in his eyes that appeared whenever performing became a topic of conversation. Jack knew not to push it, and that the brunette would decide by himself and any input wouldn’t help the cause. It took a minute, but he did nod and smiled, shrugging slightly before looking up at Jack.
“Why not? Let’s do it.” He said firmly, causing smiles to spread across both their lips.
“I’m so proud of you.” Jack murmured, pressing a soft kiss to his boyfriend’s nose. “This will be All Time Low’s first actual performance. This is gonna be rad!” He exclaimed, grinning at Alex, who was smiling too.
“I’ll tell him we’re in then?” Alex confirmed, receiving a quick and definite nod from Jack, before the brunette quickly tapped in the reply and slipped the phone back into Jack’s pocket. The taller boy then sat up and bounced up and down slightly, his whole body tingling with excitement. He felt like his dream was slowly becoming true, step by step the four boys were making it closer and closer to being a real band. Yes, it was early days, but Jack wanted this so much that he wasn’t about to let any opportunity slip by.
“Shit, what songs are we gonna perform?” Alex then asked, looking at Jack doubtfully, worry painted across his face. The younger boy chuckled at how cute his boyfriend was when he was worried, and motioned for him to come and sit on his lap, which he quickly did.
“We can just do the stuff we’ve rehearsed. Like, we don’t have to do an original. Some Blink, Green Day, New Found Glory. Whatever. Kyle’s into all that stuff so it’ll be fine to him.” Jack reassured the older boy, moving his head slightly back and forth so the brunette locks tickled his nose slightly. Alex hmm’d in agreement and nodded, snuggling further into Jack’s chest, leaning his head into him. As they sat there together, excitement built up in them, most worries forgotten, as the contemplated and dreamed about what the future held for them. And maybe, the future was starting tomorrow.

Saturday arrived, and the band was carrying all their kit into Kyle’s living room where a space had been left for them to act as a stage. They’d just about managed to get Rian’s drum set into the house in one piece, the guitars proving to be a much easier task – especially with everyone stressing over their precious instruments which meant more to them than their lives did. Kyle had also left one of the spare rooms empty for them, telling them it was their room for the night, to leave their stuff there once they had finished. With everything just about set up, the four band members were sitting on the floor, in a loose circle, unsure of what to do now.
“What time are we playing again?” Rian asked, answered by Kyle who then entered the room.
“I was thinking nine ‘till nine thirty, if that’s okay with you guys?” The blonde boy was stressing, it was evident in his eyes, and he put down the crate of beers he had been carrying just outside the patio door. Jack kinda felt bad, knowing that this party was a big deal for the boy – him being one of the last to turn eighteen and having a lot to live up too.
“Sounds good to me.” Zack said, earning nods from the rest of them. “Are you sure we can’t help?” Kyle pondered for a minute, before saying they could continue taking the drink into the garden and he would finish up some of the cleaning he hadn’t finished. It didn’t take long, considering Zack’s strength made up for Jack and Alex’s lack of, and by the time six rolled around everything was set up and ready.
Kyle had disappeared upstairs to shower and get ready, leaving the other four boys to get themselves brushed up before people started to filter in. Zack slipped into a vest and a pair of his usual baseball shorts, Rian almost mirroring the image. Jack and Alex mirrored each other as well, both pulling on their tightest skinny jeans and a shirt. The taller boy would be lying if he said that the way the denim was clinging to Alex wasn’t turning him on, but he figured he would be better off saving his hormone fuelled frustration for later.

By eight o’clock, there was a steady stream of people entering the house, Kyle greeting them all with a smile, a hug and a drink. Jack and Alex were standing together by where the band was set up, almost like they were guarding their equipment. The younger of the two was happily sipping at a beer, knowing he could handle his drink and that it wouldn’t be a worry. Alex, however, had a glass of water clutched in his hands, and as much as Jack tried to get him to relax, it certainly wasn’t going to happen until after they performed. The pair greeted everyone who made eye contact with them – Jack knowing and recognising a very select few of them, often sharing a bro hug or what not, leaving the brunette standing awkwardly and shyly trying to act as if he was invisible.
“Jack, Alex!” Kyle then called them, coming up to them and wrapping an arm around the taller boy’s shoulder, indicating that he was slightly tipsy – or at least tipsy enough to forget that he didn’t know the two well enough to be crossing personal boundaries.
“Ready to play?”
“Wow it’s nine already? Let’s do this.” Jack replied, nodding and grinning at the blonde, who gave them a thumbs up and mumbled something about getting everything ready before he was dragged away by one of his friends. Chuckling, Jack grabbed Alex’s hand and pulled him through the gathered crowd to their designated room, where Rian and Zack were picking up the last bits and pieces needed for the performance.
“Ready boys?” Rian asked, smiling widely at them, tapping Jack’s shoulder with his drum sticks.
“I was born ready drummer boy!” the taller boy replied with a wink, leaving the two laughing before Rian and Zack left to get ready. Jack turned to Alex, the brunettes usual nerves showing in the way his hands were shaking slightly and his head was down. Sighing, the younger boy once again wished that he could help, truly help, and ensure that his boyfriend could do anything and everything without the chemicals clouding his brain and making his shake like a leaf. Slowly, like normal, Jack wrapped his arms around the brunettes petite and shaking shoulders, allowing the two too mould together. It didn’t take long for Alex to uncurl his arms and return the hug, his breathing slowing as he calmed down.
“Ready?” Jack asked softly after a few moments, the reply a small nod, before a quick kiss was shared and the two left the room and headed over to where Rian and Zack had taken their places on their temporary stage. Jack bounced up to his guitar and eagerly took it into his arms, checking to see that Alex was doing the same before allowing himself to truly relax.
“Right guys, listen up!” Kyle announced, jumping onto the stage and standing where Alex soon would be. “These four guys are super awesome and a band, and they’re gonna perform. So be nice and spread some love!”
The four boys laughed as Kyle grinned at them before he joined the crowd once again, immediately wrapping his arm around a girl’s waist. Jack chuckled as he watched the blonde, before shooting a smile at Alex as the elder took a step up to the microphone.
“Hey guys! Everyone having a good time?” his greeting was met by a cheer, which caused a grin to spread across his lightly blushing cheeks. “Goooood. Shoutout to our man Kyle for letting us perform and a happy birthday!” Another cheer, and everyone lifted the cups or bottles that they had in their hands and chanted the birthday boy’s name, until Kyle shut them up – his own face now extremely red.
“Right, well, we’re gonna start with All The Small Things. We’re All Time Low, enjoy!”

Half an hour or so later and the band were jumping off the stage, large grins gracing their features as they let the clapping and cheering die down. Jack was relishing in the buzz flowing around his blood, liking the way his skin tingled with the music and how everything felt so right when they were performing. After receiving multiple compliments and pats on the back, the band made the journey back to “their” room, setting all the instruments down in the corner.
“Holy shit that was awesome!” Rian exclaimed, each of them hi-fiving and eagerly agreeing. Jack was rendered speechless at the feeling that still had control over his mind and body, just letting the brightness in his eyes and grin on his face talk the million words that he couldn’t at the moment. There was nothing else in the world he wanted more than to have more of this feeling. It was like a drug, and he was hooked already – and being able to share it with his three best friends just added to the perfection of it all.

Two further hours later, and it was safe to say that Jack had quite a bit to drink. Alex had had even more, and the only thing clouding the younger boys mind was how good his boyfriend’s ass looked in those jeans and how much he wanted to just touch him. So, with some difficultly, he staggered over to where the brunette was trying to pour himself another drink.
“Jaaaaay!” Alex greeted, turning around and smiling at the taller boy. Jack didn’t reply, just grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the room, checking nobody else had come in, before getting to work. He slammed the brunette against the door and slid the lock closed, slotting their lips roughly together and finally getting some of the release he needed. Alex also seemed to be more than content with this arrangement, grabbing the sides of Jack’s shirt and pulling him closer, leaving both boys breathless at the sensation of their chests pressed together.
It didn’t take long for their clothes to be discarded, bare bodies pressing together as the lay on the bed. Jack remained hovering over Alex, running his hands down the side of his torso, gently tickling the soft skin under his fingertips, enjoying the way it made the shorter boy writhe beneath him. After detaching their lips, Jack made his way down the body, nipping and licking all the spots he knew would turn Alex on even more. The brunette let out a long moan when Jack reached his boxers, breathing out over his fabric covered length, smirking at the reaction.
"Jaaaayyyyy d-do somethingggg." Alex slurred, his voice a moan as he watched his boyfriend.
"Yes sir." The taller boy responded, enjoying the confidence alcohol gave him as he pulled down the brunettes boxers using his teeth. Alex whined as he did so, lifting his hips up in a silent plea to hurry up.
Soon both boys were naked, their flushed faces together and their chests rising and falling in sync. Jack once again detached his lips from the brunette's and made his way down the elder's body, stopping at his boner. The taller boy grinned, looking up at Alex through his eye lashes, as he decided not to waste any time teasing him and took him into his mouth. Alex gasped and thrust his hips up, Jack now more accustomed to this process than the first time, enjoying the sensation of the tip hitting the back of his throat. Bobbing his head, the taller boy relished in the noises being elicited from Alex's mouth, his lips forming perfect shapes as he scrunched his eyes up. With a smirk, Jack removed his mouth, running his tongue up and down the length, swirling at the tip, and repeating the motion. He grabbed his own junk and sloppily began jerking himself off, maintaining eye contact with the brunette once his eyes were re-opened. It didn't take long before Alex was demanding more again, roughly lifting Jack's head up by his hair and guiding his mouth back to his dick and pushing his head down, successfully making the boy gag. Moans filled the locked room, each boy lost in their bliss land, enjoying the feeling of each other as the inevitable warmth in their stomach deepened.
"J-Jaack." Alex moaned first, arching his back and panting as he released into the younger boys mouth, who eagerly lapped the cum up, before releasing himself. Once they came down from their highs, Jack flopped down next to Alex, their breathing still raspy and heart rate still high.
"You're getting very good at that." Alex commented when he had control over his breathing, turning slightly to smirk at Jack.
"Good." He replied with a wink, before pushing his lips into the brunettes flushed cheeks and rearranging his hair.
"Fag." Was Alex's comment once Jack had thoroughly sifted through his hair, and checking it in the mirror next to the bed. Jack flipped him off, before jumping on the shorter boy and attacking his sides with tickles, leaving him writhing beneath him and begging for him to stop. It was crazy how the pair could go from being sex freaks, to an intimate couple, to a tickle fight in a matter of minutes, but neither of them would change it for the world. They were perfect just how they were, and that's how they wanted to stay.
