A Recipe For Disaster

I walked towards the bunk area, in search for Jack, so I could hustle him into watching Batman with me. The closer I got to his bunk, I saw something that looked like fanfiction on his computer screen ?

"Hey Jack, whatcha doing ?" I asked, placing my head on his shoulder.

"Oh nothing, just the usual. Scrowlling thorugh twitter, making some fans days." He casually said.

I guess that wasn't fanfiction. Wow Alex, you've been writing too much, havent you.
"Take a break from that. I'm bored and I need to be entertained." I said, placing a pout onto my face that I knew he couldn't say no to.

He sighed, implying that my pout did the trick. "what do you have in mind ?"

I gave a big smile, "Batman and cuddle ?"

"Of course, Lex. Just give me a second to turn this off, yeah ?"

I giggled, "Oh, alright. I guess I can. I'll go get the movie set up. Get us some snacks when you're done. Don't take too long." I kissed him on the cheek, skipping off to the back loudge, and setting up with movie. I was pure happy and not just because I get to watch one of my favorite movies.

A couple minutes later. Jack came walking in, looking as cute as ever, with a bag of popcorn and two cans of soda.
"Ready ?" I asked.

He nodded, taking a seat next to me. It wasn't long before I wrapped my arm around his middle and pulled him close to me, his head fitting into the crook of my neck perfectly. Most people would find this weird, two guys cuddled up on the couch, watching a movie but we're just simply really close best friends, that's all we'll ever be.

"Lex, you okay ?" Jack asked, a little bit of concern laced into his voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine Jacky." I lied.
I wanted to be more than just best friends. Ever since we met in middle school, thats all I ever wanted.

"Okay." he said simply, turning his attention back to the movie.
--
The credits rolled and Jack was fast asleep in my arms. He really could never get through a full movie unless it was 'Home Alone.' I attempted to get up, gently trying to slip my arm out from under Jack, only to be pulled back.

"No, stay." he said in a sleepy voice.

"Jack, I gotta go to the bathroom." I laughed.

"No. You're staying with me." he said, his grip getting a bit tighter.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm gonna pee over everything you love."

He whined and let me go, making me smile at my success.

"You're gross." he said, burying his head in the couch.

"Yeah, well you love me." I said playfully, walking out of the back loudge. My heart broke a little bit after saying that because I know that no matter how much I mean what I just said, he will never feel the same way.
