Alex had to admit that waking up every morning for the past few weeks and seeing Martin walk around in nothing but either his boxers or a towel was strange to get use to, but he was making Zack better so Alex could handle it. For now. Alex was sitting on the small deck at the back of his house humming a song to himself while he strummed some notes on his guitar, his project for college was to come up with his own song that had a strong meaning behind it. Of course the only things Alex could think to write about was either his brother or Jack, a few hours later Jack woke up and came looking for Alex and smiled when he saw him singing to himself. It was something Jack loved to see and hated to disturb so he stood quietly in the doorway to the back deck and listened to his boyfriend singing quietly before he cleared his throat and cause Alex to let out a small yelp of surprise.
"Jack!" He pouted setting the guitar aside as Jack chuckled sitting on his lap resting his head on Alex's and they sat watching the ocean in front of them.
"How have you been?" Jack suddenly asked and Alex frowned before looking at the boy in his lap.
"I mean we've been so focused on Zack these past weeks and I haven't once asked if you are okay" Jack explained while Alex smiled slightly before leaning up and pressed his lips softly to Jack's and then he felt Jack kissing him back.
"Of course I'm fine Jacky, Zack is slowly getting better, Martin isn't bad to live with and your still here" Alex grinned looking at his boyfriend.
"Martin is good for Zack" Jack nodded looking out across their balcony towards the beach infront of them.
"Yeah, I thank God that I phoned him when I did, any later and I think Zack wouldn't be here" He said sadly looking at Jack's face before running a hand through his hair.
"Hey Zack is here to stay" Jack said firmly making Alex look into his eyes and he nodded knowing it was the truth.
"So what were you playing?" Jack asked interested in Alex's music.
"Just working for my project" Alex said and Jack smiled.
"Which iss?"
"I have to write a song with a strong meaning behind it but the only thing I can write about is my brother or you" Alex said his cheeks flushing as Jack broke into a massive grin, that was why he didn't want to tell him about it.
"Aww Lex!" Jack gushed kissing his warm cheek as Alex just pushed him away laughing.
"Can I hear a part of it!" Jack jumped up handing the guitar to Alex not giving him a chance to protest.
"Guess so" Alex joked strumming a few notes to remind himself how his song started.
"Break another mirror to keep away the stares of another guilty reflex, a reflection left in tears and all of my obsessing, tell me what was it worth? Guess I should have learned my lesson, I didn't mean to make you hurt didn't mean to make you hurt, hurt, hurt.
What do you say when your heart's not in it, your heart's not in it? What do you do when you just don't get it, you just don't get it? Where do you go when you reach your limit, you reach your limit? Cause all I know, all I know is you are my only one, you are my only one. You are my only one, that's all I know, you're all I knooow" Alex sang as he strummed the last note on his guitar and watched as a tear rolled slowly down Jack's cheek as he smiled at him.
"Was that about me?" He asked as Alex set aside his guitar and nodded before kissing Jack tasting his tears on his lips, Alex pulled away and felt the tears start in his own eyes.
"I didn't want you to cry Jacky" He whispered rubbing the boys tears away and Jack just smiled but Alex could tell it was a happy smile.
"I can't wait to hear it once its finished" Jack whispered back before there a was cough and the two boys jumped apart and looked at the door to find Zack grinning at them.
"Zack! Hi! You out of bed" Jack said wrapping his still skinny friend into a hug and Zack nodded.
"Yeah I want to start living again and I can't be upset over Rian forever, especially when I have Martin now. Speaking of Martin he's taking me out surfing today so you'll have the house alone all afternoon" Zack said sending Alex a wink before he walked back into the living room and sat next to Martin, Alex and Jack watched from the deck as Martin wrapped an arm around Zack and brought him closer to him. The four boys sat in the living room eating pop tarts and drinking orange juice while America's Next Top Model was playing on TV.
"Do yous realise how gay this looks?" Martin asked looking around the other boys and they all burst into laughter.
"Well we are gay so..." Alex joked before resting agaisnt Jack and he felt him wrap and arm around his waist.

A few hours later Alex was being woke up to Jack kissing his neck lightly, he opened his heavy eyes and looked at Jack.
"What are you doing?" Alex muttered his voice still full of sleep as Jack went to his jaw and then kissed his lips lightly.
"Where are Zack and Martin?" Alex breathed and Jack pulled back to answer him.
"They left 30 minutes ago and won't be back for a few hours at least" Jack said smirking and Alex swallowed before saying
"Well we have plenty of time" Then their lips were attatched quickly and passionately this time, their tongues fighting against each other and hands roaming everywhere.
"Bedroom" Alex breathed out of breath and Jack nodded quickly picking him up as Alex wrapped his legs around Jack's waist and he took them to their bedroom blindly as they kissed the whole way. Jack lay Alex down on the bed and crawled up to him kissing his way up to his lips, Alex tugged at Jack's white t-shirt.
"Off" He demanded and Jack threw it over his head and went back to kissing Alex's neck leaving a mark. He could hear Alex moaning and that sound alone was turning him on, it was to long since they had done anything like this.
"Jack" Alex whined and Jack just smirked then it faded when he heard Alex's next words.
"I want you"
They may have been together for a while but they hadn't had proper sex yet as Alex was never ready.
"Are you sure? I can wait baby" Jack said kissing his chest but Alex shook his head and then Jack planted kisses from his chest down to his waistband of his sweats and looked back up at him through his eyeslashes.
"Please Jack! Just fucking do it!" He shouted and Jack chuckled he didn't have to be told twice.
