Holding On To Keep This Strong

Start Singing

"Alright guys, settle down!" Alex scolded his ninth period class. "I know this is the last period before we're officially on break but we've go work to do. Just hang in there with me, I wanna leave just as bad as you guys do."

"What do you have planned for break?" A girl in the back of the class shouted out, clearly overly curious.

"I'm going to see my dad down state and then I'm going to spend Christmas with my better half. But that's not what matters right now! I need you guys to pass your papers to the front and then get in a circle."

The class collectively groaned but began to shuffle around in their bags looking for said paper. A few kids already had theirs out beginning to pass them up while others were still searching tirelessly through their bags. Eventually Alex had all of the papers sitting on his desk and his class sitting on the floor in a circle. He joined the circle , sitting on the floor himself.

"Okay so we are going to discuss fear and of course by popular demand the sleep paralysis that took place through out the chapters. So can someone start us off by ex-" He was cut off by a knocking at the classroom door. "Hold on a second." Alex said to the class as he got up to open the door. He opened it to find Jack leaning against the wall smiling at him. "You need something?" He said trying to keep his teacher persona on fighting the urge to lean in and peck his boyfriend on the lips.

"Oh, I was wondering if I could sit in on your class. I need some extra help breaking the last few chapters down." Jack said catching on, losing the complety casual attitude.

"Sure, do you have a pass?"

"No, I've got ninth period free."

"Come on in then." Alex said letting the teen pass him and join his class on the floor. The teacher had to internally sigh, if it weren't for his class being there he would have gladly had Jack pinned against a wall and having his way with him. But now most definitely was not the time for that and this was not the place either. "Alright where were we...someone explain sleep paralysis...Zack?"

"Yeah, uhm hence the name it's..."

Alex sighed, the class had lagged on and on despite his students excitement to participate. Really it was just Jack's presence that threw him off. He could handle one period a day when they were both in their normal student and teacher roles but the way Jack was just so loose today, it took him out of his element. But he made it through, leading his class into the next part of the book and assigning them the first five pages to read over break. Usually he'd be opposed to assigning work over break but five pages really wasn't asking much. Especially when he'd taken poll between each of his classes in which book they would read. As far as he was concerned a little reading wouldn't hurt them.

"Hey, Alex...Sorry about interrupting earlier." Jack mumbled from where he stood in front of the teacher's desk looking genuinely sorry.

"It's fine. You just caught me off guard."

"I know...but I shouldn't have come to your class like that."

"I'm telling you it's fine. It was nice to see you goofing off with all your friends." Alex smiled and reached for the younger boy's hand. "So are you coming over tonight. You can help me pick which ugly Christmas sweater I bring to my Dad's place."

"I would but I've got some last minute presents to buy...one of them is for you."

"Oh really, do I get a hint?" Alex teased now smirking at the younger.

"Nope. I'll see you tomorrow night though, yeah?"

"Yeah. Love you Jay."

"Yeah, I love you too Lex." The teen smiled and leaned forward pressing his lips gently to the elders.

Jack took in a deep breath staring at what would possibly be the most daunting and embarrassing tasks ever. Sure Cassedee was right by his side but that didn't stop him from feeling completely insecure and nervous.

"You ready?" Cass asked as he put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it.

"I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be." he sighed and opened the door of the Victoria's Secret. Being the gentleman that he was he let Cass step through and followed behind her. A woman probably in her twenties greeted them, probably thinking that Jack was Cass's boyfriend, smiling not finding anything unusual.

"So what were you looking for?" Cass asked quietly as she was just as painfully aware of the people around them as Jack was.

"I don't know...lace I guess. Something girly."

Cass rolled her eyes and lead Jack further into the store. "Everything in here is girly, idiot."

"Oh shut up. I'm nervous okay...how do I even know what size I wear."

"Well for one there's no need to be nervous. no one thinks anything of us. and second I'd say a medium since you're packing a little more than us girls have down there."

"God, I am never going to live this down." he muttered to himself.

"Yes you are. You're getting a great night out of this right and a very happy boyfriend...speaking of how happy will he be?" She asked obviously referring to how far they would be going.

"Uhm...he's getting a cherry with these." Jack offered, blushing bright red.

"Oh my god! Jack you didn't tell me that you two were doing that!" Cass almost shouted gaining the attention of a few other shoppers.

"Shut up...you're loud." He whispered and looked down at the floor.

"Im sorry, it's just your virginity is a big deal...our baby boy is growing up." Now it was Jack's turn to roll his eyes. It's not like it was his fault that he wasn't as sexually advanced as all of his friends. He'd just always made up for it by being dirty minded. But now he was finally catching up and as much as he hated to admit it, it was a pretty big deal. "Anyways I have a pretty good idea on what you should wear now. Just don't get freaked out, okay?"

"I guess." Jack mumbled and let Cass lead him into a different area of the store."Look around for some white lace that you like. Try and look for a cheeky cut."

"What the hell is a cheeky cut and why white?"

"Okay, just find something you like. And you're a virgin yeah? Just pick something white. I mean the color is up to you but white just works."

Jack shrugged and looked around for a pair that looked somewhat appealing. But he felt like he was having no luck simply because he had no idea what he was doing. So he stuck to looking at what the mannequins had on and let Cass figure out the rest. Until he saw one pair that stood out. Maybe they were light blue but he bet they came in white and even then they had white bows on them. So he got Cassedee's attention and pled her over to the mannequin he'd been fixated on.

"I think I want those." He said motioning towards the mannequin which wore the baby blue lace panties with a belt like thing that Jack wasn't sure what to call, yeah he was really inexperienced in women's wear.

"Wow." Cass laughed. "Those litterally sparkle." She stepped closer and reached out running her hand over the waist line. "No wonder, there are rhine stones on here. You've got good taste Jacky, prostitute like but good."

"Shut up! Just help me find 'em in medium."

Cass just rolled her eyes and crouched down to look for the medium drawer."Here you go." She said a few moments later holding the underwear in front of Jack. "You know you can try them on right?"

"W-what?"

"You can try the underwear on while we're here. Come on, lets pick out some more and we'll see how you look alright?"

Jack nodded and took the pair of underwear from Cass. Even though he probably looked like a helpless boyfriend who just wanted to get out of the store he couldn't help but squirm in his own skin whenever anyone looked at him. Because lets face it Jack most definitely was not here just for Cass."Do you like these?" Cass said as she held up an almost entirely made of lace pair with ribbons at the sides tied in over the top bows. "I think they're sexy...a little much but sexy."

Jack rolled his eyes and shrugged. "I don't know what I like honestly...I know the sparkly pair are cool though."

Cass smiled and laughed. "You've already got your heart set don't you?" Jack nodded, maybe he wasn't entirely sure about the pair he'd picked but he was sure as hell that he wanted to get out of the store. "Alright, but you've gotta try em on first. You've got a small waist and I wanna make sure the medium fits you."

Jack sighed but let Cassedee lead him towards the dressing room anyway. The woman at the dressing room gave them a knowing look, although she couldn't have been any more clueless as to what was going on. Because Jack most definitely wasn't Cass's boyfriend, Cass wasn't here for herself, the underwear were for Jack and neither of them were going to the dressing room to hook up. So to say the least Jack was a little irritated by the same look they were getting from everyone around them. But he thought of why he was even here and decided he was okay with a few looks from strangers.Jack let out a breath and stepped into the changing room, which was about twenty different shades of pink he didn't even know existed.

"Cass...can you come in with me so this doesn't look so weird." He whispered, still aware of the people around them despite just how much he tried not to care.

"No offense but I'd rather not see what you've got going on down there."

"Please, it's not like you have to look."

"Okay, fine." She breathed and stepped past Jack into the dressing room.

A few moments later Jack was wriggling his pants off and trying his best to ignore the fact that Cass was in the room. But eventually he was pulling on the underwear and adjusting them so.

"Okay you can turn around." Jack said as he turned himself so that he and Casseedee would be face to face.

"Raise your shirt up." Cass instructed once she'd looked him up and down. "That's the problem with garter belts they're more for in the moment and not to be worn under clothes." She muttered to herself. "Does it fit okay?"

"Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable but I'll get used to it." Jack shrugged and dropped his shirt down. To be quite honest he liked the soft feel of lace on his skin. Sure the strings hanging down were a little annoying but they had clips on them so he was sure they went to something. "Uh what do you do with these things?" He said as he lifted up one of the strings coming from what he assumed was a garter belt.

"Oh, you clip them onto stockings. If you don't want to wear those we could just cut them off."

"Wouldn't that look kinda funny?"

Cass shrugged. "Its up to you...I've got a question for you by the way, it's still totally up to you, but I've gotta ask."

"Okay, shoot."

"Are you gonna shave your legs for this? Honestly I don't know if Alex is into the hairy thing or what but when girls wear this kind of thing we shave everywhere."

"Uh, I don't know. I mean Alex has never complained about my legs...and we've gone kinda far...I guess I could ask him."

"Isn't this a surprise though?""I can ask him without giving anything away."

"Alright, it's just something to consider, you done looking?"

"I guess, I'll have to get stockings though."

"Don't worry, I'll save you the embarrassment this time and get them." Cass teased despite the fact that this was a rather awkward situation. Yet somehow for their group of friends Jack wearing women's underwear had always been predicted. So it wasn't all that shocking that Cass was able to carry on a normal conversation whilst Jack was standing across from her wearing only lingerie and a tee shirt.

"God, sometimes you're just like Rian."

"Oh yeah and what is that?"

"An asshole."

Cass just laughed and shrugged. But Jack was pretty sure she knew it was true. Each of them had their moments but it was always in the same teasing manner.

Eventually they were at the register, Jack pulling his wallet out of his back pocket.

"Alright that'll be twenty-five fifty." The woman at the register said, Jack thought that was pretty expensive but they'd probably see use after Christmas so they were worth the price. He pulled a twenty and a ten out of his wallet and handed it over. There was no way he was using his card for this, the last thing he needed was his mother questioning a purchase of lingerie. "You're lucky to have a boyfriend who will buy you underwear. I wouldn't even be able to get my boyfriend in the store." The woman said, directing her statement at Cass. Cass smiled lightly, obviously unsure with how to respond. So Jack intervened and spoke up.

"She was lucky. This is the first and last time I'll do this."

The woman laughed and handed him his change. "Happy holidays you two." She said with a wink, both of them smiled awkwardly and Cass grabbed the bag so they could make a quick exit.

"Well that was awkward." Jack stated as he took the bag from Cass who nodded in agreement.

"Do you wanna go to another store now?" Cass asked as she lead Jack through the snow covered paths of the local outdoor mall.

"Yeah, could we try Zumiez? I wanna get Alex a new beanie while we're here. His old one is all worn and stuff."

"Awesome, maybe I'll find something for Rian there too."

They made their way to Zumiez and automatically made their way to the beanie rack. Cass had also settled on getting Rian a beanie claiming that it would look cute on him but Jack just rolled his eyes. Rian never wore beanies but he knew that if Cass bought him one he would definitely wear it whether he hated it or not.

"You know he called you his better half in class today." Cassedee said to Jack, not looking up from the cupcake beanie she was fixated on.

"What? I was there during your class."

"Yeah, but not the full class period. Some girl, who totally has the hots for him by the way, asked what he was doing over break and he said he was spending Christmas with his better half. It was kinda cute actually."

Jack grinned at that and blushed lightly. Sure he knew Alex loved him, hell he'd just heard the older boy say it that day, but knowing that he'd admit it to other people well that was nice. Just knowing that he'd acknowledge their relationship was nice, reassuring almost. So yeah he had reason to blush and smile over it as much as he pleased.

A couple hours later and Jack had purchased gifts for all of his friends and family, venturing into Forever Twenty One alone to get a gift for Cass. But he'd gotten the job done and within his budget that his mother had given him. Which was a miracle because they were still barely speaking but things were getting better. She only listened when he first talked to her and mouthed an I'm sorry before running off. Really Jack wished his mother would mature a little but the small efforts she did make were better than nothing.

"Bye Jack." Cass said as she got out of his car beginning to walk off.

"Wait Cass!" Jack shouted after her after rolling the passenger window down.

"What?"

"Can you like take this Victoria's Secret bag? I cannot have my mom asking about that." Cassedee laughed and walked back to th car letting Jack dump his newly bought lingerie into a different bag. Jack handed her the pink and black bag offering her a thank you.

"You're welcome. Tell me how things go."

"I will, before our party with the guys...I may tell Zack but I've gotta figure out how to word it." He laughed knowing that the older teen would definitely be worried over him losing his virginity.

"Good call. See you Jacky boy."

"See you Cassie."With that Cass turned away and Jack pulled off after making sure she'd gotten inside okay.
-
Jack put all of his shopping bags on his bed aside from the one he'd dumped his underwear and white stockings into. He made his way over to his dresser and placed them into one of the drawers being sure to cover them throughly with tee shirts and other items of clothing. God forbid anyone went through his dresser before Christmas because otherwise he was screwed. But quite generally no one bothered his room so he guessed he was fine. Besides that he was spending the night at his Dad's place on Christmas Eve so he could always just pack his lingerie with him. Yeah, that sounded like a good plan, that way absolutely no one would figure out a thing and that was what he hoped for.

Jack got the rest of his presents on the floor beginning to wrap them, happy that the Christmas season was finally officially here. Because that marked nearly half way to graduation and closer and closer to being public with his relationship. And he longed for that so desperately.
