Alex

The service went well and it was lovely to have Jack to help besides the kids. He was eager to help, not like the kids, who were lazy. He did all the things Alex had told him before very neatly, not messing up a single thing. He seemed happy, working here made him forget about his home at least for a bit. Alex had been deeply moved by his little breakdown, he just wanted to help and seeing Jack being sad like this absolutely tore him apart.

He just hoped Jack would do something about his situation before it was too late. Alex didn’t want to put much more pressure on him but if it got worse, he’d do it.

After service, Jack helped him clean up and they had various other moments when they were very close. It was nice and Alex caught himself feeling attracted to Jack again. So naturally, he invited him to have a tea after service.

“Black or green tea? Oh, I also have mint,” Alex said while the water was starting to boil in the kettle.

“You choose,” Jack replied shyly.

“You’re the guest,” Alex said.

“I… Mint? Please? If it’s okay?” Jack requested with a small blush.

“Sure thing, love it,” Alex said with a smile. The water was ready and he poured it onto the leaves.

They sat in silence while the tea steeped. But their gazes met from time to time, each giving the other a surreptitious look sometimes. They ended up sharing a laugh. When the tea was ready, they each had a cup, enjoying the warm beverage.

It was time for Jack to leave; it was already 7.35 so he would be late but he just didn’t want to leave. Alex saw the terror in his eyes and it made him want to wrap up the boy in his arms and protect him from everything. But Jack needed to go and he refused to have Alex go with him to help a little with Matt.

“Jack? One last thing,” Alex said, taking Jack by his wrist when the younger stepped out the door.

“Yes?” Jack said, turning around.

“Take good care of yourself. And I’m always here for you, text me or call me and I’ll pick you up or just come over. Really,” Alex said softly.

“Thank you so much,” Jack said, tears filling his eyes. He hugged Alex very quickly and then left. Alex only glimpsed a tear on his cheek before he was gone.

Jack left the house and walked off into the sunset. He turned around at one point and waved sadly at Alex. Alex waved back.

He returned inside and went to the kitchen. He made himself a bit of pasta and sat down to eat it. Nothing special. When he was finished, he went to his laptop. He opened it and found himself on a website with very… mature content. He thought about his interrupted masturbation session before. Damn, he still felt the need to satisfy himself. But Jack was in trouble… No, Alex had done all he could for now, to be honest. He needed distraction anyways. And he’d keep his phone very close.

He slid down his pants and sat down on the chair, eyes already glued to the screen of his laptop where a video was playing. He started stroking his member slowly but as the pace in the video picked up, so did his. Was moving his hand fast and it made him feel so good to finally act on the desire inside him. His thumb slid across his slit and he moaned loudly. He was panting within no time, hand slick with precome already and his head thrown back in pleasure. He didn’t even need the video anymore.

And then his phone rang.

He cried out frustratedly, he was so, so, so close to coming but he couldn’t. Again. He took the call and tried not to sound like he was really angry. And all his anger was gone within second when he heard Jack wheezing for help. He sounded like he was crying and not able to breathe properly.

“Alex… You need to help me,” he pressed out. Alex started to be really worried.

“Jack, try to stay calm. Where are you?” he said firmly.

“In the house…”

“Is Matt home?”

“No… He left.”

“Good. Do you have something packed?” Alex said, anger now boiling in him because of Matt.

“No… But I can do it while you come here,” Jack managed to say.

“Do that. I’ll pick you up by car in a few minutes. Take good care,” Alex said.

“Sure…” Jack replied. The call was ended.

Alex got up and ready to go as quickly as possible. He hid his still there erection in his pants and hoped it’d be gone soon. He scrambled to pick up some things, grabbed his car keys and left.

Notes
