Let's Be Alone Together
One of one
"God, Jack, Tom Hiddleston is so fucking hot!"
Those eight stupid words were all Jack have been hearing from Alex since yesterday. It was a bad idea that Flyzik went and bought the The Avengers DVD when we stopped over Walmart the other day and let Alex watch is. Now the man won't shut up about that stupid Tom Hiddleston.
They were currently at the back lounge chilling after a long night of partying and Alex was on his laptop, watching interviews and bits of clips from the movie Thor which I begged Flyzik never to buy the next time we stopped by a Walmart.
"Jesus, Alex, will you stop day dreaming about Loki, now? I'm your boyfriend! You should be focusing on me." Jack whined, crossing his arms over his chest with an audible huff.
"But Jack! It's Tom Hiddleston! He's perfect and he has an accent!" Alex gushed, staring at his laptop, touching the screen gently and blushing.
"Fine, be like that." Jack said, storming out of the tiny room and headed to his bunk. Alex didn't even stop him and that upsets Jack even more.
Later that night, Jack couldn't sleep at all when he hears Alex sniffing at the bunk right next to him. He furrowed his eyebrows and frowned, was Alex crying? The young man thought. Jack didn't mean to upset Alex, he just wants to be noticed by the older boy. But that was physically impossible since Alex was all over gushing to Loki on his laptop screen.
Jack listened closer and it confirmed his thoughts that Alex was crying, he had to make it up to the older boy somehow. He didn't mean to storm off like that; he just wants Alex's attention. So Jack lied down gently again, running thoughts on how to make it up to Alex.
The young man thought of something to make Alex happy, he thought, they were sort of rich, and they were sort of famous, too. So Jack thought maybe he'd surprise Alex in a certain and special way.
The next day, Jack had everything planned in his head; he stumbled to the front lounge and drank coffee, waiting patiently for Flyzik to finish showering.
"Yo, Flyzik. Can I ask you a favor?" Jack said his voice low and merely a whisper.
"Does it involve trashing the whole bus? If yes, then no." the tour manager rolled his eyes and shook his head at Jack.
"No! No, it doesn't. It's for Alex and I..."
"No sex on the bus, we talked about that and yo--"
"Just let me fucking finish for fuck's sake!" Jack laughed, and continued, "I want you to phone some people, try and get me to this event," Jack handed Matt a piece of paper that contains the address, the admin and the event, along with the contact numbers. "And I want you to book us meet and greets for it. Okay?"
Matt nodded, "I'll try my best, bro. But you know this isn't out field so I don't exactly know if I can get you through special treatments and VIP's?"
"Here," Jack handed Flyzik his credit card, "Do whatever it takes, please, Fly.."
"I'll see what I can do, I mean, this is Com--"
Jack was quick to put his hand on Matt's mouth to shut him up, if one soul knew about the plan, then it would be ruined. It had to be between him and Flyzik only.
"Matt! Never, I mean never, ever talk about it in this bus, ever. Please, I need this to be a surprise, okay?" Jack whispered as Matt nodded and he let the tour manager go.
They both looked at each other when they saw Alex come in the room, with the look of surprise and embarrassment, he just woke up so his eyes were still droopy and his hair was disheveled, but nevertheless, Alex looks like an angel to Jack. But the younger remembered that Alex thought he was mad, Jack had to keep the act up if he wants Alex to stay away from him so he can do everything he's planned.
"Uhm, mornin'?" The singer said, and walked towards the kitchen counter, turning the coffee maker on and sitting down. Glancing at Jack every now and then.
Afternoon the same day, Flyzik came up to Jack to talk about the bookings and meet and greets.
"You got in! It's tomorrow, 3:00 pm, and guess what?" Matt exclaimed,
"What?"
"It's in New York! Our next stop is New York tomorrow probably 11:00 am if we keep going tonight."
"Dude, Fly, that's fucking awesome! Thank you so much! Did you book us meet and greets with..."
"Yeah! Yeah I did and I even got his number, will you even believe that he's a total fan of All Time Low?" Matt questioned and laughed, Jack was just as surprised as Matt is.
"Are you kidding me?! No way!"
"Yes way.. Now go get rest, we'll be in New York tomorrow, you better be there on time Jack."
"Will do. Thanks again, Matt. I owe you big time."
The next day Jack was just so excited, he couldn't even stay still if he wanted to. But he misses Alex, it's been almost two days since they've spoken and Jack still gives him the cold shoulder. He had to, though.
The bus stopped not long ago and Jack was getting ready for his surprise.
"Jack!" He heard Matt yell.
"Fly, M'at the back!" he responded.
Not long when Flyzik came by the door and handed his a piece of paper indicating where the event would take place, along with his tickets, I.D's and passes.
"Goodluck, Jack. Remember, you have to look for Mr. Hendrick's. He's the manager. Okay? You got his contacts there and you can possibly do whatever you want as long as you have that I.D, alright? And please don't get lost, the last time I allo-"
"Shut up, Matt. I'll be fine. This is important to me too. I'll see you later, okay?" Jack said, walking out the room with a smug smile on his face.
He went outside the bus; he had a handkerchief on his hand for Alex's blindfold, so he slowly walked to Alex and blindfolded him. Not speaking or making a sound that would give away who he was.
When they were in the car on the way to the event. Alex was pleading to Jack, he wanted to take the blindfold off but the younger handcuffed his hands.
"Please, please who are you?! I'd give you anything, please." Alex sobbed. Jack almost wanted to drop the wheel and take Alex into his arms, but he can't be weak now, he knows he had to do this.
Jack and Alex arrived at the venue somehow late because of the struggle that Alex was making to get out of the car. The younger removed the handcuffs before they stepped inside.
He immediately asked one of the securities about Mr. Hendricks. And lead them the way. The booming of the speakers was evident, along with the crowd's murmurs. It was a familiar feeling to Jack.
Jack, Alex and the guard reached a door with the name of Mr. Hendricks.
"Excuse me, but, this is a surprise for him. Could you please look after him for me but make sure that he doesn't take the blindfold off, please?" Jack whispered to the guard who only nodded at him, as he enters the room. He saw a man, not more than the fifty's. Well suited and matched with broad glasses.
"Mr. Hendricks?" Jack said,
"Oh, you must be Jack? Mr. Flyzik told me you were to tell me something?" Mr. Hendricks said, his British accent most evident.
"Ah, yes. Uhm, well, I was wondering if I could take my boyfriend on stage to meet his idol, we heard that he's a huge fan of my band." Jack pushed.
"Yes! Yes, I've heard him listen to it most of the times, I could do that, of course! You have meet and greet passes, though. Do you?" The old man said, raising and eyebrow at Jack.
"Yes I do. We do."
"Alright, then! I'll go tell one of the staff to ready him about this meet and greet then a girl outside named Taylor Jardine will assist you to the stage."
"Thank you, sir."
It was almost an hour when the girl named Taylor approached them, "Okay, he's the only one on stage for now because of this meet and greet and the crowd were already informed about this, so they'll all be quiet if you guys come out."
Jack only nodded at her, his head was spinning, and when Taylor gave him the signal. He pushed Alex center stage in front of his idol.
He slowly took the blindfold off of Alex, who only squinted his eyes at the sudden bright light on his way. But when his visions cleared, he has never screamed so loud in his life,
"Oh my god! Tom Hiddleston?!" Alex said, tears brimming on his eyes as he went to hug Tom.
"And Alex Gaskarth, I'm a huge fan of your band, you know. Oh, and you must be Jack. Pleasure to meet you." Tom said, reaching a hand out to Jack as Alex still clung on to him like a leech.
"Alex, baby. Please let go of Tom, you'll suffocate him to death." Jack cooed at Alex who had tears in his eyes.
"Oh, I-i'm sorry, Tom. It's just.. I'm so happy. I'm such a huge fan of yours and oh my god this is comic con?!" Alex squealed, bringing his hand on his mouth.
"Oh my god, Jack?! You brought me to Comic Con?! To fucking Tom Hiddleston?!"
"Yeah, I did. Are you happy?" Jack asked, stepping closer to Alex and bringing him to a hug.
"I thought you were mad at me, Jack. I'm sorry.." Alex said, choking a sob.
"You know I love you, Alex. I could never be mad at you even if I tried." Jack said, leaning back and bringing Alex's lips to his'.
"Give it up for Jack and Alex from All Time Low, guys! I'm a huge fan, you guys should listen to them." We heard Tom say on his microphone.
Alex immediately left Jack's warm hug to cling on to Tom's thin frame sending the actor stumbling backwards.
"I never thought in a million years that I'd be able to meet my favorite band." Tom laughed at the mic, as the crowd screamed. "Do you want to say something, Alex?"
"Yes, please." Tom handed his mic to the singer, "First of all, I'd like to thank Tom Hiddleston for existing and being an amazing actor. I fucking love him so much, oh am I allowed to curse?" Alex laughed, tears still flowing in his cheeks. Tom only nodded at him and urged him to go on.
"And second of all, I'd like to thank my wonderful boyfriend, Jack Barakat, for this amazig surprise, baby. You're not the only one with surprises. If only you had waited til tonight at our show, but this is a special moment for me too, I mean, I’m here with Loki, oh my god, okay anyway," Alex continued, he reached inside his jacket and pulled out a small velvet box. Jack gasped, "Oh my god, Alex."
"I want you to just shut up and hear me out, okay?” Alex said, in which Jack only nodded, tears were threatening to fall from his eyes.
“For ten years we've been best friends, for six years we've been lovers. And I want, for the next century and forever, to be your husband, Jack, you've been nothing but a supportive and loving boyfriend to me. And sometimes at night when you tell me you feel so worthless, baby, you're wrong," Alex sniffled,
"Because, if you could only see what I see in you, you'd realize how special you are to everyone, especially me." he walked towards Jack and held his hand.
"You'll see how much worth you've got, because without you there'd be no All Time Low. There'd be no me. You complete me, baby. And I want to go out and be able to tell everyone that you're mine." Alex kneeled on one knee and held the velvet box in front of Jack,
"Jack Bassam Barakat, will you fucking pretty please marry me?" he asked,
And all Jack could do was nod hysterically at the question, because, yes! He'll fucking marry Alex. One must be so stupid to say no to that stupid brown orbs.
"As long as Tom Hiddleston's get to bless our marriage, yes, Alex. I'll marry you." Jack said, his voice was shaky but he still managed to get it out.
Tom just laughed at the statement and clapped at us, chanting "Kiss" with the crowd.
Jack brought his lips to Alex, his smooth plum lips caressing Jack’s; the kiss was slow and passionate. But it remained innocent as we broke off, looking over Tom who had a smug grin on his face.
Jack was surely glad that Alex became obsessed with Loki.
Those eight stupid words were all Jack have been hearing from Alex since yesterday. It was a bad idea that Flyzik went and bought the The Avengers DVD when we stopped over Walmart the other day and let Alex watch is. Now the man won't shut up about that stupid Tom Hiddleston.
