Kiss and Sell

Alex was unexpectedly pulled into a classroom and pushed roughly against a wall. The door he had just been pulled through was slammed shut, the lights flickered off, and the lock turned by whoever had grabbed him. He looked up in time to see Beau's scruffy face before it was being ducked down to kiss the side of his neck.

"I miss you so much." Beau whispered against him, his hot breath disgusting him. Alex frowned and wiggled, trying to move away from the teacher as he pressed his hips forward to hold Alex's against the wall.

"Stop, I can't." Alex said quickly, trying to avoid the kisses being distributed to him softly that were slowly moving up to the corner of his mouth.

"Why not, baby?" Beau asked as he cupped his cheek and moved Alex's face to access his lips, finally planting his against Alex's softly only for Alex to push him away roughly, angrily.

"I have... Beau, I have a boyfriend now. I'm not how I used to be anymore. I really like him and I don't want you or anyone else fucking it up for me. I... Fuck... I love him, okay? I fucking love him." He hissed, pushing Beau back again when he tried to return for more surprise kiss attacks.

"Alex, baby-" Beau began.

"No! Besides, I heard you got a girl pregnant! I mean... I know who it is, but still! And you told her you'd pay her not to tell anyone! You're... You're a fucking deadbeat! Just leave me alone, Beau! I don't want anything to do with you." He was starting to get a bit louder than necessary so Beau suddenly reached up and placed a hand over his mouth while hissing, "Shut the fuck up, Alex. Don't talk about that shit. You don't even know what's really happening, so just stay the fuck out of it."

"I know enough to know how much of a douche you are! That's your fucking kid and you know it. You know her parents left her here because of what you did to her? Because she wants to keep the baby? You know that she's never going to have a normal life because of you!" He yelled after pushing Beau's rough hand away.

"That's not of your damn business!" Beau hissed, "You need to learn to stay out of other peoples' shit. This has nothing to do with you!"

"It is my business when it's my friends, asshole! If it wasn't for Cass' parents being so understanding and nice Val would be out on the streets!" He exclaimed.

"Alex, shut the fuck up or I'll-"

"You'll what, Beau? What are you going to do to me? Gonna get me pregnant too? Then what?" Alex retorted, shaking his head at him, "You make me sick. Don't ever come near me or Valerie ever again or I'll tell the cops everything." He threatened.

Beau's face retorted into anger. He reached up and grabbed the collar of his shirt with shaky hands.

"Stop!" Alex exclaimed, "Don't touch me!"

Suddenly the door was slammed open and Jack stomped in. He grabbed Alex quickly from Beau's grasp -fist cocking back and punching the man twice in the face. Beau doubled over in pain -clutching his nose and whimpering while Jack stood steaming as he snarled, "Don't fucking touch my boyfriend."

"This guy?" Beau laughed, blood dripping from his hand and nose into the floor, "Jack Barakat is your boyfriend, Alex? How pathetic." He laughed.

Jack kicked his knee out from under him, watching Beau tumble down to the ground and kicked him in the ribs. Beau laughed again, spluttering out, "This'll be you someday, Alex, just remember th-that. Kid's got problems."

Jack glared down at him, ready to kick him until he broke all of his ribs, but Alex grabbed his sleeve and pulled as hard as he could while whimpering, "Stop. You're just giving him what he wants, Jack."

Jack hesitated but eventually followed Alex out of the classroom. He was still fuming and Alex could tell so he kept quiet until Jack finally hissed, "You ever go near that prick again and we'll be done."

"I-I didn't even... He grabbed me. I don't like him, Jack! I only like you!"

"Then it wont be fucking hard for you to stay away from him, will it?" Jack snarled, reaching out to grab Alex's wrist tightly, "You get this through your thick head, Alex, you are nobody's but mine. I better not find you alone with some guy like that ever again." He growled.

Alex assumed Jack hadn't heard any of his and Beau's conversation so instantly he tried to argue. Jack growled loudly, pushing him against the wall and slapping him in the face. Alex gasped, reaching up with a free hand to touch his cheek. Jack glared down at him for a moment before suddenly blinking, as if he was blinking the anger away, and shaking his head. He pulled Alex into his chest suddenly, whispering, "I'm so sorry, baby, I'm so, so sorry."

Alex shook his head in Jack's chest, laughing quietly as he mumbled, "You called me baby."

Jack blushed, "It doesn't matter. I'm sorry." Alex nodded and melted into Jack's arms wrapped around him. He knew Jack was just angry. He'd be angry too. Jack was protective over him and Alex knew he never wanted to hurt him. He had just been angry.

Jack pulled back and cupped the red cheek, sighing as he whispered, "I'm such a dick. I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking-"

"I know. It's okay." Alex mumbled, leaning into Jack's touch as the younger bit his lip. He had caused that irritated patch of skin on Alex's face and he was disgusted with himself, yet the slighter boy still acted as if everything was okay. He pulled away and mumbled, "I have to go. I'm so sorry."

Alex nodded his head, reaching out to grab him for a kiss, but Jack pulled away and walked off. He was scared of hurting him again somehow.

Alex sighed but turned to go in the opposite direction only to run right into himself. Well, not really, it was Tom but still. He laughed quietly once he realized it was Tom, shaking his head as he reached up to run his fingers through his hair and mumbling, "Hey, Tom."

"Was that your boyfriend?" Tom asked.

Alex bit his lip, "I... Uh... Well, yeah, that was Jack. Uh, how much did you see?"

Tom cocked an eyebrow at him, "Just him hugging you and stuff. What happened to your face? Looks red on the side." He pointed to the left of Alex's face. Alex reached up and gently touched his cheek before shrugging, "I dunno."

Tom gave him a skeptical look making Alex frown, "Dude, it's nothing! Just... God, you're so annoying! Don't make me give myself that look!" He pointed at Tom's face, "Ugh, whatever, I'm leaving." He threw his hands up and walked away, not even glancing at Tom who frowned. Probably not the best 'welcome to American high school' he'd get, but he assumed it was the only one. He had come to find Alex so he would show him around, but of course he was mad and wasn't going to. He'd just have to figure it out on his own, it seemed.

Alex knew he probably shouldn't chase after Jack, but he did anyways. He found him with a cigarette in his mouth about to light. He swiped it out of his mouth and threw it on the ground. Jack stood up -glaring at him like he was about to hit him but he knew he wouldn't.

"We need to talk." Alex said, crossing his arms over his chest, "I know how you are. I know you're going to stop talking to me because you think you hurt me, but you didn't, okay? I've had worst than a little slap."

Jack rolled his eyes, "You don't know shit about me, Alex. You think you know everything but you don't."

Alex frowned, "Maybe I don't know anything because you never talk to me! You bottle everything up inside instead of letting me help you and it pisses me off!"

"I don't need your help! I don't need anyone's help! I can fix my own damn problems!"

"How?!" Alex exclaimed, "By cutting yourself? Real good, Jack, yeah, that solves everything doesn't it?!" He shouted.

"Just shut up!" Jack yelled, "At least I don't sleep around with psychopaths!"

"At least I don't nearly kill myself and my family and my friends and everyone who loves me!" Alex retorted.

"Shut up!"

Alex did as he was told, letting out a long sigh as he bit his lip and looked down at his feet, "I just want us to be okay. I don't want to fight and I don't want to ignore the entire thing either. I want to make it okay."

Jack bit the inside of his cheek and averted his eyes to his cigarette on the ground while stuffing his hands in his pockets, "I never meant to hit you. I was just angry and... I... I was scared of losing you."

"I don't like Beau. He was nothing to me. He's still nothing to me. In fact, I hate him. He got Valerie pregnant and then told her he'd pay her to not tell anyone. He doesn't want anything to do with her or the baby. He's a horrible person. He pulled me in there and tried to kiss me but I told him I had a boyfriend who I... I... really c-care about and I didn't want to lose..." He blushed and bit his lip, "You didn't let me explain anything. That's all I was trying to tell you. You can trust me. I'm not trying to get with anyone."

Jack shook his head, "I do trust you. I just don't trust them."

Alex frowned, "Well you should trust me to not let them do anything, Jack. They aren't going to seduce me. I won't let them! I only want you!"

Jack groaned in annoyance, shaking his head and turning to walk off, "Whatever."

Alex started following him, "Whatever. Just walk off then! Like you always fucking do!" Alex snarled, grabbing his arm and pulling Jack back.

"What's your problem now?" Jack asked -giving a little amused chuckle. Really he had gotten everything he needed off his chest so he felt him and Alex were good now, apparently Alex thought they were still arguing. It was only funny when Alex was the one angry, it seemed, which had Alex's blood boiling.

"I fucking hate that word!" He exclaimed.

"Problem?" Jack asked.

"Whatever!!!!!! I hate it! I fucking hate it!" He shouted angrily, suddenly running forward and tackling Jack to the ground.

"What is your problem, you psycho?!" Jack cried as Alex punched him in the shoulder. They had a really bad habit of physically hurting each other and Alex wasn't sure why. Jack grabbed his arms and pinned them to his sides while rolling over and straddling him.

"Let me go so I can kick your ass!! I deserve to after you slapped me! Let me kick your stupid little ass!" He screamed angrily, writhing under Jack who hissed, "You're fucking crazy if you think I'll let you kick my ass. You're so stupid..." He paused, looking down at the elder who continued to squirm and struggle under his weight before leaning down with a little chuckle and pressing his lips to Alex's. Alex instantly cooled down, kissing back and trying not to blush as Jack mumbled, "You're so cute..." Against his lips.

"Whatever." Alex grumbled.
