Nameless Beauty Boy

On Saturday they did it. It didn’t take long; Alex didn’t have much that he needed. Most of it was childhood things. Alex’s Mother appeared and Jack answered the door when she knocked – Jack was calm and Alex swallowed thickly.
“You understand how hard it is t see my baby boy move out.…” Alex’s mother said, attempting not to cry.
“I don’t really want this to hurt you mom, but you know I need to,” Alex explained
“You know, you can come over any day you want,” His mom said as Alex placed his things into a small box. His Mom’s watery gray eyes met his and his fishy lips spread into an even line. “Don’t forget to visit, you are my baby and you’re all grown up. It’s just me and your Father now.”
Alex didn’t find any reason to respond, he didn’t know how to.
“You be safe out there okay? Call me if you get sick or hurt. Kid can’t take care of you like your own mother can.” His Mother said lowly, Alex grinning at her.
“Thank you, but I’m afraid I have to go now,” Alex insisted, hugging his mom.
He shoved past his mom, holding his small box of CD’s and records. Jack waited for him at the curb, taking the box from him, the weight out of his tired arms. Jack closed the back of the truck and gave him a sympathetic look. Alex touched his hand, squeezing it.
Jack knew it was hard for Alex to leave his home, to leave his Mother and Father.
“Let’s go home,” he said quietly, and Jack grinned.
“That’s more like it,” he laughed, walking around to step into the truck, Alex following. He shook his head, turning his back on the house, a strange feeling settling in his stomach. Maybe he was just nervous, but he couldn’t shake the feeling they weren’t home. Not really. Not yet.
They hauled the boxes into their new apartment building, and no one stopped them to question them, or gave them any weird looks as they made their way into the elevator, taking it to the top floor. Alex shifted the box in his arms, leaning closer to Jack, their elbows brushing. And Jack looked down at Alex, and Alex smiled up at him, leaning up to gently kiss him before the elevator doors opened up at the top floor.
Their apartment was at the end of the wall, and there weren't many rooms on the top floor, which was actually great. It just meant less people for them to have to deal with. Jack set his box down to dig through his pockets for his keys, unlocking the door and pushing it open. When Alex walked across the threshold, everything felt different.
He was at this apartment al day yesterday, so he was familiar with it, but now, it felt like he was walking into it for the first time. It felt new and unfamiliar, because not only was it Kid's, it was his; this was going to be his new home.
He heard Jack pick up the box from outside, and Alex sat his box by the doorway before Jack set his down beside it.
"Welcome home," Kid grinned and curled an arm around Alex's waist, pulling him against his side. Alex smiled and pressed his face into the side of his neck, wrapping an arm around his middle.
"We still have a couple of more boxes."
"Yeah, all of your damn CD’s and records. How many do you even own?"
"I only have one box of CD’s and records stop your complaining." Alex smiled sheepishly and Jack pressed a kiss into his hair before pulling away.
"Well, come on, let's get all your stuff inside."
They hauled the rest of Alex’s belongings into the house, and Alex went about making room in their closet for his clothes because Kid had said that he "wasn't going to let him live out of a bag. The closet was big enough to fit all of their clothes." He shoved all of Kid’s clothes to one side of the closet, digging out some stray hangers to hang his shirts on the other side. He didn't have as many clothes as Kid, so it was easier to fit everything in together.
“It’s fine,” Kid insisted and Alex tried to smile. Kid rubbed his arm with the flat of his hand, squeezing gently. “Hey.”
Alex met his eyes, knowing he wasn’t very convincing by the worry that appeared on Kid’s brow.
“I’m serious. It’s going to be fine,” Kid soothed.
“You trust me, don’t you?”
Alex nodded, “Look at me.”

“This is going to be really good, ok? I know it’s been hard, but you’re going to keep smiling, and I’m going take care of you and things are just going to keep getting better. This is a good start, you know? You’re here, and this will be home for us.”
“I honestly don’t know why I’m so scared and nervous. I guess I just feel like everything is going by so fast! I honestly don’t know.”

Jack gave Alex a hug, pulling away and putting their foreheads together. “You just need some sleep okay? We have been unpacking for hours, let’s just get some rest.”

Alex walked away and went into his bedroom putting on his Pajamas and going to bed, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Crash!
“Damn IT!”

Alex opened his eyes and sat up in bed, there was a light outside the door. Alex climbed out of bed and walked to the door, cracking it open and looking out. Jack crouched over on the floor picking up Alex’s CD’s. “Kid? What happen?” Jack looked up from the pile, he looked scared. “Oh Alex I’m so sorry, I was just moving them and it slipped, I was thinking maybe I could play queen to wake you up in the morning but I still didn’t know how to figure out your record player so I thought CD’s…” He stood up “I really didn’t mean to drop them, or wake you up.”

Kid’s hair was messy and he was wearing a baggy grey AC/DC shirt with striped baggy pajama pants. His faced looked like a puppy who did something wrong. Alex looked over at the clock; it was 3:09 am. “I’m really sorry Alex…” Alex smiled and walked over to him “If you want to learn I’ll show you.” Kid nodded and Alex grabbed the record player. “Pick an Album, Kid.” Kid randomly grabbed a record and read the back of it, “How about Queen?” He said with a smirk “Sure, I love Queen.” Jack walked over to Alex who was finished with setting up the record player. “Hey, can you put like a specific song on first or….?” Kid asked. “I can put on a specific song, what song do you want?”

“It’s a toss up between Teo torriatte and who wants to live forever”

“Nice songs, who wants and then Teo?”
“Sounds nice”
Alex looked at the back of the record to see what song it was; he placed the record on the table and brought down the needle”

The sound of beautiful music filled the room, Alex turned around and Jack grabbed him and pulled him close, swaying his hips. “What are you doing?”
Alex asked
There’s no time for us.

“Dancing, you know dancing right? Come on dance with me.”
There’s no place for us.
Alex looked over at the record player.
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us?

Alex looked back at Kid and nodded, Kid smiled and started to quietly sing with the song.
Who wants to live forever?
Jack grabbed Alex’s hand and wrapped his arm around Alex’s waist.
Who wants to live forever?
Alex placed his hand behind Jack’s neck pulling Jack close so their cheeks touched.
There’s no chance for us.
They started to sway softly, bodies close.
It’s all decided, for us.
Alex rested his head on Jack’s shoulder, Jack stopped singing.

There is only one sweet moment set aside for us.

Jack pulled Alex closely and started to move his feet.
Who want to live forever? Who wants to live forever?

Beautiful violins filled their minds, they bodies becoming wrapped in every cord of the song the music moving them as one.
Who dares to love forever?

Freddy’s wonderful voice gave them the chills, Jack lightly kissed Alex’s head and smiled.
When love must die?

The soft guitar played and jack stepped backed, Alex following his footsteps.
They lightly rocked and circled, staying close together. They moved as so do the fingers when sweeping across a guitar, never parting.
But touch my tears, with your lips.
Alex lifted his hand up, running his fingers through the back of Jack’s hair, He sang the next line under his breath.
Touch my world with your finger tips.
Only that one line, he felt like that line just needed to be sung; and to jack, it just felt right.

And we can have forever.
And we can love forever.
Forever, is ours today.

Alex lifted his head and looked at Jack, Alex let go of Jack’s hand and placed his arms around his neck, Jack put both hands on Alex’s hips.
Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever?

They put their foreheads together.
Forever is ours today.
Alex closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Who waits forever anyway?

Music played, the Orchestra played within them. The soft quite music, the guitar and drums, violins, cellos, all playing so gracefully, the song ended.

The next song played, piano filling the room. Alex opened his eyes and looked at Jack.

The music was so beautiful, the night was so beautiful, he needed to tell Kid, he just had to tell him how amazing this all is. How amazing the music is.

“Kid?” Alex spoke up
“sh-sh” He said quietly leaning forward brining his lips to Alex’s ear. “I know.”

Alex smiled, he knew.

When I’m gone.

They both closed their eyes and just listened to the song, Jack’s song.

When I'm gone
Don't stop to wonder if I ever think of you
The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon. . . be not gone.

They are under their own paper moon.

Though I'm gone
It's just as though I hold the flower that touches you
A new life grows
The blossom knows
There's no one else could warm my heart as much as you. . . be not gone

Alex’s life has changed all because of this one boy.

Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned

He doesn’t even know his name, but that’s okay.

Hear my song
Still think of me the way you've come to think of me
The nights grow long
But dreams live on
Just close your pretty eyes and you can be with me. . . dream on

Alex closed his eyes, this is it. This is Jack’s song and Alex is here with him.

When I'm gone
They'd say we're all fools and we don't understand
Oh be strong
Don't turn your heart
You're all
We're all
For all
For always. . .

“For always, Kid”
“For always, Alex”

Notes

i strongly sugest you listen to "Who wants to live forever" by queen!!!! it will make this story so much better if you listen to both of the songs!!!! Teo T is Jack's song and Who Wants is Alex's song... remember that now! listen to that song, love the song, breath the songs. Those songs are the promises in their relationship... they didnt know it but by dancing together to those songs they made a promise, a vow. to each other. the vow being "For always" because Kid knew, he just knew.
