Nameless Beauty Boy

Month’s later2

Alex tapped his pen on his head trying to remember the answer to his test question ‘What is the thing that happens to a start when it is on its way to a super nova?’ Alex closed his eyes and tried to think ‘God, I think it’s C.) Iron ash has accumulated in the core. If only they worded the question differently!'


Alex started taking these classes a few months back. He told Kid that he wanted to be a space scientist and Kid did all he could to find Alex a class that would help him fulfill his dream. He’s been doing well so far, but the test become harder with each visit. Sometimes it becomes too much for Alex to handle and he starts to have a panic attack. Kid always calms down Alex when he begins to panic; he really wants Alex to do good in his classes.

The boy behind Alex stood up the metal legs on his chair scraped across the tile floor causing to Alex take his eyes off his paper.
'Tristan, The star of the class. What a wanker.'

Alex answered his last question and stood up whilst looking a this paper checking over his answers. Tristan accidentally bumped into Alex. Tristan lifted his hands and took a step back “Sorry Marry” Alex sighed and rolled his eyes, ignoring him and turned in his test. Alex sat back down in his seat. “So Marry, how do you think you did?” Tristan said basically resting his head on Alex’s shoulder. “shut up Tristan" Alex said shifting in his seat. "Whatever Marry" Tristan slouched back in his chair, they remained quite till everyone finished and turned in their test. Why does he keep calling me Marry?

"So class I have graded all your test, didn't take long with the help of Miss Dior.

Mr. Stanton smiled at her and she waved. “You all did very well.” Mr. Stanton passed back everyone's test smiling and congratulating the ones who did well. "Ah, Mr.Gaskarth." He placed the test on Alex's desk and leaned down, Mr. Stanton brought his voice to a whisper "between you and I, you are the only one that got the last question correct".
Mr. Stanton rose up and smiled at Alex, he continued to pass back the others tests. Alex smiled and flipped his paper over eager to see his grade, his face dropped. Alex stared at his paper. "What'd you get Marry?" Tristan asked; Alex stayed quite looking at the paper in his hands. Tristan waved his hand in front of Alex's face "hellooo?"

"An A" Alex squeaked
"What?" Tristan said odiously not hearing Alex
"I got an A on the test!" This time he was a little louder
Tristan was shocked "Wha- Let me see I don’t believe you” Tristan grabbed Alex’s test from his hands. “How is that possible?! I only got a B!" Alex grabbed his test from Tristan; he opened his mouth to speak only to be interrupted by another voice.
"Well Mr.DuGrey, Alex here took the notes I strongly suggested as you did not. You can’t pass by solely on your good looks your whole life. Your family is one of the main icons in this town you need to represent your family.” Stanton walked to the front of the classroom. “I almost forgot! The town is throwing a small dance in a week, I am telling you this now but cards won't be mailed out until Saturday. Now since everyone has their tests back, class dismissed."

Alex grabbed his bag and threw it over his shoulders, pulling out his phone and texting Kid.

-Kid (Green heart)-
Class is over J

Kid was sitting on their living room floor playing his guitar. He stopped playing and pulled out the pen from behind his ear writing down cords on a notepad. His phone vibrated, he put down the pen and picked up the phone. It was sitting right next to the notepad. He read the message on his lock screen.

=Alex (Blue heart) =
Class is over :)

-To Alex-
Pick you up in 5, maybe sooner.

Kid stood up placing his guitar on the couch. He walked to his bed room scanning the floor for a pair of shoes. He put his hands on his hips "maybe we should get a Cat. So when my stuff goes missing I can blame it on them.”


Alex began to walk out of class, turning the hall toward the parking lot
"Hey Marry" Tristan walked up right next to Alex, a little too close for his liking might he add. Alex rolled his eyes trying his hardest not to say anything. "My name is Alex."
"Did you cheat on the test?" Tristan rudely asked ignoring Alex's correction as if he didn’t care what Alex had to say. Alex and Tristan walked down the stairs, Alex tried to walk faster then him to get away. "Why would you think that?" Alex asked rather offended. "Because you got an A". Alex stopped walking right as he got to the door that leaded to the outside, leaning his back slightly against it. He spoke calmly "You can't be on top forever Tristan. Maybe it's time for a regime change." Alex pushed the door open with his back and walked away leaving Tristan.

“Hey!" Tristan yet again caught back up with Alex. Alex stop walking standing at the usual place where Kid picks him up, this is the first time Tristan has followed him out of class. “Where's your car?" Alex pulled put his phone "Don't have one." Alex said not looking up from his phone

-to Kid-
The annoying rude guy Tristan is standing right next to me at our meeting spot, if you love me please make a big entrance.

"Why not?" Tristan questioned, it was none of his business
"Why do you care?" Alex loves answering nosy or stupid questions with another question.

=Kid=
Dare devil circus big or bad ass movie big?

Alex smiled at the text, Kid in him so well

-to Kid-
Bad ass movie big.

"Are you waiting for someone?" Tristan placing his hands in his pockets
"You could say that" Alex smirked
"So... The dance" Tristan's voice was... Hesitant, like he was scared
"What about the dance?" Alex kept his eyes on the rode looking for Kid
"Do you think you will go?" Alex felt that the questions he was asking were weird.
"I don't know I'll give it a thought" Alex was really confused why Tristan even cared. All he ever did was tease Alex and call him Marry all the time.
"Yeah I don't think I'll go anyway so;" he sounded uncomfortable and awkward.
“That’s... Good to know?" his response was sarcastic. Tristan rolled his eyes “Why are we even talking about the dance?” Alex shrugged his shoulders “I don’t know you randomly brought it up.” Tristan huffed.

"What are we doing here?" his tone showed he was irritated, Alex was questioned. Why is he still here? Why is he standing with me?

"I’m here because I am waiting for some one." Alex lowered his voice "I don’t know why you’re here."
"Who are we waiting for?" Tristan asked yet again ignoring Alex.
"Someone" by now he was trying so hard not to smile. Alex realised it was none of Tristan’s business and frankly he didn’t care what Tristan said. Alex just wanted to see his mouth drop when Kid came.
"Who?" Tristan asked again “Just someone, why do you care?” Tristan shuttered a little “I don’t care I just want to know who you’re waiting for.” Tristan was really starting to bug Alex but Alex was too nice to tell Tristan to leave. After a moment of silence he spoke again. “Do I know them?” “No you don’t know him” Tristan’s eyes widened “Oh! So it’s a boy?” Tristan was mocking Alex, yeah like he would spend his day waiting around for a girl. “Yeah it’s a boy” Alex was acting casual, he had nothing to hide. Tristan bent down “What’s his name” Alex rolled his eyes “Kid.” Tristan laughed “Kid? You expect me to believe his name is Kid?”
“Well that’s not his real name, that’s just what I call him” Tristan was suddenly interested again “Oh really? What’s his real name then?” Alex stomach fluttered “I- I don’t know.” “Sounds really interesting, now tell me more about this Mysterious someone.”

And on that Note Alex heard the loud rev of an engine... Alex smiled and Tristan turned his head to the street.

Kid came riding in fast; he popped a wheelie then pushed the brakes quickly causing the bike to slide like in the movies. He was wearing his leather jacket that Alex adored so much. ‘That’s him” Alex said to Tristan, Kid stopped only a few meters away from where they where standing. Kid pulled off his helmet and flipped his hair. He put the kick stand up on his bike. Alex ran over to Kid and hugged him almost knocking Kid off the bike. He smiled at Alex and kissed his cheek.

"Hey Lex" Alex let go of Kid and turned towards Tristan "Tristan this is-" Alex looked at the empty spot in front of him they heard the sound of a door close and Alex looked towards the door he walked out from. "Where did he go?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows "Hey babe. Who cares? So I don't meet the jack ass today. Big deal?" Kid smiled and Alex gave him a kiss. Alex climbed on the back of Kids bike putting on his helmet. "Hold on." Alex wrapped his arms around Kid and they took off.

____________________________________________________

Kid walked into the door, He placed his keys in the key bowl and put his helmet next to the record player. "Yeah think Luke will ever repaint his Diner?" Alex closed the door behind them. "Ha, over his dead body." Kid abruptly turned around and kissed Alex placing his hands on Alex's hips. Alex was surprised at first, but he sank into kids touch. Just the touch of him sent shivers down Alex’s spine. Kid suddenly pulled away pulled away, but not to far keeping their noses close together. "You know I love you right?" Kid asked looking at Alex with his big doe eyes, they always made Alex melt.
"Yes and I Love you."

Kid smirked and kissed Alex one last time "Good." He walked over to the couch picking up his guitar and notepad, He walked down the hallway. They keep all their extra things in what was originally Alex's room when they moved in, now it's basically an office/storage area.

"You pick first tonight Kid!" Alex shouted from inside the living room.
"Led Zeppelin! The album that has the song Rambling On." Kid said quickly, it was the first song that popped in his mind.
Kid walked back to the living room "GOT IT!"

"Whoa no need to shout Lex, I'm right here." Kid said playfully, fully aware of the fact he knew Alex didn’t see him walk back.
Alex quickly turned around with the record in his hands; he looked so cute holding it so close to his chest.
"o-oh. I didn't see you" Alex blushed
"it's okay" Kid said giggling. “Why are you laughing?” Kid stopped giggling and smiled at Alex “Your blushing Lex” Alex realising he was blushing made him blush even more. “The temperature of my cheeks is not a laughing matter.” Kid ran his fingers through his hair “Shh, just play the record.”

Alex placed the record on the player. "So, Are you disappointed that I didn't get to meet ‘Tristan’” Kid smiled at Alex.

"No, I'm disappointed that I didn't get to see his face when you slid in like that! It looked so sweet!" Alex’s face glowed with excitement, Alex loved seeing Kid do tricks like that.
"You liked that?" Kid asked a little shy.
"It was amazing. Doesn't sliding in like that called something?" Alex lowered the volume on the player so it was just background music.
Kid made his way to the kitchen "I believe it's called a Tokyo slide or something similar to that."

Alex took his shoes off and walked to the couch and sat down. Kid came and sat next to him; placing two glasses of water on the table. He put his arm around Alex "We ran out of beer and you just got done with a test, water is best." Alex chuckled
"You made a rhyme." Kid rolled his eyes and smiled.

"When was the last time we turned on the TV?" Alex picked up the remote and looked over the buttons. "I think two weeks ago? We watched the breakfast club, then Sid and Nancy. Right?" Alex kissed Kids cheek "Why don't we watch another one?" Kid took his arm off Alex and stood up "Can't" Kid pulled off his jacket and walked over to his room. "Why? You get to go to work today?" Alex shifted towards the bedroom. "Yeah!" Alex heard the bathroom door shut. He picked his glass of water and took a sip. He put the remote down on the table with the water. Alex moved his hair out of his eyes. He is so glad he got that hair cut; Kid thinks he looks sexy with his hair like this. Actually Kids exact words were "Damn you look all grown up, and sexy."

"I have work at 4" Kid walked back into the room "what time is it now?" Alex checked his phone "it's 3 so you have an hour" he looked up at Kid "what do you want to do?" Kid pulled his bangs back and to the side. They folded over like a wave he laughed "maybe we can spike my hair like a unicorn?" Alex smiled trying not to laugh. He stood up and walked over to Kid "I like your hair un-unicorn-ified" Alex ran his fingers through the back of Kids hair “well I it's a spirit animal Alex you have to learn to embrace it.." Alex leaned against the back of the couch, partly sitting on it. Placing two hands on each side of him so he doesn't fall over.

"Maybe Alex you should become a unicorn as well" Alex tried so hard to keep a straight face "you might like being a unicorn, but I would poke someone's eye out" Alex said
"you can poke my eye out" Kid winked and Alex lost it, the two busted out into laughter.
"Why are we talking about this?" Alex laughed trying to speak "What would you rather do? Make out?" Kid said jokingly "That sounds nice" Alex smiled. They locked eyes and paused for a second. As if they were rockets both jumped and bolted to their bedroom attacking the bed.

_____________________________________________________

"Why do we always end up with our shirts off?" Alex was lying on the bed with his hands behind his head. Kid was at the foot of the bed putting his shirt back on. "Because you're really hot and I love hearing the noises you make when I give you a hickey on your chest." Alex looked down at the deep purple hickey below his shoulder and above his nipple. "Our neighbours must hate us.” He laughed looking back at Kid, Kid didn't say anything but smiled.

"Speaking of hickeys I'm sorry." Kid placed his hand on his neck running his fingers over the three hickeys Alex gave him "it's okay; I'm just going to get teased by the guys, mostly Zack or Rian." Kid picked up his jacket. "I'll see you later tonight if you're still awake." He walked over to the head of the bed, leaning down and giving Alex a kiss. "I might go to the music shop with my friends so don't get worried if I'm not here." Kid put on his jacket. "The shop you work at?"
"No it's a different one." Kid smiled "I didn't know there was a different one? Okay cool" he kissed Alex on the cheek and walked out of the room. Alex heard the front door open "HAVE FUN!" Kid yelled "YOU TOO!” He heard the door shut, Alex realised something about Kid. "bye?....." Alex said to the empty house.

____________________________________________________

-Wednesday -

Alex walked into the house with their mail in his hand, music was playing and Kid was in the kitchen singing off key at the top of his lungs. Alex walked up behind Kid and "Hey Kid-o!" Kid jumped and quickly turned around shocked until he saw that it was Alex

"I didn't hear you come in." Kid’s cheeks turned red and he bit his bottom lip. "I got the mail," Alex waved the mail. He turned and walked to the living room "What'd we get?" Kid stayed in the kitchen and put the few groceries he bought where they belonged. Alex walked over to the record player and turned the volume down before returning his attention to the mail. "Bill. Bill. Bank statement. Check from my mother... AGAIN..." Alex reached to the end of the pile; there was a blue and purple rectangular paper.

'Town Dance! The 7th ; the theme is Fancy and it will be held at the Independence Ball Room. Tickets bought at the door. RSVP for immediate tickets.'

The town dance, Alex remembered his teacher talking about it. Would Kid be willing to go to a Dance with him? When they moved in Kid dance with Alex at 2 or 3 in the morning but that doesn’t mean Kid’s into public dances. Alex has never been to a dance before; he didn't even attend his high school prom. One, Alex didn't like anyone at the time and two; he thought it would be embarrassing to go alone.

"Hey Kid?" Alex called out "Yeah Lex?" Kid walked into the living room "Are you doing anything the 7th? Do you work Saturdays I forgot." Kid hopped on the couch laying down and putting his hand behind his head "On this Saturday I don't think so. Why do you ask?"

"No reason.” Alex placed the mail down on the counter “See, there's this thing the in town on Saturday and my school is apart of it. Well it's not really in; it's kind of given by the town and school." Alex messed with the hem of his shirt. "What is it?" Kid sat up looking at Alex.
"Well it's this thing where you go and they play music and you're supposed to get all dressed up and do some kind of dance and then there's chicken." Alex was babbling. Kid furrowed his eyebrows "Chicken?" Alex became worried.

"Well I don't know if there's chicken. But at these kinds of things they often serve chicken because it's probably cheaper and people eat it, so the logic behind the chicken choice really isn't that bad." He was rambling on looking anywhere but at Kid. Kid raised an eyebrow "I'm lost."

"It’s a dance" Alex blurted out, "Ah" Kid pulled his hair back, it did that little flow.
Kid laid back down. Alex stepped standing next to the couch "And it's not like I'm dying to go or anything, but it is a new town and being a part of the social activities is really important." Kid sat up once again "So are you asking me to go to the dance with you?" Alex rubbed the back of his neck "No. Yes. I mean, if you wanted to go, I would go too." Kid looked up at Alex with love in his eyes, he smiled at the nervous boy in front of him

"Well that would probably be good since it's your school." Alex looked back down at Kid "Right. So do you want to go?"

“Honestly?"

"Yeah."

"I've actually never gone to a dance before." Kid confessed

"Because they're lame?" Alex stated as if he knew what Kid was thinking

"Yeah. And it's just not the way I ever wanted to spend my time. I mean, I'm not a big joiner." Alex knew this about Kid hence the reason why he was scared to ask him in the first place.
Kid likes to keep to himself or spend all his time with Alex; they never do much couple things in public. Sometimes he thinks Kid is scared he will be judged or something. Alex just never asked about it.

"Okay, fair enough." Alex said a little disappointed

"You want to go, don't you?" Kid smiled practically reading his mind.

"No. I don't. I have no desire to go at all. I was just thinking out loud, that's all." Alex didn't want to push Kid into doing anything he didn't want to do; but on the other hand doing just that is what started their relationship. Maybe it’s Alex’s turn to push Kid out of his comfort zone, if he even has one.

"So, uh, what would I have to wear?" Kid asked pulling Alex from his thoughts
"What?"
"To this dance. What would I have to wear?" he repeated

Alex shrugged his shoulders "Anything you want."

Kid lilted his head "Come on."

"No, really whatever you're comfortable in is fine." Alex was scared Kid would say no
"Lex..."

"Some sort of pants would be nice." Alex knew Kid would never go if he said what to wear

"Alex!"

"It's coat and tie." he closed his eyes afraid of what Kid would say.

"Oh man." Kid got up from the couch. Alex opened his eyes
"But you could probably get away with a coat and no tie." Alex tried to compromise.

Kid stopped in front of Alex" Okay"
Alex smiled wide "Really?!"
Kid smirked "Yeah."
Alex kissed Kid “Thank you!" he grabbed his phone and ran out the door
"You're- !” Kid yelled as Alex closed the door.
Kid was left alone in the living room “Welcome?”

____________________________________________________

"He said yes!?" Lane exclaimed ‘Why didn’t you tell me on Wednesday?! Its Friday Alex!” "Yeah sorry about that. Kid said he would wear a suite!"
Lane furrowed her brows "No tie?"
"No tie"
She grabbed his arm "EK! ALEX! We have to get you a suite! Black suite with a red waist coat. NO! Blue!" Lane was so exited
"Lane clam down... I don't have much money." Alex said shyly “I can’t buy a whole new suite, we might have to cut the waist coat. I already have slacks and we just need shirt and Tailor the overcoat”
"Come on well go to Ms. Paddy's. I bet you she has some old Dance waist coats."

"No Lane I'm new here and she might not know me and what if she doesn't like me? What if she doesn't like Kid! She could yell at me! Or you! She could kick us out!-” Lane laughed interrupting Alex. "And a Partridge in a pare tree!" she sang mocking Alex. Lane pulled Alex's arm "Come on Alex she is right there and she loves me!" ‘That’s because you’ve lived here since you were little” Lane pulled Alex across the street to Ms. Paddy "Lane no!" "MS. PADDY!!! MS. PADDY!" Lane called out.

Lane pulled Alex into Ms Paddy's dance studio "Yes darling?" Ms paddy said greeting Lane. She was a short lady with short dark red hair, odiously dyed. She was wearing a colourful silk dress. She had a cigarette stick thing that reminded Alex of Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmatians. "Who’s your friend?" She pointed to Alex, she made an interesting face. Ms Paddy obviously found Alex attractive "This is Alex, he's kind of shy but once you get to know him he never shuts up." Alex nudged Lane. "what? It's true" ms. Paddy laughed "now darling stop patronising the young man, what is it you came here for?" Alex opened his mouth to talk but was interrupted "Yeah! See Alex needs a suit for the town dace that he is going to with Kid."
"Kid?" Ms. Paddy asked
"That's his boyfriend. Alex doesn't have much money and this is his first dance and we were wondering is you had any extra waist coats we could borrow?"

"Hello Alex my name is Ms. Paddy and I would love to loan you a waist coat."
Alex put out his hand "Hello Ms. Paddy thank you for your kindness" Ms. Paddy looked at Alex’s hand
"Oh no sweetie we don't shake hands here." Alex looked down at his hand questionably Ms. Paddy put her cigarette out and stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Alex hugging him tight.

"Can’t. Breath." Alex said his lungs were being quashed.
"Oh sorry Darling. Here follow me" Ms. Paddy turned around and Alex looked at Lane, she was smiling. They walked over to a chest that was in the corner. "Thank you Ms. Paddy" Lane said. "Anything for you dear. To bad your friend over there is taken. He's a cutie" Ms Paddy winked at Alex and walked away. Lane was already on her knees digging through the chest. Alex watched as Ms Paddy walked away, he looked around the room. There were photos all around the studio, photos of her young. Places she has been and danced at. They were beautiful. He started thinking of how she flirted with him. Alex thought about Kid.

"Oh my god" Alex said lightly blushing "Don't freak out Alex, She acts like that will every cute boy she sees." Lane didn't even look up at Alex her face was so deep in the clothes chest. "No- it's not that it's... You told her I had a boyfriend and she didn't even bat an eye."

"I told you Alex, people are nice here, if you and Kid ever left your house you would've know that by now" Alex laughed at Lane; all him and Kid ever do is leave their home. Always going on adventures, finding new places, taking photos and putting them on Kids wall. This will be one of the first times Kid and Alex show their relationship in front of people they weren't close with. "I FOUND IT!" Lane quickly shot up and turned around, she was holding a maroon waist coat; it didn't have a shine on it so Alex assumed it was made of cotton. It had one black button in the middle, it was perfect.

"Lane it's amazing!" Alex smiled and hugged her. "Now Alex, you have the whole suit, you're going to look amazing at the dance." Alex Laughed "Okay thank you, you really do like this looking for clothes dressing me thing don't ya?" Lane started to put all the other clothes back in the chest. "I have a religious Korean mom who thinks fries are the devils fingers, this is the most entertaining thing I have" Alex smiled and got on his knees helping Lane put the clothes away. "I wish I could find a boyfriend like Kid." Alex closed the chest and folded the waist coat. "What do you mean?" Lane grabbed Alex hand and pulled him out of Ms Paddy's. They walked together. "Kid is so perfect for you Alex. When you guys are together you glow with happiness. I've also noticed when you're together; Kid can't take his eyes off of you. He can't stop looking at you and smiling, when we went to Luke's I could see all he wanted to do was hold you."

Alex smiled; he never really noticed this about Kid. He never really knew how deep Kids love for him was. Alex guessed the carving on the tree should've given it away. Or the dance at 2 in the morning. Maybe it was the fact that Kid had shown Alex his enchanted place when, Kid said he never brought anyone there. Alex started remembering all the wonderful things Kid has done. The memories were gliding through his mind, painting a perfect image of each one.
The late walk home from the park, Kid asked Alex if he wanted a ride. They ended up talking about their interests, I like Johnny Tremaine! Alex smiled. Kid was nothing but 'the boy' then.
He remembered going to the park to see Kid, he got there early because he didn't trust himself on what time Kid actually said. He remembered getting on Kids bike for the first time, how the wind scared him at first and Kid laughed.
Alex's memories kept coming. The mountain with the Camera, Moving in together, their songs.
Alex thought about all the things Kid has done that showed his love, but Alex narrowed it down to one....

The wall

Kids bedroom wall, their Memory wall. Kid took Alex to amazing places and took photos of him. Kid displayed his love that way; he put the photos on his wall. Kid captured the memories, Alex loved that about him. Alex thought to himself if Kid knew that he loved him too. But he knew. Kid knows. Alex's eyes began to sting with tears of happiness, he did not blink. Dare he not shed a tear.

"-and I think the reason Kid doesn't talk so much is because he likes hearing you." Lane seems to notice more things about Kid then Alex does. But sometimes love can blind someone I guess. "He is always listening to everything you say, you can see him thinking when you talk, like he is trying to memorise your voice. As if he is going to forget it, as if it’s the last time he will hear it, like you're saying goodbye."

Alex felt his heart beat, he began to miss Kid. He didn't like being away from him, he didn't like not having Kid with him. He felt different now, realising how much Kid meant to him.

They turned the corner onto Alex's street walking towards his apartment.
"Maybe I should start hanging around that old park of yours" Lane lightly nudged Alex. He laughed "you mean the park up there?" Alex pointed forward past the apartment towards the tree park Kid took Alex to. Lane rolled her eyes "You know what I mean, a place where I can find someone like kid"
"you'll find someone like that Lane, I just got lucky and found mine sooner. There will be someone like Kid that will sweep you off your feet. Granted he won't be JUST like Kid cause let’s face it, Kid is pretty strange, but I know you will find someone"

Lane smiled at Alex, pulling her long black hair behind her ear "you really think so?"
Alex smiled back "I know so" Lane stopped walking and hugged Alex.
"thank you Lex," Lane turned her head and looked at Alex's apartment complex then back at him. "Well I better get going my mom is making flaxseed sandwiches for dinner and if I'm late she will make me eat what's left over for lunch." Alex sniffled his nose "Bring you pizza tomorrow?" Lane lowered her voice "ugh yes please" They hugged one last time then lane said goodbye. She took one stepped forward then stopped "I almost forgot" Lane pulled out a yellow shirt from her bag, she put it on... It read 'find yourself in God' "Can't go home wearing a Dead Kennedy's shirt on now can I?" Alex laughed "No you can not"
"goodnight Alex", he waved "Night Lane"

Alex walked through the parking lot and up the stairs, he felt his heart suddenly change it's beating pattern. He stopped at the top of the stair case. Feeling, listening to his heart, it was almost rhythmic.
Alex felt something spark inside of him, a click or an idea. 'Show him I love him'
Alex made his way to the door, pushing it open. He set his bag on the floor in front of the records. He pulled off his jacket and tossed it over the couch. Alex pulled at his shirt and licked his lips.
"Hey Lex"
Kid came from out of the hallway, away from what is now the storage room. He was wiping his hands with a cloth drying dry them off. Kid was wearing nothing but jeans, shirtless…
Alex stopped for a second looking Kid over; his shoulders, his chest, his stomach, and his beautiful hips. Alex tilted his head locking his eyes with Kids. Kid looked at Alex, and he saw it. Alex he saw the light behind Kids eyes. He felt the love, He felt the joy Kid had to see him. He saw the love within his small smile. Kid tossed the cloth off to the side, Alex stayed in his trance counting over all the places he saw love. He felt, kinda like he was flying. For a moment Alex forgot there were other people on this planet, he forgot about the past and the now. He lost himself in Kid.

Alex took a big step toward Kid, he got on his tippy toes and wrapped his arms around Kid holding him tight. Kid tilted forward so Alex could reach better, he wrapped his arms around Alex's waist pulling their hips together. "I love you Kid" Alex muffed into Kids neck. Alex's hot breath on Kids neck made him shutter a little. For a moment he felt awkward being shirtless but he ended not caring. "I-I love you too Lex, is there something wrong? Did something happen?" Alex shook his head not letting go of Kid "I just love you" His voice was soft almost child like. Kid couldn't help but smile and hold Alex tighter. It became a moment.
You know, those moments when you hug someone and you don't want to let go? You know that you'll have to let go at some point but you can't bring yourself to do it? You just want the hug to last? This is that moment.

They both stood in silence for awhile not letting go; Kid was lost in Alex's breathing. He had his eyes close, listening to Alex breathe. Alex noticed something, the beating in his heart... It matched Kids... They were on the same beat pattern.
Alex pulled back a little and looked at Kid, their faces inches apart. Alex looked up at Kid, light bouncing off them giving them a shine. He spoke, barley a whisper. "thank you"

Alex pulled Kid down and kissed him. The kiss sent fire to Alex's heart spreading the heat thought his body causing him to go week in the knees. He pulled at Kids hair moving their lips together. Kid slid his fingers under Alex's shirt running them across his hips and lower back. Squeezing at his hips Kid pulled away, but now to far, keeping their faces close. Breathing deeply Alex let go of Kids hair, resting his hand on the back of Kids neck.

He didn't like the silence, he wanted to hear Kid. He wanted Kids voice recorded in his mind.

Alex tried to find his voice but the only thing have came out was a breathy whisper
"Kid?"
Kid tilted forward pushing their foreheads together. He mimicked Alex, staying quite
"Yeah?"
Alex smiled, realising he really didn't have anything to say.
"nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice"
Kid smiled, knowing the feeling.
"I love you Kid"
Kid couldn't help but smile,
"words can't begin to describe how I feel about you"
He kissed Alex on the nose
"the only word that comes to mind at the moment is protect"

____________________________________________________

There it was, it was the day of the dance.

Kid left to barrow his friends truck again, the one that helped them move. Alex stayed behind to get ready. He looked himself over in their bathroom mirror. Alex examined his hair looking for anything wrong, but he couldn't, almost Photoshop perfect. The maroon cotton waistcoat complemented his caramel hair perfectly. He felt surreal, like someone in a love movie. Alex walked into the living room putting on his over coat. It was chilly outside and Kid didn't want to drive his motorcycle and have the wind make them colder.

He said he didn't want Alex to get a cold. Alex heard a honk telling him Kid was outside. He opened the door and ran outside. Running down the stairs looking at his feet making sure he doesn't fall.
He hurried to the running car and got it, warming up his hands and buckling himself in.
"You look nice"
Alex looked over at Kid, he was smiling. He couldn't help but blush
"T-Thanks Kid, you look nice too"
Kid smiled and put the car in drive. Taking off out of the parking and down the street.

The ride was quite for most of the time, the low radio in the background made the silence less awkward.
The closer they god to the dance the more nervous Alex became; he knew they were close and he was starting to second guess himself. He started biting him lips and picking at the skin around his thumb. He even had to force himself not to run his fingers through his perfect hair.

They drove to the front of the building, the truck slowing down to a halt. Alex looked at the people walking in..... Each couple he saw, one boy, one girl. All boys in nice suits and girls in beautiful dresses. Maybe its against the rules to have two boys together at the dance? What if they get kicked out? Alex knows Kid cant handle yelling, kid cant get yelled at! What if someone yells at Kid!

"Maybe we should just forget about this" Alex blurted breaking the silence
"Okay" Kid responded casually, fully okay to go along with what Alex wants
"I mean, it's just a dance. What's the big deal?"

Kid shrugged his shoulders "Beats me."

"And these people at my school - awful. Have you seen The Outsiders?"
Kid smiled at Alex's nervousness "Yeah, I have."
"Just call me Ponyboy… I heard this place is beautiful though - old and historic." Alex was rambling at this point, stalling. Changing the subject so much that it was hard for Kid to keep up.

Kid looked at Alex “Huh. That's cool"

“Maybe we could just go in for a minute." Alex began to fight to make up his mind. He was scared to be judged. He's never been to a dance, let alone with another boy!
"Fine." Kid unbuckled himself and Alex did the same. Just as Kid was about to open the door to step out Alex spoke again
"Or not."
Kid rolled his eyes "Fine too."
Alex bite his finger and turned to Kid "I don't know. Why can't I decide? This is stupid. What do you think?"
Kid looked at Alex, he leaned over a planted a light kiss on his cheek "I think that you look amazing."
Alex blushed "Maybe just a couple minutes won't hurt."

Kid and Alex got out of the car walking around to the front. Kid stopped and stuck his elbow out, reaching for Alex. Alex smiled and linked his arm with Kids, just like every other couple they saw walking in. They walked up the stairs and into the old building. There was a man at the door, he took their coats and they boys were on their way.
They stopped by the stair case inside, one the sidelines of the room not to draw attention.

"Well it's a very good room." Alex said looking around trying to avoid the questionable stares
"Looks historical."
"I commend the person that suggested this very location."
Kid could notice Alex how uncomfortable Alex was here. Kids never been to a dance, he felt useless on how to help Alex. He didn't know how these things work.

"So, we could just get our picture taken and leave." Kid suggested
"We could." Kid could see that was not what Alex wanted. He wanted to make Alex happy… Its times like this Kid wished he took up that mind reading class.
"Or we could dance a little first." Kid said pulling Alex in front of his wrapping his arms around Alex's waist
Alex tilted his head up and looked back at Kid "Yeah?"
"I stress a little." Kid used a stern voice making his point clear.
"Something slow." Alex smiled
"That sounds good." Kid let his head fall and kissed Alex not caring who saw.

And as promised they waited, for their slow song. Alex and Kid were sitting at a table picking at the snacks that was provided. Alex was surprised he could get Kid to sit still for so long. Here is this man that strives to cause a riot where ever he goes, sitting still at a town dance. Alex didn't know how bad Kid was itching to do something.

He was bored! Bored at looking at all the other couples dancing. Bored at how unhappy Alex looked. He wanted to do something! Wanted to do something special! Alex’s is the most perfect person here and Kid doesn’t even get to show him off. Kid looked around trying to come up with something to do for Alex. Kid’s eyes wandered Alex's plate and noticed that it was almost empty; this is his chance to make a move. Kid stood up and grabbed Alex's plate, Alex looked away from the dancers. "I'm going to get more food. Okay Lex?"
Alex forced a smile "okay." Kid nodded and walked away.
He walked slow and with the pace of everyone else. After a few steps Kid looked over shoulder at Alex. Alex was looking else were. Kid discarded the plate on the nearest table.
He walked over to a wall and ripped part of the dance poster off. He pulled a pen out of his pocket and wrote something on it. He folded the paper and rummaged through his pocket. He pulled out a 20$ bill and placed it on top of the paper.

Alex had his elbow on the table holding his head up with his hand; guess he should have known that a dance like this would be boring. He knows Kid isn't having a good time but he can't bring himself to leave. Alex watched all the couples dancing and talking, laughing and kissing. Having a grant old time, and then there's Alex and Kid. Can you say 'bored to death party of 2'. Kid left, still isn’t back. Bet he got so bored he went outside to see the grass grow. Alex was just about to get up and find Kid so he could tell him that they could leave, but then he heard it.

There's no time for us' Alex lifted his head and his heart froze.

"So... How about that dance?" Alex turned around in his seat to see Kid standing with his hand out? Alex’s mouth hung open, he was speechless.

"Did you do this?"

There’s no place for us

"Come on, we're gonna miss our song"

Alex took kids hand, Kid smiled and they walked to the dance floor.

What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us

Kid pulled one and up and put the other on Alex's waist. Alex blushed and put his hand on Kids shoulder.

Who wants to live forever

Kid smiled at how happy Alex was, he was in a funny mood. Kid sang along to the next lyric

who wants to live forever! oo! Oo! Oo! (oo like poo' not ooh)

Alex smiled as the beautiful guitar kicked in, he locked eyes with Kid

"Hey, if I kiss you is a nun gonna appear and boot me out of here?" Kid whispered trying not to ruin the moment

Alex lightly laughed at Kids humor "It's not a Catholic school Kid, it’s a town dance"

"So I can kiss you?" Kid lightly squeezed at Alex's hips.
"Yeah, you can kiss me."

There's no chance us

Jack smirked "Good" He tilted his head down and kissed Alex, not to deep but just enough to satisfy the two of them. No one likes to see a gay couple furiously make out at a dance now do they?

It's all decided for us

The kiss ended and Alex rested his head on Kids shoulder, the two swaying back and forth.

This world has only one sweet moment, set aside for us

The words triggered something inside of them, painting a picture of them in their apartment. The day they moved in together. It was as if they were reliving it, that there was no dance, no people. Just them in their pajamas dancing at 3 in the morning to Queen. Kid had his eyes closed, so did Alex. Both smiling, they canceled out everyone else. Only hearing the music and the other persons breathing. Alex couldn’t stay quite, he want Kid to hear his voice.

Who wants to live forever

Alex whispered the lyrics under his breath.
Who dares to love forever OOOOH WOAH WOOOOOOAH! When love must die...

The drums kicked and Kid pulled back, pushing Alex out then back towards him. Showing off the dancing skills Alex never knew Kid had.

And touch my tears... With your lips.

He lifted up his arms and opened his legs, spinning Alex once around then pulling themselves closely back together.

Touch my world, with your finger tips!

Kid pulled Alex and turned dancing. The scene reminded him of how Cinderella and her Prince danced the night off the ball. Turning and dancing in circles, taking over the floor as if they were the only ones there.

And we can have forever!
Their eyes locked, swaying and swirling, absolutely wonderful

And we can love forever! Forever! Is ours today!

Kid pulled them back close together and the room exploded, no trace of the dance was in Alex’s mind. He closed his eyes and all he saw was that night.. the night they moved in together.

Alex was going to tell Kid he loved him…

Alex smiled, he knew.

When I’m gone.

They both closed their eyes and just listened to the song, Kid’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. One that is created with love and care.

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. One he will never let go of. One he can’t let go of. Alex’s suit disappeared and was replaced with his old pajama’s.
He saw Kid…hair was messy and he was wearing a baggy grey AC/DC shirt with striped baggy pajama pants.

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

Alex tighten his grip on Kid and smiled, trying not to cry.

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

Kid’s eyes were also closed, painting the same image as Alex, Kid kissed the top of Alex head.

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”
Kid chocked on air, surprised that Alex’s remembers what they promised that night.
He whispered in Alex’s ear “For always, Alex”

The song stopped and the boys pulled away from eachother. It was quite for a split second then the room around them began to roar. The boys broke eye contact and looked around at the clapping and cheering crowed around them.


"So, Ponyboy, you happy?" Kid smile referencing earlier
Alex smiled "Yeah, I'm happy."

The songs ended quicker then they anticipated, but when you’re flying in could nine you purpose everything goes by quicker. After the dance Alex really didn’t care who saw him with Kid. He loved him and he was having a good time with him and that was all that mattered.
They sat back down at a table and talked for a little while; a few girls went by and complemented them on their dancing. The complements were starting to bug Kid but he just brushed them off, until this one girl came

"You guys are so brave coming here and doing something like that. I was shocked on how open you guys were about it. The dance was amazing by the way."

"T-thank you" Alex said shyly, she smiled and walked off

" So, uh, you want to maybe go?"

Alex turned back around at Kid "You're bored. I'm sorry. Yeah, let's go, right away."

"I'm not bored. I thought, you know, there's still a little time left, maybe we could get a cup of coffee somewhere, hang out a little, talk and walk. You know, just us."

Alex smiled at the idea of walking at night with Kid "That'd be nice." Alex went to go get up from his chair
"No, you stay. I'll get the coats."
Alex nodded and Kid walked off.

He maneuvered his was past the people to the front. He gave the man a piece of paper and waited as he retrieved their coats. Surely enough he came back with a right coats. Kid thanked the man and walked off. Only to be stopped half way by a blonde boy not that much shorter than him.

"You know, we haven't met." the blonde said almost snotty like

"No, we haven't." Kid was utterly confuse
The blonde stuck his hand out for a hand shake "I'm Tristan"

Kids widen his eyes realising who he is talking to "Ah, yes we have."

Tristan put his hands down a furrowed his brows confused "What are you talking about?"

"Alex's mentioned you."

"Oh yeah?" Tristan lightly smiled, the smile only made Kid sort of mad.

"Yeah. I wouldn't get quite so excited about it."

"Oh, why, did he say something mean?" Tristan pouted his lip

"he said you're a jackass." Kid shrugged his shoulder and widen his eyes, being cocky

"Really?"
"Actually, no, Rory doesn't use words like that. I embellished a little." Kid smirked

"Oh so you're the big strong protector? Little princess needs a protector?" Tristan mimicked Kid tone.
"What's your problem, man?" Kid looked around at the few eyes collecting at them.

" Nothing. Just don't like your Boyfriend, that's all."

Kid laughed "Really? Doesn't look that way to me."

"I don't really care how it looks to you."

"Hey. You got in my path, not the other way around." Kid started to walk away, before something spiraled, he wasn't in the mood to argue. Tristan stepped right in Kids way.

Kid rolled his eyes "You're kidding right?"

"Why, are you going somewhere?" Tristan acting like a complete Ass was really starting to get on Kids nerve. Tristan is trying to act tough, his stupid 5'9 ass.

"Get out of my way Dristan." Kid did t care about being polite at this point, he just wanted to get away from this jerk

"Oh, aren't you clever." Alex saw the commotion and realised it was Kid and Tristan, not a very good combination Alex hurried over there and stepped to the side between them. He didn't want to stand completely between them, that would be dangerous

"Hey, what's going on?" Alex said placing a hand on Kids shoulder

"Nothing." Tristan interrupted, even though the question wasn't for him. "Just getting to know your boyfriend here".
Kid handed Alex his Jacket "It's going really well, don't you think?"

"Oh yeah. We're just about to build a clubhouse." Tristan smiled

"okay Well I hate to break up the party, but we should go." Alex smiled awkwardly and pulled at Kid

"Oh, why? Little boy's got to be home?" Tristan got in Alex's face smirking

"Stop." Kid pulled Alex towards him. Tristan looked back at Kid

" No, I think you two make a very cute couple. Is your horse and buggy parked outside? Got to get home for the barn raising?" Kid rolled his eyes and brushed Tristan off, he turned to Alex
"Let's go." Alex nodded his head. Kid and Alex begin to walk away but Tristan steps In Front of Alex, shoving his face close to Alex's. For a second Alex thought Tristan was going to kiss him. Kid stepped forward and shoved Tristan away from Alex, Almost knocking him off his feet.

Kid raised his voice volume and made his voice deeper, a natural thing that happens when boys get mad. Kids voice got deep and it frighten Alex a little bit, he never saw Kid mad like this.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Tristan walked back over to Kid pointing his finger at Kid “Okay, you will not push me again."

Kid clenched his fist in anger "Are you seriously trying to act tough?" He pointed at Tristan's chest "You're wearing a tie for God's sake."

Tristan pointed towards the doors "Outside! Now!"

The music abruptly stopped and the people around them started to stare at the two boys.

"I'm not fighting you. It'd be like fighting an accountant! I'll call you when I need my taxes done."
Tristan lunges at Kid grabbing his shoulders; Kid goes to push Tristan down but few other boys and a man to separate them. They had their arms around Kids arms restraining them.

"You don't want to fight me Tristan!" Kid yelled kicking his feet up

"Why not?" Tristan yelled at Kid trying to break free

Kid pushed his arms forward breaking free of the boys grasps. "'Cause I'll kill you, idiot!" Alex widen his eyes, Kids voice was deep and loud. This scared Alex because he knew that Kid wasn't joking... He could tell, a d Kid would lie...

Kid grabbed Alex hand "Come on, Alex, let’s go." Alex nodded and grabbed Kids hand

As Alex and Kid walk away, Tristan broke free from the people holding him back. He took a step towards Alex and Kid. Kid turned around getting in Tristan's face.

"You will not come near him. Ever again."

Kid tugged at Alex's hand and they walked out of the building

_____________________________________________


Kid and Alex were driving in the truck. Alex felt really bad, he didn't expect anything like that to happen.
"I'm sorry Kid I didnt -"
"Let's not talk about it okay? Let's act like that never happen and we just left in peace okay? We don't want something like that to ruin our night now do we?"

Alex tugged on his jacket "No we don't"
"Good" Kid laughed and took a sharp left away from their house Alex looked behind him then back at Kid, he furrowed his brows trying to make sense of what he was doing.
"Uh Kid... The house is back that way" Alex pointed. "I know" he smirked
Kid leaned over and opened the glove box, pulling out a scarf "blindfold yourself with this."
Alex took the scarf "Why do I need to wear a blindfold?"
"Haven’t you learned by now not to ask questions?"

Alex sighed and tied on the blind fold, not being able to see made him a little nervous. He listened to the car’s engine. Every slight bump or turn scared Alex the slightest bit. Alex played with his hair and bit at him lip. He played with his fingers trying not to become impatient.

"Aiden?"
"Nope"
"Tyler?"
"Uh... Nah"
"....mmmmh... Ricky?"
"Yes!"
"Really!!!"
Kid laughed "No" Alex pouted and crossed his arms.

“Kid, you told me that you wanted to show me the world and here you are blindfolding me? Maybe my friends where right? Maybe you are a murderer and you’re going to sell my organs to the black market?”

Alex heard Kid chuckle “Oh no! You got me!”
Alex smiled

"Hey Lex?"
Alex turned his head and tilted his head up trying to look through the bottom of the scarf
He heard Kid laugh "Put your head down, I don't want to talk to your nostrils."

Alex laughed and put his head down "sorry Now what did you want to say?"

"Do you remember the day we met?"
The day they met? How could he ever forget it "Yeah I remember it, why wouldn't I?"
"Well that was almost a year and a half ago I didn't know if you remembered."

The truck slowed down and Alex heard Kid turn the truck off.
"Why are you mentioning it? It was the day my life changed forever, why would I ever forget it?"
Well I thought since today we danced to our song, it reminded me of the night we moved in together. Then I was thinking about how we met, and I thought we would take a stroll down memory lane."

Alex's mouth drop in realisation "No, we're not where we think we are."
Kid scooted over and untied Alex's blindfold. Alex was right.

There it was, the exact same way Alex remembered it was. The tower where Alex used to sit with his friends and the swing set Kid sat on. It was all there, feels like forever since Alex has been here.
Alex spoke, his voice barely audible "Oh Kid…"

Alex opened the truck door and ran outside. He ran straight to the tower energy bursting inside of him! He felt like a young boy again! Memories of life before Kid flooded his mind as he climbed up the ladder. Him at his friends just sitting and talking. When they were 13 and Max raided his dads liquor cabinet and they got drunk for the first time. The time Vin got his dick stuck in the side... Don't ask. All amazing memories that this place holds. The laughing and the music! This one tower holds all of Alex’s closest memories. The moon light up the park like a fairytale

Alex got to the top of the ladder and ran to the centre of the tower spinning around. He stopped and looked down at his spot. The railing.... He walked over to it and leaned over it sticking his arms out. He closed his eyes and stuck his arms out.

"Am I flying Jack?"

*click click*

Alex opened his eyes and looked down. Kid had the camera up to his eye; he lowered the camera and smiled. "No Rose, humans can't fly. Dumb twat"

"Do you ever go anywhere without that?" Kid smiled at looked at the camera "Nope"
Alex crossed his arms over the railing leaning down and looking down at Kid
"Why didn't you laugh at my movie reference?"
Kid slung the camera across his back and began walking towards the ladder, he slowly pulled himself up.
"Because, you know I fucking hate the Titanic movie."
Alex devilishly smirked "AND I KNOW THAT MY HEART WILL, GO ONN!!!” Alex belted the lyrics making Kid give him an 'are you fucking serious right now' face.

Alex laughed and stumbled over to Kid.
"Aww come one Kid-o, I was just joking." He kissed Kids cheek and Kid tried to ignore him by looking at the photos he took on the camera.
"Well if your going to sing at least sing something good, don't waste that lovely voice on a song no one likes to hear."

"People like that song!"
Kid rolled his eyes "Balthazar un-sank the Titanic because he hated the song so much."
"What?" Alex furrowed his brows
"Never mind, just sing a different song."

Alex smiled and whispered in his hear. “Hello there, the angel to my nightmare.” Alex kissed Kids cheek “The shadows in the background of the morn" He took a step back and smiled at Kid who's attention he now has.
"the unsuspecting victim, of darkness in the valley"
Kid smiled and put the Camera down letting the sling catch it.

"WE CAN LIVE LIKE JACK AND SALLY IF WE WANT!!!"
Kid sat down as the camera rested in his lap. Alex sang and waved his arms like a little boy, feeling alive as he did so.

*click click* Alex stopped singing; he knew Kid wouldn't stop taking pictures.

"That one is going on the wall." Kid smirked

Kid lowered the camera and looked at Alex, he was smiling. To Kid that seems to be all Alex ever does. He wasn't complaining, he loves Alex's smile. He loves Alex and everything to do with Alex.

You see, Kid hasn't had a lucky childhood. He didn't get a dad that went to work or a mom that cooked dinner. Kid loves his mother never the less, but mostly because she is his mother and that's the extent of his love. Kid wasn't blessed like Alex.

He had a mother and mother’s boyfriend, Russ, who could never remember Kids name. They weren’t poor but they weren’t rich either. Kid’s childhood still affects him even if he doesn't notice it.
For example, the reason why Kid doesn't talk much to other people is because when he was younger Russ would constantly watch TV. If Kid did as much as sneeze Russ would yell at him or ground him, no physical abuse, just verbal, witch is practically the same in his eyes. Russ never once laid a hand on Kid; He just made Kids life a living hell.

Or the reason why he doesn't like staying in the house for to long. He didn't have many friends, they thought Kid was weird and poor, so he would play outside and go on adventures.

Not having much in his life, Alex is everything to Kid.

Kids tighten his shoes and followed Alex across a bridge, not once talking the camera off of him. Alex turned around as Kid watched him through the view finder he was smiling very wide. Alex stopped walking for a second and whispered three words, three words that would stick with Kid forever.

"Show me more" and he smiled.

Kid pushed his finger down and captured it, the beautiful moment that will later be his life's goal.


Alex ran and Kid followed him, He took photos of Alex swinging and spinning. Alex sang some more and managed to get the camera from Kid, snapping a few photos of him and one of them kissing. Everywhere Alex went he told a story, there seems to be a story behind every piece of equipment in this park. Kid’s personal favourite is the swing set where Alex busted his head open, latter to be replaced with the memory of Kid. It made Kid happy that such a painful memory was replaced with a loving one.

Once Alex was tired out they made their way back to the tower and laid on their backs, head touching and hands together. Moments went by as Kid and Alex listened to the few cars that drove down pass them.

Kid was lost in his thoughts and then it truck him… this is the moment.

“Hey Lex?” Kid said sitting up. Alex sat up with him, he let go of Kids hand
“Yeah?”

Kid reached into his pocket and pulled something out, keeping it enclosed in his hand so Alex couldn’t see.

“When I was younger, I was really close with my grandmother. She always told me that I would do great thing and that I would change people’s lives. She told me that one day I would find someone that loved me as much as I loved them. She told me that once I meet someone like that, someone who never fails to amaze me. Someone who will love going on adventures, someone who will always ask for more, someone who would never say goodbye… She told me once I found them… to give them this.”

Kid rose his hand up and opened it, necklace falling out, Kid held the top between two fingers as the gem hung from its silver chain.

“I think she meant you”

Alex carefully placed his hands under the necklace and Kid dropped it into his hands.

“I-Its… I don’t know what to say?”

Kid kissed Alex’s cheek “Shh, just put it on?”

Alex slipped the necklace over his head and smiled down at it.

“You are wonderful Kid”
“You’re wonderful Alex”

“Is that why you never say goodbye?”
“What?”
“Is that why you never say goodbye” Alex repeated…

“I never felt the need to say that… it never felt right, it still doesn’t feel right”

Alex smiled ‘Then what do we say?”
Kid kissed Alex and smiled

“We say I’m allergic to bees”
Alex laughed “No Kid really, what do we say”

“We say…” Kid smiled as he looked into Alex’s eyes

“When we meet again”
