Life isn't a fashion statement.

Alex's POV

I was home alone since Jack had a meeting at work.
The downside about living in a big apartment is that fact the place is always quiet when one of us isn't here and the fact I have to get dressed and go to the ground floor and get the post, but most of the people living in the building are used to seeing either me or Jack coming down in just shorts to get our post.

I was looking through the post as I went back upstairs when I saw on a dressed to me and Jack.
"Strange." I muttered to myself since most of the post actually went to Jack and I hardly got any.
I looked at my phone to see what the time was and I saw that Jack had texted Mr saying he was out of his meeting and was just finishing up some stuff off before he came home.
I didn't care that he had stuff to do I had to call him because I did miss him when he wasn't here.
I walked into our apartment kicking the door behind me as I called Jack and still looking through the post.

"Hey Lex." Jack said after a few rings.
"Hey Jack." I said and smiled when I heard his voice.
"Miss me much by any chance?" Jack chuckled.
"Always do when your not by me." I said and I could hear Jack smile at the other end of the phone.
"So some mail came in the post." I said as I sat round the island in the kitchen and frowned when the flowers Jack got me wasn't in the right place.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Jack asked confused.
"Something came and it was addressed to me and you." I said.
"Well why don't you open it then." Jack said.
"Because its your post." I said and messed with the letter.
"If its addressed to you as well then you can open it as well Lex, you don't need my permission to open it. Its the same with all my post I have nothing to hide and if you want to open my post then you can knock yourself out." Jack said and I smiled.
"So do you want me to open it then?" I asked and bit my lip.
"Sure knock yourself out." Jack said and I held my phone between my shoulder while I opened the letter.
I pulled the letter out and saw it was a invitation.
" Jack its a invitation to a party." I said.
"Well read it out to me then. I like it when you read." Jack said and that made me smile and blush a little.
"Okay, Dear Mr Barakat and Mr Gaskarth,
You are both invited to the winter ball.." I said and stopped and frowned a lot.
"Why'd you stop reading?" Jack asked.
"Can you come home now?" I asked ignoring Jacks question.
"Yeah I'm just about done now anyway. I'll see you in half an hour." Jack said.
"Okay, be safe and love you." I said and I sensed Jack smiled.
"Always am and love you too." Jack said and I smiled and hung up and sat there and looked at this invite.

I was sat outside reading miles away in the book enjoying the background noise of the busy streets.
"Babe!?" I heard Jack say loudly as he walked through the house and he walked towards me as he walked outside undoing his tie and throwing it on the floor as he walked over.
I smiled and folded the corner of my book and put the book on the floor and got up and walked over to Jack and hugged him which he returned.
"So you never finished reading that invite to me." Jack said and I looked at him.
"Felt like it should of been you reading it." I said and Jack smiled.
"You can read my post, I seriously don't care because its nothing interesting." Jack said and I chuckled softly.
"So a winter ball then, Christ it means I have to wear a suit and not get drunk, pretty shit." Jack said and I laughed.
"A masked winter ball, damn that means you have to hide that pretty face of yours." Jack said and looked at me which made me blush a little.
"Can say the same to you." I said and wrapped my arms round his neck and messed with his hair on the back of his head.
"We still have a few weeks to think about it." Jack said and I smiled and kissed him which he returned.

"Think we should get a dog or something." I said as I sorted tea out while Jack was frowning at his phone.
"Why'd you say that?" Jack asked and looked at me.
I lent against the side and carried in what I was doing.
"Because its quiet and lonely when your not here. There's inky so much I can do in this house." I said and Jack hummed.
"If you want a dog what do you want?" Jack asked.
"I was thinking about one of them really small rat dogs." I said and Jack looked at me with a you got to be kidding look on his face.
"We're not getting a rat dog, if we're getting a dog then its going to be something I'll trip over because I can't see the bloody thing." Jack aid and I chuckled.
"We could get a Bichon Frise." I said and waited for Jack response.
"Look, I know I'm gay I don't want a dog clearly showing that I'm the gayest twat going." Jack said and I had to laugh at that.
"But you are the gayest twat going." I said and Jack looked at me.
"You can't exactly talk." Jack said.
"Okay name one thing I do which shows how gay I am then." I said.
"The way your eyes light up when they see my dick." Jack said and I threw the towel at him which missed him.
"Your exactly the same. Part from you swing your hips around when you walk meaning your ass looks very good." I said and Jack smiled.
I put the food in a pan and left it there too cook and I walked over to Jack and sat on his knee and stole his laptop which was sat on the island.

We had moved fro the kitchen to the sitting room looking at what dogs we both wanted.
I also gave with with cooking so we ordered a takeaway instead.
"All the dogs you want drool. Its hard work keeping the place clean as it is." I said and Jack looked at me.
"There's only two of us, we don't make that much mess." Jack said and I looked at him.
"Says the guy who leaves his dirty clothes in the floor in the bathroom and bedroom rather than put it in the wash baskets." I said.
Jack rolled his eyes at me.
"I don't want a dog that'll hog the bed since you hog the bed all the time." Jack said and I chuckled and started to mess with his hair.
"I only do it to be close to you and you keep me warm." I said and kissed Jacks cheek.
"What all off the bed leaving me on the verge of falling out of bed." Jack said.
"Then just push me over then." I said.
"I do and get moaned at by you." Jack said and I frowned at him.
Jack kissed my forehead and we spent the night looking and aruging about what dog we wanted.
