Life isn't a fashion statement.

Jacks POV

"What if your family doesn't like me." Alex said as we walked through the airport to check ourselves in for our flight.
"I'm sure they'll love you." I said and caught hold of Alex's hand.
"My own family couldn't love me what makes you think that your family will love me as well." Alex said and looked at me.
"If you don't mind me saying this, but your family are assholes and really don't realise what a amazing person you are." I said and Alex scoffed.
"There really is nothing amazing about me." Alex said and I walked behind him and hugged him and kissed his cheek.
"There is trust me." I said and kissed his cheek again and moved back to his side and caught hold of his hand.

"I would of been happy in coach Jack." Alex said as we walked to first class.
"Well tough tits, you're not in coach." I said and Alex just rolled his eyes.
I walked over to this woman and got me and Alex a glass of champagne and walked back over to Alex who took the glass from me.
"So tell what I've got myself in for. I need to know these things." Alex said as we sat down and Alex wrapped his leg round mine and lent in my side.
"My two older brothers are identical twins, they are both 28 and their names are Eric and Rowan." I said.
"Aw little Jacky is the baby." Alex chuckled.
"But I'm defiantly the better looking one." I said and Alex laughed softly and kissed my cheek.
"Yes you are." Alex said quietly and yawned loudly.
I smiled and kissed the top of his head and started to mess with his hair.
"You do realise that makes me fall asleep quicker than anything." Alex muttered as he rested his head on my shoulder.
"Yeah I know but you get some sleep and I'll wake you up when its time to go." I said and kissed the top of Alex's head before Alex moved and lead down on the seat using my lap as a pillow.
I smiled and just sat on my phone until our flight was called.
Alex was looking round and was like a 5 year old but after a while he fell asleep again and woke up before we landed.

We got to my parents house and I looked at Alex who was looking down and looked really nervous.
"Hey, don't worry about it. My parents are going to love you. Eric and Rowan might take the piss out of you but its jokes they won't mean anything from it." I said and Alex sighed and looked at me.
"If it gets out of hand then I'll be here to stop them." I said and Alex smiled a little and we got out the car and walked to the front door where I knocked in the door while Alex hid behind me.
The door opened and Eric answered the door.
"Well hey there Eric long time no see." I said and Eric smiled and pulled me into a hug which I returned.
"Holy shit Jack, who's this standing behind you?" Eric said and walked over to Alex who quickly backed away from him.
"Eric this is Alex my boyfriend." I said and Eric looked at me and laughed and hugged me again.
"Nice to meet you Alex." Eric said but he didn't go over to Alex as Alex looked like he would do a runner.
Eric went inside and I looked at Alex and he slowly walked over yo me and I hugged him and kissed the top of his head.
"Forgot to warn you that Eric can be really loud but Rowan is a bit quieter." I said and Alex nodded and we walked inside.

"Jacky!" Mum said loudly and ran over and hugged me which I returned and I looked over to Alex who was looking round looking really lost.
"Mum I want to introduce someone to you." I said and stood back and mum spotted Alex and she looked at me and smiled.
"Who's this handsome young man Jacky?" Mum asked and I smiled and walked over to Alex and caught hold of his hand.
"This is Alex, my boyfriend." I said with a smiled and mum smiled wide.
"Well this is something to make a good meal." Mum said with a smile on her face.
"Where's 'ab?" I asked using my mother tongue to say dad as we always have done growing up.
"He's at work right now but he should be home soon." Mum said and I nodded.
"I take it me and Alex have my room then?" I asked mum.
"Yes, oh god I haven't even made your bed up." Mum said.
"Mum its fine. I'm sure me and Alex are able to do it." I said and mum smiled and nodded and I took Alex upstairs to my mum.

" 'ab? What does that mean?" Alex asked as he looked round my room.
"It means dad in Arabic. You'll find that we might say some words in Arabic as it just slips sometimes." I said and Alex smiled.
"You might find that Rowan and 'ab tends to speak more Arabic than everyone else." I said and Alex sat on my bed.
" 'ahabak." I said quietly and Alex looked at me confused but with a smile on his face.
"What does that mean?" Alex asked quietly and kissed me.
"Something you already know." I said quietly back and kissed him a bit harder.
"Fucking hell Jack if your gonna fuck your boy toy at least shut the door." Rowan said as he lent against the door.
"Fucking hell Rowan!" I said and Alex jumped and looked at Rowan.
"Would of thought after 'ami walking in on you and that guy fucking you would of at least shut the door." Rowan said.
"Then you must turn around and just walk out my room." I said and Rowan just filled his eyes and walked out.

We was all sat round the table eating the food which mum had cooked.
"So Alex tell us about yourself then." 'ab said and Alex looked at me for help.
" 'ab Alex isn't good with people he doesn't know." I said.
"Maybe he should open up then." Rowan muttered and I glared at him.
"Boys." Mum said seriously.
"Its not you choice if Alex doesn't want to talk then he doesn't have to talk." I said and looked at Alex who was picking at his food and not looking up.
"Maybe he should learn to open his mouth then." Rowan said.
Alex stood up and glared at Rowan.
"I will open my mouth when I want to open my mouth. I will not be bullied into talking. I will definitely not be belittled by you. In my eyes only seeing you for 5 minutes and your a cunt. Now you fucking stay away from me." Alex said and left the table and the back door slamming shut.
"Well someone has a temper." Eric said.
"For once can't you just be fucking happy for me, I am finally with someone who I generally see myself being with for a long time." I said.
"He's a whiney little asshole." Rowan said.
"You know nothing. You don't know his past and you don't know what is ticking in his head." I said.
"Boys you both stop it right now!" Dad said and I got up and turned round and saw Alex.
"I fucking told you. Now I'm going home." Alex said and walked out the house.
"Alex." I said and followed him.

"Lex stop and think please." I said and I caught hold of his hand.
"I fucking told you they wouldn't like me. I know they wouldn't like me because nobody fucking likes a fuck up." Alex said loudly.
I walked over and pulled him into my chest and Alex clung onto me.
"Rowan can be a bastard but you have to ignore him, everyone else is going to be okay." I said and kissed the top of his head.
"Nobody likes me Jack." Alex whispered and sniffed.
" That's not true. You know that it isn't true." I said.
"Let's go inside and go to my room." I said quietly and Alex nodded.

Alex fell asleep as jet lag had seriously gotten to him so I went downstairs.
Rowan had gone home and Eric was still here.
"How's Alex?" Mum asked.
"Jet lag like me but he is able to sleep." I said and rubbed my eyes.
"Jack you need to sleep." Mum said.
"I know, but I need to say sorry for earlier, Alex is just different to all the others I've brought back home with me." I said and looked down.
"You don't have to explain. We can tell there's something up with Alex. But the main thing is that he has you looking after him." Mum said and I smiled.
"He's cute." Eric said and I looked at him.
"That's why he's mine." I said with a smile.
"Anyway, I need sleep." I said and got up and went upstairs.
Alex was still sound as sleep and I got into bed and cuddled into Alex's back and fell asleep.
