Alex left Seb’s pissed and got home even more irritated. He just couldn’t understand Seb. He had no reason to be that dramatic when he was just trying to show him he also had friends he could hang out with. He was just trying to let him know his boyfriend know he also had a social life and there he was taking things the wrong way. Grunting out, he sat on his bed and folded his arms. He took out his phone and just as expected, there were no new messages from Seb. He let out a groan then fell on his bed. Just how mad at him was? Before he could allow himself get buried by his thoughts, he his phone vibrated in his pocket. Jumping up, he took it out only to receive a new message from Victoria. Victoria: hi! He stared at the message for an unusual period of time, Seb's words resonating in his head. They were both nothing but platonic friends, right? On top of that, Tasha had a crush on her so there was no way she actually liked him, right? Hesitating, he replied. Alex: Hey S
Alex was being on his best behaviour by helping his aunt set the table for dinner when they both heard the doorbell ring. “Are you expecting someone?” she looked up at Alex, Alex shaking his head. “I’m not expecting anyone either and I don’t think Lucas is. Do you mind going to check who it may be?” He nodded and dropped the plate in his hand then walked over to the door. Without bothering to check who it was through the door hole, he opened the door. Much to his surprise, to meet Seb standing right outside. “Hi,” Seb replied Alex’s questioning and surprised look with a smile. “What are you doing here?” Alex asked, looking inside to check on his aunt. “I wasn’t expecting you here.” “Well, that’s true,” he nodded then dug his hands into his pocket to flash two tickets to Alex’s face. “I broke up with Madison.” “Oh,” Alex commented, unsure if he was supposed to feel as excited as he did. He folded his arms, leaned by the door and eyed the tickets in Seb’s hands. “So what? What
“This semester is finally over!” “We survived it well.” Alex nodded, unable to disagree with Tasha and Victoria as they walked out of the hall of their final papers. It had been a stressful week, shuffling between exams and rounding up all assignments and projects due for the end of the semester. Though he’d never tell them, it was a bit easier on his side as he had Seb to assist him in all aspects. “What would you guys be doing during the break?” Tasha asked the duo as they headed out of the faculty. “Going back home?” “Yeah,” Victoria nodded. “Me and my sister should be going back home. My mum especially has been nagging us to come visiting since the beginning of the semester. How about you, Alex?” “I,” he hesitated. “I’ll be going to London.” “London?” she seemed surprised. “That’s interesting. Yeah I think I heard my sister say Seb’s going to London too. Aw, isn’t that a coincidence?” “Is it?” Alex said, trying to be as unobvious as possible. “Yeah, funny. It is.” “That’s
They got to London exactly 1pm and immediately headed to their hotel. It was one Alex recognized from his days of living in London and he had to admit, he felt a little excited at the thought of visiting it. With his boyfriend at that. Seb didn’t hesitate to book a single room, Alex gulping as he watched him receive the key card to the room. Words were barely exchanged as Seb took hold of both their suitcases and headed to the elevator. “Are you tired?” “Nope,” Alex replied Seb as he pressed their floor number on the elevator. “How about you?” “Nahh,” Seb smiled. “I’m more of excited. Let’s go check our room out.” They stepped into their room, both marvelled and impressed at it. It was wide, painted in a subtle white colour. It made a large sized bed in the middle, matching the furniture around it. “It’s cozy, I like it.” “Right?” Seb nodded, taking a seat on the bed. “Totally worth it.” They both fell into silence, obvious tension filling the air. They couldn’t help it thoug
"A quick check, we'll be going over to your dad's by 7, right?" "But before then, we've got the whole day to ourselves, baby," Seb spread his arms wide. "This is London! Let's tour this city to our hearts content!" After cuddling the whole previous night, it was only expected of Seb to wake up feeling extra giddy. The version of him reluctant to visit his dad had gone up into smoke, leaving a very ecstatic Seb behind. "I should be the one giving you a tour," Alex said as they stepped out of their room. "You're the foreigner here." "Oh, please," Seb dramatically said. "We don't know we're pretty much the same in that case. Throughout your nineteen years of living here, I'm pretty sure you visited only a handful of places here." "How dare you." "Or if you don't mind we could try counting all of them on my fingers," Seb stretched out his arm. "Oh my, I don't think I'll be needing an extra hand." "Shut up," Alex glared playfully at him. "Fine. But I better be blown away by the end o
“Good morning.” “Hey,” Alex replied, slowly opening his eyes to the light as Seb opened the curtains. “Good morning.” “Did I wake you?” Seb asked, adjusting the blinds. “I mean do you want to get some more sleep?” “No, it’s fine I’m up already,” Alex replied then sat up, watching Seb give the blinds a final tug before walking to take a seat next to him. “How long have you been up?” “About thirty minutes ago?” Seb answered, stroking Alex’s dishevelled hair. “You were sleeping so peacefully so I didn’t want to wake you up.” “How about you? Were you able to sleep well?” “Mhm mhm,” Seb nodded. “Thanks to your hug I was able to sleep like a baby.” “You mean you shit your pants and cried all night?” “Hell no,” Seb laughed then got up. “You know what I mean.” “Yeah,” Alex smiled, glad Seb’s mood was better. “I should get up and get ready.” “Yeah you should do that,” Seb replied him. “I have some spare clothes you can change into.” “Alright.” He headed to the bathroom and after fe
Immediately after breakfast, Alex and Seb stepped out of their hotel room to get into the car to head to Alex’s old home. The ride was silent and Seb could easily notice how nervous Alex was. At intervals, he pressed his lips together, rubbed his palms against each other and had sighs escape his lips an unusual amount of times. Seb on the other hand, wasn’t sure on how to feel. It was frustrating for him to watch Alex panic and eventually, ended up holding his hand throughout the ride trying to make him feel better. “You can pull over here,” Alex said, letting go of Seb’s hands. “We’re only a stroll away now.” “Okay,” Seb nodded then pulled over. He watched him unclasp his seatbelt, did the same and stepped out of the car after Alex.True to Alex’s words, they were right in front of the house after only walking past a few blocks. He stopped, took a deep exhale then walked to the main entrance. Hesitating for a while, Alex took the keys out of his pocket and shoved it into the ke
Alex woke up with a smile on his face. He turned, feeling Seb’s grip around his waist tighten and chuckled in return, memories of the previous night flooding back. The non-existent distance between them gave him the opportunity to stare at Seb to his heart’s content. He was sleeping so peacefully, with his arms wrapped around his waist. His chest and whole body was bare, Alex blushing at the sight. “How long are you going to be staring at me for?” “You,” Alex faked a scowl. “When would you stop pretending to be asleep?” “Never,” he nuzzled Alex’s hair, pulling him even closer. “I love watching you watch me.” “That makes no sense.” “Maybe,” Seb smiled. “How are you?” Blinking at Seb’s randomness, Alex thought of a reply. He was a lot of things. Happy, sore- to name a few. “I’m great. How about you?” In response, Seb had his fingers caress Alex’s face. He smiled, uttering no words as he allowed himself get lost in the moment. He liked him so much. So much he felt like his h
