So, this is my new fanfiction. Updates are going to be slow, so yeah. I hope you enjoy the first chapter!
John's P.O.V.
"So, are we going out tonight?" Herc asks. Laf, Herc, Alex and I sit in our apartment in the living room.
"I can't," Alex says. "There are other schools coming to the one I work at. I have to be there to clean up after."
"I can go" Laf says.
"I will see," I say. "I am pretty fucking tired." Laf hands the bong to me and I press my lips against it. I inhale deeply, then let the smoke linger from my mouth.
"You guys are going to get in trouble" Alex says.
"You are, like, the only one who doesn't smoke pot in this whole damn building" I say.
"I am afraid I am going to get addicted."
"Whatever," I stand up. "Is anyone hungry?"
Everyone isn't hungry, so I head to the kitchen to search for some food for myself. "We need to do some groceries!" I yell. I slam the fridge door closed. "Who wants to come with me?"
"I will," Alex says. "I don't want you driving right now."
"I smoked a little," I put my jacket on and zip it up. "I will be fine."
"Give me your damn keys," Alex and I leave the apartment, while Alex holds out his hand to me. We walk down the elevator and I hand him the keys. "Thanks."
"I don't get what the big trouble is."
"I don't want you getting hurt!"
"Sorry." I mumble, looking down at my feet.
"Hey," Alex puts his hand on my shoulder. "You're all good." He pulls me into an awkward hug, then just wraps his arm around my shoulders. The elevator door opens and we go through.
I would never admit it, but I have had a big crush on Alex for a little while. Well, since I first met him, which was only a year ago. We met at the book store where I work. We started hanging out, and he eventually moved in with Herc, Laf and me. The three of us were living together since collage, which we all graduated about three years ago.
The elevator doors open and we walk outside. I like autumn. It is so beautiful and the weather is always perfect.
We walk down to the parking garage and go to our Chevrolet Cruize. The four of us own two cars together, so we just use them whenever. I actually bought this one myself, but I don't drive a lot, other than when I don't have the time to be on the bus. I hop into the passenger seat and Alex behind the wheel.
"Be careful," I say. "I don't want you speeding."
"I get it. You have gone over all the rules for driving your car." Alex pulls out of the parking garage, then onto the road.
"Yet, you never listen to them."
"You love me, you can't say no." I hate this sometimes. He says this because we are friends. He isn't afraid to say 'I love you', or if I get a kiss every now and then. I do that too, but it feels weird saying it to Alex, even though he doesn't notice the difference.
"I can say no," I say proudly, but then mumble, "just not to you."
Alex smiles, which makes the sides of his eyes crinkle. Soon enough, we are at Costco. We get out of the car and walk in.
"This place is huge" I say, looking around.
"Have you never been here before?" Alex asks.
"No, I never go to this part of the city," I look around. "Why the fuck did we go all the way here, when there is a Sobeys five minutes away from the apartment?"
"We are going to the mall afterwards. I am taking you shopping."
"I can shop for my own shit. Plus, I don't have a lot of money right now."
"That doesn't matter. I will use my money."
"I am not taking your money."
"Shut up and eat this," Alex takes a sample of cheese off a tray and stuffs it in my mouth. He gets his own, then yells with his mouth still full, "grab that watermelon!"
"Calm down, Donkey Kong," I grab the watermelon and set it into the cart. "Give me the cart. I don't trust you."
"Fine!" Alex whines. "I am going to look for more samples."
I bite back a laugh, and walk off. I walk down near the frozen food and grab some eggs. I start to walk again, then Alex comes up behind me and puts his hands on the side of the cart. He begins running, then pulls his feet up with mine.
"Alex!" I yell. We slide across the floor, then I put my feet down to stop us. "Alex, you are not a kid anymore." I turn around and look at him.
Alex looks down at me, keeping his hands on the cart, caging me in. "You're right, I'm not a little kid. Though, I am an adult who wants to have some fun."
I don't know why what he says makes me blush and my stomach turn. Alex smiles, then let's go of the cart.
"I am going to go get something. You finish shopping, then meet me out at the car." Alex says.
"O-okay." Alex walks off, and I sigh.
I finish with shopping, then go out to the car. Alex sits on the hood, looking at his phone.
"What did I say about sitting on my car?" I ask.
"To not to." Alex says.
"Then why aren't you getting off it?" I open the trunk and start filling it with grocery bags. Alex jumps off the car and starts helping me.
"So, what did you get?" I ask.
"Something for you."
I look over at Alex, but he doesn't make eye contact. "Why?" I put the last bag in the trunk, than close it.
"I wanted to." Alex climbs behind the wheel, and I sit next to him.
I wanted to say that I thought we were going to the mall, but I keep my mouth shut. I don't like bringing stuff that I don't want to do.
I know I am supposed to say something, but I don't. There is nothing for me to say. Therefore, it is quiet the whole way home. In the elevator it is quiet, walking down the hall, it is quiet.
We walk into the apartment and go into the kitchen. Alex starts putting the groceries away, and I look over into the living room. Laf and Herc are lying down on the couch. Laf is lying on top of Herc, and looks like he is about the fall asleep.
"John?" I look over at Alex.
"S-sorry."
The story may take a little while to get interesting, but we will get there. It is only a matter of time (sorry). Please R&R and have a good day/night! Love you guys!
