Here ya go! Enjoy!
Alexander loved John. He could admit it now. A month ago he would've been way too afraid. Too nervous to admit to him how he actually felt about him. After the accident all that fear had diminished.
Now John lay on the couch beside Alexander. Unharmed and safe, except for his eye and arm. The arm was still healing and the eye was irreparable. He placed a kiss on his boyfriend's freckled forehead.
The end credits of the movie rolled across the screen sending a dim light over the living room. He breathed a sigh of relief. In a way that accident was the best thing that ever happened to him.
Not truely, of course. Especially for John, his depth perception would be off forever and that's really not something Alexander liked. His boyfriend was now often walked into walls and other things his right usually would've spotted.
Alexander knew it bothered John but he always played it off like it was nothing. Alexander understood, there were many things he kept from John. Still, it would've been nice if he was told that John's eye was bothering him.
"Alex?" That was John's quiet voice. "What time is it?" His eyes were open slightly just so he could see Alexander.
He was so in awe by how handsome John was he forgot to check the time. He spun around to look at the nearest clock. "It's almost midnight."
John smirked and held his arms out like a small child would. "Carry me?" Alexander sighed, he really couldn't say no to John. Although height was an issue between the pair.
"I'm too short, but your feet should be able to do what I cannot." He flicked the light on causing John to hiss like a vampire might've in the same situation.
In the light John's beautiful eyes were visible. The right one slightly coloured differently. It was more faded and you can one hundred percent tell which eye took the damage in the accident.
If you didn't know any better you'd assume they were the exact same. Alexander never did, he'd memorized every detail of those eyes the very first time he met John all those years ago.
He'd been so upset back then, just starting college. He'd lost the most important person in his life years before. Alexander hadn't seen here in years, he barely remembered her name or face.
All he remembered was how important she was to him. He led John through the now lit room as, his usable eye was taking its time to adjust to the light.
As they were making their way down the hallway Alexander's phone buzzed. He pulled it out to see a text from Lafayette. He sighed and opened the message. "ALLLEEEEXxxxXx" Was all it read.
His fingers moved quickly as they typed out a response. "What do you want?" His text showed exactly how annoyed he was with his friend at the moment. He heard a slam and looked up to see John rubbing his face. He'd ran into the wall again.
"John… You know you have to pay more attention to where you're going." Alexander scolded, he didn't want to be that kind of person but he couldn't help his worry.
He stifled a yawn and shrugged. Alexander's phone buzzed as John made his way to the bed where he collapsed on it face first. Then he fell asleep right away, Alexander definitely envied that he'd have to have lied in bed for an hour to fall asleep, and that was on a night where he was exhausted.
He checked the text from Lafayette and settled in his desk chair. "Me and Herc have a new neighbour, and if I wasn't already dating him. And if I wasn't gay I'd date her, she's hot."
Alexander rolled his eyes and his friends incorrect grammar. "First of all, it's Herc and I. Second you never ever begin a sentence with and." Then he added another text. "Why are you even telling me this?"
It took a few moments for Lafayette's reply to come. Before it did Alexander decided to get some work done. Then a small ping signified the text coming in. "She said she knew you mon ami."
Alexander's eyes widened. Could it be? He doubted it but asked anyway. "What's her name Laf?"
He waited a few minutes but the next text never came, Lafayette had probably not gotten it. Or he'd forgotten. It was very likely that it was the latter but he didn't want to think that. If it really was her, he had to see her. Even if it meant nothing, he just wanted to apologize.
She may not even remember. He barely remembered himself but, he couldn't ever forget what he did. The worst part has to be that he remembers Maria's name and not the other girl's. He knows he loved her more, he'd made it up to her later. Although nothing was ever the same. Then she moved away.
Alexander couldn't think of that now, he had moved on like she must've as well. He had a boyfriend who was probably waiting for him to join him even if he was asleep and wouldn't know if Alexander joined him at all.
He finished up his work and passed out at his desk. That was normal, the last thing he remembered before falling asleep was the ping of a text message.
John's eyes flickered open. The world was a little blurry before his sight adjusted to the sunlight beaming through the curtains.
Alexander was probably asleep at his desk. He'd been falling asleep there a lot lately. John sighed and rubbed the right side of his face. It was stinging like usual, he'd walked into a wall again.
He entered Alexander's office to see that his hypothesis was definitely correct. Alexander's arm were curled around his head in a way that didn't seem comfortable. His laptop still open with the screen revealing google docs.
His hand rested on his phone. John uncurled his hand and grabbed the phone. He unlocked it using the fingerprint that Alexander had added. He knew how little John remembered to charge his phone and had added it.
John just wanted to check Alexander's text messages his boyfriend never responded to. He knew how often responding to text messages slipped Alexander's mind.
His heart sank when he read the text from Lafayette.
"Eliza Schuyler, she said her name was Eliza Schuyler. She was apparently your girlfriend, she wants to talk to you. Can you come over today?"
Yeah, there was no way Alexander was going to see that message. John stuffed his phone into his pocket and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Jealous John is jealous.
