A/N: Originally, I was planning on updating Say It (당신이그것을의미처럼) or write a Cas/Nate oneshot…. But WillowSioui bribed me with a Kacen x Alexy scene in Pieces of April. And, you know… I couldn't pass up that bribe.

"So," Castiel grinned, quickening his pace to match mine as I tried my best to pull away from him. "How was dinner with the boyfriend?"
I shot him a quick glance, my eyes narrowed before offering a lazy, one shouldered shrug.
"He's not my boyfriend, Cas. And dinner was fine."
Raising his eyebrows, a smirk played across Castiel's otherwise calm face. "Really now?" he asked, amused. "Then how was dessert?"
Again, I shrugged, my pace quickening. "There was none."
Jogging back to my side, Castiel draped an arm around my shoulders lazily. Leaning closer to my face, he offered me a small wink.
"That's not what Alexy said."
My eyes widened in surprise and I stopped, tilting my head to look at him – my vision was obscured by a veil of brown. Sighing, I pushed my hair out of my eyes and frowned.
"What did Alexy tell you?" I growled, my tone overcast.
Somewhat put off by my coldness, Castiel raised his hands in a defensive manner, positioning them between his body and myself.
"He didn't tell me anything," he retorted, "he told Janiel, however, what happened in your room."
I frowned slightly at this, my lips pressing into a thin, agitated line. "And how would Janiel know?"
Grinning, Castiel elbowed me sharply in the ribs. "Oh, come on. You know she adores anyone and everyone with the slightest homosexual tendencies. How could you assume she didn't have Alexy's mobile number?"
Oh, that was right. Janiel couldn't seem to keep anything to herself.
"And," I said quietly, my teeth clenched, "she told you?"
Nodding, Castiel's grin widened. "Yep. She also told Jo Jo and Lysander."
I sighed, running a hand through my hair.
Not keeping anything to herself – that was an understatement.
Looking at the ground, I pushed myself forward, moving in the direction of Sweet Amoris High School. I didn't want to meet Castiel's eyes. I couldn't…
After allowing a few minutes to pass in silence Castiel cleared his throat, his dark eyes moving to look at me.
"So," he prompted. "I trust that dessert was worthwhile?"
I bit down on my bottom lip before offering him a small, shy smile.
"You could say that."

The sky was alight in a mixture of oranges and purples as the sun slowly disappeared behind the horizon. A cold chill hung in the air as the town around us was shrouded by darkness. The sky turned into a rich navy, glittering with hundreds of tiny stars. High above us, the moon had taken over the sun's stead, suspended magically, a small glowing orb of milky white against its dark background.
Alexy wrapped his arms around my waist as I sat on the swing in Sweet Amoris Park, pulling me up into his chest.
"Look, Tyson," his lips next to my ear. "I'm not mad at you for not telling your mother. These things... They take courage, I guess. I just want you to know that I'm willing to wait for you. It's like I said earlier. I really like you."
I lifted my head slightly, placing a gentle kiss on his jaw.
"Thank you," I breathed.
Giving me a slight push off the swing, Alexy took a seat on the rubber base, pulling me onto his knee, his arms wrapping tightly around my waist.
I shivered slightly in the cool breeze and he pulled me closer to him.
"Do you know why the moon looks so small from here?" he asked, stroking the goosebump-ridden skin on my arm. I tilted my head up to look at the sky as I thought about his question.
"It's because it's so far away, right?"
Chuckling quietly to himself, Alexy rested his chin in the cook of my neck.
"No," he breathed. "It's because when the moon is high up in the sky –like it is now- its size is only compared to the vast nothingness of the night sky that surrounds it. But-"
He lifted a hand, pointing towards a nearby block of apartment buildings. "If the moon is near that, for example, it appears so much bigger because we're comparing it with something on a sizable scale."
I smiled, placing my hands on top of his. "You're too smart for your own good."
We sat together on the swing in silence, rocking backward and forward in a gentle motion, before Alexy's lips moved to my neck.
"Tyson?" he breathed, sweeping my hair to the other side of my neck. "I lied to you earlier, do you realise that?"
My body stiffened immediately and it felt as though my heart had skipped several beats. Slowly, I turned my head to face him, a frightened look playing across my face.
"What?" I asked quietly. "When? Alexy, I-"
Chuckling quietly, Alexy's lips captured mine, one hand tangling with my hair and holding my face against his, the other wrapped tightly around my waist as if afraid to let go.
Finally breaking away from the kiss, Alexy rested my forehead against his.
"I told you that I liked you," he said quietly. "I lied. I don't like you at all."
The breath caught in my throat and I stared at him in shock.
Moving his hand back down my side to sit on my hip, Alexy smiled sweetly.
"No, I think I love you."
Recovering quickly, a grin tugged the corners of my lips upwards. Giving his chest a gentle shove, he slid backwards off the swing, pulling me along with him.
Placing my legs on either side of his torso, I bent down, placing a chaste kiss on his lips.
Alexy smiled, as I got off him, helping him to his feet, and together we went for a moonlight stroll through the lamp-lit park, hand in hand. After what felt like an eternity, Alexy lead me over to the base of a large oak tree and we sat on the soft, dewy grass, our backs resting against the trunk.
Caressing my cheek with a thumb, the bluenette slowly tilted my head down so it rested against his shoulder, one arm snaking around my waist and pulling my as close as possible.
"Tyson?" he murmured and I lifted my head slightly so that my check rested on his shoulder. Placing a soft kiss on his neck, I smiled.
"Mm?"
A playful grin flashed across Alexy's face and his eyes deep lilac eyes sparkled with amusement.
"I just wanted to let you know that… Even though you aren't naked right now, I still love you."
I stuck my tongue out, chuckling quietly.
"Way to ruin the moment. Thanks, though."

A/N: So, Alexy isn't very subtle. Not at all. Nope.

R&R!
