John's POV

"Do you guys want to come see a movie with us tomorrow?" Herc asked Alex and I at dinner on Friday.

"Sure." Alex replied.

"Sounds good to me." I agreed.

"It's not like they're going to be watching much of the movie." Laf said, laughing at his own joke.

"Oh, shut up, Laf." Alex said.

"Alex, honey, I think you and I both know he's telling the truth." I laughed.

"See?" Laf exclaimed. "I'm not the only one who thinks so!"

"What movie do you gots want to see?" Herc asked, pulling up the movie theater website on his phone.

"How about the new transformers movie?" Laf suggested.

"Ugh. Pass." Herc said. "What about Aquaman?"

"That works for me." I said, and Laf and Alex nodded their heads in agreement.

"The movie starts at 3:00, so we should probably leave around 2:00." Herc explained.

"Cool." Alex said.

Alex and I spent Saturday morning snuggling up on the couch watching TV on his laptop. Alex was sitting with his arm over my shoulder, and I had my head laying on his chest, stretching my legs out over the rest of the couch.

"Do we have to go to the movie?" I asked Alex, while still laying on the couch. "Can we just stay in this spot forever?"

"I wish." He said while stroking my hair, "But we promised Herc and Laf. They'd be pissed at us if bail now."

"Yeah, I guess." I said, snuggling deeper into Alex's embrace.

We layed there for a few more minutes in a comfortable silence.

"We really should get dressed." Alex said, still not moving.

"Yeah, but laying on you is so comfortable." I said to Alex, looking up at him. He smiled, then kissed me.

"Allons-y, mes amies!" Laf said, bursting into the room, while we were still kissing, I might add. "Get dressed! We have to leave soon if we want to get good seats for the movie!"

Alex and I reluctantly jumped off the couch to get our clothes and go into the bathroom to change.

"Allons-y?" I asked Alex when we got into the bathroom.

"It means 'let's go'." He responded. "I can't believe Laf still doesn't understand that not everyone in America speaks French."

"Did Laf grow up in France?" I asked.

"Yeah. He and his parents moved here when he was eight." Alex explained. "English is his second language. That's why he's always speaking French."

"That makes so much sence." I said.

"Come on, let's go." Alex said after we were both dressed and ready to go.

We walked out into our dorm room, then down to the office to sign out. To air on the side of caution, we said we'd be back by 6:00.

We walked out and Alex and I gradually got closer to each other as we got father from school until we were eventually holding hands and literally leaning on each other as we walked.

"How far is the movie theatre?" I asked when we were a few blocks from school.

"Just two more block from here." Alex sexily wispered in my ear.

"How do you make such a simple phrase sound so sexy?" I wispered in his ear.

"Talent." He smiled.

"Could you two lovebirds quit it and come buy your tickets?" Laf said as he motioned is into the theatre.

We walked into the theatre and bought out tickets. Alex gave me a few bucks so I could buy my own ticket. It was kind of embarrassing to have Alex always pay for stuff for me, so we just kind of keep it secret.

We bought some candy and popcorn and went to sit down just as the lights were going down for the movie to start.

Alex leaned over to me as the movie started and wispered, "So, I don't really want to watch this..."

"Ugh. No. Me either." I said.

"Soo... Maybe..." He said, and I cut him off by kissing him.

If someone were to ask me what Aquaman was about, I would have no idea. Alex and I were making out the entire two and a half hour movie. I think it was good, though, because Laf and Herc seemed to enjoy it.

"Did you guys enjoy the movie?" Herc asked as we walked out, oblivious of what we were doing during the movie.

"Oh, they enjoyed it alright." Laf joked as we walked out. "They got a great view of eachother."

Herc face went from confusion, to realization, to laughing.

"Did you two see any of the moive?" Herc asked.

"No, not really." I said.

"We probably saw a minute or two, collectively." Alex laughed.

We walked out of the theatre and into the street. Alex and I were holding hands and laughing, and kissing.

Suddenly, Alex let go of my hand and walked a few steps sideways. I looked over at him, confused, but he just looked ahead.

We walked about a block like that, and then Alex came back to hold my hand.

He wispered in my ear, "I'm so sorry about that. I saw some boys from school across the street who are in Thomas Jefferson and James Madison's group, and those guys are total asses."

"It's ok." I wispered back. "Part of being in this relationship is doing what we need to do to keep it a secret. I would've done the same thing."

"I promise I'll make it up to you when we get back to the dorm." He said sexily.

"You'd better." I laughed.

We got back to the dorm and Alex held up on his promise. He made it up to me five times. We were both exhausted after the fact, but it was so worth it.
