Hello! Next chapter~! Hope everyone likes it!
Over the next few weeks, Sean and Alex "helped" each other more and more. Sean was actually getting use to it. Alex? Not so much. He wanted so much more then to just pleasure Sean. He wanted to love him, and so much more.
After they'd released their sexual tension, Alex took a bold move.
"Hey, can I sleep in here tonight?" He asked.
"S-sure." Sean said. He'd wanted to hear those words more then anyone knew.
"You know, it's getting cold.." He said.
"Yeah, it is." Sean said.
"Well? Scoot over!" He said.
Sean did as he was told. He kept his eyes on the wall opposite Alex.
When he felt the bed shift. he forced his eyes closed.
"This has to be a dream! He's Alex! He doesn't get close to people!" He thought.
Alex, meanwhile, was starring at Sean. He didn't have the blankets pulled over him, so he thought he must have been cold. This was proven when he woke up half way through the night to find Sean shivering.
He wiggled over and wrapped his arms around the red head.
"Al-" He was cut off.
"Shh. Go back to sleep." He whispered as he pulled the blankets over the pair.
And sleep he did. This was the first time they had physical contact that wasn't for getting off.
The next morning:
Sean woke up and immediately realised Alex's arms were still around him.
"Alex." He said. "It's time to get up." He said.
Alex opened his eyes, but didn't move his arms.
"Hey, Sean.." He said.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Wanna maybe.. go out sometime?" He asked.
Sean froze. "Uh.. s-s-s-sure." He stuttered.
"You're not just saying that, right?" He asked.
"No!" He immediately replied.
"Well someone's jumpy." He said.
Sean sighed. "A little." He said.
"You know what?" He asked, "We should go to the aquarium."
Sean sat straight up. "Could we?" He beamed.
Alex sat up. "Yeah." He said.
Sean couldn't stop smiling. "When's the soonest we can go?" Sean asked.
"Someone really wants to go." Alex said.
"I really like fish!" Sean said.
"So I heard." Alex said. "Tomorrow okay with you?" He asked.
Sean could barely contain himself. "Yes!" He squealed.
"Alright then, we should go to breakfast before they send a search team." Alex said.
"Yeah." Sean said.
The pair went to breakfast and acted like nothing was going on, but both were happy beyond belief.
The next day:
Sean was having second thoughts.
"What if he doesn't really want to go on a date? What if he just wants sex? What if-" His thoughts were cut short by a knock.
"You ready?" Alex asked.
"Yeah." Sean said.
The pair walked to the door. "We're leaving professor." Alex called.
"Wait, wait!" Charles called. He wheeled up to the two.
"Don't use your powers at any cost." He said.
"Okay-" Alex was cut off.
"I'm serious, you two. If I get a call saying one of you somehow broke a building, you'll both be under house arrest for a year." He said.
"Okay." Alex said. He walked out, but Sean lingered.
"I'll look out for him, professor." He said.
"I'm trusting you." He said.
Sean nodded. He walked out of the manor and found Alex.
"Ready?" He asked. Sean nodded and they got in a X-van.
"Please drive slow, Alex!" He pleaded.
"Why wouldn't I?" He asked.
"You just got your licence? You'd have to kill your only witness? You-" He was cut off.
"I'll drive slow. I do like you, I can't kill you yet." He said.
Sean blushed. Since it was Alex, it was like saying "I like you, I won't let anyone hurt you."
After Alex parked the car, the two walked to the aquarium.
As soon as Sean saw the first tank he rushed over.
Alex couldn't help but smile. Sean was having a fun time with him and it was only the first five seconds.
The blonde heard a giggling fit from Sean.
"So many new fish since last time I was here.." He said.
Alex nodded. "Is there a bathroom here?" He asked.
"Yeah, down this hall to the right." He said with a point beside the two.
"Be back in a minute." He said.
No sooner then he left, a group of three or so replaced him.
"Oh, would you look at that!" One said.
"The ginger's out lookin' for a soul, looks like." Another said.
"He might be lookin' for a fish's." The third said.
"Was that your boyfriend that just left?" The first said with a thump on Sean's shoulder.
Sean turned around and glared. "Even if he is, it's none of your business." He said.
"It speaks." He said. "Boys, I think we should teach this ginger where it belongs." The first said. He was taller then Sean by a few inches.
"I wouldn't appreciate that at all." Alex said.
"Who-" He turned and looked at Alex, who was a few feet away.
He laughed. "And what does it matter to you, pipsqueak?" He asked.
"I don't like it when people insult Sean." He said.
"And who are you to say what we can and can't say?" The second asked.
"Me." Alex said in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Really now? A fag-" He was cut off by Sean.
"Alex." He said. "That's his name, stupid." He said. The third boy was about to throw a punch, when Alex pushed him down.
"We're in a public place, if you don't want the police involved, I suggest you go away." Alex said.
"What're you gonna do if we don't?" The first asked.
Alex clenched his fists.
"Alex, the professor.." He whispered. Alex loosened up.
"That's what I thought." He said. He lunged at Alex, who just stepped out of the way, grabbed his arm, and wrapped it behind the boy's back.
"I was in solitary confinement for killing a man, do you think I'm scared of you?" He asked.
"Guys-" The boy said. He was asking for his two friends, who were running away.
"Now, please leave." He said. He released the taller boy. He ran in the direction of his friends.
"Alex-" He was cut off by said boy's lips.
Alex pressed Sean against the glass tank, pinned his arms to the wall, and deepened the kiss.
"Does this make us official?" Sean asked breathlessly.
"You into it?" Alex asked. Sean nodded.
"Okay then, how's about we look at more fish, then we go eat." He asked.
"I hope you mean anything but fish." Sean said.
Alex chuckled. "You can choose. Now come on." He said.
After they'd seen all the exhibits, some of them twice because they were Sean's favorites, the two went to a diner.
After they order, they just stared at each for a few minutes.
"So.." Alex said. "Did you have fun?" He asked.
"Yes!" Sean beamed. "A lot." He added.
"I would have never thought someone so gorgeous would go out with me. Or be gay, for that matter." Alex said. Sean blushed.
"Bi, actually." Sean said.
"Same." Alex said as their food arrived. (1)
After they'd arrived back at the manor, Sean showered, and went to the library for a book. He had to write some report for Charles, showing how people could live together in harmony or something.
"Oh, hello, professor." Sean said.
"Hello, Sean." He said.
"Just-" He was cut off.
"I know why you're here. You tend to scream your thoughts." He said.
Sean's eyes widened. "Uh-" He was cut off.
"Oh dear, you have a dirty mind." He said. "I'm sorry, but it's like you're in my head." He chuckled.
"So that means you must know about.." He stopped himself.
"Yes, and I'm quite happy for you two." He said.
"T-thanks." He whispered.
"Good luck with him, Sean." He said. "The book's on the third shelf." He said.
After he got the book, he went straight to Alex's room.
"Mind if I sleep with you tonight?" He asked.
Alex nodded. "Sure, you took me in last night." He said.
The two climbed into bed, and Sean couldn't be happier. But somehow, he could tell something would happen. It always did. Just as things were perfect, the universe ripped it apart. And he'd be damned if it happened to him and Alex if he had any say in it.
(1) Remember that. It'll come in handy for later chapters.
Hope everyone likes this! I hate the whole fight thing at the aquarium! It's horrible, I know. I just had to fit what the bullies said in somewhere. Till next time!
