A/N: Hello again, thanks for reading up to chapter five. Hopefully I'll update again during the week but if not I'll definitely have another long-ish chapter up next weekend. Thanks for the favourites, watches and reviews, I really appreciate them and it's always nice to know I'm not the only person who loves this pairing. Enjoy!

Alex looked down at the red-head lying on the bed with the top half of his body resting on Alex's. Apparently he had been tired, because after half an hour of sloppy seduction attempts he had pretty much collapsed onto the blonde and fallen asleep. Alex smiled, running his fingers through ginger curls and watching through the window as it got gradually lighter. It was already 6:30am and he would usually have kicked Sean out of bed by now, but it was a Saturday and he was rather enjoying watching the red-head sleep. Then again, Alex thought, just being in this room was probably making him lethargic. Caught up in his observations, he didn't notice Sean's eyes flicker open.

"Did we have sex last night?" the red-head asked immediately, propping himself up onto an elbow and then forcing his body further up the bed so he could nuzzle into one of Alex's shoulders.

"Good morning to you to," Alex replied, moving to get up but being pulled back down.

"I'm going to take that, and the fact that I'm not exhausted like usual, as a no," he said, moving slowly from his position and manoeuvring himself so he was sitting on top of Alex's waist. Sean had ended up falling asleep in just his grey hoodie and underwear, which the blonde couldn't help but notice as he was suddenly pinned on either side by skinny, freckled legs.

"Sean…" Alex began warningly, already wary of what his boyfriend was going to attempt and how much harder it would be to stop him after eight days of abstinence. Sean raised his hands, putting his clichéd innocent look on his pale face.

"Just making out, no sex. I promise," he answered, not waiting for a reply before diving down and engulfing Alex's lips with his own. As they kissed, Alex subconsciously moved his arms so one hand was holding Sean's back and the other instinctively moved down to grope the red-head's ass. Sean pulled back, whimpering slightly as he looked down at Alex before leaning back in to continue the kiss, moaning as the blonde released his lips and began leaving a trail of love-bites down his pale neck.

"Not too high, Hank'll think we broke the - ah - rule," Sean stuttered out between moans, crying out as Alex pressed his knee between Sean's legs. Alex then flipped them both so Sean was lying on the bed with Alex knelt on top of him. Trailing one of his hands from Sean's knee to his hip and tugging the hoodie up so it gathered around the red-heads scrawny shoulder Alex began leaving red marks on Sean's chest, stomach and hips. He grinned at the whimpers, moans elicited from the red-head who had given up any attempt to hide his obvious arousal.

"This low enough?" he teased, glancing up to see Sean with his head thrown back, biting his lip and trembling slightly at the sensation. Deciding from the red-head's moans and obvious erection that he had gone far enough, Alex pulled away and headed towards the bathroom.

"Wha-" Sean choked out, sitting up and glaring accusingly at Alex who was now giving him an innocent look.

"What? You said yourself it was only making out," Alex replied, grinning in amusement at the expression Sean was currently giving him.

"You bastard," Sean muttered.

"I'll shower first before breakfast," Alex called, "After all, I'm assuming you'll be using cold water anyway."

Sean raised his middle finger at his boyfriend as Alex disappeared into the bathroom.

Five minutes into breakfast Sean had yet to say anything and was buttering toast furiously whilst glaring at Alex. Noticing the obvious tension, Charles made an attempt to intervene.

"Sean, maybe you should eat something now," he said, gesturing weakly at the growing stack of untouched buttered toast threatening to topple off of the red-head's plate. Sean frowned and began munching on the slice in his hands, realising that he wasn't even that hungry.

Continuing to glare at Alex, Sean grabbed a half-eaten crumpet off of the blonde boy's plate.

"Hey, I was eating that!" came the immediate response. As Alex attempted to wrestle the food from the red-head's grasp Sean promptly shoved the crumpet into his mouth and swallowed.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that you wanted to finish your crumpet. Maybe you should go take a cold shower!" Sean spat out. The pair were now getting bewildered glances from Charles and most of the other mutants at the table. Beast seemed to have figured out what Sean was referring to, most likely because he'd been working in Alex's room that morning and had overheard most of the conversation, and was failing to hide a chuckle.

As they exited the dining room ten minutes later Charles gave them a bemused smile. The walk back to the room to change into their uniforms for training was silent, and once they were in the room Sean stripped down without a word and began tugging on the black and yellow outfit.

"Sean," Alex began, receiving only a grunt from his boyfriend in response, "I'm sorry if I annoyed you earlier."

"No you aren't," Sean grumbled, pouting slightly as he checked the buckles were in place. Alex grinned.

"Ok, I'm not. The look on your face was priceless, you can't blame me. Don't pretend you haven't been doing the exact same thing every night this week," Alex replied.

"I didn't stop though, you made me stop," Sean retorted immediately.

"You knew I would make you stop. Anyway, it only - what - like ten more day?" Alex replied. Sean groaned in defeat, walking over to Alex and kissing him. Alex grinned at this, because he knew it meant Sean wasn't actually mad at him.

"I'm expecting amazing sound-proof sex when Hank is finished," Sean replied, kissing Alex again before making his way up to the roof for training.

A/N: Thanks for reading. I'm pretty sure the next chapter will be the last so expect a lot of gratuitous loud snuggling. Hopefully it will be posted very soon as I was expecting this chapter to take longer, until then have a lovely week! Reviews, favourites and watches are always appreciated.
