Chapter 2

Alex does something stupid

So this was it, the last day Dex would sleep near him in the guest room. If this was a stupid fanfiction Alex would confess his love dramatically and then they'd make love on the bed. Yeah, that wasn't going to happen and Alex knew that. So instead he decided to joke around with him one last time.

"Hey Dex, can you do me a favour and actually sleep tonight?" he asked.

"What? I don't know what you're talking about" Dex smiled innocently.

Alex gave him a little shove. "Yeah you do, don't jack off in my bed tonight" Alex reminded him.

"Aw come on it's the last night! Tomorrow I have to sleep in a plane and I can't wank off in there!" Dex whined.

"Too bad, no jacking off" Alex crossed his arms "My bed, my rules."

"Come on! It's not like you're sleeping in it! Besides I've never gotten it on the sheets and you only found out because I told you in the car." Dex pointed out

"Does it look like I care?" Alex raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, I don't need your permission I'll do it anyway" Dex sassed him.

"No you're not, it's my bed and I'm not letting you" Alex sat down and smiled victoriously at Dex.

"What! You have your own bed!" Dex freaked out.

"Yeah... this one" Alex patted it as if to mark his territory.

"Oh come on!" Dex threw his hands up in the air.

Alex shrugged and lied down on the bed with a cute little grin.

"Fine, I'll just go sleep in your room" Dex got up but Alex grabbed his arm.

"Nope you can't do that" he said.

"Why not?" Dex sighed.

"Because I installed a lock in my room. You can't get in" Alex lied.

Dex squinted his eyes suspiciously as if to check if Alex was telling the truth.

"What kind of lock is it?" he asked.

"Oh you know one of those password ones. I got it cause James keeps going into my room and pulling wake up pranks on me. Now he only does that when we go to cons." The words just flew out of Alex's mouth as if they were rehearsed.

He was really impressed with himself for coming up with the lie. Dex wrangled his arm out of Alex's grasp but didn't break eye contact with him.

Alex felt himself stop breathing just staring into Dex's eyes, he just felt frozen in time like Dex was Medusa and Alex was completely turned to stone.

Finally Dex broke the spell and grumbled "Of course James screws up my night" he huffed to himself.

Alex's face lit up and he forced himself to suppress his laughter, he actually believed him.

"Well goodnight" Alex chuckled.

He got under the covers and tried to hold in his excitement. He couldn't believe what he just pulled. It was stupid, so unbelievably stupid, but it worked!

Dex paced around the room for a bit as if he was waiting for Alex to get up. However he quickly realized that Alex wasn't screwing around.

"Are you serious?" he asked incredulously.

"Yup" Alex closed his eyes and smirked to himself.

He kept his eyes closed as he heard Dex grumble some more. Then he heard the sound of fabric rustling and that's when he remembered that Dex still had his clothes on. Alex felt his cheeks turning red and he forced himself to try and keep his eyes shut. If Dex caught him peeking no amount of lying could cover up the truth. If was almost torture just listening to him getting changed. Alex tried to think of something else but it was impossible. Finally Alex couldn't take it anymore, he just had to have one peek even if it was for a second. He knew he'd never get this chance again, so he cautiously opened his eyes.

Luckily for him Dex was turned around so he didn't see Alex peeping. Also luckily for Alex, Dex wasn't wearing a shirt so he got an eyeful of his sexy back. Dex put on a white tank top and Alex quickly shut his eyes. However the image was burned into his mind and he kept it in place. He heard the click of the light switch and felt the bed shift it's weight as Dex reluctantly got under the covers.

"You really suck you know that?" Dex whispered to Alex.

"Mmhmm" Alex pretended to be half asleep but in reality he was wide awake.

He knew that there was no way he'd tell Dex how he really felt. He had thought about the idea and realized it wasn't worth it. He didn't want anyone to know now, it was his little secret and he would take it to the grave. That was the only smart way to go about it and he had already filled up on his stupid quota for the day.

Alex opened his eyes and there was a little moonlight streaking through the closed blinds. Dex's body was silhouetted in pale blue and it made Alex hold his breath. He was so beautiful when he was asleep, so peaceful and so adorable. Alex felt his pants getting tighter and realized that he was getting a boner. "Shit" he quietly muttered to himself and turned away from Dex. He was mistaken, now he had filled up on his stupid quota. Why did he have to get one now? What the hell would he say if Dex found out? He tried to calm down and think of something else. Eventually he managed to relax and actually fall asleep.
