Alex unlocks the door of the house and steps in after a day at work. "Scott?" he calls out for his boyfriend in what looked liked the empty home.

Scott checks his face one last time in the mirror, adding a few more eye drops and messing with his hair to appear more distressed. "H-Hey Alex" he calls back, emphasizing a crack in his voice.

"Babe? You sound weird, is everything okay?" Alex calls out worriedly. He sets his workbag on the couch and rolls the sleeve of his shirt up his shoulders. He sees Scott emerging from the bathroom, looking miserable. "Hey, what's up?"

Scott pauses in the doorway for a second and let's his baby blues focus on Alex for effect. "I-I-" he swallows, "I need to talk to you."

Alex frowns, feeling more confused and worried than ever. "What's gotten you crying?" he asks, closing the space between them and hugging him.

Scott nuzzles his face into Alex's shoulder and takes a second to suppress his grin. 'You can do this' he mentally encourages himself, don't crack up yet.' He pulls back and looks at his boyfriend. "Can we sit down?" he breathes out.

"O-okay...?" Alex nods, feeling tense. He guides the both of them to the couch gently and helps Scott sit down. "What's going on?"

Scott stares at the floor and runs his hands through his hair, really trying to sell his distress. "W-well the past few days I've-" he takes in a shaky breath.

"Uh-huh?" Alex prods, waiting for him to continue. He rubs Scott's back in hopes of offering comfort.

At Alex's touch he takes a few extra seconds to calm the need to laugh, praying his acting skills would hold up. If he can nail a HSM4 audition, he can surely make it through this. "Well, I've been feeling a little sick in the mornings, nothing m-major but I started to worry."

"Did you see the doctor?" Alex asks, trying to meet Scott's eyes. "How bad is it?"

"Not yet but...but I need to." Scott sniffles.

"What hurts? Do you want us to go right now? The car's still out." Alex asks all at once, running his fingers through Scott's hair.

Scott shakes his head. "It isn't urgent. But I swung by the store earlier to see if what I was thinking was right. And i-it was."

Alex taps his foot nervously. "What is?"

Scott inhales deeply, turning to look his boyfriend in the eyes. This was it, the moment of truth, ill-fitting as the name may be. "Alex, I-I'm-" he stops and grabs his hands, deepening his gaze.

"I'm pregnant."

All the built up tension finally collapses in Alex as he feels his heart drop. "W-what?" he asks in disbelief. He's quickly recalling the last time they had sex, but he can't focus. "Holy shit. Oh my god. Scott." he grips his hand tightly.

Holy shit. Alex believed him? Oh this was just too good. Time to improvise. "Y-yeah I just took the test earlier. Two of them, to be sure."

"Oh god, oh god, oh god. A-and they came out...?" Alex trails off, already knowing the answer anyway.

Scott was really about to lose it. 'Shit, I should have filmed this!' he thought to himself. "P-positive. Both were positive, Alex."

"Fuck, fuck. Oh my god what are we going to do?" Alex taps his foot again, scared this time. He places his hands on his face to calm himself.

Scott mirrored Alex's actions, but in his case to hide the grin struggling to ruin his fun. Damn, Alex was cute when he was terrified about his future. "It's okay Baby, we'll...we'll figure this out. We'll be okay."

"Do you need to go to the hospital now? How far along? Oh god, this is...?" Alex taps his face with his hand. He glances at Scott again.

God, Alex looks like he's about to sprout grey hairs already. Scott takes this as his signal to end this. "..crazy?" He finishes Alex's sentence. "Yeah, you could say that. Especially since I don't exactly have the equipment for that." he chuckles lightly.

"W-what?" Alex sniffles, his heart beating fast.

Shit he might have taken this too far..oh well. "Alex, I can't have a baby. I'm just fucking with you. I didn't grow a uterus!" With that Scott can no longer hold back his laughter.

It takes a while for Alex to process what Scott said, and when he does, he immediately punches his arm. "Fuck you, Hoying!" he yells.

Scott doesn't even mind the pain in his arm as his laughter only increases in volume. The second it starts slowing down all he has to do is peek at Alex's face and another round tears through him, making his lungs sore.

Alex punches his arm again and stands up. "I swear to god, that was not funny." he frowns.

Scott runs his hand back through his hair, no longer needing its distressed appearance. "No, it was hilarious. You honestly believed I was pregnant???"

"W-well you can't say shit like that, what the hell?" Alex glares and pouts.

Damn those puppy eyes. Scott softens up and pulls his boyfriend into a hug. "Aw, babe, I was just having some harmless fun."

"You were totally believable, bitch." Alex mumbles against Scott's shoulder. "I hate you." he says, hugging Scott.

Scott pulls back a bit to press a soft peck on Alex's lips. "I love you too, idiot."
