Alex never really believed in love. It's not that he didn't want to, exactly. He was just too emotionally scarred with the events that had broken his heart within the first nineteen years of his life that he just, well, couldn't. His parents had divorced when he was only seven years old, which really, was for the best. As long as the boy could remember, his dad would some home drunk at one in the morning, his mom would also be intoxicated from the vodka she'd been drinking, and they would get into a fight, one of them would start throwing a bottle, and all he would do was lock himself in his room and listen.

When he was fourteen he had gotten his first girlfriend. It was smooth sailing until he realised that, no, he didn't like girls.

She caught him making out with Zack Merrick in a janitors closet, which ended their relationship.

At sixteen he found out that his boyfriend at the time had only dated him because it was a dare.

A couple months after that, he had experienced his best friend, Jack's, breakup with his boyfriend of two years.

Which, was of course, the day that he realised his undying love for his best friend. Totally unexpected.

----

Alex's phone buzzed in his hand, looking to see that Jack was calling him.

"Jack?"

"'L-Lex? Can I come over?" His best friends voice had cracked in the middle of his sentence and he could tell that he'd been crying. And Alex started to think of the worst thing that could've happened.

"What? What happened, Jay? Are you okay? Do you need some kind of medication? An ambulance? Ice cream? Pizz-"

"Hey, buddy, just calm down for a second." Jack gave a watery chuckle. "Matty, uh, broke up with me. A few minutes ago. I just need someone right now."

Alex nodded although Jack couldn't see him. "Okay. I'll order a pizza and set up Mean Girls on Netflix."

"You're such a chick!"

"Dude, shut up." Alex laughed.

"Alright. I'll be there in, like, two minutes."

Alex hung up the phone after saying goodbye, and stared at his bedroom wall for about thirty seconds. No blinking. Just a plain stare, which was the cause of realisation, that Alex had fallen completely and terrifyingly in love with his best friend.

He flopped down on his bed and then resorted to staring at the ceiling.

"Fuck," he groaned, drawing out the 'u'.

***

After Jack had arrived, and after they'd eaten the whole pizza and watched the whole movie, they were just wordlessly laying beside each other on Alex's twin-sized bed, when "wordlessly" turned into probably the greatest mistake Alex has ever made in his life. Probably.

"I love you." He'd blurted out.

"Wha-"

"Wait, no, fuck, forget I said that, I didn't mean to say it, it just happened, forget it-"

Probably was an overstatement. His rambling had been cut off by the touch of rough lips to his, and with only a second of hesitation, he'd responded back.

***

Alex had woken up that morning with a smile on his face, although confused when he realised Jack wasn't in the bed with him anymore.

He got up and walked into the hallway of his apartment, and smiled when he saw Jack standing at the counter waiting for a cup of coffee to brew.

When Jack noticed Alex's presence, he walked over, planted a soft kiss on his forehead, and led him into the kitchen, whilst Alex's only thought was, Maybe I can make an exception to the whole 'love doesn't exist' thing.
