Changing Lucas (boyxboy)

Chapter 5

When Alex woke up he was in the same position that he was in when he first fell asleep. Lucas was still fast asleep in his lap and Alex's hand was still in his ebony locks. He smiled softly at the boy and decided to wait a few more minutes until he woke him up.

The sun was setting slowly over a few houses, some sunlight pierced Alex's eyes. The hand that was imbedded in Lucas' hair, untangled itself and went up to shield his face. He felt Lucas stir on his lap and shift in his sleep. Alex felt arms wrap around his waist and suddenly when he looked down, a big ball of black hair was pressed into his side. Somehow, that reminded Alex of a small child seeking comfort from their mother.

Alex's eyes shifted downward to look at the sleeping boy and actually wondered how mature Lucas really was. He seemed a little immature for his age. He was seventeen wasn't he? Alex laughed a little, making Lucas' head bob a little. Maybe it was a good time to wake him up...They do have to get home soon.

"Lucas," Alex whispered, "Hey it's time to wake up." Lucas stirred but was still fast asleep. Alex tried again,"Lucas it's time to get up. We have to get home soon."

"Mmmm," Alex heard and felt Lucas' throat rumble against his upper thigh. Alex shook him this time.

"We gotta go. We've been here too long."

"Okay," came the mumbled reply. Alex felt the arms around his waist loosen and slowly Lucas sat up. Alex quietly giggled and watched Lucas become awake. "How long.."

"For awhile I'm guessing. It's almost dark out. We have to get home soon before they leave on their honeymoon," Lucas nodded his head. Alex watched him rub his eyes and start to look around. His ebony hair looked even messier than before, his eyes were a color shade darker than his usual light grey.

Alex stood up and stretched out his numb limbs. He felt two pairs of eyes watching him, but it wasn't Lucas. Lucas' stare was different than this one. He made Alex feel intimidated, but this one didn't. He had felt this one before many times. So many times that he could imagine what they looked like. Chocolate brown eyes with a little bit of gold speckles all over. Those eyes were always filled with happiness and on rare occasions anger... Just the thought of them made Alex's mood brighten just a little and a smile graced it's way to his face.

He twirled around and an even bigger smile came at the sight. "Junior!" Alex yelled and raced over to him. He saw Junior smile and open his arms widely. Alex jumped when he was close to him and wrapped his legs tightly around Junior's waist and his arms were around his neck. Junior's hands went to cup the back of Alex's legs making sure he wouldn't fall. Alex felt tingles go up and down his spine when he felt his hands. He shivered lightly and buried his face in the crook of Junior's neck.

"How are you?" Junior asked Alex.

"I'm fine...," he mumbled.

"Who's that with you?"

"The green giant?" Alex said a little breathless. He was breathing in Junior's scent which he missed quite a bit. It was an earth scent with a bit of mint mixed with it. Junior chuckled making his throat vibrate against the bridge of Alex's nose.

"Yeah him, the kid with that black hair that's coming over here. He looks scary," Junior laughed again.

"He's my mom's friend's son. His dad got married not to long ago... He came from London to move in with us," Alex explained to him.

"What's his name?"

"Why don't you ask him?" Lucas' deep voice rang out. Alex heard some footsteps getting closer and stopping a little ways. "My name is Lucas Knight. And you are?"
