Kellin's POV

Fall is one of those seasons that I find beautiful. Not to say that I like it. I'm okay with the cold, but ever since I moved down to California, I've gotten used to warmer weather.

I'm in online school, which means I can travel more often. My mom wanted to go back to our hometown for the winter, so she convinced me to go early. I had no choice in the matter anyways; it's not like I really have an excuse.

I'm sitting in the backyard of the home my grandmother owns. There's an old swing where I used to sit all the time. So obviously, I'm sitting on it now listening to music and gently swinging my legs. My eyes are closed and I'm just enjoying being out here (I'll have you know, I'm wearing a really thick hoodie right now).

Abruptly, my music stops. I'm confused. I open my eyes and notice a blue haired boy standing there with my ear buds in his hands.

"What the fuck?" I grab the ear buds from his hands, infuriated with this stranger. How in hell does he think he has the right to remove my earbuds from my ears?

"Sorry." He says, raising his hands in a surrendering gesture. My mouth drops open. I recognize that voice!

"Alex?" I ask in shock.

"Yep, that's me." Alex says with a grin.

I jump up and hug him. I haven't seen him in years. We used to have a thing actually, but we never really developed it, so it's not like it was a huge deal when I moved.

"When in holy hell did you dye your hair blue?" I ask him. I'm still hugging him.

"Like a few weeks ago. I was getting bored with the brown I had going." Alex answers, and that's when I pull away.

"It's really good seeing you again. It's been forever." I say, just staring at him. He's a lot taller than he used to be and it's obvious his face matured. Probably not his personality though.

"You too. You haven't grown at all." Alex says with a smirk.

"Oh shut up," I roll my eyes, "How did you know that I'm here?"

"Word travels my friend." He ruffles my hair and I swat his hand away. Even though it's been forever since I've seen him, it's almost like we've never gone a day without seeing each other. I can feel the old feelings towards Alex already starting to resurface.

"Well wow okay. How've you been?" I sit down in the grass. It's fucking cold, but I ignore it. Alex sits down beside me.

"Pretty good actually. My grades suck dick as usual." Alex informs me.

"Just like you." I say with a grin.

"And you. Don't go telling me you turned straight, young man." Alex says in a mock serious tone.

"You can't turn straight, just like you can't turn gay. So yes, I'm still as gay as they come."

Alex raises his eyebrows, "And have you came?"

I hit him on the arm, "Seriously Alex."

"No I'm serious."

I shrug, "Maaaaybe."

"Oh my god," Alex's mouth drops open, "You lost your virginity and I wasn't the one to take it away."

My face goes bright red. Alex is giggling.

"You know you can still come without losing your virginity." I say.

"Yeah but I can tell that you did. It's written all over your face." Alex says smugly and I sigh. Before I can say anything else, he asks, "So who was the guy?"

"Well," I start, "His name was Vic. We were in a relationship for a while, but it didn't work out." I actually really liked Vic, but for reasons that I understood, he had to break up with me.

"What happened?" Alex asks, genuinely curious. I mean, it wouldn't hurt to tell him.

"He was really depressed and he tried to commit. He was going to a psychiatric ward, or suicide watch thing, for a while. He said that he still likes me, but it's too much of a hassle to carry on the relationship; for the both of us. So I completely understood." I tell him the short version.

"He must have been a pretty special guy for you to have sex with him." Alex says with a hint of jealousy.

"Yeah he was something else."

We're both silent for a bit. It's kind of awkward now. I can practically feel the jealousy radiating off of Alex. I bite my lip, fidgeting with my sweater sleeves. I don't like this awkward silence, so I do the first thing that comes to mind.

I tackle him in a hug, sending us both crashing to the ground (even though we were both already sitting). Leaves crunch underneath us, and I'm on top of Alex. I grab a fistful of leaves and stuff them in his shirt. Alex laughs and pushes my hands away, but I keep grabbing leaves and throwing them on him and stuffing them in his shirt and waistband.

"Oh you are so asking for it." Alex says and he sits up, then swiftly picks me up and runs over to a huge pile of leaves my mom and I raked. What the fuck no! I try to escape, but before I can, Alex dumps me into the pile.

"You ass!" I shriek, sitting up in the dispersed leaves. They cover my legs and waist. Alex is laughing hard and I grab hold of his wrist and pull him into the pile.

"Look who's the ass now." Alex says while sitting back up and picking leaves out of his hair.

"Still you." I say, shrugging.

"Nah, you are."

"Nope."

"You're the one who started it." Alex pouts.

"We're not twelve Lex, that argument isn't going to save you from being an ass."

"Then what will?" Alex asks me with a look of thoughtfulness on his face.

"I don't know, come up with something." I say, crossing my arms.

Alex takes a few more seconds to think and I wait patiently. Suddenly, Alex shifts forward and before I can register what's happening, his lips are on mine and he's kissing me.

I don't hesitate to kiss him back. I wrap my arms around his neck as we kiss. His lips are warm, unlike the cool air around us. This is nice.

But all too soon, Alex pulls away. "Did that work?"

I shrug, "Maybe." I say with a smile.

Alex grins and sits back, holding my hand,  our fingers intertwining under the pile of leaves. I can't stop smiling.

"I missed you Alex." I say.

"I missed you too."
