52 Weeks

This Is Halloween

"Aleksandr, come on Aleks wake up." Jordan whispered. He didn't really want to wake the sleeping russian up. However, Jordan had wanted to take Aleks out today. Take a walk in the city, by all the shops and see it all decorated for Halloween. Halloween was his favorite holiday after all. 

A mumble left the drowsy man's lips as he turned over and yanked the blanket over his head. Jordan smirked, resting his head on Aleks' hip. 

"C'mon, we're going to go out today. Just you and me." He offered. 

Aleks turned over, meeting Jordan's eyes for a moment. 

"Does this mean a hot chocolate from Tim Hortons?" He asked. 

"If that's what you want." Jordan agreed, pressing a kiss to Aleks' forehead. Aleks nodded, shooing Jordan out of the room so he could get dressed. Knowing the older man could make any ten minute task into a two hour one. Especially with Aleksandr. 

Aleks came out of Jordan's room in gray sweatpants that hung dangerously low on his hips and a maroon v-neck. He didn't feel like trying to find a brush so his hair stuck out from underneath his beloved gray beanie. 

Jordan's jaw dropped for a moment and his hands swept across Aleks' hips. There were very few things that could fully distract Jordan. Aleksandr in gray sweatpants was one of them. He couldn't help it, the sight of the small russian man looking so comfortable kept him wanting more. The taller man, pulled Aleks into his arms and made quick work of pressing kisses to his exposed neck. 

"You're such a tease." Jordan whined as Aleks bit his lip. He tilted his head, giving Jordan more access. He honestly didn't feel like going out. His anxiety getting the better of him, not that he'd ever let Jordan know that. 

"We could always stay in, y'know? Just you and me all day." Aleks muttered, his voice wavering as he felt Jordan leave a mark right at the base of his neck. Jordan smirked, pressing one more soft kiss to the bite before connecting his lips with Aleks'. Of course it was only for a few seconds and then Jordan was speaking again. 

"We could do that tomorrow. I'm off all week, and today I want to take you out. Besides you need new clothes before those sweatpants kill me." He said, interlocking the two's fingers. 

Aleks sighed but followed Jordan out nonetheless. He had gotten used to doing what Jordan said, as long as it was reasonable. They had become more like a couple than anything else. Which surprised Aleks a bit, but from what Dan had told him Jordan cared a lot about him. It felt nice to finally be cared about. 

Aleks got a little suspicious when they surpassed all the cars and began walking down the street. 

"Where are you taking me?" He questioned. 

"Just around, we are still going to go clothes shopping though. We're just taking the scenic route." Jordan told him. 

They began to walk towards the center of the city. Which wasn't too far from Jordan's apartment. They held hands the whole way and Jordan tugged Aleks into a store on the left before Aleks could see what it was. However his eyes began trailing over the familiar designs and look of the store. His eyes lit up as he realized where he was. 

"Welcome to Hot Topic." The person greeted. 

"I-how did you?" Aleks started turning towards Jordan. 

"I texted Kevin, asked him where you got all of your clothes from. He had said some thrift shop so I asked what was your favorite store. He said here, figured you deserve some nice things after all of the stuff you've been through." Jordan said, he recieved a kiss on the cheek before Aleks darted off to the back of the store. 

The jeans of all colors and sizes and styles were lined up against the back wall. To the left and right were walls lined with t-shirts and tank tops, dresses and fandom items. Jordan wondered how much bribing it would take to get Aleks into the black lace dress on the wall. 

Shopping took almost three hours. Most of it being Aleks putting stuff back because he didn't like the price tag. Then of course Jordan grabbing it two seconds later and silently putting it in the basket he had grabbed. 

Food came next. Aleks' desired hot chocolate in hand and a stop at a restaurant he was way underdressed for. Not that Jordan gave him much of a choice. 

As the sun began to set and the decorations came to life Jordan turned his head towards Aleks. Noticing how the younger man couldn't keep the smile off of his face. He nodded to himself as he started to direct the both of them back to his apartment. Taking note on how Aleks preferred to run ahead and swing around the lamp posts. 

"So I take it you enjoyed today?" He questioned as Aleks swung around and around, waiting for Jordan to catch up. Aleks nodded, with a smile. 

"Although I still feel bad about all the clothes. You didn't need to do that." He said, pressing a kiss to Jordan's cheek, as the two were finally caught up to one another. 

"I'll do anything for you Aleksandr." Jordan replied, as they arrived back to the apartment. He placed all of the bags into the walk in closet attached to his room. 

Aleks jumped onto Jordan's back, slightly surprising the taller man. 

"I suppose I should thank you." He whispered, pressing another kiss to Jordan's cheek. Jordan raised an eyebrow. 

"Give me five minutes and then I'll meet you in your room." He whispered, pressing one more kiss to right behind Jordan's ear. Jordan smirked, helping Aleks slide off of him and going into his room like Aleks instructed. 

Needless to say, he was not expecting Aleks to come out in two and a half minutes and in that black lacy dress nonetheless.
