Are You Dead? (Scolex)

Countdowns and First Dates

The next day Scott woke up with a smile still on his face. He was thinking about seeing Alex again. He was shocked that this brunette, that he just met, was all he could think about. He loved how he could hold a conversation with Alex. He was usually really awkward around hot guy, and Alex sure was hot, but the brown eyed man sometimes brought out his normal confident side.

At work Scott was distracted. It was an hour until he closed up and he wanted the time to go faster so he could see the gorgeous man again. Most people would probably think he was crazy for thinking he would turn up again but he was known for being delusionally optimistic. He hoped that thinking Alex was going to show up wasn't being too delusional.

30 minutes.

Scott glanced at the clock ,that was on the wall behind the counter, for what felt like the 100th time that day. The baritone busied him self with cleaning the coffee stained tables. He placed all of the mugs and coffee take out cups on a tray and made his way to the kitchen, behind the counter. As he placed the tray down his eyes widened and a big toothy smile appeared on his face. For the first time in months nothing happened at work that day. He hadn't even noticed because he was to focused on Alex. He hadn't smashed any mugs, no doors flying open and his clothes were free of coffee stains. The blonde washed the mugs and bin the take out cups before walking out the front of the shop and turning the open sign around to closed. He situated himself at the same table as last night, with his laptop and two iced waters.

5 minutes.

Scott was tapping his foot to the music playing quietly in the background of bottoms on his laptop keyboard.

4 minutes.

He glanced at the clock.

3 minutes.

'Is he coming? he's coming' the blue eyed man thought.

2 minutes.

He refilled his water.

1 minute.

knock-knock

Scott head had never spun around that fast in his life. If he didn't have whiplash it would be a miracle. He quickly stood up and opened the door for the gorgeous man he's been waiting to see all day.

Deep breath.

"Hey" Scott mentally kick himself. He waited all day for him and the first thing he says is 'hey'. He stared at him.

"Hello" Alex smiled. "Are you going to let me in or we sitting outside today?" The brown eyed man laughed.

"Oh-um yeah! Sorry" the taller man awkwardly let him in before closing the door. He shock his head at himself, before taking a deep breath and turning back to his mystery man.

"So, what are we doing today? Hoying" Alex said walking over to the table.

"Um I didn't really plan anything. Fancy a new scenery?" The blonde said with his hands in his pockets.

"Where?" The man said curiously.

"There is a park by my house we could walk through there and then to me house. Um-we could hang out there if you want to." Scott rushed out. He was red in the face from embarrassment and nervousness, which was obvious to Alex. However, he ignored for Scott's benefit.

"That sounds like a plan. Let's go." Alex jumped up excited. He waited for Scott to pack up his thing and lock the coffee shop door.

"So is this a date?" Alex asked out of the blue as they approach the park.

"If you would like it to be" the singer said glancing over at him.

"Yes I would" the brunette said smirking over at him.

"Me too" Scott said smiling to himself like a idiot. He honestly didn't think Alex liked him back.  It was a great feeling to know your crush liked you back. Scott was excited and less nervous knowing the feeling was mutual.

Scott was in his head thinking about.. Everything, when he felt something touch his hand. He looked down and saw Alex's hand bumped against his own. The blonde took a deep breath and interlocked their hands. Their both looked down and back up before their eyes locked for a few seconds which felt like hours. Looking into Alex's eyes made Scott's tummy turn like butterflies you would get when you were nervous or in his case in love. He started thinking was he in love? Does he love Alex? He only met him yesterday but it feels longer.

They walked to Scott house hands interwind. Scott noticed that Alex liked to here stuff about Scott but doesn't really talk about himself. He knew a few details like his age 25. Where he was from. And a little about his family. He was the only child.

They made it inside Scott's house and cuddled on his couch.

A/N- yay!!
Until next time
