"So you met this boy well over two months ago, you've been dating for almost two and he's possibly leaving?" Alex countered, trying to understand completely what he was just told. Alan nodded and played with the napkins dispenser.

"Do you know what'll happen from here? I mean you met the father and he seems to really like you, but what happens if they still move?" Kellin asked. Alan gave a shrug.

"I honestly don't want to think about that right now." He mumbled.

The three boys were currently sitting in a coffee shop, chatting and having a good time while their boyfriends and Aaron did whatever the hell they wanted. It was honestly unplanned, Alex and Kellin just so happened to be together and at the same place Alan was at.

"Why are they even possibly leaving in the first place?" Alex asked.

"Austin's dad got offered another job, and so far he's taken in. They're leaving in two months but Austin's trying to convince and beg his dad to not let them move. That's the main reason I even met the man, just so he could see the reason why Austin is so reluctant to leave." Alan explained, both Kellin and Alex awed, staring at the ginger boy.

"He must really, really like you then, I'm pretty sure if Vic got absolutely annoyed with me he'd leave for a few days but then come crawling right back." Kellin said, making the two boys grin.

"He's the first boyfriend I've ever had and the one I intend on keeping," Alan mumbled, his cheeks warming when the words left his mouth. Kellin and Alex awed again, fawning over the small ginger.

"I'm glad he makes you happy, you two are cute together." Kellin said, Alan's cheeks warmed up even more and he bit his lip to keep from smiling like a goof.

As the day carried on, Alan found himself missing the brunette dearly and wanting to see him, but Kellin and Alex kept taking him into different stores of the mall, begging him to try on different types of sweaters that they thought were really cute. Of course Alan didn't mind, he really loved sweaters, but he just wanted to go home and have his boyfriend over so that they could take naps together.

"Try this on, it looks cute." Alex said, passing over a sweater to the ginger boy. It was a dark green sweater that was more Christmas-y than ever, but Alan took it anyways because of the cute snowmen on it.
He walked into the dressing room and sighed, pulling off the sweater he was wearing and setting it down before pulling on the green one. He walked out to Kellin and Alex who were stood with hands full of different coloured and sized sweaters that were either plain or designed.

Kellin instantly awed, seeing the boy swallowed up in the Christmas sweater, his face flushed and his hair messy.

"You look adorable! I'm getting that for you, I don't care what you say." He said, Alan grinned and rolled his eyes.

"Now this one." Alex handed him another one, it was dark blue with white snowflakes.

"What is with you and Christmas?" Alan demanded, turning back into the dressing room. Alex snorted and shrugged.

"I love Christmas. It's the only time that I get to really spend time with my parents and when Jack and I go on lots of dates." He said, Alan smiled and pulled off the snowmen sweater for the snowflake one and stepped out of the dressing room again. Kellin shook his head and Alex shrugged.

"Well I like it, but you don't have to get it." Alex said.

"Then you get it, I don't want it." The ginger mumbled.

For an hour and a half the three boys shopped around for Alan until the ginger finally said stop and now they were looking for stuff for Kellin to wear since the boy was high in his fashion. Alan was currently moving shirts aside on a rack, looking at some of the t-shirts he'd never wear in a million years but he thought Kellin looked good in them, so why not.

Alan turned around quickly, heading back into the dressing room but he ran into someone, making them drop the things in their hands. Alan quickly apologized, picking them up for the stranger. He frowned slightly when he noticed it was Shay.

"Oh, hi, you're the boy that Austin's all over, right?" He asked, Alan refrained from rolling his eyes and nodded slowly. Shay gave a little smirk. "How's he doing anyways?" He asked, running fingers through his hair.

"Austin's fine, he's with his friends right now." Alan said, Shay looked skeptical.

"Are you sure? I mean, he's the type to sleep around sweetie." Shay said, Alan cocked his head to the side.

"I'm pretty sure he's with his friends considering their boyfriends are with me."

"Well, just let me warn you darling, Austin isn't all what he say he is. I mean, you know that party he went to a couple of weeks back?" The gingers stomach began to sink as he nodded slowly. "I hate telling you this, it's really heartbreaking, but he had gotten really drunk and he saw me, instantly coming over and begging me to go upstairs with him. I felt really bad because I remember him saying that he had a boyfriend and I couldn't do that to you and I couldn't let him to do that to you either, so I told him no and he got all angry and left."

Alan bit his lip, shaking his head. "I-I don't believe you."

"Believe what you want sweetie, but I saved him from cheating on you." Shay said, and with that he walked away, leaving Alan dumbfounded and not knowing that to believe. He can't believe Austin was so close to cheating on him, with the same guy he had slept with before they even got together.

Alex walked out of the dressing room with an arm full of different shirts that Kellin didn't like. He smiled over at Alan but instantly frowned when he saw the boy looking upset. Of course his friendly attitude radiated over and he stopped in front of the boy, confused.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked, looking concerned.

"I-I need to go." Alan whispered, his eyes beginning to water as he left out of the store in a hurry. His mind was swimming with questions that needed to be answered, and they needed to be answered now.
