Having a guy's night in was probably the best thing ever. Laf made burgers that were amazing. Alex was still underage to drink, so we didn't have any alcohol, just about a twelve pack of soda. I didn't mind. I'm sure that I wasn't supposed to be drinking yet anyway. But, I could tell it was something Alex really needed after all he's been having to deal with. I saw Alex's phone buzzing on the counter and handed it to him. The number was unregistered. Alex said it was the law firm, and we all silenced ourselves as he answered.

"Hello?.. This is him... Yes, sir... Well, thank you, sir... Yes, sir... Wednesday morning, sir?... Yes... Thank you so much, sir... Have a good evening."

Alex hung up and looked at us. "I got the job!" he said excitedly. I ran up to him and practically leapt into his arms. He gave me a tight hug.

"I told you!" I said teasingly. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down into a kiss, definitely catching him off guard. Alex was at least four inches taller than me, so when I pulled him down, I really had to pull him down. He didn't seem to mind all that much anyway as he was awkwardly hunched over to match my height. Hercules wolf whistled at my sudden burst of confidence. I pulled back and laughed, embarrassed. "I knew you'd get it. I'm proud of you, Alex." He smiled and the four of us mushed together into a huge group hug.

"Today is very possibly the best day of my life," Alex said happily. He nestled his face into my neck and snuck his arms around my hips. "I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too."

"Get a room," Hercules bantered as Alex pulled me into a soft kiss. I laughed and so did Alex, but neither of us pulled back. Laf threw a pillow at us and so we sat back down on the couch, his arms around me and my head on his chest.

After a couple more hours of just hanging out, Hercules left and Laf went to bed, leaving Alex and I alone on the couch. Leaving Alex and I alone making out on the couch. Alex kept his arms around my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through the ends of his hair. He pulled back and smiled at me, playing with a couple of my curls.

"You're so handsome John," he whispered. I blushed and thanked him. We went to our bedroom and he changed into his pjs but I still didn't know if I wanted him to see my scars, even though they were fading. "You can trust me John, but if you want me to leave, I'll wait outside." I shook my head 'no' and took a deep breath as I began to change into my usual t-shirt and sweatpants. Alex just smiled at me. "You really are so handsome John, I wish you'd sleep without a shirt, just once."

I laughed. "I don't need Lafayette to get any ideas," I chuckled. "But I guess it wouldn't hurt. I guess I could sleep shirtless this once and see how it goes." I slowly started to take my shirt off again and went to put it back in the drawer. I looked at myself in the mirror. I am John Laurens. I smiled and climbed into bed next to Alex. He smiled and kissed my forehead. We said our good nights and fell asleep.

For once, I woke up before Alex. He was sprawled out on the mattress. His lanky limbs covering basically the whole bed. One of his arms still habitually wrapped around me. I got off the bed as slowly and quietly as I could, but Alex was a light sleeper. He sat up slowly and moved over towards me, resting his head on my shoulder.

"Good morning, Johnny," he yawned, pressing a small kiss to my bare shoulder. I had forgotten I hadn't slept with a shirt on. "You look as handsome as ever," he smirked. I just laughed a bit. "I'm serious," he said, his morning voice was rough and warm and I loved it. I just patted his cheek and chuckled.

"Thank you Alex," I said.

"I'm being honest John," he said sweetly. "I think you are the most handsome man I've met."
