im switching to numbers so chapter 3

Alex's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

*timeskip to Friday

It was happening. Today was the day of our date. I sat in my dorm, pondering whether I shouldn't go. I decided that would be a total dick move, since I had started all this, and began to get ready.
I was half dressed and brushing my teeth when I heard a knock on the door. Shit. I checked my watch. I was already late for our date. "Hey Alex, it's Thomas. Can I come in?"
"The door's unlocked. You can come in in just a sec," I said, pulling my hair into a tight ponytail and grabbing a pair of jeans from my dresser. Suddenly, the door knob turned and Thomas walked in.
I looked down. I was still only wearing my boxers. My face turned red as Thomas stared at me and began to back out of the room. "I'm sorry," he said, his face also turning a bright shade of pink," I thought you said to come in."
"It's fine," I said, quickly pulling my jeans on. We were both still embarrassed. He waited outside until I opened the door myself." Where to?" I asked, trying to act like nothing happened.
"Um, I was thinking we could walk around the courtyard for a little while then get something to eat," he said, lacing his fingers into mine. I nodded as we walked outside and into the courtyard.

Thomas' POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

I internally screamed at myself for walking in on Alex like that. I realized too late that he hasn't invited me in. I looked around the courtyard. It was pretty there at night. The streetlights hit Alex's hair perfectly as he moved his head.
I looked up and saw a familiar face. "James!" I chuckled as I fist bumped him. I looked at his face and was surprised to see how sad he looked. "Hey, what's wrong?" I asked him as I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Oh it's nothing, Thomas." He smiled, but I could tell he was faking it. "Just, you know, exams and papers and stuff."
"Hey, I could help you with some of it, I'm sure," Alex said, trying to be helpful. "No thanks, Alex. I think I'll be fine," James said stiffly. Was that anger in his voice? He had no reason to be mad at Alex, he was only trying to help. Before I could think too much about it, Alex got my attention by squeezing my hand lightly. "Hey, why don't we order a pizza and watch a movie in my dorm? My roommate's out of town right now, so we'll have the place to ourselves."
"That sounds great," I said, putting my arm around him and kissing his forehead. We reached the dorm, and I ordered us a pizza. "What do you want to watch?" I asked, pulling up Netflix on his laptop. "It doesn't matter to me," Alex said, laying out a quilt on the floor. I decided on putting on friends and sat down.
Once the pizza arrived, we ate for a while then snuggled up next to each other on the quilt. I looked down at him. He was so adorable. His soft brown eyes were glued to the screen. His hair looked black in the dark with only the light of the computer screen. "God you're cute," I thought as I put my arm around him.
"Oh really?" Said hamilton, a smirk appearing across his face. Did I say that out loud? "Um, I didn't mean- that wasn't supposed to-" he cut me off by kissing me on the lips. I tensed up at first, but relaxed and began to kiss back. We held the kiss until we were gasping for breath. I kissed him again as I pulled him closer to me. He put his hand under my shirt and put his hand on my back.

Alex's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------
I pulled him closer as I felt his back . I moved my hand slowly to his chest then down to his abs. Damn, he was fit. He kissed my neck as he slowly unbuttoned my shirt. He stopped for a moment so I could rip his t-shirt off of him. I took off my now unbuttoned shirt and got on his lap as he kissed my lips. Then my friends ruined everything.
"Hey Alex how'd your-" Hercules stopped halfway through the door and gaped at what he saw. Thomas and I both rushed to put our shirts back on. "I'm sorry, Alex," Herc said, averting his eyes," we figured your date would be over by now and wanted to see how it went."
Laf popped their head in the door. "Mon Ami, you owe me ten bucks. Now, let's give these two some privacy. They pecked herc on the lips, winked at me, then gently closed the door.
"Well I guess that killed the mood, didn't it?" I said, turning to look at Thomas.
"Yeah, kinda." His shirt was on inside out and his face was bright red. "I guess I'll head back to my dorm," he said, standing up and grabbing his shoes.
"Wait," I said, grabbing his arm,"it's too late for you to walk all the way back to your dorm. Just stay here for the night. "Okay," Thomas said, getting into my bed. I snuggled up next to him and before I knew it, we were both asleep.

James' POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

I had heard Thomas say something about going on a date with Alex, but I just shrugged it off. He joked around like that all the time, and I thought that was exactly what he was doing. I mean, the two absolutely despised each other. I almost cried when I saw them walking hand in hand in the courtyard and realized it was true.
I had had the biggest, dumbest crush on Thomas for a long time now. I couldn't quite remember when it had started, but it had only gotten worse. I may have snapped at Alex when he offered to help me. I hoped Thomas didn't notice.
I felt tears falling from my eyes as he walked away. I had thrown away my shot with Thomas, and I would do whatever it took to get it back.

What's that? An actual plot instead of cliche fluff? Its a miracle! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Love ya
