*Alex POV*

After all of our classes ended we went to the hospital because Aaron was being released. I'm really glad he's okay.

John and I were walking together to the Schuyler house because they were going to pick up Aaron in their car. Herc and Laf left before we did so they should be there by now.

We got to the house and headed to the hospital. Aaron was just talking to the receptionist as we walked in. Theodosia walked in behind us and hugged Aaron. We all went out to dinner to celebrate Aaron being healthy.

Since there were so many of us we decided to just go to a buffet outside of town. After what almost felt like 5 hours, we all hugged Aaron and headed home. The Schuylers dropped Herc, Laf, John and I off near our dorm. John and I were walking behind Laf and Herc, so John slipped his hand into mine. I felt heat rush to my face and I faced the other direction to hide my face.

"Do you guys wanna spend the night tonight?" Laf asked us, breaking the silence.

John looked at me with an awkward smile.

"I cant, I have to work on some homework. Maybe tomorrow night?" John suggested.

"Yeah, I have to finish an essay". I added on.

"Its cool. We can just hang tomorrow" Herc said and they went to their room as we walked into ours.

"Since when do you turn down a chance to hang out because of homework?" I asked John skeptically and chuckled.

"I don't actually have homework, I just didn't feel like hanging out tonight." He said as he collapsed onto the couch. I laughed at his response.

"I'm gonna go work on my essay" I said before entering the bedroom and grabbing my laptop.

The quiet chatter from the TV and my fingers clicking against the keyboard were the only noises that could be heard throughout our room.

I finished my essay quickly and walked back out to John in the living room. He had fallen asleep watching TV. He looked so adorable.

I sat down in the chair next to the couch and once I did, John opened his eyes and looked at me smiling.

"I didn't mean to wake you" I said quietly.

"No its okay. I have to stay awake anyway. If I fall asleep now I won't be able to sleep tonight" He said back as he sat up and brushed his hair back with his hand.

He got up from the couch and walked over to me. He smiled at me before sitting down in my lap and kissing me.

"So what do you wanna do tonight?" He asked as my cheeks grew red.

I looked down to hide my face and replied.

"I don't know. Wanna watch a movie together?"

He smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Can we watch Beauty and the Beast? Its one of my favorite Disney movies" He said smiling like an idiot.

I nodded and we layed together on the couch, me in his arms.

He played with my hair throughout the entire movie and I just kept thinking about turning around and kissing him and his soft lips.

The movie ended and we surprisedly didn't fall asleep. John carried me into the bedroom and put me in my bed. He got into his and I was a little disappointed.

"Are you going to sleep?" I asked him, trying to look at him through the dark room.

"No, I just assumed you were tired so I brought you to bed," He said in return.

A smile grew on my face as I got out of bed and carefully walked to his bed. He looked up at me, squinting his eyes. I smiled and kissed him, a lot more passionately than the first time. We both leaned back and smiled, letting a little laugh escape our mouths.

He pulled me into his bed and we layed in it together. John had pulled me close and I rested my face in his chest while he wrapped his arms around me.

We layed there for a while and I hadn't noticed that the whole time I was grinning. I don't think I've ever been this happy before.. Not for a while at least.

I could feel John lean down and kiss the top of my head, which instantly caused my cheeks to turn more red than they already were.

I looked up at him and he smiled. I kissed him, a little longer this time.

He hugged me tighter and whispered.

"I love you, Alexander" Shivers were sent down my back.

"I- I love you too, John" I whispered back, kissing him once more.

We stayed like this until we both fell asleep a few minutes later. I love him so much.. and he loves me back.
