Good Boy (Hamilton Lams fanfic)

Apart For a While

John's POV

"It's so fun cuddling with you as a cat." I said, Alex was cuddling me on the carpet floor. "You're so soft." he stroked my fur slowly. "Hey you wouldn't be weirded out that you're making love with a cat?" I asked him. "Not at all, but please don't shapeshift into a cat while we're doing it." he said. "Don't worry, I kind of managed to control it anyway." I said. "Oh yeah? Well show me then." he raised his brow. "Gladly." I pleaded. I ran around the house, shapeshifting into a cat then human every three seconds. But when I was about to land on the floor, I accidentally turned into a human, so I fell face down on the floor. "You okay?" Alex was stroking my hair, hoping I would get up. "Yeah, I failed to land on my feet." I said, my face was still kissing the floor. (KNOCK! KNOCK!) "Who could that be?" Alex stood up and went to the door. The mailman handed Alex a letter, "For you." he gave me the letter. "Can you read it for me please?" I was on the floor face down.

"Dear John,
This is your mother. I know things got a little out of hand back in Japan, but I forgive you. I know you're wondering why I'm the only one forgiving you, well it's because, your father commited suicide. He left a note to me saying that there's no point of him being a father when his son is in a relationship with a man. It's really hard to comprehend but I'm inviting you to come in his funeral in Japan, but I suggest not to bring Alex.

Sincerely, your mother."

"So are you going?" Alex asked me. "Of course, there's a free ticket here and I can't just waste it." I pleaded. "You're serious? I was actually being sarcastic." apparently Alex doesn't want me to go, his using his sarcasm once again, this time I'm not impressed. "I have to go, it's my family's tradition to go to a family member's funeral, even though they hate you for being gay." I said. "John please don't leave me~" Alex interlocked his fingers to mine. "Aww, you're adorable when you're starting to miss me." I smiled. "Don't worry, I'll only be gone in 48 hours." Alex started to hug me, "You mean 2 days?" he asked. "Exactly." I said. "It's getting late, we should go to sleep." Alex looked at the clock

When Alex was sleeping, I woke up. I looked at the bedside clock, it's currently 2:17 am. Well, time to prepare my things. I packed up my clothes and other things I need, I looked at Alex. I can't just leave without him knowing, if I do, he'll just start to panic. I'm leaving a note to him.

Alex's POV

I woke up and I found a yellow sticky note stuck to my phone.
"Going to Japan, I left in 3:00 am because the ticket says the plane will leave at 4:00 am.

I Love you, x"

Aww, how sweet of him to leave a little note with a kiss in it, God I'm sooo in love with him. Well, time to start a day without my boyfriend, I hope this day would be fine. Time to go to work. But this time I'll just buy some breakfast in the convenient store. I'm too lazy to cook or maybe I just really miss him, though he left in 3 in the morning.

"Why good morning, mon ami." Lafayette greeted, usually he's with Herc all the time. "Mornin' Laf, where's Herc?" I asked. "He said he was going to have a maternal leave." he said. "But Herc's not a woman nor has a child." I asked pretty confused. "His cousin gave birth and she asked him to watch over the baby." Laf said. "Yet I'm still impressed that he has some father material in him." he whispered to himself. "What?" I asked. "Nothing! Nothing!" he denied. "Laf, I'm not deaf." I implored. "(sigh) Je suis amoureux de lui, profondément amoureux." he said in French. "(gasp) you're in love with him?!" I asked in shock. "I thought you can't understand French." he said. "Laf, I know French for a long time." I said. "I don't even know why I love him." he started whining. "Sometimes you don't know exactly why you love someone, like me, I don't even know why I'm in love John, but I don't really care because I love him that much." Laf laughed at me, "Thanks for the solid advice though." I patted his shoulder. "No problem, anyways I have to go to my office now, see ya." I waved at Laf and went to my office. I sat down and I started my work, no distractions whatsoever. Wait a minute, no distractions? What is going on? Great, now I'm distracted from nothing. Calm down Alex, you're just stressed because John's not around, you'll get through this day just fine. "Mr. Hamilton." I jumped from my seat when George stepped in. "Ah! Oh it's just you sir, can I help you?" I asked him. "Uh, Hamilton, are you okay? You seemed a little jumpy, what's bothering you?" he said. "Well, my 'girlfriend' went to Japan this morning and I sort of missed her already." George started laughing a bit, "I think you have a case of 'Clingy Boyfriend'." I looked perplexed when he said that. "Clingy Boyfriend?" "It means you're quite overly attached to someone and you're starting to miss them even though they just left a few hours ago, but it's quite normal for a young man like you." he explained. I am a 27 year old man, I don't know if that's young. I mean George is 41 years old, guess being 27 is young for his perspective. I hope John gets back, I miss having him by my side when we sleep, eat and going out.
