3rd person POV;
John woke up and started to panic. Around him was nothing he knew. He was somewhere he hadn't been before and he knew that could only mean danger. Every time the boy was somewhere he wasn't use to something bad would happen. Shuddering at his previous thoughts he got up off the bed he had been laying in and quietly moved to the door.
He slid it open and peeked out of the crack he had made. The other room was quite big but split into two halves, the kitchen and living room, making it seem a lot smaller than it actually was.
On the sofa was the boy that he had met a few days ago. His eyes were fastened shut and his chest moves up and down softly every few seconds. John walked towards him and heard him purring like a lion.
John decided to sit on the floor beside him. For some reason, his hand urged him to push it through his shiny brown hair. It was softer than he thought it would be. John also found himself looking all over him. His clothes were ragged and disorganised. Dark circles layered under his eyes, almost mysterious.
Reluctantly, he pulled his hand away and dragged him to the kitchen. Rummaging the cupboards, he noticed two things: He didn't eat much, all that was in the fridge was some milk and half a lemon. In the cupboard there was half a box of pancake mix and some cookies. The other thing he noticed was that he loved coffee. There were two different jars of instant and an open bag of real coffee.
After finishing making tel cups of coffee he walked back to the sofa and placed a cup on the coffee table. Once he placed the cup down he noticed Alexander waking up. Slowly he dragged himself off the sofa and was met face to face the the beautiful freckled boy. Quickly, he turned his face and picked up his cup.
"I smelt coffee..." his voice was soft and still drowsy. After take my a few more sips he spoke again "So, do you remember what happened yesterday?"
John nodded his head and watched as Alexander returned the gesture. They spent what seemed like hours just sitting there in silence. Alex glanced up at John and stared into the green eyes that he loved so much.
Johns POV;
I was scared. Another day surrounded by people. I knew it was dangerous. I have one day left. He has helped me so much but if he is around me I would only hurt him. I know that I can't go to school today but how was going to skip school when Alexander was here. He was restraining me but keeping me safe. Why did it hurt for him to do this.
Everything aches. Luckily it was a Friday today so I could be alone tomorrow. I didn't want anyone to see me. See the monster that I would become.
I was already a monster. My vision suddenly went blurry. My throat got tight and I felt sick. Everything was dark and it all hurt. Before I screamed out, two warm arms wrapped around my body. They were small but made me feel safe. Before I could realise, they were rubbing my sides, relaxing me.
I buried my face into the shoulder below me. Now I was weak and alone. Nobody could ever want to be near a weak, damaged monster.
But still, he was there.
For once, even if I didn't know anything about him, I felt loved. But I shouldn't. I know he doesn't love me. He only pities me like the rest.
Alex's POV;
He started to whimper in my arms. He was taller than me but but so skinny that makes him very light. Carefully, I lie him down on my sofa. Even though he turned away, his arm was still gripping mine so I sat down next to him.
Before his panic attack got worse I had to wake him up. Making sure I didn't startle him, I slowly shook his shoulder. His eyes were instantly locked onto mine. I saw the fear inside of him. Any single touch would break his glass body.
Today I would have to skip school. I couldn't let him stay here alone like this.
"Shhh..." I spoke quietly and carefully "everything will be alright. I'm here. I won't hurt you."
Slowly, he nodded his head. "T-thank y-you sir.." he was terrified and I knew at this moment all I had to do was make sure he felt safe.
"Just call me Alex. Don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt you." I was scared to say anything but I knew I had to keep strong do he would feel better.
"Can I go now?" Why would he want to go? He would be in danger if he was on his own.
"I'm sorry but I have to stay to protect you, I promise it will be okay!" I didn't want to hurt him. I won't come too close but I won't go too far. I will let him hide if he needs to.
