Thomas POV
FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK
Calm the fuck down Thomas you're gonna be ok just go out there and sing, it's almost the end of the night, just this song and you're out of here, cmon Alex is watching, waiting as always...
*flashback*
The recording of the album was taking too long, Thomas was not as famous as he is now but he was launching himself upwards, Alex was there supporting him as always, eating a burger while hearing his boyfriend rap, Thomas winked at him making Alex blush like an idiot. The recording lasted 15 hours, Alex was still there, eyes dropping but somehow keeping them open , Thomas carried him out of there
" hey there tommy how're you"
Thomas laughed and kissed his boyfriend's forehead
"Sleep a little baby I'll wake you up when we get home"
*end of flashback *
Thomas smiles sadly at the memory and walks into the stage
"Listen up folks this is the last song of the night" cue deception 'awww' from the crowd, Thomas waits for it to end before continuing "this song is a new one, it's kind of different from the others but it means a lot to me, and before we start I'd like to say sorry to any gal or pal who was hoping for me to be single, the rumors are true, this goes to my boyfriend" Thomas couldn't finish because of some girls screeching or some people screaming 'no' Thomas chuckles "sorry folks I'm already taken, Alex love this is for you" he glanced at the first row and catching a glimpse of Alex crossing his arms " for this song I need your help" he starts clapping until everyone is doing it too and he starts singing.
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars?
Thomas glances at Alex who has tears in his eyes both of them remembering one of their first dates when they were still seeing if it would work out
*flashback*
Alex and Thomas sat together at the top of a hill watching the stars a blanket covering both of them, suddenly an airplane passed over their heads
"Look a shooting star" Alex said before pointing at the airplane "make a wish"
"That's a plane you dumbass" Thomas said turning to Alex who had his eyes closed tight and his nose scrunched up "you can't make yo-"
Alex covered his mouth and let out a low 'shhh'
"Can we pretend it is, please?"
I could really use a wish right now
"I could really use a wish right now Thomas"
*end flashback*
Alex has tears trailing down his face, surprised Thomas remembers his words
It breaks Thomas' heart to see him cry but he was no much better he is shedding some tears too as he forces himself to continue
Wish right now
Wish right now
*flashback*
They had had some more dates that always seemed to end on a rooftop, hill, tall building, anywhere they could see the stars, and each time Alex found a plane to ask a wish to this time the were laying together, cuddling on Alex's balcony, Thomas was busy admiring Alex, how the stars and street lighting illuminated his beautiful features , how his hair formed a halo around his face, he reached his hand to cup his face, Alex looked up
"Do you need something" Thomas only kept staring "earth to Thom-"
He was cut off by Thomas' lips on his Thomas sat up carrying Alex with him and sitting him on his lap, wrapping his arms around his small waist while Alex cupped Thomas' face, after a few minutes they broke apart, Alex looked up to the sky catching a plane
"Make a wish" said Thomas who was hugging him close to his chest
"Why?" Asked Alex pulling away from their embrace "my wish just came true"
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now
They became official and from that day on when times got hard they sat together watching the stars waiting for an airplane to appear, ready to ask for something
*end of flashback*
Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Thomas just wishes it all stayed like before
'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
*it'll stay in flashback until I say so*
The first party Thomas was invited to because of his music was crazy, the music was top volume, there was so much alcohol that the nights out with the hamilsquad seemed like a children game, people was flooding the place and colorful lights danced across the floor and walls.
It wasn't too long until they were both drunk and out of their minds, bodies pressed grinding against each other with the rhythm banging on their ears, none of them remembered much after that, their only anchor to the past was the realization that they woke up naked in the same bed intertwined, regardless of not remembering, none of them regretted a thing, after all they loved each other
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
Then there was the styling, how Thomas had to throw away the majority of his clothes to fit into the 'famous guy' role, how they got a bigger, 'prettier' house and each week a new party that Alex stopped attending to.
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
Only some people (close friends) knew about them dating but it was a matter of time until the media catches up
"THOMAS" a guy with a camera yelled at him to get his attention "WHERE'S ALEX HUH THOMAS?"
Thomas glanced back at him and put on his sunglasses and cap before running off to his apartment
"Hi babe" a disheveled Alex peeked his face over the kitchen counter "how was your day?"
"Are you okay Alex?"Thomas walked to the kitchen only for Alex to block his view "Alex baby, what's wrong?, is someone here?" A hint of fury and hurt crossed Thomas' face as he gently pushed Alex out of the way only to find a table served with steak and salad on the plates, candles illuminated the room and there were roses along the floor and around the room " baby what's all this?" He inquired
"Well I was hoping we could have dinner together and then we could..." Alex looked up at Thomas lust clouding his eyes "have some time for ourselves, you know, maybe you could take a quick break today"
"Why today?" Confusion was clear in Thomas' voice
" you really don't know?" Alex seemed really hurt " Thomas today's our three years anniversary" realization hit Thomas like a truck "god, Thomas I even went out to buy the food, I cleaned the house, I cooked, I bought you flowers, I had a whole night planned out" tears were brimming the corner of his eyes "you know what? Forget it, I wasn't even that hungry, I'm gonna take a bath , eat the steaks if you want to"
He dragged himself out of the kitchen
" C'mon Alex you're being over dramatic" Thomas tried to reason " it's not a big deal anyways"
Alex just shook his head and kissed Thomas in the cheek before heading up the stairs, half an hour later Thomas went to the bathroom and knocked gently on the door before opening it
"Hi honey" he walked towards the tub while taking his jacket off " I'm sorry for not remembering"
"It's ok, I over reacted" he looked at Thomas "hey wanna join me?"
Thomas took the rest of his clothes off and got in the tub with his boyfriend hugging him and kissing down his neck, lets just say part of Alex's plans did came true
They both hoped it would be the last time he was late and the last time they fought... oh boy, if they only knew what was waiting for them.
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
Thomas drowned himself in fame and money, too occupied with his career to pay attention to his supportive boyfriend who needed him so much, who now watched the stars alone and whose only wish to airplanes was for Thomas to come more often
And when you starin' at that phone in your lap
And the storm came, Alex alone in the bed like many other nights when Thomas would come home until it was still dark but it was also the next day, too busy recording or giving interviews
The boom of thunder haunted him, the lightning gradually cornered him into the closet, he took out his phone and called Thomas until he lost count of how many times the recording had answered, of how many messages he left on the voice mail
And you're hopin' but them people never call you back
Not once did Thomas answer, Alex woke up in the closet the next morning, he walked out and found a note on the pillow, it read
'Hey darling I don't know where you are, call me when you get home I have to go to France I'll be back in a week'
* end of flashback *
Oh how Thomas wishes he had answered his phone, or checked the weather, or stayed home
But that's just how the story unfolds
There's nothing he can do now for his past self, but he can do something about his relationship now, and he WILL try and save it
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel in the sand
What would you wish for if you had one chance?
Thomas still remembers how they had planned their lifes, a wedding, the children, the house, the traditions... EVERYTHING
So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
*flashback*
Thomas ran to the airport, he had missed Christmas, thanksgiving, his birthday, their fourth anniversary, valentines day, New Year's Eve; he couldn't lose Alex's birthday too
"Where's platform 27 I have a flight to New York" he said to the girl on the cashier ( I have no idea how airports work, have mercy please) "it's for 7:40"
"I'm so sorry sir" the girl said while fixing her tie "the plane left 10 minutes ago, it's already 7:55, we only have a five minute tolerance"
" do you have any flights to New York today?" Hope was laced to Thomas' words " please, it's my boyfriend's birthday"
"Let me see what I can do" the girl typed something on her computer " ok, let's see we have a flight for 4:30 pm today, do you want a seat?"
"Yes please" he sighed, happiness filled him , he was gonna make it
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
He didn't make it, he got to New York at 12:45 am, and he got to the house until 2:15 am, needless to say, Alex was already asleep.
