AN: These are my actual fav so shut up and read it. College AU

John had gotten colds before, but this was awful. He was burning up and then he was freezing, and then he felt as if he'd throw up, and then everything was back to normal and he wanted to get to his classes. The cycle repeated in an endless loop, and it was only 6 am.

"Hey, Johnny boy," Alexander came from his room, smiling like he always was on Friday morning.

John just grunted, too tired to formulate a response.

Alex switched his course and sat down next to John on the couch. "John, what's up? Are you sick?"

John opened his eyes and looked at Alexander. He's so pretty, if I could just.... no. "I'm fine, Alex. You better hurry if you want to get to class,"

Alex shifted closer to John. "What if I don't want to go to class," he said softly.

John turned a pale pink. "Alex, you're record is perfect and you always want to go to class. I'm starting to think that you're sick,"

Alex rested his head on John's shoulder. "No, I think I'll skip classes today,"

"Why?" John was aghast.

"There's this really cute boy, and I want to spend my day with him. I don't believe him when he tells me that he's not sick." Alex looked up at him slightly.

"I, um," John stuttered, unable to process.

"What do you think, John?"

"I think I would kiss you if I wasn't sick," John said impulsively.

Alex sat back and folded his arms. "I think I deserve a kiss regardless of how sick you are,"

John was surprised he has even made it this far in the conversation. He and Alex never talked like this. They were just best friends. "You'd get sick too, and I can't risk that,"

Alex rolled over so he was in John's lap with one hand on his chest. "All the better excuse to stay home with you,"

John blushed harder. "Alex, are you drunk?"

Alex looked sort of offended and slacked his grip. "No, of course not. Do you not want this?"

John grabbed Alex's wrist as he tried to withdraw. His eyes said he was hurt and conflicted, and Alex felt a sudden urge to hold him closer.

Alex was in the mood to follow urges.

He took John's waist in his arms and leaned down so John's head was tucked into Alex's neck. "Are you....okay, sweetheart?"

John wrapped his arms around Alex and squeezed him tight. "Do you really?"

"Do I really what?"

"L-like me?"

Alex pulled away a bit and saw the tears welling in John's eyes. It felt like a punch to his chest, one that knocked the breath from his being, forcing him to act where he usually wouldn't.

Alex pressed his lips tightly to John's, taking his face with one hand and his hip with the other. John flinched, then realized it was Alex, melting into the kiss and pulling him tighter.

They stayed like that for a good while, and then Alex rolled off his lap and checked the watch on his own wrist. Laughing, he stated, "Well, now I don't have a choice about going to class. I'm already late, so I might as well stay home with you,"

John blushed and said softly, "Sorry,"

"I regret nothing,"

"That's what you say in the moment, but what about when you get behind for being absent?"

Alex snuggled up next to John and pulled John's body towards his. "I'll deal somehow, I'm sure. Maybe I should get a consolation kiss though...."

John glared up at him. "Alex, quit joking around. I'm not kidding,"

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"What?"

"You told me to stop joking around,"

"So you're really serious?" John's gaze changed from irritated to somewhat hopeful.

"I'm deadass,"

"I can't take you seriously when you talk like that,"

"John, would you please answer the question?"

"Yes, I will,"

"Good, because I'm starting to feel sick and I don't want to be trapped in the dorm with someone who doesn't like me back,"

John groaned. "I ask one thing of you: stay away from me when I'm sick. What did you do?"

"I kissed you," Alex muttered.

"I would slap you if it wasn't going to damage your beautiful face," John smirked, elbowing him.

Alex turned red. "Sh-shut up, John,"
