Rather than not being able to look Thomas in the eye anymore, Alexander found himself with the opposite problem - he couldn't seem to keep his eyes off Thomas.

It wasn't supposed to be like this, he thought as he fiddled with the strings on his hoodie. In the dream world that he envisioned for himself, he was sharing a dorm with a beta, everything would be fine, Alexander wouldn't be lusting over him, and that would be that.

But of course, rarely does anything go Alexander's way.

It was morning, not particularly early but still enough so that Alexander found himself still in bed, putting off getting out of the comfortable warmth as long as possible. And also putting off having to speak with Thomas.

Every moment spent with him was insanely uncomfortable, even the most innocent of conversations still had Alexander's mind drifting off somewhere.. else. How was he supposed to have a conversation with him when he kept imagining sexual tension everywhere?

They had been getting along better though, much better than he would have expected. The Jefferson he had come to know as arrogant and self-centered wasn't actually half bad if you tried to warm up to him a bit. Now the Thomas he knew was charming, funny, attractive- wait. Scratch that.

Alexander didn't need to be fantasizing about Thomas, especially with his heat coming. What if in that state he tried to do something with Thomas? And oh god, he hadn't thought of that before.

What if with his heat-riddled mind and lack of self-control he decided to approach Thomas? Their whole relationship would be shattered, and then Thomas, alpha, would be disgusted with him.

Alexander bunched up the blanket in his hands, taking out his phone and opening his group chat with John and Hercules. Maybe he could stay with one of them for the duration of his heat? He was pretty sure both of them had single person dorms. But no, asking that would sound very suggestive and he didn't want to place such a burden on his friend's hands.

But what else could he do? Either way his dignity would be have to be thrown under the bus, might as well give it up to his friends who have already seen him make a fool of himself.

Alexander took a deep breath and began typing out a message with shaky hands.

hey guys, can we meet up for breakfast? i have a favor to ask of you guys.
a. ham

He stared at his message for a few seconds, nose scrunching up. He sounded way to cryptic and formal. Maybe he could just delete it and never bother his friends about it again and-

The sound of a notification of his phone shook him out of his panic, and with half relief and half dread, he saw that John had replied.

sure, i'm always up for free food :))
j. laur

Alexander chuckled to himself at that, quickly writing out a response.

who said i was paying??
a. ham

h. mull

Alexander's eyes flicked up to the clock at the top of his phone.
