Old Friends With Benefits (Lams)

Chapter 9~Oui oui mon ami

*Johns POV*

The coffee I and Alexander got was really good. I didn't expect to see Peggy there either. She kept making gay jokes and how I had the hots for him and that I should and I quote "Snatch up that dick before it finds a chick". I also just found out his name was Alexander a few minutes ago. I don't know why we never brought it up. He is starting to sound more and more like my Lexi but I knew it wasn't right. It couldn't be. Though now every day I'm starting to question that more and more.

*Ew that was cringe idk what I'm doing but time skip to French bc I'm lazy*

We both step into the class and I see waving hands towards the back of the room.

"Hey, Lex! Over here!" I hear one of them yell. I see one of the men waving to him. He has a dark brown skin tone and curly hair that was poking out from the grey beanie he was wearing. His arms were heavily muscled as well as his broad chest. He looked like one of the security guards outside of a club. He wore a leather jacket with a teal shirt on underneath. His lip had a piercing as well as 2 piercings on his ears. We wore these ring earrings that slowly stretched them out his ears. He also wore light grey jeans as well. A man sitting next to him was also waving. He had facial hair on the lower half of his face and had a lighter skin tone than the other man. His arms and chest were still muscled, but not quite as thick as the other man's. He had curly black hair tied into a ponytail on the top of his head and also had 3 piercings each on his ears but they were just simple ones. He wore a white t-shirt and had a blue striped button up shirt around his waist. He wore white and dark blue tidied highly distressed jeans and some basic black Adidas striped shoes.

"Hey, guys!" Alex yelled waving back. He strolls up to where they were sitting so I follow. I sit behind the curly haired man and Alex sits behind the other."Guys this is my friend, and roommate,  John." He says. I feel a twinge of pain in my chest at the word friend. Wait we are friends what are you thinking John?!

"Hey, John. Nice to meet you. Hercules Mulligan." The guy in the beanie says, in a deep voice. Instead of a kind gesture, it sounded more of an order from his low voice. He stuck out a thick hand. I shook it, his grip was firm and authoritative.

" Bonjour mon Ami. Je'mapele Marquis de Lafayette. You call me Lafayette or Laf." The other guy chimes in. He had a thick French accent. I wave. Class starts and it drags on forever. I took some notes but that was all I paid attention to other than Alex. I could feel myself falling for him. But I knew I couldn't. It would never happen. Who could love me? No one other than my Mom. I go back to my dorm with Alexander on my tail. I was silent with my head down. I haven't even realized how fast I was walking until he was jogging to catch up. He stopped to flirt with some girls back behind me.

"John! Hey!" He yells sucking me out of my daydreaming and placing a firm hand on my shoulder, gripping it. He was panting slightly.

"Hm?" I respond not in the mood for a conversation.

"What's wrong dude?" He questions. I don't look at him. But instead my grey shoes.

"Nothing I'm fine." Lies.

"Well I mean if you say so." He sighs. We continue to walk in silence. I stroll into the dorm and throw my backpack towards my bed and sit at my desk. I quickly set up my drawing tablet and blast Anthony Amorim's music into my headphones as I quickly and fiercely sketch. After a minute or so I begin to calm down and the lyrics come across. "Now I'm too scared to fall asleep. And I think about us, and who we were. And who we are and what we should be. And I think shit it really sucks, that you can't pick who you're in love with! And that's all that I can do, cause I'm so in love with you. And that's all that I will do, cause I'm so in love with you. I'm stuck with you."  Wow. Since when is music this relatable. I sigh and continue to sketch for a while before I feel a tap. I turn down my music and take off my headphones before turning around in my chair. Alexander places a hand and the back of his neck and sighs.

"H-hey, I was wondering... would you come to the bar tonight? It will be me and my friends Laf and Herc that you met today." He says. Was it just me or was he blushing? I felt my cheeks grow warm.

"I would love to."

*Time skip to the bar after way too much alcohol for my babies. Except for John, who drank only half a bottle of Sam Adams.*

Drunk John, is stupid John. And stupid John makes terrible decisions. This is why I did not drink much. I attempted to wrangle the men up and I managed to get them to my dorm after Hercules tried to scale a wall, and fell, Alexander, tried to run away down an alley yelling "YOU CAN'T CATCH ME IM THE GINGERBREAD MAN!" and Lafayette who tried to stip on a street light. I had to fight him to keep his shirt on. I just took them to our dorm because I had no clue where theirs was. After we got in and had more drunken adventuring in the small room Herc was passed out in the bathtub, Laf ass up in front of the door and Alexander half on the counter. I sigh and put on sweats and I go on my computer to work on some projects. I put my headphones on and continue to blast music. Suddenly, I feel arms snake around me and I jump. I practically throw my headphones and whip my head around.

"A-alexander? What are you doing?" I stutter as my cheeks flush.

"Johnny baby..." He whined. "Come to sleep with me~" 

"What?! No! G-Go to bed by yourself!" I wish I could join him. 

"Johnny..." He started again. I stand up, releasing myself from his grip as I begin to push him back towards his bed. 

"Alexander, get in bed," I order as he struggles against my firm grip on his shoulders. "You need rest." He bites his lip and looks me dead in the eye.

"No John... I need," He quickly breaks out of my grip and dashes behind me. I wheel around and right when I face him he plows me into the bed. He straddles me and looks at me with pure lust. "You." He begins to grind against me as I sit there not sure what to do. I try to get up but he pins me down and leans in for a kiss. I let out a moan before I realize what I'm doing. He was drunk, this isn't ok. I finally manage to pry him off of me.

"Alex your drunk and need to sleep. Good night." I say sternly, leaving no room for argument. He looks at me like he wants to say something but he doesn't. I close my eyes and run a hand over my head, letting out a tired puff of air. I glance over at Alexander, who was now passed out in a matter of seconds and sprawled out. He looks so cute. I watch his chest rise and fall slowly, wishing I could be next to him. After a while, I get up and climb into my bed. I take a last glance at the sleeping man before passing out myself.
