Halex/McSummers Prompts

Chapter Twelve

"I know you're busy but can we cuddle? I miss you."- Alex Summers

Alex feels like he never sees his boyfriend anymore. Even when he goes down to the lab, Hank doesn't talk to him. Alex would try but then the brunet would get frustrated and ask why the blond was here and it hurt when he said that. The teen shrugged and said that he was bored and Hank told him to go and bother someone else.

Currently he was walking through the halls aimlessly tired and bored. He freshly showered after he took an hour and a half run and ate something afterwards. Alex's legs were shaking but he kept on walking around, hoping someone was free so he could just do something.

 After walking around for what felt like forever he declares a 'fuck it' and goes to his room. A nap sounded good at the moment. He opens the door and looks down when he sees Hank up and ready. "Hey." He says quietly and Hank kisses his cheek. "I've got to go and finish the Blackbird." He says and goes to walk out when Alex turns and tugs at his sleeve.

The scientist looks at him and Alex fights back the tears. Dammit he was tired and sore. He missed his boyfriend, he has the right to be slightly emotional at the moment. "I know you're busy but can we cuddle? I miss you." He says and he sees his boyfriend soften and give him a soft smile.

"Of course." He says softly and herds Alex to the bed. Hank lays down and pulls Alex down on top of him. The blond instantly relaxes and his muscles twitches in pain after being tense for so long. He groans as Hank gently rubs his hand along his spine and he shivers. "Relax baby, get some sleep. You look tired." He whispers in his ear and Alex hums as he starts to drift off.

What he wasn't expecting was that when he woke up, Hank was still there.

The blond nearly burst into tears once more but holds them back. He doesn't like to be emotional in front of others, Hank was still trying to get Alex to break those walls down. "I'm sorry that I haven't been around lately." The brunet says gently and kisses the top of the blond's head when he realizes that he was awake. The teen closes his eyes and huffs out a breathe while there hands join together. "I understand." He says quietly and Hank tightens his hold around his boyfriend.

"I promise I will take more breaks more often, you deserve to know that you are the most important thing that happened to me." He whispers and this time, Alex couldn't hold back the whimper that escapes his chest. "I love you Alex." He whispers and the blond lifts his head to look at his lover. Hank softly, gently kisses him and his world finally feels complete.

Hank was good at calming the chaos that happened in his mind. Destroys the evil little voice that nags at Alex in the back of his mind. Whispering, screaming sometimes, that he doesn't deserve this. That no one will never love him, that he was a monster who shouldn't be free.

"Can we cuddle more often?" Alex whispers and the scientist grins. "Hell yeah." He says and Alex nuzzles into Hank's arms once more. Feeling safe in his boyfriend's arms.
