Chapter Twenty:

It's been a long time since they last had a date night.

Alex never complains but it does annoy him just a little when Hank focuses all of his time on his science. Alex gets it, he does. It's his passion and Alex loves that but the blond wants a little time with his boyfriend. It had been three weeks since he last saw him, does he even come to bed at night? Alex doesn't know but he doesn't want to appear clingy.

He knows it annoys people, his ex's always say that he will never find someone if he depends on them for affection. So he tries a different way when he gets a new boyfriend but nothing appears to be working. Either he is too clingy or too distant. He just doesn't know how to fix it, his foster sister said to never change but it seems he has no choice but to. Alex tried bugging Hank in the beginning but he sensed that he was getting annoyed so he backed off, thinking that he would have a boyfriend who was distant but it neither works.

Why is his bozo so confusing?

Then suddenly Hank started to pay attention to him. Yesterday he was walking down the hall when Hank was suddenly in front of him and pulled him into a deep kiss. "Let's go out tomorrow." He stated. It wasn't a question he knew that for sure. Alex just wasn't too sure anymore, should he act affectionate or not?

Well it was tomorrow and Hank had whispered into his ear telling him to get ready and Alex didn't fight. He didn't want to but what was his goal? Did Hank love him? Some nights he would whisper he loves him into his skin and act as if Alex was his whole world then ignore him for the next few weeks and Alex's emotions were everywhere.

Because they were everywhere, he would snap and act out without meaning to. He was just so confused. He felt bad that he snapped at Sean when he just asked if he wanted to hang out. Sadly everyone else was also in the room and Sean had looked so hurt. Alex had apologized and didn't know whether to feel guilty or say he wanted to hang out and ended up leaving the room, completely overwhelmed. Was he going crazy?

Maybe he was.

He looks in the mirror, not sure if he was wearing the right clothes. Hank didn't say what type of attire to wear so he just hoped this was alright. He walked out to see his boyfriend in the room, all ready to go. "On a scale of one to ten, how do I look?" He asks and Hank smiles at him. "A ten." He says wrapping his arms around the blond making him smile. He hugs back, glad he can show affection tonight and sighs content. He missed his touch.

He pulled back with a smirk. "On a pH scale." He says and Alex frowns. Ouch that hurts, nice to know he was basic. He was smarter than he looks, he got nineties in Chemistry and Biology. "Wow." He says and decides to act dumb. It was probably better for Hank to think he was pretty dumb, nobody likes pretty faces that were smart. Especially blond's, he learned that pretty quickly and Hank chuckles as he kisses his cheek. "Are you ready?" He asks and Alex just nods, he didn't trust himself to speak.

As Hank leads him out of the room, he wonders again if Hank truly loved him or not. He still didn't figure out his goal. He was still so confused. Was this relationship even healthy?

He didn't want to know the answer.

He didn't know if he could handle the answer. 

A/N- Man, this chapter got darker than I intended. Oof, I typed this up yesterday, man what was going on with my brain yesterday?

A/N- There will now offically be a part two to this!
