The Blue Jacket (NovaHD)

Chapter 3~

I could have held him I'm my arms forever but the loud ring of the bell made me pull away, hesitantly. I look down at the younger male to see him pouting at me, disappointed and wanting the hug to last longer.

"Come on Allyyy~, we can't miss two lessons" I sang as I grabbed both his hands, pulling him up to his feet. He sighed.

"Fine, I guess you're right" He surrendered, both of us turning and making our way back into the building hand in hand.

I didn't care if someone saw us. I didn't care if people knew. He was perfect and I wanted to show him off to the world as I gently held his hand in my own. I wanted to call him mine. I never believed in love at first sight before this morning but now I know there's someone out there for everyone. And Aleks is my soul mate. He is the person I'm meant to spend the rest of my life with.

When I look at him everything else disappears. When I'm with him we're the only two people in existence. My body feels weak yet he gives me strength. My heart speeds up as I look into his hazel eyes. Nothing else in the world matters when I'm with him.

I want to make him happy. Everything that has happened to him, everything he's been through. I want to be the one to change that. I want to be the one to change his life around and make him feel like the luckiest person in existence because that what my Ally deserves.

We walked back into the school building, student rushing to their next lesson not wanting to be late. Some making inappropriate comments as they leaned cockily against the stained walls. Aleks had math next from what I recall. I had history which was on the other side of the building but I had to make sure Aleks got there safely. I gripped tightly onto his hand, not wanting to loose him in the crowd. I pulled him through the ignorant people who stood in the middle of the corridor having a conversation but at the same time unintentionally blocking people from passing. We made it to the stairs case leading up to the math corridor on the second floor.

Many people had scattered from this area, probably going to their lockers. I loosened my grip on Aleks' hand, turning so I could see his perfect face. He looked slightly worried on confused, probably because he didn't know where we were but it made him look adorable.

"The math corridor is just up stairs. I'll take you up there and help you find Eddie. He'll then help you through the lesson" I reassured him. I didn't want him to be alone and from I've learnt about Aleks so far he is quite shy and would probably be too embarrassed to go and ask Eddie or anyone for help.

He nodded in response, lookin nervous about me leaving him. I was the only one he felt comfortable around. I was the only one he trusted. Its odd how we've known each other for a few hours yet it feels like we've best friends for years. I'm happy he opened up to me. I'm happy he put his faith and trust in me. From learning about his past experiences he must have been really caution and nervous about opening up to someone, especially someone he's just met.

I slowly pulled his hand towards my face as I softly planted a kiss on his knuckles.

"Everything will alright Aleks, you don't have to worry about anything" I saw his cheeks light up and he diverted his eyes away from me. A smile spread across his face as he used his free hand to try and hide it. The longer I spend time with him the cuter he becomes and the harder I'm falling in love with him.

I giggled, releasing his hand from my grasp but re-placing it onto his hip.

"Come on, let's get you to class" he nodded, placing both hands over his face. I took my other hand and gently pulled them away, Aleks didn't refused and allowed me to do this. His cheeks were crimson and eyes still diverted away from me. I placed my finger under his chin, pulling his face gently towards me. I planted a soft kiss on his lip, he instantly returned it. The kiss was perfect but only lasted a few seconds before I pulled away. Disappointed spread across his face. I didn't want it to end either but someone may see us. I know I said I didn't care if someone did but kissing is a lot different to holding someone's hand.

I kissed the tip of his nose which was a light shade of pink like the rest of his face now. He smiled before closing his eyes and burying his face into the crook of my neck. I wrapped my arms around his body as I gently swayed him back and forth.

"We should seriously get to class" I whispered in his ear as I heard him giggle.

He pulled away smiling, I love that I can make him happy. We both turned to walk up the stairs. Once again hand in hand as we slowly made out way to the second floor.

______________

We were outside Aleks' classroom, only a few people were seated and Eddie not being one of them we decided to wait outside. We were both sat on the floor as I told him stories about me and my friends. I told him about everyone, including Kevin and Eddie who has already met. But I also told him about Jordan, Dan, Seamus, Dexter, Steven and Nick. I told him how some of us have nick names which have been given to us over the years we've spent at this school. How Eddie is sometimes called Sly, Jordan Kootra or Koots, Steven Ze, Nick Spoon and how some people call me Nova. The others weren't really found of nick names so nothing ever caught on. I also told him how Dexter, Seamus, Eddie and Kevin live together and I'll be moving in with them soon.

The rest of them live with either their parents or girlfriends. Jordan lives in a small apartment with Monica and Dan the same with his girlfriend Liz. Nick and Steven live with their parents but moved last year. But I also told him about how they plan to visit at least once a year. I told him that I live with my mom but as soon I have enough time to pack I'll be moving in with Eddie and the guys.

"So what do you guys do as a job to be able to afford to move out?" He asked.

"Well Aleksandr, me and guys have YouTube channels which we post videos. We also have one as a group. It earns a decent amount of money I guess but we aren't that popular. We all also have part jobs in various bars and restaurants. Together its a enough money to be able to live in a house together, everyone pitches in on the house even if they don't exactly live there because everyone uses it. Hopefully one day we will get popular enough to live off of the money we earn from making videos and quit our other jobs, but they may take awhile."

He looked generally interested in everything I was saying. His eyes wide in concentration as I spoke. I giggled as he turned his head away from me, after realising I was looking at him. He's really shy and self conscious which is different from me and the rest of our friends. But its understandable because of his past. I hope he gets along with the rest of the guys because I don't know if I'll be able to choose between them. Between the friends I've had for years and have always stuck by me or the guy I've just met but who trusts me more then anyone, who has no one else but me and who I'm madly falling in love with.

"James?" I heard the Latinos voice question, interrupting my thoughts. Thankful for this because I didn't want to think I would have choose, I didn't want to think I would ever have to be in that situation.

"Oh, hey Sly" I relied, standing to my feet. I reached out a hand to help Aleks up. He looked more nervous now then ever, knowing I would be leaving him soon. After he was stood up I didn't let go of his hand but held it tighter, hoping it would make him feel calmer.

"Don't you have history, what are you doing here?" Eddie questioned but knowing what the answer probably is. 

"Aleks has math with you, I wanted to make sure he would find you alright" I responded before looking down at Aleks. He was looking down at his feet. I need to help him gain more confidence. I want him to be the person he wishes he was because if he's happy with himself then there's nothing to hold him back from doing anything.

"Yayyyyyy, I finally get to spend time with Jame's boyfriend" He giggled and I felt Aleks' grip tighten on my hand. Aleks tensed up and Eddie noticed that his comment had made up uneasy.

"Aleks I'm sorry, it was a joke. Come on dude" Eddie held out his hand for Aleks to take, hoping to gain his trust. Aleks smiled.

"Its fine dude. You don't need to apologise for that" Eddie smiled and lowered his hand after hearing the words leave his mouth. Aleks turned to me, quickly hugging me.

"I'll meet you at lunch okay, Eddie will bring you down to the cafeteria." He nodded pulled away. He looked over at Eddie, walking to his side.

"Okay James, I'll meet you at lunch"
