This chapter is based on when John and Alex are in college. They have been dating for about a year now. They live together. They sleep in separate beds. Because I know someone was going to ask. Enjoy! ;)

John's POV

I woke up to the loud sound of a blaring alarm. I blinked my eyes repeatedly until they could get used to the morning brightness.

"Oh crap!" Alex half yelled and half whispered as he raced over to his phone. He tapped the button to make it turn off. I made a small groan as I sat up from my bed.

"Alex, It's a Saturday. Why are you working?"
He looked at me kind of worriedly.

"Uhhhhhh, paper due tomorrow?" I gave him a dubious look.

"You really are a horrible liar. Besides tomorrow is Sunday. Our teachers are rough but not that rough." I climbed out of bed and picked up my hoodie from the floor. It was a maroon hoodie with the words "Non-Stop" printed on it in bold white letters. It was actually Alex's jacket but I stole it from him.

"Do you want me to make you anything babe?"
Alex seemed to blush at the nickname. I guess it was still new to him, but to me it just seemed normal.

"Uh, no. I'm good thanks though." He gave me a small genuine smile. I smiled back and then continued walking into the kitchen. I looked at the turtle tank where Ankle and Phillip sat peacefully. I picked them both up with one hand and snuck out back into the bedroom. I gently set one one on Alex's head.

"Ok, don't move." Alex froze up.

"John, you did not put a turtle on me." As the turtle gently laid itself down on his head ( or whatever the heck a turtle does).

"Yeah, I did." I said as I giggled.

Alex gently picked up the turtle and put it on the bed and then went right back to writing.

"Aw, you're never any fun," I pouted as I laid myself upside down on the bed, stroking Ankle's shell with the tips of my fingers. I looked at Alex as he was furiously writing away. I placed my hand on his. He looked at me with those soft gentle eyes.

"Do you wanna go with me to get a coffee?" I looked into his deep eyes as I used my puppy pouty face. He sighed, looking back at his computer to me then back again. He gave a small smile.

"Fine!" He said while dramatically throwing his head back and his arms in the air.

"Great! Get your shoes on and let's go!" I said as I pulled him to the living room. I let go as he went to go find a pair of shoes and I went to go find a hair tie for my hair. After we both found our things we went out and walked to the closest coffee shop on campus.

We both walked in a somewhat comfortable silence as we held hands. We got smiles, we got glares, we got nods, we got disapproval, we got pride calls, but who cares what other people think? They don't matter.

We finally got to the coffee shop. I ordered my usual mocha iced coffee with a drizzle of caramel and Alex ordered his usual black coffee with cream and sugar and an excessive amount of espresso. After they gave us our drinks we picked a booth in the corner by a window. It was a cloudy day but it was perfect.

"Hey Alex?"

"Yeah John?" He seemed to be snapped out of a dream. I looked at him closely. His beautiful intelligent eyes and his gorgeous black hair tied into a ponytail. It was time.

"I love you." I felt the heat rise to my cheeks. I felt the burn in my body. I felt the butterflies go crazy in my stomach. It was the first time I said it out loud to him. It felt like it was time though. I saw Alex blush intensely.

"I love you too John." He said with a goofy smile. We then just sat there in comfortable silence. Staring out the window as we sipped our drinks. It was perfect.

Alex's POV

"I love you." Oh crap. That came out of nowhere. Oh, uh, what do I say? Should you do finger-guns? No, no, bad idea. Say I love you back you idiot.

"I love you too."

Ok, did that work? John smiled, a real genuine smile. Ok, it worked. The thing was though, it felt....right. It felt good. We sat in a strange new silence. But it felt right. It felt right.
