All Time Slash - Fireworks. (Jalex FanFic)

Chapter 14

Alex had found that there was nothing better in life than lying in bed, under the arm of a person who made you feel like no other, watching the most shittiest movies, ever.

At least, Alex thought they were shit, but Jack was tearing up constantly.

“Come on, it’s not even sad.” Alex chuckled, pressing pause on the remote. He leant up to press a kiss against a tear lingering on Jack’s rosy cheek, “My hair’s soaked from all your crying, too.” He exaggerated, but at least it brought a smile to the American’s face.

“You needed a hair wash, anyway.” The boy grinned, a hand raised to wipe at his eyes.

“I’m going to ignore that comment.”

Jack brushed his lips to Alex’s temple, sighing, “Mm, that’s best.”

“I honestly don’t think we should watch anymore of these, though. You’ll flood my room soon, and then my mum’ll be all pissy.” Alex joked, nuzzling his nose against Jack’s chest.

“I honestly don’t understand your problem with watching these movies.”

“Jack, if they were sad, I’d be crying! But they aren’t, they’re just... not happy?” Alex shrugged his shoulders, his lack of vocabulary was shocking.

“Oh, so, some old lady was best friends with a cute little fox, the fox meant everything to her, and then she has to just let him go? She lets him go, Alex! That fox, who was the best thing in her life because she was lonely, her husband probably died, that fox is now gone! She’s a lonely, old woman again!” Jack could feel himself welling up for what must have been the fifth time at least, but it only caused Alex to laugh harder.

“...It’s a cartoon, Jack. It isn’t real.” He smirked.

“The feelings are real!” Jack cried, retracting his arm from around the older boy so he could hide his face in both palms.

Alex rolled his eyes, pressing pause once more, he made a mental note to leave the Disney films in places where Jack couldn’t find them. He’d seen the boy cry at too many of them now. “I swear, you’re like that Damian kid in Mean Girls, ‘almost too gay to function’.”

Jack separated his fingers and opened his eyes in his hands, “Says the boy who actually watches that film and can quote it.”

“Hey, every man in the world has watched Mean Girls, do not question my sexuality.” Alex smirked, pulling at Jack’s arm.

“Don’t get me started on your sexuality. You know yourself it’s just getting more confused each second that passes.” Jack retorted, finally giving into the struggle to keep his arm where it was.

“When I’m with you, I just like you. You’re the only one that matters. I guess you could say I’m like... Jacksexual, or whatever. When I’m not with you, I’m hetero.” Alex commented, his fingers linking with Jack’s as they rested over his shoulder. “It’s beginning to make sense, to me, anyway.”

Jack just smiled. No words left his lips; he just smiled, and softly kissed the top of Alex’s head.

Deep down though, Jack knew that with Alex feeling the way he does, it would only make things harder for the both of them.

He also knew that not everybody would understand the boy.

I mean, how can you just have one exception? How does that work? If you like a guy, there must be other guys that you’re attracted to. Fall in love with a guy; it’s possible to fall in love with another one. They would argue that nobody is special enough to just be singled out from a gender.
