All Time Slash - Fireworks. (Jalex FanFic)

Chapter 19

Josh tossed his head back as laughter escaped from his throat.

“Oh damn, Gaskarth, I can’t believe you’re seriously doing this!” He exclaimed, his hand clutching his stomach as he tried to pull himself together. He found it hilarious that Alex had actually followed his orders, he was impressed, most definitely.

“A week, and not a single word to that little faggot. Have you even looked at him?”

Alex’s eyes drifted to the paving stones of his driveway, “No, he disgusts me too much.” He lied, his voice muffled as he mumbled.

“I bet that’s killing him inside, I mean, it was obvious he liked you. Didn’t you know?”

And Alex knew that Josh was just rubbing it in further, because he knew that Josh knew about his own feelings.

“No, I don’t care.” His teeth were clenched he began to crack each knuckle and finger.

“Ah, of course you don’t.” Josh chuckled, his hands burying into his tracksuit bottoms, cupping his crotch. “I’ve never seen a kid look so miserable though. You’re such a cruel person, Alex.”

Alex’s head snapped up, his eyes narrowed on Josh’s smug face. “I’m cruel?!” He spat, “I’m just doing what you’re fucking telling me to!” He growled, anger licking every word.

Josh shrugged his shoulders, his hands still comfortably warm in the fleece material, “Actually, I’m not telling you to do anything. I’m not forcing you to stay away from Barakat, you have a choice, you know?” He taunted, winking.

Alex’s hands retracted to his sides as he refrained himself from lashing out. “Yeah, I have a choice of either leaving someone who you know needs me, or stay with him, and you tell everybody that I’m fucking queer? What option do you think I’d choose, Franceschi?” Alex muttered, his fingers flexing.

“Honestly, I thought you’d be a good soul and stay with your precious boy.” Josh admitted, but it only caused the smile on his face to grow. “But no, of course not, you’re still that same old cunt I knew back in the day.”

“Just fucking drop it, Josh! I thought if I fucking played along with your shitty blackmail then maybe you’d just fucking give up, but you’re not going to, are you?” Alex snapped.

“Why would I give up? Fuck, Alex, messing with your head is just too fucking funny. I’m not going to give this up, the teasing, the tempting, not until you fucking admit you’re gay, because I know you are.” Josh retorted, his voice becoming harsher. “And this school doesn’t need any fucking faggots in it, just having fucking Barakat is enough to make you feel sick.” And he mimed gagging, a disgusting laugh following soon after.

“I’m not gay, Josh! I fucking told you that.”

“Well, if you’re not gay, then what the fuck are you? I know you’re not straight. You might think I don’t know you Alex, but I do.” Josh fought back, his hands finally pulling out of his bottoms.

“I don’t know, Josh.” Alex murmured, his head ducking down once more.

“Bisexual, maybe?” Josh offered a little help, his palms wiping down his shirt.

“No, I just... I don’t fucking like guys, okay? It’s just...”

And he couldn’t believe this, would he actually fucking tell Josh about what he felt towards Jack?

Maybe if he just told the truth for once, acted like a friend, Josh would do the same. Maybe he’d give in to Alex’s pleas to see Jack again, because fuck, though it had only been seven fucking days, Alex missed the boy like crazy.
