Chapter Thirty Three:


Hank was going to try something new today.

He really wants a certain blond's attention and he was struggling to find out how to. Talking about science doesn't work, talking about his mutation works for about ten minutes before Alex starts to zone out and get bored. He can't really talk to him during dinner because Charles and Erik keep asking him about Project Blackbird and he is too busy talking about it that he can't speak to the blond.

Life clearly just wants to fuck with him.


He hates having crushes.

However this time today, he just got the thing to (hopefully) catch his attention. Two days ago when he was in the mall with Charles and Raven, his eyes caught onto a shirt and he finds he really likes it. Not to mention, it had something special in it. Now, he feels kind of bad of taking advantage of the fact that Alex spent most of his adolescence years in prison. But he loves the fact that he was the reason why the blond gets so excited over something new that he never saw before. Feels good that Alex was smiling and amazed over something that he showed him. That he was the reason for those beautiful smiles that takes his breath away.

So yeah, he was going to take advantage of it. He was wearing that god damn shirt today and he was going to get the blond's attention, even if he has to make a fool of himself to get it, he will. Sean and Angel had already said that the shirt was awesome and he couldn't help but feel giddy on the inside because if they noticed, he will.

Yeah you probably got the point.

"Hey Hank, can I ask you something?" Sure enough Alex eventually made hi way down to the lab with a curious expression and he grins. "What's up?" He asks and the blond sits down onto a nearby stool that he always claims when he comes down to the lab. (Even though it wasn't often, Hank still made sure that nobody sat in that stool because it was Alex's spot.)

"Do you think Erik and Charles are together?" He asks and Hank blinks a couple of times in surprise. He really wasn't expecting that question. "I mean, they do play chess together quite often-"

"No, I mean together, together? As in boyfriends?" He says and Hank sighs before turning towards the blond. "It wouldn't surprise me. Do you have a problem with that?" He asks and Alex laughs. "Of course not, it's just every time I ask Sean or Darwin they think I'm crazy." He says and the brunet nods. "Well, Erik looks at Charles like how my dad used to look at my mom from what I recall." He says and Alex grins. "You still remember your parents?" He asks and Hank shrugs. "Just a little." He says. "Keep those memories, especially if they make you happy." The blond says and the brunet nods.

It was silent for a few minutes. Hank working away at his newest experiment and the blond, just content on watching. "I love your shirt by the way." He finally says and Hank fights to hold back a full grin. "Thanks, it glows in the dark." He says. "What really?!" He asks then grabs Hank's hand and pulls him to the bathroom. Hank couldn't get a word in before he shuts the lights off to see if he was telling the truth. "Whoa." He hears him say breathlessly as it glows. "I told you it glows in the dark." He says and squints to see the grin on Alex's face. "I didn't know shirts could glow in the dark. Do all shirts glow in the dark?" He asks and Hank chuckles. "No, only some of them. I can get you one if you want." He suggests.

"Hell yeah, that would be awesome." He says excited like a kid on Christmas Day. "Are you gay?" He blurts out and blushes at the question that just suddenly went out into the open. The lights flick on and he blinks a couple of times so his eyes could adjust to the sudden brightness to see Alex giving him a wary look. "Do you have a problem with that?" He asks rather snarky, his voice on the edge of anger. His defense mechanism starting to rise and Hank shakes his head.

"Not a problem at all. It means I can do this." He says and cups the blond's jaw and kisses him. 


A/N- Sorry about that. For some reason I thought I already posted on this website :/
