soft boy

♡Prologue♡

Lowercase is intended for some of the messaging, but any lower case when in real life isn't intended, so please point it out if you find it.

Most chapters from the next shall be in the common chat format or posts; the person who's perspective we're in will be on the right, and the person they're messaging on the left. Hope that makes sense :)

This book will contain some triggers. To avoid spoiling it for those who don't wish to be spoiled (as it is pre-written, so I do actually know what features in here) please message me asking for the triggers as I will be more than happy to tell people. I just don't wish to upset people. This is your warning. Any complaints about "not giving a proper warning" will not be accepted from this point onwards as I think this is warning enough. Stay safe everyone, love you all.

Enjoy :)

Clicking on the notification, James didn't hesitate to type in his passcode. He was quickly directed to the post, a collection of photographs Alex had posted with a lovely caption fitting underneath it. It contained mostly pictures James had seen before; some of Will and Alex, some of George and Alex, some of him and Alex and even some of them all together. Hell, even Stephen was in one of them. However, the last one took James by surprise.

It wasn't a secret that Alex was a soft kind of guy, being as short and outspoken as he was, it was only expected of him to be so delicate and gentle. His outspokeness though led James to believe that Alex didn't really have friends outside their small friendship group, as harsh as it sounded, but the last photo clearly stated something different.

The photo didn't contain either of their faces, but James knew Alex personally, and gathered that he had to be the smaller of he two, seeing as no matter what Alex ate he never seemed to gain any weight, and he wasn't going to be growing any time soon. Both wore striped jumpers, Alex wearing a white one, whilst the other male wore a darker colour, close to black.

James quickly taped the image to see who was tagged, seeing an unfamiliar account under the name inabber. He decided to click on it, and after seeing similar photos to the one on Alex's post, he typed out a quick message to the male. It wouldn't hurt to be friends with some of Alex's friends, would it? He was only trying to look out for Alex after all. Plus, the guy seemed friendly enough, having a few people in his photos as well as singular ones of just himself.

well aren't you a soft boy

He returned to Alex's post, leaving a quick comment after liking it before turning his phone off. Within seconds, it vibrated again. James eagerly grabbed it, smiling at the new notification.

inabber:
excuse me?

James was certainly going to have a lot of fun with this one.
