[DISCONTINUED] Actions not Words (Mute!Alexander)(COVER NOT MINE)

Helpless from DAY ONE

John's POV

So yeah, life at Kings College. Strange, it really is. Don't have many friends, I'll admit to that. But the ones I do have are the best friends anybody could wish for. But Alexander, he's my best friend. Not only that. He has been my crush ever since the first day I met him. That says a lot, considering I've known his since I was 5. I'm 19 now. 

He's perfect in every way.

Intelligent brown eyes.

Long hair, black as coal.

Oh and, the best thing? He's mute!

Unusual to like that about him, you may be thinking. Well, you'd be wrong. He may not speak, but to me, actions count more than words any day. 

I'm sharing a dorm with him. Well, not only him. I'm also sharing with Herc, Laf, Jefferson and Madison. All of those guys are my friends, other than Jeffershit and his little follower, Madison. They can be so annoying. I know that Jefferson is mean to Alex, so that started my mega hatred for him. Madison himself isn't that bad, it's just because he hangs out with Jefferson that makes me dislike him. That may sound cruel of me, but if you knew them, you'd probably understand.

There was a knock at the door. John dashed over and opened the door to reveal Peggy Schuyler and Miss Maria Reynolds. Peggy threw herself onto John, hugging him so tightly you could class her as a suffocation hazard, while Maria shyly stood behind them, rubbing her arm. 

"Peggyyyyyy, can we go inside now? I think you may be suffocating John.." Maria pouted.

"Sorry ba- uhh Ria!" Peggy let go of John and turned around, receiving a glare from Maria, but why?

"Come in, girls! Everyone has left except for Alex, he's writing an essay in his room," John rolled his eyes. "Sit on the couch, I'll go and see if Alex wants to join us playing video games." The girls did as John said, as he went into Alexander's bedroom.

"Hey, Lex, Peggs and Maria are here. We are gonna play some video games, wanna join?" Alex stopped writing on his laptop and turned around.

'I'm busy, John. Sorry.' he signed and turned back around to write. John grabbed his shoulder and turned him round to face him. It was easy for John to move Alex because of how small he was.

"Look, Alex, you need to stop writing once in a while and actually have fun with your friends." John said, shutting Alex's laptop. Alex looked up at John and pouted, giving him puppy eyes. 

"Yo, puppy eyes don't work on me!" John scooped Alex up and carried him bridal style to the living room, dropping him onto the couch. He crossed his arms and huffed, John and the girls chuckled. Peggy got up and went into the kitchen, grabbing herself a glass of water. What can I say, she's an independent woman!
"So..are you guys a thing?????" Maria's eyes sparkled eagerly.
Peggy choked on her water then spat it out all over the floor.
Alex blushed, kicking Maria on the leg.
"N-No! H-He's not..gay. At least I think? B-But no, we're just best friends!" John rushed his words, causing him to stutter.
"Okay no need to get so defensive haha!" Maria and Peggy both laughed, giving eachother the look to say 'I ship them'.
John looked over at Alex, he had his head in his hands to hide his blushing. John had an idea to embarrass him even more.
He put an arm around him, pulling him to his chest. Alex panicked, causing him to fall into his lap.
'JOHN!!' He signed. You could tell by his expression that he was angry, but in a playful way.
John merely smirked in response.
"AH! I ship it!!" Peggy squeled. Alex rolled his eyes.

'Well maybe you two should date!' Alex signed and John laughed.
Maria and Peggy shared an awkward glance. 

"Well...uhh ya see.." Peggy started.

"We..already are." Maria continued nervously.

John's mouth gaped open while Alex merely smiled. 

'That's not that shocking, I saw it coming. I'm so happy for you!' He signed. John was just lost for words. He received an elbow to the stomach, causing him to snap out of it. 

'Say something!!' Alex glared.

"Sorry! I did NOT expect that! I'm so happy for you!" John smiled sweetly. He had only known Maria for a year, yet he knew Peggy for years. He supported her all the way.

"Soooooooo...what video game are we gonna play?????" Peggy asked eagerly.

"Overwatch?" 

"Yeah!!!!" Both of the girls said in sync. John looked at Alex and he gave a thumbs up, obviously showing that he was fine with it. They loaded up the game and started to choose characters. 

"y'know.. maybe I'll be tracer!" John said. Peggy smirked.

"I'm already tracer!" She laughed.

"PEGGY. NO." John hissed and Alex and Maria both chuckled and facepalmed. 

A few hours after playing some overwatch, Maria and Peggy had to leave to go and meet up with the other Schuylers at the coffee shop. John wanted to go with them, but Alex didn't want to go because of how antisocial he was. Plus, John wasn't going to just leave Alex by himself.
He and Alex were really close. They would do everything together. But even so, Alex still was nervous around John. John didn't understand this, I mean, they had known eachother for 14 years, so why was he still nervous? He let it slide, though.

Alex's POV

"Hey, Alex?" I heard John call.

John is my everything. He has been here for me no matter what. But why is it that I still get butterflies whenever I'm around him? I haven't felt this feeling before... Is it..love? No..

"Lex? You okay?" I turned around.
"Lex, do you have a fever?!?!? Your face is all red!" Crap. Obviously I'm blushing. He rushed over and sat next to me, placing his hand on my cheek. This resulted in my face turning even more red.
'Well I feel alright..' I signed.

Being mute is hard. Especially when you want your best friend to know how much you love them. Wait, what?
He removed his hand from my cheek and grabbed my hand.
"If you say so. Tell me if you start feeling sick please." He let go of my hand.
"As I was saying, it's your birthday next week, have any idea what you want?" I thought about this for a moment. What do I want?
'John, you don't have to get me anything. But I know you are going to make me have something. So.. surprise me!' I shrugged. He frowned.
"Alex.."
'I insist!' I interrupted.
"Alright then.."
Just then, the door swung open and there was a loud thud.
John gasped.
"Jefferson?! Madison?!"
