A Ship Crashed but Managed to Set Sail Again

The Unexpected Relationship

Thomas' POV:
I was in my dorm with James and I received a text from John saying Alexander was back. I couldn't believe it. I told him to stay away and he didn't listen. Maybe I need to tell everyone what I know.
"I told you to stay away, Alex!"

James' POV:
While sitting in my dorm, I see Thomas get a text and I can see the anger in his face. As I was going back to reading, I heard Thomas say " I told you to stay away, Alex!" I glared at him. "Why can you just leave him alone? I asked Thomas. "Didn't you already mess with him enough?" Thomas glared at me. "No because obviously he hasn't learned his lesson yet! I told him what would happen!" I haven't seen him this angry in a while and this was over John, a boy who wanted nothing to do with him! I began to pack up my things. "Maybe you should stop messing with Alexander and try and see the good things in your life!" I said as I left and slammed the door.

Thomas' POV:
What does he know! I want to be with John and that's why I did what I did. Okay. Maybe I did want to mess with Alexander but that was only part of it! John will be mine and I want him now. I'll ask him tomorrow.

John's POV:
Yesterday was really successful and the gang welcomed Alex with open arms. I still don't know how I feel about him but I'm glad we can go back to being friends. I really missed him. I got a message from Thomas saying he wanted to meet up at the Coffee Shoppe at 12 and it is 11:30. As I was getting ready, Alex came in.
"Hey Alex!" I said smiling. "Hey... John. Where are you going?" He asked. "Well, Thomas wants to meet at the coffee shop. Said he had an important question." Alex looked at me and then lauded on his bed. "Ok. Enjoy your date." I blushed. "It's not a date he jus wants to ask a question." Alex scoffed. "If he had a question about something simple, he would message you. Not meet you at the coffee shop." I looked at him. "Why did you say it like that? Do you not like Thomas?"

Alex's POV:
"Do I know like Thomas??!" Of course I don't like Thomas! He's the reason this is happening. He is the root of all this! He's the reason I lost John. No. Scratch that. I'M the reason! Thomas is just a factor. I sighed. "It's whatever, John. Go... do what you... want."

John's POV:
I don't like how he's acting. He's acting as if Thomas is some bad guy but from what I've seen... he's really sweet and I like that about him. "Well... I'm gonna go. Bye Alex." I said as I walked out. "Bye... John." I got in my car and drove to the shop and went inside. As I looked around I heard a "John!" Turning, I saw Thomas raise his hand. I walked over and sat down. "Hey, Thomas! How you been doing?" I asked. "It's been a while, John. How are you? I heard Alexander was back." Wow. He came up fast. "Yeah. Turns out he did come to Kings after all. Cool, huh?" I said. Thomas looked down. "Yeah.... cool." I looked at him with a quirked eyebrow. "So... what did you want to ask me?" "Well... I wants to ask if you would be my boyfriend."

Thomas' POV:
I wait as John ponders what I asked. I was wondering if I did it too soon but then I heard "Yeah... sure. It's not like I'm dating anyone." I looked up and smiled. "Great!" We kept talking until John had to leave because Lafayette was calling him. I finally got what I wanted.

John's POV:
Thomas asked if I could be his boyfriend I said yeah. What was I suppose to do? Reject him? After talking for what seemed like hours, I left because Lafayette kept trying to call me. As I parked and got out, I saw that Laf was asking if he could borrow some money for his date with Herc tomorrow and I said sure. As I walked into my dorm, I saw Alex on the computer. "How was the date?" I rolled my eyes. "I told you. It was not a date!" Alex scoffed. "Either way, how did it go?" I went to change. "Actually, Thomas asked if I could be his boyfriend." I saw Alex go still. "What did... you say?" He asked. "I said yes." I got ready for bed and saw Alex still on the computer. "You gonna take a break?" "No." Was all I heard. "Well... good night." I heard him say "Night."

Alex's POV:
Of course he said yes. What did I expect him to do. Looks like Thomas finally got what he wanted. Me being miserable. I looked at John and sighed. At least he'll be happy again. That's all I want.
