A/N - ASK QUESTIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

John's POV

   I sighed and put my head down. I hate math. There is some good news though. It is Friday and my dad got that restraining order so Francis should stay the hell away. Alex is out today getting his new prosthetic but he said he should be back by lunch so I'm just waiting for the clock to tick down. I miss my baby. He fell asleep on FaceTime last night and (I know it's creepy) I watched him sleep for a bit. I couldn't help it. He just looks so damn peaceful. I love him. He's cute no matter what. The bell rang and I rushed to gym glass. Gym class means Alex walks me to lunch. I rushed into the locker room and changed out as fast as possible. I headed out to the gym and started stretching like everyone else. "John could you come up here please?" I frowned and jogged up to the coaches table. 
   "Coach?" 
   "I heard you have quite the arm." He smiled, I frowned and he chuckled. "Baseball tryouts are this Sunday. I want you to try out."
   "O-oh. I-I don't know, coach." I sighed. 
   "Think about it?" I nodded and jogged back to the floor. Instead of doing bullshit we played dodge ball and I pelted the shit out of Andre.
   "That's for breaking my baby's heart, bitch." I grumbled, Herc snorted next to me and started laughing. He got hit in the stomach and soon it was just me and Andre on the court. I was not going to loose to this short British ass hat. I threw the balls as hard as I fucking could, dodging the ones he threw. Finally I pelted that dick weed in the stomach and pumped my fist in triumph. Herc patted me on the back and I sighed. "That makes me feel so much fucking better." I chuckled, Herc laughed and we made our way into the locker room to change. I turned the corner and noticed bright red curls leaning against my locker. I rushed forward and hugged him, lifting him off the ground. Alex squealed and I buried my face in his neck. 
   "Jacky, put me down!" He giggled, I set him down and he held on to my arms. 
   "You ok?"
   "Yeah. Just need a minute to get used to the new prosthetic." He smiled, I looked down and grinned.
   "Hey! Look at you!" I grinned, Alex giggled a bit and I pressed a kiss on his forehead. "I've gotta change. Can you wait outside?" Alex nodded and hobbled out of the locker room. I changed as fast as possible and found Alex on the floor, his books scattered around him. "What happened? Are you ok?" He rubbed his butt and I offered my hand, hauling him up.
   "I fell."
   "How'd you fall, baby? Did someone push you?"
   "No, I fell. I've been off my prosthetic for awhile now." He sighed, I smiled and kissed him gently. 
   "C'mon. Let's go." We headed to lunch and sat down. Alex showed off his new prosthetic and everyone cheered. I kissed Alex's temple and smiled. As we ate Alex laid his head on my shoulder and fed him pretzels because he didn't have lunch. 
   "You seemed stressed, Jack. What's wrong?" Alex asked, munching on pretzels. 
   "Coach wants me to tryout for baseball."
   "Hey! That's great." I sighed and Alex frowned. 
   "What? What's wrong? I thought you liked baseball." 
   "I do but-..."
   "But what?" 
   "I have you and four siblings and-"
   "I love you and so do your four siblings and your father. I'm sure your dad will make room for it and I'll babysit and come to as many games as I can." I grinned and kissed Alex deeply. 
   "I love you so god damn much!" Alex giggled and I squeezed him tightly. 
   "You're such a dork!" Alex laughed. "Oh! Don't bother picking my up for the dance. I'm going to Laf's place and he's gonna take me there." 
   "Are you sure?" 
   "Yeah."
   "Ok then."
   "Sorry. I-"
   "I don't own you, baby. You don't have to explain yourself to me." Alex smiled and leaned against me. I kissed his head and rocked him side to side. 
   "You're gonna put me to sleep." He mumbled, I chuckled and rubbed his arm. 
   "What if I'm trying too?" I teased. 
   "Meany." I snorted and kissed him gently. 
   "I'm just so so mean."
