Alex had just finished strapping the last of his and Jacks' bags in the back of their vehicle. Jack was already sitting in the passenger seat, the warm air blowing against him as he waited for Alex to get into the drivers seat. Just a short minute later, Alex opened the door and sat down, blowing in his hands to warm them up.
It was the beginning of winter, the second week in December. They all had just finished a tour, and Jack and Alex had been dying to get away to someplace where they could just sit back, relax, and be together. They hadn't had time to themselves in what seemed like forever. The band was constantly writing new songs, working on new music, or on their tour, but with all of that at a standstill or finished, Jack and Alex took this opportunity.
Jack gave Alex a chuckle, which made Alex laugh, then he put the vehicle in drive and drove off down the street. As he got onto the highway just a few short minutes later, Jack reached over and took Alex's hand in his. The least he could do was warm up one of his hands, he thought. Alex gave it a little squeeze, flashing Jack a small smile.
------------------
Hours seemed to pass before Jack saw any sign of a city anywhere, causing him to fall asleep, but shortly after he woke up, Alex said they were where they wanted to be. Jack yawned, rubbing his eyes as he looked out the window. There was snow falling from the sky, covering the already-fresh blanket of snow with yet another sheet.
Jack smiled, knowing that Alex and himself were finally alone together, free to do whatever they chose to, whenever they wanted to. It's not that they didn't have the freedom back home, but there wasn't a Zack or Rian to randomly walk in on them, no managers to bother them, and no busses to break down on the side of the highway; just Jack and Alex.
Alex turned on a side road, soon pulling into the parking lot of a large ski resort/hotel. They two of them hopped out, then made their way inside to the front desk. The man behind the desk smiled at the two of them, asking if he could help them. Jack took care of everything, saying they had reservations for Barakat. The man found it on his laptop, then gave them their room key - room 613 on the third floor.
The two of them made their way back outside to their vehicle, opening the back and grabbing their bags. Jack carried his bag, along with his skis, and Alex did the same with his things. The made their way back inside yet again, then to the elevator. They walked inside, hitting the third floor button at the same time, which made them laugh at one another.
Soon, they arrived on the third floor, following the signs leading them down the hall to their right, towards their room. Alex had the key, so he set his things down and put the card in the door. When he heard a little beep, he opened the door. The intoxicating smell of the hotel room hit them as they walked inside. It was a smell they smelled all too much, but needless to say, they loved it.
"Glad we're finally here," Jack yawned again, falling back onto the bed after he put his things in the corner of the room.
"Tell me about it," Alex said, doing the same, only falling on top of Jack, which made his laugh. "So, what should we do?" Alex chuckled. "We could get a bite to eat, go snowboarding, skiing, go watch the skiers and snowboarders, scope the place out, things like that."
"Should we give this whole 'skiing' thing a try?"
Alex smiled, obviously agreeing to what Jack had chosen. They got off the bed, then got their skis, snow pants, jackets, masks/goggles, etc. from their bags. They walked out of the room after they put their snow pants on, slipped their boots back on, then put their jackets on, with their skis in hand.
They made their way back to the elevator, reaching the first floor shortly after. They walked out the side doors where everyone's skis, snow boards, and even sleds, were. There were people skiing about out there, so the two of them slipped their skis on, then their goggles on. Alex had to help Jack up, but once he got up, he refused to move.
