"That's great, John. I'm...I'm so happy for you." Alexander lied.
John could hear and see the sadness in his best friend. He couldn't bear to see his friend in a state like this. He wanted to embrace Alexander in a comforting hug. He wanted to confess everything to him. But he couldn't. It would ruin everything and everyone he loved.
"Yeah." John responded.
The two got up from the bench, and catch up to everyone else. Alexander showed everyone around the small island. It was wonderful and beautiful. The tour lasted hours, but no one was complaining. At night, Nevis was magical. There were lights hanging everywhere. The lights twinkled against the ocean and moonlight, making the island seem like something out of a dream. The tour was so wonderful, John almost forgot about his 'friend.' Key word: Almost.
"Hey, Babe? Don't we have something to share?" The 'friend' whispered as they sat down in a diner booth.
John quickly nodded, not wanting to disappoint. "Um, I have something to tell everyone." His eyes darted around the booth. From the corner of his eye, he saw Alexander turning his attention to some other thing. The sight almost brought him to tears. "Guys, this is Francis Kinloch. He's my...boyfriend."
That word made John's mouth feel disgusting. Francis was definitely not someone who could be boyfriend material. He was only filled with lust, not love. The only thing John wanted was to move on from Francis and completely forget about his existence and everything else that happened. But of course, just as he was about to, life decided to bring him back and ruin everything.
"This isn't a prank or anything, right?" Peggy asked, earning a blow to the stomach.
"Nope!" Francis answers, popping the 'p.' He leaned in, and pecked John's check.
Peggy put on a smile before running to the door. "GODDAMN IT, LAURENS! YOU RUINED MY OTP!" Her sisters ran outside to calm the wild Peggy.
Alexander crawled under the table, and walked to the bathroom with his head down. It was surprisingly a good ten minutes before anyone noticed he was gone. Laf was the first one to notice. He alerted his parents of the news before running around, looking for his brother.
Francis only smirked at the chaos. His plan was working.
