Savior (Jamilton)

8. Fluff 🥺

(Still part of the story)

"Tommy," Alex whined in his sleep. We, well, I'm watching the fifth movie of the night and Alex is asleep on my shoulder. I looked at how much time was left of the movie and decided it was better to head to bed now.

I stood up and gently laid Alex down on the couch while I picked up all the trash. I started to hum a song, I don't know the name of it but it gets stuck in my head sometimes.

I walked back out into the living room and saw Alex holding a pillow while he slept. I smiled gently, and removed the pillow from his grasp then picked him up. He squirmed slightly but then relaxed into my arms.

I laid him down under the covers and went to change into some sweatpants and a white tank top. I changed in the bathroom as to not make to much noise to wake up Alexander.

I walked back into my room and over to my bed. I laid down gently next to Alex on my side, he immediately cuddled up into me. I smiled and held him by his waist as he dug his nose into the crook of my neck.

"Heyyyy, boyyyyyyysssss, it's time to wake uuuuupppp." I heard my mom whisper. I nodded and shooed her away, getting a tighter hold on Alex afterwards. I heard my mom chuckle then walk out of my room. I opened my eyes and looked down at Alex. I kissed him gingerly to wake him up. It worked. He kissed back and rolled me into my back. I chuckled into the kiss and pulled away. Alex was looking down at me smiling. I returned the smile and gently pushed him off me so he landed next to me on the bed, laughing.

I stood up out of bed and walked to my dresser to get a change of clothes. When I turned around Alex was blushing looking at me. "What?" I asked looking down at my shirt, wiping it off. "You have really big muscles." He giggled but it was mixed with a sigh. "Yeah?" I asked completely oblivious. "It's nothing, you just look really good." He smiled looking down sheepishly. I smirked and walked over to him. I placed a finger under his chin and tilted his head up to look at me.

"Is that so?" I asked just below a whisper. He nodded. I smirked again and pecked his lips. "I'm gonna change, you do so as well." I said standing up straight and walking out. I changed into some black ripped skinny jeans, a lighter shade of magenta sweater, and a black combat boot seeing as my leg is still broken. I messed with my hair for a few minutes before going back to me room, positive he has changed.

"Ugh!" I heard him groan. "What's wrong Lex?" I asked walking inside. I saw him at my dresser looking into the mirror that's connected to it with the eyeliner pen in his hand. He's wearing practically the same thing as me just with a washed out light green sweater, with his hair in his signature ponytail. "How did you get yours so perfect." He frowned turning around to face me. I chuckled and walked up to him. I took the pen from his hand and gently held his face. He closed his eyes while I did my magic. "Wing?" I asked. "No thank you." He smiled opening his eye. I smiled down at him and pecked his lips.

"Ok. So Lee beat you up yesterday?" Herc asked Alex. He nodded. We're outside in a circle on the grass. Alex insisted on sitting in my lap so I have my broken leg extended so it doesn't get hurt. I'm leaned up against the tree with everyone else in a circle. Alex and I got here first and his friends found us. "I'm sorry zat 'appended mon petit lion. Thomas, 'ow is your leg?" Laf asked me. "Eh, it's getting better. I think about a month more until my physical therapy starts." I shrugged. "Physical therapy?" Angelica asked. "Not being able to move my ankle." I explained briefly. "I see." She nodded.

"All seniors please report to the auditorium immediately." A voice rang through the speakers. I looked around at Alex's friends. They all shrugged and we stood up. Of course me needing help from Alex and Herc but I still stood. "We'll see you later Peggy." I smiled giving her a high five as I passed.

As we walked I was a little slower so Alex and I were a bit behind the group. "They are starting to have a liking towards you." Alex told me. I looked over at him with a smile. "I'm glad." I sighed.

Turns out that whole thing in the auditorium just our counselors telling us what to do with our lives. Which as you can probably guess, Alex and I hated. Everyone was now at the park and we're all just hanging out under a tree. Apparently Alex and I have the same position we go into when we're upset.

"Do you think they cheer up the same way?" Peggy whispered to nobody in particular. "Alex, if you cheer up we can go to the mall and get you some more paper and pens." John offered. That caught my interest. "No!" I yelped. "What?" John asked. "He stays up most nights writing, I try to stop him but he never listens." I explained. "Alex!" Laf scolded. "Sorry..." he mumbled.

After a few minutes of talking the raven I see every morning flew onto Alex's shoulder. "Hello there friend." He smiled. "Who's this?" Eliza asked. "The raven that follows Alex around. He doesn't have a name." I smiled petting it's head with my finger. "Can we pet it?" Herc asked, obviously excited. "You can try." Alex shrugged getting it on his finger and extending it out to everyone. The raven only let Herc pet it. Herc asked if he could hold him but the raven snapped at his hands when he tried.

"Whoa, back off there bud." Herc chuckled, petting his head.
