He was a little far from Alex but close enough for him to see him clearly. He could only see his upper body and he could see he was putting on a leather jacket with a plain white t-shirt underneath. Thanks to the lightening of the house, his hair was glistening and his blue eyes just seemed to light up as he spoke. He was surrounded by a bunch of guys Alex concluded to be his friend. By his side, was his girlfriend and she had her whole body pressed against him as she talked and giggled at intervals. He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed at the sight. He couldn't bring himself to look away though as he kept on staring at him from his distance. He was talking and laughing at his friends over and over, making Alex wonder what was so funny. Alex felt his stomach turn as he watched Seb finally take a break from talking and laughing with his friends. He turned his head and looked around the party like he was searching for someone. Alex suddenly felt self conscious. He pressed h
âCan I kiss you?â Alex swallowed, feeling Sebâs intent gaze on him. His breathing was slow, his lips slightly parted as he stared at him, anticipating a response. Fear gripped Alex as he watched every single wall he had built up between him and his feelings come crashing down. There was only so much he could take and he knew he had finally reached his limit. Sebâs grip on his hand pinned against the wall, loosened, Alex finally gaining control of his hands. âSeb.â He simply nodded and without hesitation, Seb got rid of every distance between their faces, crashing his lips on Alexâs. Alex felt his body melt, his hormones shooting up as he returned the kiss. Slowly, he raised his hand to place his on Sebâs shoulder and like he gave him permission, Seb took it as a cue to slowly deepen the kiss. The kiss was soft and slow as they both responded with burning need and passion. Sebâs arms were wrapped around Alexâs waist, pulling him closer to him as his other hand was wrapped behind
âFor the millionth time Sebastian Keates, what is wrong with you?!â âSophia-â âDo not even try to tell me itâs nothing again,â Sophia almost yelled at Seb. âYouâve been oddly glum the whole day. You were barely yourself, you seemed lost in thoughts more than half the day and now youâre lyng.â âActually-â âDid you have a fight with your freshman boy? Alex?â Sophia asked, Seb immediately turning to face her. âAh, Iâm guessing thatâs it.â âWhat? No! We didnât fight, I promise,â he quickly said. âWhat made you even guess this is about him?â âCause Iâm suddenly remembering how you were staring at him pretty much throughout lunch,â she replied. âIs there something you want to tell me, Sebastian? Iâm your best friend, remember.â He was silent for a while then let out a deep exhale. âYeah, youâre my best friend.â âAre you confirming that right now?â âNo, Iâm reminding you,â he said, Sophia rolling her eyes. âWhich means you have to be on my side no matter what, right?â âIsnât tha
âMum said I should come check up on you. Donât you have classes today?â Alex pulled his sheets off his head to look up to his cousin standing by his door, arms folded. âI do,â he replied, getting up. âIâll be downstairs in a bit. Oh and tell her I wonât be having breakfast. You can all go ahead without me.â âOkay.âWatching his cousin leave his room, Alex let out a sigh. He had woken up tired hours ago and had gotten ready for school only to plop into his bed and bury himself under his sheets again as the thought of facing Seb came. He spent the rest of the previous day in his room, not stepping out for even a second. He skipped dinner and had intended on skipping breakfast alongside school for the whole day until his aunt just had to send his cousin to check up on him. She noticed his foul mood from the previous day and no matter how many times she asked, his answer was still the same- he was fine and just not hungry. That was only partly true though as though he wasnât hungr
âAlex?â Sophia failed to hide her surprise as Alex shut the door behind him and walked towards her. Her eyebrows were knitted as immediately Alex stood in front of her, she quickly broke into a smile. âYouâre here? Itâs late. Youâre here to see Seb, right?â âYeah, I am,â he replied her nodding and taking deep exhales. âIs he in?â âMhm mhm,â she resumed walking. âLocked up in his room but yeah, heâs in.â âAlright then,â he paused to turn in the direction of the stairs. âIâll be going now.â âYou should,â Sophia smiled at him. âHe definitely wasnât expecting you but I bet heâll be really glad to see you.â Her words giving him a bit of confidence, he turned and climbed the stairs leading to his room. As he got closer to his room, he felt his heartbeat quicken, Alex taking deep breaths over and over again to calm himself down. He finally got to Sebâs room and true to Sophiaâs words, it was locked. Feeling his palms dampen, he rubbed them together, pressed his lips together and pla
"Do you really have to go back home tonight?" "Yes, Sebastian," Alex replied for the hundredth time since he and Seb officially became a couple. As he had been doing everytime Alex told him he had to go, he groaned and pulled him even closer to him to hug him tighter. "I didn't tell my aunt I'll be spending the night out." "Call her and tell her now then." "No," Alex said then laughed as he broke free from Seb's grip and got off the bed. "I really should go back before it gets any later." "Alright," Seb got up and joined him on his feet. "I'll drive you home then." "You don't have to-" "Don't even try to convince me otherwise," Seb cut him off, grabbing his car keys. "I'm dropping my boyfriend off." Feeling a light blush creep towards his cheeks, Alex looked away and began walking towards the door. It had been barely an hour since they officially began dating and Seb was being the sweetest. It was like he suddenly became bolder as he didn't even think twice before allowing a
"I'm so glad this week is finally over," Tasha said with a groan, shutting her books to rest her head against the table. "God, it has to be my most exhausting week since the beginning of this semester." "Right?" Alex said with a chuckle. Truly, the classes were tiring but they were nothing compared to hoe exciting his week had been. Seb had taken it upon himself to text him in every class, having him smile during even the most boring classes. When he wasn't texting him, he was standing by a corner, sending him flirtatious glances and winks, having him smile like an idiot. "Let's go to the cafeteria," Tasha shot her head up like a zombie. "I'm starving." "Alright," he began to pack his bag, watching her do the same. The moment he was done, he rose to his feet and watched her quicken her actions then join him on his feet. "We should ask Victoria to join us," Tasha suggested, Alex nodding and looking around for her. "Oh, there she is. Vic!" She immediately paused on hearing her
Luck was truly not on Sebâs side as after they spent the whole day working and were ready to head to their hotel rooms for the night, two announcements were made. One, they were going to be sleeping in tents and not in hotel rooms. And two, their tent mates were already chosen randomly. âSebastian?â Seb shifted his gaze from his phone to meet the dude from their last time at the volunteering walking up to him. âGeorge?â âYeah, itâs you,â George laughed lightly as he approached Seb. âLook at that. Weâre roommates.â Seb couldnât even bring himself to fake being enthusiastic. âYou mean, tent mates.â âYeah, itâs all the same,â George replied. âI wasnât expecting to see you here again. How about Alex? Is he here too?â âYeah, he is,â Seb drawled as they began walking. âI wanted us to be roommates but oh well.â âAw, man look at this from the brighter side,â George pat him lightly. âDistance makes the heart fonder, they say. The both of you being apart this time could be for the best
