A rose scent awoke Alex, his eyes squinting at the harsh sunlight beating down on him. He shifted, sitting up from his grassy bed, endless fields of swaying weeds filling his vision. The scent grew stronger, calming his mind and relaxing his body. Alex stood, looking around soon identifying a woman not too far from him. Her midnight black hair danced in the sun, her back turned to him. He walked towards her, his bare feet carrying him forward but he made no progress in his journey. The longer he walked, the faster he came to the realization that he wasn’t going to get any closer so he stopped, watching the mysterious figure. As if only sensing him now, she turned, her piercing amber eyes stabbing into the depths of his soul. She watched him just as he watched her. A light smile graced her features, one that blossomed her beauty to an immeasurable level. She mouthed something but no words left her rosy lips. Before anything else could happen, she vanished with the breeze, Alex gaspin
Alex watched as Xavier struggled to speak, ultimately saying nothing. Alex finally calmed himself, sitting up, Xavier giving him the space too. Alex kept his hand over Xavier’s, afraid that if he let go he wouldn’t get another chance to.Alex watched, Xavier now avoiding his gaze, almost as if he were ashamed. He hated seeing even a slither of such emotion being present with Xavier. He wanted to wipe the feeling away, make sure the other was never plagued by any of the negative feelings present.Alex was reminded of the day Xander had first appeared and how Xavier, for the first time he had ever seen, was expressive and now was the same. Just a different emotion.Mimicking the actions of earlier, Alex brought his forehead against Xavier’s forehead and this seemed to surprise him.“Alex,” Xavier finally spoke, shivers shaking Alex’s entirety.“I’m here,” Alex answered, his thumb caressing Xavier’s hand, comforting him in his own way.A particularly strong gust blew into the room tousli
Alex’s drawn brows shot up in surprise, noticing the leaves now stuck in his friend’s hair and the dirt staining the not so obvious places on him. His freckled skin had patches of mud and his hair even seemed a little damp.“What, what happened?” Alex stuttered, trying his very hardest, to feel bad but finding it a tiny bit funny.“Xander that mother fucker. I just know it was him, he was the one to coincidentally find me, with some shit eating grin. And I had no fucking idea where we were so I had to accept his help!” Josh was basically screeching, Alex having to put his hand over his mouth to hide the wobbly smile fighting its way onto his face.“And then?”“THEN! He wanted compensation and said I should let him have a taste. What else could he taste!”Alex had to shake his head a bit when his ears rung. He took a deep breath, both trying to calm his amusement and also little worried at the almost crazed look on Josh’s face.“So uh, how does that lead to you screaming my name first
I could definitely get used to waking up like this. Alex was staring at Xavier’s sleeping form, watching the pale eyelashes tremble with each controlled breath. He looked so calm, so ethereal, the blearily light from outside making the vampire glow. He was tempted to caress the pale face but feared disturbing his sleep. He had awoken much earlier at the excitement of seeing Jamie after what felt like years, the thought jabbing at him to spring out of bed to start getting ready even if dawn had just broke. Instead, he burrowed into the arms already holding him, breathing in the heavenly scent and trying to convince himself that it wasn’t weird. They hadn’t labelled anything but surely whatever they had done allowed for his current actions now. If not, oh well. Alex eventually found sleep, awaking again at Xavier’s insistence. The sun seemed fully awake now though it was hard to tell with the heavy clouds plaguing the sky. They spent no time getting ready, walking downstairs to find

In her grasp two crying babies that refused to cease their outburst. There wasn't much she could do as she sprinted through the open lands, nothing but the moon guiding her steps. Tightly clenched in her fist a piece of paper.“My babies, don’t worry. Mummy is going to get us out of here,” she said.Before she could utter any more wo
The next day, Alex was walking down the school hallway when he noticed the new guys, not that he would miss them. All seven of them were standing together looking like something that belonged in some magazine that would have an article titled ‘how to get the perfect skin routine with just 7 easy steps.’At that moment he wished his locker wasn’t right next to them, he really wanted to avoid the sore thumb that stuck out so prominently. No Alex, you can do this. It's not like they’ll notice you. Sucking in a breath, Alex made his way to his locker trying his best to conceal his presence. Math book, that’s all he needed yet for some reason, as soon as he got remotely close to them, they ended whatever their discussion was and directed their gazes to him.Now he was under the spotlight. If it was just the three then maybe he’d have the ability to ignore them but there were seven of them. Seven! Not to mention they all s
“Bunny!” Jamie beamed, running out the school building and into Alex’s arms.“How was my little chipmunks first day at school?” Alex asked, seating her at the back of his car."It was amazing, I drew a picture, look it's me, you, and our two mummies."Alex had already taken his seat when his smile slightly faltered. He turned to look a Jamie, reestablishing his smile. “No way, can I see?”Excitedly digging through her bag, Jamie fished out her self-drawn artwork and passed it to Alex. On it were two stick figures that had yellow hair that Jamie pointed out to be them.“They didn’t have any brown crayons so I couldn’t draw mama,” Jamie said, slightly pouting. She then pointed to the tallest person in the picture.“That’s mummy Cindy.” Jamie’s voice faltered a bit, her bright blue eyes looking up at Alex. “When is she gonna come back, I miss her.&rd
"Hey what's wrong with you, your face is enough to give a child nightmares, Josh said as they were walked down the hallway. "Gym," Alex answered. "I don't see why you're complaining, you're so good at sports but never participate in them, plus who wouldn't want to see hot girls all sweaty." Alex didn’t hesitate to smack Josh. It was times like those he wished the other was all talk no show but it was all talk and proof to show. As unbelievable as it was, Josh was quite the lady’s man. Unbelievable really. What did they see in such a pervert? Sure, the cooking was good but was that enough to attract girls the way he did? "Well, there's nothing I can do for ya, you'll just have to grow balls, "Josh said right before he entered his classroom, escaping another smack directed his way. Just a bit and he could’ve got him. He really was one lucky bastard. The bringer of hell and worse, rang, piercing Alex’s ear drums. He just had to be right under the
