The two queers walked to the store, the morning sun shined brightly on this pleasant evening. Alexander kept sneaking glances at John every so often, only slightly blushing. He was so beautiful.

Too beautiful, so fucking perfect, oh my god Alex I want that boy for Christmas! He's gay so we can have a chance with him! Just; AHHHHH

"Please calm the fuck down." Alex told the voice inside while shaking his head. The voice kept yelling and yelling and it made Alex irritated. John looked over, "The umm... Voice again?"
Alex nodded, "Yup'." He tryed smiling innocently, but only accomplished the "odd" smile. John didn't question this, he only continued to make small talk with the Carribean boy.

"So where are you from?" John asked as they almost approached the Walmart, just besides a coffe/book shop and a restaurant looking place.
"Unimportant, plus I don't remember much." Alex mumbled. He remember the hurricane perfectly, he remembered the deaths, he remembered the pain. A week ago he had been wishing to have died with the storm, but now that Laurens was in the picture... He felt greatful to have lived this long. If only, for a moment, to see John's eyes.

"This way." John guided them both to the dairy Isle where they picked out a dozen brown eggs. "We need to get Herc a present too." John reminded himself. Alex didn't question why a teenaged male would want a long cyan colored cloth and a pair of expensive scissors for his birthday.

"So..." Alex tried to make a conversation as he followed John. He looked up at the freackled adonis and found the courage to say, "Ever had a boyfriend?"

Please let it be no, please let it be no, please let it be no dammit.

John smiled faintly, "Yeah, Lafayette was my first boyfriend, but he left for France, remember the Jefferson guy that we ran into at school? That's his cousin."

Alex only nodded, very glad to know he was single.

"I have a new boyfriend-"

Fuck you spoke to soon Alex, you Lil Shit. You had to go ruin it you worthless-

"His names Francis, oh hey there he is." John's smile was full of love towards another male looking at computers, a smile that Alex whishes was towards him.

The man looked a bit older, black hair that was as dark as the night sky, and brown eyes like Alex's, only full of life.   The man smiled and waved at them.

"Jack!" Francis called out. The couple hugged and shared a small kiss. As their lips connected something in Alexander snapped.

Everything we love in our life has been taken away, don't let this one slip Alex, don't let it. Get. Rid. Of. Francis.

"And who are you?" Francis glared at Alexander who looked awkward and uncomfortable.

Your boyfriend stealer, that's who.

"This is Alex, my roommate!" John introduced, smiling. Francis faked a smile, holding John closer, "Nice to meet you." Alex nodded. It was always nice to meet himself.

"Well we'd better be going." John kissed Francis cheek.

Ouch.

"It's Herc's birthday today, I'll see you tomorrow babe." John stared walking away, Alex behind him.
Francis called out, "See yah to tomorrow babe."

Kill.

"He seemed nice." Alex's voice seemed distant. John's smile was full of love as he nodded, "He's the best." Alex felt his heart crumble.

After they played for their food, they walked back to Schuyler's dorm. As they chatted, Alexander saw a blush of pink on John's cheek.

And with that hope is restored.

But he isn't satisfied, he wants John for himself. He'll just have to get rid of any distractions. Starting with Francis.
