Sweet or salty?

“I mean...I do love me some salty stuff. But sweets are so good.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

do you have a favorite V-Day tradition?

“I like curling up with cookies and nice drinks like hot chocolate or some wine.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

If you could take four people out to wherever, who would you take and where would you go?

“I’d take Riley somewhere nice to eat and on a walk through a garden, maybe. But I don’t think he’d like that, so maybe not...

I’d take Cory to an amusement park and play games with him.

I’d take Heather to Texas with me, to a big ranch, and we could ride horses and be cowboys again.

And I’d take Justin to some kind of concert maybe. Though he’s a musician, so maybe I’d find something else.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

Do you still have feelings for Cory?

“I’m always going to love Cory. But I think things are perfect the way they are.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

Are you excited for the ball?

“No. I’m not good at dancing, or, at least night the kind you’d do at balls.”

Riley pulled his keys from his pocket to unlock the door, squeezing Alex’s hand as they both moved inside. He stopped after closing the door, turning to his boyfriend. “Do you want me to avoid doing anything? It’s been a long time, and I want to make sure I don’t push you too far,” he said, feeling the tension in his body building in anticipation of what was about to happen.

“No.” He shook his head, keeping a large smile on his face. “It has been a long time. But you’ve always got free range with me. Whatever you want.” Alex had always had that mentality, he had unfortunately picked it up from when he had been a prostitute back home. “Push as much as you want.”

“Because i’m alone. And wanted my family.” He didn’t expect anyone to understand. It seemed everyone just thought he was awful for just leaving his family  but no one wanted to hear about how his family treats him or how it makes him feel. How he feels so alone, like an outside in his own home. “II don’t know -” He sighed.

“Oh, sweetie.” He frowned. He knew the feeling of wanting his family, though he had his own reasons for that. Alex took the man’s hand, giving it a small squeeze. “I get that. But I think it would have been better to at least tell Chris, or make up some sort of lie. But I’m not going to judge you.” He reassured him.

[therealjustink]

“Yeah, looking back I have no idea why my parents thought that was a good idea. They thought I was satanic cause I questioned everything. There are not enough hours in the day for me to confess my sins. Although, not gonna lie, I could be into that if the priest is hot. Super worth it.” He said, holding back a grin. “We’ll see.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“Parents can be pretty dumb, just as all other people can be. But yours sound just a little bit dumber than most. Then I guess we’ll have to go multiple times, ‘cause you’re a sinner.” Alex thought for a moment about the priest. “Eh, he’s alright. A little bit older, like he’s almost a hot dad. You’d better not change it, you son of a bitch.”

[therealjustink]

“I’m not. If anything, it’s probably happened more times. I remember I went to and got kicked out of Catholic school, but while I was there we had to confess to the priest and I was a very sinful fourth grader but when I went I couldn’t think of anything so when I get home my dad was like what did you have to do and I go ‘I had to do one Hail Mary.’ and in confusion he starts listing all the awful things I did just that year and when I told him I didn’t mention any of that he goes ‘so you lied to the priest.’ Sounds like a plan. Because you’re worth it?” He asked, laughing a little too much. “I should probably change the song then cause you’ll think it’s about you. Can’t inflate your ego too much.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“No way. Wait, you went to Catholic school? That’s amazing, it sounds hilarious, I’m sure you were a wonderful little hellion. Oh my lord, you can’t just lie to priests, dude. Now you have to come with me to church with Sunday and confess your sins and repent.” Alex was only joking, though he would love to see that shit happen. “Uh, yeah, I’m super worth it. You’d better not, it’ll be so much better if you don’t.”

[therealjustink]

“More like a couple thousand. It just scares me. I’m sorry that you’ve been hurt that badly. Really. Yeah, I’d like that. Definitely both. What’s art without dessert to go with it?”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“Oh come on, you’re exaggerating. Yeah, it’s definitely a scary feeling to think you might hurt someone. Oh, nah, don’t even worry about that.” Alex laughed softly and nodded at him. “Perfect, I’ll bring my art and some amazing dessert and it’ll be like a real art show and you can serenade me because I’m worth it.”

[therealjustink]

“Just a little. Thats because I’ve done it before. I say and do the worst things when I lose control. I don’t want to hurt you at all. I was actually working on another song, a better one, maybe I’ll sing it for you when I’m done.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“Maybe, but once or twice doesn’t mean that you’re going to do it over and over again. Besides, everyone loses control sometimes. Then I’ll make sure you don’t, I don’t even think you could if you tried. Really? That’d be awesome. I’ll let you see my next painting then. Or maybe I’ll just bake you treats.”

[therealjustink]

“Oh yeah, I screamed like a little girl who just got a puppy for Christmas. I always worry. Paranoia and all that. No, I… I am. We’re just not close enough for me to hurt you yet… I believe you.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“Aw, you’re a dork.” He teased, chuckling softly. “Well, your paranoia makes you a bit of a better person. Worrying about others is very sweet. You’re even worried that you’ll end up hurting people. But don’t worry, you couldn’t hurt me more than I’ve already been. Good, I’m glad to hear that. You should definitely sing some more for me sometime.”

[therealjustink]

“I know. We had the longest phone call when we found out. I just kept thinking about how much younger me would’ve died. I thought I had someone like that for a while, but I was wrong. I think I’d rather know someone’s problems and help them like they help me than believe someone doesn’t have problems when they do. I don’t know that.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“Oh, I bet. How did older you feel about it? Was it still exciting to tour with them?” He asked curiously, raising an eyebrow. “Oh...Well, that’s good of you. I feel similarly, though it is nice not to have to worry. Sounds like you’re not as bad as you make yourself out to be. Okay, sometimes I lie, but I’m not lying about this.”

[therealjustink]

“I thought the same thing, but actually toured with them last summer, so it worked. Maybe not, but she’s seen me at my worst and she’s still here, so maybe it’s good that she’s not the most sane person out there. How do I know you mean that?”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“Oh, wow. That’s some serious dedication right there, I can’t believe you guys actually got to. I dunno, even when people have seen you like that and stick around, it’s better to have mentally sound people around you. it keeps you mentally sane yourself. Because I’m not a liar.”

[therealjustink]

“It’s what I’ve always wanted to do. I didn’t actually. My friend Tessa dragged me into it. She was obsessed with this band and wanted to try to get close to them so she started a band in hopes that one day we would tour with them. She told me I was very good looking, but couldn’t sing, so she made me learn how to play the guitar.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“Oh wow. That’s a super weird reason to start a band, she doesn’t really sound mentally stable. I mean, she was right about you being good looking, but I think you’ve got a nice voice, you could definitely surpass her.”

[therealjustink]

“It’s a compliment. Definitely. I’ve been in my band since I was twelve and I still live to be on stage. Playing for the four people who know who we are is worth all the things I don’t like.”

[alexanderwolfeq]

“That’s good. I’m glad that after all that time you still love it. it’s super important to follow that kind of stuff. What made you start your band?”

[alexanderwolfeq]

cory-420:

“I ran away. I didn’t just take a vacation to Australia, I just packed up and left. And told no one.” It was similar to everything he knew. He ran away from home at 16, then moved away to the US at 18, this would’ve been nothing shocking to a therapist. “I left for two weeks.”

Alex was pretty shocked by Cory’s confession. Sitting up, he looked at him quizzically. “Why? Is everything okay, Cory? Why would you just up and run away?” He asked, wrapping his arm around Cory like the other had to him earlier.
