Exhaust yourself, boy exotic. Wear your body and your mind down to a sand, and then come back.
Jack Barakat remembers exactly how he fell for his best friend.
not my fic
Alex and Jack were the perfect high school sweethearts until they both made horrible mistakes. Now Jack is pregnant and thanks to his “mistake” he doesn’t know who’s the father of the baby. Will it be his used-to-be soulmate, Alex, or the other guy?
“Alex is a Sag, so ideally, this would be his favorite constellation. But it’s not. No, Alex loves Gemini, the twins, the two brightest stars in the Universe. The center of Alex’s universe. Because Jack is a gemini. It’s the constellation that he looks for every day when he lies outside on his Rugrats blanket.”

He stopped the sound abruptly, but the smile still played on his perfect, red lips. His gaze stayed glued to Jack's, but only for a moment before he was looking down about an inch, pupils landing on his date's lips.
“What?” I asked, feeling my toes dig more into the warm sand the longer we stood in place. I looked up, staring into the light brown eyes that never fail to make my heart skip. He looked away, shaking his head while his lip slipped between his teeth. I frowned, reaching forward to grab his cold hands. I intertwined our fingers, squeezing tight at the limp feel of his against mine. “You.” He sighed, dropping his head down to look at our tangled hands. “Me?” I whispered, feeling my stomach somersault. “You.” He repeated quietly, squeezing my hands back. “What about me?” I wondered, licking my dry lips. “I don’t know.” He revealed, falling quiet as the breeze hit us. “You make me…feel something.” I grinned, pulling his hands into my chest while I tilted my head up. He looked down at me, slowly licking his lips before leaning down to press our foreheads together. “Is that a good thing?” I questioned, feeling a familiar rush of butterflies as his breath hit my lips. “I don’t know.” He answered, pressing our lips together.
Jack is going to be a new boy at a new school, and his big senior brother Zack, is really his only friend. His best friend. That starts to change though when Jack meets Alex, a flamboyant youth in Jack's grade.
