"J-Jack.. does this, you know, make us anything?" Alex asked nervously, toying with the strings of his sweats the boys had changed into.
Jack pulled on his night shirt and walked up to the older boy, putting his hands on his waist. "We can be whatever you want, if you're stupid enough to take me back."
Alex leaned his forehead on Jack's, "I so want to kiss you right now."
"What's stopping you?" Jack asked before he attempt to capture Alex's lips in a kiss, but the elder moved away.
"Jack, what if I have something like AIDS…"
Jack rolled his eyes. "If you have AIDS, then I want AIDS, because if you died I'd want to die with you."
Alex shushed the other and put his finger to the raven haired boy's mouth. "Don't talk like that! I just got you back, I don't want to think about re-losing you."
"You got me back? Does that mean…"
"Would you like to make the biggest mistake of your life and be my boyfriend?"
"I'd love to." Jack smiled and kissed Alex hard on the mouth, backing him against a wall. Moving his hands to the brunette's hair, he grabbed the strands, pulling slightly because he knows that Alex has some weird hair pulling kink, but Jack doesn't mind because maybe he finds it hot. Maybe.
As if on cue, Alex moaned and grabbed Jack's hips, pulling his bottom half closer. And just as soon as his hands were on Jack, they left, and when Jack realized what happened Alex was pacing the room, nearly pulling his own hair out.
"Shit, fuck, Jack I-I'm so sorry, I don't know what got into me and-"
"Alex, what are you even going on about?" Jack panted, trying to catch his breath.
Alex walked over, standing in front of Jack and calming down a little. "I know I shouldn't have pulled you closer to me, I mean, why would you want your crotch even near mine right now? God dammit Jack I'm so sorry! I-"
"Oh my god Alex shut the fuck up!" Jack exclaimed before snaking his index fingers around Alex's belt loops and pulling their hips together as he kissed the shorter boy.
Alex kissed back and immediately relaxed, threading his fingers through the dyed locks. He granted Jack access, giving him permission to take over control with his tongue.
Jack walked the brunette backwards to the bed, falling on to it when they hit the mattress.
"Jack" Alex panted as he pulled away. "Y-you can't do this."
Alex laughed a little at Jack's confused expression, "I mean you can't turn me on if we're going to have to stop."
Jack rolled off Alex, laying down on the bed. "How can I help myself when you're so fucking hot?"
Alex laid down as well, flicking the light switch on his lamp to off, before pulling the covers up.
He planted one last kiss on Jack's lips, "We'll see what the doctor says tomorrow and continue on with this, okay?"
Jack simply hummed and cuddled up into Alex.
Alex, who always popped boners before anyone else (because that's what happens when you whore around.) He whispered Jack's name a few times before declaring him asleep. Slowly and carefully, he plied Jack off his body and slid out from the covers, walking over into the bathroom.
And shut the door and pulled down his sweats in record time, biting his lip and he began jacking off.
He washed his hand and threw away the tissues before pulling his pants back up and sneaking into his bed, cuddling back up into Jack.
"You're so loud. I can't wait to fuck you." Jack mumbled against Alex's neck before sucking on it.
And groaned out of embarrassment and slight sexual frustration before gripping Jack's hair and lightly pulling him off.
"Wait until tomorrow, horndog."
"But that was so hot! The way you moan my name-"
"Enough!" Alex cut in, his cheeks flaming red. "Now go to sleep."
"Night Lexi." Jack whispered, tucking his head into Alex's neck.
"Goodnight Jacky." Alex replied. Of course he didn't mean it, tomorrow was a big day and he was scared out of his mind.
He never had the courage to tell Jack the main reason he was so afraid was because his mom worked as a nurse.
><
Alex and Jack walked hand-in hand, at their own slow pace, into the doctor's office. Alex didn't know what he was more nervous about, the fact that he could possibly have a sexually transmitted disease, or that his mom happens to work in the building.
But even without that fact, who actually likes hospitals? The "Contaminated Needles & Syringes" signs weren't comforting, especially with the 'Biohazard' and 'Please Don't Touch' warning labels. As if anyone wanted to touch them. And the 'Biohazardous Waste' trashcans that are mere inches away from the chairs you have to sit on. The chairs, that have to be covered in a thin sheet of paper because every single patient that has sat there before you had some deathly disease that you could easily catch with all he protection in the world and simply breathing could get you contaminated.
Then there's the waiting rooms. Look to your left, someone's sneezing. Look to your right, someone's having coughing fit. Off in the distance you can hear someone blowing their nose, and there's those damn crying babies. There's always one. Plus, you have to sit on chairs which are contaminated and too, too close to the person next to you. Jack just did not like hospitals. Unlike Alex, who became completely used to them since his mom was always there and overtime he came home from school early, sick, his ass was planted in her office and he'd have 500 tests run.
Jack ushered the older boy to sit down as he went to check in at the front desk, unamused with the apathetic, monotonous, and might he add rather large woman sitting at the front desk who gave him an attitude. He noticed her dirty looks the second Jack had kissed Alex's forehead before he went up to her.
Sorry for being bisexual, Miss Office Lady, when God gave me the option I jumped at it.
It could have been she was just jealous that his boyfriend was fucking sexy and she couldn't have him because he's too hot for her.
Jack walked back to his boyfriend after filling out a few forms and had a split second to sit before to doctor appeared at the door. "Gaskarth?"
Jack gave Alex's hand a quick squeeze before they stood up, following the doctor into his office.
"I'm Dr. Hoppus, pleasure to meet you. It's just unfortunate that it has to be under these circumstances, but lucky for me, I get to say that to everyone I meet."
Alex smiled lightly at the doctor. In any other situation he would have laughed, but something about this moment just wasn't funny.
"Alright, I say we cut to the chase, how does that sound?" The doctor proposed as he grabbed a clip board, a pile of papers, and a ball point pen as the two sat down.
"O-okay." Alex chocked out, nervously rubbing his hands together and bouncing his leg up and down.
Jack placed his hand on his knee. "Calm down baby, I'm sure everything's turned out fine."
"Alrighty, so here's a sheet," Dr. Hoppus handed a sheet to each Jack and Alex. "So as you can see here, it has a list of all the sexually transmitted diseases you've been tested for. Herpes came out clear, as well as Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chancriod, Genital Warts, and Hepatitis B. Unfortunately, you have HIV."
The doctor watched as the boy's faces turned from nervous-relief to horror. "I'm kidding! I'm just kidding, that came out clear. But as you can see, Chlamydia is in red. Unfortunately, that means you're infected."
Alex's expression was unreadable. And if you were in Alex's mind, it would be unreadable to. It's almost as if it had shut down, his thought process came to a halt, the world around him had stopped spinning and gravity no longer existed. Every emotion he'd once knew flew out the window, and no words came to mind. This couldn't be happening. No. No. No.
"There has to have been a mistake." Jack stated, shaking his head in disbelief.
"I wish I could say that I read the results wrong, but a urine sample can't lie. As far as the blood test, there was a high count of red blood cells, and some tenderness on the genital area last time Alex was here and we did his physical. On the bright side, and yes, there is a bright side, Chlamydia is a bacterial disease. Unlike viral diseases, they can be cured when prescribed antibiotics. And it seems that we've caught your friend Alex here just in time."
"W-what can I do?" Alex asked, slightly shaking. Jack wanted to grab him, pull him to his chest and hold him to protect him from all the harmful things in the world, keeping him in a safe little bubble where everything is rainbows and unicorns and marshmallow fluff. But in reality, that wouldn't make anything better, and it definitely wouldn't make his STD disappear.
"We're going to put you on Doxycycline for two weeks, and you must take it orally twice a day." Dr Hoppus directed his attention towards Jack. "And no sexual activity until those two weeks are up." He tore his eyes away from Jack and focused back on the brunette. "In one month you're going to have to be checked again to make sure it went away completely and didn't come back, alright?"
Alex nodded, his head hung in defeat as the doctor circled a few words and phrases on his sheet of paper, taking Alex's and Jack's copies and giving them his own. "I've put your order in at the pharmacy, after this appointment you can go and grab the medication."
"H-how much will it cost? I'm not very well off financially." Alex bit his lip.
Dr. Hoppus read over his sheet once more. "Well, Alex, speaking your a doctor's family you get prescriptions for free."
"I, I, what?" Alex asked, dumbfounded.
"She's a wonderful nurse to work with, Isobel. We've been partners for almost 14 years, she came back to work when you were around two. The minute I told her you were going to need medication, she jumped right on it and put the order in. She talks about you all the time, you know. Look right over there," the doctor pointed across the room, "didn't you notice that picture of you?"
Alex slowly stood up, making his way over to the single picture frame sitting on top of a file cabinet collecting dust. He blew on the glass, causing dust to fly up into the air and circle around him.
And sure as hell, there was a picture taken the day before Alex was kicked out of his house. In the middle of his mom and dad he sat the happiest he'd been in his life, a huge grin plastered across his face. Alex remembered that day like no other. His fourteenth birthday. He snapped back to reality when the photo was taken out of his grasp. He turned his head to see Jack standing over him, tracing a finger across the surface of the glass.
Alex grabbed the picture back, putting it back on the filing cabinet and grabbed Jack's arm.
"We have to go." Alex declared, walking towards the door frantically.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Hoppus." Jack said as he shook the doctors hand.
"JACK!" Alex yelled from the doorframe, tears making his way down his face.
The aforementioned boy fast walked to his boyfriend, taking his hand and leading him to the pharmacy.
"It's okay," he mumbled into Alex's ear, "everything's going to be fine. Would you like to wait in the car as I grab your prescription?"
Alex simply nodded before he turned the opposite direction and left the building. A pang shot through Jack's chest as he watched his boyfriend trudge with his shoulders slumped and his head hung low. If he knew what whore gave Alex Chlamydia, he'd shove knives up her vagina and kill her entire immediate and extended family.
Jack waited patiently in line until finally, Alex's name was called. He walked up to the counter and waited as the lady came back with the medication.
When she finally looked up at Jack, her face fell. "You're not Alex?"
"No, I'm his boyfriend. Alex wanted to wait in the car." Jack explained while rapping his fingertips on the desk.
"B-boyfriend?" The woman gasped, clutching the pill bottle to her chest.
Jack sighed, "Look, I understand that you may not agree with our sexuality but I'm pretty sure your job is to hand me that pill bottle so we can be on our way, and I promise our gayness won't rub off on you."
"That wasn't me! I-I swear, it was Peter!" The lady exclaimed almost frantically.
"Who's Peter?" Jack was ready to run out of the building, away from this insane woman.
"Don't you know who I am?" She asked desperately. When Jack shook his head she continued on. "I'm Isolbel, his mother."
Jack narrowed his eyes. "Here's the deal," Jack snarled, his voice turning cold, "you give me that pill bottle and I'll leave you alone, or you keep the pill bottle and your son can go without his antibiotics and suffer."
"You have to understand! I-I wanted to keep Alex, he's all I have left! I-it was his father, Peter. He didn't agree with his sexuality! I mean, yes, I'd love grandchildren, but I'd rather have adopted ones over- over nothing." Isobel's eyes filled with tears, ready to overflow.
"That explains the lack of phone calls and letters he gets from you. That's why you chose your husband over your son. Alex happens to be the best god damned thing to have set foot on this planet. It's pretty fucking stupid to force him out of your life."
Jack never thought he'd meet Alex's mom. But, if he did, he for sure didn't think this is how it would play out. Cussing at her, telling her how wrong she is, making her cry. She deserves it, though. Ruining Alex's life and then thinking handing him his medication would make everything okay again.
Isobel slid the pill bottle over soundlessly, not even looking at Jack. He snatched the bottle, throwing a quick 'thanks' her way and storming out of the building.
Jack was so mad, he hardly even noticed he knocked in to somebody, causing them to fall.
"Oh, man, I'm so sorry." Jack put his hand out, helping the person up. "Ryan?"
"Oh, hey uh, Jack." Ryan said, not meeting Jack's eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"Picking up some medication. Doxycycline."
"Same here. That wouldn't happen to be for Alex, would it?" Ryan asked, eyeing the bag which contained the bottle in Jacks hand.
"Actually, yes, why?"
><
Jack angrily slammed the car door, crossing his arms over his chest and huffing.
"You know when Ryan spread the rumor that you had Gonorrhea?" Jack asked.
"Yes," Alex replied, scared of where this conversation would lead to.
"Gonorrhea is easily mistaken for Chlamydia." The raven haired boy informed.
"Okay, how would Ryan know I'm infected?"
Jack finally turned to look at Alex, tears welling in his eyes. "I ran into Ryan on the way out. He's infected too."
Alex's face paled. "So, you think I got it from Ryan?"
"I'm thinking that fucker knew he was infected a while ago, and didn't have the fucking balls to inform his sexual partners and tell them to get tested. His doctor probably confused it for Gonorrhea, and went back today and found out he has Chlamydia."
"Jack, of course someone gave it to me. Why does it matter if it's Ryan? I mean, I guess it's karma for cheating on him." Alex explained calmly.
"You cheated on him?" Jack's voice escalated with every word spoken.
"I figured he would have told you." Alex rubbed the back of his neck with his palm.
"W-would you cheat on me?" Jack asked in small voice, idly twiddling his thumbs.
"Jack! No, I'd never, don't even say that! Don't even think that!"
"Why wouldn't you? You seem to have no problem cheating on another guy, but as soon as I step into the picture everything just fucking changes!"
"K-kyle talked to me after Ryan dumped me. And Zack. And the other Rian. They were all so mad at me, because they thought Ryan was just Mr. Perfect, and they made me promise to clean up my act o-or they'd stop being as supportive as they are now. I wouldn't hurt you Jack, I never wanted to, do you know how many people would stick with me while I have an STD? None, Jack. People like you are rare, and I don't plan on letting you leave. N-not again." Alex sniffled for the hundredth time.
Jack pulled Alex int a hug. "I'm sorry Alex. I'm sorry I even thought that for a second."
"Just drive me home." Alex replied coldly.

"Jack! No, I'd never, don't even say that! Don't even think that!"
"Why wouldn't you? You seem to have no problem cheating on another guy, but as soon as I step into the picture everything just fucking changes!"
"K-kyle talked to me after Ryan dumped me. And Zack. And the other Rian. They were all so mad at me, because they thought Ryan was just Mr. Perfect, and they made me promise to clean up my act o-or they'd stop being as supportive as they are now. I wouldn't hurt you Jack, I never wanted to, do you know how many people would stick with me while I have an STD? None, Jack. People like you are rare, and I don't plan on letting you leave. N-not again." Alex sniffled for the hundredth time.
Jack pulled Alex int a hug. "I'm sorry Alex. I'm sorry I even thought that for a second."
"Just drive me home." Alex replied coldly.
