It was 12 am, Jack was laying on his bed attempting to sleep. He had just gotten back from a movie with an old friend. 2 weeks had passed since the incident with Tom. Alex’s parents had sent Tom to a therapist. The therapist wouldn’t tell Alex’s parents why Tom had tried to commit suicide because Tom had asked the therapist not to tell. But Alex had told Jack that Tom seemed genuinely happy and better. Turns out he had been cutting, and after 2 days of seeing the therapist, Tom had given Alex his razors, telling Alex to never give them back no matter what. Jack had never cut before, but he had heard it was addictive, like being addicted to drugs. It must have taken a lot of willpower for Tom to give them up. Tom had personally thanked Jack for saving him, because he was now willing to give life another chance.
On another topic, Jack and Alex were still friends, friends that flirted anyway. Rian always complained about the sexual tension that was in the room every time Jack and Alex were in the same room. Every time Rian said that, Alex blushed and Jack laughed. By Alex’s actions, Jack was pretty sure that if he asked, Alex would say yes. Pretty sure anyway. You never knew, maybe Alex had found somebody else he liked better.
Jack always had these long debates in his head, between the optimistic Jack and the pessimistic Jack. Optimistic Jack said that judging by how Alex had reacted that day after the blowjob, Alex wanted Jack. Pessimistic Jack said that it was 2 weeks ago, things have changed. Alex could find a better looking, a smarter guy.
“Jack?” Rian murmured from his bed.
“Yeah, it's me. Go back to sleep.” Jack said. Rian was a light sleeper, the slightest thing wold wake him up.
Rian mumbled incoherently, turning over his side, scratching his balls.
“Alex...phone....wants...Jack...” Rian murmured.
Jack froze. What did Rian just say? He couldn't have, could he? Maybe he was just passing a message onto Jack? Had Jack missed a call from Alex, leading to Alex leaving a message with Rian? The optimistic side of Jack spoke up. Maybe he meant a different way. Maybe he meant want as if wants you to fuck him want. Jack shook his head.
He'd go to sleep and forget about it, it probably meant nothing, right?

10:26 am, Alex and Jack were sitting besides each other in their photography class. The teacher was drawing a diagram of people, showing different ways, depending on the model's pose to take a picture. There was the typical one, where the model would look far ahead, not looking at the camera.
“Okay, class. Let's go outside to finish this lesson. You guys can show me how good of a teacher I am.” she said, picking up her folder and camera.
The class shuffled outside, forming their own little groups. Last term, Jack had sat with a guy who had piercings and loved Mickey Mouse, named Matt Flyzik. Flyzik now took this class in the afternoon, leaving Jack to sit alone for a week, before Alex had arrived. Jack couldn't lie though, Alex was a good replacement for Matt.
Alex walked into Bryant Park and sat on a rock, his caramel colored hair glinting in the bright sun. Jack took a deep breath, Alex was just so fucking attractive. His hair was perfect tousled by the wind, face perfectly tan. His long legs were clad in dark wash skinny jeans, defining the curve of his ass. His lanky torso covered by a tight fitting t shirt, which showed his distinct flat stomach.
“Quit staring at me and take the bloody picture already.” Alex said, grinning.
That's where Alex and Jack were now. They both acknowledged the fact that they liked each other, but Jack still felt bad. He didn't want to ask Alex to date him this soon, it might make Alex think he was two faced and couldn't make up his mind. It was pretty obvious that Alex liked Jack back, or “fancied” as Alex would probably say. Jack wondered if he should just let Alex make the move. But nah, Alex was sensitive and the “woman of the relationship” , if that was the right way to say it.
Jack picked up his camera, aiming it and making sure sunlight made Alex's hair look as good as possible. Jack knew what he would do. He would think of a way to ask Alex out, a way so Alex would be so impressed he couldn't say no.
That's it.
That's what Jack would do.
