BLUE Chapter Ten
"Let's partyyyyy!" It was hard to believe Tasha wasn't drunk as Alex stepped into the Uber containing her parked outside his house. Since neither of them had a car and both considered it bizarre to ask their guardians to drive them to a party at night, they opted to ordering an Uber. It was to initially pick Tasha from her place then Alex then drive them to the house the party was going to be holding. Dressed in skinny ripped jeans and a white T-shirt alongside a denim jacket, Alex felt dressed enough for the party. It was his first party and as such was clueless on how to go about it but on getting downstairs and receiving a thumbs up from his very dramatic cousin, he knew he was good to go.His hair was washed and blow dried and smelt like the strawberry flavored shampoo his aunt had supplied him. Lucas dashed into his room and brought out an expensive looking cologne and didn't hesitate to drown him in it. With his card, phone and spare house keys in his hand, he bid his aunt and
BLUE Chapter Eleven
"What?!" Tasha burst into laughter as Alex stared at the list in front of him. The professor from his first day and class at college had kept to her words and had sent out a list of projects for the students that missed her class on the first day. The only problem was that Alex's name was the first on the list. Tasha had rushed to class to tell him he was included. He initially dismissed it and concluded she was joking but as he noticed her look grew more serious with every second, he had to get on his feet to actually check the list himself. And to his great surprise, his name truly was the first on the list. "This is ridiculous," he said to a still laughing Tasha. It was amusing to her how the tides had quickly changed from him laughing and her being the serious one. "Is there perhaps another Alex Croft in our year?" "Even if there was," she replied, obviously still holding back her laughter. "Would you both have the same ID number? Look, it's exactly yours." "But I attended h
BLUE Chapter Twelve
"Alex!" Alex looked up to meet Tasha waving at him standing few meters opposite the professor's offices building. He waved at her in return as they both began walking towards each other, meeting at the middle. "There you are," she said to him as they were only few inches apart. "You took longer than expected though. Was it just her you were talking to." "Yes, of course. I met just her," he replied, getting rid of all possibilities of Seb's name making way to their conversation. "Did you come to meet me?" "Something like that," she smirked. "I figured if I couldn't go with you to her office, I could at least wait for you outside it." "Oh, I wasn't expecting that, thanks-" "Of course you're welcome," she flung her arms around him. "So how did it go? Please tell me she reversed it?" "Sadly, no," he flashed her a pathetic look. "She insisted I wasn't in her class despite all my efforts on trying to convince her otherwise. She's just crazy." "Aw sweetie," she pat him. "She really
BLUE Chapter Thirteen
“What are you doing here?” The look of shock seemed to have vanished from Seb’s face now replaced with one of mischief. He was in a faded tshirt and had shorts on with his hair falling all over his face making it obvious it was still wet from a recent washing. Alex literally gulped. “I literally should be the one asking you that,” he replied Alex, folding his arms. “What are you doing at my house?” “Your ho-house?” Alex was already stuttering. “How is this your house? This is supposed to be-” “Alex! You’re here!” Seb shifted to reveal Victoria waving and walking excitedly towards them. Alex heaved a little sigh of relief on spotting her and anticipated her saving him from the fast brewing uncomfortable situation. “Do you know him?” “Do you know him?”“Wait a sec, do you guys know each other?” Victoria burst into laughter as the trio simultaneously asked each other questions. “Okay we need to all chill out and you know-” “I’m at the right place, right?” Alex flashed his ph
BLUE Chapter Fourteen
Never in Alex’s wildest dreams did he imagine he could spend several hours working on a project and feel so comfortable doing so. Over extra two hours were spent and Alex totally lost track of time. Probably because the floor of Victoria’s room felt so warm as he sat on it or because Victoria was just an amazing team partner- he couldn’t figure out which, but he found himself with a strange type of comfort as he worked. Or, probably because he knew he could get an extra help just whenever he wanted one. Whatever it was, it managed to keep him going and he was glad. “Do your both plan on working yourselves to death?” Victoria’s room door was opened without permission to reveal Seb. He folded his arms, shook his head and stared at them then the floor they were working on. “Why are you in my room?” Vic spoke up. “Look here,” he unfolded his arms. “All of these- you guys working and all is a cute sight to see but it’s getting late, okay?” “Late?” “Look at that,” Seb shook his h
BLUE Chapter Fifteen
"Shit." Alex said the word out loud staring at himself in the mirror with his toothbrush in his hand. He had woken up by his normal wake up time- few minutes past seven and immediately got into the bathroom to get ready. He decorated his toothbrush with toothpaste, mentally picked his outfit of the day including his footwear and was about to have his toothbrush roam his mouth when he realized he didn't ask Seb the time they were to meet up. Mentally groaning, he walked back into his room and unplugged his phone from the charger. With his toothbrush in his left hand and phone in his right, he texted him. Alex: Good morning... Alex: I forgot to ask yesterday. When should we meet up? He waited for a few seconds and on getting no reply, sent his toothbrush into his mouth. It went in circles, Alex's eyes doing the same as he waited for a reply. He didn't get any and when he was finally done with brushing and washing his face, he resorted to calling him. The phone rang a couple o
BLUE Chapter Sixteen
Sebastian walked out of his room dressed in ripped black jeans, a grey t-shirt and a checkered shirt. His eyes roamed the house and on spotting Alex, his whole face lit up with a smile. “I’m here,” Seb said out loud, walking towards Alex. “I’m not too late, am i?” “No, it’s okay,” Alex replied, getting up to meet Seb. Stylishly, he checked him out from head to toe and mentally commented how he managed to look so effortlessly. “Your shoes.” “What?” Before Seb could complete his statement, Alex crouched in front of him and took his shoe laces into his hands. “Your shoe laces are untied.” “Oh, are they?” Seb chuckled, watching Alex wrap the laces around his seeming delicate fingers then tie them into a knot. “Didn’t realize.” “You didn’t have to rush,” he finally said then got up, allowing himself use the opportunity of being that close to him to inhale his cologne to his heart content. “I could wait.” “Still,” Seb looked at him. “I didn’t want to keep you waiting for too long.”
BLUE Chapter Seventeen
Picking a book from his newly furnished and stocked shelf, Alex grabbed his backpack and prepared to step out of his room. He walked and switched off the lights, mentally marvelling on how the room now looked and commending himself for a job well done. The previous night was an exhausting one and as he remembered how he initially struggled with getting the wallpaper in place, it reminded him of just how hard he tried to get the memories of the day out of his mind. Brushing the thoughts away, he gave his new wallpaper a final pat and stepped out. Immediately shutting the door behind him, he walked through the hallways and quickened his steps on getting to the edge of the stairs. He had gotten used to skipping the stairs heading to the down floor every morning to meet his aunt and cousin. They were always seated and it seemed like waiting for him had become a routine for them- his aunt, waiting with smiles and his cousin waiting with a new mischievous look on his face. He was finall

BLUE Chapter Fifty-One
None of them could remember the order with which they left Alex’s room but all they could recall was all getting into Carol’s car and in no time, getting to the hospital. They got to the hospital and immediately headed to Alex’s room. Sounds of gratitude escaped their lips as they stepped into his room, watching him sit up on his bed, eyes open and having less machines connected to him. “Alex,” his aunt let out, walking towards him. He looked up at her, looking way better than he did the previous night and had her heave a sigh of relief. “How are you? How do you feel?”“I’m fine, Aunt Carol,” he replied her. “What happened? How did you find me?” “I’m sure you know you obviously got into an accident,” she said to him. “Seb found you and brought you here. What happened?” “I-” “It’s fine,” she quickly cut him off, patting his hand. “We’ll talk about that later. All that matters right now is that you’re fine.” “You should have seen yourself when they rushed you here,” Lucas playful
BLUE Chapter Fifty
After a couple of minutes more, they were all finally allowed to go in to see Alex. Seb walked in, Carol and Lucas taking lead as they moved towards Alex’s bed. He was changed into the typical patient’s outfit, a bandage wrapped around his head, few machines connected to him. They all stared at him, no words getting uttered. After a while, Carol heaved a sigh and walked out, Lucas doing the same to leave the room empty with just Alex and Seb in it. “Blue,” Seb moved closer towards Alex when it was just them in the room. Sighing, he took a seat next to him and placed his hand on his. “What were you thinking? I am the one who was supposed to get hurt after jumping out of the window. Why are you the one here?” Getting nothing but the beeping sounds from the machines in response, Seb ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “Seriously, why are you doing this to me? I told you were going to get through this together so why- Forget it, I’m going to get mad at you properly when
BLUE Chapter Fourty-Nine
It was late already and Seb had almost given up on Alex returning his calls when he finally had his phone ring, signifying an incoming call from him. He was probably unable to sleep, still worried about everything that happened so fast and finally ready to speak to him, he thought and without hesitation, swiped to pick the call. "Hey." Much to his surprise, he didn't hear the familiar voice of his boyfriend over the phone. Instead, it was the voice of a woman, seeming grown and oddly sounding familiar. "Hello?" "Blue?" He asked in confusion. On hearing the voice for a second time he was sure it wasn't Alex who was speaking. "Is that you?" "Sebastian, is that you?" The person said in return. "It's me, Carol. Alex's aunt." He heaved a sigh of relief and almost immediately, had his heartbeat quicken again. "Carol?" "Yes, it's me," she confirmed. "Um, Alex left his phone behind so I just wanted to ask if he was at your place." "What?" Seb's heart stopped for a second. "What did y
BLUE Chapter Fourty-Eight
“Alex, are you-” Alex eyes immediately flew open, glancing at Seb on top him almost naked and then his aunt by the door, eyes widened, frozen in shock and horror. “Oh my God,” Alex immediately gasped, Seb reflexly getting off him. Lowering his t-shirt to cover his upper body, he got off his bed and looked at Carol. “Aunt Carol-” She raised her hand to stop him from talking then sent her gaze to the floor. Unable to bring herself to look at them, she shook her head and immediately turned to leave the room without uttering a single word. “Shit,” Alex cursed the minute she left, realization hitting him all over again. He kept on cursing, his hands running through his hair as he did. “Shit, shit.” “Hey,” Seb quickly put on his shirt then walked towards Alex. “Hey, calm down.” “What?” Alex gave him a quick glance before shaking his head. “How am I supposed to do that? Don’t you realize what just happened? Did you see the look on her face?” “Blue-” “She looked horrified,” Alex sho
BLUE Chapter Fourty-Seven
The next few weeks went by rather quickly.It was the finally the first day of a new semester and both Alex and Seb were fully prepared. Having spent the past few weeks together, they had both gotten extremely used to each other’s presence. Alex: See you at school then! Replying Seb’s last message, Alex grabbed his backpack and headed downstairs. Ever since he got back from London, his closeness with Seb had been visibly obvious to even his aunt. Though she thought they were nothing but good platonic friends, Alex had no intention of changing her mind any time soon. “Good morning, Aunt Carol,” announcing his presence with a greeting, Alex took a seat on the dining right opposite his cousin. “Morning, Alex,” she replied him with the same ever cheerful voice. “Was just about to have Lucas call you. So how’s it going? Ready for a new semester? Wow, it feels like it was just yesterday you moved here.” “Well,” he couldn’t say the same though. A lot had happened since he moved in. A
BLUE Chapter Fourty-Six
Alex woke up with a smile on his face. He turned, feeling Seb’s grip around his waist tighten and chuckled in return, memories of the previous night flooding back. The non-existent distance between them gave him the opportunity to stare at Seb to his heart’s content. He was sleeping so peacefully, with his arms wrapped around his waist. His chest and whole body was bare, Alex blushing at the sight. “How long are you going to be staring at me for?” “You,” Alex faked a scowl. “When would you stop pretending to be asleep?” “Never,” he nuzzled Alex’s hair, pulling him even closer. “I love watching you watch me.” “That makes no sense.” “Maybe,” Seb smiled. “How are you?” Blinking at Seb’s randomness, Alex thought of a reply. He was a lot of things. Happy, sore- to name a few. “I’m great. How about you?” In response, Seb had his fingers caress Alex’s face. He smiled, uttering no words as he allowed himself get lost in the moment. He liked him so much. So much he felt like his h
BLUE Chapter Fourty-Five
Immediately after breakfast, Alex and Seb stepped out of their hotel room to get into the car to head to Alex’s old home. The ride was silent and Seb could easily notice how nervous Alex was. At intervals, he pressed his lips together, rubbed his palms against each other and had sighs escape his lips an unusual amount of times. Seb on the other hand, wasn’t sure on how to feel. It was frustrating for him to watch Alex panic and eventually, ended up holding his hand throughout the ride trying to make him feel better. “You can pull over here,” Alex said, letting go of Seb’s hands. “We’re only a stroll away now.” “Okay,” Seb nodded then pulled over. He watched him unclasp his seatbelt, did the same and stepped out of the car after Alex.True to Alex’s words, they were right in front of the house after only walking past a few blocks. He stopped, took a deep exhale then walked to the main entrance. Hesitating for a while, Alex took the keys out of his pocket and shoved it into the ke

“Good morning.” “Hey,” Alex replied, slowly opening his eyes to the light as Seb opened the curtains. “Good morning.” “Did I wake you?” Seb asked, adjusting the blinds. “I mean do you want to get some more sleep?” “No, it’s fine I’m up already,” Alex replied then sat up, watching Seb give the blinds a final tug before walking to take a seat next to him. “How long have you been up?” “About thirty minutes ago?” Seb answered, stroking Alex’s dishevelled hair. “You were sleeping so peacefully so I didn’t want to wake you up.” “How about you? Were you able to sleep well?” “Mhm mhm,” Seb nodded. “Thanks to your hug I was able to sleep like a baby.” “You mean you shit your pants and cried all night?” “Hell no,” Seb laughed then got up. “You know what I mean.” “Yeah,” Alex smiled, glad Seb’s mood was better. “I should get up and get ready.” “Yeah you should do that,” Seb replied him. “I have some spare clothes you can change into.” “Alright.” He headed to the bathroom and after fe
BLUE Chapter Fourty-Three
"A quick check, we'll be going over to your dad's by 7, right?" "But before then, we've got the whole day to ourselves, baby," Seb spread his arms wide. "This is London! Let's tour this city to our hearts content!" After cuddling the whole previous night, it was only expected of Seb to wake up feeling extra giddy. The version of him reluctant to visit his dad had gone up into smoke, leaving a very ecstatic Seb behind. "I should be the one giving you a tour," Alex said as they stepped out of their room. "You're the foreigner here." "Oh, please," Seb dramatically said. "We don't know we're pretty much the same in that case. Throughout your nineteen years of living here, I'm pretty sure you visited only a handful of places here." "How dare you." "Or if you don't mind we could try counting all of them on my fingers," Seb stretched out his arm. "Oh my, I don't think I'll be needing an extra hand." "Shut up," Alex glared playfully at him. "Fine. But I better be blown away by the end o
