Alone Is Good [open]

Nick crossed the floating gardens, feeling better now he had finished terrorising a few first years. He pulled off his t-shirt and lay down on the ground, closing his eyes and running a finger along the outline of the tattoos on his chest. He knew them off by heart. They were him, captured in ink. They were what all the girls wanted to see, and none of them could - unless the were very lucky, or unlucky, depending on how you saw it. He could imagine them all, him on top of a huge flight of stairs and them fighting each other just to get to him. They'd scream and bite and scratch and slap and trample to get to the top of the stairs. He'd push the winner back down once he was finished with her.

Alex casually walked through the gardens silently thinking of ideas for his big 17th birthday party. Everyone would be going...well, minus most of the sidekicks. It wasn't that he didn't like them. On the contrary he had made friends with one girl - Faith, and she was lovely. But most of them were nerds and if looks could kill...well. He sighed as he looked around for somewhere to sit. The sun was beating down on them, being so high up it happened a lot. His lips formed into a smile as he noticed a boy from the year above laying on the grass. Smiling wickedly Alex silently crept up on him and sat down right on the boys' stomach. "Morning!" he greeted loudly, suddenly noticing all the tattoos on his body. "They're nice," he said, not so loudly, as he traced one with a finger.

[Lol, sorry, couldn't resist.]

Nick jumped and scowled at the boy now sitting on him, touching his tattoos. "Thank you," he said coldly and sarcastically, giving the other boy the most piercing evils. As he looked at him, he noticed that the boy was attractive. Very good looking, in fact. Cute. He smiled lopsidedly and propped himself up on his elbows, making no request for the boy to get off him. It was quite funny actually.

Faith was walking through the gardens when she caught sight of Alex on some other boy, she gave a roll of her eyes as she muttered to herself. He was the school flirt, she didn't understand why it was so fun? How did he capture all this attention, he was cute, but how did he have so much charisma? Of course, Faith lacked many things such as looks and charisma, she walked over slowly as she held a piece of paper in her hand, "Hello," She spoke softly as she nodded to the boy before looking towards Alex, "A list of themes," She added, widening her dazzling smile as she slipped it into his hand, obviously talking about his party.

Alex bit his lip as he noticed he wasn't laying on the floor covered in bruises. Alex smiled back at the boy, the smile he had received was gorgeous. Very fitting for it's owner. Alex moved his legs so one was either side of the boy's hips and continued to trace the tattoos with his finger. "I'm Alex," he said finally, as if he really needed an introduction. But maybe this boy was new and didn't know about him yet. It was possibly, he had never seen him before in any case. Suddenly a piece of paper was thrust in his face, "Oh, thank you Faith," He said smiling at her, not removing his hands from the boy below him

"I see you have yet another fan," She smirked as she then let her eyes trail over to the boy, a small, innocent smirk didn't leave her lips as she then raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow and slipped her hands together as she stood neatly, watching them in amusement, "Like Alex said, Im Faith," She added, before pursing her lips and she pushed her hair back slightly before biting her lip, her electric blue eyes dodging around before she wondered wether to leave them to whatever business they were supposedly doing.

"Faith, Alex," he said, looking at them both from below his fringe. He already knew who Alex was, everyone knew that. "I'm Nick." Alex's fingers were tickling him a little, but he had enough self control to not move an inch. Faith was new, though, so she probably didn't know of his reputation among the girls. A new target, maybe?

"It's lovely to meet you Alex," Faith said simply as she sat down beside Alex, trying not to let her eyes wander over his body. Tattoo's were one of the things that Faith never understood, she didn't know why people got them, what would they do when they grew old? She didn't mind, some were rather beautiful and it was a way of expressing themselves a new way of art. She sat perched on her knees as she played with her hair that flowed beautiful over one of her shoulders, twirling a piece inbetween her well manicured fingers, trying not to look at them.

Alex slowly finished running his hands over Nick and placed them on his own legs. It made him feel a little un-balanced, but that couldn't be helped. He looked between Nick and Faith and shook his head smiling. Oh what excellent reputations people at this school had. Leaning forward he pressed his lips to Nick's ear and whispered, "Want us to switch places?" he asked meaning he and Faith. Sure the guy was very hot, but if he was straight there wouldn't be anything Alex could do.

Nick smiled at Alex's suggestion, but whispered back incredibly quietly, knowing Alex's power, "I can play with that mouse another time." He let his hands rest on Alex's hips as he lay back down properly, closing his eyes to stop the sun from blinding him. Yes, today would be a good day. He let himself slip into Alex's head and took a tiny bit of the power from him, bringing it back for himself. So now he'd have superhearing too.

Alex rolled his eyes at Nick and shook his head. He chewed on his bottom lip as Nicks hands found their way to his sides. 'If only they were lower' Alex thought cheekily as he closed his eyes letting the sun soak into his skin. Soon it became a little too hot so Alex slipped of his shirt to reveal his pale thin body underneath. For having so much sun he should be browner, but his skin didn't seem to work like that. Unlike Nick his body was unmarked by ink but he did have a few scars and scratches from his adventures. Nothing exceptionally noticeable though. He sighed as the sun continued to drench his back in heat, it was beautiful...just like the boy below him.

Nick took his hands away and sat up again, sliding out from underneath Alex a bit. "Your turn," he said suddenly, and pushed Alex over so now he was on his back on the grass, and Nick was sitting how he had been on top of him. He let his fingers run across Alex's chest, along all the almost invisible scars and the lines of where his ribs were under the skin. He looked nice, so white and pure and untouched, not like Nick's inked chest. Tattoos wouldn't suit Alex, he didn't think.

Alex gasped as he suddenly felt his back on the ground with Nick on top of him. He gulped as Nicks fingers traced his body, Alex blushed a little. It wasn't as though he looked back, just his body seems a lot more...boring, compared to Nick's. Alex's breathing became a little shaper as the boy's fingers tickled him. He looked up at Nick and smiled cheekily to hide some of his nervousness, "Like what you see?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"So what if I do?" he replied, smirking. He sat back and took his hands away, looking at Alex as a whole. Yes, he was very cute. In fact, he was surprised he hadn't noticed Alex this way before. Alex had a reputation quite similar to Nick's, really. He could have sworn someone told him Alex had a boyfriend, but if he was going along with this, Nick wasn't going to stop him. He wasn't doing anything wrong. He was just playing.

Alex pouted childishly at the loss of contact from Nick's hands. "No reason, just wondering," he said. He blushed a little as Nicks eyes traced over him. What was he looking for? He bit his lip and waited. Briefly thinking of Destin. There weren't exactly dating yet - but Alex knew he would be upset if he saw them. But did it matter? Destin had Sephy too, it wasn't like Alex was the only one the boy was after. 'Nevermind' he thought, Destin was with his family, he wasn't going to see anything.

He folded his arms. "What are you going to do next?" he asked, daring Alex to do something outrageous. He glanced over to Faith who was still sitting with them, but her presence didn't bother him at all. He would act just the same whether she was there or not. He tossed his head, flicking his fringe from his eyes and into a better place.

Alex raised his eyebrow again and using most of his body weight, sat up and pulled Nick very close to him, "You asked for it," he whispered smirking. Leaning further forward Alex pushed their lips together letting his hands cling onto Nicks trousers to stop himself falling backwards. Kissing Nick was unlike anything he's ever done. He tasted so...different. Not like Destin or anyone else. He smiled while kissing the other boy. He then realised Faith was there, she wouldn't tell Destin would she? No, or he would tell Edward.

Nick - not at all surprised - kissed back hard and put his arms around Alex, supporting his back. The boy was a good kisser and a real charmer; Nick's stomach had lurched slightly as he felt Alex grab his jeans. "You're one little manwh*re, aren't you?" he whispered so only Alex would hear, smiling. He meant it affectionately. He kissed him again, with more force this time.

Alex grinned as he pulled away from Nick slightly. "You love it," he said simply placing a trail of kisses down Nicks' exposed neck. "If I wasn't, you'd still be laying on your back bored out of your pretty little mind." Alex smiled and looked down at his hands euphemistically. "Your turn."

He smirked and placed his lips on Alex's neck, scraping his teeth across the skin. He was rougher than Alex, but he had said it was his turn to do what he wanted. He pushed Alex back down and kissed hungrily down his chest. His skin was soft and smooth, and he tasted strangely sweet. He was right - without this he would have been very bored indeed.

Alex bit hit lip hard to suppress a moan. He blushed slightly, this shouldn't feel so good. Breathing heavily he closed his eyes and just let everything happen. He adored the roughness against his skin. Alex arched his back a little as Nicks kisses ended up down his body. He let his fingers entangle themselves in Nicks hair, it was unbelievably soft.

He brought his lips back up to Alex's, but let his hands smoothly undo the boy's flies. He had one knee between Alex's legs, and one to the left of him, and both his hands were now on the ground just above Alex's shoulders, practically pinning him to the floor. He kissed him as though he hadn't done anything with anyone for years and years, though that most certainly wasn't true. He just had a very large appetite.

Alex smiled up at him as he felt Nicks hands wander to his trousers, he should stop him, they shouldn't be doing this, in view of everyone else. But he didn't want to stop, no matter what happened. There was no going back. Reaching up he kissed Nick on his lips letting his tongue slide between their mouths.

He slipped his tongue into Alex's mouth as Alex did the same to him. It was fine, there was no one there except Faith, and she could go if she wanted to. She didn't have to watch. Maybe she wanted to. Nick didn't care. He slid his hand down Alex's chest, down his flat stomach, letting it come to rest in Alex's boxers. "Go on," he whispered. "What are you going to do?"

Alex bit his lip looking down at Nick's hand. It was so close. Just the thin material in the way. Alex gulped as he looked back up at Nick, "You're the one on top, do what you like," he said putting his own hand on Nicks as he moved them both to the waistband of his boxers. He smiled, his eyes glinting. How far would Nick dare to go?
