“George,” Alexander whined, squirming slightly. “My eyes are going to roll out of my head if you keep taking like this. All I want to do is roll them at you again,” he huffed. “And you should stop shaving for a few days so I can see if I like kissing you when you are all scruffy. I may like it and then you wouldn’t have to shave,” he said matter of factly, he knew he liked George with a shaved face better than a beard

George returned his kiss, feeling nothing but love and happiness and his heart pounding against his chest. “You are awfully cute,” he murmured as he pulled away. “Got a big brain and a big heart for such a short man. I love every bit of it.”

Alexander awwed, leaning up to kiss him again, moving to kiss all over his face as he spoke softly back to him. “I love every bit of you too darling. I still don’t know why you fell in love with me but I have stopped questioning it because this is the best thing in my life. I love you so so much, my darling,” he cooed, cupping his face and kissing him softly again. “I especially love this soft side that gives me all these compliments,”

George smiled as he was kissed all over, returning the one placed on his lips. He nuzzled his face into the crook of Alexander’s neck afterwards. “I can’t help but to compliment you. You’re just so wonderful. Really, Lex, you are so, /so/ intelligent and hard working. Sometimes you don’t know when to give yourself a break, but you have your mind set in the right place. You are very attractive, don’t get me wrong, but I have loved every second of finding out who you are.”

Alexander smiled, wrapping his arms around George to cuddle in close to him, a slightly blush dusting his cheek. Having his intelligence and hard work praised was considered one of Alexanders highest forms of flattery he could receive. “Guess you could say I am your favourite student then, hey?” He teased, a slight smirk on his face. “But in all seriousness. Thank you George. For everything,”

“You are,” George mumbled. “Only one that always goes the extra mile, no matter what assignment it is. You hold yourself to a higher standard, and you should. You’re better than a lot of people that come and go from that room.” He pressed a sweet kiss to his jaw. “You’re welcome. You deserve to have all this hard work noticed and appreciated.”

“Guess I just expect a lot from myself,” he shrugged, pressing his face into George’s chest. “Although..” he laughed slightly, shaking his head. “If you ask John it’s just cause I have so many opinions and need to be heard no matter what,” he chuckled, rolling onto his back. “Hard work was the only way for me to get to where I am. I see no point in stopping that,”

George whined as Alex rolled over and Veticus got in between them. “Hey, hey, hey. I was happily cuddling with my boyfriend,” he said with a pout. He huffed and pet the dog as he spoke to Alexander. “Yeah… Anyway- Are you getting hungry at all? As soon as you want lunch we can go get some shirts on and find somewhere to eat.”

Alexander hummed, closing his eyes and folding his hand over his chest. “Mmm well now you can cuddle with your dog,” he mumbled, yawning slightly. “I’ll be sure to let you know but you can tell me when you are hungry too. Okay darling?”

George nodded slightly and sat up, stretching his arms above his head. “If you’re tired we can go take a nap and come back later. It’s hot out here and I don’t want you falling asleep and getting a sun burn.” He reached over and patted Alexander’s chest. “My beautiful boy.”

Alexander tipped his head slightly to look up at George, giving him a sleepy but loving smile at the little nickname. "I could go for a nap but I could go for some food too," he said, rubbing at his eyes. "Is there anything specific you wa t to eat?"

“Maybe try bringing up how he feels about gay people in a way that doesn’t out you? Especially if your safety may be at risk like George said,” he offered. “As much as it sucks and is nerve racking being in the closet- it is so much better to be safe especially if you know your dad won’t react well. Being kicked out and on your own at a young age is honestly the hardest thing and you don’t need that in your life as a teenager,” he mumbled, glancing up at George as he was speaking from personal experiences and it was one of the things he told George he didn’t like to talk about so he didn’t know.

Alexander leaned against George slightly, nodding. “It’s fine Philip. You can stay as long as you like. Veticus likes you probably just because he’s getting attention but he’s a big suck so,” he shrugged, smiling at him. “You look like you could be graduating soon.. have you thought about university and shi- stuff?” He said, trying to make conversation as he reached for his chips

Alexander shuddered slightly, shaking his head. “Please don’t call me ‘sir’ Philip. Alex or Alexander is fine,” he laughed, smirking over at George. “You are just getting old,” he teased, poking his side. “An old, dorky, cuddly bear. That’s all mine,” he teased, grinning at him before looking g up at Philip. “But lit would be a good major. He may not want to talk work right now but George is actually a professor. He’s changing jobs to NYU soon so he could maybe be some help..? At some point.. or you know. I graduate college soon so I could too I guess,”

Alexander rolled his eyes, leaning over to whisper to George. “Complimenting my brain is the easiest way into my pants Darling,” he mumbled, kissing his cheek and patting his chest before sitting up. Realization coming over him at who the boy was. “He didn’t run off, just wanted to let our dog, and we got talking,” He shrugged, smiling at the boy.

“Bye Philip!” Alexander called, watching them leave for a few moments before settling in beside George. “Hey Darling,” he said, smiling up at him, cupping his cheek and kissing his lips softly. “M sorry ‘bout your dad..” he mumbled, not wanting to dwell on a touchy topic but not wanting g to but completely brush it under the rug either

George returned his kiss sweetly, placing a hand over his. “There’s nothing you need to be sorry about,” he murmured. “You didn’t cause any of it and sure as hell don’t blame you for it.” He still didn’t mention what Alexander had said about being kicked out. He’d invaded his privacy once before and was afraid it’d be looked at as the same thing. “Plus, I’m here now. Perfectly healthy and happy with you.”

Alexander grinned up at George, snuggling closer to him. “Perfect in every way,” he mumbled, kissing his chest. “How do you think Philip is going to do?” He asked quietly after a few moments, looking up at him again. “I don’t hunk I have very good advice..”

George grinned at that and places a kiss to the top of Alexander’s head. “I think he’ll be fine, Lex,” he replied honestly. “I’m sure once he gets past that feeling of hatred towards himself he’ll be one hell of a man. Happened to me, right?” It had been a joke, that four worded question, but there was truth behind it. Granted George still didn’t like things about himself, but that’s how life goes.

“Mmm.. he should be fine.. I just hope other people aren’t rude to him.” He mumbled, nuzzling Ito George and closing his eyes. “Veticus.. hey buddy.. come cuddle with us,” he called, holding his arm up for the dog.

The dog picked its head up at the name and happily stood. He cuddled up under Alexander’s arm and licked at George’s face. Instead of yelling or getting onto him as usual, George laid there and let him. He turned his head towards Alex with a small pout playing on his lips. “How come my dog kisses me more than my boyfriend?”

Alexander watched the two, cuddling into both of them. He raised a brow at George not disciplining Veticus. “Oh shush,” he laughed, shaking his head. “Now I’m not kissing you. You have dog slobber all over your lips and baby, I’m not into that,” he teased.

George huffed and nudged the dog away from his face, wiping the slobber off od himself. “Hey, Babe,” he said softly, turning onto his side and draping an arm over Alexander. “I love you.” A grin slowly made its way to his face “y'know that? I love you so much.”

Alexander grinned up at him, kissing his jaw tenderly. "You know what George? I will never get tired of hearing you say that. And I love you," he said softly, moving up to connect their lips, kissing him tenderly as a hand came up to cup his cheek.

"I guess that is true," he mumbled, rubbing at his face nervously. "Where are we going,"

“What was that for?” Alexander asked, mouth agape.

“You know I don’t like wearing a shirt without the binder…”

“Well yeah but I figured it would be coming off soon..?”

“The shirt is not coming off until I feel like I’m ready.”

“I meant the poke.. what was that for? I know what your binder is for and that you undress yourself when comfortable,” he mumbled, turning away from him to roll his eyes

Oz brought his knees to his chest. “I only undressed to take off the binder… it was starting to hurt… and I only pinched you because I was not comfortable with your small comment… the day has been stressful and I’m not completely comfortable…”

Alexander nodded. “Okay..”

Oz leaned his head onto him and sighed. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize Oz, its fine,” he mumbled

“I wasn’t supposed to get mad..”

“It’s alright. I promise,” he mumbled

He curled up and picked at his cuticles. “Am I really a mess?”

“No Darling,” Alexander mumbled, kissing his cheek sweetly. “You aren’t a mess,”

Oz sighed and curled up

"You aren't. I promise,"

“I was the one who suggested it Emma. I am one hundred percent okay with it,” Georges confirmed

Pippa laughed and kissed him, “I love you,” she smiled.

Georges grinned at her. “I love you too,

“You’re so beautiful, and cute,” she smiled.

“Baby.. we are in France,” he grinned, leaning over to kiss her

“I know baby,” she smiled happily waiting until they could finally get off the plane.

Georges took her hand, happy to be speaking French with the officials as they went through the checks until they were out and waiting for their bags, holding tightly onto Pippa’s hand.

Pippa smiled and rubbed her face walking with him she was exhausted and not very talkative.

Georges grinned, pulling him to rest against him as they waited for their bags, he was way to excited to be exhausted. He stepped up, grabbing their bags as they showed up

“I don’t know American pie?” she shrugged.

“Sure,” he shrugged back, finishing his cake

“I love you gorgeous,” she grinned.

“Love you too Pippa,” he grinned back, standing up. “So.. movie date?”

“Yep,” Pippa smiled leaning forward to kiss him.

Georges hummed happily, kissing her gently. “I may actually have a better idea..”

“What idea?” she smiled happily.

Georges grinned, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. "Opal isn't here. We have the keys to the old house.. I was thinking we go use that big tub in the master bedroom.."

Original AU

“Good,” she teased cuddling in his arms.

Georges grinned, kissing the top of her head.

Pippa sighed happily snuggling into him.

“Oh Pippa, I meant to tell you earlier but with everything it slipped my mind.. my appointments with Dr E are changing.”

“Oh yeah? How are they changing?” She yawned cuddling.

Georges grinned, his arms tight around her. “They are going from every week to every other week and if they are still going good they will go to once a month until we leave for college then they will be once a month over the phone,” he explained. “But of course that can all change still,”

“I’m so proud of you,” she smiled nuzzling into him. “I love you.”

Georges grinned. "I love you too. Thank you for making me go talk to someone. It has really helped.."

“George,” Alexander whined, squirming slightly. “My eyes are going to roll out of my head if you keep taking like this. All I want to do is roll them at you again,” he huffed. “And you should stop shaving for a few days so I can see if I like kissing you when you are all scruffy. I may like it and then you wouldn’t have to shave,” he said matter of factly, he knew he liked George with a shaved face better than a beard

“Okay,” she whispered climbing into bed lying on her side.

Mark crawled in with her, tentatively wrapping his arms around her to hold her close. “Do you want to here about how I got my ass kicked in college?”

“Yeah, I always want to hear about you getting your ass kicked,” she teased.

Mark laughed, his chest rumbling. “Well I was only in college for a year before I was picked up last minute for the minor leagues but I accidentally slept with my roommates sister.. it went about as well as you would expect..”

“Somehow I sympathize with your roommate,” she joked tiredly.

Mark cursed himself, realizing it may not have been a good story to tell. “Yeah..”

Charlie laughed and curled into his side tiredly, “This is only a one-time thing okay? If Mags finds out even if it’s not anything more than friendship and comfort she will skin me alive,” Charlie sighed.

Mark nodded, wrapping an arm around her and cuddling close. "One time thing," he confirmed. "Although I don't really think Maggie is going to be around much longer,"

Surprise!

“Why are you frowning?” Emma yawned blinking up at him.

Carter shrugged, setting his cup back down so he would have a reason not to look at her. “Doesn’t matter. It’s not a big deal,”

“Talk to me,” Emma pleaded putting her hand on his cheek.

Carter shrugged again. “There is nothing to talk about,” he mumbled. “You and Gavin are living with Pippa and Georges. They are probably ecstatic to have you and it can do nothing but help them..”

“Well honestly Gavin isn’t helping like Georges and I thought he would, if anything he’s making her more depressed because she knows Daisy will never grow like him, and will never laugh or run or smile,” Emma took a deep breath.

“That’s not what you said earlier..” he mumbled, shaking his head. “Though it does make sense. I just can’t imagine how they are feeling especially Pippa,”

Carter nodded, rubbing at his face. "Well.." he started, then stopped, shaking his head.
