Happy Christmas @bloggingbisexually ! This is for the @malexsanta exchange. I subbed in at the last second, so I hope it's still enjoyable for you 💕

Thank you so much to my beta @im-the-punk-who for your amazing help making this story better and for brainstorming with me so I didn't get in over my head. You're the best!

“Alex, wait up!”

Alex could hear Liz’s hurried footsteps behind him and all he really wanted to do was run so that she couldn’t catch up in her high heels, but even now he couldn’t bring himself to be that much of a dick to her. He slowed and turned around, clutching at his face.

She gasped. “You’re bleeding!”

“That’ll happen when someone punches you,” he replied dryly.

“I’m so sorry, Alex, I had no idea–” she cut short at the intensity of his glare.

“Let’s be honest with each other, Liz. You knew. You wanted to focus on how he acted around you and turn a blind eye to what he was doing with his buddies, but you knew.” Not even Alex could say Kyle was all bad—four years ago Kyle had been his best friend, after all. There was a different person in there and he had a feeling that was the one Liz saw the most.

“Alex, I…” she trailed off, tears welling in the corners of her eyes. Strangely enough, Alex knew what she was feeling; he’d gone through the same amalgamation of emotions before high school when Kyle decided he was more of a liability than a friend.

“I’d really just like to be alone right now,” he said, glad to have an out of this conversation.

“But you’re hurt,” she protested weakly.

He chuckled derisively. “I’ve had worse than a few punches from Kyle Valenti.”

Thank you so much ;;;

Z: Is there a story you’ve written that doesn’t seem to get much love?

i mean. going strictly by the numbers it's the poetry collection from last year's buddie poetry event, which makes sense because they were uh. mostly bad

but also there's a good omens fic i wrote after s2 dropped (someone with your eyes (hold me like a knife)) that i was really happy with but didn't ever get a lot of hits, probably because the fandom was insane at the time and there was so much new fic happening!

1. book you’ve reread the most times?

hmm technically the answer is h*rry p*tter but i am refusing to acknowledge that so probably red white and royal blue lmao it was a comfort read for a while!
