SCRAWNY - the wallows: first of all, this is my fav wallows song so good, secondly, this song just reminds me of season 1 Alex sm because for some reason his hair and weight was brought up a lot sjsjsjsj

Die For You - The Weeknd: honestly this song is so sweet and really gives me those Jess/Justin vibes :(

Wasted - Niall Horan: This song gives me those really in love vibes so immeadately Zalex because I feel as though they are right for each other (duh i mean...) But i just think high school isnt the right time for them

Too Young - Louis Tomlinson: This song really just hits hard thinking about Hannah and what she had said that most of them had no idea this would spiral and hurt Hannah that bad. I dont really like (like i mean there's certain things thats just super offputting shes likeable id just rather watch clay than hannah sjsjsjs) Hannah, but this song goes out to her <3

Ozone - Chase Atlantic: this is a classic season 1/2 Jess and Justin song but w/ heroine instead of xans ig

End Of the Day - One Direction: See... I rewatched the clannah moon scene and yes i admit it made me cry BUT i found so many Zalex paralells this song really does go out to the ones who fall in love on rooftops

Pacify Her - Melanie Martinez: There was a lot of jealousy from Alex and Justin, Bryce and Zach, Clay and anyone who breathed the same air as Hannah, and finally my person fav Zach and Charlie lots of jealousy i just like the song snd i think it fits all of these

Half Light - BANNERS: i love this song its my fav of all time i just rlly think this song fits a lot of dynamics and friendships like Justin and Bryce; justin really only got the good side of him

The Good Side - Troy Sivan: This goes out to Zalex, Jesstin, Clannah, Tony/Caleb, and Wonty yall each got some flaws but perfectly like complete each other THIS SONG WITH THESE SHIPS MAKES ME EMOTIONAL AND IM NOT TALKING ABT IT NO MORE

Friends - Ed Sheeran: lots of friendzoning *cough* zalex *cough* lots of acting like you like him and you claim you dont *zach* lots of you giving alex AND THE REST OF THE WORLD HINTS THAT YOU DO AND THEN YOU JUST DON'T IG??? im bitter.

When I Look At You - Miley Cyrus: Again, this song really just goes out to Zalex Jesstin and Clannah </3

Atlas - Shannon Saunders: "I get through all of this without a kiss" that one lyric could apply to a lot of relationships in this show such asssss Zalex, Justlex (i will die with Justlex), Clannah, Jannah(?)

Lets Talk About Feelings - Joywave: this song gives me the same feeling i have whenever at the end of every season every person who survived that season is like all together at one place it doesnt have anything to do with it its just the same feeling i personally have

Drunk - Ed Sheeran: Zach and this song are like the same entity- yall SOMEONE GET ROSS ON THE PHONE HIS VOICE WOULD BE SO GREAT FOR THIS SONG!!!

Fireproof - One Direction: "nobody saves me baby the way you do and no body knows you baby they i do" this song gives me the ppl who fall in love on the rooftop vibes no hut srsly this gives some good lyrics that could be heavily applied to Zalex and Jesstin and like Clustin

My Heart Goes Bum Bum Bum - Flatsound: this song. is literal art. Its so pretty fOR NO REASON?? anyways; this song again is more the feel of the song but its in a more general sense you could apply it to any aspect of the show and itd for the most part work i also just love da vibes

Summary: Justin is having a very hard day dealing with his addiction and immediately looks for Standall.

Note: *un-beta’d as usual. I might be trying to fill in this prompt list while Season 3 is going on… Maybe just for Justlex maybe other ships maybe other fandoms too. Short-ish like this or maybe a bit longer if I’m feeling more up to it. Just trying to get in the habit of it again. We’ll see.

Justin could’ve probably waited; he could’ve waited until they got home to his and Clay’s room - away from the prying eyes and inquiring, gossiping minds of the students of Liberty High. But then he wouldn’t have had Alex the way he needed him in that very moment.

So when he snuck out of class and dragged his feet over to Alex’ classroom, he dropped his bag, and waited to lock eyes with his, what, boyfriend? With the only guy that, at that time, could keep the itch away. To keep his hands from reaching for things that he shouldn’t have.

They did lock eyes, eventually - the confused with the sad, and Alex immediately raised his hand excusing himself to leave. That Alex would drop something so immediately to be with him surprised Justin, to some extent. Maybe it was the look on his face, who knew?

Alex walked his way to Justin, his limp noticeably making some real progress, and landed a couple of feet away. Justin kept his hands in his pockets, pressing his fingertips together in an attempt to keep himself from crossing some kind of line with Alex by stepping forward and closing the distance, penetrating some kind of wall that may or may not have existed between them.

“Is something wrong?”

The question hung between them so frequently and uncomfortably. His eyes scanned for signs on Justin. The boy’s wrinkled brows, the dark purple circles around his eyes, the deeply set shoulders, the movement of hands in pockets resembling that of restless hamsters or guinea pigs high on water and saw dust. Justin remained silent, knowing exactly what Alex could recognize in him. They renewed eye contact, Justin’s eyes looking a little more scared than moments ago - a little more wet, too. A mirror. “Justin?” It came out more quiet than he intended. Much more quiet than the slight, broken gasp that escaped Justin just after, anyway.

“It’s been a hard day,” Justin said, breaking contact with Alex’ eyes in favor of looking through them, willing Alex to understand. He did, of course. Alex also understood that he needed to wait. So he did. Of course. “I keep sniffing like something’s there,” Justin said quietly. “Most days I think about it just once or twice,” he continued, “but today, it’s like the smell follows me around.” Alex nodded. “I wanna scratch my face off.”

Ask me, Alex thought to himself. His brain yelling to the front of his own skull. Ask me for something. Anything.

“Um,” Justin began, “I… don’t know what to do, could you maybe….” And when Justin couldn’t continue, Alex’ shoulders slumped minutely, the need to help desperately trying to left them back up to show Justin that yes, he could be that person for him. A tear escaped Justin’s eye, giving him enough space to say anything else. To ask.

“I need a hug.”

The request came rather jarringly, Alex not knowing what to do and letting impulse take over. He limped his way the last few feet between them and wrapped his arms around the back of Justin’s neck, letting the boy rain on his shoulder.

“Thank you for coming to me,” he whispered, which triggered a whimper in Justin and a barely audible apology. “I want to help. I’ll help in any way I can.”
