                                                                ~John's POV~

After the the funeral, I had a few hours before I had to be at the train station, and I wanted to get something for Alex.

"Hey Mary, do you know a good store for like small gifts?"

"Yeah, there's one down the street."

"Thanks."

I walk into the shop and see a wall of keys and locks with names on them.

'The thing is, are both of our names on them?'

I spent 3 minutes checking the wall.

Alexander

'Okay, great. Now I gotta find my name.'

I spent another minute checking the wall.

John

'Great.'

I take the key with my name on it, and I look through the locks.

The first one I look at was

Alexander

I take it off the wall, and also grab 2 chains as I walk up and pay for the 4 items.

'I hope he likes this.'

I went back to the house, grabbed my stuff, told my family 'Goodbye' and left for the train station to go back.

12:34PM

I decided to text Alex, because the train station was boring, and pretty small. There was also nobody there.

John: Hey, are you there?

Sent 12:36PM

He didn't respond until 5 minutes later.

Alex: Yeah, I'm here, sorry, I just got out of class.

John: Can you call? I'm really bored in the train station.

Alex: Yeah.

Call from Alex

"Hey Alex."

"Hey."

"You doing okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. You?

**an// *warning*, fourth wall is gonna be broken soon, take cover**

"I'm doing fine, just bored."

"Um, John?"

"Yeah?"

"You know like 3 days ago when you spoke in front of campus?"

"Yeah?! What about it?"

"Someone recorded it, and put it online."

an// fourth wall gonna die in 3

"Pfft, I'm no Evan Hansen."

"I'm serious, quite a lot of people are sharing it."

"Gimme a second, lemme get my laptop."

I grab my laptop out of my bag, and check my social medias.

"You're right, oh god."

"Well, this is cool, I guess."

We continued talking, until the train arrived.

"I'll see you later, the train arrived."

"Alright, I can't wait to see you again."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

"Bye."

"Bye."

'I can't believe this is actually going viral all over the internet. Like I'm not Evan Hansen, thank you very much.'

12:52AM

The train slowly started coming to a stop, and the doors opened. 

I walked out, excited to see Alex again in around 15 minutes.

'It feels good to be back here again.'

I practically ran back to campus, and up the stairs.

Room 204, Third floor.

I open the door, a bit slower than normal.

"John!"

Alex ran over, and hugged me.

'It's good to be back.'

"I love you so much."

We fell into a slow, gentle kiss.

an// why am i writing this at the exact time it occurs like their time is 1:12am and right now while i'm writing this, it's 1:12am okay but damn honey

ALRIGHT BACK TO THE FANFIC

'I wish this moment could last for forever.' (an//  think, for forever ;) )

I finally broke off.

"One thing." (an// john talking)

"Yeah?"

I pull the lock and key out of my bag.

On the train ride, I put them on the chains.

I handed the lock to Alex.

"Th-thank you."

He put it around his neck, and I put the key around mine.

"Alright, I'm exhausted." (an// john talking maNINE m9)

"Yeah, I'm gonna go to bed."

"Good night."

"Good night."
