Costume Party (1/2)

"No."

"Please... "

"I said no. "

"Pretty please... "

"Are you deaf?  No. "

"OH PUH-LEASE! " this time the short Caribbean boy stood up looking at his freckled friend with frustration.

He was trying to get him to go to a party with him, but the green eyed always claimed to be no the 'partying type'. Alexander used to let him be every time that he denied an invitation, but this time it was different, it was a Halloween party in campus and nobody was going to miss it.

"Alex, I said no. " John looked at him bored. He really didn't want to go anywhere. Much less knowing that he was going to end up alone in the middle of it.

Cause he was one hundred percent sure that his friends Hercules and Lafayette were going to spend the whole night making out, or dancing, or drinking, or any of those things they usually do.

He also knew that Alexander was going to spend the whole night talking to the Schuyler sisters, specially with sweetest Eliza. That made him unnecessarily jealous.

Not like he would admit that, anyways. He knew Alex didn't like him. Not in that way. So he was trying to get himself in his lane.

"But John" He whined "It's going to be the biggest party of the whole semester" he sat by his side again, on the bed. "Besides-" He added, elbowing him "You may have some fun, if you know what I mean" He winked.

John laughed. Alex was kidding... Well, almost.

"Ain't it like, in three days? Why are you so desperate? " He giggled looking straight into the other boy's eyes.

Those dammed eyes.

"Because it's a costume party! And I you decide you want to go, then we could buy an amazing-ass costume for you. " He said excitedly. "I already got mine, though. "

"What is it? " Alex shook his head.

"Not telling. It's a surprise. " He smirked "but maybe you could find out if you just go with us. " He grabbed John by the shoulders and rocked him back and forth slightly "Please, Jacky?" He pouted.

That was not fair. The tanned little boy was being extremely adorable and John's common sense was blurrying. He simply could not say no to that face. But he also couldn't let him control his decisions.

"I'll think about it... " The green-eyed said finally. Alex frowned.

"That's not enough, John. Gimme a straight answer. " Alex insisted.

His hazel eyes were looking at him with expectation. They were so intense and full of energy. He looked like a pleading puppy. Fuck it.

"Alright." He sighed.

Alex jumped off the bed and started making a silly victory dance, making John giggle. The shorter boy smiled widely and grabbed his phone and dorm keys.

"Where are you going? " the curly-haired arched and eyebrow.

"Where are we going, you probably meant" Alex mocked.  "To buy your costume dummy, let's go!"

And so they left the dorm. Alex grabbing John's hand, not realizing that the freckled one was walking on air with that simple action.
