"J-John!" Alex yelled as he saw John get dropped off. The blonde boy smiled and ran up to the younger boy. "What's up my favourite person", he smiled and embraced the younger boy, kissing him on the cheek. "I-I-I cou-cou-couldn't brush m-my hair th-th-this morning. I-I-It was s-s-so hard! I-I'm v-v-v-very s-s-sorry I l-look u-u-ugly this m-m-morning" He said looking down a bit.

"Alex-" he grabbed Alexander's chin and lifted it up so he was staring at him. "You are never ugly. Ever. Do not ever think that you are. It's fine you couldn't do your hair. I sometimes can't do mine and thats fine. I'm just glad you woke up and tried. Would you like me to do your hair?" He said, spinning his own backpack around.

Alexander nodded excitedly. "P-P-Please!"

John laughed and grabbed his hand and pulled him away near the gardens. They both would always get to school much earlier than the normal student would. Just in case something like this happens, they would get time.

John sat Alex down on the step and slowly pulled off his bucket hat. "Here you go Lexi", he leaned forward and handed him his hat. Alex smiled and practically cuddled the hat.

John leaned down and grabbed his backpack, opening up the smaller pocket and grabbed a hairbrush. He always brought a hairbrush to school, he's quite familiar with Alexander's hair meltdowns so he always makes sure to keep one just in case he has one.

He pulled out Alexander's bow and softly untangled the hair with his fingers, making sure to undo every little intersection. Once that was done he brought up the brush and slowly started brushing. Using his hands, he would lift up every lock and slowly tame the mess that was his hair.

Once he was done he grabbed the bow and tied his hair back into a low ponytail. "Aaaaannnn-" he stopped what he was about to say. Soft little snores could be heard and instantly John knew what he had done. He leaned over and saw a beautiful sight. Alexander had fallen asleep, cradling the yellow hat like a baby. "Alexxxxx" he whispered softly. "You gotta wake up baby, we're at school"

He lightly shook Alex, who slowly woke up. His eyes fluttered open and he instantly clung to John. He looked like a newborn kitten. "W-wh-wha-", he said as he turned his head around like a security camera. "W-w-we at sch-sch-school?" He turned his head like a curious puppy. John nodded. "I did your hair then you fell asleep" he smiled at the smaller boy. "O-oh.." He looked down. "S-s-sorry" he looked up at him, smiling sheepishly. "You know it's alright Alex", John said returning a smile. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the time. "Did you eat breakfast this morning?"

The ginger boy shook his head. "N-n-no. L-l-l-last night pe-pe-peter a-ate the l-last box o-of fro-fro-froot loops!" He exclaimed dramatically, his face morphing as he spoke. John just shook his head and leaned once more into his bag. He pulled out a breakfast bar. Alexander's eyes lit up.

It was his favourite brand. He grinned and cheekily took it from him. "M-m-mine!" He laughed and pulled back the wrapping and chomped down. John smiled and opened his palm, beckoning him to put the rubbish into his hand. He followed suit and put the wrapping in his palm.

He soon finished, grinning and wiping away crumbs on his hands. "H-how many m-minutes?" He exclaimed, clicking in the backpack straps. "2. We should hurry. We have English first and I doubt she'll be happy with me if I get there late. Emphasize on the 'I' bud. She won't yell at you I promise." He noticed his boyfriend's discomfort and quickly commented on it.

"O-oh okay! Y-you be l-l-late I won't, I r-r-race you th-th-there" He grinned and ran away from John. John smirked and chased after the smaller boy.

It was easy to catch up to his smaller boyfriend who squeaked when John wrapped his fingertips under his backpack strap. "Gotcha!" He smiled and tugged him back, kissing his cheek. "N-no fair! I-I W-WIN!!" He yelled out, a few people staring at them. "Hey Alex shh" he quietly said as he noticed people were staring.
