A Little Bit Stronger (Open)

Alex smiled as he looked at Chris and replied softly "I love you too, Chris."

Chris smiled softly at him. "So, uh, what now?" he asked, biting his lip.

"I'm not sure but i wanta be with you." Alex said softly as he bit his lip "I..." Alex stopped nervously.

Chris smiled softly at him. "You what?" he asked again. He wanted to be with Alex, too. So this was good.

"I'm sorry i was avoiding you, i was confused by feelings but i know now that i love you Chris, i have for a while." Alex said softly as he looked Chris in the eyes.

Chris smiled. "I love you, too, Alex. So much. I have for years," he replied.

Alex smiled "Wish we had both realised it sooner."

Chris chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, that would have been better."

Alex smiled before kissing Chris again.

Chris smiled and kissed him back, tangling his hands in Alex's hair. He still couldnt believe they were here. Together.

Alex smiled as he kissed Chris happily, he never thought he'd be here with Chris like this.

"This is amazing," Chris said when they pulled apart.

Alex nodded "I know." he said softly as he laced their fingers together.

Chris smiled. "Let's get to the hotel," he said, getting up.

Alex smiled and nodded as he grabbed his bag.

Chris grabbed his stuff and took Alex's hand, leading him outside.

Alex smiled as he followed Chris outside.

Chris walked over to the car, getting in the driver's seat and starting the car up, pulling out of the road when Alex got into the car and driving to the hotel. When he got there, he parked the car and got out, waiting for Alex so they could head inside.

Alex grabbed his bag and got out of the car.

Chris smiled and grabbed Alex's hand, walking inside the hotel. He checked them in before taking Alex's hand again and leading him to the elevator. He pressed the call button and waited for the elevator, squeezing Alex's hand gently. When the doors opened, he pulled Alex in and pressed the number of their floor. The doors opened again and he pulled Alex to their room, walking in and dropping his stuff before collapsing on the bed.

Alex followed Chris up to their room, smiling as he squeezed Chris's hand back softly. He dropped his bags as well and climbed into the bed next to Chris.

Chris wrapped his arms around Alex, holding him close, his hands gently rubbing Alex's chest as if to make sure he was really there, that this isn't all just a dream.

Alex curled close to Chris and asked softly. "This really happened right? I'm not dreaming, am i?"

Chris smiled softly. Alex always had a way of reading his mind, feeling the same way that he did. "This is really happening," he said softly, kissing Alex's cheek.

Alex smiled sleepily as he snuggled close. "Good."
