My prompt is that Kyle works as an army surgeon and he is one Alex is brought to when he gets injured.

***

Michael had forgotten about Alex inviting Kyle over Sunday afternoon. He’d forgotten about Alex’s fond smile and twinkling eyes when he’d told Kyle to have a late lunch with them on their one day off. Conveniently, he’d also forgotten all about waking Alex up from his much-needed afternoon nap when Kyle’s knock came at the door.

“Sorry,” he smiled, “Alex moved. See you never.”

He was about to shut the door in his face when Kyle caught the edge and pushed back. “Guerin, I swear, you can either go tell Alex I’m here, or I’ll scream until he hears me.”

Michael frowned. “Wow, Valenti. Alex has barely slept all week, he’s finally getting some rest, and you want me to go wake him up? I thought you cared about him.”

“You’re such a dick,” Kyle grumbled, shouldering his way in, knowing full well that he was probably one of the only two people in the world that Alex would never forgive Michael for kicking out. He still liked to believe the other guy never existed, but that was a whole other issue he didn’t have the mental space for right now. Not when Kyle was tossing his keys on the coffee table like he lived here, and heading into the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea.

“I mean it, Guerin,” he said easily, starting the water heater. “You either go wake him up, or I do.”

“Go wake him from the only sleep he’s had in days?” Michael scoffed. “Yeah, I’ll get right on that.”

Kyle gave him a deeply unimpressed look. “Taking long naps in the afternoon isn’t going to help him sleep at night. Besides, I need to check his leg, that’s the whole reason we set this up.”

Michael straightened, alert. “What’s wrong with his leg?”

He shrugged. “The pain’s been worse lately.”

“I haven’t noticed that,” Michael said before he could think better of it.

“What, Alex hiding his pain? Personally, I’m shocked.”

He clenched his jaw. “Alex would tell me.”

“C’mon, Guerin,” Kyle sighed. “You know what he’s like. He’ll deal with the pain by himself as long as he can. Nothing you or I can do about that. You should’ve seen the day he actually lost his leg.”

Michael, who’d been looking towards the corridor where his and his husband’s bedroom was, slowly turned to look at the doctor. “What?”

“Don’t get me wrong,” he said, oblivious to what he’d confessed to as he poured water over his teabag and stirred in some sugar. “I know he was in shock, but . . .” he tensed, his words only now catching up to him, and his shoulders fell with a sigh. He looked over his shoulder at Michael, his dark eyes apologetic. “Don’t tell him.”

Michael glanced at the corridor again. “You were there that day?”

“Keep your voice down!” he hissed, glancing towards the bedroom, too. “Look, Alex never knew, okay? I did a stint as an army surgeon for a while, and I got pretty good. Good enough to be the first to hear about a familiar name with a bullet in his leg.” He shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose as though trying to expel the memory. Michael, for the first time, was listening to him intently. “I jumped at the opportunity. Fought for it. Alex was unconscious the whole time I was in that room, I only know about his reaction . . . or his lack of it . . . because I hounded the nurses about it. I knew he’d . . .” he swallowed thickly, “I knew he’d have a rough time when he woke up. I wanted to stay right next to him, I swear, I wanted him to know he wasn’t alone, but . . .”

Michael nodded. If Alex had woken up and seen someone he’d known last as his bully, one of the first people to ever really break his heart, it would’ve made an already soul-crushing situation infinitely worse. Michael was in no mood to insult or mock, mostly because he would’ve given anything for Alex to have been happy to see Kyle there, to at least know he had a friend who actually cared at his side. And partly because he didn’t think he could claim he would’ve made Alex any happier being there himself. Not with the way they’d left things.

“Don’t tell him,” Kyle repeated, quieter this time, the plea evident in his voice. Michael just shook his head, the only reassurance he was willing to give, and Kyle hugged his mug with both hands, relieved.

Michael wanted to pretend he wasn’t telling Alex because he was jealous that Kyle had been there and he hadn’t, or that he couldn’t be bothered to care about Kyle’s secrets, but the truth was . . . he was grateful. He was so grateful that Kyle, at least, was there. That whether Alex knew it or not, he had had someone who cared enough to be there.

“M’gonna go wake him up,” he said. “You’re checking his leg before we eat.”

“Obviously,” Kyle said with a bit of impatience, whatever weird tension that had existed between them officially gone. Michael went down the hall and quietly opened their bedroom door to find Alex still dozing softly, wrapped around Michael’s pillow, unable to sleep without Michael’s sent surrounding him.

Despite the turmoil of emotion swirling in his chest, a soft smile tugged at Michael’s lips. He knelt on the edge of the bed, the one movement alone enough to make Alex’s eyes flutter.

“Mm mm?” was all Alex could manage.

Michael leaned down on his elbow beside him, brushing his hair back from his brow and pressing faint kisses from his warm temple down to his chin, sliding a hand up his spine as Alex melted deeper into the bed instead of waking properly.

“Kyle’s here, babe.”

“Hmm?”

“Kyle’s here.”

“Hmm.” He nodded, his cheek squished against the pillow. “I’ll get up, gimme a sec.”

Michael’s heart was about to burst out of his chest. The Alex he knew would be up and out of bed, ready for the day the very second his eyes opened. The fact that his husband felt safe and loved enough these days to enjoy his few moments of peace meant the world to Michael. It meant he was doing this husband thing right.

“Okay,” Michael laid down properly next to him. “I’ll wait with you then.”

              He smiled sleepily. “No, Michael, go wait with Kyle.”

              “Yeah,” he scoffed, “like that’ll happen.” Their smiles lasted all of a few minutes, then Michael asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about your leg hurting?”

              At this, Alex’s eyes opened a sliver, quietly studying Michael’s face. “Honestly?”

              Michael frowned, cupping Alex’s jaw. “Yeah, Private, honestly.”

              He shrugged a shoulder. “I didn’t notice. I’m so used to limping, to the exhaustion, to the migraines . . . I didn’t even realize the source of the pain was my leg until Kyle came over to Deep Sky yesterday. He took one look at me, told me to sit down for a minute, and then the next thing I knew, I . . . couldn’t stand back up.” His eyes shut, and a self-deprecating chuckle escaped him. “It’s scary sometimes, thinking that someday I . . . might not . . . be able to . . .”

              “Hey,” Michael cupped his jaw, “if that ever happened, I’d carry you everywhere on my back. I only care that you’re here, Alex.” He slid a hand to the nape of Alex’s neck. “And I know that’s all Valenti cares about.”

              Alex raised a brow, his smile small but returned. “Did you just compliment Kyle?”

              Michael made a disgusted noise in the back of his throat, but as Alex laughed, he couldn’t help but watch him and think of that day so many years ago now, when Alex had lain asleep in a hospital bed, not knowing that when he woke up, he’d find a part of himself gone forever. Not knowing that he’d had a friend to hold his hand and fight to make sure that he would make it out of that hospital room.

              Michael hadn’t been able to really hate Kyle for a long time. Now, knowing he’d saved his husband, he didn’t think he’d ever stop being thankful to him—

              “GUERIN!” Kyle’s muffled voice sounded from inside. “STOP MAULING HIS FACE AND LET HIM GET OUT OF BED SO I CAN CHECK ON HIS LEG ALREADY!”

              “Son of a bitch!” Michael sat up, glaring at the door. “Does he want me to kill him?!”

              “No one’s killing anybody,” Alex groaned as he sat up, already in better spirits with his cheeks pink and smile soft and amused and so, so loving. “I’m coming!” he called back, and suddenly hissed, doubling over his leg and automatically grabbing Michael’s shoulder in a vicelike grip.

              “Hey, hey,” Michael wrapped him in his arms and held on tight. “You’re okay, it’s okay.”

              “I-I know,” he managed through clenched teeth, his face pressed to Michael’s collarbone. ��Just . . . stay here for a second.”

              Again, the image of Alex alone in his hospital bed came to mind, and Michael tightened his hold on him. “I’m not going anywhere, Private. You’re not alone.”

I don't know if there's a fan of Roswell, not the reboot but the 1999 tv show version.

I have to ask: who was your crush in that tv show. I presume some people will say Max , I mean the guy was cute but call me crazy I remember I had a huge crush on Kyle Valenti 😂 .

[bekkachaos]

How about #18 and platonic Kylex for the prompts? ❤️

18. “This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had. Of course I’m in.”

Alex and Kyle had come a long way since high school. For a while Alex wanted to hold a grudge, hated the person Kyle had become when he realised that popularity was an option for him.

And he did hold onto that, for a while, at least until Jim Valenti died. At that point Alex had one of those moments where he realised that the world was bigger than his teenage anger, and people were more than who they thought they needed to be in high school.

The first few times they started to interact again after Alex got back from his last tour he definitely felt that decade-old bitterness rising in his throat, and it took a while before he was ready to part with it. Well, a while and a few alien mishaps.

But spending time together again, Alex had started to remember why they got along so well as kids outside the forced proximity. Now, they spent time together a couple of times a week, either with their alien counterparts or without.

On this particular day though, Kyle and Alex had set up their meeting weeks earlier, because it wasn't just a casual catch up. Alex was using his tech skills to help Kyle set up the perfect proposal, and Michael had been enlisted to keep Isobel away until everything was ready.

"Give me a few broken bones, some corroded arteries even, I can fix up a human body no problem but wires and metal and... programming, no thank you," he said as he watched Alex hook his hard drive into the computer at the drive in. They (Alex) had hooked up some old monitors around the lot, then connected to the main projector. When the sun was setting he would get all of Kyle's carefully curated film segments together to play in the right sequence, and on the right monitors. At least he would when the systems started talking to each other like they were supposed to. "Seriously, thank you Alex. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, I can just find a less technological way of doing this."

Alex snorted out a laugh, looking up at him with a raised brow.

“This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had," he grinned. "Of course I’m in.”

It was Kyle's turn to snort derisively, folding his arms over his chest as he looked down at Alex who had gone back to tinkering with the connection ports.

"I'm sorry this is the stupidest? This? Not the time we were kids and I thought it would be smart to have you lock me in that rusty old fridge in summer? Or when I thought hey, you know what would be a good idea? Open heart surgery, on an alien?"

Alex raised an eyebrow because clearly, the pressure was getting to him. "To be fair, the heart surgery wasn't your plan. And it was a success."

"And the fridge?" Kyle said with a huff.

"I've seen sweatier men than that."

"Don't elaborate."

"I mean," Alex said with a grin. "Relying on Michael to keep a secret all the while spending the day with Isobel. I'll figure this bit out eventually, but he's the real wildcard here."

"He's kept bigger secrets, don't you think?" Kyle said.

"Yeah but this is a secret that will eventually be coming out, so there's really no motive for him to keep it. Hand me that hard drive would you?"

"What, you think Michael's going to ruin it?" Kyle said as he grabbed the hard drive from the backpack and handed it to Alex.

"No, I gave him a stern talking to."

"A stern talking to or I'll give you a spanking if you're a bad boy?"

"Hey, don't question the method if it gives you the results you want," Alex grinned. "And that would hardly be a deterrent."

Kyle rolled his eyes and ran his hands over his face.

"I'm just saying," he said. "Thanks, for helping."

"I'm your friend Kyle, that's what friends do when one of them wants to do an elaborate proposal," he said, looking up at him with a grin. "Especially when you're the tech-guy friend."

He turned back to the computer, finally opening up the sequencing program so he could stage the timing and hook up the visual to the right monitors.

Kyle thought about those words for a moment. His teeth dug into his bottom lip as he thought about what they meant, everything they had been through. How Alex had always upheld his end, and Kyle had let his end fall apart.

"Sorry I wasn't a better one," he said softly, and Alex turned back to him with a curious gaze.

"If you're talking about things that happened almost fifteen years ago-"

"I know I've probably said it before," he said, cutting Alex off. "But I don't really think there's a statute of limitations on treating someone like crap and then asking them to help you propose to your girlfriend."

Alex exhaled slowly, looking back at Kyle with kind eyes and waiting for him to say what he needed to.

"I just mean that I'm sorry for everything that happened between us. I guess the last couple of years especially have made me see it but I thought about it a lot after high school. I mean those friendships were just hollow and I didn't realise until I left. Thought about you a lot in those 10 years."

"I didn't really think about you," Alex said with a shrug.

"Fair, and I get that."

"I mean," Alex said with a fond shake of his head. "At least not until your dad. And I know how much it hurt me to hear about what happened to him. So all I could think was how much you must be hurting. Even thought about calling but changed my mind straight away because all I could remember was who you were when I left. And then I got back from a war and, I just didn't have the energy to hold that anger, you know? Suddenly seemed kind of stupid, to still be affected by something from high school."

Kyle made a humming sound as Alex made a satisfied sigh as he turned back to look at him.

"Is this you telling me I'm stupid?" Kyle said, eyes narrowed but a smile playing on his mouth.

"No," Alex shrugged, looking up at him with a grin. "But if that's what you took out of it I'm not going to correct you. I think I've got this all set by the way. You sure you're ready?"

"Hey, you make it look easy," Kyle said. "And you married Michael."

They chucked together, followed by a moment of quiet until Alex got to his feet.

"For the record," he said, reaching out to put a hand on Kyle's shoulder. "What I meant when I said this was a stupid plan was that you don't have to go all out on the proposal, intimate and simple works just as well."

"You think I should find a secret alien dimension and use the phrases 'I'm dying' and 'marry me' in the same sentence?" he said with a raised brow.

Alex rolled his eyes and lightly smacked his shoulder.

"Could probably meet in the middle somewhere."

Luckily, Alex had finished with perfect timing. He messaged Michael to bring Isobel down, and by the time the truck was pulling up the sun was shedding a soft orange and pink glow over the horizon.

Alex watched Kyle exhale heavily as he heard the doors closing and gave him a nudge with his elbow.

"Too late to back down now," he said, and Kyle turned to him with soft eyes.

"Thanks Alex," he said, nodding to him with that nervous excitement brewing inside him. "Really, I mean it."

Alex rolled his eyes again and reached out to pull Kyle into a hug. They had probably done it in the years since they reconnected, but it felt like the first time, the start of a friendship fully renewed, leaving the stubbornness of their past behind them.

They broke apart when Isobel's voice called out somewhere across the lot, Alex reaching over to start the sequence for Kyle.

"Go on," he said. "Really no turning back now."

Kyle grinned, one last tap to Alex's shoulder as he ran towards his place.

As Alex watched him disappear between the old pallets and the screen, Michael slowly crept up beside him.

"That was adorable," he teased.

"Shut up," Alex said, leaning into him as they found a vantage point to watch.

They'd all come such a long way since seventeen, and in a weird way, Alex wouldn't change a thing.

I had an idea while doing the dishes and listening to the RWRB audiobook:

What if Michelle Valenti is Ann Evans’ opponent in the presidential race? That could mean a roll for Kyle. And maybe the Valentis were diplomats in Britain when he was a child/teenager and that was when he was a bully to Alex. And now the fact that his dad died and his mother is a republican that’s what turns him into a good guy.

I feel a little bad putting Michelle into the role of Richards, but I think it works.

You can find all the posts about this AU here.

[lostlabyrinths]

i didn't know who else to turn to. / kyle and guerin !!! / @ownmidnight

IF HIS HIGH SCHOOL SELF COULD SEE HIM NOW. it's a petty thought. pettier than guerin would have liked in that moment, but the picture of KYLE FUCKING VALENTI at HIS door, begging for HIS help meant hell must be frozen and opening some kind of evil ski resort. like squeezing water from a stone, michael guerin truly thought he'd never see the day. the problem, however, is that particular brand of satisfaction is short-lasting. so short, he doesn't even really get to enjoy it because now he gets it. gets the full picture: understands that alex wasn't just wrapped up in his work with his phone turned off. wasn't ignoring his texts because of some unspoken slight guerin had made. ALEX WAS MISSING. AND KYLE FUCKING VALENTI was the only guy who could help. karma was a beautiful, relentless bitch. he leaves the door open and walks back in the house. a dual purpose motion of not necessarily having to invite KYLE FUCKING VALENTI in to his and his boyfriend's sacred home, and sparring no time to get his keys and phone. maybe even a third satisfaction of not answering kyle's cry for help so immediately, despite giving it readily. " deep sky, yeah? " guerin could bypass all their multi-million dollar security with just the nod of his head, but he had to entertain the idea that this was not a bridge he could yet burn if alex was fine. ONLY because his boyfriend would be sad. all the other repercussions be damned. he had to control the anger simmering beneath his skin. too hot, and he'd get them into an even worse position than they'd started with. he throws the question over his shoulder, steps sure and confident in their motion to GET MOVING " when was the last time you heard from him? "

[pastelwitchling]

So since you're taking prompts I hope you don't mind me adding one

Overprotective Michael and Kyle

Maybe isobel and Alex have to do something and Michael and Kyle are both stressed for the same reason, their spouse and their sibling are doing something risky

@brittz-2123

***

“This is the dumbest plan in the history of dumb plans, and that’s saying something coming from me!”

“And yet, miraculously,” Kyle said through gritted teeth, his head ducked and his fists on the table, “your complaining about it hasn’t stopped anything.”

“I’m not complaining,” Michael snapped at him, “I’m venting my vehement disagreement to this crap plan.”

“You’ve been venting for the past two days, Michael,” Isobel said, irritated. “Get over yourself, we’re doing this.”

Michael rounded on Alex. “Why can’t I go instead?”

“We’ve already been over this, Guerin,” Alex said, the only one eternally calm in the face of Michael’s anger and fear. “Isobel’s the best empath of all of the three of you, and I’m the only one that knows how to break through their firewalls. She’ll get us in, I’ll do my thing, and we’ll both be out in no time.”

“Out in no time,” Michael repeated faintly, turning away.

“I hate to say this,” Kyle said, “I really, really do, but I agree with Guerin. You guys are walking into Project Shepherd’s last known headquarters. These guys are going to be pissed about Jesse and desperate to do their jobs right now that they’re all that’s left. That makes a very dangerous combination for an already very dangerous group of people.”

“No one’s more dangerous than me,” Alex said, typing away at his laptop in Michael’s bunker where he’d taken to working, and damn him for looking so unperturbed, with his sleeves pushed up to his elbows and his watch emphasizing his strong wrists and the slight purse of his lips that left heat in Michael’s gut.

“Stop being hot,” Michael cursed, pinching the bridge of his nose, “you’re distracting me.”

Alex smirked, but continued working. “You guys are adorable for worrying and all—”

Michael glared. “You think Valenti’s adorable?”

“—but you do know I’m an ex-Air Force captain, right? And Isobel has half the town on speed dial. Even without her powers, no one’s better with people than she is.”

Isobel looked stunned and pleased by his assessment, and Michael got it, really, he did. Alex never sugarcoated anything, he didn’t compliment you unless you were the best at something—made sense since his competence usually rose to unfairly attractive levels with anything he put his mind to—so it was hard not to preen under his praise.

Unfortunately for him, it was ineffective on Michael because, try as he might, Alex complimenting anyone else left an ugly little black monster in his chest that wanted to demand every inch of his husband’s attention. Besides, Isobel being good at dealing with people did not reassure her brother who was less eager to let her jump into the den of mindless soldiers. And it did absolutely nothing to reassure Michael that she could keep inquisitive eyes off Alex when they got inside, especially since every soldier in there had his husband as On Sight Priority #1.

“Alex, they will kill you if they even kind of suspect you,” he said. “Everyone in there blames you for what happened to Jesse, they know you spent a year hunting them down! How do you think they’re going to react when they see your face?!”

“They won’t see his face,” Isobel said, “not if I’m there to do my little mind-meld thing and divert their attention. Alex will be able to walk right past them without anyone noticing.”

“But what if they do?” Michael demanded of his husband, eyes fixed on the side of Alex’s face. “All it takes is one person, Alex. One person, and then I lose you, and I swear, if I lose you, I will bury this entire damn town underground!”

Michael tried to belittle the sentiment with jokes, a way to say that there was actually no telling what he would do if anyone ever even thought of taking Alex away from him, and Alex saw that in the way Michael’s entire body trembled, the way the ground shook and tools and projects fell off their shelves because Michael’s mind wouldn’t stop running.

Alex looked from him to Kyle, then at Isobel who shrugged with more than a little exasperation as though to say, I don’t know what else to tell these idiots. Finally, Alex’s shoulders straightened and he patted the chair beside him for Kyle to sit down. Then he closed his laptop, fixed Michael with a hard stare, then smiled softly and pushed away from the desk, his arms held out.

Michael swallowed the lump in his throat and walked over until he was standing between Alex’s legs, his arms wrapped around Alex’s shoulders. Alex hugged his waist, his ear pressed to Michael’s stomach for a long minute as he just breathed him in, and the feel of him, smell of him, steady cool weight of him eased the thrashing in Michael’s chest bit by bit.

“Do you think I could stand to be away from you?” he asked, his hands sliding around Michael’s waist and down to his hips. “Do you think I would let anyone take me away from you?” To Kyle, he asked, “Do you think Isobel would? The woman jumped into Max’s dying mind just to be with him in his final moments, you don’t think she’d fight like hell to get back to you?”

Isobel looked to Kyle with the softest expression Michael had ever seen on her; she really did love him, maybe as much as she loved Max and Michael, and Michael knew there was nothing Isobel wouldn’t do to be with her brothers, and Alex . . .

What hasn’t he done to keep Michael happy? What battle hasn’t he fought to be with him?

Michael’s lack of answer showed itself in his long, shaky exhale. He shut his eyes, sliding his hands into Alex’s hair and gripping the strands tightly with the effort of absorbing some of his strength.

It felt like hours before he’d finally forced the words out. “If . . . if you do this . . . you keep constant communication with us, right?”

“And we stay close by,” Kyle relented, looking like the words were costing him just as much.

Michael gripped Alex’s roots tighter, keeping their gazes together. “Very close by.”

“We hear anything we don’t like, and we’re busting in there.”

The words seemed threatening enough, but Michael didn’t miss the way Alex and Isobel glanced at each other, clearly saying, Aww aren’t these protective puppies so cute?!

Michael stuck his tongue in his cheek, and held Alex’s face in his hands, squishing his cheeks and forcing him to keep his eyes on him. “I will bring the building down before I let a single person touch you. Look me in the eye and tell me if you think I’m kidding.”

Alex didn’t need to search Michael’s eyes at all, his own filling with an undeniable comfort at Michael’s words. As steady as he always tried to be, Michael knew when he was secretly worried. And with Michael here to protect him, there was no reason for him to fear anything. He knew that.

“I know you’re not,” Alex whispered, and Isobel melted into Kyle’s embrace, sitting on his lap, just as relieved. “Why do you think I can be so brave?”

Michael softened infinitely, and pulled Alex in, kissing his crown. A few seconds later—

“I changed my mind again, you can’t go.”

Alex burst into laughter as Isobel scoffed and rolled her eyes, and he snuggled against Michael’s stomach. “It’s okay, baby. You guys will be very close by, remember?” He sighed deeply, smiling. “You’ll be there to save us.”

The clumsy Evans

Kyle Valenti x Evans!Reader

This is a fanfiction One-shot on Roswell but the 1999 version. I saw the reboot but I wasn't imprisoned. I like the original Kyle Valenti played by Nick Wechsler.

Y/N Evans was a walking disaster—at least, that was the running joke among her family and best friend, Maria. It wasn’t that she was inherently clumsy, but when Kyle Valenti was within a ten-foot radius, something always went wrong. She’d trip over her own feet, drop her books, or—worst of all—run away like a terrified rabbit. It wasn’t intentional, but it had been happening for weeks now, turning into an unintentional game of cat and mouse. And Kyle? He found it absolutely adorable.

Max and Isabel, her ever-teasing adoptive siblings, found endless entertainment in her plight.

“You know, for someone who harbors a secret about our literal alien existence, you really suck at keeping your crush on Valenti under wraps,” Isabel smirked as Y/N groaned, face planting into her arms at the Crashdown Café.

“It’s not my fault! My body betrays me every time I see him,” Y/N muttered.

Max chuckled, shaking his head. “You do realize running away from him at warp speed isn’t exactly subtle, right?”

Maria snorted, stirring her milkshake. “Oh, it’s definitely not subtle. The poor guy looks like he wants to chase after you every time. Kinda romantic, honestly.”

Y/N groaned again, sinking lower into her seat. “Kill me now.”

The game continued, playing out in the halls of Roswell High, in the town’s small shops, and even during community events. Kyle would spot her, offer a charming grin or a casual wave, and Y/N, like clockwork, would turn into a flustered mess and either bolt or knock something over in an attempt to escape. It was a miracle she hadn’t broken any bones yet.

Then came the day everything changed.

Y/N had just finished tutoring a student after school, stuffing her books back into her bag, when she felt a presence behind her. Before she could react, a strong but gentle hand wrapped around her wrist and tugged her into a dimly lit, abandoned supply closet. She barely had time to squeak before she was effectively trapped between Kyle Valenti and a wall of old textbooks and forgotten janitorial supplies.

Her heart threatened to burst from her chest as she blinked up at him, wide-eyed. “Kyle? W-What—?”

He grinned, leaning just a little closer. “Hi, Y/N.”

Oh no.

“W-Why are we in a closet?” she stammered, gripping the straps of her bag like a lifeline.

He tilted his head, amusement dancing in his blue eyes. “Because if I didn’t corner you, you were just gonna run away again, and I’d really like to talk to you without you disappearing on me.”

Y/N swallowed thickly, the heat of his proximity making her brain short-circuit. “T-Talk about what?”

Kyle studied her for a moment before he did something entirely unexpected. He kissed her.

It was soft, testing, but confident enough to make Y/N’s thoughts completely derail. She stiffened for all of two seconds before melting, her hands gripping his jacket to steady herself. When he pulled back, she gawked at him, floundering like a fish out of water.

“Did you—Did you just—?!”

Kyle smirked. “Yeah. I did.”

Y/N sputtered, her mouth running a mile a minute. “B-But you’re Kyle Valenti! You’re popular and cool and good at sports and I’m just—I mean, I’m me! I tutor kids! I trip over nothing! I just ran into a locker this morning! Is this some kind of prank? Because if it is, that would be really mean—”

Kyle chuckled, shaking his head as he leaned in again. “Y/N.”

She froze.

He smirked. “You’re adorable. And I like you. So, I’m asking you out.”

Y/N gawked, her brain lagging. “Like...on a date?”

“Yep.”

“With me?”

He laughed softly, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. “Yes, with you. But I kinda need an answer before I have to kiss you again to shut you up.”

Her face was practically on fire at this point. “Oh. Uh. Yes? I mean—yes! Yes, I’d like that.”

Kyle grinned triumphantly before stepping back and offering her his hand. She took it hesitantly, and they stepped out of the closet together. Kyle gave her a wave before heading off, leaving her alone in the hallway.

As soon as he was out of sight, Y/N let out an excited squeal, doing a small but enthusiastic happy dance.

“I’m going on a date with Kyle Valenti!” she whispered gleefully to herself.

A soft chuckle from behind her made her freeze. She turned her head slowly, only to see Kyle standing there, arms crossed, an amused grin on his face.

“Cute,” he muttered, shaking his head as he walked off. “I love her.”

Y/N? She did the only logical thing—she turned and sprinted in the opposite direction, face burning in embarrassment.

Kyle just laughed, hands in his pockets. The chase was officially over, but the fun? That was just beginning.

Pod Squad White House Trio gala planing

I have another scene from the Roswell, New Mexico Red, White and Royal Blue AU for you. It might be the last one for a bit though, I'm not entirely sure what scene to work on next. Feel free to suggest some. If you want to know more about this AU, check out all the previous posts about it here.

Read the full scene as well as the other ones here.

Michael is checking the finalized guest list when he sees a familiar name. "Who the fuck put Kyle Valenti on here?"

Isobell looks up from the streamer samples - what the fuck even are streamer samples? - and shrugs. "Obviously he's invited. It's a gala for young influential people in politics. He's the definition of that, just like we are." 

Michael makes an annoyed hmph sound. "He's republican." 

"His mother is a republican and he's been to every single one of these we've hosted." 

"Well, his mother wasn't running against yours then, was she?" 

Isabell sighs. "He's coming Michael, there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe the fact that Alex is coming as well can distract you from him." 

Michael checks the guest list again and is stoked to see Alex' name. How had he missed that on his first read? "What? Did you invite him?"

Isobell frowns. "I thought you did." 

Michael is about to answer when Max speaks up, he's been quiet so far, seemingly busy with drafting a press statement about the event. "I invited him. But Michael should have been the one to do it."

"Why?" Michael asks, defiantly.

"Because he's your friend. And he is also the definition of a young influential person. Also, you need more friends." 

"I have friends." Isobel laughs at that and Max gives him a pitting look. "What? I do. Maria. People from class." He actually has to think for a second. "And Dallas." 

"Tell us more about your friends from class, Michael. What are their names, what do you guys do together?" Isobell's voice is dripping with fake sweetness and sarcasm, so Michael flips her off in lieu of an answer. Which - now that he's thinking about it - might not be the best way to prove her wrong.
