Could you do prompt 26 “I’m sorry.  I didn’t mean to.” with Reggie/Alex please? Thank you 😊😊

The garage is dark when Alex reaches the door, just like he expected it to be. Nobody else should be there anyway since it's basically the middle of the night, but Alex just had to get out of the house. Even when his parents are asleep it still feels so suffocating just being there knowing they hate him for who he is.

He's thinking he'll just spend the night on the couch and when he goes to school in the morning, no one will be the wiser. It'll be fine; one night won't hurt.

But when Alex opens the garage door, he finds the couch is already taken. Reggie's curled up on one side, shaking and mumbling in his sleep.

Alex approaches him carefully after he closes the garage door behind him as quietly as he can, and as he draws closer he begins to understand what Reggie's saying in his sleep.

"No, don't--" Reggie twitches a little as Alex kneels down next to the couch, watching him with worry growing in his chest. "I'm sorry, don't--"

"Reggie," Alex says, trying to wake him up. It's clear he's having a nightmare and Alex thinks it's probably better not to let him keep sleeping. "Reg, wake up."

"I didn't mean to!" Reggie shouts as he wakes with a start, surprising Alex so much that he's knocked back onto the floor. Reggie pants harshly as he comes to the realization that he's not alone in the garage, and he stares wide-eyed at Alex. "W-What are you doing here?"

"I, umm," Alex ducks his head sheepishly, "I just had to get out of the house."

"Oh," Reggie answers, nodding as he lets out a deep breath.

"Are you okay?" Alex asks as he picks himself up off the floor and slowly takes a seat next to Reggie on the couch.

"Just a bad dream," Reggie mumbles as he wraps his arms around his legs.

"Were your parents fighting again?" Alex asks softly. Reggie's mouth twists into a frown as he nods, avoiding Alex's eye. "Bad?"

"It's always bad," Reggie murmurs.

Alex carefully pulls on Reggie's arm until he lets go of his legs and lets Alex pull him into a hug. Reggie holds firm for a few seconds, but his shoulders inevitably start to shake and tears fill his eyes before he can try to stop it.

"It's okay," Alex whispers, holding Reggie tightly as he cries. "It's okay," he repeats, even though nothing about this is okay. Neither of them should have to endure what they do at home.

So try again 😀 #67 When One Stops The Kiss To Whisper “I’m Sorry, Are You Sure You-” And They Answer By Kissing Them More Alex/Reggie please 💖

Prompt me! Prompts filled. 

“Ugh, I really need to get this paper done tonight,” Alex complained, throwing his book onto the table. “But I really don’t wanna to do it.”

“Would it help if I sang ‘Do your paper’ like a little Christian choir boy?” Reggie asked, standing up and pressing his hands together in front of himself.

“What - no!” Alex scrunched up his face and shook his head.

“Are you sure?” Reggie took a deep breath and started singing.

“Shut up, that’s weird!”

Reggie kept singing, smiling widely at Alex as he warbled. 

“I’m serious, Reg, shut up.”

“Make me,” Reggie challenged, drawing himself up and getting ready to sing again. Alex jumped up and shoved him back against the wall, Reggie’s breath rushing out of him with the impact. He stared up at Alex in surprise, and Alex growled and dipped down to kiss him, pressing him against the wall so hard his shoulder blades hurt.

Alex’s fingers were digging into his arms, trapping him against the wall, and he shoved his leg between Reggie’s, and Reggie melted, let Alex hold him there as he kissed him fiercely. Alex tangled his fingers in Reggie’s hair, tugged his head back so he could bite at his lips, slide his tongue into his mouth.

Then Alex was retreating, eyes wide and fearful. “I’m sorry, are you sure you-”

Reggie tilted his hips, rubbed against him, pushed up to seal their mouths together again. Alex was still too stiff, holding himself separate, the gap between their bodies a yawning maw of emptiness.

He moaned, clutched at Alex’s arms, slid his hands down the firm muscles of his back, into the dip above his ass to pull him in even closer, and Alex gave in, shoved Reggie harder against the wall, his thigh thick and firm between his legs. 

He pulled at Reggie’s hair again, yanked his head back too hard and bit his throat, sucked a bruise into the pale skin. He didn’t care about the dull thud his skull made against the wall, the ache of the impact, as Alex reclaimed his mouth.

“Well, now I know how to get you going,” Reggie grinned cheekily, still trying to catch his breath. “That was so hot, I can’t wait to do it again.”

“You don’t have to annoy me into kissing you,” Alex sighed.

“But when have you ever kissed me like that?”

Alex leaned in again, nibbled his way up Reggie’s throat to his ear, his voice low and gravelly. “How will I stop myself when you look like this?” He was still so close, his eyes burning into Reggie’s, his thigh flexing between Reggie’s legs. Reggie gasped, clutching at his back, rolled his hips against Alex’s leg. He was not above begging.

“Please, please.”

Hi, I just found your fics on ao3 and I love them! So I wanted to ask for a prompt please. 😊 Alex/Reggie Angst prompt #13 “We never were just friends, and you know it.” “I know it, but you deserve someone better than me.” But with a Hapoy Ebd if possible. Thank you 💜💜

I totally loved this prompt, but I also just really love Alex/Reggie and love having an excuse to write more stuff for them. Thank you for this and I hope you like it <3

It had been a very long and stressful day for Reggie and it was barely even 8 AM. He never minded biking to school, usually enjoying the wind in his hair as he rode. Today, he wasn't getting any enjoyment out of it, too busy focusing on the insults his parents had chosen to throw around today. He was already halfway through his trek to school when rain began to beat down, which killed the last little bit of chance for him to be in a good mood. 

Taking a sharp left, the opposite direction from his school, Reggie decided to not even try to put up with anything today. Instead he drove towards the garage, knowing that at this point no one would be there, already heading to work or school. He could have some time alone with his thoughts, even if he knew that wouldn’t end too well.

Time alone he got, stashing his bike in the bushes beside the garage and ducking into the building. His home away from home. He let out a small sigh, quickly changing into one of the extra outfits he had stashed, drying his hair with one of the towels from the bathroom. 

He killed time by switching between writing down random lyrics, practicing a few of their songs on his bass or answering random math problems from his textbook. His thoughts spiraled despite his efforts, worsening his mood. It was on the sixth cycle of those tasks when the garage door flew open, Alex storming in. He slammed the door just as a bolt of lightning lit up the windows around them. 

He let out a sharp breath, startling at the slam of the door and then at the following clap of thunder. The fact that he now had an intimidating blonde drummer standing over him as well did not help the fear and panic rising in his chest. 

Alex opens his mouth but another loud clap of thunder keeps him from speaking, but it does jolt Reggie from his spot on the couch, snagging the blanket beside him as he bolts into the small bathroom in the back of the garage. 

“Reggie?” Alex’s voice is small through the door, meek compared to how pissed he had previously looked. “You okay?” Reggie doesn’t voice a reply, only whimpering as he pulls the blanket tight around himself. 

The bathroom door slowly opens, Alex coming in slowly and shutting the door behind him. He kneels in front of the shower that Reggie was currently cowering in. His face was completely void of any anger it previously held, replaced instead by a deep concern that almost scared Reggie more. 

Wordlessly, Alex drew the smaller boy into his arms, shifting around so that he was now on the shower floor, Reggie tucked safely against his chest. They sat there in the mostly-dark and mostly-silent bathroom, no words or lights needed. 

Every crack of thunder drew whimpers from Reggie’s mouth, which brought out hushed coos from Alex as he rubbed small circles into the bassists back through the blanket. After a while, the thunder seemed to get far enough away which put the boy at ease. 

“Thank you, ‘Lex.” Reggie mumbled, pulling his face away from where it had been tucked under Alex’s chin. “You’re a great friend.” 

“Of course.” The blonde offered him a kind smile, reaching a hand up to wipe at a few stray tears. “We were never just friends, and you know it.” 

Alex’s intent was to ease the tension, ignore the fluttering in his chest, but the ‘We’re best friends!’ died somewhere in his throat as his eyes caught Reggie’s, his fingers frozen where they laid splayed across his cheek. 

“I know it.” Reggie’s voice is tiny, just above a whisper. “But you deserve someone better than me.” He lets out a shaky breath, leaning into the hand on his cheek, as if he were trying to appreciate the contact before it was gone forever. 

“What?” Alex’s reply comes out sharp, causing Reggie to flinch slightly. “Fuck, I mean, what do you mean I deserve better than you?” He softens his voice, not wanting to send him back into a panic. 

“Means how it sounds.” Reggie shrugs, his gaze falling downward. “I’m not good enough for you, not good enough for any of you guys.” 

Alex can feel his heart practically shatter in his chest, thoughts racing through his mind. From Holy shit what does Reggie mean ‘I know it’ to Who could be better than Reggie? The bassist doesn’t seem to catch on to the influx of thoughts that Alex had been hit with, taking his silence to heart. 

“See? You can’t even say anything, maybe they’re right.” Reggie gave a bitter laugh, attempting to shuffle off of Alex’s lap. At his movements, Alex’s brain finally caught up on the moment and he pulled the boy back into him, tucking him tightly back against his chest. 

“That’s not it at all! I don’t know who told you that you’re not good enough, I didn’t say anything because I’m trying to figure that out. Reg, you’re the sweetest and best person I know.” Alex’s eyebrows were crinkled in concern, moving to cup his friend's face again. “You’re more than good enough, sometimes it feels like you’re too good for us, like you should be with better friends.” 

This time, it was Reggie’s turn to be confused and concerned. 

“Better friends? Alex, you guys are the best! All I do is drag you guys down.” Reggie shifted, moving his hand up to cup Alex’s cheek, mirroring his stance. 

“Drag us down? I know I give you shit sometimes, but you could never drag us down.” 

“You don’t have to lie to make me feel better, I know how annoying I can be. I can’t even handle thunderstorms without crying.” Reggie’s bitter laugh gave a slight echo through the small shower walls. 

“I’m not lying, Reg. Sure, you can be annoying sometimes, but so can Luke and Bobby. Being annoying is basically a human quality. You can’t beat yourself up for how you react to storms, or anything else, it’s not like you want to be scared of them.”

“You say this like it’s the easiest thing ever.” Reggie felt tears well up in his eyes again, sniffling as he brushed his thumb against Alex’s cheek. 

“That’s because it is the easiest thing ever.” Alex gave him a sweet smile, gently wiping at the tears. “Talking to you, giving you advice, giving you shit, they’re all the easiest things ever.” He gave a laugh, nudging his nose against Reggie’s with his joke. “Loving you, Reg? Easy as breathing.” 

Reggie felt his breath catch in his throat, emerald eyes meeting crystal blue. He searched those eyes, looking for any sliver of doubt, any trace of a lie or ingenuity. Coming up empty, this throat easing and allowing his breath to escape. 

Surging forward and capturing Alex’s lips in his was an easy choice, his eyes fluttering shut was just an extension of that. The kiss was awkward and messy, teeth clacking together, tasting salty from Reggie’s tears, but neither boy minded. 

Reggie pulled away, taking in a sharp breath, but he was quickly chased by Alex, his lips reclaimed in a softer, gentler kiss. This one was less teeth and more just their lips moving in tandem. The salty taste was still there, though neither of them really minded it. 

They stayed in the bathroom for who knows how long, swapping smiles and kisses, so few words spoken. 

Until obviously, someone had to break the spell. 

“Wait.” Reggie pulled away, eyes narrowing at the other boy. “Easy as breathing? Alex, you have fucking asthma.” 

“Listen, I never said I was good with words, okay?” 

“Yeah, that’s why you retook Sophomore literature your Junior year.”

“Bold words coming from someone who had to be carried through Freshman history.” 

“Carried you say? Who did your math homework last week?” 

“Hey! You offered!” 

They continued on with their half-assed argument, teasing each other back and forth, it was their usual game. This time, the rules had changed and they were occasionally swapping little kisses, hesitant touches and heartfelt glances. 

Maybe today wasn’t as stressful as it had started out, but the storm wasn’t gone. Not with the lightning behind Alex’s eyes, the electricity in their touches and the thunder in Reggie’s heart, but he thinks he can live with this storm.

Please do a Alex/Reggie one with this prompt “No one’s kissed me like that in a long time.” Thank you 😘😘

Reggie misses kissing. Back in 1995 his bandmates used to make fun of him a little because he was always getting caught kissing a different girl. He never had an actual girlfriend, so he didn't really see what was wrong with having a variety of experiences with kissing.

But now that he's a ghost, his pool of willing participants has definitely dried up.

Luke spends the bulk of his time with Julie, so he's not around to hear Reggie's woes about not being able to kiss anybody. This means that Alex has to bear the brunt of the whining, which is something he's not exactly happy about.

Probably because Reggie still only talks about kissing girls, when Alex is the one who's been dreaming about kissing Reggie since he first realized he was gay. He thought maybe dying would make his dumb little crush go away, but now that Reggie won't stop talking about kissing, he's realized that it's only gotten worse.

"Stop!" he shouts suddenly, one afternoon when Reggie's launched into another I miss kissing tirade. Reggie immediately cuts off and stares at Alex with wide eyes. "Just… stop."

"I…" Reggie swallows and gives Alex a nervous look. "Sorry?"

"I just can't listen to you talk about kissing anymore, okay?" Alex shifts uncomfortably. "I just can't, okay?"

"Sorry," Reggie repeats, looking ashamed. "I didn't know it made you angry."

"I'm not--" Alex takes a deep breath. He is a little angry, but it's more frustration than anything else. He's not angry at Reggie specifically, or so he thinks. "It's just, like, I never got to kiss anyone, okay? So I don't need to hear you going on and on about how great it is."

"You--" Reggie blinks. "What do you mean, you never kissed anyone? Nobody?! Never?!"

"Who exactly would I have been kissing?" Alex asks flatly.

"Not even a girl? Just like, the once?"

"No." Alex shakes his head. "Not even once."

"Did you want to?"

"What, kiss a girl?" Alex scoffs. "No, Reginald."

"No, I meant, was there someone you wanted to kiss?"

Alex's face turns pink. "No," he lies. It's the wrong answer, because Reggie immediately knows he means the exact opposite.

"Who was it?" Reggie asks, his eyes wide and his mouth half open. "Was it Luke? Was it Bobby??"

"No!" Alex groans and covers his face. "Can we not talk about this?"

"But if it wasn't Luke, and it wasn't Bobby…" Alex continues groaning as Reggie works it out in his head. When Alex peeks out between his fingers, Reggie's looking at him with a smile.

"Don't look at me like that," Alex says, his voice muffled by his hands.

"You wanted to kiss me, didn't you?" he says, far too smugly for Alex's liking.

"Nope," Alex says as he turns around and presses his face into the couch. "We're not having this conversation."

"What?! Why??" Reggie clambers across the couch and practically climbs on top of Alex. "Do you not wanna kiss me anymore?"

"Stop it!" Alex says, swatting at Reggie's arms as he tries to pull Alex out of hiding. "Stop acting like you wanna kiss me, you don't even like guys!"

"I don't have to like guys," Reggie says with a huff. "I like you, Alex."

Alex stops fighting and carefully looks up at Reggie, who's looking down at him with a soft smile. The smugness is gone, replaced with concern and a genuine look of love. It crushes Alex's heart, just a little bit.

"Don't say that," he whispers, "if you don't mean it."

Reggie snorts a little under his breath, and leans down so their faces are inches apart. "Why do you think I've been talking about kissing so much?"

"I don't--" Reggie cuts him off and presses their mouths together. The kiss doesn't last more than a few seconds before Reggie pulls back, but Alex doesn't let him get very far.

Next thing they both know, Alex has Reggie on his back on the couch and he's being kissed within an inch of his life. Alex hardly knows what came over him, but the look on Reggie's face when he pulls back is worth every second of it.

"Wow," he whispers as he licks his lips. "No one's kissed me like that in a long time."

"Really?" Alex whispers back breathlessly, his cheeks turning even pinker. Reggie grins at him and curls his hand at the back of Alex's neck.

"Really," he whispers just before pulling Alex back in for more.

Hey there, can I ask for a physical affection prompt please? #15 the biggest, warmest hugs Alex/Reggie

Thank you 😘

once again sorry for the delay!

-x-

Reggie decided to forego wearing his signature leather jacket tonight, and he's really starting to regret it. He didn't know it was going to be cold tonight (by LA standards, anyway) and he's actually starting to shiver, which is super embarrassing.

He glances over at Alex, who looks nice and warm in his cozy hoodie. Reggie frowns and wraps his arms around himself, wishing his flannel was just a little bit thicker. Alex turns his head and notices Reggie shivering and tries not to laugh.

"Are you okay?"

"No!" Reggie whines. He looks ahead to the front of the line outside the venue. "When are they going to let us in? It's gotta be close to doors, right?"

"Uhh…" Alex checks his watch and whistles, "we've got another fifteen minutes, at least."

Reggie groans loudly and Alex snorts. He'd told Reggie to bring his jacket, so he could absolutely say I told you so if he wanted to.

"Warm me up," Reggie says as he suddenly presses himself against Alex. He stumbles back a step, almost connecting with the wall behind him, and stares down at where Reggie's curled himself against his chest.

"I… what?" Alex gingerly puts his arms around Reggie and laughs nervously. "Okay?"

"That's better," Reggie says happily as he hums to himself, content to snuggle Alex until they get to go into the venue. "You give the biggest, warmest hugs," he mumbles.

Alex flushes a little. "Thank you?"

"Don't let go," Reggie says as he hooks his arms around Alex's torso. Alex swallows hard and lets out another nervous laugh, but he doesn't let go.

"Okay," he whispers. "I won't let go."

Can you please do Alex/Reggie with this prompt “Ssh. Stop fussing. I’m just braiding your hair.”? Thank you 😊

this is cute and dumb, just the way i like them!

-x-

Alex didn't mean to fall asleep. He'd laid down on the couch just for a few minutes, he'd just wanted a quick rest before band practice. Somewhere along the way he must've fallen asleep, because he wakes up with a start when he feels someone's hands tugging at his hair.

"What--"

"Shh, stop fussing," Reggie whispers as he gently presses Alex's shoulder, making him lie back down. "I'm just braiding your hair."

"Why?" Alex asks, tilting his head up. Reggie smacks his shoulder this time and Alex immediately tilts his head back down.

"Don't mess it up!" Reggie says with a huff. "It looks nice."

"Okay," Alex mumbles. He can't deny it, Reggie's fingers carding through his hair feels really nice. His eyes eventually close again and he drifts off back to sleep.

The next time he wakes up, it's to hushed laughter and furious whispering.

"Stop laughing!" Reggie hisses. "He's sleeping!"

"He's gonna kill you when he wakes up," Luke chortles. "What did you do to his hair?"

"I braided it," Reggie says with a sad sigh. "I'm not good at it yet, I was practicing!"

"It looks--"

"Shut up," Alex says as he shifts around on the couch, catching both Luke and Reggie off guard. "Or he'll do it to you next."

It’s me again 😊 Alex/Reggie please with the prompt kissing someone’s cuts/bruises/scratches. 🥰😘

It was never meant to become a thing. It all started one day when Alex accidentally caught his finger in a door. Luckily he didn't dislocate anything, he didn't even break the skin. But it hurt like hell, and Reggie wanted to make him feel better, so he kissed Alex's finger.

"Did you just…" Alex stares at him quizzically and Reggie blushes a little.

"Sorry," he says, avoiding looking Alex in the eye. "I thought it might help."

"It, umm, it did," he admits, because surprisingly his finger does feel a little better. Reggie smiles happily and they continue on with their day like nothing weird happened.

And maybe it wasn't all that weird to begin with. But then it kept happening every time Alex would accidentally hurt himself. He's not altogether accident prone, but he does have a nasty habit of misjudging doorways.

But every time Reggie's nearby when Alex hurts himself, he always comes over to kiss it better. Even if other people are around, he still does it. Luke's witnessed it a few times now and while he thinks it's super weird, he doesn't comment on it.

It probably would've kept happening without any issues if Alex hadn't come to practice one day with a small cut above his upper lip. He nicked it earlier that morning while shaving, but he hadn't thought anything of it after it stopped bleeding.

But when Reggie sees it, he reacts without even thinking about it. He goes to kiss it better, which sends Alex reeling.

"Dude, what?" he leans back and out of reach of Reggie's lips before he can make contact.

"I…" Reggie blinks and his cheeks turn bright red as he realizes what he was about to do. "I just--"

Alex swallows hard. "You don't have to--"

"I know," Reggie says quickly. "I know that."

"Okay."

"Okay."

An awkward silence follows, neither knowing what to say. Neither Luke nor Bobby have showed up for practice yet, and Alex counts that as a blessing. At least nobody else had to witness what almost just happened.

But it sticks in Alex's head. Reggie was ready to kiss him. It would've almost been a real kiss, too, if Alex hadn't stopped it. Maybe he shouldn't have said anything and just let Reggie kiss him. Maybe things wouldn't have been so awkward if he'd just let it happen.

Alex makes the decision to corner Reggie after practice, catching him before he can run off. He anxiously waits for Luke and Bobby to leave, preferring not to have an audience in case this all turns sour.

"What is it?" Reggie asks, looking mildly worried.

"I just…" Alex sighs sharply as the garage door closes behind Bobby, and he looks at Reggie. "I wanted to apologize for before."

Reggie's cheeks turn pink again. "I didn't--"

"No, it's okay," Alex says before Reggie can get his words out. "You can kiss me, if you want. I won't stop you this time."

"You won't?"

"No," Alex promises.

Reggie swallows as his eyes drop down to Alex's mouth. He carefully puts his hands on either side of Alex's face and leans in, his eyes darting up to Alex's before he gently touches his mouth to the small cut above Alex's upper lip.

Before Reggie can fully pull away, Alex turns his head just enough to catch Reggie's mouth with his own in a proper kiss. Reggie stills for a moment before he kisses Alex back, groaning softly into the kiss. Alex puts his hands on Reggie's waist and holds him close, suddenly grateful that their weird and ridiculous habit led to this.

Hey there, have a prompt request. Would be awesome if you could write it. Alex/Reggie „Be gentle with me.” Thank you 💜💜

Alex fracturing his wrist is the single worst thing that's ever happened to him. It was Luke's fault, like most things usually are when it comes to one of them getting hurt, and it means that Alex can't play the drums for weeks.

"I hate you," Alex grumbles as he sits on the couch, glaring at Luke while the other guys work on tuning their guitars.

"I said I was sorry!" Luke says for the hundredth time.

"You should be," Alex replies angrily. "Because this?" He holds up his injured wrist, bound in an uncomfortable brace. "It sucks."

"Maybe we shouldn't have practice today," Reggie says, frowning at the two of them.

"I said it was a bad idea," Bobby mutters under his breath.

"So, what, we're just not going to have practice until Alex's wrist is better?" Luke asks with a huff.

"I just--" Reggie starts, but he stops short when Alex suddenly gets up from the couch, wincing when he puts too much pressure on his wrist. "Alex!"

"I'll just go," Alex says, "it's not like I can do anything anyway."

He makes it halfway down the driveway before Reggie catches up with him.

"Alex, wait!"

Reggie reaches for his arm, accidentally going for his bad wrist. Alex yelps as he turns around, clutching his wrist against his chest as Reggie stares at him wide-eyed.

"I'm sorry! I didn't--"

"I know," Alex says stiffly. "Just… be gentle with me, okay?"

Reggie frowns again. "I'm sorry," he repeats, looking absolutely miserable. "Don't go, okay?"

"I--" Alex sighs. "I hate not being able to play. Sitting in there while you guys play is just…" he sighs again, "...insult to injury. Literally."

Reggie snorts, covering it up with a cough when Alex glares at him. "Okay, then let's go somewhere else."

"But… what about practice?" Alex asks. "Luke--"

"Don't worry about Luke," Reggie says, waving blindly towards the garage before he takes Alex's non-injured hand in his own. "You're the one to worry about."

Alex raises his eyebrow. "Really?"

"I…" Reggie huffs. "That didn't come out right. But you know what I mean, right?"

"Yeah," Alex says as he looks down at their joined hands. "I think I do."

Hi, could you please write Alex/Reggie prompt Fluff #34? Thank you 💜

YES I ABSOLUTELY CAN what a perfect prompt for them

-x-

"Hey Luke," Reggie says as he strolls in through the garage door, tossing his backpack aside as he heads straight for Alex's drum kit. He pulls Alex into a hello kiss before Alex can say a word, ignoring the comments from the peanut gallery on the other side of the garage.

"Get a room!" Luke hollers.

"H-Hi," Alex stutters a little after Reggie's pulled away. He can feel the blush in his cheeks as he looks up at Reggie, who's smiling down at him.

"Hi," Reggie replies. "Missed you."

"It's been, like, an hour," Alex says sheepishly, ducking his head. It's then that he notices that Reggie isn't wearing his usual leather jacket. "You… why are you wearing my sweater?"

Reggie looks down at the pink Champion hoodie, shrugging a little as he stuff his hands into the front pocket. "Because it smells like you."

Alex's cheeks betray his feelings before his mouth can, but it doesn't even matter. He tugs on the hoodie and pulls Reggie back down for another kiss. Luke starts whistling loudly, causing only further embarrassment when Alex and Reggie finally break apart.

"Shut up," Alex tells him, threatening to throw one of his drumsticks at Luke.

"I mean, if you guys are gonna cancel practice so you can make out, the least you can do is tell me before I actually get here." Luke smirks at the pair of them and Reggie snickers.

"He's got a point," he says, mostly to Alex.

"Don't tell him that," Alex replies, "don't feed his ego." He pulls Reggie down onto his lap, looping his arms around Reggie's waist as he looks back over at Luke. "Besides, we're still missing Bobby so we can't start practicing yet anyway."

"Ugh, fine!" Luke groans as he picks himself up off the couch and heads for the door. "I'm gonna go keep an eye out for him, you two… have fun." He pauses, turning around before he leaves, "use protection!"

This time Alex does actually throw one of his drumsticks at Luke, but he slips through the door before it can hit him. Alex sighs, pressing his head against Reggie's arm until Reggie shifts around in his lap, turning to face him.

"It's nice that he cares," Reggie says as he brushes Alex's hair out of his eyes.

"He's like a mom trying to be cool about her kid's boyfriend," Alex says, snorting a little. "It's weird."

"I think it's nice." Reggie curls his hand around the nape of Alex's neck and taps his fingers lightly against Alex's skin. "Plus, he did leave us alone."

"He did," Alex says, his voice going soft and low. He slips one hand under the hem of the hoodie Reggie's wearing, smiling when Reggie shakes a little under his touch. "You should do this more often."

"What?" Reggie asks, clearing his throat when the word comes out higher-pitched than he meant it to.

"Wear my clothes," Alex says as Reggie presses their foreheads together. "I like it."

"I absolutely will," Reggie says, nodding and making Alex laugh before they start kissing again.

Asking for a petty prompt this time Alex/Reggie 😊 “You don’t really think I’m getting annoying, do you?”

Thank you 😘

idk what to say about this one so i’m just gonna leave it here lol

-x-

Luke shouts in frustration and storms out of the garage, slamming the door behind him. Reggie turns around and looks at Alex, who immediately wants to turn away and hide.

"You don't really think I'm getting annoying, do you?" Reggie asks.

"Uh…" Alex falters as Reggie's wide, innocent eyes somehow get even bigger. "I…"

"You do!" Reggie says. "You think I'm annoying too!"

"No! I don't!"

"Yes, you do." Reggie crosses his arms and sniffles. "You just paused because you didn't want to say it to my face like Luke did."

"No, Reg, that's not--" Alex groans, glaring at the door as if it were Luke. "Luke didn't mean it either."

"Yes, he did."

"No, he didn't, he's just…" Alex sighs. "He's just Luke. I think Luke is annoying sometimes, don't you?"

Reggie shrugs.

"And I'm sure I'm annoying sometimes, too! Right?"

Reggie glances at him and shrugs again.

"Reg--" Alex sighs. "You're not annoying. Not 100% of the time, anyway. If you were, I'd tell you."

"Really?" Reggie's bottom lip wobbles and Alex sighs.

"Dude, please don't cry. If you cry then I'll cry and I can't--" Alex's voice breaks and he tries to clear his throat.

"I'm sorry!" Reggie says as he quickly wipes his eyes. "I'm not crying."

"Good." Alex sniffs loudly and clears his throat again. "Glad that's settled."

"Me too." Reggie scuffs his boot against the floor, acting perfectly normal one minute and then in a flash he's grabbed Alex and wrapped both arms around him in a tight hug.

"O-Okay," Alex says, awkwardly adjusting his arms under Reggie's grip until he can hug him back.

"Thanks," Reggie mumbles. "I know I can be a lot, sometimes."

Alex chuckles softly, hugging Reggie a little tighter. "I'll put up with you as long as you'll put up with me."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

I don’t want to be greedy but I really would like for another prompt if that’s okay? Angst #10 Alex/Reggie

Thanks so much 😊😊

Reggie's been gone too long for Alex's liking. He knows Reggie gets distracted easily, and that's fine when he's with someone else, but when Reggie is alone it can sometimes lead to bad news. Which is why Alex is now out looking for him, hoping he doesn't find Reggie after he's done something stupid.

When he finally finds Reggie, he's sitting alone on the curb. As Alex gets closer, he can see the shaking of Reggie's shoulders and he realizes that Reggie's sitting alone and crying.

"Reggie, what's wrong? What happened?" Alex sits down on the curb next to him, unsure of whether or not he should pull Reggie into a hug.

Reggie looks up, tears streaming down his face, and he immediately buries his head in Alex's shoulder and continues sobbing uncontrollably.

"H-He… He…" Reggie wails, unable to get anything further out.

"It's okay," Alex says as he awkwardly pats Reggie's hand. "Breathe."

Reggie stops crying for a second to breathe in deeply, but it only leads to more tears. He presses closer to Alex, who finally just wraps his arms around Reggie and holds him as he cries. Alex whispers that it's okay, that he's here, and for Reggie to take his time.

It's breaking his heart to hear Reggie cry like this, but this isn't about him. Alex feels like he shouldn't  get to do anything but just sit here and try and comfort him.

Eventually, Reggie's breathing slows and the tears wane. He lifts his head off of Alex's shoulder, but grabs a hold of Alex's hand when he starts to pull his arms back. Alex readjusts his hold on Reggie, waiting to see what Reggie does next before he makes any other sudden movements.

"There was a puppy," Reggie says quietly, sniffing a little.

"A puppy?"

Reggie nods. "He was all alone. I tried to pet him. I tried to be nice and he--" Reggie's voice breaks and he pauses for a moment, "--he growled at me. And then he ran off and I…"

"Is this why you're crying?" Alex asks carefully. "Because a puppy growled at you?"

"No," Reggie answers immediately, but his chin starts to wobble and he drops his head back down to Alex's shoulder. "Yes, but that's not--"

He starts crying again and Alex tightens his hold. Reggie's sensitive, that he knew. He hides his feelings with humor and asking dumb questions, but there's no doubt that Reggie has a big heart. Something else must've happened for him to take a puppy growling at him so personally.

"Am I dumb?" Reggie asks a little while later, out of nowhere.

"What?"

"Am I an idiot?" Reggie lifts his head and tries to brush the tears off of his face, but they just keep coming. "Am I too dumb for someone to love?"

"Why would you…" Alex stares at him, entirely at a loss. "Who told you that?"

"Nobody," Reggie says, hanging his head once more. "But… it kinda feels that way sometimes."

"You're not an idiot," Alex says firmly. "And everyone loves you."

"They do?"

"Yeah, of course." Alex presses his head against Reggie's and sighs. "And if they don't, then that's their stupid problem. I'll love you enough to make up for it."

Reggie takes in a shaky breath and grabs Alex's hand, tangling their fingers together. "Promise?"

"Promise."

It’s me again. 😊 I just love your Storys so I’m asking for another one, please 😇 Angst #28 Alex/Reggie please, maybe with a nice ending? Thank you so so much 😘😘

hiii sorry it took me so long to get to this! <3

"Reggie--"

"No, Alex."

"C'mon, Reg--"

"I said no," Reggie says firmly. "I'm done talking about this."

"But--" Alex moves, blocking Reggie's exit. "You're upset, and that's okay! But--"

"No! It's not okay!" Reggie tries to get past Alex again, but he won't move. "Go away, Alex."

"No, I'm not going anywhere, and neither are you."

Reggie stares him down, looking angrier than Alex has ever seen him. It's a little jarring, but Alex stays right where he is. Reggie shouldn't be alone right now and he knows it.

"Move out of my way," Reggie says slowly, "before I make you."

Alex doesn't mean to snort, but it happens. On any given day Alex is pretty sure he could take Reggie in a fight if it came to it, but right now there's a possibility that he's about to get punched in the nose.

Reggie tries to push past him but Alex doesn't let him, which earns him a good, hard shove.

"Hey!"

"I told you to move!"

"And I told you no!" Alex sighs. "Reggie, you can't just run away from--"

"I'm not running away! I just don't want to talk about this anymore!"

"Okay!" Alex groans when Reggie tries to shove him again, and he grabs Reggie's wrists. "We don't have to talk about it, okay? But I'm not leaving you alone."

Reggie tries to pull away but Alex holds on tight. He doesn't want to hurt Reggie and he's pretty sure Reggie doesn't want to hurt him either, but he's upset. Alex just wants to try and help him feel better, even if Reggie keeps lashing out.

"Let go," Reggie says as he tries to pull his arms back.

"No," Alex replies, holding steady.

"Let go!!" Reggie cries, starting to hyperventilate as he tries in vain to get away from Alex. It doesn't work. They struggle for maybe a minute before Reggie all but collapses down to the floor, like a puppet cut from its strings.

"It's okay," Alex says as he pulls Reggie into a hug, cradling him close as Reggie cries into his shoulder. "I'm not going anywhere."

Reggie clings to him tightly, but anything he says is lost amongst the sobs. Alex just keeps holding him, gently rocking back and forth until Reggie's crying slows and his breathing isn't as labored.

"I'm sorry," he mumbles, his head still tucked against Alex's chest.

"You don't have to apologize," Alex says. He presses a kiss to Reggie's forehead and gently wipes a tear away from Reggie's cheek.

"I shouldn't have yelled at you," Reggie says. "You were just trying to help."

"You're not going to scare me off that easy, Peters." Alex chuckles lightly. "I told you, I'm not going anywhere."

Reggie slips his arm around Alex's waist and hugs him tightly. "Good."

It seems greedy but I can’t get enough of your writing that’s why I as for a new prompt. Alex/Reggie wiping away someone’s tears

Thank you 💜💜

tiny warning for mentions of blood and needles, but nothing too graphic!

-x-

Reggie isn't the most coordinated person in the world. He knows it, Alex knows it, everyone knows this. It's hardly a secret. But for some reason Reggie still tries to copy the tricks that Luke can do on his own bike and it usually doesn't end well.

But Luke isn't around today so Alex can't even properly blame him for what happens. One minute everything was fine, and the next Reggie was on the ground yelling in pain. Alex still isn't entirely sure what happened when he runs over, but when he sees Reggie's jeans torn at the calf and his leg bleeding (like, a lot), Alex knows it can't be good.

"Oh my god, okay," Alex says as he crouches down, trying to keep both himself and Reggie calm, "it's okay, it's gonna be okay."

Reggie doesn't say anything back apart from a whimper of pain. His eyes are shut tightly and his whole body is shaking, and he winces harshly when Alex tries to get a better look at his injury.

"Can you stand up?" Alex asks.

"Maybe?" Reggie replies honestly. He looks about as uneasy about the prospect as Alex feels, but they've gotta do something.

"C'mon, I'll help you." Alex grabs Reggie's hands and pulls him to his feet, letting Reggie lean heavily on him for support. "Okay?"

"Okay," Reggie says with another wince.

It's a bit of a trek to the nearest ER, especially since they don't have a car and Alex can't imagine any LA city bus driver would be thrilled about having a passenger who's bleeding a lot. They're both winded by the time they make it to the hospital, but that works in their favor because they're quickly led to a room so Reggie can get his leg looked at.

As it turns out the cut is deep enough that it needs some stitches, but overall it's not as bad as it looks. Unfortunately, Reggie hates needles, which makes getting the light anesthetic a far bigger problem than it should be.

"Don't look at the needle, look at me," Alex says as he grabs both of Reggie's hands. Reggie whimpers as he tries to keep his eyes on Alex, but he keeps looking back at the nurse who's tending to his leg.

"Alex--" he whimpers.

"Look at me," Alex repeats. "It's gonna be okay, it's gonna help."

Reggie shuts his eyes entirely when the nurse sticks him with the needle that'll numb his leg, and he squeezes Alex's hands hard. Even Alex winces a little at the sight. Needles don't bother him nearly as much as they do Reggie, but it's still not a pretty sight.

The nurse tells Alex that it'll take a couple minutes for the anesthetic to kick in and she'll be back to clean and stitch up Reggie's leg in a little bit. He thanks her and she leaves, and Alex turns back to Reggie.

He's still shaking a little, but he's not whimpering as much anymore. Alex leans down so that they're eye to eye and squeezes Reggie's hands.

"It's okay," he whispers.

Reggie opens his eyes and a couple tears run down his cheeks. "I don't like this."

"I know." Alex sighs. "Just try and think about something else, okay?"

"Like what?" Reggie sniffs.

"Like… how we're going to get ice cream after this."

"We are?"

"Yeah," Alex says, smiling at Reggie as he carefully wipes away his tears. "Any kind you want."

"Promise?" Alex nods and Reggie lets out a deep breath. "Okay."

"Just keep thinking about ice cream," Alex says as he glances around and spots the nurse coming back towards them with supplies to stitch up Reggie's leg.

"I want chocolate," Reggie murmurs. "And cookie dough."

Alex snorts. "Whatever you want." He runs his fingers through Reggie's hair and sighs softly. "Just don't make this a habit, okay?"

"Deal."

Hey, it’s me LOL. So could you please write Fluff #30 Alex/Reggie and General #48 Alex /Reggie?? Thank you so much 😘😘

Well, this has taken an age, hasn’t it? Sorry about that. 😘

I think I’m done with the prompts, which is very annoying considering I still have a pile in my inbox. So no new prompts from now on, thanks. I’m hoping I will get to the rest of them soon. 😊😊😊

Prompts filled.

“Reggie? You ok?” Alex touched his shoulder and Reggie started.

He’d been in his own world, thinking about the very person in front of him.

“I have to tell you something. I wasn’t going to, and I probably shouldn’t -” Alex laid a hand on his arm and smiled at him. Reggie took a deep breath. “I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.”

Alex blinked, and opened and shut his mouth a few times.

“You don’t need to say anything, really it’s probably better if you don’t. You can now just go on and pretend I never said anything and I’ll do the same.”

“Reg.” Alex grabbed his arm again and shook it gently. “Just give me a second to process, ok?”

Reggie took another deep breath and nodded. Alex paced the length of the room, then returned to Reggie and caught his hand.

“Ok. This is going to sound like I’m making it up, because I know you, but I’m not, I promise.” His grip tightened on Reggie’s hands and Reggie bit his lip. “I feel exactly the same way. And I have for a long time. I thought I was being a creep, so I never would have said anything.”

“What? What do you mean, a creep?”

“When I came out… well, you know how complicated it was. I’ve been hearing my whole life how wrong it is and that anyone like me is a pervert. I didn’t want to be one of those… I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable.”

“Dude. We would never think that of you. Even if you’d decided you had a crush on any one of us! Maybe if you had told me, I wouldn’t have been pining for so long!”

Alex laughed wearily. “Yeah, maybe.”

“I mean it. I just want you to be happy. I won’t hurt you, I never would,” Reggie said earnestly.

“I know. But sometimes you can’t know that until you’ve laid your cards on the table, and then it’s too late to take it back.”

“I know. I know. But we’ve known each other forever, no matter what happens, we can always be honest with each other. Well, starting now.” 

Alex laughed. “Yeah.”

“So uh, can I kiss you?” Reggie bit his lip again and looked up at Alex through his eyelashes. Alex’s lips quirked and he nodded shyly. Reggie set his hands on Alex’s waist, and Alex grabbed at his arms as Reggie leaned in and slowly pressed their mouths together. It was just a warm, gentle press of lips, but they were both breathing hard when they pulled back.

Reggie’s cheeks felt hot, and he couldn’t stop smiling, but he didn’t mind because Alex was smiling too, and he hadn’t let go.
