Alex shook his head, waving a hand dismissively, "I didn't exactly ask either. There's no hard feelin's, sweetheart. It's just better to be a little more up front, next time." He winked, really and truly not put out or anything. It happened more times than he'd like to admit - either I'm seeing someone or I'm straight. Maybe it was a little disheartening to think he was probably never going to find someone for himself... Alex turned to kiss Justin's temple in what was more of a motherly fashion, "I should let you get back to your homework anyhow."
