Clouded Vision…

Hmmm…he's got to be around here somewhere… Jagger thought as he crept slowly through the foggy graveyard. The moon shone brightly overhead through the leafless autumn trees. Finally, as Jagger turned the corner of a gravestone, he saw him. Sitting quietly on a large rock, staring up at the millions of stars shining in the vast, night sky was Alexander Sterling.

Jagger's eyes softened at the sight of him, and as he approached, Alexander seemed to come back to reality and quickly turned around. "J-Jagger…" he stuttered nervously. Jagger just smiled calmly and pulled him into a tight hug. Alexander seemed surprised at first and just hung limply in his arms, but slowly lifted his arms and wrapped them around Jagger's neck, closing his eyes while doing so. "I-I'm so glad you came…" he whispered into his ear. Jagger shivered slightly at the feeling of Alexander's warm breath on his neck. "Of course I came…" he replied softly.

Alexander opened his eyes slightly and the corners of his mouth pulled up into a small smile. "But…what do you think they would say if they found out…" Jagger paused. "About us." At this, Alexander slowly pulled away and looked down, but kept quiet. Jagger stared at him, his blue and green eyes piercing into the darkness.

"We've got to tell them sometime." Jagger said quietly, and reached out to gently grasp Alexander's shoulder. "Especially Raven…"

Alexander slowly lifted his gaze and nodded. "She…has been noticing me acting…strange…" Jagger titled his head in confusion. "Strange?" he repeated. Alexander blushed slightly and nodded. Looking back down he said, "She keeps saying stuff like, 'Why won't you hug me anymore?' or 'Are you avoiding me or something?'" Jagger looked at him thoughtfully. It must be hard to keep lying to her and sneaking away…but wait, wasn't he doing the same thing? Instead to his sister, Luna. At that, he slowly looked down, only to feel warm arms around him a second later. "Alexander…" he whispered, and closed his eyes, loving the feeling of being embraced. "I love you…" Alexander whispered back. Jagger blushed and buried his head into his shoulder, wrapping his arms around his back at the same time. "But what are we going to do…" he said quietly. Alexander frowned and tightened his arms around him. "We'll think of something…" he replied, then let go of him, pulling back slowly. Jagger let his arms drop from Alexander's back, and as he stared deeply into his deep brown eyes, he started leaning forward. Alexander blushed lightly and sat there, frozen. Just as Jagger's lips brushed across his, he closed the gap between them and they both sat there, under the moonlight, in their own little sanctuary.
