"Morning, sweetheart."

Alec opened his eyes. He was tired. Wait, what time was it? He was never awake after 8 as per usual, but they had gone out the evening before. But how much later could it be?

He sat up in the bed, the black duvet falling down from his shoulders to his waist, now only hiding the lower half of his body. He yawned.

"What time is it?" he asked, looking at his boyfriend who was standing by the window, opening the white cutains.

"12:30. I was going to wake you up at the normal time, but you were so sweet while you were sleeping, I just couldn't."

Alec was suddenly wide awake. "12:30? You can't be serious!" He reached for his cellphone lying next to the bed, checking the time. 12:30. Damn. How did he manage to sleep for so long? "I'm going to be late!" He looked at his boyfriend in horror when he realised he was supposed to be at work an hour and a half ago.

"You were supposed to work today? Baby, you do realise it's thursday, right?"

Alec's shoulders sank and he blushed. He hadn't realised it was thursday, no. He only worked sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesday, so he actually didn't have to be at work.

"Oh thank God," was all he could say as he fell back into the pile of pillows behind him. He then looked up at his boyfriend. "Wait, how long have you been up?"

"Oh, just for a couple hours. I thought I'd let you sleep, though. You haven't been able to get much sleep lately, so I figured you needed it."

Alec smiled at how considerate his boyfriend was. He was always like that, and he always kept updated with Alec's appointments, so he was sure he didn't plan anything that wouldn't work and Alec wouldn't miss anything.

"Thanks."

"Are you ready, Alec?"

"Almost, give me a couple of minutes," he shouted from the bathroom. He fixed his hair one more time, hating that he had to, but knowing he'd have to do that for his boyfriend. It was an important night for him.

"Hurry up, sweetheart, we have to leave." His boyfriend showed up in the door to the bathroom, looking at Alec from head to toe. He smiled. "You look beautiful."

Alec blushed and smiled at him. "Thanks. So, where are we actually going?"

"It's this party-thing just outside the city. It's held at my boss' place, so behave."

Alec smiled. "I wouldn't dream of behaving when it's about your career dear, you know I have to screw it up. All for you."

He led Alec out of the apartment, locking the door behind them. "You better not," he said and grinned at Alec. "The taxi's waiting at the frontdoor."

Alec nodded and started walking down the stairs. Just as he had said, the taxi was waiting just outside the front door, and he got in. Not a minute later, his boyfriend slid into the seat next to him, buckling his seatbelt. He gave the driver the adress and settled into the seat, as they'd have to drive for about 20 minutes.

"Thank you for doing this for me. I know how much you hate parties. I love you, babe."

Alec smiled at him, he too settling into the seat. "I love you too, Scott."

AN: So this is my first attempt at a multichaptered story. The first chapter wasn't really good, but it was just to get it started. The story will improve as it unravels, I promise!

Reviews are greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'll be on vacation for the next week, so it'll be updated when I get home.

I hope you liked it, even though it was very short!
