Alexander watched Thomas with jealousy, but he also felt genuinely happy for the man. Just a few moments ago his boyfriend James had phoned, telling him that he was fine and was almost out of the building and that he loved him dearly.

While he was glad that Thomas got that closure, he couldn't help but feel slightly envious that he got to say those potential last words to his lover. Aaron had yet to contact him and after their last phone call... well, Alexander was trying to hope for the best, but there wasn't a lot to go off of.

"I love you, James. I love you so so much, please come back to me." Thomas sobbed before hanging up, knowing his lover was pressed for time.

Alexander watched as Thomas sat down and let out a strangled sob. Alexander turned his gaze away from him and looked out the window, staring at the burning towers. He couldn't help but wonder if Aaron was in one of the towers, and if so, was he still alive? Was he even intact?

Alexander could feel tears building up but he refused to let them fall. He knew he had to stop thinking that Aaron was dead, but it was hard to stay positive.

Suddenly, his phone rang and Alexander practically flew to answer it.

"A-Aaron?" He asked hopefully.

"Alexander."

A sob escaped his lips at the sound of Aaron's voice. "Aaron. Aaron oh my lord I was so scared. I was so worried." He sobbed. The tears he'd fought so hard to hold back were flowing freely now but he couldn't bring himself to care.

Aaron was alive and that was all he cared about.
