"ALEX!" John yelped as he bolted across the road. Alex's head shot up and his entire expression lit up like a christmas tree.
"John," he breathed with a laugh, running forward best he could with his still injured calf and capturing him in a desperate hug right in the middle of the road.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry," John mumbled into Alex's embrace, shaking his head.
"John it's not your fault, it's nobody's fault, I'm glad you didn't try to save us, it was better that only two of us got caught than everyone all over again," Alex chuckled, brushing a hand through John's hair.

John sighed and buried his face in Alex's chest.
"I'm still sorry," he pouted persistently. "You got shot oh my god are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Alex laughed, brushing John's hair back and kissing his nose. "Now we're together again,"

Maria hesitantly stepped out of the van, making her way over to pull Eliza into a gentle hug.
"Did you miss me?" Eliza laughed, tilting her head playfully.
"Every second," Maria nodded.

"Alright let's get out of the open before someone recognises you lot," Jefferson muttered out the window with a slight chuckle. The group agreed and Alex, John, Maria and Eliza ducked back into the back of the van.
"Welcome back," Hercules chuckled, slinging an arm around Alex and Eliza's shoulders.

"Yeah thanks for the help guys," Alex muttered sarcastically with a slight laugh. The others chuckled awkwardly with a sigh. The van fell into a tangible silence as everyone glanced around awkwardly.

"Well, we haven't eaten since yesterday," Alex broke the silence with a frown, gesturing towards himself and Eliza.

"Shit really?" John exclaimed, his wide eyes darting between Alex and Eliza. "Let's get some dinner,"
"McDonalds again?" Lafayette laughed.
"Uh, I had other plans for John and I," Alex grinned, slinking his arm around John's waist.

John smiled but caught Maria's gaze and suddenly felt a pang of guilt about what he had done. Alex didn't know. Alex couldn't know.
"Does that sound nice?" Alex hummed in John's ear, snapping him out of his trance.
"Y-yeah, yeah I'd like that," John smiled softly, leaning into Alex's arms. Alex smiled and kissed John's cheek, making his skin crawl, guilt eating away at him limb by limb.

"Where are you all sleeping tonight?" Alex asked the group.
"We'll probs stay in the van, set up in the underground parking over night," Maria replied quickly, having already thought things through.
"Great, we'll meet you there in the morning," Alex beamed, releasing John and kneeling to the floor to grab a gun from under the seats.

"Wait what? Where are you going?" Maria frowned, crossing her arms.
"Somewhere," Alex smirked, glancing at Eliza who giggled in understanding.
"I'm getting nervous," John chuckled as Alex stood up again, crossing his arms across his stomach.

Alex laughed and grabbed John's hand, rubbing his thumbs over his knuckles.
"There's no need to be nervous," he laughed, leaning up close to John's ear. "Tonight's the night," he sang under his breath, squeezing his hand. John's cheeks flushed pink and he grinned like the lovesick idiot he was.
"Can I snag $50?" Alex asked Jefferson sweetly, holding his hand out. "I'll pay you back in France,"

"No you won't." Jefferson deadpanned, nonetheless reluctantly retrieving his wallet from his pocket.
"I'll do my best," Alex grinned, earning a sigh from Jefferson as he slapped the $50 note in his palm.
"I want change," he grumbled.

Alex rolled his eyes and nodded, shoving the note in his pocket and pulling John to the van's back doors.
"Cya guys!" Alex called out, quickly saluting before throwing the door open and pulling John out. A chorus of 'goodbye's and 'have fun's echoed behind them as John giggled and closed the doors behind them.

"Alright where are you taking me?" John laughed, squinting at Alex curiously.
"As I said, somewhere," Alex answered matter-of-factly with a smirk dancing on his lips.
"And where is somewhere?" John pouted.
"Could be anywhere," Alex grinned, poking his tongue out at John.
"Cheeky son of a-" John laughed before Alex swooped up and grabbed his collar in his fist, pulling him into a gentle kiss.

"Language," Alex scolded under his breath as he pulled away with a cheeky grin.
"We're wanted criminals, I'll say whatever the fuck I want," John grinned, batting his eyelashes innocently.
"Then can I fuck whoever I say I want?" Alex smirked, raising his eyebrows. John's eyes widened and he blushed softly, that escalated quickly.

"Only if they want you back, who do you want?" John muttered a little shakily with a small nervous laugh.
"I want you," Alex grinned, pulling John's lips forward into another slow kiss. They slowed their pace until John pulled away with a gentle smile and pink tinted cheeks.
"Well I want food," John grinned with a small giggle. Alex sighed in fake exasperation and rolled his eyes. "Alright c'mon," he laughed, leading John around a corner.

They walked hand in hand quiet and calmly, keeping their heads down not to attract too much attention.
Alex was happy to stay quiet because he was just happy with John's presence.
John was happy to stay quiet because he was scared anything he said could give away his incident with Maria.
And he couldn't have that.

Suddenly Alex pulled John to the side of the road.
"Finally," he muttered, approaching a sleek red convertible with the top down.
"Alex...?" John muttered nervously as Alex jumped over the door and into the driver's seat.
"Hop in toots," Alex smirked, leaning down to remove the plastic cover under the steering wheel.

"We're stealing a car?" John hissed in horror.
"Oh c'mon, we've done worse," he scoffed, smirking mischievously at John. "I'll give it back afterwards,"

John pressed his lips into a thin line and rolled his eyes, feeling a little thrill as he watched Alex get to work connecting the ignition wire and battery wire.

He stepped around the other side and hopped over the door, sinking into the seat beside Alex and watching him carefully.
"How do you know h-"
"How to hot wire a car? I don't," Alex grinned, glancing up at John. "But Eliza does, she taught me,"

"Have you ever wondered why Eliza's so good with cars? I feel like she's got a secret speedway career on the sidelines none of us know about," John laughed as the car hummed to life.
"If I'm honest, that wouldn't surprise me," Alex chuckled, grabbing the steering wheel. "Ah, do you still have your lollipop from Maria?"

"Y-yeah why?" John muttered, shivering a little at her name.
"Can I borrow it," Alex snickered, holding out his hand. John laughed a little and nodded, passing Alex his little blue lollipop from his pocket.

Alex grinned and sat up in his seat, aiming before slamming the lollipop stick into the metal keyhole behind the wheel, popping it open and releasing the spring on the steering lock. He passed John back the lollipop with a grin but it faulted slightly when he saw John's expression.

"Hey, uh Maria didn't, try anything while we were gone did she?" Alex frowned, feeling like he had failed John if he couldn't protect him. John hesitated before shaking his head stiffly.
"It was fine," he muttered with a weak smile. It was anything but fine, but Alex couldn't know.

Of course, Alex didn't believe John, and he knew him well enough to know even if Maria had tried something, John wouldn't say.
"Just have fun tonight okay, tonight is our night," Alex smiled, leaning over the centre console to kiss John's cheek.
John nodded with a soft smile and Alex turned to the wheel, one hand on the gear stick and one on the wheel.
"I haven't driven a car in a while, so, good luck," Alex grinned sheepishly before slamming on the gas and jetting down the street. John squeaked and gripped the seat, realising they weren't wearing seatbelts.

"Safety first, stupid," John laughed, leaning over to put Alex's on for him. As his arms wrapped around Alex he left a few soft kisses down his neck. Alex hummed happily and John leaned back to click his own on.

The sun had begun to set and after not too long driving they reached a large park. The drive-in movies.
On the other side of the entrance a massive screen and projector were set up, rows of cars lined up underneath daintily strung fairy lights. John's eyes widened and he sighed in amazement. Alex glanced over at him and felt butterflies explode in his stomach, the fairy lights reflecting in John's eyes giving them a glossy glow, he truly looked angelic.

John caught Alex's gaze and smiled wider.
"How did you find this place?" John beamed as Alex slowly rolled the car in.
"Eliza and I stumbled across it during our escape, I realised we've never had our first date, so while we've got the chance, I'm taking it," Alex smiled softly, parking the car around the back to avoid attention.
"Alex this is lovely," John smiled, grabbing his hand. Alex smiled and leaned forward, connecting their lips in a gentle kiss. John reached a hand up to caress Alex's jaw, pulling him closer with an unmovable smile on his lips.
"I love you John," Alex whispered, resting his forehead against John's.
"I love you too Lex," John smiled, sighing in content.

The screen ahead of them suddenly flashed to life and Alex pulled away, frowning a little.
"This isn't going to work for me," Alex muttered, letting go of John's hand and opening his car door.
"A-Alex?" John muttered worriedly, his stomach dropping as Alex got out of the car.

He sighed in relief when Alex walked around the car over to his side, opening his car door. Without any warning Alex crawled onto John's lap, closing the door behind him. John giggled and wrapped his arms around Alex, snuggling up to him.

"I'm glad you're safe," John hummed into Alex's hair, fluttering his eyes closed.
"Me too," Alex chuckled softly, turning to gaze up at John. He caressed John's jaw with his fingertips and brought him into a captivating kiss, relaxing in John's arms.

John smiled against Alex's lips and stopped kissing back, simply sitting with his lips still against Alex's, their breathing syncing as Casablanca began to play on the projector. Alex bit John's lip and let it slip between his teeth as he pulled back, a soft blush lighting up on John's cheeks.
"I'm gonna get that food," Alex grinned, sitting up a little. "What condiments do you have on hotdogs?"

"Just tomato sauce is fine," John chuckled as Alex stood up.
"Perfect, be right back," he smiled, ducking and pecking John's cheek before bouncing away to the food stand.

John watched Alex go and as soon as he was out of eye sight, he groaned and threw his head in his hands.
'You have to tell him'
'He'll hate you forever'
'He doesn't deserve to be cheated on'
'He's too good for you'

Fuck, too many thoughts and not enough time. After 4 minutes Alex was back with two freshly grilled hotdogs, two cokes and popcorn. He plopped back in John's lap, beaming excitedly.
"Your dish, Mr Laurens," he announced, handing him a hotdog and leaving the drinks and popcorn on the dash.
"Uh, thanks Alex," John laughed sheepishly, making up for his sudden awkwarness by pecking his cheek before he started eating.

Alex leaned into John's chest, not really watching the movie as he ate and snuggled into the love of his life. Throughout the movie Alex would lean up and whisper sweet nothings to John out of the blue, constant little reminders of how much he loved him, or how beautiful he was. Each one was successful in sending a fleet of butterflies buzzing in John's stomach.

By the end of the movie Alex had his face snuggled into John's neck, his arms wrapped around him lazily with John's arms slung around Alex, pulling his body closer.
"I wish we could do this more often," John sighed, raking a hand through Alex's hair.
"When we're in France, we can cuddle and watch movies every night," Alex grinned, pecking John's cheek.

John giggled and sighed, closing his eyes.
"Do you think we can do it?" He whispered, gazing at Alex. "Get to France?"
"We will do it, I know it, we'll be free, I don't doubt it for a second," Alex nodded firmly, smiling at John with an excited spark of determination in his eyes.

John smiled happily, really believing Alex. It was only a matter of time now before they were free, they would be free.
"You never fail to amaze me Alex," John smiled warmly, leaning closer and kissing him tenderly.

Alex twisted on John's lap to straddle him, cupping his face in his hands and kissing back with a smile while John's hands trailed down to rest on Alex's lower back. Alex ran his tongue along John's lips, earning an entrance and deepening the kiss. John's hands trailed down to grip Alex's ass, causing him to gasp a little.
"Why don't we take this to the back seat?" Alex moaned against John's lips, a suggestive smirk dancing on his lips. John pulled away with flushed cheeks, wiping away the thin string of saliva connecting their tongues and nodding furiously.

Alex giggled, crawling off of John's lap and back into the driver's seat.
"Let's move the car first, for the sake of everyone else here," Alex smirked, earning a light chuckle from John. Alex reversed the car and pulled out of the drive in movies, back out onto the street.

Alex parked the car in an empty car park for the local park next door to the drive in, right beside a stunning botanical display of flowers. John leaned back in his seat and smiled, slowly turning on the radio to hum through the car quietly. Alex turned to John with a playful smirk.
"Last one in the back is Jefferson's wife," he laughed. John's face fell to pure disgust and he yelped as he and Alex both dove for the back seat, falling in a messy tangle of limbs and laughter.

"It's a tie," John grinned, pinning Alex to the seat.
"Aw you don't want to be Jefferson's wife?" Alex pouted teasingly.
"Ew no, I wanna be your wife," John laughed. The car fell silent as the two of them gazed at each other lovingly, lost in each other's eyes.

"John," Alex whispered softly.
"Yes Alex?" John smiled, tilting his head.
"Will you marry me?"

John stared at Alex and slowly his lips rose to a smile brighter than the sun, fireworks were exploding in his eyes.
"I don't have a ri-"
"YES!" John yelled, slamming his lips against Alex's. Alex gasped and laughed as John peppered gentle kisses all over his face.
"Yes," kiss "yes," kiss "yes," kiss "a million times yes," he sighed, happy tears welling in Alex's eyes. John laughed and swiped them away with his thumbs. "I love you," John breathed.
"I love you too," Alex smiled, resting his forehead against John's and fluttering his eyes closed.

All of a sudden he felt something cold on his hand. Alex opened his eyes and glanced at his hand, seeing a single snow flake delicately melting on his warm skin.
"John," Alex breathed, looking up at the sky in awe. Snow slowly began to flutter down around them, landing in their hair and kissing their eyelashes. John giggled as Alex stuck his tongue out to catch some, eating it with a grin. This moment was simply enchanting, like it had been pulled straight out of a romance movie.

"I have never been happier in my life," John whispered, his voice cracking as he gazed at Alex like he was his sun, his moon and all the stars. Alex giggled and pulled him into a soft kiss, wrapping his arms around John and sitting up.

He broke away from the kiss only to lean over to the steering wheel, flipping the switch for the roof. The car hummed slowly as the roof lifted over them and Alex slipped back over, straddling John and returning to kissing him like there was no tomorrow.
"You're mine," Alex whispered against his lips. "And I'm yours," he smiled, wrapping his arms around John's neck.

"I'm yours," John repeated with a grin before pushing Alex down onto the seats and crawling over him with a smirk. "And you're mine,"
