Chapitre Vingt-Deux
"No, stop trying to defend yourself! Why would you do that!?" Alex yelled. John just decided to stay silent. "Oh, so you have nothing to say now? Wow, that is just like you. Instead of admitting you're wrong you just don't say anything," Alex was going off on him. John bit back a smile.
"What are you smiling about?" Alex asked, clearly annoyed. "You put barbacoa on your burrito! That's ridiculous, and I am disgusted by you." Alex had been ranting about John's burrito order ever since they left the restaurant. Apparently, he could have understood chicken, or steak, or even carnitas.
"You know what, I'll just drop it. Whatever. Fine. Eat your disgusting burrito and I just won't say anything," Alex said, clearly still annoyed. He looked out the window, completely silent.
"Alex?" John asked softly. Alex didn't look back at him.
"What?" he mumbled in response.
"Would you like me to not eat my burrito in front of you?" John asked, trying not to laugh as he pitched the ridiculous offer.
"Well.. no," Alex turned back around to face him. "You're fine, I guess. I still think it's gross, though. And I still think chicken is the best."
They spent the rest of the drive just chatting about what movies they wanted to watch, deciding on Lord of the Rings, and then The Hobbit movies if they had time. John set up the movies while Alex checked to see if there were any snacks in the kitchen. He noticed microwave popcorn, and remembered that for later. John called him into the living room to watch the movie, so Alex picked up the bag of burritos and took them with him.
They started watching the movies at about 6:30. Alex did the math and figured out that the movies would take about eight hours to watch, if they didn't stop at all. 2:30 in the morning was a reasonable time for two teachers to fall asleep, right? Definitely. They put the first movie in and started on their burritos.
They were only about halfway through the first movie when they finished their food, and Alexander got antsy very quick. He got up to use the restroom, but didn't pause the movie. He knew what happened already, and they couldn't waste time if they ever wanted to finish the series tonight. John pointed him to where the restroom was without taking his eyes away from the TV screen.
Alex was washing his hands when he decided he wanted to look around. He had been to John's house before, and explored many of his different rooms, but never the bathroom. Trying to find places that could be interesting he scanned his surroundings. He looked behind the shower curtain, but the only interesting thing was the expensive shampoo and conditioner. He almost left, feeling defeated, until he noticed something that looked promising.
The cabinet underneath the sink. Although most people wouldn't take a second glance at it, Alex was intrigued. People keep all sorts of things in bathroom cabinets. Innocent bottles of hand soap and rolls of toilet paper, or evil murdering devices of death. Alex crouched down to open the cabinet. He opened the cabinets, and his mouth dropped at what he saw.
I really like the idea of Alex getting super kiddish when he's around John and idk why
