It really said something that Alex considered Des's couch a step up from being at home - but damn, was home tiring. Home was family members in grim silence, Lila refusing to come home, everyone wanting to broach something but failing.
Home was empty because part of home was completely gone. He still hadn't even managed to look in Cait's room, and it had been weeks. The police weren't properly looking anymore - other things to attend to.
So he crashed on Des's couch and refused to move for anyone.

Every few moments or so Des would glance up from whatever he was working on to glance at the mop of blue hair that had leeched itself onto his couch. This was turning out to be one of the few times, more like once in a blue moon rare, that Desmond actually let Alex around him to do whatever he wanted. And since the kid was going to sit there and mope, Des agreed. Especially considering he knew the cause. His eyes flickered upstairs, to a hallway. ....He was slightly surprised that Gabriel had said he was staying once he heard about Alex. ....Though hiding in the purple haired boys room was not how one normally went about watching a boyfriend...
Unfortunately for Desmond though, while Alex might be content to sit there and wither away into a husk, the purple haired boy just wasn't use to it. Alex was constantly jumping him, always active. So to see the boy quietly laying there and staring off into space was a little unnerving. Pushing up his glasses, Des rubbed at his eyes as he slouched in his chair with a sigh. "Alex... I get you upset, but laying here isn't going to do you any good."
It was then that the door to Des' house flew open unceremoniously. "Knock knock, anyone home?" Came a voice that made Desmond groan and sink into his chair. Not him. ANYONE but him. Hell, Des would actually prefer Alex over him. Angry teal eyes glared up at lazy pinky red.
"Luka." The purple haired boy spat.
"Desmond." Came the reply. "What do you want. Why are you even here, I'm busy." Des hissed. "Are not." Luka said as he lazily walked about the room. Luka was tall. Taller, in fact than Des. "What are you busy with?" "I have company." Des deadpanned as he shrugged a shoulder at the mass on his couch.

Alex made a quiet grumbling noise. "Not doing anything, no, but it's...better than home..." He said, his voice soft. He sank into himself - and, really, into the oversized hoodie he was wearing, one hand gripping the locket around his neck.
Having someone intrude - and Luka, of all people - was certainly not what he'd hoped for. Des, he could at least hopefully brush off. Luka was too damn persistent.
"Hullo, Luka," he said, doing his best to get any actual feeling into his voice and failing rather completely.

Luka just blinked. "That's not company, that's Alex." Luka mumbled as Des resisted the urge to scream. "....What's he doing over here anyway? I thought you hated when he's here?
"Not as much as I hate having you here so if you're done being a pain in my side I'd ask you to leave. Neither I nor Alex feel particularly inclined to put up with your special brand of stupidity for the night." Des grumbled as he tried to ignore the taller man.
Luka just raised a brow before skulking over to the couch and leaning over the other man. "What's your problem?

Alex rolled over to face away from the green-haired man, making a soft grumbling noise. "What the ******** do you think my problem is?" He asked, his tone sharper, perhaps, than it needed to be.
"My sister's gone and my house is a funeral home and this place is slightly better because the air is not quite as thick with misery." He was perhaps a little too angry, too cruel to someone who wasn't even close to at fault, but damn it, he was hurting.

"I honestly have no clue." He blinked as Alex explained his 'story'. "Oh. Well that sucks." The greenette rocked on his heels a bit, before glancing back at Alex. "Soooo I lost my number. Can I have yours?"
"Oh for the love of ********> Des groaned. "Don't start."

Alex groaned. "Luka, stop, that was actually physically painful," he said, and then he sighed. "Des, go make sure your boyfriend is okay, he's got problems of his own and I can handle the cheesemaster over here."

Des closed his book instantly. Alex didn't have to tell him twice. "Feel free to kill him if he gets too annoying. Skylar won't mind." Des said headed for his room. "Come find me if you're tired of sleeping on the couch. You know I've got the spare room I can set up."
Luka just rolled his eyes before flopping on the couch with a grin. "Are you religious? Because you're the answer to all my prayers."

"I'll even make it look like an accident!" Alex said, mock-cheerfully. Then, he groaned again and grabbed the nearest pillow, throwing it at Luka. "You are awful. The absolute worst. Don't even."

"Okay. I know I don't say it often but you are amazing." Des said as he called from the the stairs before disappearing all together.
Luka just grinned lazily, stretching. "Then make me shut up if I'm so horrible. The green haired giant was silent for another moment before... "Hey baby, you must be a light switch, cuz every time I see you, you turn me on."

The compliment from Des, even if it was somewhat insincerely meant, actually got Alex to crack a brief smile, before he returned his attention to Luka.
"I swear to god they're getting worse," he said. He picked his head up off the couch. "If you'd like me to smother you with a pillow I'm pretty sure I can do that."

Luka kept at it. 'Hey baby, you must be a light switch, cuz every time I see you, you turn me on!', 'You're so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line', 'Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see!' Each one more progressively cheesier and cornier then the last.

Alex groaned as if in pain, and then suddenly an absolutely wicked smile appeared on his face. He was pretty sure there was one reaction Luka wasn't expecting - so he scooted closer, until he was practically in the taller man's lap, and then leaned up to kiss him. Hard.
He held it until he was straining for breath, and then pulled away, licking Luka's lips as he did. "Are you done?"

Luka blinked as Alex crawled into his lap and kissed him. Well in his defense, Luka had told Alex to make him shut up.... Course, this didn't mean it would work. "Depends." Luka said slowly. "What if I have an "owie" on my lip. Will you kiss it and make it better? .....Or can I borrow a kiss? I promise I'll give it back?"
There was silence as he stared.
"Are you going to kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary?"
Boom. Three kiss related pick up lines in one go.

Alex actually let out a soft pained whine. "Oh my god, you are utterly impossible," he said, smacking his hands against Luka's chest. "There is not a force in this universe that will stop you now, is there?"
Clearly kissing him only encouraged him - time for a new plan.
