Austin POV

Alan was acting a bit strange after first period, so I decided to wait untill lunch to ask him what this is all about. I know 5 minutes won't be enough to talk it out. After 4th period, I met him at the cafeteria. He was sitting alone at our usual table.
''Hey babe.'' I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
''Hey.'' He put one on my lips and I was kinda surprised, but of course it didn't bother me. I love Alan, he can kiss me whenever, wherever he wants, and the opposite.
''What's wrong?'' I asked him straight away.
''I need to tell you something. You know that new kid, Josh?'' He said.
''Yeah, what about him?''
''Well... he went to the bathroom after me at first period.''
''Mhm...''
''He said he likes me a-and when I wanted to leave b-back to class, he grabbed me by the arm...'' He sunk his face into his palms. I thought he was going to cry. Did that fucktard hurt him? I sure hope not, for his sake.
''Did he hurt you? Alan, tell me!'' I said.
''No, he didn't. H-he, … he k-kissed me.'' I though I was going to freak out. I know he was there when me and Kyle got into a fight and I know he also saw the whole thing because I saw him. What the hell does he think he's doing? He knows Alan and I are together.
''I'm so s-sorry Austin. I love you.'' Alan said. I saw his eyes get teary. He hugged me and buried his face into my shoulder.
''Alan, baby it's okay. Are you crying?'' I heard him sob a little. ''Hey, hey. Stop. I'll talk to him, okay? We'll both talk to him and explain everything. Please don't feel bad.'' I tried to make him feel better.
''I d-didn't do it on purpose. I don't like him and I feel so stupid because I didn't push him away immediately.'' He said.
''Hey, it's okay. I know you wouldn't do anything like that to me, I trust you. Please don't cry.'' People were staring at us. Especially Kyle's friends, my ex-friends. They were looking at me like I did something horrible to them. But I didn't care. If Alan is the only one I have at school, then so be it.
But this Josh situation needs to be solved as soon as possible.

---

I was standing in the hallway after my last period, looking around, waiting for Josh to come by. Alan was standing right next to me, doing something on his cellphone. He always did that when he was nervous. But I was really pissed and I wanted to let Josh know that Alan is not available, since it didn't help that he pushed him away when he kissed him. A minute later, he walks by, going to the bathroom. I grabbed Alan's hand and we followed him.
''Hey you... Josh, right?'' I started, no hesitations.
''Correct. And you are?'' He said, turning around so he could face me. Then he saw Alan. He walked to the sink and started washing his hands.
''Oh, you're Alan's boy... Austin? Did I guess your name?'' He was being arrogant and I now know what Alan meant when he was telling me about him.
''You're right. What do you think you're doing?'' I asked.
''Excuse me?'' He was playing dumb, I couldn't believe it.
''Look, I don't want trouble. I'm just here to tell you to stay away from Alan. I saw you the other day, when that incident happened with Kyle and stuff ...and I know you like Alan, but if you touch him against his will, we will have a problem. Clear?''
''What? Hold on pretty boy... I didn't touch him against his will. He was the one that kissed me.''
I stood there quiet for a moment. What? Alan would never do that.
''What the fuck are you talking about?!'' Alan yelled out.
''Oh, stop it Alan! Pretending in front of your boyfriend won't fix what you did.'' Josh said.
''Alan? Is this true, did you kiss him??'' I asked. I mean I trust Alan, but then again, Josh transfered here a week ago, he doesn't even know anyone well, why would he be lying?
''No! Of course it's not true. He's making it all up, because he's like in love with me or something!'' Alan said. He was really pissed, I could see it in his eyes. He approached Josh and harshly pushed him against the wall, grabbing him by the collar.
''Tell the truth you fucktard, or I will kick the shit out of your lying ass!'' He said.
''Whoa, whoa... I'm not in love with you, what the fuck... stop hitting on me.'' Josh replied.
Before Alan could punch him, and he would because he already tried to swing at him, I grabbed his arm and pulled him away.
''Alan, stop! Let's go.'' I said and opened the bathroom door. I turned around to Josh before we left. ''Stay the fuck away from us, especially Alan.'' I said and pulled Alan to the hallway.
We walked to our lockers to get our stuff and then go home.
''I swear to god Austin, I didn't kiss him, he's lying.'' Alan said as I was opening my locker. He was a mixture of sadness and agression.
''Alan, please just leave it. Don't go near him again, I don't like him.'' I replied.
''Shit, Aus, you dont really believe him, do you??'' He said, out of his mind.
''I believe you, but I don't know if he has a reason to lie to me...'' And it was true, he didn't have a reason to lie to me, unless he was so offended when Alan pushed him away and asked to leave him alone. But he was only here for a week, why would you do something like this …going around, trying to mess up other relationships.
''I turned him down! I don't know what he sees in me anyways, look at me!'' He said. He took a seat on the floor, leaning on the lockers and started crying.
''Shit.'' I cursed and shut my locker. ''Alan, I'm sorry. Stop degrading yourself, you're great, you hear me? You're the nicest person I know and you're also the most beautiful to me.''
He hugged his knees and stopped crying a bit. I felt so bad, I shouldn't have had any doubts, Alan loves me I know it. And I also love him, I'm his boyfriend. But this wasn't very boyfriendish of me.
''Babe, I'm sorry. Look, I believe you. Stop crying, please. If he bothers you again, just tell me, okay? We're in this together.'' I said and cupped his face with my palms.
''Okay?'' I repeated. He nodded and I wiped his tears.
''Come on babe, let's go. You wanna go to my place?'' I asked him.
''Yeah. Let me just text my mom to let her know.'' He replied.
''Alright. Come on princess.'' I put my arm over his shoulders and we walked home.
What is Josh doing, what does he want? I love Alan, I'll do anything to protect him, always.
