#justin x alex

I was tagged by @fmljustlexand@thebikeandbluejacket to post the last few lines of the latest thing I’ve written. Thank you for tagging me lovelies!

He opens his eyes to the familiar view and with a shaky hand reaches for the doorknob. Gripping tightly, he gives one final push until it swings open revealing the beautiful mess of a boy sat upright on his bed.

“Hey Foley” he smiles widely.

Justin instantly smiles back and finds himself relaxing completely. He saunters through the room and gives Alex a bone-crushing hug (much to the boy’s dismay) because no matter the twisted thoughts that enter his mind Alex wasokay, he was alive and he was here smiling brightly at none other than Justin Foley. For the first time in a while his body felt lighter, they were gonna be okay.

its only gonna get more heartbreaking from this point on:(

i tag whoever wants to do this!

Can you imagine Justlex being artists and living out their dreams together.

It’s a Sunday morning. Justin and Alex awaken to the bustling life on the street below them. They moved into their apartment together 7 years ago and haven’t looked back since. The apartment’s aesthetic is very retro and vibrant. Their art decorates the walls, adding life and emotion to the place. Alex had the idea in his head that ‘it’s unlucky if we take them down Jus! Since we’ve had those painting’s up life has been amazing!’ Justin knows that Alex just loves these pieces too much to ever sell them.

They’re currently laid in bed together, fighting off the hours of sleep and heavy eyes. Alex draws patterns on Justin’s bare skin as he hums along to the record playing lowly throughout the apartment. A jazz tune that Alex hated forever ago, but has come to love since it was Justin’s favourite. He traces his fingers over every bit of skin that’s exposed to him, the rest of Justin’s body hidden by the duvet.

Alex sighs happily, and thanks a powerful force that his life turned out to be this way. Life for Alex hadn’t always been this peaceful, not until Justin waltz into his life and stole his heart. To Alex, Justin was his soulmate, his passion, his motivation. The nights he spent curled up crying because he hated the way his art turned out, Justin would be there right beside him, whispering comforting words, telling him all the things he loved about his work and how beautiful it was. He was forever grateful that he had met his one true love that he was sure he was going to spend the rest of his life with.

He was so deep in his own mind that he hadn’t realised that his lover was speaking to him.

‘Alex, baby?’ He spoke softly, as he stroked a delicate hand across Alex’s cheek.

‘Sorry love. I was a bit zoned out, what did you say? He giggled as Justin simply rolled his eyes at him.

'I said I wanted to paint you’ he said as he rakes his eyes over his boyfriend’s face.

'Paint a portrait of me or paint my body?’

'Paint your body baby’ Justin gave him the sweetest smile and Alex knew that he wouldn’t be able to resist.

It’s not that Alex hated his body being painted. It’s just that Justin was a bit of a perfectionist so he would have to lay still for hours until his boyfriend was satisfied with the results.

'Anything for you baby’ Alex chuckled and made his way to get up, but not before giving him a peck on the lips.

After grabbing a few pillows he made his way over to the section of the house that had protection on the floor. Alex gently placed the pillows under his body and waited as Justin gathered his supplies.

Once he had what he needed, Justin placed himself between Alex’s legs and got to work.

With every stroke of the paintbrush, he would leave little kisses on Alex’s back, as though he was creating a path with his lips for where the paint was going to go. The tenderness of each kiss had him shivering and smiling with joy. His boyfriend made him feel beautiful.

Admittedly Justin was done way before Alex expected him to be. He only spent a total of 20 minutes sprawled out on the floor. It was the quickest Justin had ever spent creating art on his body.

'I’m done’ he said in an airy, light voice.

'Already?’ Justin just hums and moves to help his lover up from the floor.

'Can I see it?’ Alex asks confused. All he gets in return is a blinding smile before Justin is searching for his phone to take a picture.

He takes a picture of Alex’s back and shows it to his boyfriend. What he sees leaves him shocked.

'Oh my god… Jus’ Alex’s voice trails off, the emotions welling up inside his throat.

'So? What do you say?’ He says apprehensively

'O-of course! Yes!!’ Alex all but screams at him, overcome with emotions.

On Alex’s back were red love hearts and flowers delicately sprawled all over his skin, decorating the words 'will you marry me?’ To Alex, it was the most beautiful piece that he’d ever created.

Justin pulls Alex in for a hug as he begins to bawl his eyes out. He runs his fingers through his boyfriend’s hair as he waits for him to calm down.

Once Alex has calmed down, he looks up at him with the most beautiful smile Justin has ever seen. Before he can get a word out Alex begins peppering his face with kisses, causing him to giggle.

'Jus, I can’t believe you. That was so romantic’ He gushes, smile wide and eyes sparkling.

'I love you so much that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you Alex Standall. I love you, I love you, I love you!’ Alex is now beaming from ear to ear.

Suddenly Justin drops to his knee and presents a beautiful ring to him, the red Jewel shining brightly at Jimin. Red, the colour of love and passion.

This time Alex is full on sobbing, unable to get any words out as tears stream down his face. So wordlessly, Justin takes his small hand and places the ring on his finger.

'Perfect’ Justin whispers in awe. This is it. He’s going to marry the man he loves.

Alex leans forward and kisses Justin like it was their first. There was so much passion placed into the kiss that by the time they broke apart, they were both panting.

'I love you so much, Justin. Thank you for being my soulmate, my light, my life.’ Alex’s voice cracked at the end, a sign that he was going to choke up again.

'Thank you for being my muse. For loving me as I am. Thank you for just being you.’

With that Justin picks him up by the thighs and heads for the bed again. Neither of them cared about the paint that will obviously stain their bed sheets. All they care about in this moment is being with one another. Being able to share this beautiful moment together and basking in each other’s presence. They were in love. They were happy.

- This is one of the first imagines I wrote and it was based around another ship but I wanted to apply it to Justlex. I hope it doesn’t suck too much seeing as it’s literally the first thing I think I wrote ever

a/n: first imagine!! wanted to show my style of writing ig? its not the best, i’ve been stuck on this imagine for days but hope you like it.
(also i prefer everything lowercase oops)

“have you ever sneaked out before?” the question broke the silence in the room, the question that left justin’s lips that cause alex to freeze. the two of them currently sat in alex’s bedroom bored out of their minds. justin staring at the ceiling thinking, and alex playing his guitar softly. 

it was around 10pm when justin had ask if he can stay the night, and since then they haven’t really talked that much. justin didn’t think alex would say yes to him staying the night, considering they weren’t on best terms at the moment. but no one would answer any of justins texts and he had no where else to go. 

no one knew about his home life not even alex. the only ones who knew were jessica, zach and bryce. he’d normally ask them if he can stay at theirs, but zach had plans, jessica was completely ignoring him, and he didn’t really want to see bryce at the moment. alex was the only person left he thought of to go to. 

“why are you asking?” alex asked putting his guitar away. “because i want to know if you have ever sneaked out before?” justin said now staring at the boy. “well maybe, a couple of times,” alex said shrugging. 

“do you wanna do it?” justin asked smiling at alex. “justin you know my dad would kill me.” “but you said you’ve done it before,” justin whined. “so?” alex scoffed. “so whats one more night gonna hurt?” justin said, trying to get alex to do it. 

“he knows you’re here, he’s probably gonna check on us and see what we’re doing,” alex said. “why? is there something he doesn’t want us to do in particular? “ justin smirked. “shut up,” alex giggled. “come on its 11 at night i don’t think you’re dads gonna bother us.” “fine.”

around 11:30pm they stood in front of alex’s opened window. “ladies first,” justin smiled. “then why aren’t you going?” alex smiled back at justin. “whatever.”

alex sighed, as he felt the cool winds brush up against him. yes he has sneaked out before. usually late at night like this, his friends would drive by and give him a text saying that there at his and he’d climb down from his window. then they’d drive to wherever, blasting music out loud with the windows down. but that was at his old town. he has never sneaked out before where he lives now. 

alex stepped out of his window and grabbed onto the side of the window, from there he jumped off and landed onto the ground. he then looked up to see justin do the same as him. right before he jumped off he made sure to shut alex’s window, leaving it a little open for whenever they get back. 

“so where are we going?” alex asked when justin landed on the ground. “you’ll see,” justin said and began to walk away from alex’s, leaving alex to follow him. 

after 15 minutes of them walking around town and alex asking if they’re there yet, they finally made it. 

“you wanted me to sneak out to go to a cliff?” “shut up standall and look,” justin said and walked closer to the edge. “woah,” alex said breathless as he came across the view. “it’s beautiful isn’t it?” justin said shoving his hands into his jacket pockets. “yeah,” alex mumbled, not moving his gaze from the city lights.

it made alex feel at ease, all the shit going on, all the stress, it seemed so small to him now. looking at how small the city looked from where he was standing, nothing mattered. he felt disconnected. 

“i always come here when lifes shitty,” justin said breaking the silence, causing alex to look at him. “is that why you took me here, and asked to stay at my place tonight?” alex asked. 

justin sighed still looking at the city, “my mom, she doesn’t know how to take care of herself. she drinks a lot and gets with a new guy every month. her new boyfriend, he doesn’t like me that much.” “how much?” alex asked surprised justin was opening up to him. “he wants to get rid of me,” justin said not wanting to look alex. 

“he hurts me, and my mom she doesn’t even at least try to stop him,” justin said holding back the tears that are forming. he took his gaze away from the town and looked down at the ground. all the flashbacks and memories replaying in his head.

alex just stared at him feeling pity. justin then took a deep breath and looked at alex. the city lights reflected on justin making his red glossy eyes visible to alex. 

justin chuckled at him, ‘see that broken glass bottle over there?” justin said pointing behind alex. “that was me, last week.” 

alex shoved his hands in his pockets, trying to think of the right words to say. “you don’t have to say anything,” justin said as if it was like he read his mind. alex couldn’t help but look at justin as justin looked at the city. 

“being here makes me feel like nothing matters, everyone from up here look so small, and they don’t matter.” alex then looked away from him staring at the city.

alex still stood there in silence, and it was like that for a minute. they just enjoyed the feeling of the breeze brushing against them, and the sound of cars from below. 

“justin?” alex said looking at him again. “yeah?” “i just want you to know when lifes shitty you have two places to go, here and my place.” justin then looked back at alex. “thank you.” 

alex didn’t say anything, they just continued to look at each other. it was then 11:59pm when alex leaned in and push his lips against justins. 

the kiss was quick once alex realized what he did as he pulled away. but that doesn’t change the fact that justin still kissed back. “i-” alex continued but justin just placed his lips on alexs. 

justins lips molded perfectly with alexs, his lips felt like satin and alex didn’t want to pull away. justin reached his hands out of his pockets and placed them on the sides of alexs face. his lips were like wine and he wanted to get drunk. 

both of their hearts were beating faster than ever. they both could feel the heat and tension as justin sucked on alexs lower lip. 

justin finally pulled away and looked at alex. alex felt hot, he has never been kissed like that before. “thank you,” justin said once more. “you already thanked me,” alex smiled. justin smiled at him and threw his arm around alexs shoulder. 

alex was still smiling as he leaned his head on justins shoulder and they both looked at the town they lived in. “what time is it?’ justin asked breaking the silence. alex grabbed his phone from his pocket. “12:01″ 

i dont even know.
