Alex had a massive soft spot for you and it showed. The way he brought you gifts on base, how he offered you his coat if you got cold, everything. He damn near had to contain himself every time you laughed to not grab you by the shoulders and kiss you. You two were a perfect team. Hell, half the time you ended up sleeping in his bed because it was more comfortable. He couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like, just to have you.

He was down bad and he couldn’t help but get a little jealous as another guy talked to you by the pool of the party you and the task force was attending. He watched from a few feet away, frowning lightly. You looked so lovely in the lighting that was sparkling off the water- it hit your eyes just right, making them shine. He was in deep. And now some guy, someone you didn’t know, was trying to chat you up.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want you to be happy, if that’s how you felt with this new- and handsome- stranger. But he wanted you to be happy because of him. So he decided on pouting in the corner and keeping an eye on you. Making sure this guy, who he was under the impression of stealing your heart, was staying in line.
