t-adash-i:

Imagine Alex showing you his power for the first time.

It’s obvious that he’s either nervous or scared, by the way his fingers were shaking as he pressed them to your forearm. “Stay right here…” His blue eyes caught hold of yours, a slight smile donning his cheeks, “Please.” Alex added on deeply, pressing a hot kiss to your forehead, “the last thing I want is you getting hurt.” Tucking back some of your hair, he let a shaky breath out, sliding his leather jacket off his shoulders and putting it on yours. “here.” He whispered, giving you one last glance before jogging a good forty feet from you. 

Watching him intently, you still felt the heat of his lips on your forehead, and his smell lingered closely on his jacket as you pulled your arms through the holes and snuggled into it. He was right to give it to you, for the night was uncharacteristically cold.

Alex moved with a slacked confidence, and you found yourself wondering if he knew how attractive he was, or if the confidence was just a wall he put up to appear emotionally stronger than he was. He glanced over at you, punching his palm softly, “Stay back, okay?”

“Okay, babe.” Giving him a small grin, Alex turned forward and drew a slow, deep breath in. It stung his lungs ever so slightly, for the night time air was chilly. Balling his fists together, he focused. Alex’s body swayed from side to side, front to back, giving you the impression that he was hula-hooping more than anything. That caused you to chuckle, but only for a second before you spotted the red rings encasing his body.

And with one, sharp movement, he was sending them flying forward, splitting one of the innocent trees a few yards away in half. He swallowed, his eyes looking at the tree for longer than needed. Alex was afraid of looking at you now, as if you’d shun him for being so destructive. He prepared for the worst. 

“Holy shit!” You gasped, walking towards him with a rather maniacal laugh. This caught him off guard, his eyebrows furrowing and creating a crease between them. He sputtered, trying to find words. “That was amazing.” Your hand was suddenly on his chest, and you could feel the burn of his bare skin under the fabric of his shirt. “Wow…” 

“Wow as in a good thing or wow as in you’re now terrified of me?” Alex inquired, looking down at the hand that was now tracing on his chest.

“Wow as in holy shit as in… I didn’t know this was the sort of power you had,” You laughed slightly, catching his beautiful eyes. They appeared darker than they were, but that was due to the dim lighting of the park. “When you explained it to me the first time, I thought it was going to be something small…”

Alex chuckled, tossing his head back as he did. The movement of his neck and Adam’s apple distracted you momentarily before he began speaking, “So, you like power?” His lips formed into the smirk you knew all to well, and all you wanted to do was kiss them.

“On the right person.” You replied smoothly, smiling at your boyfriend as he cupped your cheek and beckoned you for a kiss.
