He can't be vegan for a day, let alone going VOGF for a week. Although he didn't blame Jayden because that was probably the only way out of that situation. 

The others are "not to disturb their VOGF self-discipline sessions", and Ms Smiro made double sure of that. 

On the bed and somewhat bored, Alex sat feeling the warmth of the heater. He found the map of the local area they had printed out at the local library, and began planning the scouting route he'd take later tonight. 

"We can eliminate these houses," he said, crossing out the ones with open parking spaces. "And I can check if Christina might be hiding in these houses just by a glance through the backyard fence."

He heard Jayden coming in the room.

"Shut the door Pajamas."

Jayden did, and threw the recipes Ms Smiro gave him onto the table. He had spent the rest of the day with her, discussing VOGF deliciousness. Jayden had kindly turned down her offer, but she insisted. Now that's over, he turned to Alex.

"Why do you have to go ahead and say that?!!" Jayden shouted in a whisper to Alex, after sealing off the room from the hall way. "You know, telling everyone about the kiss."

"What? You wanna take a kiss back?" He said while getting up to face Jayden. "C'mere Pajamas I'll give it back to you," He pouted his lips.

"No!" Jayden said, turning to the side. "It wasn't even a real "romantic" kiss."

He paused.

"I'm not gay okay? Well, at least I'm pretty sure I'm not..." Alex walked up to look at Jayden in the eye, but Jayden turned around to avoid his gaze once more. "I don't know... I can't control myself when it comes to these things...."

He paused... this time for a bit longer.

"I can't stop myself when I look at you. It's just a reflex and I don't know why."

He's so innocent. Alex thought to himself. "It's okay. Don't worry about what other people thinks hey. Cause I'm here with you," he affirmed Jayden in his coarse voice, which Jayden painfully admited to himself was somewhat soothing. Still he flinched away when Alex opened his arms to embrace him.

"No, I need some fresh air," he said walking out the room, leaving Alex by himself. "And don't chase me down this time," His voice said as he vanished behind the closing door.

"and really that's quite easy to clean once you let it sit for-"

Alex turned the TV off when he noticed it was still on. Now the room was empty except for the low humming of the heater.

"AUMF!"

He collapsed onto the bed. The edge of it was warmed by said heater in the middle of the room, but the other edge was cold from the chilling seaside breeze that crept in from a hole in the wall. 

Part cold, part hot.

He wondered if he was turned on by this stark contrast. The fall of his body shook the bed such that the sheets stacked near the pillow collapsed onto his face.

"Sometimes you're nice, sometimes you're like this." His voice quietened by the fabric over his face.

mmmh Jayden's bed. He thought as he sniffed for traces of Jaydens scent. He growled lightly when he realised there wasn't an opportunity for Jayden to sleep in it yet. Tomorrow, I'll be getting with you tomorrow. He thought, telling himself to wait patiently. He didn't know how much his patience could hold out without Jayden, that is, if there hadn't been that well-timed knock on the door.

A walk on the promenade by the seaside was not so bad for distraction. Jayden couldn't help but let the occasional echoes of seagull screeches be mistaken as Alex calling out to him. He had to turn around to check that Alex was, disappointingly, honestly not chasing him this time.

Jayden ducked into the nearest shop when he noticed another group walking past. This time it was Mrs Joannah leading her own group of students back from the seaside. He was at a T-intersection and from the other way he noticed Mr Vlaski with his group also heading this way. It seems that they are assigned to a joint stay at a camping area.

The assignments were different in price, camping being the cheapest. The last group that hasn't yet been encountered would have been lead, most likely by Miss Geumseo at the local 3 star hotel. 

"Hey are you gonna get a massage or what?" The man at the register said, with a light accent. "We're closing up in 20 minutes."

Jayden checked outside. The teachers seemed to be catching up with regards to their daily activities and doesn't seemed to be leaving.

-cause you're hot and you're cold-

The cashier began blasting the radio back on, for his new customer.

"Ehh, I'll grab the special," he said, referring to a sign at the back that caught his eye, thinking it was advertising a special price. 

Boy was he wrong.

 "Oooo you like spicy girl late evening, I get it!" the shop owner said. He saw the mistake he made the moment the attendant opened his mouth. Or in this case the mouth of the girl that came over when the attendant called. "Danielle! SPECIAL CUSTOMER SERVICE!!"

But Danielle was no normal girl. She was upon closer examination, some guy, who was probably named Daniel, in a dress. You could tell quite easily because this "Daniel" must work out quite alot, outside of his prostitution hobbies.

Part male, part female.

"No thank you." He said, walking out. "Sorry I got the wrong place." He evaded the flirting Danielle before swiftly entering a nearby McCrondles so as to keep his position hidden.

"I GOT YOU" From inside the blanket Jayden felt Alex's arms around him.

"Agh let me out." Jayden said, his arms bound to his side with the sheets wrapped around him. The sheets were Alex's Valentine's gift from yesterday.

"Not before you confess!" Alex said.

"Fine," Jayden sighed. "I told every one who left you a love letter that you were taken.

"And?"

"And when they asked who it was I told them... that it was me his childhood crush."

"And?"

Jayden hesitated.

"....And when they said you can't be gay I told them you sleep with me every night and told them to get off my boyfriend."

"That's right." Alex said, gnawing on Jayden's shoulders from behind. "You know how much I love you don't you?"

"As many times as the sheets in this house had been washed," he said, tilting his head to the side so his hair wouldn't prick Alex. "Speaking of which," he said, sniffing the sheet. "Did you put this one in the washer this morning?"

"Nope," Alex said, biting on Jayden's tattoo. "But it'll definitely be needing a wash, in about 20 minutes."

"I dunno", Jayden said, "Your detergent seems to speed things up."
