@elenajones23 asked me these questions literally like a month ago but I wanted to do some research to remember some of the anti-m@lex points and then my mom died so anyway I'm answering them now!
(keep in mind I haven't watched any of s4 yet)
Who do you ship Kyle with? Who do you want him to end up with? And why?
.... I've thought about this a lot. I was an enormous Kylex shipper and still love what they could have been if the show had taken things there. (As soon as I find a non-racist, non-white, actually Native actor to fancast as Alex for edits, I'm sure I'd be crazy about them again.)
Aside from them, I think the last ship I liked him in was either Guerenti or kyle/michael/maria (their one episode killed me). I did like kyliz in the beginning, but now I know they share a sibling it's further down the list.
Do you ship Michael & Maria and do you think they still have a shot of being endgame?
GOD YES i ship them. i may love guertecho, but miluca was my first michael ship that cannot be pried from my hands. That being said, no, I don't think they will be endgame. the m@lex stans are too loud and they've already decided to push maria off onto another side character because the cw hates woc.
Agree or disagree? Alex is TOXIC af and his relationship with Michael is TOXIC af. might seem sweet on the surface but it’s actually toxic just like Ross & Rachel.
... the friends reference made me laugh so much. i also don't like ross/rachel, mainly because of Ross, but I do think they're far different than m@lex. (i think liz/max post s2 finale are more rachel/ross honestly, but that's a different conversation)
as for Alex and by extension m@lex being toxic... definitely agree.
to begin with, Alex refuses or perhaps is incapable of seeing the class privilege he has while Michael grows up in poverty. he tells Michael with no compassion that he has to leave the only home he ever had that wasn't abusive or a literal truck. he constantly demeans michael in s1 for doing what he can to survive and brands him as a dirty criminal that's wasting his life. Whenever Alex talks about his trauma, he's always punching down.
he didn't care what was best for Michael consistently. he stole the part of Michael's ship, ignoring the significance. he guilted Maria after he finds out she slept with Michael, knowing that she didn't know, and knowing that she'd push Michael away for him. All when Alex wasn't sure he truly wanted to be with Michael the entire season? After consistently playing hot and cold?
I think one of the worst offenses to me is that after Michael was reunited with the mother he thought was dead who was then killed less than 15 min later, Alex wanted to trauma dump that same night. Without comforting him and then arguing when Michael said he couldn't talk at the moment.
And Michael knows all of this. It's why he chooses Maria in season one. She's the healthier option and someone who can make him happy without the pain that Alex brings via previous trauma. to quote @dylanobrienisbatman when Michael says love is the worst thing that ever happened to me... "sir, you are an abuse victim."

Michael Guerin Deserves Better Than This Shit
I love both Michael and Alex, and I especially love Malex. I have my crack ships pairing them with other people, but there's no other ship I want more in canon than Malex. That being said, I get really annoyed with Alex stans (I use the word stans instead of fans because they are usually crazy fans who only love Alex and low key seem to hate Michael) who act like Michael is some monster for having dated Maria and like Alex should have been furious with him. Now, I hate Miluca as a ship and Maria DeLuca as a character, so it's not about liking the ship as one of my crack pairings. No, it's all about the fact that for ten years, Alex walked away from Michael. For ten years, Alex broke Michael's heart (I know he had his reasons for his actions and I understand them, but this is still what happened). And for a matter of weeks, Michael dates someone else (because he was not actually with Maria in canon for more than a few weeks and it was, as she said, on a non-exclusive trial basis), and suddenly he's some big bad monster who hurt Alex beyond repair? Sorry, but no. He doesn't deserve to be hated for that. Not when you don't dislike Alex for leaving him over and over again for a decade. You know who Alex should be angry at, though? Maria. He has no right to be angry with Michael for not believing he would stay this time and for trying to move on with someone else (not saying he can't feel hurt, but he doesn't have a right to be angry with Michael the way some stans wanted him to be). But he can be angry with Maria for getting together with Michael after finding out about him being in love with him when she claims to be Alex's best friend. Alex can be angry with Maria all he wants because she was a crappy friend, but being angry with Michael for dating someone else, no matter who that person was, would only make him look like an ass, which is probably why he had no anger toward Michael on the show. The people who think he should be angry with Michael look like hypocrites, especially since many of them happily also ship Alex with Forrest or Kyle or sometimes even Max, Michael's brother. So, what? Only Alex is allowed to be happy with someone else when the love of his life leaves him? Michael just has to suffer? This post is not supposed to be anti Alex. I love him and don't actually think he did anything wrong in canon. What I'm calling out is the behavior of his stans, which is really not cool. Michael doesn't deserve that bullshit, and I think if Alex was a real person, he'd be pissed at anyone who thought Michael deserved for him to be angry with him and to suffer the way some fic writers try to make him.
Also, if you disagree, know you won't change my mind on this, so don't waste your time typing something out to rant at me, okay? I'll probably just delete your reply without finishing reading it. Maria DeLuca stans DNI. Miluca stans DNI. Crazy Alex stans who hate Michael even though that means Alex would hate you, DNI.

Some late-night M*ria D*Luca hate, because why not?
Looking at some of these malex gifs just reminds me of how, with They-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, it was always about her, and what was going on with her, and how she was feeling about whatever was going on, whether it was going on with her or not, and Michael never cared one way or another. He was just there for the ride, you know? Go along with whatever conversation she would bring up, and it always lacked any heart. It's so easy for me to write Michael as indifferent or barely there during that "relationship" because everything he did felt like obligation.
He listened to her because he should, he defended her because he should, he talked to her because he should, and it was always always always about her. She never saw the issue there either. Never realized or cared that everything about their relationship centered around her. That she didn't know him and didn't care to.
Compare that to Alex? Who could see when Michael was struggling with something and wanted to know? Who actually asked and pushed and comforted? They talked about Alex's time in the military, his struggles, his fears, his family - even before they ever dated, and not nearly enough, but they did - and more than anything, they talked about Michael. What did M*ria ever know about Michael? What did she ever care to ask or question?
They wanted to pretend she was some kind of no-nonsense badass, but the only person she ever cared about defending or protecting or being there for was herself. Whenever anything came up, it was always about how it affected her. Alex, on the other hand? Sees Michael acting weird, he's not having it. His no-nonsense badass personality comes into play when the man he loves is threatened or insulted or hurting. He puts his foot down and his pride aside when he has to push past Michael's snark and find out what's bothering him. Why didn't M*ria resonate with people the way Alex did? Why didn't she get the same sympathy? People want to come up with a litany of ridiculous excuses, but the simple truth? She was fucking selfish. Not to say Michael wasn't sometimes, not to say Alex wasn't sometimes, but when it really mattered, Alex showed that his priority was Michael and Michael's feelings. M*ria showed that her priority was herself.
Anyway. Alex deserved more recognition in the show for how much he loved and how strong his love was, and I will never stop pointing it out. I'll write a fic on this soon, but I just wanted to get some feelings out while they were fresh.

Find My Way Back to You
This is a rewrite of a short fic that I had already done. I wanted to go more in depth with the story than just the one section I had already done. This is actually heavily inspired by a vampire diaries scene. This also contains anti miluca!
♡♡♡♡♡
"Honey! I'm home!" Michael shouted, cheerfully entering Alex's house. His brows furrowed when he didn't get the usual answer. Alex's adorable giggle and a soft hello.
Resting his hat on the hat rack Alex put up a few weeks ago, he made his way into the house noticing it was empty. A slight pout rested on his face in disappointment. Working all day he missed his boyfriend. Deciding to wait for Alex to come back, he went to the bedroom taking off his greasy shirt and threw it in the clothes hamper. Instead of grabbing one of his own shirts he keeps here, he grabbed Alex's instead. After slipping it on he noticed a note on the dresser.
[Gone out to dinner with Liz and Maria. There's some left over pasta left if you want it ♡♡-AM]
Michael sighed softly, he forgot about that dinner tonight. Alex was anxious about it all week. Liz and Deluca asked Alex to go to dinner with them to fix their fractured friendship. Alex was hesitant at first but gave in when they didn't stop asking.
Michael completely understands Alex's feelings. After they'd gotten back together Alex let it slip that he wasn't as close with the girls as he once was. Liz because she picked favorites in friendships and he felt used a lot of the time and just wasn't seen or heard. And well with Maria for very obvious reasons. Last year before Alex left Maria reached out to him looking for forgiveness, Alex asked for time and space. But the girls thought he was being ridiculous now. So Alex reluctantly agreed.
Just as he made his way to the kitchen the front door opened and slammed shut. A moment later Alex came storming around the corner, angry and with tears running down his cheeks.
Immediately concern washed over him in a wave, " Alex? What's wrong?"
Alex stopped in his tracks, obviously not expecting him to be there. He shook his head with a soft scoff and went to the kitchen and pulled out a shot glass and poured some whiskey in it.
It took a moment for Michael to catch up. Once he did he followed concerned, "Alex….what happened? Why are you crying and angry?"
" It's nothing."
"Alex, your crying-"
" Michael, just leave it be!" Alex snapped, turning around with angry tears. " I don't want to talk about it."
" Well we should! You come home crying and I'm not supposed to question that!"
" Are you settling for me?"
That stopped him in his tracks. His eyes widened in shock, "What?" He exhaled, feeling like he couldn't breathe.
" Are you with me because you can't be with her? I mean, you did pick her twice. You said we weren't good for each other. You walked outta my song. You didn't want me anymore but then she broke up with you, moved on with Greg and now you want me again." Alex stared deeply at him, shaking and crying.
Michael shook his head, everything hitting him at once. How had he not noticed how Alex had been hurting? Still hurting to this day. Why did he think his actions from last year could simply be erased?
Watching Alex cry and break as he questioned. Being confronted unexpectedly was too much, he could think of anything but guilt. Without properly thinking he walked out of the house and got in his truck and drove.
He drove for what felt like hours until he made it out to a stranded farm with abandoned junk. Getting out, he punched the side of his truck and screamed. A wave of force left him throwing the abandoned junk across the yard. He slumped down now feeling exhaled and empty.
~~~~~
A couple hours later he parked outside of Isobel's place feeling like he put his non-existent tail between his legs. It was the only place that felt right to go for the night. He didn't want to go back to the airstream, it just felt wrong. He was too much of a coward to face Alex yet.
Just as he got out and made his way to the door, the front door crept open. A sigh left him as he entered the house with his head down.
" You're an idiot." She was definitely shaking her head.
" Alex texted you." He stated, plopping down beside her on the couch.
A smack came at his head, " He texted, called, panicked. Despite being pissed at you, he was still worried as hell. And I don't blame him for being pissed either." Isobel scolded him.
" I don't either…. I know I need to talk to him, I just couldn't. I knew I hurt him last year but ... .to be faced right up close and to be called out on it." He sighed, rubbing his face. " I couldn't handle it."
Isobel sighed, muttering, " Idiot"
" I love him so much. Now more than ever." He looked at her sadly. " I just didn't want to break our happy bubble by bringing that stuff up. I was scared if I reminded him of my mistakes then maybe…he'd leave me. And i don't know how to talk about this stuff without making it worse."
An eye roll was the only response he got for a while. Silence didn't feel right coming from Isobel. It felt like getting the silent treatment from a disappointed mother.
"I'm selling this house." She said after a few moments.
He whipped his head up, looking at her amazed, " Really?"
Isobel nodded, " I've realized that I am not the same woman I used to be when I bought it, when I lived in it. It doesn't suit me anymore. Neither do the memories in it. I want a fresh start."
Michael nodded in understanding but not understanding what it has to do with this.
" I've changed. And so have you. You're not the man you were last year. No one is the same person they were the year before or even 10 years ago. I think it's time we let go of what's holding us back and get a fresh start. Same with you. This was supposed to be yours and Alex's fresh start. But that can't happen if stuff is holding you back. Let it go, Michael move on. Trust your instincts instead of your fear." Isobel reached out holding his hand. " You have grown and changed more than anything this past year. More so the past month. Show Alex that."
A smile spread on his lips, as he leaned into her affectionately, " You know love you right?"
Isobel smiled, wrapping her arm around his shoulder, " Yes I do. I love me too."
He scoffed, lightly punching her side.
~~~~
Walking into the house was strange. They hadn't fought since getting back together. Not seriously at least. Because of it there was this weird vibe. The remnants of Alex's words. It left a pit in his stomach.
Looking around he noticed how dark and still the house was. It made that feeling worse. Finding Alex in the bedroom with tears stained on his cheek and red eyes, it made the guilt of running out worse. He wished he had stayed and told the truth right then and there but he couldn't face the pain he caused.
They both have obviously made mistakes, hurt each other in regretful ways. Pushed each other away and were too scared and traumatized to see past certain things. But despite that, they never went to anyone else until Michael did. And that's what makes this different. He knows Alex would never ever go to Max like he did with her. No matter how much it ended up hurting.
"How's Isobel?" Alex spoke softly, not looking away from his book. " She let me know you were there last night."
Michael nodded, watching Alex carefully, "She's…uh good. She's planning to sell her house. Wants to start new, move on from the past. I think it'll be good for her."
Alex nodded, still looking off the side.
Swallowing, he stepped closer into the room, " I think I should do the same."
Alex snapped his head up, looking at him in question, " I..I don't understand-"
Taking a deep breath he moved closer again, "Look, I've made some huge mistakes in my life. Falling in love with you has never been one of them."
Alex blinked surprised. He didn't blame him to be honest, especially after everything the previous year.
" And yes, I once believed we weren't good for each other. I couldn't see past the pain. I wanted to run from everything, including you." He sat on the bed, across from Alex.
" And yes, I did pick Maria once…or twice. I cared for her once. That day outside of my airstream, I picked her. I let you walk away, I let you go." He exhaled, watching tears fill Alex's eyes. " But Alex, I found my way back to you."
The man across from him looked up, surprise written on his face.
" Alex, somehow I always find my way back to you. It doesn't matter what I did before, it doesn't matter what I believed before."
"Michael-"
" It doesn't matter because I'm not that person anymore. I don't care what past me did." He reached out holding Alex's cheeks in his hands like they needed to be protected forever. "Because he's not here anymore, I am. And if…the past is a place without you and me together..then stop living in it."
Alex stared at him in wonder. The rest of the tension left Alex's shoulders as he took in the words and leaned into him more.
Michael leaned his head against his, "Alex, I should have told you this long before but I was scared. I love you, more than anything. Even last year. I'm not the man I was when I made those choices but the man I am today should have never continued to let you believe your less than everything to me. "
Alex whimpered, pulling him into a deep, passionate kiss, gripping him tight.
Michael pulled back once his lips were swollen and numb, and he was out of breath, " I love you so fucking much. Always and forever. It is written in my bones to love you."
Alex let out a wet chuckle, smiling big, "I love you too. No matter what."
He pulled him in smiling and kissed him softly this time, pushing Alex into the pillows behind.

Okay, no you know what? I’m not done. Because I’m already seeing people slamming Alex stans and saying that the show at least “supported” Tyler during this time and while yeah, he wasn’t fired and written off the show if you think his time off came with no repercussions you haven’t been paying attention.
The character that he loved and felt so connected to and was so excited to play, got put in a hole in the ground and forgotten about. His soulmate wasn’t even allowed to miss him, or notice he was gone 90% of the time and spent all his scenes with the new girl who kissed him, or his ex, putting their feet up and chilling. Alex wasn’t even allowed to reach out to his cosmic soulmate!! He had to reach out to Michael’s ex, the woman who literally came between them while since season 1 Tyler’s character has not ever been allowed to be hurt or angry about any of that.
His “friends” didn’t notice he was missing and weren’t allowed to be worried about him either, just called to leave snappy voicemails about him not being there to support THEM when they needed something, and when they DID figure out he was gone, they plotted to keep it from Michael, and when that didn’t work, they actively kept Michael from going after Alex in mean and manipulative ways.
His brothers and mom as far as we know weren’t even told that Alex was missing despite m*ria supposedly still being on speaking terms with her boyfriend Greg.
Tyler poured his heart into this character and this love story and when he was unable to be there, you know Vlamis had his back and would have carried the Malex storyline for both of them, happily! We know he can do glassy eyes over inanimate objects, we know he can deliver feral Michael, we know he can banter with thin air and make us believe he’s having a conversation with “ghost” Alex. But instead of honoring this character and this love story, the character and love story (and fans) were punished with this mess.
Yes, Tyler was unable to be on set and good for him for negotiating his contract to take care of himself. This has never been about him. Remember when I said the emotional beats were big enough that the writers would have to hit some of them by accident and it felt almost purposeful because they had to work to miss all those beats so hard? I hate being right.
#roswell nm#roswell spoilers#roswell nm my behated#roswell nm writers room my beloathed#alex manes#tyler blackburn#malex#anti maria deluca#if you think this storyline wasn't a punishment for tyler and for fans then idk what to tell you#because it's pretty damn obvious

Having to see that disgusting scene on my time line is a crime. Malexa was never a relationship, it was a stupid sex scene that was never mentioned or talked about again. They thought they were being cool and inventive with that scene, but it ended up being worth nothing, and it was a disservice to the character of Alex. Not because he was gay, but because of who he is and everything he confessed to Maria that episode. Just yuck!

I want to add to this post because it is another big thing that others have mentioned too: does Echo even like each other and why? Like sure you can love someone but do you also like them you know as a person? 4x09 sorta did a good job of telling us this because it was pretty clear Echo don't actually like each other (yes I was petty and cackled at the negative back and forth that validates this). Again this isn't me being entirely negative just critical about what we've been given.
Even back in episode 4/5 Liz was just fine with whatever decision Max was making because he's going to make them anyway and that's just how he is... but that's not entirely healthy or shows actual trust just like resigned acceptance. Trust would be knowing that the decision includes the other person instead of some false idea of protecting or handling the issue alone. Time and time again we've seen they really don't trust each other and that's sad. They're supposed to be the main couple and I want the main couple to be untied!
And the thing about if a couple like and love each other: We already know Malex do! We've known since they were teens and actually got together (another telling difference) even after all the drama and them having opposite opinions on certain subjects, they have continued to vouch for each other. It's kinda why Malex works. From the start they've wanted to be together, to build a home together and felt that there was something there (they literally have a word for it) and have learned to trust each other AND work together.
Bottom line: Echo still don't trust each other even after everything when they should've been well passed this because aside from their own decade long longing, we've been shown that they don't even like each other.

The thing about Alex being completely resigned to his inevitable death by radiation poisoning when he knows an alien with magic powers who can literally bring back the dead and a mad scientist who does crazy unethical alien experiments to cure terminal diseases is that he’s still right, neither of those people give enough of a shit to actually save him 🙄

So it cut me off... my whole rant was leading to asking if you'd do a prompt?
If you're willing, I'd love to to see your take on that
Maria deciding her issues are more important than what's going on or just proving how selfish she is
Maybe with Kyle? And isobel or Liz gets mad and Michael wants to know why they're shocked because she's always acted like that especially with Alex so why would it be surprising
@brittz-2123

“Is Alex in?”
Michael blinked, stepping aside as Liz stormed in past him into the house, stomping her way through the narrow hallway and into the living room.
“Good morning to you, too, Ortecho,” Michael sighed, closing the door. “Me? I’m fine, thanks for asking.”
“Sorry,” she huffed, plopping her purse on the sofa cushions and looking around with her hands on her hips. “Hi, how are you? Is Alex in?”
“Nope,” he said. “Ramos called him in on urgent business.”
“What urgent business?”
He smirked. “Deep Sky business.”
“Ah,” she huffed and plopped herself down same as her bag. “So we have no idea what he has to do or when he’ll be back.”
“Well,” his smirk turned to a self-satisfied grin, “you don’t.”
She sneered. “Oh, well, good for you, being married to a top-secret agent. I’m assuming you can’t tell me?”
“Sorry,” Michael leaned back in his seat languidly. “Husband privileges only.”
“Lucky bastard. Meanwhile, at the rate things are going, Max and I won’t even have time to plan a wedding.”
“What do you mean?”
“Maria!” she burst out, shooting to her feet so quickly that Michael would’ve stumbled back if he hadn’t already been sitting. “I mean, God!” she started pacing. “She knows Max and I miss each other, we’ve been engaged for a year and he was on another planet for most of it, and her business plans for the Wild Pony just can’t wait! Every date night, every day off he gets, every spare moment I have, he’s whisked off to help her and I love her, I do, but I can’t take it anymore!”
Michael tilted his head. “And . . . you think Alex can fix this problem because . . .?”
“He’s Alex!” she dismissed. “All you have to do is vent and he figures something out, he’s a problem solver, it’s what he does, you know?” She heaved a long sigh, deflating back onto the couch. “At the very least, I’ll get to vent.”
“He’ll already know,” Michael mumbled, heading to the kitchen and pulling out a pot and tea bag.
“What was that?” she said wearily.
“He’ll already know all about it,” he repeated, turning on the faucet. “I don’t even get why you’re surprised. She’s done this kinda thing before.”
“What kind of thing?”
Michael huffed. He really hated reliving this memory, but how could Liz not see how familiar this was?
“When Alex told Maria about his feelings for me, she ignored that, too, remember?”
Liz straightened. “Th-That was different.”
“You’re right,” Michael nodded. “She doesn’t have a crush on Max, Alex isn’t over there telling her to ignore however uncomfortable you are about it, or pushing him to go for something with her.”
She clenched her jaw. “Don’t do that, Michael. Don’t put the blame on us like you didn’t walk out on him, too.”
“I know what I did,” Michael sighed, the uncomfortable feeling in his chest tightening at the thought of his Alex and the tough conversations they’d had. “But I’ve earned his forgiveness since then. Look,” he shut his eyes, “I’m not good at the whole comforting thing, and I’m definitely not wise enough to give anyone a lecture, but . . . you want to fix this thing with Maria? Do what you should’ve done when she came to you to fix it the first time, and tell her it’s not okay. Tell her some things are a little more important than what she wants.”
She searched Michael’s face as something seemed to click, and she asked, “Does he hate me? For taking sides?”
Michael grinned. “He’s Alex,” he dismissed. “He’s always loved way more than he’s hated.”
Liz expelled a long breath, then nodded to herself and calmly stood.
“Where are you going?”
“To talk with Maria,” she said. “And grab some triple chocolate chip muffins from that bakery down the street. They’re Alex’s favorite, right?”
He chuckled. “You coming back for dinner then?”
“Yeah,” she said, raising her chin as a soft smile tugged at her lips. “Me and Max. I’ll be sleeping over though. I have a sudden urge to have a girls’ night with one of my favorite guys.”
***
Happy malex Monday ❤

I am an Alex person first and a Malex shipper distant second and to this day it annoys me that 1x10 is considered Alex walking away again. If s4 is doing something semi-decently on the Malex front (and this might 100% be an accident that the show never intended) it's finally acknowledging that Michael has NEVER been all in with their relationship. He's JUST getting to that point now, and Alex had to be literally underground for that to happen. A lot of the s1 defense of Michael hinges on people acting like Malex could have started a satisfactory relationship if only Alex physically stayed present at some point past high school as if s1 Michael didn't keep 90% of his life a secret from him until he was forced to share and as if trying to leave the actual planet his entire life doesn't immediately trump any but 'Alex walked away x times' arguments. For three seasons, Alex had to do all the work (even after s2) in their relationship, and now, we couldn't even get one season where Michael has to pick up the slack. Yes, I am fully aware that s4 treats Michael as an abuse survivor like shit, and it's gross, but he's still massively failing Alex one last time, and it's just going to be handwaved in 4x11/4x12, whenever Alex is found, like nothing happened.
YOU! You get it!! *pins an Alex Manes Defense Squad badge on your person*
This is exactly what hurts me the most. This was supposed to be a soulmates story, a 10-years-apart-couldn't-diminish-their-love-story, the kind of cheesy bs that I was really excited to see in mlm version, y'know? But for all of Michael's talk of never looking away, canonically it's only Alex who never did (the extent of his 'relationship' with Forrest was a few dates, sex and thinking about maybe asking him to be exclusive - a far cry from falling in love and being as or more happy than in a relationship with his soulmate). S2 tarnished the soulmates story (not just that M*luca happened, but how it happened, how it ended and what Michael did after) and s3 somehow played it off as if it was still Alex who had to show his commitment and devotion to win Michael back until Michael finally decided to trust his heart to him again??? Either the character-s1-storylines-in-permament-marker theory is true or it was another case of the writers going Everything is Alex's Fault so clearly Alex had to do all the work to bring Malex together, even though the last he heard from Michael was that he didn't love him, he liked M*ria and no longer saw them as having a future together?????
But it's fine. The Michael Guerin that lives in my headcanon and loves Alex Manes with all the force of s1 metaphors and Vlammy's heart eyes, he would never. He's a little shit, a hot mess and equally culpable in his own relationship problems as his soulmate, but he's allowed to be as ride-or-die for him as he wishes and also to acknowledge and fix his mistakes.

Malex Monday fic.
*anti Maria Deluca*
Michael doesn't sit on a bar stool and act like things don't matter!
Alex was feeling good, fantastic actually. He and Michael are finally an official thing, their solid. They defeated Jones and now he's dead. All threats are done and over and now they're celebrating.
Isobel called them to the Wild Pony the day after his and Michaels first date. They were going to decline and spend time alone at his place but Isobel insisted, saying they all need to let loose together and celebrate. So they accepted and met everyone there.
He hadn't been that close with everyone lately, only Michael, Kyle and recently Max a bit. But he and Isobel hadn't really connected much. Rosa hasn't really spoken to him since returning from the grave. His friendship with Liz fell into an actual grave after she picked favorites and how she treated him last year. And well him and Maria, that friendship is dead, he just can't get past the things she did last year and he shouldn't have to. He felt like an odd man out for a long time.
But tonight he didn't feel that way, with Michael, Kyle and strangely Dallas and Heath there they made him feel belonged and included. They've been playing a few rounds of pool for a while now with Dallas and Michael kicking each other's asses.
Alex smiled watching them, he could see a good friendship here. One Michael could really use. Maybe even Dallas. He doesn't know much about the man but he's already a wonderful addition to the group.
After yet another round of Michael winning, Michael shouted happily, going over to him and planting a kiss right on Alex's lips like he's done each time he wins.
Alex laughed against the kiss, laying a hand on his cheek.
Dallas laughed, admitting defeat, " one of these days imma kick your ass and you'll be paying for the next round"
" Nope!" Michael claimed, wrapping an arm around Alex's waist, " we'll be wrinkled and in diapers before that ever happens, Alex will be pushing me in a wheelchair"
Alex laughed as Dallas shook his head laughing, " I'll beat your ass with my cane then if you win at that age"
Michael raised his glass with a smirk, "I'd like to see you try grandpa"
Alex laughed, grabbing the cue from Michael" alright old men, calm yourselves before you pull a muscle. Also step aside it's mine and Heath's turn "
Michael let it go in his grip, leaving a kiss on his cheek making Alex blush and smile. He's still not used to the pda but he's getting there, even loving it so much to have Michael hold, kiss, show him with affection in public.
Heath took the cue stick from Dallas, " I haven't played since college so you'll probably easily kick my ass, especially since your boyfriend is clearly a pro"
Alex smirked smuggly, restarting the game for them. Michael pulled out a coin for them to flip when Isobel called them to the bar for a toast.
Michael groaned " come on Izzy my boyfriend was about to beat Heath's ass"
Isobel waved a hand, pouring a line of shots for all other them, " Michael! We get it, he's your boyfriend now! Now get over here"
Michael groaned, grabbing Alex's hand pulling him along with him as Heath and Dallas followed.
Isobel handed out the drinks to everyone as they gathered around the bar as she stood behind it with Maria.
Michael had his arm wrapped Alex tight, vibrating to get back to play pool.
As soon as Max and Liz joined from the corner they huddled into and had their shots in hand, Isobel spoke up loudly and drunkish.
" A toast to another glorious alien defeat! A toast to our glorious friendship, old and new! A toast to new friendships and romantic relationships! A toast to Liz being back, to Maria's amazing recovery and to Max being the only one with that face again" Isobel announced raising her glass.
Everyone laughed and clicked their glasses. Before anyone took their shots Maria spoke up, " and a toast to Guerin finally getting off a bar stool and acting like things matter "
Everyone laughed except Alex, Michael and Dallas.
Dallas looked confused as he slowly down his shot. Michael chuckled faintly then took his shot, trying to hide the hurt in his eyes. And Alex was furious.
How did any of them find that funny? How did they miss the hurt clearly on Michael's face?
Alex could feel Michael's body tensed against him while he pretends like the 'joke' didn't hurt him. But he couldn't fool Alex like he fool everyone else. It honestly pisses him off that they all are completely unfazed by it. That they all laugh at a completely untrue statement.
Without thinking the words left his mouth, " What the fuck?"
Everyone quieted down and turned to him confused and shocked. Michael however was surprised, like he knew what the meaning behind it was for and that it surprises him that someone said something. That made him even angrier.
Michael eyes shifted nervously, " Alex -"
" No" Alex stopped, he wasn't going to let Michael defend this. " That comment wasn't okay, that's not a joke. And it's completely uncalled for."
Maria scoffed, rolling her eyes, "come on Alex, lighten up. It was just a joke and… besides it's not like it's a li-"
" Actually it is a lie," he interrupted again. He was in no mood to hear some bullshit excuses. " And that is not a joke by the look on Michael's face. That hurt him. So it's clear it's not the first time you've said it to him"
Liz stepper forward trying to calm the situation, " Alex it's just an innocent joke, we all thought it was funny"
Alex scoffed, raising a brow. " Not all of us. If you guys actually paid attention you would've noticed Michael's hurt. But you weren't, your all just praising the queen"
Maria stood up straight now, clearing agitated " would you just sh-"
" Nope" Alex interrupted again harshly this time. "Michael doesn't just sit at a bar stool and do nothing. And you all know this"
Liz looked around uncomfortably, shifting, " Alex look-"
"No"
Maria huffed rolling her eyes, she honestly looked like a brat not getting her way. " Alex you can't just attack everyone because you have a delusional version of Michael in your head that no one else sees"
" You're so full of shit Maria. You're seriously so ungrateful. This isn't some delusional version of Michael. Michael is one of the most caring, loving people I've met. And you're just too delusional to see that" Alex said, upset that they were trying to shut him up, he wasn't just going to stand there and let them hurt Michael and get away with it.
Maria snorted like what he said was completely ridiculous. " Michael's destructive, he lies and breaks-"
" Maria enough!" Alex snapped, "Michael is none of those things. He has a hard time sometimes but that has never stopped him from taking care of the people around him. He saved my life multiple times, from my father twice and from my brother and Hellen Ortecho. He took the fall for a murder he did not commit for a decade and never complained once just so he could protect Isobel. He built a damn alien heart pacemaker that brought his brother back and is keeping him alive as we speak. He protected Liz like she's his own family. And Kyle when he was in danger even though Michael acts like he hates him. And he sure as hell has protected and taken care of you. He was there for you when you were attacked by Noah, he supported you through the mess with your mom, took care of you with your powers and he saved your life multiple times as well. The only problem here is you not appreciating that and wanting to find any problem with him like he's done something wrong to you. He hasn't. You need to grow the hell up. Stop talking crap about him all over town, stop yelling at him, and show him some damn respect for once because last year without him you're dumbass would have ended up dead. I'm sick and tired of you getting away with do stupid selfish shit while you belittle Michael all the time." Alex shouted angrily. Maybe he went a bit overboard but he didn't care honestly, if none of them were going to stand up for Michael he would.
Alex down his shot finally, then slammed it on the bar, looking up at them challenging them to say something against him. None of them did. They looked horrified and ashamed. Dallas looked impressed and a bit proud. Max looked proud too, like something he's known for a long time just had been proven. Michael looked blank, just blinking surprised.
An uncomfortable feeling filled him, twisting his gut. Telling him he did something wrong.
Alex shifted uncomfortably grabbing his coat, looking anywhere but them, "just thought you guys should know"
Before anyone can say anything he left, bolted out of there like jackrabbit.
God what was he thinking, it's obvious Michael didn't want him defending him. Also he probably just isolated himself even more than before now. Maria is their beloved bar tender, they fond all over her, praise her, protect her, he's just the guy on the outside. They're probably going off on how awful all that was and that Michael needs to get his boytoy under control or worse break up with him.
He didn't even realize he was crying until the tears hit his mouth, gasping he wiped them away. Alex walked up to his car door, trying to find his keys in his jacket ignoring how freezing it was.
He finally found them unlocking the door with a clock of a button, he laid a hand on the door prepared to open it when a hand grabbed his arm and whipped him around. Facing Michael now, before he could react Michael pounced on him, kissing him deeply.
Alex's brows raised, surprised, gasping against his lips, clenching Michael's arm. Michael kept his lips locked on Alex's backing him up against the car door, reaching up and threading his fingers through his hair, clenching tight.
His confusion washed away, kissing Michael back, holding his face in hands. Michael's wrapped around his waist, pulling him in close, deepening the kiss.
Alex slipped out a moan, tightening his grip on Michael.
Time went by sharing messy kisses against the door. When Michael finally pulled away, resting his head against his, Alex gasped for air but also to keep his tears under control.
Michael ran his fingers along his cheek and jaw staring deeply into his eyes with the same look from a few days ago on his couch. The look he had when he told Alex he's home. Alex's tears finally fell as he swallowed down a sob.
Michael quickly swept them away, replacing them with kisses.
Alex shook his head, " you're not angry at me?"
Michael smiled softly, with his own tears now filling his eyes, " no. Baby… that… that was the first time anyone has ever stood up for me like that."
Tears fell from his cheeks then and Alex did the same he did for him. Swept them away and replaced them with kisses.
"Michael, you didn't deserve to be treated like that. I just… couldn't stand for it" Alex said, hating the way Michael never expected someone to defend him like that. He deserved better than that.
Michaels face scrunched up trying to keep his tears back, he sniffed deeply as tears fell. Alex caressed his cheek, comforting him.
"I didn't think I deserved better before" Michael admitted tearfully, " I was always told I was broken… destructive, dangerous. That I was going to fail and never succeed…. I was told that for so long, I didn't believe I deserved better. So… I never stood up for myself. I never stood up when people belittled me or thought less of me. And….it.."
Michael seemed to struggle with getting the rest out as he choked on tears. Alex wrapped his arm around his tighter, using his other hand to rub circles over his cheek comfortingly.
"Michael, you don't have -"
"It's makes last year so much worse" Michael interrupted, choking on tears, hiccuping, " I was a mess last year, making dumb, irational choices. I hurt you the worse and now you're here defending me against the person that I broke your heart with. Alex I am so sor-"
" Hey no" Alex took a hold of his face, kissing him, " Michael that is in the past now. We are not who we were last year. Last year hurt, it broke my heart and killed me. But with everything that has happened the past week between us has helped heal that. There will be moments where I struggle with the pain I went through but I will fight through that to have you. Michael I don't want you apologizing. And you do deserve to be defended. None of what she has said about you now or then is okay. She doesn't just get to belittle you like that. "
Michael clinged onto him tightly, lip quivering, " Alex it's fine honestly. She has her own views and -"
" No baby, just no" Alex caressed his face gently, " Michael, you are so much more than what she views. Your a genius, stronger, brave, so fucking care and with so much compasity for love it amazes me. You fight for and take care of the people you love no matter the cost. You are not some destructive town drunk, that doesn't care about people. And I love everything bit of you, even the stubborn macho cowboy part…. He is very sexy actually."
Michael's smile grew as he blinked away tears, he leaned and kissed him. " Really, even that part. I guess it really never got old then"
Alex scoffed playfully, shaking his head " oh hell no. Never did. Never will in fact"
Michael smiled, light returning to his eyes. Alex leaned his head against Michael's, running his fingers through his hair.
Michael hummed happily, holding Alex tight to him. After a few moments he pulled back, wiping the few stray tears left away. " Let's get home. I don't really want to see any of them right now. I wanna be with you, in a safe place…all night. And for….. the rest of our lives."
Alex smiled nodding, giving him a kiss. Michael kissed him back then hesitated going to the otherside of the car.
" What is it?"
Michael looked at him for a while, turning something over in his head.
" I love you…. It's you Alex. It's always been you" Michael said with so much love and sincerity.
Alex smiled big, " I love you… it's been you always and forever."
Michael smiled " I know, I always knew "
