Starr pushed open the door to the locker room, stopping when he saw Alex and Kevin on the couch, making out hot and heavy. He frowned, setting his bag down and continuing into the room. "Hey guys," he greeted, hoping to disturb them, "should I get out the camera?"

Much to his chagrin, the couple ignored him. Alex was straddling Big Sexy's lap, Kevin's arms locked around Alex's waist as they made out. A beeping emanated from Kevin's bag shortly, causing Alex to draw back just enough to get out a few words between kisses.

"Kevin - your - phone," Alex managed to say.

"S'my alarm," Kevin murmured, his hands trailing up and down Alex's back. "Meeting. Mmm. Fuck it."

Alex pulled back, grinning as his lover tried to pull him into another kiss. "Go, Kevin. I'll be here, waiting for you."

Kevin grumbled, stealing another quick kiss, then moving Alex off of him and clambering to his feet. "Fine," he muttered, grabbing his bag and heading for the door. "But you keep your sweet ass right here."

"I will." Alex grinned, blowing his lover a kiss as Kevin left the room. Once Kevin was gone, his eyes turned to Starr. "Hey," he greeted, smirking at the other man.

"Thanking him for giving you the clap?" Starr shot.

Alex rolled his eyes. "He apologized for that. It was a joke, everyone knows that." He reached into a bag by the couch, pulling out a box and showing it to Starr, caressing the package. "Look what he got me!" Alex gushed, grinning broadly. "The new Nintendo! And - " He reached into the bag again, pulling out several games and waving them at Starr, "These!" He grinned, looking down at the Nintendo and sighing happily.

"Are you serious?" Starr shook his head. "You think that proves he loves you?"

Alex slid the Nintendo carefully back into the bag. "You know how much this stuff costs?" he demanded. "You think he'd spend that kind of money on making me happy if he didn't care about me?"

"Money doesn't have anything to do with love," Starr replied.

"Right." Alex crossed his arms over his chest, leaning back against the couch and narrowing his eyes at Starr. "Well, you should thank your lucky stars that he did make that tasteless joke, because you did a great job using it to get me into bed. I wouldn't have fallen for your fake romance crap if I wasn't pissed at Kev."

Starr snorted. "You are something else, Alex."

Alex glared at him defiantly. "I'm not gonna fall at your feet like you clearly expect men to. And Kevin's not as much of a sucker as you think. He loves me, and he might want to fuck you, but he's about done waiting for you. You can only use someone for so long before they wise up."

"Oh really?" Starr had to bite his tongue before he said something that would really put Alex on the defensive. He sighed, standing and heading for the door. "You know, fine. You believe that. I got this for you, by the way." He pulled a rose out of his bag, tossing it onto the floor and stomping out the room.

Alex frowned after him. He hesitated a moment, then stood and scooped up the rose. He returned to his seat on the couch, turning the rose in his fingers and inhaling its scent. "That is so lame," he stated hollowly, a small smile creeping over his face as he fingered a pedal of the rose.

"Kevin!"

Kevin, fresh out of the meeting, turned as he heard his name called. "Hey, Starr." He grinned as the smaller man walked up to him, slipping an arm around his waist.

Starr gazed into Kevin's eyes, murmuring, "How's it going?"

"Good, good." Kevin reciprocated Starr's gesture, wrapping his big arm around Starr's slim body. "You?"

"Well - " Starr licked his lips, his eyes raking up and down Kevin's body. "Why don't I show you?"

Kevin grinned, refraining from saying what he was thinking; 'About damn time'. "I wish you would," he growled, following Starr down a deserted hallway. Starr glanced around, making sure no one could see them slipping into a small closet off the hall. Once they were alone in the dark, he pulled Kevin down into a kiss. Kevin's hands were instantly groping his ass, taking free reign. Starr pulled back after a moment, sinking down to his knees.

"Oh yeah," Kevin murmured, his fingers sliding into Starr's hair. Starr mouthed him through his jeans for a moment, then pulled the zipper down, inching Kevin's pants down to his thighs. Kevin's hardening cock sprung out, pressing against his cheek. Starr took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and dived in.

Alex looked up expectantly as the door opened, surprised to see Kevin walk in with Starr, his arm wrapped affectionately around the younger man's waist. "Hey babe," Kevin greeted, leaning down to give Starr a kiss. "Hook up that Nintendo yet?"

"There's no tv," Alex stuttered, pouting when Kevin stayed with Starr instead of returning to him.

"No?" Kevin glanced around. "I'll round one up. You should test that baby out." He gave Starr another kiss, earning him a glare from Alex that he didn't even notice. "We've got time for a round of something before Impact." He turned back to the door, his arm still securely around Starr's waist. "C'mon baby, let's go find a tv," he murmured to Starr, kissing him again before they headed out.

Alex scowled at the door. He snatched up the rose Starr has given him, casting it onto the floor and stomping on it. "Bitch!" he shouted to the air.

“Hey!”

Austin found himself harshly shoved against the lockers. He spun around, finding Alex glaring at him furiously. “Who’s the slut now?” Alex growled. “You accuse ME of being a slut, then you’re ALL OVER Kevin again! What the hell?”

“Alex,” Austin said softly, “a blowjob in a closet was all it took for your man to go from doting on you to hanging off me. THAT’S how much he loves you.”

Alex threw his hands up in the air. “No, THAT’S how much he loves his dick! He’s a man! And he’s MY man, so I want you to back the fuck off!”

Austin met his angry gaze without flinching. “No,” he refused. Alex growled, about to launch into a further rant when Austin spoke again. “I’m not trying to take KEVIN away from YOU, Alex,” he stated, his words carefully enunciated.

Alex swallowed, unable to look away from Austin’s intense gaze. “I – I’m happy with Kevin,” he choked at last.

“He’s certainly happy with you.” Austin’s voice was harsh, yet had a caring edge. “A pretty, willing boy at home who lets him fuck whoever he pleases.”

“It’s not like that!” Alex swallowed hard, blinking back angry, confused tears from his eyes. “It’s you he’s fucking, you slut!” He went to slam Austin against the lockers, but Austin caught him up in his arms, capturing him in a kiss. Alex gave in for just a moment, the sweet connection overtaking his whirling anger. Then, he shoved Austin away, turning and practically bolting from the room.

He hung around the locker room, praying that the other two would leave. Finally, the door opened, and the creepy uber-blonde and black-haired guys left. Alex rushed in, hoping the Raven wouldn’t show up any time soon. Johnny Devine glanced up, looking surprised to see his former boss from Paparazzi Productions.

“Hey Johnny.” Alex flopped onto the couch beside the blonde, taking a deep breath. “Listen, I – I wanted to apologize for the whole firing you thing.”

Johnny eyed him, looking nonplussed. “Raven’s teaching me to appreciate anguish and injustice,” he replied simply.

“Right, that whole Serotonin thing. Man has Bentley gotten creepy!” Alex cleared his throat, glancing at Johnny’s black-streaked hair and the black bar painted over his eyes. “Uh. But that’s cool.” He ran a hand through his hair. “The thing is, I kinda need to bounce something off a non biased person. I was hoping you could – well, tell me what you think.”

“Sure Alex. I’m always happy to spread the counsel of the Redeemer,” Johnny stated.

“Ok.” Alex took a deep breath. “Well, you know how it is with me and Kevin.”

“Oh, I know. Open but together.”

“Right. And it’s been great, but then Starr showed up,” Alex explained.

“Alex, aren’t you used to him sleeping with other guys?” Johnny stated directly. “Starr’s just his passing fancy. Hell he fired me ‘cos I kept telling him not to grab my ass.”

“Oh.” Alex hadn’t really noticed Kevin going after Johnny, as they were having sex constantly at the time. But then, they were still having sex all the time, and Kevin was going after Starr. “But, this is different,” he replied. “I slept with Starr.”

“Really.” Johnny’s eyebrows rose. “You never slept with me, despite how I tried.”

“He, uh, surprised me,” Alex muttered sheepishly. “But I think he really wants me, Johnny. I thought at first he wanted to steal Kevin, but he wants *me*! Although he blew Kevin ,and why the hell would he do that if he wants me?” He took a deep breath, shaking his head.

“Do you want him?”

Alex blinked at the question, frowning. “I don’t know,” he muttered. “Kevin’s my man, I’m with him.”

“Loosely.” Johnny commented, earning himself a glare. “Does Starr just want more sex, or…”

“Yes. Or.” Alex fanned a hand through his brown and blonde highlighted mop. “He was real romantic, the second time we had sex.”

“You said he surprised you.” Johnny fixed Alex with a look.

“Well, it was surprising!” Alex shrugged. “He keeps telling me that Kevin treats me badly, which is so not true! He just bought me a Play station!”

“Material possessions are meaningless,” Johnny stated.

“They are not!” Alex frowned. “If that’s true, I guess the rose Starr gave me means nothing too!”

“He gave you a rose?” Johnny smiled, the sweetness of the expression at odds with his slightly creepy appearance. “That’s so sweet. I wish I’d tried that, if that got him into your pants.”

“It was after!” Alex huffed. “So you think it’s just about sex, then? He wants another roll in the hay?”

“Well it tends to be the first one that guys romance for.” Johnny fingered the edge of his black kilt, shrugging. “Does he want a threesome?”

“I don’t think so.” Alex sighed deeply. “I don’t know what to do, Johnny! I wanna punch him for blowing Kev, the bitch. And I went to do just that, but he…” Alex found his cheeks growing hot at the memory, “…he kissed me, and it was so…” He grasped for words. “I don’t know what it was, but it was.”

“So you do like him.” Johnny smiled, patting Alex’s knee. “How was the sex?”

“Hot. Seriously hot,” Alex answered without hesitation.

“Alex, why don’t you just chill out and see where it goes?” Johnny offered. “You’re not married to Kevin; if Starr wants you and you want him, go for it.”

“But I’m with Kevin!” Alex insisted.

“So you’re committed to Kevin?” Johnny pushed.

Alex sat back against the couch, crossing his arms and pouting slightly. “I wouldn’t say ‘committed’, exactly,” he muttered. “He’s just…my guy. I don’t know.”

“Well, Alex, if you really - ” Johnny’s voice cut off as the door opened, Raven striding into the room. Alex was a little surprised to see how his friend lit up at the sight of the other man. He saw Johnny start to get up, then quickly sit again, and realized for the first time that Johnny’s left wrist was actually handcuffed to the couch.

“Uh, I gotta go,” he said quickly, standing and heading for the door.

“You’re welcome to stay,” Raven purred, advancing on Johnny and taking the spot Alex had vacated. Alex swallowed as Raven yanked Johnny onto his back, chaining his free wrist above his head with the first, then sliding Johnny’s kilt up to reveal one creamy thigh. “You could watch, maybe learn something.”

“Nah, I really gotta go.” Alex shivered, rapidly exiting the room. “Freaky shit,” he muttered as he headed down the hall.

“Once again, feel free to kiss the winner,” Kevin announced. Starr stood preening over his victory in musical chairs, puckering his lips jokingly at the other X boys. Alex cocked his head, considering. Kevin had seen him with Starr, but that had been initiated by Kevin. Kevin had never seen him go after another man, and he was curious how his lover would react. He hadn’t come to any decision on the Starr issue, following Johnny’s advice and waiting to see what developed.

He moved quickly, wrapping his arms around Starr’s neck and pulling him into a hot kiss. Starr’s hands settled onto his hips, the flamboyant man eagerly returning his kisses. They made out for several moments, the other boys whistling and cheering them on. Starr was grinning when Alex drew back. Alex glanced at Kevin, expecting jealousy, but instead finding a smile.

“Now that’s the spirit!” Kevin exclaimed, giving both Starr and Alex’s asses a squeeze. “Jay, if you win the next one, that’s the kind of effort I want to see!” Jay rolled his eyes, frowning when Kevin pinched his ass. Sonjay frowned at Kevin as well, patting his friend on the back and whispering something in his ear. Jay nodded, and the two headed off down the hall.

“Well,” Alex stated, taking Starr’s hand in his. “I guess I’ll just go back to the locker room, with Starr.”

“You have fun, baby.” Kevin gave him a quick kiss on the lips. He picked up the camcorder, shutting it off. “I gotta bring this to the production truck and get it edited before we air.” He winked at them, then strode off down the hall.

Starr pulled his hand away from Alex’s once Kevin was gone. “Real subtle, Alex,” he commented. “Nice test.”

Alex’s eyes raked over Austin’s body. He was legitimately turned on from that kiss, and he wanted more. “Does this feel like a test?” he growled, grabbing the front of Starr’s shirt and pulling him into a hard kiss. Starr murmured his approval, pulling Alex’s hips against him. Alex cold feel the other man’s arousal, and he liked it. He grabbed Starr’s hand, leading him quickly to their locker room.

The sex was hot and frantic, on a couch in the locker room. Alex had been partly worried, partly hoping that Kevin might walk in, but that thought had been forgotten the second Starr was on top of him. It was still far from his mind, as he lay beneath Austin, sharing tantalizing kisses with him in the aftermath.

Austin drew back, gazing at him with a look that made Alex's throat feel tight. "Spend the weekend with me?" Austin whispered.

"Hmm?" Alex had to steal another kiss, his mind still lingering on the amazing sex they had just had.

"Spend the weekend. With me," Austin stated, giving him another sweet kiss. "We'll go to my house. Just you and me."

Alex blinked at him. "I'll have to ask - "

"No." Austin cut him off with a kiss. "Do you want to spend the weekend with me?" His sincere gaze locked on Alex.

Alex took a deep breath, licking his swollen lips. "Ok," he whispered.

Austin beamed, pulling Alex into a hot kiss. Alex murmured his approval, arching his hips against Starr. They wrapped their arms around each other, both closing their eyes as their passion took over once more.

"You know what else I like?" Austin murmured.

Alex was leaning back against Starr, happily ensconced in the other man's arms. They were settled together on the couch, having arrived early for Impact. "What?" he questioned lazily. He had spent the entire weekend with Austin, and at the moment all his sense seemed to be blissfully satiated. They had made love over and over, and had talked, and cuddled, and wrestled, and even romanced. Austin had cooked an entire meal for Alex, albeit slowly, due to Alex's constant interruptions for kissing and petting. Still, the candlelight dinner had been like something out of a fairy tale, and they had the sweetest sex afterward. Alex felt like he was on cloud nine, especially after the relaxing massage Starr had given him upon their arrival at the Impact Zone.

"I love the way you look up at me when you're going down," Austin whispered, kissing Alex's bare shoulder, "so I can gaze into your eyes the entire time. It makes you even sexier."

Alex chuckled softly, leaning his head back onto Starr's shoulder so he could be kissed. Austin's lips met his gently, the touch intimate and exciting. Satisfied for the moment, Alex scooted down again, his head resting against Austin's chest. "I can't believe you made me turn my cell phone off the whole weekend," he murmured.

"But you checked it anyway, you rat," Starr teased.

"I could've had an important message," Alex defended. "I think the pillow fight was uncalled for."

"You loved the pillow fight." Austin chuckled, his hands running along Alex's chest.

Alex rolled over, starting to get in the mood for more. "You've been spoiling me," he murmured against Austin's lips before claiming them in a heady kiss. His body was pressed fully against Starr's, both of them clad only in loose workout pants. "You keep making love to me three times a day, I might get used to it." He kissed Starr again, groaning happily when the other man's hands slipped beneath the waist of his pants, stroking his ass.

"You have one hell of an appetite," Austin commented, gently kneading the globes of Alex's ass. "There was the shower this morning, then again after lunch."

"I can't get enough when I find something I like," Alex replied, his lips staying on Starr as his hands slipped down to push Starr's pants off his hips. He sat up enough to slip out of his own pants, looking inquiringly at Starr. "You got - "

"Bag." Starr pointed to his bag, which was within reaching distance of the couch. "Small pocket." Alex yanked it over, fishing a pack of condoms and a bottle of lube out of it. He had complained about them the first few times, but seemed to be getting in the habit now. He leaned down, taking Starr's cock into his mouth, deliberately looking up to make eye contact. Austin grinned, stroking Alex's hair adoringly. "That's good, baby," he groaned.

Alex sucked him for a minute, then drew back, struggling to tear open the condom packet. Austin smiled, taking it from him and quickly ripping it open. "You'll get the hang of it," he murmured as Alex quickly slid the rubber onto him. Alex rubbed a palmful of lube into him, then quickly reached between his own legs, slipping a finger into himself. He bit his lip, sliding in a second finger and working them quickly.

"Ok," he murmured, spreading his thighs over Starr's hips and reaching down, getting a good hold on the base of Starr's cock as he sunk down onto it. "Ooh," he gasped, letting go with his hand once he was well seated. "Oh baby, you feel so good!" He leaned down to kiss Austin, his hips starting off slow, their pace rapidly increasing. "Austin! Yes!" Alex threw his head back, his mouth hanging open as he rode. Austin clutched Alex's hips, groaning as he thrust up into the young man.

They both jolted when the door opened, admitting the man they had deliberately not mentioned the entire weekend.

"Woah-ho!" Kevin dropped his bag to the floor, grinning lasciviously. "Damn, where's the camera?"

To Austin's great shock, Alex actually pulled off of him, leaving the couch before Austin could catch him. "Alex..." he objected, frowning in shock as Alex snatched a towel and wrapped it around his waist.

"You know, I - I don't wanna tire myself out before Impact," Alex stuttered, his eyes shifting between Austin and Kevin. "I'm gonna go rinse off." He hurried into the shower room, leaving Starr staring after him in disbelief.

"Well, I can take a hint." Kevin chuckled, casting off his shirt and unbuckling his pants, striding after Alex. He paused, eyes raking over Starr's body. "We'll take care of you, don't worry," he murmured, licking his lips as his eyes focused on Starr's cock. "But the boy's been without Big Sexy all weekend, you've gotta forgive him." He chuckled again, stripping off the last of his clothing and heading into the showers.

Starr was frozen. He stared at the shower room door, his heart in his throat. Slowly, he pulled up his pants, tossing the unfulfilled condom into the trash. He rose slowly, grabbing his bag and walking towards the door. He paused before he left, taking a deep breath and wiping at his eyes, then hardening his resolve, and leaving.

"He get you ready for me, baby?"

Kevin's arms closed around Alex, who stood under a cool spray. Kevin kissed his neck, his hard cock pressing against the small of Alex's back. Alex squirmed away, frowning at his big lover. "I'm trying to rinse off," he snapped, again moving away when Kevin tried to catch him around the waist.

"Baby, don't be a tease." Kevin backed him against the wall, kissing him hard. He looked shocked when Alex pushed him back, hard enough that he almost slipped on the wet floor.

"I said I don't want to!" Alex turned on a different shower, further away from Kevin. "I just want to rinse off! I have a big match tonight, I need to be ready."

Kevin cocked his head, frowning at his young lover. "What the hell's wrong with you?" he demanded. "You've never said no to me."

Alex sighed, closing his eyes. "Kevin, I just want to relax, ok?"

"Nothing's better for releasing good hormones than getting fucked, baby," Kevin murmured, moving toward Alex again.

Alex put out a hand to stop him. "Not now, Kevin. Please."

Kevin was frowning at him. "You're serious. You're gonna let me walk out of here with my dick still hard."

Alex took a deep breath. "Maybe after the show we can - " he began.

"The dick's hard now, Alex!" Kevin pointed with both hands to the object in question. "I've fucked you before lots of damn matches, I don't see what the problem is!"

"I just don't want to!" Alex yelled. He swallowed at the shocked look on Big Sexy's face. He had never actually raised his voice to Kevin before; or defied him, or even disagreed with him in any way.

"You know what? Fine." Kevin shook his head, turning toward the exit. "I don't need to deal with some hormonal little bitch. Enjoy your damn shower!" he slammed out of the room, leaving Alex staring after him, wondering what he had just done.

When Alex emerged from his shower, he was glad that Kevin wasn't waiting in the locker room. However, he noticed that both Starr and his bag had also disappeared. He swallowed, suddenly needing to see the flamboyant man. He hurried out into the hall, jogging up to the first person he saw. The halls were still lightly populated, as it would be a while before Impact began.

"Eric!" he called.

Eric jumped, spinning around and scanning the halls nervously. "Oh, it's you." The blonde let out a sigh of relief. "I thought it might be Rhino or AJ."

Alex was too concerned about Austin's whereabouts to wonder what Eric had to do with those two men. "Eric, have you seen Austin anywhere?" he asked urgently.

"Uh." Eric thought for a moment. "Yeah! I think he went to the X Division locker room." He pointed down the hall. "But I don't know if you wanna talk to him, he looked kinda upset."

"He wasn't with Kevin, was he?" Alex asked, his heart pounding nervously.

"No, no. I saw him stomp off a minute later. He went that way." Eric pointed down the hall to their left.

"Right. Great." Alex rushed off, practically running towards the X Division locker room. He burst in, drawing a surprised stare from Petey Williams.

"Alex, are you ok?" Petey questioned as Alex rushed into the room, looking around for signs of Starr.

"Is Austin here?" Alex demanded, feeling a hint of relief when he noticed Austin's bag sitting on the floor.

"He's in the bathroom." Petey was about to say more, when Austin emerged from the bathroom, the flamboyant man frowning when he saw Alex.

"What do you want?" Austin snapped.

"I was just looking for you." Alex felt a little unnerved by the anger in Austin's eyes. "Look, I'm sorry about - "

"Oh, you’re sorry?" Austin cut him off, snorting. "You're sorry that you left me, while we were having sex, to go fuck Kevin in the shower?"

"What?" Alex gasped. "I didn't - "

"You jumped off me the second you saw him!" Starr yelled. "You know, Alex, I have gone through a lot just to be able to spend some time with you! I've had to suck up to Kevin, let him grab my ass whenever he wants; hell, I even gave him a damn blowjob! And if this is how it's gonna be, forget it!"

"It's not like that!" Alex cried. They were both too upset to remember that Petey was still in the room, the unfortunate Canadian sitting awkwardly on the corner, trying not to make a sound.

"Bullshit it's not." Starr grabbed his bag, slinging it over his shoulder. "I'm not your fucking dog, Alex. I'm not gonna be at your beck and call, until he shows up and you start licking his boots again. I was wrong, and I'm sorry I took your precious time away from him." He stormed towards the door, but Alex caught his arm, clinging to him.

"I didn't fuck him, Austin!" he insisted. "I left because - because I didn't want him to see us together!"

"Why? He thinks it's hot," Austin snorted.

"No! I mean, I - I - " Alex was crying, too upset to get his words out straight. "I didn't want him to watch! I didn't want him there!"

Austin paused, the anger in his eyes flickering with a trace of hope. "You mean you - didn't?"

"No, I didn't." Alex slid Austin's bag to the floor, putting his hands on either side of Austin's face. "I told him no. I told him no, and I've never done that before. I just - I didn't want him." He took a deep, shuddering breath. "I want you."

Austin inhaled deeply, his eyes on the floor. "I want you, Alex," he whispered. "I've been in - " he stopped himself, swallowing. "I've cared about you since we were first in Generation Next together. But you never gave me the time of day. And when I came back to TNA, you were so engrossed in Kevin...how could I compete with that? The man's a legend." Austin sighed. "This weekend, Alex, I thought...I thought we connected."

"We did," Alex affirmed, trying to get Starr to look at him. "I had such an amazing time with you, Austin. No guy's ever treated me like that. And I...I like it."

Austin finally raised his eyes, meeting Alex's sincere gaze. "I don't wanna share you," he whispered. "I thought I could do it, just to be with you, but I can't."

Alex pulled him into his arms, holding him tightly. "Don't leave me," he whispered. "I...I like the flowers. And the candlelight. And the...the cuddling on the couch." He buried his face in Austin's shoulder. "I've never done this before," he whispered. "I'm sorry, I - I don't know how."

Austin held Alex against him, his anger having evaporated. "You're learning fast," he said softly, brushing his cheek against Alex's soft hair.

Alex raised his head, his arms still locked around Starr. "Give me a chance?" he pleaded.

Austin swallowed, then nodded. "I have to," he whispered. "I love you."

Alex stared at him, his heart melting. Then, he did the only thing he could think to do; he leaned in, capturing Austin in a heartfelt kiss.
