This is super sweet; oh my goodness I love it. It's just so genuine - like the emotions you created in the character's expression is something very real. But it also has cute little elements that make it not a mundane story, like how Alex has been planning this for so long. I really enjoy that you didn't have Jack just immediately fall into Alex's arms; proclaiming his love for the other boy. Because more often than not, something like that wouldn't happen. So while this is very realistic, which I appreciate, it's also romantic and fantastical a bit. It's a really great combination. And the way you set your scenery is definitely to be commended - I felt like I could've been right there with them. This is really wonderful :)
aww thank you! I really did try to create that balance between realistic and romantic, so I'm glad you liked it! :)
