Hope didn't mean to freak out but it was just a natural reaction to him, Alex meant so much to him he didn't want him going off protecting Hope and get himself in trouble or hurt. It wasn't because he thought that Alex couldn't handle himself it was just a risk that he didn't want to take. "Good." He said with a heavy sigh as he felt Alex's strong arms go around him once more. Hope truly cared for Alex and this just proved the point, he felt like he wanted to be with Alex entirely because it made him feel safe. Yet there was a sense to where Hope wanted to make sure he was safe. Alex had came into his life and Hope knew that Alex was his soul mate, that it was because of him that everything in his life was so different.<br/><br/>Hope reached down and linked his fingers with Alex's and squeezed tightly after bringing it up to his lips and kissing it softly. "I don't ever want to leave you Alex. You mean so much to me. I have waited my entire life for you and it was well worth the wait." Hope grinned out as he rolled on top of Alex. He had never felt so close to Alex before, Hope felt the connection he longed for. And just like Alex when Hope laid in his arms he was overcome with the feeling that he belonged there. As if he was destined to be in Alex's arms. "Mhm I can never get tired of being in your arms." He said contently as the smile never left his face. Hope giggled cutely into Alex's chest when he was told that he didn't know sunshine had a smell to it. Hope sat up and cutely puffed out his chest "It doesn't I meant it as a cute metaphor."<br/><br/>Hope said as he stuck out his tongue at him before placing his head back down on his chest. Hope was wondering how Alex had seen his mother's grave but he couldn't think of that when he felt him lift his finger and pull him up by his chin and kissed him tenderly. "I can never get tired of that as well." Hope said as he heard Alex say that he wasn't used to so much praise or someone saying sweet things about him. Hope looked up and took his hand and brushed his fingers ever so gently against Alex's cheek soothingly "Well please get used to it, because I don't have anything else to say to you but sweet things." Hope smiled as he used his knuckles to continue to stroke Alex's soft face. "You can do anything Alex. You are such a strong, brilliant, talented man. I knew that the second we met. You literally have the world in your hands."<br/><br/>Hope leaned over and kissed him with him initiating it before they got up to leave for the graveyard. The entire car ride Hope was glancing over at Alex, thinking about being in his arms and all the things he said about him. It was very strange to Hope that Alex didn't see what he had seen in him. To him Alex was the stars, the moon, and the universe. Hope smiled brightly when he saw Alex look over at their hands and it only made him grin more. Hope looked down at his mother's grave and gave Alex's hand a squeeze as he bent over and placed the pink and purple flowers on the grave marker. Hope read the tombstone and couldn't help but smirk, the quote was so perfect as if his mother picked it herself.<br/><br/>Hope stood there and gasp as he heard Alex say that when he took care of the burial he had no idea she had a child named Hope. Hope tossed his arms around him and couldn't help but tear up "It was you?! Alex you seriously can't know how much that means to me." Hope was head over heels in love with Alex before this and this only made him shoot to Saturn and back. "She was right Alex. I found my one." He whispered out as he heard him say that they could spend as much time as they wanted there. Hope smiled as he felt a kiss on his cheek and watched him go over to her dedicated bench. Hope looked down at his mother's grave and smiled. "I found him Mom. You don't have to worry any more, I found the man that I love and Alex cares for me. He is getting me better, healthy. I wish you could have met him. He is so amazing. I am going to show him why he is so amazing. He will know how much he lights up my world and I hope I do the same."<br/><br/>A loud thud erupted from a car door that had crept up on the graveyard, parking somewhat far away from Jamie and the car. A man dressed in black, with large reflective glasses got of the car. He made his way up to a grave marker a couple rows back and that is when he heard Alex's phone went off. It was Jamie in the dark tinted car. "Sir. That male is a suspicious figure... And he happens to be armed I need to get out and be in range if he pulls any funny business." Hope looked confused at Alex when he saw the man come closer to him. "Sir he is moving closer to Mr. Maddox I am getting out now." Jamie hopped out of the car and got aim ready for when and if he needed too. Hope felt Alex come behind him and wrap his arms around him and told him not to panic and just stay calm.<br/><br/>The unknown male finally made his way a couple graves away from him. He took off his glasses and placed a wide smirk on his face. "Well look its little Hope Maddox. I can't tell you how long Rex has been waiting for this." Hope turned a ghostly white hearing a stranger starting off the conversation. Hope grabbed Alex's hand a little too tightly as the man took another step, two graves away now. "He had been waiting for you to come here. The second you did he would know because of the security we put up."<br/><br/>The male chuckled "In fact I believe he is watching now. Hey boss." He said as he turned around and waved at the camera. "He told me to tell you how nicely you filled out over the years. In fact he wants to see it again in person." Hope started getting weak at the knees and started getting lightheaded. He knew that Alex understood cause he felt Alex pick him and stable him. "Oh you don't have to do that anymore Joe Schmo. Mister Anderson will take great care of him." One grave away now and Hope saw Jamie make his move closer to them so he himself was a couple rows away from them.
