Concealed // Alex x George

taunt- george

song suggestion- taunt (^^) or 505

Alex leans close into the mic.

"HELLO CHAT!"

I jump at the sudden boom of his voice and slap his arm.

"What the hell Alex, that scared the life out of me!"

He bursts out laughing and apologises jokingly.

"Sorry guys, I'm just very sleep-deprived,"

I raise my eyebrows at him.

"Anyways," he continues "welcome to the stream everyone! Welcome to the stream, welcome to the stream!"

He talks to chat for a while.
I spot a message on the dashboard:
'Memeulex 4 life!! 💖💖' I blush and decide to play along.

"Alex, I wonder what Memeulex means?" I ask, acting all innocent.

He scoffs and looks at me wide eyed. "Why would I know? Like.. a ship name? Why the hell would people ship us?"
He loops his arm around my waist, pulling my chair closer to his. He turns to me, suddenly looking serious.
He opens his mouth for a second before laughing and shaking his head.
"We could never be in love." he says and I'm staring at him with my mouth open in disbelief.

What am I supposed to say to that? I mean, I dont love him.. I dont think so yet. I dont want to rush anything before I know exactly how I feel. Alex seemed so weird this morning and I think it was because I was moving too fast. I couldnt hear what exactly he was saying on the phone but he seemed fed up from the gentle but irritated hum of his voice. He was giving advice to someone I think. I dont want to ask who, that would be an invasion of privacy, but I'm so curious. I pull myself back into the moment and recall what Alex had said a few seconds ago. I think up a response and brush my hand against his.

"Why not?"

That mightve been a bad answer, now it seems I want us to be in love. Maybe I do but chat cant know that. I'll need to keep that in mind, our fans know us as well as we know eachother, they'll be able to pick up the shift in our relationship immediately if we let our guard down. Which it seems like Alex is.

"People would go crazy about it and James would get jealous," he laughs softly "plus, you wear that mask all the time, I wouldn't be able to kiss you."

Chat is exploding as expected;

smoothhhh alex 😃

pfftt alex hasnt seen ur face???

wait what 😍

SOMEONE PLZ CLIP THAT BAGJGDYDYA

He turns away from me and grins at the ground.

"Calm down guys I was just kidding,of course I've seen his face, we bloody live together!"

"You think I'm so insecure I wont even show myself to my flatmate?" I say deadpan to the camera.

The chat is going so quickly I can barely read it. Some people are asking for the reason I havent done a face reveal. I honestly dont know myself, I'm not scared I guess it's just easier? People dont ever stop you in public which is nice. But I dont really have a genuine, valid reason. Now that I think about it, it's a bit stupid, I'm only really wearing it out of routine. And I dont want to break the internet with my gorgeous face.

I notice how close Alex is sitting and how he keeps looking down and blushing when people ship us. I feel a sudden urge of happiness and confidence. Fuck it.

I walk out of the room without explanation. I can hear Alex talking from the hallway I'm standing in.

"Do you reckon I've upset him? My flirting is obviously too much for him to handle, hes left to regroup himself."

I hear him waffling on to the stream while I take off the cap I was wearing, a thin layer of sweat sticks to my hair. I take off everything else calm down chat, just the disguise you stinkys 😡 and take a deep breath. Is this too sudden? I'll probably regret it later, its probably not the right time. But I want Alex to touch my face, to see my flushed cheeks when he talks to me with that confidence he has whenever the cameras are on.

I prepare myself for what awaits me and focus on the murmur of Alex's voice getting closer and closer. Just a few steps more until nothing will be the same again.
