Jerry was wandering the forest, he figured put where the Villa stopped and where it first started. Jamey was somewhere, he just didn't know where, probably talking to that cute brown haired bear he saw earlier. Jerry smiled at the thought of Jamey finding someone, he's been very lonely and his past boyfriends weren't that great, but Jerry couldn't forget the time their parents almost forced Jamey into an arranged marriage with a woman. Jerry giggled, those were good times. He slowly frowned, "They were good times" he muttered out loud and slowly started walking back to the cave. He stopped once he saw an unfamiliar patch of red hair. "Hello?" He said softly and the figure turned around. "Oh! Sorry for intruding" He stepped out and Jerry's eyes widen. "Oh! You're Alexander!" Jerry said and stuck his hand out. "We haven't formally met" Alex smiled and shook his hand. "Call me Alex. All my friends do" Jerry smirked. "We just met sir Alexander" Alex gave a small smile.

"Touché" he replied let go of his hand. "What are you doing here?" Jerry asked and Alex rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Well... I just wanted to apologize. I've been rather rude have I? I've just been watching from the sidelines as you interacted with my brothers" Jerry nodded. "But when I saw you stand up for yourself against Trisha, well, I was impressed" He gave a proud smile which sent shivers down Jerry's back. "I-I well, t-thank you! A lot" Jerry stuttered, laughing a bit nervously. "N-no one's ever complimented me before" he cleared his throat. "S-so! Are you uh.. fruity too?" Alex blinked before processing what he was trying to say and full on belly laughed.

"I-I won't get offended if you say gay!" He laughed more which caused Jerry to laugh too. After a good healthy minute of laughing, Alex spoke up. "Well... you see, I used to be straight, but as the years went by. I slowly came to terms, I was bi. I like both Men and Women. Oh and I apologize for calling you a women" Jerry waved him off. "Eh water under the bridge, I was kind of a cry baby huh?" He giggled and Alex smiled. "A beautiful one" he told him and stepped closer. Jerry stopped and felt his cheeks heat up. "H-huh?" Alex lifted up his chin and brought their faces close. "I think you're really beautiful. I love how confident and flirty you are. The way you stride yourself and even how you walk shouts out confidence. It's truly incredible" Jerry could feel that he was basically a tomato at this point. He's never received such... compliments before! "I-I-" he couldn't even form words as he felt his heart flutter.

Alex smiled and backed off. "Sorry. I came on to strongly, huh?" Jerry squeaked out as fast as he could, "N-No!! I-I mean o-of course not! D-do y-you wanna g-go out?" He's never stuttered this much before, he was practically melting at the sight of the man in front of him. "Yes, of course! Let's go out, I do know of a lovely place. If you don't mind, I want to invite a couple of people with us"

"Where are they?" Trisha whined as she looked ahead towards all the people chatting about. Max sighed, "For the last time, I don't know. It's only been 20 minutes" Trisha huffed. "Fine! I'm getting a drink!!" She got up and went to the lovely crafted bar just a few feet away from them. Max rolled his eyes and was thinking about joining her before Alex came strutting in. "Alex!" Max waved towards him. Alex waved back and pulled someone's arm towards him. Jerry smiled widely as he clinged onto him. "Hey Max!!" He shouted and they both rushed over. "Oh hey! Alex was this who you were talking about?" Alex nodded as they took their seats across from him. "Where's Trisha?" Jerry asked as he leaned against Alex. Max pointed towards the bar. "Getting a drink" Alex looked over and then looked back at him, "Well, why don't we order some grub?" Jerry nodded. "I've never really had anything from here. But I'm guessing it's all meat and berries and meat right?" Alex and Max nodded. "Yep! Basically" they both answered. Max deadpanned as Alex stuck his tongue out, causing Jerry to laugh, "Are you guys twins?"

Alex nodded. "Why yes! We used to have the same hair, but then Max dyed it" He pouted towards Max. Max huffed, "I like it. Better suits me" Jerry tilted his head a bit before agreeing, "I can see you with Red hair, but blue hair is so your color. But I bet you would look great with anything on" He grinned as Max became all flustered. Alex laughed a bit and wrapped his arm around Jerry. "You made my brother blush! I haven't been able to do that in years! You really are special" Jerry preened and nuzzled into him. "I sure am!" He happily agreed. Max cleared his throat at the lovey dovey mess in front of him. "So uh... how long as this been going on?"
