Everybody Loves Aleks (DexHD, NovaHD, & ImmortalAnex)

Chapter 7- Pain

Chapter 7- Pain

It was the morning after Dave & Buster's. 

Aleks woke up feeling very groggy. The pain medication he took earlier that morning did work, but he still felt uneasy. Maybe it was something else that was paining him? He got out of his bed, did his morning routine, changed into some presentable clothes, then went down stairs. 

A paper was on the kitchen counter. It read: Went to the office a bit early -James

Aleks looked at the clock in the living room and it was well after noon. He grunted, but didn't say anything. He wasn't really that late to work, so this was kind of new to him. Maybe he really did drink too much. 

Aleks sighed and put the paper into the trash can. He ate breakfast in front of the TV then off to work he went. 

As he was on his way to the office building, he thought of what had happened earlier. All he remembered from last night was arriving at D&B and eating food, drinking. The last thing he remembered was kissing James in Jordan's car.

He sighed as he made it to the parking lot of the office. He sat in his car for a while, reflecting on what he'd do today. He could make more CS: GO videos, or live stream all day. There was a number of things he could do.

Once he got out of his car, he crossed paths with Kevin.

Kevin was wearing a pale gray hoodie and black jeans. Kevin smiled at him as Aleks approached, "Hey!"

Aleks smiled back a little bit. "Hey."

The two of them walked up the stairs together. Kevin kept the one sided conversation going. "I just got here too," Kevin was saying. "I'm planning on live streaming again today. It's been slow today, or so Jordan has told me as he texted me this morning." 

Aleks just nodded as they finally reached their floor. 

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

Aleks took off his headphones and ran to his door and looked out to see what James was yelling about now. 

The day had been normal up until then. Aleks had been recording CS: GO. When Aleks looks out of his office, he saw Jordan chasing James and Spencer down the hall, holding a brand new bottle of Liquid Ass. 

"Jordan!" James was screaming. "Why would you do this!?"

"Get back here, James!" Jordan was screeching. "You jinxed me!"

Spencer had his camera with him. He tried turning as they ran to shoot Jordan, "Have mercy, please!"

Kevin ran out from behind the corner and tried running at Jordan, grabbing at the bottle. 

"Oh shit!" Spencer yelled. He stopped running to film Kevin and Jordan.

"Get him! Get him!" Aleks yelled as Kevin grabbed the bottle and ran away from Jordan.

James ran into the nearest office and shut the door. 

"Aleks!" Kevin screamed. He threw the bottle at Aleks and ran towards him.

Aleks and Kevin reached Aleks' office and slammed the door shut right before Jordan could grab the door and get inside. 

Jordan and Spencer were outside. Jordan pounded on the door, a mad look in his eyes. "KEVIN!"

Aleks and Kevin were sitting on the floor, away from the door. Aleks heard Jordan and Spencer run away down the hall, then he sighed in relief. "What was that about?"

"James and Jordan were recording something," Kevin answered, a huge grin on his face, and a bead of sweat slowly running down his face. "And something happened, obviously..." He paused for a bit. "And from what I gathered, James jinxed something."

"Sounds like a CS: GO case opening to me," Aleks chuckled. "Didn't something similar happen?"

Kevin shrugged. He reached over and grabbed the bottle of fart spray from Aleks' hand, "We need to stop people from sending us these."

Before Aleks could reply, they heard pounding footsteps at the door again. 

"Shit," Aleks swore. He crawled over to the window by the door and looked up to see Jordan with the bottle of DEATH SPRAY.

Aleks let out a scream and crawled back over to Kevin, and the two of them rushed over to the far side of the office by the window. "Oh fuck!" Aleks cried. 

"YOU WOULDN'T!" Kevin yelled.

"I WOULD!" Jordan yelled back. He got onto his knees and held the bottle down to the crack under the door.

"Jordan, no!" Spencer pleaded as he kept filming.

"You knew this would happen someday!" Jordan laughed maniacally. "James already got hit!" 

Something about that fact made Aleks laugh. He pictured in his head James swearing his head off as he got hit with the very thing he created. 

"I'm sorry, guys!" Spencer yelled. "He got the key from me."

"This is what you get!" Jordan kept laughing. 

Kevin shivered. He crashed into Aleks and held onto him, burying his face in his chest. "I don't want to suffocate!" He sobbed.

This was the kind of behavior he would have if a camera was on them, but Aleks was sure Spencer couldn't see them from all the way back here inside the room from the window.

Aleks grew numb. Everything around him didn't seem to matter. He could vaguely hear the commotion outside- he heard James' voice and more running footsteps. His senses focused on the sensation of Kevin's body against his. Kevin felt very warm, and his arms were holding him with a firm grasp.

He swallowed nervously. His chest tightened and he struggled to keep things together. He began to laugh.

Kevin lifted up his head when he didn't smell anything bad. They didn't spray them. He looked up at Aleks when he began laughing. Right away, he could tell it wasn't a genuine laugh. "What's wrong?" He asked. Finally, he pulled away from Aleks and scooted away from him.

Aleks' eyes were watery and he kept laughing so much, that it sounded like sobbing now. "Why?" Aleks managed to say. 

Kevin fought the urge to hug him again. The very desire to hold Aleks made his body feel hot.  "Why what?" Kevin said. He was unaware of the 'bed-room eyes' he was giving Aleks at the moment. 

"Why do you like me?" Aleks said. He had stopped laugh-sobbing and tried to smile, even though his voice betrayed how upset he was. 

This made Kevin freeze. He no longer felt like himself. He no longer felt like Aleks was the same Aleks. Everything just stopped for him. He stared at Aleks, his eyes wide as could be. They sat in silence.

It was unbearable. 

Aleks laughed again and sniffled. He wiped his eyes. "This isn't like me. I don't know why it's like this." He got up and walked to his door. He then remembered this was his office. He looked back at Kevin. "Get out of my fucking office."

Kevin got onto his feet, his face still frozen with horror. "You're attractive, you're funny, you're just so many things, Aleks," He finally managed to say.

Aleks looked up at him. "What if I liked you back?"

"Do you?" Kevin asked, his face relaxing and his eyes beginning to gleam. 

"It's just a hypothetical," Aleks muttered, his face showing no clear sign of what was truly going on his head.

"I'd be more than happy. I'd probably cry," Kevin answered honestly. 

Aleks took a moment to pause. He let out a scoff and chuckle. He opened his door and Kevin automatically walked out of the office.

"So...are we not going to talk about this some more?" Kevin asked, a slight grin on his face.

"Maybe later," Aleks grinned back as he shut the door.
