The Beginning of The End ( NovaHD )

Chapter 21

Aleks' POV*
The apartment was huge. It was kind of like the creature house, but a lot smaller and only one story.

I started to walk around the apartment, and found myself in a large bedroom. It had a queen bed with brown covers and two pillows. James came into the room too, and observed it. It had a wooden dresser and a walk in closet.

"This is a nice place," he said. I nodded in agreement. I walked out of the room and found myself in the bathroom. It was big as well. There was a huge shower with a glass sliding door on it, and towels on the sink. I walked out of the bathroom, and went into the other room. The other room was a washer and dryer.

I thought for a moment. Wait...there is only one bedroom in this place. I exited the room and went around the place, looking at the kitchen and the living room. James appeared from the bedroom.

"There is only one bedroom in this place. We're gonna have to share the bed," I said. He nodded, seeming totally fine with it. I opened the window curtains in the kitchen to reveal the night sky. It was the most amazing view I've ever seen.

James came over and looked out the window with me. He smiled at the view and sighed.
"Why can't we have views like this in Denver?" He laughed. Then, a loud knock echoed through the apartment from the front door.

I looked over at James who looked at me. I went over to the door and opened it. The same man from before had clothing stacked in his hands. He handed me them, nodded, and left.

I shut the door, and handed James half the pile.
"Thanks bud," he said, to which I nodded. I went into the bathroom, and changed into a plain white t-shit and some sweat pants. I walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. I slumped over to the bed and flopped down onto it. I laid my head down on one of the pillows and snuggled into it, realizing how tired I was.

I heard the door open and turned to see James entering the room. He was wearing pretty much the same thing I was except his t-shirt was black. He slightly smiled at me and laid down on the bed next to me. He covered himself with the warm blankets and turned on his side so he was facing me.

"So Aleksandr, what do you think of this place?" He asked me, a smile on his face. I shrugged.
"It's alright so far, we've only been here for about an hour," I joked, widening his smile. We laid silently for a minute or two looking at each other before James said something.

"So, what were you trying to tell me earlier? You never got to tell me, and now I'm really curious." My heart stopped. Do I tell him, if I do tell him, how will he react?

James' POV*
Aleks' looked at me, his face sweating slightly. I gave him a confused look. I could tell he was shaking, is it that bad?
"You don't have to tell me if you don't wa-"
"No, I have to tell you, I'm going to tell you," he said, almost sounding like he was starting to cry.

I sat up against the backboard, and he did the same.
"Umm...this is going to be really hard to say, so just give me a second," he said. He sat silently for a second, then looked at me. "F-for a long time now...I've um..I've loved you." My heart stopped completely. Aleks loves me? "It's ok if you don't like me or don't want to be my friend anymore, but I just had to tell you that," he said quickly, his voice shivering.

He put his knees to his chest and put his head in his hands. I put my finger on his chin and tilted his head up.
"Aleks, it's alright. Why would I hate you? Why wouldn't I want to be your friend anymore?" I asked him. He gave me a confused look.
"I don't know...I just thought you wouldn't li-" I cut him off by putting my lips against his.

His lips were soft and tasted like mint. We parted and I put my forehead to his. It wasn't long, but it felt like fireworks going off.

"I love you Aleksandr, I always have and always will." He smiled at that, his breath slowing down.
"I love you too James," he said quietly. When he said that, it felt like the world stopped turning.

Aleks loves me. And I sure as hell do love him.

This time, Aleks kissed me slowly. He parted his lips, and I copied his movements. He put his hands around my neck, pushing me closer to him. I slithered one hand around his waist, and one onto his back. I forced my tongue into his mouth. His mouth tastes like peppermint, only sweeter.

We parted, catching our breaths. I suddenly felt tired, so I laid down on the bed. He laid down too, and put his head on my chest, looking up at me. I played with his hair, curling it around my finger. He put his arm around my waist and snuggled closer to me.

"I love you James."
"I love you too Aleksandr, and I always will. No matter what. I promise."
Then, we both fell into darkness.

Ehhhh? Was it a good chapter? It's my first time writing this kind of story so I just wanted to know. Anyways I hope to upload a lot more now! Thanks! -Michaela :D
