And So It Begins: NovaHD [BoyxBoy]

> Timeline <

"Its your timeline isn't it? You don't have much time left do you?" A silent tear slid down Stefani and Jordan's face as they realized their friend was going to die soon. Aleks silently pulled up his long sleeve and held his wrist out. The normally brightly glowing line, was slowly counting down the days until Aleks will die. Two days. Seventeen hours. Thirty-six minutes. Twenty seconds.

Within the last hour, you will grow weak and tired. They recommend spending this time with friends or family so you can leave the world in peace with those you love and who love you. Stefani ran a finger across the slowly fading light as she let out small cries of pain.

"Oh Aleks. I knew it. I just knew. You never wear this many long sleeve shirts. God, why didn't you tell me, or any of us at the office? Aleks, why?" Jordan questioned, hurt that one of his best friends would keep this from him. Aleks let the tears that were burning at the corners of his eyes go. He shook as a sob climbed its way out of his throat.

"I'm sorry. I don't w-want to die. Not yet. I-I-I'm not ready to l-leave you guys." Jordan and Stefani pulled their friend into a hug, holding him tightly, never wanting to let him go.

Seven hours left. Aleks was currently laying on the floor, with his head in James' lap. They were all sitting in the bear room relaxing and spending as much time with Aleks in his final hours. Everyone came back to see him. All the creatures, old and new, past interns and assistants and current ones gathered in one room.

"I'm sorry for all the fights we've had. And well, every other thing I've done to upset you." James whispered to his best friend and lover. He gently ran his hands through the Russians soft hair.

Aleks sighed in content. Happy to be spending his last few hours with his lover and friends.

"Thanks James. Thank all of you for staying with me. I didn't want to be alone when I go." James paused. A tear slid down his face but it was wiped off by Aleks, who wore a small smile. He ran a gentle hand down James' face.

"Hush now. No tears now, only memes." Aleks whispered causing everyone to laugh.

"Meme boy Aleks. Back at it again within his last few hours." Dan joked.

"Can we get that put on my grave stone?" Aleks asked, a wide grin plastered on his pale face.

"Definitely. So everyone can see it and be really confused as to why that was placed there." Max said a grin on his face.

"So, story time? Do the classic, go over all past memories?" Eddie smiled from his position on Aleks stomach. Aleks ran a hand through Eddie hair which was placed on his torso.

"I'd like that. I'd like that a lot."

Jordan went first, telling the story of when he and Aleks first talked. Aleks saying he was Jordan's biggest fanboy and how amazing Jordan felt when he said that Jordan was the reason that he wanted to do what he does now.

Eddie and Seamus along with some input from James and Jordan, retold the story of James roughly spooning Aleks and how they had been betting on when they would date..or fuck but that was a different story for another time.

Dan said a few of his favorite E3 stories when it was just Jordan, Aleks, James and himself. One of them being when Aleks and Jordan were climbing and got super wet and after that the car smelt like the ocean for a few days.
