Our Love Is Too Stronk! (boyxboy, ImmortalFox)

Chapter 3

*Aleks's POV*

"OH MY GOD DUDE WAKE UP NOW!" I yelled into Sly's ear.

He screamed, and I started laughing hardcore. Sly clenched his fists, and yelled, "What the fuck was that for, Aleks?!"

Tears streamed from my eyes as I laughed. Sly glared at me, which made me laugh more. "You messed up my sleep," he growled, nostrils flaring.

When I finally calmed down, I replied to his first question, "It's time to go to the house, dude."

"Shit, man..." He got up and went to his closet to get dressed. I retreated to the doorway, and waited for him outside. Occasionally I snuck glances through the door, and I blushed when I saw his bare chest.

Eddie was pretty damn ripped. His abs looked solid, and his biceps were flexed slightly as he struggled to put on a shirt. The little bit of sunlight that came through his windows made his tan Latino skin shine. He looked like a fucking god.

Damn dude.

It was so much different than my pale, slightly toned body. Sly always said I still had muscle, but I doubt it. They were hiding under my protective layer of flabby skin.

I felt the odd urge to want to run my hands over his chest and over his arms, but I stood my ground outside his door.

A few minutes later he came out wearing a Blink-182 shirt and some white shorts, with his black flip-flops.

"Ready?" I asked. He nodded, and we walked out of our apartment to my silver Chevy Camaro. [A/N: One of my favorite cars!]

We climbed in, and I started the engine. It stuttered a bit, but wouldn't fully start up.

"Oh come on you piece of shit..." I grumbled.

Eddie laughed. "Let me see, you doofus..." His hand brushed mine as he reached for the keys, and it lingered there. I blushed, and saw him glancing at me, a smirk on his face. Reluctantly, I pulled my hand away, and let Eddie do this thing.

He fiddled with the keys, and after a couple of times it didn't work. But on his fourth try, my car stirred to life.

"Thanks, man," I said, smiling slightly at him.

Sly grinned, and brushed his hands together, as if wiping off dust. "All in a Latino's day's work." He giggled, and I smiled again.

We pulled up to the Creature house, and walked inside. I couldn't hear any yelling, so I was confused.

"Hell-oh?" Sly asked loudly into the quietness.

"Downstairs, guys!" I heard Dan yell.

When we walked downstairs we saw Dan setting up cameras for Creature Talk, and Kootra testing the mics.

"Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3... and the amazing duo, Slyfox and ImmortalHD have just joined us!" Jordan boomed into the microphone.

I heard a ringing in my ears, and while scratching my ear I mumbled, "Sounds great, Hordan. A bit loud though..."

He laughed. "Sorry."

"So!" Sly started. "Where's the guys?"

"Seamus is still sleeping, so we don't want to bother THAT..." Dan replied, not looking up from his camera. "And James is at the store getting more drinks."

"Like your Mike's Hard Lemonade, Koots?" I looked over at him, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey! Shut up!"

Sly laughed, and I smiled. Jordan rolled his eyes, and Dan chuckled a bit.

"YO GUYS! I'M HOOMMEEE!" James came running down the stairs, holding two bags of sodas and water. "I got your lemonade, Hordan." He set down the bags in front of the table, out of the way of the camera.

"HA!" Eddie yelled, pointing at Kootra.

Kootra ignored him, sat down at the table, and grabbed one of the lemonades. I sat next to him, with Eddie across from me, and James next to him. Me and Sly were closest to the camera.

"I guess we're starting the pre-show..." Dan said, flicking on the cameras.

***

We were at a point in the Creature Talk where we started talking about our families. I felt a lump form in the back of my throat, but I kept it there. I didn't want to cry on Creature Talk. Especially in front of Eddie.

"So, Aleks," James said, turning to me. "Where'd you come from?"

Oh, great...

"I'm, um, adopted... and stuff."

James started laughing, and I felt the lump getting bigger.

"And I'm an orphan."

He started laughing again, and I tried really hard to hold back the tears. But the feeling dissipated when I felt something grab my hand. I looked up to see Sly smiling sympathetically at me, his hand on top of mine.

I was staring at our hands, that soon became more than a sympathetic gesture. Eddie entwined our fingers, and a smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, along with goosebumps going up my arms and down my back.

He started smiling, too, but Jordan ruined the moment by clapping his hands together, and saying, "Okayyy! Let's move on, shall we?"

Eddie reluctantly pulled away, and I frowned slightly. But as the topic got changed I started feeling a bit better.

***

I stood up and stretched my back, hearing a few pops here and there. We had just finished recording almost two hours of Creature Talk, and Sly and I had to go back to recording.

We started walking to the door after saying goodbye to Jordan and Dan, when James stopped me.

"Hold on," he said, grabbing my wrist. I turned to look at him, expressionless.

"I'm sorry about your parents, dude. I'm a dick for laughing. I thought you were joking..." He scratched the back of his head, looking down at the floor.

I placed a hand on his shoulder, and smiled. "Thanks, dude. And it's fine... it happened a while ago."

James smiled a bit. "Thanks, man. See you guys tomorrow."

We waved goodbye, and left for home.

I opened my door to go inside my room in Sly and I's apartment, but he stopped me by holding my wrist, like James had. But I felt goosebumps go up my arms again, and I stopped.

"Are you sure you're okay, Aleks?" Eddie asked.

I hesitated for a moment, but nodded. "Yeah, I'm okay... Thanks."

Eddie furrowed his eyebrows, still holding my wrist. I glanced at him holding my wrist, then back at him. He suddenly pulled me into a hug, and I sank into his muscular arms.

"I'm sorry, Aleks..." he whispered in my ear as he ran a hand through my hair.

"It's o-okay," I stammered.

Sly held me in the hug for a while, and I liked it. I could stay there forever, tucked safely in his arms.

Quick Note:
