*Aleks' P.O.V*

*Flashback*

I wandered around the house me and Eddie shared, wanting something to do. James said he had a surprise for me later, so I had to try and entertain myself until he got here. I get up, looking around. I see Eddie's door is cracked open slightly. I peak inside, being curious, and find him recording. I sighed. I can't talk to him while he's recording... I finally decide to play with my phone on the couch while I waited.

Jaaaaaames. How much loooongerrrr?! I sent James the text, and continued to play around with some games.

Look outside(; <3 ~James

I open the front door and see him leaning against his car. I smiled and ran up to him and gave him a hug, not worrying about Eddie seeing us since he was recording.

"What's the surprise, babe?" I look up at him and peck his lips.

"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to come with me to see my mom this weekend?"

"Of course. Are we going to tell her, you know..." I looked down. We haven't even told the guys yet. It's not that we don't want too, its just, what if they don't like the idea and everything goes to shit? The whole group would fall apart, just because of us.

James lifted my face up and kissed me. The kiss was so perfect. He gave me strength.

"We'll tell her when the time's right."

I let a small nervous sigh escape my lips, "So, when are we going?"

"Now." He looked at me seriously.

"Uhm, you're kidding right?"

"Nope. Go get a bag. We're driving."

I smiled at him, gave him a quick peck on the lips, and ran inside to get some clothes and tell Eddie that'll I'll be with James for the weekend. My mind revolved around James' poor timing. How can he just tell me minutes before we're actually going? I guess that's point of the surprise.

I pack some random jeans and hoodies in a backpack and grab my laptop bag. He yell through Eddie's door, "EDDIE! I'M HANGING WITH JAMES FOR THE WEEKEND." I heard light, "Shut the fuck up I'm recording!" through the door. I guess I'll text him later. I run back outside and throw my bags in the back seat and jumped in the passenger as James got in the drivers side. He turned the radio on and began driving down the road.

The car ride wasn't really much, just me and James occasionally singing some random songs with the radio and small talk about how his mom is. Soon enough, we pulled up to the house. It wasn't really big, nor really small. Just a normal sized house. Perfect for one person.

"Alright. So, my mom really doesn't give a shit about stuff. So, once we tell her, we can pretty much do whatever. Except, of course, have sex on the couch." He smirked the last part. I shivered. I knew we wouldn't try anything at his mom's house, but I was still nervous about sleeping next to him. Me and James have still yet to officially had sex together yet. We wanted to wait until the perfect moment.

We walk to the door and James knocks. Shortly after, a nice looking lady came out and smiled.

"Oh my goodness! James!" Her face lit up as she engulfed him in a hug. I felt a smile tug on my lips at the cute moment.

"Hi Mom." James muttered softly, hugging his mother back. They pulled away and she looked up at me.

"Oh, I'm James'..." I pause looking at James.

"He's my friend." He finishes. Not the right time, I suppose.

I hold out my hand for a handshake, but she shoves if aside and hugs me lightly.

"Nice to meet you..."

"Aleks."

"Aleksandr." James smirks. I pull away from the awkward hug and look at him."

"Aleks." I corrected him sternly. He smiled and his mother invited us inside.

"So, are you boys hungry? You must've drove a while." She pulls out a tray of chicken breasts from the oven. The smell of seasoning ran through my nostrils as my stomach grumbles.

"Yes, we are both super hungry." James giggled getting plates out of the cabinet. We all got our food and sat down at the kitchen table to eat.

"So, how did you and James meet, Aleks?"

I quickly swallowed down a big bite before speaking, "We met through Machinima and Eddie, actually. Then we started talking and made our Battleblock series, ever since then everyone has loved us in the videos together, so we kept uploading more together. We just slowly got more close as time went on."

"I see." She says, cutting into her chicken. A few minutes went by of silence went by before James finally breaks the awkwardness.

"We've actually gotten closer than you'd expect, Mom." His mom looks up at him confused, and James takes my hand away from my fork and intertwines his fingers in mine. He gave me a peck on the cheek and I giggled, blushing lightly. "Me and Aleks are a couple." We continue smiling at eachother, genuinely happy, as his mother continued to look at us, almost emotionless.

"Mom?" James questioned, snapping his mother out of her thoughts.

"My son," She paused for a minute, "Is gay?"

I look over at James as he nodded.

"I do not approve of this! I did not grow my son to be gay! I raised him to be a nice gentleman, not literally, gentle to man! My son does not date other men. He dates women! He is not a faggot like his friend!" She yells at James. I feel my eyes get watery as James booms back at her.

"YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE WHO I LOVE. ALEKS IS MY BOYFRIEND, MOM. SO, EITHER DEAL WITH IT OR WE CAN JUST LEAVE."

"THEN LEAVE. JUST LIKE BEFORE." She screams back.

James gets up, slamming his fists on the table, takes my arm, and stormed out the door, slamming it closed. I was already balling my eyes out as I scooted across the gravel driveway making my way to the car door.

 Once inside, I feel James hold my hand, "It's okay, babe. We'll still be together. We'll always be together." I sniffle, not being able to say any words, as we silently drove back home.

*End flashback*

*James' P.O.V*

I feel a stray tear on my cheek as I finish the story. I look over to Aleks and give him a small, fake smile and he just sits, and holds my hand tighter.

"Yes, yes. Okay, So, I do believe that is all we have today. Be sure to come back tomorrow to tell me about the next step in your guys' relationship." Mr.Welch scribbles some sentences in his notebook and sends us off. Me and Aleks thank him and walk to the car, still holding hands.

"Well, I feel like this is actually going to work." I smile at him again. He doesn't do anything back, just gets in the car and starts it up. I get in the passenger seat. Why is he being like this? I know we had just made up only a week ago, but we talked more after it happened than now. What is going through his mind?
