Why won't you talk to me? ImmortalFox

Pinky swear

3rd person P.O.V following Aleks:

He wiped his tear filled eyes. Why was he crying? He had been expecting rejection long ago, so why did it still come as a shock when Eddie seemed to disapprove at the fact that they should date? He couldn't help it, it still hurt every time, and each time it hurt more.

He sniffled as he hugged his blanket tighter, pretending it was at certain Latino.

He stayed like that for a few moments, laid in a small ball facing the wall with a blanket covering his entire body, breathing slowly, a completely blank mind.

He quickly shot up from his bed when he heard the door creak open. He turned quickly to see Eddie at his door.

"Aleks?"

"Hey, I was just... napping before our da- our outing."

"Oh. Anyways, the episode is done and uploaded, so we can go now."

"Ok," he murmured, getting up and walking to the hallway.

Eddie looked surprised as he looked into his eyes.

"Aleks?"

"Yeah?"

"Were you... crying?"

"What? No!"

"Then why are your eyes all red and puffy?"

He just looked at the floor. "Let's just go," he mumbled, passing Eddie and walking rapidly towards the front door, hands shoved in his hoodie pocket.

"Hey! This conversation isn't over!" he heard his best friend yell from behind him.

"Yes it is!" he yelled back, putting his shoes on and heading outside.

He sat on the porch step as he waited patiently for Sly to come outside. He suddenly felt something brush against his arm lightly and lifted his head to see Eddie who was gazing at the houses in front.

"Aleks?"

"Yes?"

"You know you're going to have to tell me how you feel, right?"

Confusion hit his mind as he wondered what Sly was talking about; after all, he had already told him about his feelings, what more could he want?

"What do you mean? I already told you about my feelings."

"But I need to know more if I want to figure things out."

He nodded his head slowly as he got up and walked to their shared car.

He heard the car doors open and only assumed Sly had used the car keys behind him.

"Do you want to drive?" Eddie asked.

"I don't care, drive if you want." he replied, opening the door on the passengers side. "Actually, it's better if you do, you know, since I don't know the way."

"Oh yeah," his crush confirmed with a giggled.

Aleks smiled as he sat down and closed the door; at least one of them was happy. He buckled his seatbelt and waited for the driver to get into his seat.

Eddie sat down and started the car, buckling his own seatbelt.

"To the coffee place we go!"

Aleks grinned again for a second before his face turned expressionless again. He turned on the music player and heard a familiar song beat resonate; SlyFox and the Curious Cat.

He used his arm to support his head as he leaned towards the window. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, enjoying the sweet sound of Eddie's singing.

When the chorus came along, he heard Sly hum the tune beside him. It wasn't long before Aleks started humming the tune silently himself, hoping his friend wouldn't hear and say another unintentionally hurtful comment.

After a few minutes, they arrived at their destination and Aleks checked the time before Eddie turned off the ignition.

"Wow, 4:46 already?" he thought, slightly surprised at how the day had flown by.

They both stayed in their seats, keeping a quiet atmosphere.

"You know if you want me to figure things out you're going to have to promise me something," Eddie's voice resonated suddenly.

"Sure, anything."

"You have to answer every question I ask you truthfully, no exceptions," he declared.

"Why?"

"I want to know how you feel about this and I can't do that if you lie."

He hesitated momentarily. "Okay, I swear."

"Pinky swear?"

Aleks turned to the Latino who was looking at him with his smallest finger out. He was slightly caught off guard; they hadn't done this since they were kids. He felt nostalgia warm his heart as he hooked his own pinky with his, harshly pulling it away.

"Pinky swear," he stated, a warm and reassuring smile on his face.

And with that they exited the car, taking a deep breath to mentally prepare themselves for the upcoming conversation they were about to have.
