Why won't you talk to me? ImmortalFox

Is he... jealous?

3rd person P.O.V following Aleks:

He examined Eddie's shocked face as it slowly shifted into a look of disbelief.

"Do you really think that Aleks?"

"Which part? You have to be a little more specific if you want a detailed answer."

"Do you honestly think that it's your fault that Nathalie broke up with me? Do you really think you're not loved, that you're unwanted?"

Aleks hesitated to answer truthfully but remembered his promise and looked down at the table before sighing with defeat. "Yes."

"If I would've just kept my big mouth shut, you wouldn't be confused, you'd still be with Nathalie, you'd still be happy. I-"

"But I'd still be ignoring you," Eddie interrupted. "I would still be hurting you, I wouldn't realize how big of a mistake it was. And just because Nat left me doesn't mean I'm not happy."

"But you aren't right now, right? You'd probably give anything to be here with her instead of me because you still love her, don't you?"

"You know that's a lie, I love spending time with as much as I did with her."

Aleks groaned inwardly. He was so confused; if Eddie liked spending time with him, why did he spend that much time with her while ignoring him?

He opened his mouth to ask the very same question he formulated in his head but Eddie spoke before he could.

"Aleks, you know you're wanted, right? You are loved. I love you, the Creatures love you, your family loves you and the Nobs do as well. Just imagine what would happen if you were to kill yourself, everyone would be devastated. Some of your fans are probably struggling with depression themselves and you're most likely the reason they're still alive. If you were to die, there's no doubt some of them would too."

He shook his head, "No, they aren't stupid enough to do that, they're strong, they would move on, forget all about me."

"And that's a good thing, people forgetting you? I don't think so. You are loved, you are wanted and don't you ever forget it."

He was about to reply but was stopped by the sound of Eddie's stomach grumbling.

Eddie giggled, "Hold that thought, Aleks, I'm gonna order something else to eat, give me a minute."

He nodded and Sly skipped cheerfully back to the counter were Rachel stood, staring intently at him. He looked away as he waited for his best friend to come back.

He heard footsteps and the shuffling of someone adjusting themselves in the booth, he looked and saw Sly staring at him curiously.

"You okay?"

He nodded, "Yeah, what did you order?"

"Some soup."

He chuckled, "You... eating soup?"

It did sound odd, Sly hated vegetables more than anyone he knew and finding a soup that didn't contain vegetables was hard, not to mention Eddie barely ate anything that even looked like one.

He shrugged with a cute grin, "I wanted to try one, it looks good in the picture that girl, Rachel, handed me."

"With your luck it's probably going to be the same shit McDonald's pulls off, putting up pictures of delicious food on the menu and giving you shit," he snickered.

"Don't jinx it!" Eddie yelled, taping on the wood table three times.

Aleks giggled. Wow, he never did that before.
