Why won't you talk to me? ImmortalFox

Do- do you like me?

3rd person P.O.V following Aleks:

The two walked on the pathway, hand in hand. He and Eddie had never been in this part of town, so they decided to see what it had to offer.

So, they walked, fingers intertwined and smiles on their faces. If a stranger passed by, there was no doubt that they'd pass for a young and happy couple.

They took random turns and switched sidewalks every once and a while, not scared of loosing their car for they had a GPS app in their phones to help find their way back.

And finally, they sat down to rest on an empty and open field filled with flowers of all sorts. It was a beautiful sight indeed, and Aleks would make sure to remember where it was.

He turned to stare at Eddie's perfect face, it was a face he was sure he would never get tired of looking at. It was the total opposite of his, breath-taking. His features paled next to Eddie's, literally, he thought his skin was so pale he wouldn't be surprised if someone thought he was a vampire.

He was surprised as he saw Eddie doing the same, his eyes shifted from Aleks' deep brown eyes to his chapped lips, they lingered there as he bit his lip and looked into his eyes again.

Aleks couldn't be happier, he felt as if he had a chance now. It didn't matter if it was the slimmest or the biggest, the only thing that mattered was the fact that he had one.

Although he was overjoyed by this series of romantic events, he couldn't help but feel puzzled once more; why was Eddie doing this? The very question made hundreds of possibilities stem.

Today, he was going to find out, find out if his best friend like him the way he did. He was going to put Eddie's promise to use.

"Sly?"

"Call me Eddie, I told you I like that better."

"Right, sorry, force of habit," he apologized quickly before asking for his friend's attention the right way. "Eddie?"

"Yeah?"

"I need you to be completely honest on this question, no matter what the answer is."

"Sure, I already fucking promised, there's no going back now," he assured, giggling.

"Do... do you like me?"

Eddie immediately became silent, an unreadable expression on his face. Aleks felt his heart hammer against his chest and wondered if it was loud enough for Sly to hear. He took slow and deep breaths to calm himself, trying his best to remind himself that they would still be the best of friends either way.

"I-I don't know," Sly responded, sighing shakily.

"Okay, let me rephrase that, how do you feel?"

"About what?"

"About me," the nervous YouTuber said firmly.

He saw Eddie think his answer through fully, adding tension to the stressful atmosphere.

"Ever since we've met, I've always felt weird around you. I always get nervous, or happy, or flustered. I get this feeling I've never had before, with anyone. I don't know what it is about you, but you always make my heart beat a little faster or my thoughts hazy enough for me to not let me come up with a good comeback to your insults. I'm so happy with you, like nothing else matters. When I realized what I made you do to yourself by ignoring you, I kept thinking about how much of a stupid fuck-up I was to not notice what it was doing to you. And when we kissed, all my feelings multiplied. I got even more flustered around you, I felt happier. I don't know what my feelings were because I've never felt them before, so I kept my mouth shut, afraid that it drive away the friend I care for the most."

Aleks felt tears sting his eyes as he brought his hand to wipe them off.

"Why are you crying, did I say something wrong?"

Aleks laughed, "No, not at all."

"Then why are you crying?"

"I'm crying because what you're experiencing right now, is exactly what I do when I'm with you and that makes me happy."

"Wait, if you feel the exact same as I do, does that mean I... love you?"

Aleks nodded vigorously, wiping more tears that were running down his cheeks.

Eddie beamed, "That explains everything! I love you so much, Aleks. I'm so, so sorry for making you wait this long."

"Do you really love me?" Aleks asked, hiccuping from a sob.

Eddie nodded again, his smile growing even longer.

He wanted to make sure, make sure this wasn't a lie or a trick.

"Prove it to me," he whispered.

"What?"

"Prove it to me, please, I want to know this isn't a trick."

Eddie smiled warmly and cupped Aleks' cheek with one hand, bringing his face close enough to hear Sly's sharp breathing on his longing lips.

He didn't take a second to hesitate and closed the small space between them, smashing their lips together.

He placed his arms around his neck and nibbled on Eddie's bottom lip, causing the other to moan softly.

He felt Sly lick his own bottom lip, asking for entrance. He granted it without waiting more than a second.

He let Eddie win the battle and explore his mouth. He moaned when the bubbly Creature used his free hand to run his hand through his brown locks and tug on them slightly.

They parted to catch their breaths. As soon as they did, he grinned lovingly at Eddie and felt joy surge through him when the smile was returned in the same loving manner.

"Aleks, I love you so much."

"I love you too," he responded gleefully, ecstatic that he could finally say this to the man he loved so dearly.

"I know this is a little fast but, Aleksandr, will you give me the pleasure of calling you mine?"

Tears threatened to spill once more as he hugged his soon-to-be boyfriend.

"Of course Eddie, as long as you promise one thing."

He felt put his arms around him and pull him closer, close enough to hear his heartbeat.

"What is it?"

He snuggled into the crook of Sly's neck before replying, his voice muffled.

"Never, ever ignore me again."

He felt Eddie's body vibrate with a small laugh.

"I wouldn't dream of it."

"I love you so much."

"I love you too."
