Chapter 9 - More Than Friends

                --Story's POV--

        James awoke and rolled over in his bed. He yawned loudly and scratched his scruffy beard. Today Kevin and Steven were going to go back. Though they didn't do as much things as was hoped with The Creatures, they already pre-bought the plane tickets. James forced himself out of his bed and gathered his essentials to shower and trim his beard. He walked passed Aleks' room and downstairs to the bathroom. He lazily stripped himself from his clothes and threw them in a pile in the corner of the room. As he went to turn on the shower, the door clicked open and Aleks walked in.

"Oh shit what the fu-- uh.."

        He turned around quickly as his face flushed red. He scratched the back of his neck and shut the door.

"Hey uh.. sorry... um.. Why didn't you lock the fucking door?!"

        James smirked and leaned up to the door. "Oh I'm sorry. Didn't like what you saw?~" Aleks began to turn redder and cleared his throat as he headed back towards the stairs. He ran up to his room and shut the door behind himself, falling onto the bed. He placed his hands over his face and sighed loudly. He fixed his pants uncomfortably (eheh hint hint nudge nudge you know why) and furrowed his brows.

"What the fuck is happening in my life.." He groaned under his breath and grabbed his stuff to say goodbye to Kevin and Steven. 

        James hopped out of the shower and turned it off. He wrapped a towel loosely around his waist and grabbed his razor. Once he turned it on he began to slightly trim his messy hair. Aleks heard the razor going on and decided to knock on the door, assuming he was clothed, to ask if he wanted a ride (ignoring the awkward encounter). James didn't seem to hear so Aleks slowly slid the door open.

"Oh what the f- OW god dammit!" Unaware that Aleks was coming in, James jumped at the movement of the door and cut his chin with the razor trying to hold his towel up. He flicked the razor off and set it on the sink, glaring at Aleks from the corner of his eye and taking a deep breath. He rubbed the cut on his chin and turned his head towards Aleks, signaling for him to talk.

"Oh.. Uh I-I'm sorry I didn't.." he paused to clear his throat, "anyways uh.. I was going to ask if you wanted a- uh.. ride to the office.."

"Can you fucking wait ten god damn minutes for me to finish?"

        Aleks nodded his head and shut the door abruptly, walking to sit on the couch. He took out his phone and awkwardly scrolled though everything, trying to find something to distract himself. 

                --Aleks' POV--

        I ran my hands through my hair and leaned back onto the couch. I don't like James. That's stupid.. I like Eddie. No. I love Eddie. As I argued with myself in my mind I heard the bathroom door click open and didn't dare to look over, in case he wanted to fucking walk out naked or something. 

"Don't look I'm naked. I need to grab my clothes."

        Yeah I figured. I grabbed my keys and headed outside to wait in the car. Maybe I'll call Eddie.. I scrolled through my contacts to Eddies' name. I clicked the small green phone icon and put the phone against my ear. I tapped my fingers against the steering wheel impatiently. Finally, after what felt like hours, I heard the voice I was hoping for.

"Hello?"

        I sighed with relief and smiled. "Hey Eddie. Are you at the office?"

"Uh. Yeah. Why are you calling me..?"

        I opened my mouth to speak but heard Seamus giggling in the background of the call. Okay..? When does he giggle.. "Um. I just called to say that. I- I love you. A lot. And I hope you know that."
