At around 10pm that night, Elijah walked into his room to see Albert sitting on his bed, so he proceeded to sit next to him. "I like your pants."
"Thanks, they were 50% off."
"I'd like them 100% off," Elijah smirked, brushing the waist of the pants.
"Fine," Albert smirked back. He stood up and slid off his fuzzy rainbow pants, revealing a pair of dark boxers.
Elijah just looked at him, deer in the headlights. "I was joking," he shakingly (because that's a word) chuckled, blushing.
"Do you think I care?" Albert whispered. "You excited for your birthday tomorrow?"
Elijah put an arm around Albert and nodded. "Yeah," he said, exasperated, resting his head in the dip of Albert's neck, eyes closed.
"Something up?"
"I'll either be given no attention at all, or have to share it,"
"Because you share your birthday with your brother?"
Elijah nodded at that.
"Let him have the attention. I'll give you ALL the attention you want," he laughed.
Elijah returned the expression. "I love your smile."
"Why's that?"
"It pins me to the floor uncontrollably."
"I don't see you on the floor."
"Haha, very funny," Elijah added sarcastically, leaving Albert with a soft chuckle.
They just looked at each other, cheeks both pink. Elijah stifled a laugh, but Albert just smiled, causing Elijah to smile a smile full of happiness and to increase his laughing volume. Albert guffawed alongside his joyful saving grace. In the process, the two ended up laying on the bed, cores tight after all the giggles.
"Goodnight, Flamingo," Elijah whispered into Albert's neck.
"Goodnight, Skoopy."
Within seconds of Albert turning off the lamp and closing his eyes, Elijah was already chuckling.
"What is it?"
Elijah's chuckling and giggling only got worse.
"What?!"
"Look outside."
Albert strained his neck in the process. "I can't."
With a groan, Elijah got up and let Albert go to the window to see what Elijah was laughing about. He was greeted with Elijah's arms around his waist and.. Ethan and Jake kissing on the back porch; Ethan wearing a blue shirt and Jake wearing a white tank top.
"What a beautiful... sight," Albert added, trying to prevent a laugh from escaping, but ended up falling to the floor in amusement. Elijah plopped next to him, laughing along.
After a few seconds of their giggles calming, Elijah put a hand on Albert's shoulder and kissed him.
"Two happily-ever-afters tonight, huh?" Albert murmured.
"I guess so," Elijah smirked, and kissed him again, a hand on his cheek.
They both smiled when Albert pulled Elijah closer, but snickered when they heard noises from outside.
"They're enjoying their happily-ever-after,"
Elijah smiled warmly. "I guess so. But don't we wanna enjoy ours?"
"Yeah," Albert whispered, kissing Elijah for the third time as Elijah's hand slid to the waist of his boxers.
Tonight was going to be a good night.
