Alvin and Simon: Part 1
"Come on Alvin... Knock it off." Simon grumbled as Alvin jumped onto his bed. As often as this happened, Simon felt like he should be used to it by now. "Alvin! I said get off!" Simon yelled, angrily sitting up and reaching for his glasses.
"Come on, get up Simon!" Alvin said excitedly. "You know what today is don't ya?"
It took Simon a minute and then a big smile started to find its way onto his face. Of course! How could he forget vacation day?! It's all he's thought about for the last month! They were nominated for an award at the IMA's and were scheduled to perform live for the audience. Instead of flying there for the awards and then flying straight back, Dave decided to make it into a week long family vacation. Uh, hello cruise!
"That's what I thought!" Alvin laughed, seeing Simon grin, and then he jumped down from Simon's bed to go wake his other younger brother, Theodore.
While Alvin went to go bother Theodore, Simon tried his best to rub the sleepiness out of his eyes and started making sure he had everything packed for the cruise. He put on his blue hoodie and made sure he had clothes for every event he could imagine himself attending. Swimsuit, obviously. Formal wear, just in case they ate with the captain. He also made sure to pack an extra pair of glasses and some glass cleaner, because when staying in a room with Alvin, you never knew what was going to go wrong.
Alvin was literally dragging Theodore out of bed as Theodore was loudly snoring. "I can't believe he isn't getting up!" Alvin grunted. "Try something food related," Simon yawned, rolling his eyes.
"Good call, Si! Ahem... Oh boy, is Dave making strawberry pancakes?!" Alvin yelled.
ZOOM! Simon felt the wind as Theodore crashed past him on his way down the stairs to the kitchen. Silence, and then the boys heard "Hey! Dave isn't even down here!"
Alvin and Simon both started laughing when they heard the disappointment in Theodore's voice. Simon went back to organizing his bag as Alvin took out his own duffel bag and started throwing random clothes in there.
"You aren't even packed yet?!" Simon squealed?
"Not yet, dad." Alvin said sarcastically. "It's not like I need to really bring anything. I've got my trusty sweatshirt, and my lucky swimsuit. What else could I possibly need?"
"Uh, how about something nice? You know, so you don't embarrass me and Dave and everyone else... and me." Simon said.
"Yeah, out of the two of us, I'm the embarrassment." Alvin shot back. Simon could take Alvin's remarks most of the time, so he just let the insult bounce off him, which as always, disarmed Alvin. "But I guess it wouldn't really be a bad idea to take a suit. You know, for the ladies." Alvin winked at Simon.
"Yeah, yeah. You're such a stud, Alvin." Simon sighed, closing his bag. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable. "Let's hurry and get downstairs so we can actually get something to eat. You know, before Theodore eats it all."
"Way ahead of you bro!" Alvin yelled already halfway to the stairs. Simon ran after him down to the kitchen where Theodore already had a box of cereal open and was noisily crunching his breakfast.
While the three chipmunk brothers ate their way through a box of cereal, they heard the car door slam outside and in walked Dave with the newest members of their odd little family: Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor.
"Where were you, Dave?" asked Theodore. "I thought you forgot us."
"Of course I wouldn't forget you boys." Dave replied, bringing Theodore in for a hug. "I had to take the girls to pick out some new swimsuits. Apparently the ones they had were a little too lame."
"Uh, yeah Dave. They were, like, three months old." Brittany said, snapping her fingers. "I won't be caught dead in anything but the best."
"Ugh... Drama." Simon thought to himself.
"Hey let's see the suits, Britt!" Alvin said, hopping to the edge of the table.
The three girls held up their suits and gave their biggest, cheesiest smiles. The suits were like silk material tied together with an ultra thin string. "What's the point of wearing something that doesn't cover anything?" Simon thought to himself again.
"Hahaha nice!" Alvin exclaimed, doing the cartoon eye bulge and jaw drop. Dave shook his head at Alvin's display, and walked out of the room. "How about that, Simon?!" Alvin said, nudging him in the ribs. "Ouch! Uh, yeah they look really, uh, great." Simon said, hoping his brother would stop making things awkward for him. He felt uncomfortable again, but he could tell there was something more to it. He just didn't know what it was. "Yeah, you look pretty!" Theodore chimed in.
"Aw, thanks guys." the three girls said, blushing.
Simon hopped off the table to avoid any more jabs in the side. He ran after Dave and caught up with him in his bedroom. "So when are we leaving?" Simon asked, trying his hardest not to sound like an eager kid, even though he kind of was one. "As soon as I've finished packing, we'll be on our way." Dave said, running a brush through his hair. "Sigh... He's as bad as Alvin." Simon thought. "What was that, Simon?" Dave yelled from the bathroom? Whoops! How'd that slip out? "Uh, nothing Dave!" Simon yelled running out of the room to find the others.
When Dave finally came out of his room with a suitcase in each hand, all six of the chipmunks were waiting by the door with sparkling eyes and excited smiles. Dave couldn't help but smile too. "You guys ready?" "Girls too!" Jeanette yelled! "It's just an expre... Oh never mind. Are you guys AND girls ready?" Dave contented. The chipmunks jumped up and down and cheered! "Alright, let's go!"
And they were off on a trip that would change their lives forever.
The plan was to fly out of L.A. and head on down to Florida where the cruise ship would be leaving from. Dave drove them to the airport and they got there with just about thirty minutes to spare. This turned out to not be a problem, seeing as the Chipmunks and Chipettes don't really need to be screened. (It's hard to hide a weapon on a Chipmunk.)
They hurried through the terminal, looking for their gate, and found it just in time. A woman took the tickets from Dave and the whole gang ran through the ramp until they finally got to the plane itself. Dave led them back through the aisle, looking for which seats they had. Simon heard the whispers and saw the excited pointing in his direction. Sometimes he forgot he was part of a super successful group of singing Chipmunks.
They finally got to their group of seats. Dave got them three seats right together, which was great because Simon didn't really feel like squeezing in next to someone he didn't know.
"Alright guys, I figured I'll sit in the middle, you boys can sit together, and the girls can share the other seat." Dave told them.
"Ok Dave!" Eleanor said excitedly, hopping into a seat.
"Awww come on Dave!" Alvin whined. "Can't I sit with Brittany? I don't want to be stuck sitting by Theodore or Simon! They're sooooo annoying!"
Simon was going to argue with Alvin but the words got stuck in his throat. He didn't exactly know why, but that really hurt his feelings. Obviously, at this point, he should've expected Alvin to say something like that, but this time it stung. His slightly older brother annoyed him constantly, and he hated that he always had to clean up his brother's messes, but at the end of the day he kind of looked up to Alvin. Simon really cared about what Alvin thought about him, as much as he hated admitting that to himself. Simon just put his head down and glanced over at the others. Alvin was kind of staring at him with a confused look on his face. He expected a comeback too, Simon guessed.
"No... I'd rather you just sit with your brothers." Dave replied, not going into details as to why.
"Ok fine..." Alvin sighed. Now it was Dave's turn to look confused. It's not every day that Alvin does what he's told without some sort of bribery or punishment involved.
They settled into their seats. The girls sat on the outside, closest to the aisle. Dave was in the middle, like he said, so he could keep an eye on everyone. And Alvin, Simon, and Theodore took the window seat. Theodore was closest to Dave, then Alvin was in the middle, and Simon was right next to the window. He just sat staring out at the runway as everyone else chatted about what to expect when they got on the cruise.
As the plane began to roll away from the airport and down the runway, he could feel everyone looking in his direction so that they could watch the plane take off. Simon made sure he didn't turn around so he didn't have to make eye contact with Alvin. He was still pretty upset with his brother.
After the plane took off and everyone had calmed down from the adrenaline rush that came with a speeding vehicle leaving the ground, Simon still just stared out the window. "It's a five hour flight to Florida and I'm sitting next to somebody that doesn't even like me." Simon thought miserably. "I guess I'll just take a nap." He had that feeling again, but he still couldn't put his finger on what exactly it was.
He started to cozy up in the corner when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up as Alvin asked, "What are you doing?"
"Trying to take a nap, if that's ok with you." Simon said while still trying to get comfortable. "Sorry if I'm annoying you, though." he said angrily.
"Why would that annoy me?" Alvin asked, looking confused. "Are you mad at me or something?"
"Of course not, Alvin. Why would I be mad at you?" Simon snapped. "It's not like you constantly insult me or anything..." Simon turned over and snuggled up in the corner, hoping his brother would just leave him alone so he could fall asleep and forget about everything for a bit.
About a minute passed and then Simon heard Alvin sigh. "I'm guessing you're mad that I called you annoying..." he said to the back of Simon's head. Simon didn't turn around.
"I'm... Uh... I'm sorry I called you annoying, Si." Alvin said softly.
Simon heard how sincere Alvin's apology was, and it made him feel warm and fuzzy all over. (No pun intended.)But at the same time, he felt kind of bad. Why was he making Alvin apologize for something so stupid? Why did he care so much about what Alvin thought of him?
Simon turned over and looked at his brother. Alvin actually looked a little nervous, like he didn't know how Simon would react. "It's ok, Alvin." Simon said, looking away from his brother's brown eyes. "It's my fault, though. I shouldn't have overreacted. You say things like that all the time, but I guess this time I wasn't expecting it." That was the closest he would come to admitting how much he admired his older brother.
Alvin frowned a little. "I shouldn't be so hard on you all the time, I guess." he said. "It's the least I can do for my favorite brother." he whispered, winking.
"Alvin! Shhh!" Simon squealed, looking over at Theodore. He knew it was wrong, but it made him feel good knowing that his brother liked him the most. It even brought a smile to his face.
Alvin grinned too, now that he knew his brother wasn't mad anymore. "Don't think I'm giving you a free pass, though!" Alvin said, returning to his normal, mischievous self. Simon gave him a playful shove. "Bring it." he said, smiling.
Alvin playfully shoved him against the window and Simon pushed him back and they started a wrestling match right there in the seat. "Boys, knock it off." Dave scolded. "Sorry Dave." both boys said, panting from their little scuffle. Now that Simon had patched things up with his brother, he didn't feel all that tired anymore. Alvin gave Simon another playful shove and sat back up to put his earbuds in so he could listen to his specially made iPod.
Simon figured he'd just chat with the others and maybe watch the movie that was about to start. It looked like it was going to be some sort of romantic comedy. He figured he could use a laugh or two and he didn't mind the romantic part, but when he usually watched some sort of romantic movie, he couldn't really relate to it.
He thought about the girls in the seat on the other side of Dave. He really did like them, especially Jeanette. She was smart and kind, and Simon really got along with her. But he never felt the sort of connection that Alvin seemed to have with Brittany. By that, he meant that he wasn't "attracted" to her. He didn't really know why, but he never really thought of her as someone he'd want to date. That made things awkward sometimes, because it almost seemed like he was expected to be with her. Alvin had Brittany, and Theodore had Eleanor. Although both Theodore and Eleanor were a little too immature to be thinking about a serious relationship, Simon knew that someday they would be perfect for each other.
Simon sometimes felt that there was something wrong with him. He never felt like he could talk to anyone about it, though. He knew if he mentioned it to Alvin, he'd make fun of him. And Dave would just tell him he's too young to be worried about relationships. So he just went along with the group and tried to keep up.
As the movie started, Alvin took his earbuds out for a few seconds to see what the movie was. He groaned, and then put them back in and closed his eyes. "I guess it's a little to girly for big, bad Alvin." Simon thought to himself. The headphone jack to listen to the movie was on Theodore's side, so Simon tapped on Alvin's shoulder. "Hey could you plug this in for me." Simon asked pointing to the arm rest. "You're watching this?" Alvin asked smirking. Simon glared at him until Alvin took the cord. "Ok, ok. Sorry! Just playing." Alvin said grabbing it from Simon and leaning over to plug it in. "Thanks, Alvin." Simon said, leaning back to watch the movie.
Alvin just "mmm hmmm'ed" him and sat back down to keep listening to his iPod. Simon watched as he closed his eyes again. It looked like he was going to try to take a nap. Since he was sitting in the middle, it was hard to get into a comfortable position.
Simon turned back to watch the movie. He felt Alvin shifting in the seat again and felt something on his shoulder. Simon looked over and saw that Alvin had his head resting on his shoulder. Normally, Simon would have shrugged Alvin off, but he was once again surprised by himself. He didn't mind at all. In fact, it made him feel kind of good to know that Alvin didn't mind being so close to him. Simon didn't quite know why Alvin had so much sway over his emotions at the moment, but he wasn't really analyzing it right now. He was just enjoying the feeling of happiness that took over his thoughts.
Simon could tell that Alvin had expected to get pushed back to his side of the seat. When Alvin's head first rested on his shoulder, Simon could feel the tension in his neck, like he expected the jab from Simon at any second. Simon just smiled and continued to watch the movie. He could feel Alvin look up at his face and when he saw that Simon wasn't going to throw him off, he relaxed and kind of snuggled into Simon's shoulder. Simon knew that Alvin was just as surprised that he was allowed to lay there.
After a couple of minutes, Simon could hear Alvin's breathing get more relaxed as he fell asleep. The rhythmic breathing was starting to make Simon tired all over again. Since he couldn't lean against the wall without moving Alvin, he decided to just go along with it and lean his head on Alvin's. He smiled to himself at how comfortable he was and how he loved to listen to Alvin breathe. What was wrong with him? Once again, he didn't analyze it and just stayed where he was.
Simon noticed Dave look over at them and they made eye contact. Dave lifted an eyebrow and Simon just shrugged. Dave smiled and turned back to watch the remainder of the movie. Theodore was passed out too, so Simon didn't feel as self conscious as he might have had other people been watching. But at the same time, he didn't care. All he knew was that he was happy, and with that thought he drifted off to sleep.
Simon was jostled awake by a particularly rough patch of turbulence. It took him a moment to remember where he was and then he noticed Alvin still sleeping on his shoulder. Every emotion he had felt just a few hours earlier came rushing back, and the result was an instant smile.
The way Alvin was laying on Simon's shoulder was causing Simon's arm to fall asleep. He didn't want to move his arm for fear of waking Alvin, but the feeling was unbearable. Simon thought about moving his arm up so Alvin would be leaning on his chest a little more and Simon could drape his arm over Alvin's shoulders. This would be good for two reasons. One, he wanted feeling back in his right arm. And two, he wanted to be closer to Alvin. That even sounded strange in his head, but he went ahead with his plan anyway.
He gently started to raise his arm. "So far, so good." Simon thought. He got his arm straight up in the air without moving Alvin too much, and he stretched it as much as he could. Before he could bring his arm back down, Alvin shifted and slid down onto Simon's lap. Simon froze. He didn't know what to do. He didn't want to wake Alvin up, because then he'd go back to his side of the seat. Simon was afraid that this connection they had made was a one time deal, and he wanted to savor it for as long as possible. On the other hand, he was afraid that if he didn't wake his brother up right now, Alvin would wake up on his own and find he was laying in Simon's lap. Simon didn't know how Alvin would react, but his first guess was anger.
Before he made his decision, the plane was rocked again by a blast of turbulence. This time, the plane rocked a little more. Everyone in the plain bounced a little, but when you're a chipmunk, a simple bounce sends you rocketing into the air, especially when you paid no attention to the 'fasten seat belts' light. Alvin and Simon bounced about a foot in the air and came crashing down on top of each other.
Alvin landed first on his back, and Simon landed on top of him. What are the odds? Alvin had a moment similar to Simon's where it took him a moment to remember where he was. Then he noticed Simon on top of him and looked at him questioningly. "Uh... Buy me dinner first?" Alvin said, smiling at his own joke.
Simon scrambled off of his brother, apologizing. "Sorry, Alvin. I, uh, was sleeping and then my arm, uh, I mean your lap, no my lap, and the turbulence..." Simon just stopped talking. It wasn't helping anything. "It's fine, bro. I was just kidding. Geez, you're defensive." Alvin said, stretching his arms and legs. "I'm not defensive!" Simon panicked. Alvin paused mid-stretch to raise an eyebrow at Simon. "Whatever you say, Si."
Simon mentally kicked himself for acting so weird. Nothing bad happened. Why was he suddenly so awkward around Alvin? He tried to regroup his thoughts before speaking again. "Sleep good?" was all he could think to say. "Yeah I did, thanks to you!" Alvin said, looking to see where his iPod landed. "By the way, thanks for letting me lay on your shoulder. I hate trying to keep myself upright while I sleep. I definitely owe you." Alvin said, smiling. "Uh, anytime, Alvin!" Simon said quickly. "You can lay on me whenever you want." Alvin looked at Simon with an amused look on his face and went back to looking for his iPod. Simon mentally kicked himself again.
Dave and the others were awake now too. The captain came on the intercom to let the passengers know that they would be landing in 15 minutes. "Alright, guys. Make sure you have all of your stuff." Dave told them. Alvin found his iPod and put it away in his bag. Simon put his headphones away and sat looking out the window at the approaching ground. It was about seven o'clock p.m. and the sun was setting over the blue expanse of the Ocean. It sent shivers of excitement up his spine to know that they would be out on it the very next day.
After the plane landed, everyone rushed off the plane and headed for baggage claim and the taxi service desk. The hotel was about forty five minutes away, so Dave wanted to hurry and get going. He was tired from the long day of traveling and he wanted to catch some shut eye before they woke up early for the cruise. Since they didn't check any of their baggage, they were among the first to get in line. They immediately got a car and Dave hurried them outside to hop in.
Alvin was leading the group and Simon was running to catch up so he could sit next to him. He was hoping that Alvin might need someone to lean on again. Or at the very least, he could be by him and just chat with him. He found it slightly ironic that he'd spent his whole life trying to avoid Alvin, but now he was trying to be as close as possible to him.
Simon was running so fast, he didn't notice the crack in the sidewalk directly in front of him. His foot got caught and he flew forward doing a front flip in the air and landing on his back. He just laid there for a second, catching his breath. "I am such an idiot..." Simon thought to himself. "Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't be so focused on Alvin."
Simon felt someone grab his hands and yank him to his feet. "You ok, Si?" Alvin asked, sounding concerned. Alvin's brown eyes were staring directly into his. He had never noticed how beautiful Alvin's eyes were. Simon quickly looked away, fearing that Alvin could sense what he was thinking. He managed to nod a little. "Ok, well let's go!" Alvin said, yanking his arm. Simon ran after him and jumped in the backseat of the cab. The driver shut the door and they were off on their way to the hotel.
"You sure you're ok?" Alvin asked, looking Simon up and down. "Yeah I'm fine now. Thanks for helping me up." Simon replied, smiling at his older brother. Alvin smiled back and turned to talk to Brittany, who was sitting on the other side of him. "So much for signs." Simon thought. "It got me a seat next to Alvin."
He watched Alvin talking to Brittany and he suddenly felt that uncomfortable feeling that he had been experiencing recently. This time, Simon knew what the feeling was, though. He was jealous. He couldn't believe it. Simon was jealous that Alvin wasn't paying attention to him. Simon knew something was up at that moment. He spent his whole life wishing that his brother would just leave him alone, and now he was upset that Alvin was talking to Brittany.
Brittany kept giggling at whatever Alvin was saying to her, and Simon started to get angry. He liked Brittany, but at this moment, he was just annoyed with her. Simon wished that Alvin would turn his way and talk to him about, well, anything! But he kept on chatting with Brittany. "I guess I don't blame him." Simon thought sadly. "Why would he want to talk to his nerdy brother when he could be talking to someone he really likes?"
Even though there were five others in the cab, Simon felt alone. He just sat silently and stared out the window. "Oh come on, you aren't mad at me again, are ya?" he heard Alvin ask. "Of course not! Why would I be?" Simon said, quickly turning back towards Alvin and the others. "I don't know, you just had that same sad look on your face that you had on the plane. You know, when I said you're annoying?" Alvin said.
"I'm ok, I promise." Simon lied. Alvin wasn't buying it. "Are you sure there isn't something on your mind?" he asked, looking into Simon's eyes. "You can talk to me, you know." Simon wanted nothing more than to try and explain how he's been feeling, but he was afraid that Alvin wouldn't understand. Being made fun of was one thing, but freaking Alvin out would kill Simon. Plus, it looked like Brittany was eavesdropping on the conversation, so Simon just smiled and nodded his head. "I know, thanks Alvin. But I'm fine, really." Alvin watched his eyes and gave a half smile right back. Simon didn't know if he was imagining it or not, but Alvin looked a little disappointed.
Simon told himself to stop moping. It was causing problems and the last thing he wanted was Alvin to think that there was a problem between them. Simon put on a smile and joined in the conversations to put Alvin's mind at ease. He didn't know if he was imagining it or not, again, but Alvin seemed a little less chatty. And not as hyper as he usually was.
They finally got to the hotel and Dave checked them in to their room. Dave got the key and they made their way upstairs to see where it was. When Dave put the key in the slot and opened the door, all six chipmunks ran inside to explore their new home for the night. There were two beds pressed up against the wall with a nightstand in the middle. There was a little step over to the side which took them down into what might be the family room. A couch was against the wall of the family room with a t.v. right across from it sitting on top of a dresser.
Dave was exhausted and he immediately fell down onto one of the two beds in the room. He mumbled something about everyone getting ready for bed and to turn the lights off in 15 minutes. Dave had the one bed and Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor called the other bed because "we're girls. We deserve the bed."
Alvin suggested that they just sleep on the couch, which was honestly plenty of room for the three boys. There weren't any extra blankets in the closet, so Simon went and found a few hand towels they could use. They were the perfect size, and they were incredibly soft!
Dave was already asleep and the girls were almost done getting ready for bed. Theodore turned the t.v. on and had it on Animal Planet, of course. He turned it down low and cuddled up in the towel to fall asleep. Alvin was getting comfortable in the corner of his cushion, and Simon was just laying there, alternating between watching the t.v. and watching Alvin. After about ten minutes, Simon noticed that Alvin stopped fidgeting and appeared to be asleep.
Unfortunately, Dave had fallen asleep so quickly that he hadn't had time to adjust the thermostat. The room was freezing. Simon would have turned it up himself, but the panel was in the middle of the wall with no furniture around it. So Simon just wrapped the towel up around his head so only his face was exposed and sat there shivering, waiting to get warm.
Simon looked over at Alvin again and noticed that he was shivering too. Simon jumped up and grabbed his towel. He went over to Alvin and put his towel over the other one, being very careful not to wake him. He tucked the edges down under Alvin's body so less heat would escape. He watched as Alvin slowly stopped shivering. Simon smiled and went back to where he was sitting before. Now he was even colder, of course, but knowing that Alvin was comfortable made it all worth it. Simon curled up in a ball and closed his eyes, hoping the room would magically warm up so he could get some much needed sleep.
"Simon?" Simon put his head up and looked over at Alvin. Alvin was sitting up with the towels still around him. "Aren't you cold?" he asked quietly. "It's not too bad." Simon replied. "I was kinda hot, actually." he lied. Alvin looked at him for a second, and then gave Simon a little smile. "You're a terrible liar, you know." Simon smiled a little too. "I'm not lying, I swear." he said, as a visible shiver rocked through his body, making his teeth rattle. Alvin just shook his head. "Get over here." he said, lifting the towels.
Simon started to get nervous. He wanted nothing more than to cuddle up with Alvin under the warm towels, but he was still confused as to WHY he wanted to cuddle up with Alvin under the warm towels. "Come on, hurry up! You're letting all the cold air in." Alvin whined. Simon didn't know what to say so he just scampered over to where Alvin was laying and laid down next to him. Alvin gave him the towel to tuck under his body so they would stay warm. They just laid there shivering, facing each other, waiting for the warmth to come back.
"Thanks Alvin." Simon finally whispered. He couldn't look away from Alvin's mesmerizing eyes. "What are you talking about? I should be thanking you." Alvin whispered back. "Plus, I told you that I owe you!" The warmth was finally setting in and both boys were starting to stop shivering. Simon was now aware of how close he and Alvin actually were. They were practically laying on each other! Simon couldn't believe that Alvin was ok with sleeping this close to his nerdy brother.
Alvin finally looked away from Simon's eyes. "Night." Alvin whispered and then turned over so that his back was to Simon. "Night, Alvin." Simon whispered back. He didn't know where to put his hands so they awkwardly stayed at his side while he stared at the back of Alvin's head. It was still a little cold and Simon noticed that Alvin was still shivering a little every now and then.
Simon decided to do something that would either blow up in his face, or turn out to be a great idea. He scooted closer to Alvin and draped his arm over Alvin's chest. Moment of truth time. Simon waited for the "get off me" or the more subtle scoot away. But Alvin surprised him yet again. Simon felt him slide back a little to let Simon's arm drape all the way over him. Alvin immediately stopped shivering as Simon hugged him to his body.
Simon took another chance and nuzzled his face into the back of Alvin's neck. He loved the way Alvin smelled, like a subtle hint of cologne that Alvin loved to wear and a boyish smell that can't really be explained. He loved the way Alvin breathed, and how sometimes he could hear him give a small, satisfied sigh. He loved the way he could feel Alvin's heart beating in time with his. He loved... He loved Alvin.
It was like a bolt of lightning hit him. Simon loved Alvin. He's always loved him as a brother, and sometimes it was difficult to even keep up that affection. But this feeling was different, and he could tell. All the jealousy he felt, all the nervousness, all the heartache, all the happiness... Simon couldn't believe how so much had changed in such a short amount of time. He went from being annoyed by his older brother to being in love with him.
Simon almost wanted to talk about how he was feeling, but he felt Alvin's chest rising steadily and heard his breathing even out. He wasn't going to wake Alvin up to talk about his emotions. He might get annoyed, or worse, disgusted. Simon decided to just enjoy the time he was spending with Alvin, and honestly, it was good enough right now.
As he started to drift off to sleep, holding Alvin close to him, with his head buried in his neck, he couldn't remember ever feeling happier. "I love you, Alvin." Simon whispered. That was his last thought before sleep took him.
Simon woke up when he felt the sun shining on his face. It appeared that Dave forgot to shut the blinds. Simon opened his eye and found himself face to face with his sleeping brother. As always, it took a second for the previous night's memories to come crashing back, and when they did, Simon was grinning from ear to ear. He still had his arm draped over Alvin, but now they were facing each other, and Alvin's arm had found its way over Simon's body as well, so they were, in a sense, hugging.
Simon was reminded of how he had come to the realization that he loved Alvin. He watched him sleep and couldn't help but think about how cute he looked. His little nose was perfect. His puff of hair was perfectly messy. His cute mouth was slightly open and Simon loved listening to his heavy breathing. And Simon really loved Alvin's brown eyes, but of course he couldn't see them. He really wished he could...
Alvin's eyes slowly blinked open and he found himself looking into the eyes of his slightly younger brother. "Uh... Hey Simon." he said as his eyes adjusted to the light. Simon was very aware that he and Alvin were unbelievably close underneath the towels that they had covered up with. If Simon leaned forward just a little, their lips would be touching. Simon actually kind of liked that idea, now that he thought about it. But he was pretty sure his older brother wouldn't be as excited. He really didn't want to get up from where he was, but he also didn't want to make Alvin uncomfortable. So he sat up and let the towels fall off of him.
"Hey Alvin." Simon said, stretching. Alvin sat up too and mimicked Simon's stretching. "How'd you sleep?" Simon asked. Apparently, that was all he could ever think of when he tried to make small talk. "I slept great!" he replied, still stretching. "It helps that you're like an electric blanket." Alvin said, winking at Simon. Simon was glad that Alvin didn't feel weird about sleeping together like that.
"How about you?" Alvin asked, glancing up at him. Simon looked down away from his eyes and smiled a little. "I've never slept better." he said softly. Simon looked back up at Alvin to watch his reaction. He thought it looked like a mixture of relief and pride, like maybe he was just as relieved that Simon wasn't concerned about their sleeping arrangement. They both stood there not knowing what to say or do. Simon knew what he wanted to do though. He wanted to snuggle up with Alvin again and just lay there. Maybe stare into his eyes and slowly lean in to... Simon shook his head. He needed to distract himself before he said or did something that would get him in trouble.
"Boys, come eat breakfast and get ready to leave!" Dave shouted from the bathroom. "Perfect timing." Simon thought, as he jumped off the couch with Alvin and the half asleep Theodore. The three of them ran into the kitchen where Dave had poured them bowls of cereal. Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor were already dressed and eating. "Hey!" all six of them said in unison. They all ate quickly and the boys took quick showers. After they gathered all of their stuff together, they piled into the taxi Dave got for them and were off to the loading dock. "Here we come cruise!" Simon thought excitedly. He looked at Alvin, who was siting right next to him, and caught his eye. They both smiled and Alvin winked at him. Simon gave him a playful nudge. "There is no one I'd rather be with at this moment." Simon thought happily. Little did he know that this was only the beginning.
Before they even boarded the ship, Alvin had already gotten himself into trouble. Simon heard him yell something about the bathroom when they first got out of the taxi, and he ran off towards the ship. Dave had a lot on his mind, so he didn't notice Alvin running off ahead. It wasn't until they got up to the loading ramp that Dave noticed he was missing. "Where's Alvin?" he asked, only counting five chipmunks. "Right here, Dave!" Alvin yelled, sliding down the rope from the ship to the dock. Apparently Alvin had already boarded the ship and managed to find their room, order them all drinks, and claim which bed would be his. Dave and Alvin had a short argument about rules, and after Dave was satisfied that Alvin had listened, they boarded the ship.
"Woooooow!" they all said together. The ship was huge! Simon couldn't wait to explore the ship, but Dave insisted that they take all of their stuff to the room. When they got to the room, Simon's jaw dropped. It was absolutely incredible! Dave had gotten them some sort of deluxe room package. There were three bedrooms, each with a king size bed, a squishy couch, and its own bathroom, a small kitchen, a family room with an electric fireplace and a mounted flat screen t.v., not to mention the flat screen t.v.'s in each bedroom. It was the coolest room Simon had ever seen.
Simon saw everyone else's jaws drop as well. Even Dave didn't expect the room to be this nice. They could almost get away with spending all their time inside their room, but Simon wanted to explore the ship ASAP. Simon knew that Alvin wanted to go out and look at the ship too, so he caught his eye and motioned towards the hallway with his head. Alvin nodded and smiled and they both slowly backed away from the group and slipped out into the hall. Once they got outside the door, they both took off running, laughing for no reason. They had no idea where they were going, but they were already having tons of fun!
Alvin took the lead as they ran through the ship's halls. Simon couldn't help but notice that Alvin had a really cute butt. He had never thought of boys like that, especially his brother, but he definitely noticed now.
He was so distracted by his thoughts that he didn't notice Alvin had stopped running. Simon smacked right into him and they both went sliding across the floor, laughing harder than they ever have before. Alvin had stopped to look at one of the ship's maps mounted on the wall. They were both breathless once they finally calmed down enough to just sit up.
"Somebody needs a new pair of glasses." Alvin joked, still panting hard. "Yeah sorry about that. I was, uh, distracted." Simon said, trying hard not to blush. "I'm sure you were." Alvin said, giving his most evil grin. Simon nervously laughed and took off running. "Race you to the deck!" he yelled behind him. "Hey! No fair!" Alvin yelled, taking off after him.
Simon probably could have beat Alvin if the race were fair, so he wouldn't have any trouble beating Alvin with a head start. But when they were almost to the top of the ship, Simon slowed down just a little to let Alvin pass him and win. "HA!" Alvin yelled when they both stopped running. "You can't even beat me when you cheat!" Simon tried to act disappointed while he was smiling inside. Alvin thrived on winning, so losing was a win-win. Simon put up with the taunts and victory laps so that he could enjoy Alvin's good mood.
After Alvin was done gloating, they both started to explore the top deck. They tried their best to stay away from the really crowded areas, because whenever a fan spotted them, they would tell everyone around them and run up for an autograph. It got a little annoying after the hundredth time. Luckily, seeing as they were pretty small, it was easy to avoid being seen when running through the ship.
The things they thought would be the most fun were what stuck in Simon's mind the most. The pool was awesome, of course. And it had a huge slide! He was excited about the clubs too, because he loved to dance! They both even managed to explore the casino, since they were small enough to not get noticed.
"We should probably get back to the room before Dave gets too worried." Simon said to Alvin. "Yeah you're right." sighed Alvin. They ran back the way they came, weaving in between the crowds of people and pretending they didn't hear fans shouting for autographs.
When they got back to the room, Dave gave them a lecture in being responsible and not leaving without telling him where they were going. "We can have fun and follow the rules, right boys?" he asked. "Sure thing, Dave!" Alvin and Simon said. Dave made them go to their room and unpack their clothes. It took Alvin like two minutes, seeing as he had very little to unpack. Although it didn't take Simon much longer. He just needed to make sure everything was organized and put away nicely. He looked around the room again and noticed the one bed again. Simon realized that he would be sleeping with Alvin again, and he instantly got excited. If it was anything like the night before, tonight would be amazing!
After they were done, they went into the family room where everyone else was. Dave laid out the plan for the day. Since most of the day was over already, he suggested they just swim a little, eat dinner, and go to bed a little early so they could get up early the next day and just have fun. This sounded fine to everyone, especially Simon. The sooner he could snuggle up with Alvin, the better.
Swimming was going fine, until Alvin started drowning everyone. He kept jumping off the edge onto whoever was nearest to the edge. Simon was just floating on his back, relaxing, when he saw the sun blacked out by a falling chipmunk. Alvin landed on him, pushing them both under the water. Simon got hit so hard, his glasses flew off and floated to the bottom.
"Alvin!" he gasped when his head broke the surface. "Oh sorry, didn't see ya there." Alvin said, trying to keep a straight face. "I lost my glasses, and I can't see a thing." Simon said, trying not to get angry. "Maybe you should get them, then." Alvin said, shrugging. "I CAN'T SEE, ALVIN!" Simon yelled. So much for not getting mad. "Ok geez... Hang on." Alvin said, diving beneath the water. He came back up and handed Simon his glasses. "Here you are, your majesty." he said sarcastically. Simon put them on and hopped out of the pool. He was going to get Alvin back, one way or another.
Simon let Alvin swim around and get comfortable for a while, before he started to make his move. He made sure Dave was on the other side of the pool, paying attention to Theodore, and he got ready to run and jump onto Alvin. "Sweet revenge." he thought with a devilish smile. When Alvin floated close to the edge, Simon took a running leap towards him. "Got ya!" he yelled as he made contact with Alvin. Alvin's eyes snapped open as he was swept under the water.
Simon quickly swam to the surface and started laughing. "That's what you get for almost drowning me, Alvin!" he said looking around. "Alvin?" Simon said still looking. Simon happened to look down beneath the water and saw that Alvin was still under the water, and he wasn't moving.
"Alvin!" Simon yelled, panicking. He dove beneath the water and grabbed Alvin by the arm and pulled him to the surface. He swam to the side as fast as possible and with strength he didn't even know he had, he swung Alvin up and over the side of the pool. Simon jumped out and looked at Alvin's face. His eyes were closed and it didn't sound like he was breathing.
"Dave! DAVE!" Simon shouted, but Dave was still on the other side of the pool and there was no time to run and get him. Simon didn't know what to do. He remembered reading about CPR, but he was so panicked he didn't know where to start. He started to tear up as he struggled to think of an answer. "Alvin?" he whimpered. "Please get up, Alvin. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." Simon was crying now. "Please don't die. I... I love you." he choked out.
He turned away from Alvin and started yelling for help when he felt something cover his mouth. He whipped around and saw it was Alvin putting his hand over his mouth. "Simon! It's ok, I'm fine. I was just playing." Alvin said quickly. Simon was so relieved, he knocked Alvin's hand away and immediately hugged him as hard as he could. "Whoa, easy there." Alvin laughed.
Then Simon's relief was replaced with a mixture of embarrassment and anger. He was embarrassed that he had broke down in front of his brother. He was angry that Alvin had put him through all of that. For about thirty seconds, Simon's world had ended. He knew that the anger came from love and concern, but it didn't calm him down. It made him angrier.
Simon pushed Alvin away. "How could you do that to me?" Simon said, tearing up again. Alvin's smile was immediately gone, and instead he now looked scared and confused. "What? I... I was just playing." he stammered. "I just wanted..." he trailed off as Simon exploded. "You just wanted what, Alvin?! To humiliate me?! To get me in trouble?! To see me suffer while I watched the person I lo... while I watched you die?! Is that what you wanted?! Well congratulations, Alvin. Mission accomplished."
Simon ran off after yelling at his brother. "I'm sorry, Si!" he heard Alvin shout after him, but he just kept going. He realized that he couldn't go to the room, because he couldn't reach the card slot, so he just walked around the ship for a bit, feeling sorry for himself. He also felt stupid, both for breaking down in front of Alvin and for yelling at him. It was just like Alvin to do something like that, and he should've expected it or maybe just let it go, but his emotions got in the way. "I'm a mess." Simon thought sadly.
Simon saw a clock and noticed that he had five minutes to join everyone else for dinner. He walked there slowly and saw everyone sitting at a table. He noticed that the only seat left was next to Alvin. "How convenient." he thought. Simon hopped up into the chair and looked everywhere but the seat directly next to him.
"Where were you, Simon?" Jeanette asked. "Yeah, where were you, Simon?" Dave repeated. "I just went to the bathroom and then I got lost." Simon said looking at his plate of food. He wasn't very hungry, but he ate a little anyway so people wouldn't ask what's wrong. He could feel Alvin staring at him the whole time, but he just looked everywhere else and listened to the others chat about their day and how fun the cruise was already. Simon wanted to look over at Alvin and apologize for being such a mess, but he was still too embarrassed. He wasn't even that mad anymore, he just felt stupid.
After they were all done eating, Dave reminded them that they had agreed to go to bed early so they could spend all day tomorrow having fun. They grumbled a little, but ended up agreeing that it was for the best. Dave let them in the room when they got downstairs, and everyone said goodnight before heading off to their own room. Simon went in to their room, used the bathroom quickly (which is difficult seeing as everything is way too big), and immediately got into bed. He took off his glasses and laid them on the dresser and wrapped the covers around him. He saw that Theodore was watching t.v. and saw Alvin standing at the door, not knowing what to do. Simon felt really bad, but when they made eye contact, Simon turned over and looked the other way.
Simon heard Alvin sigh, and heard him go into the bathroom. He hoped Alvin would climb into bed so he could apologize to him, but when Alvin came out, he turned off the lights and went over to the couch with Theodore to watch t.v., and maybe even sleep there. Simon started to tear up again for like the tenth time that day. "So much for a great night." he thought. All he wanted to do was hold Alvin and cuddle, but Simon knew he ruined that for himself. He turned over and closed his eyes, but he wasn't going to be able to sleep knowing that he was fighting with the one person he cared about the most.
About twenty minutes had passed and Simon felt someone get into bed behind him and slip under the covers. "It's probably Theodore." he thought sadly. He knew Alvin would want to sleep on the couch so he could get away from his insane brother that kept crying hysterically. "In my defense, I thought he was dead." he thought. "That's kind of a compliment when you cry because someone died." Simon reasoned to himself.
Simon felt Theodore start to pull the covers his way, which was kind of annoying. "Theo, stop it." Simon hissed in the dark. Theodore kept pulling the covers, not listening to a word Simon was saying. "I said stop!" he said angrily, turning towards him. Simon found himself face to face with Alvin, who was just staring at Simon as he pulled the covers his way. "Oh... uh... sorry Alvin. I thought you were Theodore." he said quietly, breaking eye contact.
"Oh, so it's ok if I do it, but Theo can't? That doesn't seem fair." Alvin said with a small smile. Simon didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and still didn't look into Alvin's eyes. Alvin's smile went away and he took a deep breath. "Simon, I'm sorry I..." he started, but Simon cut him off. "Don't apologize, Alvin. I already feel bad enough." he said, still looking at Alvin's chest. Alvin reached out a finger under Simon's chin and brought his eyes up to meet his. "I want to apologize, Si." he said softly.
Simon didn't know what it was about that moment. Maybe it was Alvin's sweet aroma that Simon loved so much. Maybe it was his beautiful eyes that turned Simon to mush. Maybe it was Alvin using the nickname Simon adored. Maybe it was hearing how sincere Alvin was while he tried to apologize. Or maybe it was all those things put together. The next thing he knew, he had leaned forward and kissed Alvin on the lips. Electricity went through Simon's body as he finally kissed the one person that he loved more than anything.
Alvin was shocked, and so was Simon. Simon couldn't believe he had actually done it. Alvin had never looked more confused. He was just staring at Simon with wide eyes. "You just... uh... kissed me." he said to Simon. Simon just nodded. "And you meant to." he said, not really asking. Simon nodded anyway. Alvin seemed a little more shocked than Simon would have liked, but he hadn't run out of the room screaming... yet. So far so good. "Alvin, I..." Simon started to say, but Alvin cut him off. "Don't say anything, Simon. I need to think for a minute." he said, still not blinking.
Simon just laid there and watched Alvin breathe deeply. He could see a million different thoughts racing through Alvin's mind as he tried to process this unexpected turn of events. It was a good five minutes before he began to blink again. He started off slow. "You kissed me." he said again. Simon nodded. "You wanted to kiss me." he said. Simon nodded. "You, Simon, wanted to kiss me, Alvin, even though I am a boy... and your brother." he said slowly, picking each word carefully. Simon nodded again. "Uh... Why?" Alvin asked, looking incredibly confused.
Simon thought about it for a minute, trying to come up with the best possible answer. "Because... I love you." he stated simply. Alvin still looked confused. "Well I love you too, but what does that have to do with anything?" he asked. Simon tried to rethink his answer to make it more clear. "I don't just love you Alvin... I'm in love with you." he said, hoping he was being more clear. Alvin still looked confused, and then realization washed over him. His confusion was replaced by a look of curiosity. "But I'm a boy." he said again, not being able to express his thoughts in a more clear way. Simon nodded and gave a tiny smile. "I'm aware, Alvin." he said. "And I'm your brother." he said, as though he were just breaking the news to Simon. Simon just smiled again. "I think I know that, too."
Simon was relieved that the look Alvin had was more curiosity and confusion, rather than anger and disgust. "How long..." Alvin cut himself off. "Have I known how I feel?" Simon finished for him. Alvin nodded. "Not very long at all..." Simon answered truthfully. "It just sort of hit me." Simon said, looking over to make sure Theodore wasn't getting up. "Oh, he's asleep." Alvin said, apparently reading Simon's mind. Simon looked back as Alvin thought of more questions.
"So is this why you've been so... uh... different?" Alvin asked hesitantly. Simon looked down for a second before answering. "Yeah, I didn't really know what was going on with me." he said, looking up into Alvin's eyes again. "But I figured it out fast." Alvin nodded and thought of another question. "So you think I'm... uh... You think that I'm..." he struggled,to think of a good word. "Cute?" Simon asked. Alvin blushed a little and nodded. "Yeah... I do." Simon said, smiling and blushing a little too. Alvin smiled a little for the first time, which was the best thing Simon could have hoped for.
"Have you always been interested in boys?" Alvin asked. Simon shook his head. "Do you like anyone else?" he asked. Simon shook his head again. Simon noticed that Alvin almost looked relieved at the news that he wasn't interested in other boys. "So I kind of turned you... you know... gay?" he asked quietly. Simon thought about it for a minute and then shrugged. "I don't know... I guess you did." he answered. Alvin smirked a little. "I'm more of a stud than I thought." he said to himself. Simon couldn't help but smile... and agree.
Simon watched Alvin lay there thinking of what to say next. "To be honest, I kind of thought that something like this might happen. Not necessarily with me, just in general." Alvin said. "Really?" Simon asked, surprised. "Yeah... I could tell you weren't into Jeanette, and since you both are like the same person, I figured you must have a different... taste." Alvin said, looking like he might laugh. But he didn't, which Simon really appreciated. "Thanks for not making fun of me, Alvin." Simon said. Alvin nodded a little. "And sorry I kissed you." Simon said quietly.
Alvin cocked his head to the side, and stared at Simon. "To be honest, I really didn't mind." he said. Simon looked at him questioningly. "I mean, I don't know how I feel about this, but the kiss wasn't that bad, actually." he clarified. "It was my first..." Simon muttered. "Huh?" Alvin said leaning closer. "I said it was my first kiss." Simon said a little louder, blushing. Now Alvin did laugh. He was quiet, but he laughed pretty hard. Simon glared at him until he stopped. "Oh... Sorry." he said, trying to look serious.
Simon sighed. "I've never liked anyone enough to actually try it." he said shyly. "Until tonight." he added as an afterthought. Alvin giggled a little, but stopped when Simon glared again. "Who have you kissed?" Simon demanded. "Pfft... Brittany. Duh." he said like Simon was crazy. "How was it?" Simon asked. "Pretty good I guess. I mean she kept doing this thing where..." Simon held up a hand. "I meant, uh, ours." he said impatiently. "Oh well, like I said it wasn't bad. To be honest I was a little too shocked to notice how the kiss was." Alvin said with an eyebrow raised.
Simon stared into his eyes and leaned forward a little. "Uh, what are you doing?" Alvin asked. Simon leaned in a little closer. "Ok, I told you I didn't know how I felt about everything." Alvin said warningly. Simon leaned in closer still. "Simon, I need some time to think about this!" he said, panicking. Simon didn't care anymore. He knew what he wanted. He also noticed that despite Alvin's objections, he wasn't scooting away. Simon took it as a good sign.
He leaned in closer as Alvin kept stuttering his excuses, and finally he was about an inch away from Alvin's lips. "Simon, I..." he stopped. He was out of ammo. Simon finally felt his lips cover Alvin's as they laid there together in bed. Simon felt the surge of electricity again as he slowly hugged Alvin to him. Simon had no idea what he was doing, but he knew enough to give what he thought was a pretty good open mouth kiss. Alvin was still just lying there, not contributing to the kiss very much. Simon broke away and leaned back a little, waiting for a reaction from Alvin.
He could tell Alvin still had a million thoughts buzzing through his head. "Was I any good?" Simon asked nervously. Alvin just nodded a little. "Do you want me to stop?" he asked. Alvin just stared at him, looking like he didn't know how to answer. Simon felt a little disappointed. "I understand, Alvin. I shouldn't have done that. I didn't mean to make you uncomfo..." Simon was interrupted when Alvin leaned forward, wrapping his arm around Simon's head and pulling him into a deep kiss.
It was Simon's eyes that widened in shock this time, but he slowly closed them as a little moan of satisfaction escaped his now occupied lips. Alvin moved his lips up and down, taking control of Simon in every way. Alvin leaned back and licked his lips. "Now, was I any good?" Alvin asked, grinning. Simon nodded quickly and grabbed him and pulled him back in for some more. Alvin snickered a little and pressed his mouth against Simon's again. They kissed passionately for another minute or two, although to Simon it felt like it lasted a lifetime. He was in his own personal heaven.
Alvin broke the kiss again and leaned back, panting. Simon tried to kiss him again but he held him back. "Hang on a minute, I need to settle down a little first." he breathed heavily. "I haven't done this in a while and my jaw kinda hurts." Simon laid back on his side and pouted a little. He was glad that Alvin was open to everything so far, but he wanted more. He looked over and smiled at him. "What?" Alvin asked, looking over. "You're just so... perfect." Simon said, looking away, and he really was perfect. Everything about him made Simon's heart ache, in a good way.
Simon was a little intimidated by how cute Alvin was. He definitely wasn't smiling anymore. "Oh come on, what?" Alvin said, noticing Simon's mood change. "It's just... you really are so perfect. You're way too good for me." Simon said sadly. "Not that I'm suggesting that we're together!" he added quickly, not wanting to scare Alvin off. Alvin smiled and turned to stare at Simon. "I'm going to tell you something that you can never tell anyone." Alvin said quietly. Simon turned over too and nodded.
"Ok, well I've actually had thoughts about me and you, uh, being more than just brothers." he stopped to see if Simon would interrupt, but Simon just stared at him intently, hanging on his every word. "It actually wasn't too long ago that I had this dream. It started out with me and Brittany, but we got in some sort of fight, which was close to how things were going in the real world, but anyway... I was sitting on the edge of my bed, crying, and you came in and asked what was wrong. I was embarrassed that you saw me crying, but you just hugged me and told me everything would be ok. At that moment, I realized that you were the one person in my life that didn't ever stop helping me. No matter what happens, you're always there to pick up the pieces. In the dream, I kissed you on the cheek for some reason and the next thing I knew, we were rolling around under the covers, uh, you know, making out." he blushed at that part. Simon nodded and
smiled a little.
"When I woke up, I was freaking out because I thought it had really happened. But I saw you sleeping over in your bed, so I relaxed a little. But as I thought about what had happened in the dream, I felt a little sad that it hadn't actually happened. It felt so real, and to be honest, it felt... right. You really have always been there for me, and that's what I have always looked for in a relationship. For the next day or two, I imagined you and I being together, but could never bring myself to act on it. Plus I thought something was wrong with me, so I eventually forgot about the dream until about 10 minutes ago when you first kissed me." Alvin smiled at that part, and Simon smiled too. Alvin leaned in and kissed Simon's nose, sending shivers down his spine.
"Oh, and this definitely stays between us, but I've always thought you had a cute nose and I think you look really cute in your glasses and uh..." Alvin trailed off. Simon nodded for him to continue. "I've kinda noticed your, uh, butt is cute?" he said almost as a question, seeing how Simon would react. Simon grinned his biggest smile yet. "I thought the same thing running down the hall. You know, when I got 'distracted' and ran into you." Simon said laughing a little. Alvin laughed too. "I knew it!" he said. "Sure you did..." Simon said, rolling his eyes.
Alvin looked over at Simon and smiled. "So what about me?" he asked. "What about you?" Simon replied. "I mean, what do you like about me?" Alvin clarified, blushing some more. Simon didn't even have to think. "Everything." he said simply. He could tell Alvin wanted specifics, so he went on. "I love staring into your brown eyes. I love how your hair is always perfectly messy. I love listening to you breathe when you sleep. I love that you stick up for me when I need you too. I love the way you apologize when we fight, even though it's usually just me overreacting. I love your smile, and the way you laugh. I love your lips, which I didn't know 'til tonight. I love..." he trailed off. "You." he said in his head, but he didn't want to pressure Alvin. Alvin looked astonished. "Those were the nicest things anyone has ever said to me." he whispered. Simon just shrugged. "They're true." he said with a smile.
Alvin looked a little teary eyed, but then he smiled widely. "Don't forget my butt." he said laughing. "How could I?" Simon said, winking. Simon leaned in for another kiss but Alvin held him back again."Before we do anything else, I just want to ask you something." he said. Simon nodded, feeling a little nervous. "Ok, um, where do you want all this to go? Like is this a one time thing or...?" Alvin left his question open to give Simon options, which made Simon more nervous. He didn't know how to answer, because he didn't know what Alvin wanted. "I meant what I said, Alvin. I really love everything about you." Simon said nervously. "But I understand that this is all really new, so I'm going to leave it up to you." he finished. Alvin nodded and looked relieved that Simon wasn't putting a lot of pressure on him. Simon was relieved, too, that he had apparently said the right thing.
Simon leaned forward again to kiss Alvin, and this time he didn't hold him back...
