Simon was the first person Alvin saw coming his way. He sighed, rolling his eyes away from his approaching brother. Doing that made his blue eyes settle on someone else. Aw, crap! His cheeks lit up like a fire. He looked towards Simon again. This was not good! Panic replaced Alvin's previous emotions and he stood instantly and hurried towards Simon.
"Alvin-" Alvin grabbed Simon's arm and dragged him away, not looking back. "What are you doing now?" Alvin didn't reply.
God, what is he doing here!? This is the last thing I need! Alvin stopped walking once they got to their front porch.
"What was that about?" Simon asked. "It's like you saw something that scared the life out of you." Alvin mentally agreed to that statement. When Simon got no response, he decided to let it slide, for now. "Why did you leave out of nowhere?"
"I needed to think..." Alvin said, sounded distant.
"Alvin!" Simon called, making Alvin jump and his eyes focus on his brother. "What is going on with you?" He demanded, upset that he won't talk to him.
"Nothing for you to worry about." Alvin stated, scanning the area behind Simon. He thought it best to go inside and did just that, Simon at his heels.
"Alvin!" Simon stopped him from ascending the stairs and made him look at him. "How many times do I have to remind you, what hurts you, hurts me? What makes you sad, makes me sad. How many times do I have to remind you of that until you remember it on your own?" He demanded. Alvin sighed, averting his gaze away from Simon.
"I don't know, Simon. I have a lot on my mind right now. Can we please not do this right now?" He asked gently.
"Fine, but we're going to talk about you and your attitude soon. Alright?" Simon said. Alvin didn't acknowledge Simon's last statement as he went upstairs and into his room. Another thing that Simon realized was Alvin's desire for him. He had a lot of desire radiating off him, but it seems like he himself was unaware of it.
What is going on with you, Alvin? Simon wondered, each detail he's noticing making him worry that much more.

Alvin paced in his bedroom. He's here! He's here! He's here! He's here!!! Crap! Dammit! Shit! Ugh! Alvin chorused mentally [A.N: I like the rhythm his thought had. Anyone else hear it? ^_~] as he dropped himself onto his bed. He had never been more grateful of his only problem being inside his head, until that problem became a physical one. What in the world was he going to do!? So much for dealing with his guilt! Now he has the actual person here, in his neighborhood! Probably going to his school!
Alvin cursed into his pillow until his frustrated, confused, guilty tears finally escaped him.

Ricky made his way back home in confusion. Why did Alvin run off when he saw him? That boy he was with must be his brother. Despite his confusion, Ricky smiled. He had seen him! He must live close if he was at the park. Five more days. Five more days.
He was definitely looking forward to it.

Simon was getting beyond irritated with his distant brother. It was like he was never there anymore. He wouldn't even meet his eyes now. Ever since the park incident on Wednesday, it was now Friday, Alvin seemed consumed with his thoughts. He barely talked now, it was a shock he managed eating three times a day!
Now, Simon's normally long patience was shortening, and fast.
He studied his brother, wishing he could climb into his head and find out what was wrong with him. He thought they had the kind of relationship where no matter what the problem was, they could talk to each other. Sighing, Simon resumed his work. Clearly, he thought wrong.
I haven't seen him here yet,Alvin thought, writing his essay subconsciously. Maybe he isn't coming here after all...Alvin sighed, the thought sounded too good to be true. Maybe Jason's party will be a good idea after all.
"Alvin, can you please join me in the real world.." he heard Simon say in a slightly defeated tone. Alvin looked at him.
"I'm sorry, Si. I don't mean to be so thoughtful." It was Alvin's first actual response in two days. Simon met his eyes, tempted to ask him what was wrong, but knew it wouldn't do him any good.
"It's alright, Al." Simon responded. You know you can talk to me, right? Was what he wanted to say as well, but he bit his tongue to stop the words. The last thing he wanted to do was pressure Alvin back into silence. "Are you...um, almost done with your essay?" He asked, trying to keep Alvin giving him verbal responses.
"Yeah, I'm on the conclusion right now." Alvin answered, sounded distant like always. Aside from his mixed up thoughts and emotions, Alvin's mind was also debating frequently back and forth between telling, and not telling Simon of his...issue. He came up with reasons as to why, and common sense knocked him back into the reality of the situation: are you out of your mind?!
"Alvin?" Simon said gently, making Alvin flinch slightly, indicating he had been deep in thought. Blue eyes met gray once more. Simon was tempted to ask once more, the look of pure loss in Alvin's eyes broke Simon's heart. Is it that bad of a situation? Simon wondered helplessly.
Alvin managed to see Simon's look of utter helplessness flash through his face the moment their eyes connected. "Si, please stop worrying. I'm just dealing with some issues."
Simon was surprised Alvin brought it up this time. "Alvin, why won't you tell me what it is? Please, talk to me." His voice was drowned with desperation.
Alvin shook his head gently. "I can't." Was all he said and then resumed his assignment. Simon sighed sadly, doing his as well.

Two more days. Ricky reminded himself as he got his school supplies stored in his backpack. He was really looking forward to it. He set his backpack onto his bed and looked at his calendar. Oh, that's right! He thought with a bright smile. I'll get to see him tonight, during the party! Thanks so much, Brittany!
Ok, I noticed that most of Alvin and Simon's conversations happen during class. It makes sense since Alvin uses his time at home to think, where there are no interruptions. As the story moves on, they'll be talking more in different areas. But, only once the drama settles in more. Oh! And I am not promising, I am Swearing! There will be a sex scene in this story! I swear! Ok now please review!!!
