Brittany sat down and leaned her back against the tree and closed her eyes. The night air was cool, but it felt good on her skin after being inside. Tonight had been the final concert of the latest tour of the Chipmunks and the Chipettes. Ian, as was tradition, was throwing a huge party in celebration.
"Mind if I join you?" a voice asked. She opened her eyes to see Alvin standing there in front of her. She smiled and patted the ground next to her. Growing up, they had been so competitive towards each other, but ever since the Chipmunks and Chipettes starting going on tours together, they had slowly developed a deep sense of respect and admiration for each other. They were partners and friends. This last tour, Brittany had even thought that something more might have been developing between them, but she knew better than to get her hopes up. He was still Alvin Seville, after all.
"Good job, tonight." Alvin said, "And thanks for adjusting that jacket at the last minute."
"Thank you, and you're welcome." She said, blushing slightly at the compliment. Alvin had been doing that a lot lately; making her blush. Their eyes met and she could sense that Alvin was trying to say something more than a few comments about the show. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm just looking," he said with a slight shake of his head.
"Take a photo, then," she said, narrowing her eyes. "You're creeping me out."
"Sorry, but photos never do you justice. They never capture how beautiful you really are, Britt."
Brittany felt a soft touch on her hand. Glancing down she saw that Alvin had put his hand on hers. The sensation sent a shiver of warmth straight to her heart.
"Britt...I've...I've been wanting to tell you..." He started to say. Brittany suddenly had a hard time remembering to breathe. His face was so close to hers. The world around her seemed to melt away and was replaced with the golden hue of Alvin's eyes. He leaned in closer and his lips found hers.
His gentle kiss told her more than words ever could. She leaned into the kiss, not able to get enough. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her into his strong arms. Brittany lost herself in his kiss, never wanting it to end, but then Alvin pulled back.
"I love you, Brittany," he whispered to her. "I've been wanting to tell you that I love you."
"I love you too, Alvin," she whispered back, meaning it with every fiber of her body. She had known for some time that she had felt this way, but she never imagined that Alvin would return those feelings. His lips found hers again and every doubt she had ever had about the chipmunk vanished, replaced with the reassurance of his kiss.
