Alvin woke up slowly. He blinked and turned onto his side. Wonder what time it is…He thought as he stretched. He glanced at the clock. 12:39 a.m. What's with me waking up so early? He wondered as he sat up. He stifled a yawn as he looked over his brothers sleeping forms. His eyes settled on Simon. Oh yeah, it was just last night that I almost acted on my feelings towards Simon, wasn't it? He smiled and looked out the window. He climbed out of his bed and went over to the window, opening it. A cool breeze instantly hit him and he closed his eyes, leaning into it.

Simon's eyes opened part way when he felt the breeze. He turned silently onto his other side, barely making out Alvin's form in the window. He's up early again, I wonder what woke him...He put on his glasses and watched his brother. Alvin's action from last night really confused him. He hadn't brought it up throughout the day, it just seemed so surreal. He watched him for a moment, then sat up slowly. He looked over at Theodore's bed, he slept soundly. He looked back at Alvin, he was looking at him now. "A-Alvin..." He stammered out of nowhere, in a soft whisper.

Alvin smiled, "Hi Simon. What are you doing up?" Simon shrugged as he looked out the window.

"The breeze woke me, why are you up?" Simon asked, and after staring at the moon, he looked at Alvin. His eyes were darkened because the moon didn't hit his face.

"I'm not sure...I just woke up, you know?" Alvin asked as he turned back, looking at the moon again. Simon wasn't sure if he wanted to bring up what had happened last night. "Something on your mind, Si?" Alvin asked as though he read his mind. Simon soon stood next to him, looking at the sky.

"Not really. Just thinking about last night...it was kind of..." His voice trailed off as he met Alvin's eyes. They sparkled under the moonlight, the fluttering in Simon's stomach caught him off guard.

"Weird?" Alvin asked him, getting the same feeling in his stomach as he stared into Simon's intense, yet soft gray eyes. Simon shook his head slowly.

"No..." He said softly as he got lost in Alvin's eyes. "Just...surreal..." His voice was barely a whisper. Alvin smiled and broke the intense eye contact to look back into the sky.

"Yeah, it was, wasn't it?" He let another breeze caress his face. Simon watched his brother, wondering why he had these sudden feelings. He had a feeling, that they weren't one-sided.

"So, I guess I'll go back to bed, I'm getting tired again." Simon said and stretched. Alvin looked over at him and nodded.

"Wait," He suddenly said just as Simon turned to go to his bed. Simon looked back at him. Alvin scanned the room to be sure no one was stirring inside or outside their room. He locked their eyes together. He took the one step that was a gap between them. Simon's eyes searched Alvin's as a hint of confusion flashed through his mind. Alvin stood on his toes and he lightly, very lightly placed a kiss on Simon's lips. It was feather light, but Simon felt it.

Simon blinked as Alvin stood flat on his feet again, waiting to see how Simon would react. There was a hint of unease in Alvin's blue eyes now. Simon slowly smiled and he gave Alvin a peck as well, having to lean down, because Alvin was shorter. Alvin helped by tilting his head up to meet Simon's lips. Hearts pounding, they smiled shyly at one another, then climbed into their beds. They faced eachother and closed their eyes.

"Goodnight, Simon." Alvin whispered as he lightly traced his lips. He pulled his blanket up to his chin.

"Goodnight, Alvin." Simon replied in a soft whisper as well.
