Chapter Five and its rather long (By my standards anyway) Enjoy!

Alvin sat with his back to the wall in the hallway, just outside the room he and his brothers shared.

He let out a sigh, I wish Simon would tell me what he's thinking. He just went into our room and closed the door. He didn't look mad, but with Simon I never know.

Simon sat on his bed and tugged at the bottom of the blue shirt he was wearing. Did that happen? Simon laid back on his bed and looked off without focus.

Simon sat up, Just sitting here isn't going to get me any answers. Simon stood up and walked over to the door and opened it.

Alvin's heat skipped a beat at the sound of the door opening. He looked at the doorway and saw Simon standing there, scanning the hallway with his eyes, "Alvin are you out here?"

Alvin stood up, "Ya, I'm here."

Simon stepped out into the hallway, "Alvin, we need to talk."

Alvin took a cautious steep toward Simon, "I agree."

Simon walked back into the room and sat on his bed. Alvin did the same.

The brothers sat in silence, nether one sure about what to say.

Alvin took a deep breath, "Simon..."

Simon turned to his brother.

Alvin rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "Simon... are you mad?"

Simon took a moment to think before answering, "No, just confused."

Alvin nodded his head, "Me too."

Simon tugged at his shirt again, "Why did you kiss me?"

Alvin's breath caught at the question, "Because,,," Alvin took a breath, "It felt right."

Simon pulled his legs onto his bed and sat cross legged, facing Alvin, "So... what do we do now?"

Alvin mimicked his brother's position and looked into his gray eyes, "Well... if you want to just pretend it never happened, I understand."

Simon put his hands in his lap and looked at the red blob on his bed, "What if... What if I don't want to"

A smile pulled at the edges of Alvin's lips, "What do you mean?"

Simon scooted closer to Alvin, "What I mean is..." Simon put his hand on Alvin's shoulder, "I mean..." Simon moved his face to Alvin's and kissed him.

Alvin's eyes were wide as saucers with surprise. After the initial shock wore off Alvin returned the kiss.

Simon broke away after a few seconds, "Alvin, what about Brittany and the others?"

Alvin was brought back down to reality by Simon's question, "What do you mean?"

Simon looked at were he guessed Alvin's eyes were, "What if they find out?"

Alvin smiled at Simon, "Simon, we went on an adventure around the world without Dave knowing."

Simon sighed, "Alvin, he caught us remember?"

Alvin shrugged, "Details. Bedsides what's wrong with what we're doing?"

Simon ran his fingers through the fur on his head, "We're brothers, Alvin."

Alvin put his hand on Simon's shoulder, "We're also chipmunks, remember? And besides you can't control who you fall in love with."

Simon's heart skipped a beat, "Did you just say love?"

Alvin was about to try and back peddle but decided against it, "Yes I did."

Simon shook his head, "This is all happening so fast."

Alvin pulled Simon into a hug, "Well we have a week before we have to worry about anything, so lets just enjoy it. That is, if you want to."

Simon wrapped his arms around Alvin, "I do."

Alvin looked over at the clock, it read 10:30, Wow this talk lasted a lot longer then it felt like.

Alvin put his head on top of Simon's, "Lets get some sleep."

Simon nodded, "Sounds good."

Alvin kicked off his shoes and he and Simon laid down on Simon's bed.

The two got under the covers and Simon cuddled up to Alvin.

Alvin and Simon were cuddled up on the couch watching a movie when the doorbell rang.

Alvin let out a sigh and pulled away from Simon. He stood up and walked to the door and looked through the peephole. Alvin stepped back from the door with a shocked look on his face.

Brittany stood on the steps of the Seville household and waited patiently. What is she doing here?

Simon began to wonder why Alvin had not answered the door yet, "Who is it, Alvin?"

Alvin took a breath and opened the door and smiled at Brittany, "Hey Britt, I thought you went with the others?"

Brittany smiled and shook her head, "Nope, when I heard that you were staying I decided to stay too. I just told Miss Miller that I was feeling kinda sick."

Simon's breath caught when he heard Brittany's voice.

Brittany hugged Alvin, "Can I come in?"

Alvin tried to think fast and come up with a reason to say no, "Um... Sorry Brittany, Dave told us that we couldn't have anyone over." Alvin hoped that she would bye it.

Brittany raised her eye brow, "And when have Dave's rules ever stopped you before?"

Alvin tried to think harder, "Well..." Think man think! "Well I'm kind of on probation right now for breaking Simon's glasses." Alvin silently let out a breath, thinking he was in the clear.

Brittany pulled away from Alvin, "Oh that makes sense, I guess. What did Dave say about you going anywhere?"

Crap! Alvin was running out of ideas, "Well he didn't explicitly say no..."

Brittany smiled, "Good, then come over to my house for a little while."

Alvin hesitated to answer and Brittany frowned, "Alvin? Do you want to come over or not?"

Alvin took a deep breath, "Brittany, give me a sec to get some shoes on and then lets go for a walk."

The smile returned to Brittany's face, "Alright."

Alvin closed the door and ran upstairs and pulled on his sneakers. He came back down the stairs and walked over to Simon, "I'll be back soon, Will you be okay?"

Simon nodded.

Alvin looked at the door to make sure it was closed and gave Simon a kiss on the cheek.

Simon lightly blushed.

Alvin walked over to the door and opened it, he turned to Simon, "Call me if you need anything alright?"

Simon nodded, "Will do."

Even with his vision obscured Simon could tell it had gotten dark, Where is he?

Simon reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He was just about to dial Alvin's number when he heard the front door open and close.

Simon turned towards the noise, "Alvin? Is that you?"

"Ya", Alvin's voice sounded sad.

Simon wondered what caused Alvin to sound so down, "Whats wrong?"

Alvin kicked his shoes off and put them next to the door and walked over to the couch and sat next to Simon, "Brittany and I had a talk..."

Simon was getting worried by Alvin's tone, "About what?"

Alvin leaned his head on Simon's shoulder, "Everything."

Simon wrapped an arm around Alvin's shoulder, "What do you mean? Tell me?"

Alvin took a deep breath, "let me start from the beginning."

Alvin and Brittany walked hand in hand towards the park that was down the street from their houses. Neither of them had said a word since they started walking.

When they reached the park Alvin steered them towards the swing set. Alvin sat on one of the swings and motioned for Brittany to do the same.

Brittany sat and looked at Alvin with a smile, "We haven't been here since the day you asked me out."

Alvin looked at the ground and didn't speak.

Brittany began to grow concerned, "Alvin? Is everything alright?"

Alvin took in a breath and mentally prepared for what he was about to say, "Brittany, we need to talk..."

Brittany tensed up, "About?"

Alvin still wouldn't look at her, "Us."

Brittany felt her heart jump into her throat, "What about us?"

Alvin took a shaky breath, "I think we should... I think we should see other people."

Brittany felt her heart brake into pieces. Tears began to run down her cheeks, "Why?"

"I...", Alvin tried to think how best to word what he wanted to say next.

Alvin looked at Brittany, "I'm in love with someone else."

Brittany looked into Alvin's eyes, "Who?"

Alvin's breath caught, "Brittany, are we still friends?"

Alvin's question caught Brittany off guard, "What?"

Alvin looked at the sky as the sun began to set, "We were best friends before we got together, are we still best friends?"

Brittany wiped the tears from her eyes and thought about Alvin's question, "Alvin, no matter what happens we will always be best friends."

Alvin looked into Brittany's eyes again, "And we can tell each other anything right?"

Tears still fell from Brittany's eyes, "Yes, Alvin."

Alvin swallowed the lump in his throat, "I know its selfish to ask you this right after I brake up with you, but... Will you keep a secret for me?"

Brittany wiped her eyes and sniffled, "Alvin... I love you and I would never do anything to hurt you. So yes I will."

Alvin took a deep breath, "Simon..."

Brittany got a confused look on her face, "Simon?"

Alvin looked back at the sky, "You asked me who..."

Brittany was taken aback by what Alvin said, "As in, your brother?"

Alvin nodded.

Brittany's mind raced with questions, it was hard for her to pick her first one, "How long?"

Alvin took off his cap and ran his hand through the fur on his head, "How long have I known?"

Brittany nodded.

Alvin sighed, "I don't know. I started to feel something a few days after I broke his glasses but I didn't know what it was until last night."

Brittany had stopped crying, "Does he know?"

Alvin nodded.

Brittany tried to word her next question carefully, "Are you two... together?"

Alvin nodded again, "Do you think we're freaks?"

Brittany was taken back by Alvin's question. She put her hand on his shoulder, "No. I do think its odd and I am still hurting about losing you, but I don't think either of you are freaks."

Alvin felt relief wash over him as the cool night air set it, "Brittany, Thank you. And I'm sorry."

Brittany hugged Alvin, "Don't worry I'll be okay and I wont tell anyone."

Alvin hugged Brittany back, "You're the best friend a guy could ask for."

Brittany smiled, "Hey on the bright side, I've been wanting a gay best friend."

Alvin pulled away and looked her in the eyes, "I'm not gay... Simon is the only guy I look at like that."

Brittany giggled and playfully hit Alvin's arm, "I'm only teasing."

Simon rubbed Alvin's back, "She took it pretty well, why are you sad?"

Alvin shrugged, "I just feel bad for hurting her... She's like a sister to me. And also I don't know if the others will be so accepting."

Simon pulled Alvin into a hug and rested his chin on top of his head, "Don't worry, we'll face it together."

Brittany took that well. She's such a good friend.
