Chapter eight. This one is shorter then the last one but there is more fluff in it so I think that will make up for it. Enjoy!

Alvin's entire body was sore as he laid awake in his bed. He looked around his new room and let out a sigh of relief.

He and his brothers had spent the entire weekend moving Simon and he into their own rooms. Alvin's mind drifted back to when Dave had told them his new rules.

Alvin and Simon sat in their chairs waiting for Dave to explain the rules to them.

Dave leaned back against his chair, "Alright the first thing is, you two will be spending this weekend moving into your own rooms. It was time anyway. That also means that you will be moving all of the things that are in those rooms into the attic and basement."

Alvin grimaced at the thought of all the heavy lifting.

Dave went on, "The second part is, neither of you will be aloud in each others rooms with the door closed. Same as if Theodore were to bring a girl home."

Simon nodded and Alvin let out a groan.

Dave continued again, "As for the rest its the same set of rules I gave you Alvin when you started dating Brittany. Just to refresh your memory. No making out on the couch, no 'petting' and well...", Dave hesitated.

Alvin smiled as Dave looked uncomfortable. He had done the same thing when he was briefing him about Brittany, "No sex. That's what you're trying to say, right Dave?"

Dave nodded, "Other then that just be aware of who's around you. Now you two should probably go get started on moving. Theodore might help you if you ask nicely."

I still owe Theo for helping..., Alvin tensed as he rolled over and tried to get comfortable.

Alvin closed his eyes and tried to go to sleep, School should be fun tomorrow...

Alvin's mind was filled with images of Simon as he fell asleep.

Alvin and Simon got many looks and few double takes as they walked to lunch, hand in hand.

They met with the rest of the group in the lunch room and sat down.

Eleanor smiled at Alvin, "So how did your spring brake go at home?"

Alvin smiled, "I broke up with Brittany and confessed my love to Simon...", Alvin took a bite out of his apple as Eleanor laughed.

When no one else at the table laughed Elanor looked at Brittany and raised an eyebrow.

Brittany nodded at her.

Eleanor looked at Alvin, "You're serious? I thought the whole holding hands thing was just to lead him around."

Alvin nodded and lifted he and Simon's intertwined hands from under the table.

Eleanor just stared for a few seconds before saying anything. Finally she shrugged, "Huh, would you look at that... Not something you see everyday." Eleanor slowly ate her lunch as she processed what she had just been told.

Jeanette poked at her salad idly. She stood up and picked up her tray, "Excuse me." She walked out of the lunch room barely stopping to throw her tray away.

Alvin raised an eyebrow as she walked out, "What was that about?"

Brittany slapped her forehead, "How could I be so stupid?"

Simon had a concerned look on his face, "What?"

Brittany let out a sigh, "Well she didn't want me to tell you but I guess I should now. Simon, Jeanette has had a crush on you for like a year now."

Simon frowned, "I should go talk to her..."

Brittany took a sip off of her water and looked at Simon, "She's not mad, she's just hurt."

Simon nodded, "I should still go talk to her..."

Alvin stood up, "I'll take you."

Simon shook his head, "No Alvin, I think it would be better if Brittany did."

Alvin ran his fingers though the fur on his head, "I guess you're right."

Simon looked to Brittany, "Will you?"

Brittany nodded and stood up. She took Simon's hand and he stood up. They both slowly made their way out of the lunch room.

Alvin sat down and continued to eat.

Eleanor put her spoon down and looked at Alvin, "So Alvin, how did you guys... you know, get together?"

Alvin began to explain the events of the past week to her.

Simon sat at the kitchen table of the Seville house hold while Alvin sat next to him and helped him with his homework.

Simon filled in the last answer and put his pencil down, "Done."

Alvin wrapped an arm around Simon's shoulders, "Good."

Alvin looked out of the doorway of the kitchen to make sure neither Theodore or Dave could see them. Once the coast was clear he pulled Simon into a kiss.

Simon pulled away from Alvin, "Alvin, not out here."

Alvin put his hand on Simon's shoulder, "Don't worry Theodore is upstairs and Dave is in his study. And besides, Dave said no making out on the couch. He never said anything about the kitchen..."

Simon was about to say something but instead leaned onto Alvin and resumed kissing him.

Alvin slipped his hand under Simon's shirt and ran it gently up and down Simon's back. Simon squirmed under Alvin's touch.

Alvin pressed his tongue against Simon's lips, asking for entry. Simon opened his lips and let Alvin's tongue into his mouth.

Alvin heard a door open and pulled away from Simon. Simon straightened his shirt and picked his pencil up.

Alvin picked up his own pencil and put it to his paper, "So I carry the one right?"

Simon shook his head to clear his mind and answered Alvin as Dave walked into the kitchen, "Yes."

Alvin scribbled something down on his paper and tucked it in his math book, "Okay so we're all done then?"

Simon nodded and Alvin stood up, "Thanks for the help, Si."

Dave walked over to the fridge, "How does pizza sound for dinner?"

"Sounds great, Dave", Alvin quickly left the room and ran up the stairs to take a shower.

Simon sighed and picked up his paper and book and made his way to his room.

Dave took a sip from the cup of coffee he was holding and smiled. "Too easy...", he said under his breath once Simon had left the room.

Simon laid in his bed awake. He heard his door open and looked but couldn't make out who it was, "Hello?", he asked quietly.

The door closed slowly, "Don't worry Si, its just me", Alvin's voice came from the blackness.

Simon let out a sigh of relief as Alvin climbed into his bed. Simon turned to Alvin, "Alvin, you can't be in here. If Dave finds out..."

Simon was cut off by Alvin's finger on his lips, "He won't. I'll wake up before he does and go back to my room, Don't worry."

Simon was going to protest but decided not to once his brother was under the covers with him.

Alvin slipped his arm under Simon's shoulders and pulled him close, "So how did things go with Jeanette? She seemed to be in a better mood when we were walking home."

Simon laid his head on Alvin's chest, "Well she was crying when we found her."

Alvin nodded, "Go on."

"Brittany left us alone to talk. I told her I was sorry for hurting her feelings." Simon took a breath, "She told me I had nothing to be sorry about, that it was her fault for not making her move sooner."

Alvin gently rubbed Simon's back.

"After that we just talked for the rest of lunch and she was feeling better by the end of it. She is still sad but I think she'll get over it", Simon nuzzled Alvin's chest.

Alvin shook his head, "I don't know about that Si, you're one of a kind."

Simon blushed deeply.

Alvin put his hand under Simon's chin and turned his head to face him, "All I know is I like how things turned out."

Alvin kissed Simon's forehead, "Now lets get some sleep. Dave wakes up early."
