The Smile Heard Around the World (ImmortalFox)

Aleks was continuing to rage at how he couldn't simply catch a stupid Miltank or a Rhyhorn, and Sly was actually doing something Minecraft related. They soon got bored of the conversation and Sly rambled about how he's so smart, thanking his mom and dad.

"Thank you Mom, for these amazing brain cells. I guess Dad too, 'cause I was swimming in his ballsack."

"What?" Aleks asked awkwardly.

"I said I was swimming in my Dad's ballsack." 

"I was actually artificially made. No ballsack swimming for me-"

"That's why you're so handsome." 

Aleks immediately responded with a slight giggle and "Yeah dude, thank you for noticing!"

Sly started giggling as well. "I legitly heard you smile! You're such a little bitch!"

Aleks' face turned blood red from that. The thing is, ever since he moved in with Sly, he actually fell in love with him. I mean, who wouldn't? His laugh, his accent, everything, who wouldn't want Sly? Aleks just never told him because he didn't think Sly felt the same way. He was teased, thinking Sly thought of him in that special way, but his hopes where suppressed. 

After the session, they sat down on the couch and watched a movie and ate microwaveable dinners. Aleks got up after eating his food, halfway through the movie and started to walk towards his room.

"Hey, where the hell do you think you're going? This is a good movie, dude!" Sly said with noodles in his mouth.

Aleks didn't respond and started to open his door, when Sly got off the couch and stopped him.

"Dude, what's wrong? Why are you going back in your room?" Sly asked softly.

"I don't want to talk about it." Aleks avoided the question, but felt Sly's hand on his arm.

"Come on, you can tell me anything." 

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

Aleks sighed sharply, "I didn't want to tell you this." He hesitated. "Ever since I moved in with you, I grew more attached to you. Attracted, really. I never said anything about it because it didn't seem like you liked me back. I didn't want a big speed bump in our friendship. The whole 'I heard you smile' thing is what really made me believe it."

Sly had no reaction, only looking at the ground silently, taking his hand off of Aleks.

"I guess I'll just stop thinking of you like that then." Aleks continued sadly, and went to step in his room when Sly stopped again him with "Wait."

"I actually like you back, Aleks. I never thought you liked me either, so I just made it sound like we were like, bros, or something. I do think you're handsome. It just slipped out when we were recording so I had to play it off. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings."

Aleks just stared into his eyes and smiled. He was pulled into a long, warm hug.

"I heard it again, Aleks."
