Inspired by Alban's Minecraft stream when Sonny and Uki were together, and Alban got "jealous".

Situation:

Alban was streaming Minecraft that day and Uki and Sonny were also on the game. The two only intended to joke around but little did they know that Alban got affected by it but decided to play along so that the other wouldn't notice.

It didn't last long when other NIJIEN boys noticed that Alban was distancing himself from the two.

I recommend listening to Tate McRae's song, "That Way" to feel more pain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alban ended his stream after talking to his chat for some time. The phantom thief sighed and thought about the things that happened.

He knew Uki and Sonny were just joking around but he was affected by the actions of the two.

He and Sonny are just friends that's why he doesn't feel the need to be jealous or affected by their actions. But Alban's personal feelings are getting to him.

Alban sits on his chair as he scrolls through YouTube to find a video where he can pass his time.

He stops when he sees a clipped video from Yugo's Minecraft stream when Yugo saw the "Private Room" (a.k.a. Uki's/Alban's (?) Private Room) in the VSF building.

Sonny was explaining how different his friendship was with Alban and Uki. Alban smiles when Sonny describes their friendship cutely, but it turned into a frown when Sonny didn't talk about his friendship with Uki.

His expression became unreadable once he scrolled through the comments under the video.

Alban decided to turn his computer off to get some rest. He lied down on his bed and closed his eyes. Suddenly tears started to flow from his eyes.

All he could think of was how he doesn't have a chance to be treated by Sonny like he wants to be. He wants to move on from the unrequited love that he feels for the male.

A knock on the door was heard and Alban immediately wiped the tears away and shouted, "Come in!" As he fixes his composure.

The door opens and Sonny's head peeks through the gap.

"Are you going to sleep now, Alban? Cuddles?" Sonny innocently asked the male. Alban shook his head no and smiled at him.

Sonny was shocked to begin with but decided not to let the other know. He nodded and closed the door behind him.

Sonny went back to his room and played more Minecraft with Luca a bit more.

Sonny always sleeps beside Alban and the two would cuddle every time. So, Sonny was shocked to know that the other declined the cuddles since Alban was the one who sometimes initiates the act.

They do sleep in their own rooms sometimes when they're busy. Sonny thought that maybe Alban was just stressed and needed some alone time since the male just got back to streaming after his break.

Sonny still couldn't help but worry and decided that he would sneak into Alban's room to lay down beside him after accompanying Luca from his stream.

After 2 hours of playing, Sonny decided to turn his computer off to go to sleep.

He went to the room in front of him and quietly opened and closed the door. The male was doing his best to stay quiet, so he wouldn't disturb the sleeping male.

He lifted the covers up and quietly climbed to bed beside Alban and hugged him from behind before closing his eyes.

The next day he wakes up to no one beside him. He checked the time to see that it was already 7 a.m.

The male got out of bed and looked for the other. He went to check his room to see if the male was there but to no avail, there was no one there.

He went downstairs to check if Alban was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. He bumped into Luca who was still trying to recover from his sleep.

He went to the living room to see if the other members were already awake. He was confused because the members were sitting on the ground.

The others looked at him to see the confused look on his face. They pointed towards the couch.

He slowly walked forward to see what they were pointing at. He then saw Alban who was peacefully sleeping on the couch wrapped in a blanket.

The male was a little upset because he felt like the male was intentionally ignoring him.

Sonny walked closer to the sleeping male to wake him up. "Alban, wake up."

Alban stirred in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes. He looked around to see the other EN boys looking at him and Sonny above him.

He got up slowly and walked out of the living room sparing no glance to the male who woke him up.

Ike, who's worried for the 2 of them, spoke up to break the silence. "Did something happen to you two?"

Everyone looked at Ike before looking back at Sonny and waited for an answer. Sonny could only shrug as he sat on the couch.

"You must have done something for him to ignore you." Fulgur added.

"We shouldn't assume too fast. Maybe he's just stressed out. He just got back from his break after all." Sonny replied.

Everyone nodded and set aside their worries. They all began to retreat from their position on the ground and sit beside Sonny who's sitting on the couch.

"Good morning..." A voice from the hallway was heard. Everyone turned their heads to see who it was.

"Good morning Uki!" Sonny said to the man who just woke up. Uki waved at him before retreating to the kitchen to get some food. Sonny followed the psychic and talked to him.

Ike, who was eating, notices how the officer communicates with the other and gets why Alban was avoiding the officer. He decided to go to the kitchen as well to see if his calculations are right.

"Where are you going, Ike?" Vox asked.

"Investigating something in the kitchen." Ike replied sheepishly.

The others looked at each other in confusion before shrugging.

Ike arrives at the kitchen and assesses the situation. Uki and Sonny happily talk to each other as Alban sends glares towards the yellow guy as he prepares his breakfast.

The novelist walks to the phantom thief and pats his shoulders. The male was confused that almost made him spill his coffee. He sent a confused look towards the novelist.

"Let's talk later after your stream later. You should all hurry, your stream will start soon." Ike reminded.

Sonny thanked the novelist for reminding them and said bye to Uki to set up his stream. Uki followed right after finishing his morning coffee.

As the two left, Alban left out a huge sigh before looking down. Ike, who noticed it, looked at the other worried.

"You noticed, didn't you?" Alban suddenly spoke up.

Ike nodded in response, "It's obvious. It shows on your face."

"I don't know why I feel this way honestly speaking. We're just friends. He thinks of me as a younger brother and that's it. Nothing more."

"You should talk to him about it. It's not fair that you're the only one who feels this way. If you talk to him about it, then maybe you can get that heavy burden that you feel out of your chest."

"I'm scared. I don't want our relationship to change just because of it."

The two fell silent after Alban's words. It didn't take long when Luca came into the kitchen to tell Alban that the stream already started and that they were just waiting for him.

"I guess we have nothing to talk about anymore. Tell him, Alban." Ike said before he left. Alban nodded and went to his room.

After Alban saw that Sonny had ended his stream, he contemplated whether he should talk to the other about what he feels.

It took him a couple of minutes before he could muster up the courage to talk to the officer.

Alban got out of his chair and walked out of his room. He stopped at the door in front of his room and took a deep breath.

Alban knocked on the door and said, "Sonny, I'm coming in." He twists open the doorknob of Sonny's room and is greeted by the two male he's been avoiding since this morning.

Alban felt tears pricking his eyes with the sight of the officer on top of the psychic. He hurriedly apologized for interrupting the two and quickly ran out and shut the door behind him.

"Alban, wait! It's not what it looks like." The officer defended as he got up and apologized to Uki before running to explain to the phantom thief that it was just a misunderstanding.

Earlier, Uki agreed to help Sonny to re-decorate his room to remodel his stream set up. Uki was organizing the books that were placed on the officer's nightstand when Sonny accidentally tripped on one of the books that Uki placed on the floor.

Alban couldn't control his emotions to the fact that he doesn't even know what he's doing and why he's running out of the house.

Sonny who was following behind him could only scream, "Alban, wait up! I swear! I can explain!" as he put his shoes and coat on.

Uki felt bad as well, so he tried to catch up with the other male but was stopped by the rest of the NIJIEN boys to have him explain what was happening.

"What's happening?" Vox asked.

"Long story short. Alban thought me, and Sonny were in the middle of something, ran out and now we're trying to explain to him that it's not what he thinks." Uki replied.

"How were you in the middle of something?" Shu asked.

"I was helping Sonny out with redecorating his room. I placed some books on the ground and Sonny tripped on it and fell on top me. Mind me, I was sitting on the bed." Uki replied.

"Should we go after them?" Luca added.

"Let's wait for them. Uki, you don't need to feel bad. Let's have them figure things out and if they can't, then let's help them out." Ike responded.

Meanwhile...

"Alban please, stop for a moment. You're going to get a cold. You don't have a coat on." Sonny yelled out.

Alban stopped and turned around smiling at Sonny.

"I told you. You didn't have to explain anything. It's nothing really. You don't have to mind me." Alban said, smiling at Sonny as tears flowed from his eyes.

Sonny felt his heart shatter at that moment, so he walked closer to Alban to wipe his tears.

"I promise. Uki was just helping me with moving things around my room. And I just tripped on one of the books that were on the floor. It's not what you think. Don't cry Alban please."

"Why do you feel the need to explain yourself?"

"Because I don't want you to misunderstand." Sonny answered calmly.

"Sonny, who am I to you?"

Sonny hesitated before answering his question. "You're my sweet otouto."

"If you just consider me as your brother, then why do you feel the need to explain yourself? I'm not even your lover. Nor will I ever be your lover." Alban added, looking down and cried even more.

Sonny was shocked. He didn't know that Alban felt that way for him. If he knew he would have answered differently. But he knew he just messed up.

Sonny tried his best to calm Alban. The officer put the male's head to his chest and caressed his back.

"Let's go home, Alban."

With these words, Alban's feelings were crushed. He just thought that he wouldn't ever have a chance with the officer.

The officer carried the phantom thief bridal style, which carried him off guard, as he walked them home.

Once they arrived, Sonny knocks on the door and waits until someone opens the door. Yugo opens the door and lets him inside.

He didn't spare a glance at the others anymore and went upstairs carefully so that Alban wouldn't bump his head on the walls.

He made his way into his room which confused the others.

"Sonny, put me down. I can go to my room on my own." Alban protested.

The officer shook his head no, and carefully put Alban down on his bed. He took Albans shoes off and began to take his coat and shoes off as well.

He lied down next to Alban and hugged the life out of the other male. Alban doesn't know why the other was still doing this so he could only cry and ask the other to stop.

"Please, Sonny. You're hurting me more than you think you are." Alban said, through his tears.

"I'm not." Sonny replied.

"Yes, you are! Can't you see? If you're doing this out of pity, then you don't have to. I can manage on my own."

"I'm not doing this out of pity." Sonny replied and looked at Alban. "I'm sorry I hurt you. I should have realized that you felt the same way. Things would have been easier for us."

"Huh?"

"I've loved you for a long time now, Alban. I was just scared that you might not think the same way, so I said that."

Alban was speechless. He couldn't say anything, and he didn't even know how to feel.

"Let's sleep for now and talk about it later. I know you're tired, Alban." Sonny advised.
