hello marble hornets enjoyers i have written another fic for you on this fine evening. it is a brilex fic called “fuck you and your lips” where they have a lil fun kissin and makin out :) hope u enjoy :D
Alex knocked at the front door of Brian’s home, awkwardly adjusting the tripod case that was slung over his shoulder as he waited. It was a few minutes and just before the male went to knock again, the door unlocked with a click and opened a bit - just enough to see Brian’s face, “Alex?” Brian asked, slight confusion in his voice - which confused Alex too.
“Uh…Hi?” Alex blinked, “I sent you a message last night saying that I was coming over today..? To catch some footage of you doing things around your house for b-roll for Marble Hornets..?”
Brian stared at him for a few seconds, “Oh, shit, uh…Yeah, didn’t get your message, phone’s broken, remember?” He said. Oh, right. Alex had forgotten that Brian had accidentally shattered his phone when he clumsily jumped out of a tall tree - which sent his phone flying into a cement pathway.
“Oh.” Alex replied dumbly, “Should I come back another time then..?”
Brian paused, seeming to look over his schedule in his mind, before shaking his head, “Nah, it’s alright. You’ve already come all the way here, plus, I think today’s free for me.” Brian opened the door to let Alex in and the brunette paused, quickly noticing the absence of a shirt.
“...Do you always answer the door shirtless?” Alex questioned, raising an eyebrow. Brian blinked, before chuckling.
“Not typically, but I just got out of the shower and it’s not like I was expecting visitors.”
Alex kept his eyes trained on Brian’s bare chest, because holy shit. Alex was aware that Brian was strong because of the absurd amount of times he goes to the gym, but he didn’t know exactly what his friend looked like, but goddamn, he was built. Alex’s mouth remained slightly ajar as he stood there, practically drinking in the curves of muscle as if he were an unhydrated plant that had just been watered. Just by the looks of it, Brian could definitely easily bench press him- wait.
What was he thinking? Alex blinked and tore his eyes away to look at Brian’s face.
Brian looked vaguely amused, crossing his arms, “Done ogling?”
The brunet’s face flushed in embarrassment, “I wasn’t-!”
“Okay, sure,” Brian snorted, “You gonna come in, or?”
Alex nodded, shuffling into the house, setting down the tripod case before turning to look at Brian pointedly, “You should put a shirt on.”
“I dunno, you sure you want me to do that?” The blond teased, waggling his eyebrows and Alex shot him a glare.
“It’s just-” Distracting. “It won’t work for the shots I need.”
Brian held his hands up in defeat, sighing, “If you insist.”
Alex knelt down, unzipping the tripod case to retrieve his camera and tripod. He set up the tripod, before standing back up and moving into the kitchen area of Brian’s home - setting up his camera to point into the kitchen. As he bent down to check the angle through the camera’s viewfinder, he felt an arm wrap along his shoulder, making him jump at the sudden physical interaction.
He shot a glare at Brian again, “You have to stop walking so quietly. You’ll give someone a heart attack one day, you know.”
Brian rolled his eyes, “Sure, anyways, what’s these shots for?”
“Uh,” Alex said, blinking, “It’s a sort of montage scene, y’know? To show how movie Brian is contemplating going back to Sarah during his everyday life…And stuff. So just do what you normally do in the morning.”
“Noted, should I not be talking during these scenes?”
“No, you can, I’ll probably just overlay some music.”
Brian nodded and ventured into the kitchen to begin making breakfast, Alex leaned down to watch through the viewfinder - wanting to make sure the actor remained in frame. Neither spoke as the blond put some bacon cooking and cracked some eggs into a bowl, beating them before pouring them into a pan. The smell of bacon and scrambled eggs quickly filled the air, causing Alex’s stomach to ache in hunger. Brian quietly hummed to himself and Alex watched as the blond swiftly moved over to the coffee machine, turning it on and sticking a cup underneath it.
The morning sunlight from the window lit up the entire kitchen, the whole room was illuminated in a soft, warm hue. Brian stood in front of the kitchen window, turning off the oven and the light shone around him like a halo - making him appear otherworldly. Alex watched him through the viewfinder, the camera blurring out the background to solely focus on the ethereal blond male - Alex was so distracted that he barely noticed Brian calling him until he moved towards Alex.
“Oh, uh,” Alex stumbled, “Yeah?”
“I was asking if you want a coffee?” Brian asked, nudging his head in the direction of the coffee maker. Alex blinked and his eyes went over to the kitchen island, where two plates sat.
“...You made me some?” He asked, blinking. Brian snorted.
“Yeah, you always forget to eat breakfast before you come to the shoots.” Brian shrugged, “Plus, I could practically hear your stomach growling from seven feet away.”
Alex flushed, stopping the camera and putting the lens cap on, “Oh…Thanks. And sure, I’ll have a coffee.”
“Just black?” Brian questioned as Alex made his way over to the kitchen island.
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
Brian soon returned and placed a mug in front of the director before sliding onto the island stool next to him, “How’d the shots look?” He asked, grabbing a piece of bacon and biting it.
“Oh…They looked good,” Alex shrugged, “Most of your shots come out nicely- uh…er…good. Come out good.”
Brian smiled, “Well, I’m happy to hear that.”
Red-faced, Alex nodded and stuffed some of the scrambled eggs into his mouth. The male kept his gaze down at his plate as he awkwardly ate. After a few minutes he raised his gaze to look over at Brian. Brian had his head resting on his fist, that was set on the island and he was looking right at Alex, a small but dopey grin resting on his lips.
“Can I help you?” Questioned the brunet.
“Hm, if you stay like this, then yeah,” Brian hummed, “You look really good today, y’know? Especially in this light.”
Alex stared wide eyed, face burning, and only able to choke out a small, “Oh?”
Brian’s hand inched towards Alex’s resting on top of it, “Al, how mad would you be if I kissed you?”
What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck, is this real? Were the only thoughts racing through Alex’s brain. Unable to form words, the male just slowly nodded his head. Brian leaned in and pressed their lips flush together for a few seconds before pulling away, testing the waters. Alex felt himself leaning forward as the blond pushed away, chasing.
“This okay?” Brian mumbled, his thumb gently brushing back and forth on the top of Alex’s hand.
“Definitely,” Breathed Alex, leaning back in. It was odd. Alex had always referred to himself as straight, never believing he was anything more than that - and yet here he was, kissing his friend in his kitchen. The kiss tasted of the food they had both just been eating, but it didn’t matter to Alex because he was kissing Brian. The kiss was gentle but still full of feeling, Alex wanted more. He was greedy, he leaned in further, kissing deeper and deeper. The gentle kiss slowly transitioned into something more, something messier as mouths opened and the blond’s hands went up to mess with brown locks. But Brian soon pulled away, Alex hadn’t even noticed that he was losing oxygen until the two sat separated and panting for air.
“Holy shit,” Brian’s eyes raked over Alex and he laughed, tossing his head back slightly.
“What?” Alex questioned, furrowing his eyebrows and looking through fogged up glasses.
“You’re a mess!” The blond giggled, reaching out and brushing down the brunet’s hair, which he messed up. Alex rolled his eyes, pulling off his glasses and cleaning them on his shirt. Brian went back to resting his head on his fist, waggling his eyebrows, “So, what now?”
Alex pushed his glasses back onto his face and shrugged, “Well, we could continue filming, or…”
“Or..?” Brian pushed, grinning.
“Or, we could continue kissing.”
Brian hopped from his stool getting closer to Alex, “I think I like that second option more.”
Alex grinned and pulled Brian back in by the back of his neck.
Hey if you're still taking requests for art, is it cool if I can get some fanart of Alex Kralie, but one where he doesn't look a little evil or villainous? Like just some Pre MH Alex looking pretty chill, maybe some pride pins or patches on him if you got any headcanons?
I love pre MH stuff, bc everything is so chill!! The movie would've been funky bad, but hey, the important thing is not the film, but the friends you made along the way ^__^
ALSO I love headcanons (you guys can ask me for more!!) and I headcanon Alex as an gay demisexual!
Pre MH Alex is just a shy dude, who's trying to boost his confidence by making his own film, and maybe making some friends :3
