- After some time they made themselves official, but not until a few months later that they announce/ told anyone about their relationship (as boyfriends) publicly.

- Alexander has A LOT of pictures of Elias for some reason- his eyes, him on facetime, him when he fell asleep while staying in his house, him furrowing his eyebrows when they sat to study together- HIS GALLERY IS LIKE AT LEAST 60% ELIAS.

- They once made a bracelet out scrap strings and beads and stitched it together to make matching bracelets. Neither of them is willing to take them off (yes, even Alexander, yes he would wear multiple bracelets to the point of covering his arms if it meant making Elias happy :P).

- Alexander: (half-jokingly) what should I post on my Instagram?

Elias: um...I don't know, just post your best scenery or view.

Alexander: *posts multiple pictures of Elias, his eyes, him photobombing Alexander's gallery, him resting on his chest, it's basically a digital shrine of Elias at this point*

(Caption "I asked Elias what to post here and he said 'just post you best view'")

Elias:*glances through his phone* ...I meant like, a tree, or a sky, or something, Alex..☹️☹️😠🥺

- (I don't know if- they're from the Netherlands/Belgium, right? I'm Indonesian so idk if they have this tradition but it would be super cool to write about) Maybe a couple of years later, they both get to go to prom together-!! :D (or something like that), maybe it doesn't have to be a prom, just like a small party thing, and they actually dressed up, MATCHING, and finally going together as boyfriends :DD

- Elias wears Alexander's hoodies and jackets every so often, sometimes he forgets to return them to the point his family sometimes asks him why the laundry pile is getting bigger and bigger 😭😭😭😭😭 (not with Alex's family tho, they KNOW that Alex often borrows his clothes to Alex)

Im shocked to see this pic on weibo.

Annnnd that's the end of the EliXander spam~ Did you enjoy it, wonwon8?

Did everyone enjoy the spams? :DDDDD

Alrighty~ It's been a week of spams, and now I'm finally onto the last spam I promised.... Xander x Eli!! (I used to call this XanLi, but I actually realized that I think EliXander sounds better :DD). 

People sometimes think I just ship Eli and Alexander because they're "hot" together or because "they look cute", but not for reasons Elvin shippers apparently have to fangirl their OTP, since they have so much fanservice scenes and skinship.

I usually only do like pairings because they look good, or because their personalities would get along fine in a fic and it'd be interesting to read it. With all my other hardcore OTPs, it's like this. Even the one I loved the most before Elixander came around. But, with the two of them, I experienced something new, that I thought would never happen to me. I shipped them because I actually thought they were in love at some point.

Back in their debut days, they'd rely on each other so much since they could communicate well in English, better than in Korean or any other language. So, along with Kevin, they were naturally close. And it showed, they played around with each other more than with the others, they seemed to be good friends even if they had pretty clashing personalities.

Then, last year, they shared with Kevin the title of MCs in Arirang's Pops in Seoul. At that point, right from the beginning, they'd interact in such an intimate yet distant manner, it amazed me. One friend of mine who knew nothing about the group pointed out something I had already figured - "they act like they're flirting".

They did. Whenever Eli talked about his past girlfriends, Alexander would have this slightly jealous, slightly curious look that Kevin just didn't show. Sometimes Eli would either avoid looking directly at Alexander when doing so, or throw these glances at him to see his reaction - then Alexander looked away. All the times they had unexpected skinship, they'd suddenly be nervous and giggly, and when it was planned, they lingered on a bit too much (with either of them looking clumsy or happy). Conversation between them offcameras was a little stiff at times, even though they had known each other for quite a time and it wasn't like that with other members. Also, Eli was quite reticent around Alexander when he was filming for Mnet's Scandal, and Alexander was slightly cold to him in the PIS booth during that period.

It might have actually started when they got closer during the emotionally draining preparations for Man Man Ha Ni.

At that point, I think they were attracted to each other. Maybe not in love, as that is a strong expression, but a crush. I'm sure they didn't acknowledge those feelings, not their own or each other's, but they were there. Not only romantic and platonic, no - there was something sexual going on there. On Eli's part, probably from privation of intimate contact with someone; on Alexander's, out of curiosity about something new. It had just happened without either of them ever realizing.

I'm glad they didn't. I don't know what would have become of their relationship as friends if they did, or how awkward it would have been for them to keep in the group. I'm glad they could say good bye to each other as bandmates, and not as lovers or crushes, because it would have made things so painfully harder. When Eli looked at Alexander, who had just started crying then, and couldn't help but hugging him, I was relieved they were clueless, but I knew what was going on.

Now I think they're over that crush - Eli was particularly hurt and avoided mentioning both Alexander and Kibum at whichever point, unlike any other U-Kiss member, and Alexander never talked about him in particular. They broke ways more deeply than other members, and it just pains me to consider how much worse it could have been if only they knew.

That's why I think I have more reasons to ship Eli and Alexander than fans of any other pairing in this group will ever do. It could have been just me, all of this narration could have just been my active imagination, who was fond of the idea of them together since they indeed looked good as a couple in my opinion, but no one will make me believe I was delusional. I know what I saw, and the fact it was so subtle it would take keen eyes to notice it only reassure me.
