Hey BTR fandom. This is my attempt of doing a 100 Themes Challenge. This is only because I want to write but not as much as my other stories. These will only be short chapters but my concept will be a slightly bit changed, I think.
Anyways, this idea was inspired by another BTR writing author that did a 100 themes challenge, and I don't really work well with oneshots. So for this challenge, I've decided to make 6 multi-chapter stories for each BTR slash pairing using the themes as next chapters of the story. So it's like, I have a Kames story that will develop throughout the challenge, so it's not a bunch of oneshots, but multi chapters that scatter throughout the 100 theme range. If it's confusing, just wait until I've gotten more chapters up, I think that'll clear things up a bit.
I don't have a solid understanding of what each pairings backgroud story is, I'm making it up as I go, but the new chapters to which story will be outlined with the pairing next to the title. So it's like the next chapter for this Kames, won't happen until maybe chapter 7 or so. Don't worry, these are short and easy to read, cuz I don't feel like writing as much so far.
But I hope this is good, wish me luck for the challenge =D
Summary (Kames): The moment where a boy meets another at the local supermarket. It so happens they're neighbours and sparks seem to fly between them. Let's see where this encounter leads them to now
100 Themes Challenge – 1. Introduction (Kames)
In a small little town, where a nature of icy cold and snow governed the land, a tale of a boy meets boy arises, when a new family moves into the neighbourhood. One family consisted of a mother, and her two children, a sixteen year old boy and a twelve year old girl. The boys name was Kendall, and his younger, annoying sister was Katie. And they were like any other ordinary family, but they struggled with a few money problems, so Kendall often raises his own money by working at the local supermarket, just to relieve the stress off his already hard working mother.
Then, the new family that moved in, it was also the nuclear family. A couple with a sixteen year old son names James Diamond. He was a bright young boy with dreams ahead of him, but never feared looking back for the simple memories. He was down to earth to a point that he was admired for who he was and what he was proud to become.
One day, when the new neighbours had settled and the Knights had wanted to introduce themselves, well Kendall and Katie didn't really care, it was just Mrs Knight, she had already made a friend in James' mother, and the two were tight, as if they were not friends anew, but friends rekindled. And well, being the new kid and all, he was optimised to meet up with another person that he could call his friend. He was ecstatic to hear that Mrs Knight had a son, but he's never seen him before. It'd be weird to ask that he would come over to visit one time, so he didn't really paid attention to it. Besides, he could get all the friends he wanted when he went to school.
Days passed, and neither did Kendall and James meet up or even knew the other existed for as long as they were able to be close to each other. In that time, Mrs Knight had gotten herself a waitress job to assist with the bills and her debt. But here is where the complication lies. If she has to work endless shift, with the same going for Kendall, who was going to look after poor Katie? She was not grown up enough to even be considered old enough to live by herself. She'd probably trash the place. As the idea popped in her head, she wandered to the Diamond household.
"Oh, Mrs Knight. Sorry, my mom's not in right now." James answered the door, slightly happy to see her. Ever since she and his mom have been friends, she's acted like a close aunt to him.
"Oh that's okay. I didn't mean to look for her, actually I needed to see you."
"Me?" James pointed to himself, as he backed inside to let Mrs Knight in, but she refused. It was a quick request.
"Yes. I have a waitress job I need to go to, and Katie's older brother has work he needs to go to as well. So I was wondering, if it's not a bother, that you would babysit Katie for us?" She had a pleading spark in her eyes, and James couldn't flat out refuse something like that for her loving aunt.
"Oh, well I'll be happy to babysit Katie for you." James reassured her with his worthy smile. She even grew happy herself.
"Wonderful, thank you James. Come over at around 6 and I'll tell you what you need to know. Okay, thank you again," She said hastily before leaving to return. James wasn't even wondering about that he was about to enter the Knight household, probably have forgotten that they had a kid his age that he could hang out with just around the neighbourhood.
But he was just happy to help out Mrs Knight. So he couldn't wait to babysit Katie. Hopefully she isn't a pain that'll made James regret his choice.
–
Near 6, just before, Kendall was getting ready for his shift at the supermarket, and Mrs Knight was getting dressed up for her waitress job. And Katie was planted in front of the couch, watching TV while doing her homework at the same time. Though more TV watching than her homework.
Kendall hopped down the steps, grabbed his lucky beanie and shouted out that he was leaving for work.
"Mom, Katie, I'm off for work. I'll be back soon," Kendall called as he walked out, wasn't really caring with what they had to say to that. Usually it's just an 'Okay' so he just assumed it was that. Just as he made a good time with his journey, James had walked across from his house to the Knight's household and knocked on the door.
"I'll get it," Katie yelled for her mom and went to answer the door. James was good at appearances so he was acting like a charming, responsible boy when he was greeted at the door. But Katie just rolled her eyes, knowing that her mom still didn't trust her to live by herself and got her a babysitter. She was not a baby after all.
"Mom, the babysitter's here!" Katie yelled as she rolled her eyes and returned to her work. Mrs Knight was just removing dinner out of the oven, before preparing herself, ready to leave, just before telling James everything he needed to know.
"Okay, James, nice to see you. Here's what you need to know: dinner's on the counter top cooling, just let Katie eat when she wants but not too late. Don't let her out, or do anything irresponsible, and if you need to, contact numbers are on the fridge, including mine. Now her brother should be home at around 9 so you can leave then." Mrs Knight instructed before letting James get settled inside the house. She kissed Katie on the top of her head.
"And Katie, you behave, listen to what James says, and don't give him too much of a hassle that you do to your brother."
"Fine!" Katie said a bit annoyed at her mom, but knew it wasn't going to stop anyways.
"Okay, I'm off. Have fun you two." She left in a hurry, like she was a woman of importance and the door slammed with a shut. James turned back to Katie, to see what she was up to.
"So, Katie. I'm James, nice to meet you," James stated, and Katie didn't spend much attention to him, just threw her hand back to meet James' handshake that she just knew he was doing, before turning back to her work.
"Um, you need help with your homework?"
"No thanks, I'm all good," Katie dismissed James off and things grew eerily quiet. Only two sentences and James knew he was on rocky grounds with her.
"Okay, so are you hungry? Or do you want to do something? Or.." James just basically spitballed, trying to break some tension between the two of them.
"Look, James. I'm a grown up person already, and I question why my mom would get me a babysitter for. So really, you could just go home if you want, I won't tell her anything." Katie didn't even meet his eyes to say what was on her mind.
"O-Oh kay, but I promised your mom I would stay here, and I'll take you up on that you are a grown up girl that can take care of herself. So, I can't leave, and you can't really make me." James said sternly, trying to show dominion over Katie.
"Ugh, fine." Katie just gave up on her work anyways, and sat next to James on the couch, watching whatever was on TV. It was spongebob, an old past time favourite, "But you are a grown up person yourself, and you have freedom of choice, so if you need to go anywhere, I ain't gonna stop you. So, you have anything to do?" James was about to refuse until his phone rang in his pocket. He fished it out of his pants and saw the text he got.
"Speaking of which, my mom said I need to pass by the store for some groceries," James thought as he read the text. Pocketing his phone, he realised he had somewhere to go. But he wasn't going to drop his duties as a babysitter, so he decided just to take Katie with him, "We're going to the supermarket."
"Okay, super. Swing by my brother's store and I can ruin his work like I do at home," Katie said deviously, and James laughed at her like it was normal for sibling rivalry.
"Now now, don't need to be mean to your brother. But let's get going anyways," James said, waiting for Katie to wear her jacket and the two of them leaving to head off in the direction of the store.

Reaching the supermarket, the two entered the large building in the long walk through slush and snow. It wasn't very big, but for a small town like theirs, it was an important infrastructure.
"Okay, I guess I'll go hang out with my brother. You just come find me at the register when you're done," Katie stated and walked away, leaving James free to his doing.
"Er, o..kay," James didn't question it as he began shopping. First off, he needed bread.
Katie walked along the checkouts to see which one his brother was working at. At register 7, she skipped off to meet with him.
"Hey, big bro,"
"Katie? What are you doing here? Where's your babysitter?" Kendall asked, slightly mad that she was a bit disobedient, but he kind of expected it from her. Then again, if this was a good babysitter, then they wouldn't have let this happen.
"He needed to get some groceries so I agreed to go with him. Plus it gives me time to mess with you here, also." Katie stood in the little standing room that Kendall was behind, acting like a real bag boy that his brother seemed to fit the role, and sorta mocking him. Kendall just stared down at his sister and grinned cheekily before tickling the life out of her for teasing him and his job. It wasn't a busy day today so they were free to goof off a bit.
When James was just about ready to go to check out, he scanned for Katie, and where she should be. He's never met Katie's brother, or remember his name, let alone what he's going to look like. But he heard faint laughter and saw two people goofing off so he went to see what all the commotion was about. At the register, he saw Katie, that face he couldn't forget. And there was someone tickling her, and making her laugh crazily. And be still his heart, he was kinda cute.
A blonde, well blonde bits were sticking from underneath a beanie, was the victim. So, that was Katie's brother, was it? It was a hard resemblance to tell but it was there. Proceeding over to check out, he just acted casually, like any normal customer, unloading his purchases onto the conveyor belt and just waiting for the transaction.
"Oh, hey James." Katie said after Kendall stopped and scanned the items. It was then that Kendall followed where his sister was calling from. A tall, handsome man stood before Kendall, probably no different from him, but he was a breathtaking artwork. He had brown, soft, luscious hair and killer, piercing eyes that would've stunned Kendall had they made eye contact. Kendall had to keep his mind straight, and onto his work just to prevent his downfall.
"Er, Kendall, this is my babysitter, James." Katie mentioned as the two finally stopped to greet each other.
"So, you're Katie's brother? It's nice to meet you," James offered the same gesture as he gave Katie, but Kendall was taking it much differently than Katie had. He hesitated in stretching his hand out to shake it, all shaky and jittery but he got it there and he shook his hand. And what a soft, warm hand it was. It wasn't rough or callous, just smooth and silky, especially when their fingers weaved passed each other upon release.
"Likewise," Kendall said, before returning to work. Then, all was silent at that moment. That is, until Katie noticed the sparks that flew between the two.
"I'll leave you alone, big bro," Katie whispered to him, before fake walking away. Knowing him, she knew he didn't want her to leave, reassured as Kendall wrapped an arm around her and pulled her back in.
"Yeah, this is my sister, Katie. She can be a bit of a handful, but I hope you're up for the task." Kendall joked a bit, and to his surprise, James laughed. Not one of those serious, obnoxious laughs, but this was...flirty?
"I'm sure I'll do fine. If not, you can always help me." James always had his smile ready when he needed it, and it worked wonders when Kendall wanted to collapse on the floor. Keeping his mind one tracked, he finished ringing up James' items.
"That's 12.50, please." Kendall said, looking anywhere but at James.
"But the thing says 17." James saw and pointed out. Kendall sorta blushed because of what he was doing next.
"Er, well I'll give you my employee discount. Just as a payment type up front for babysitting my sister and all,"
"But, I'm not getting paid," James stated, and Kendall just argued with him.
"It's okay. Please, just take it."
"Oh, okay well that's so nice of you Kendall. Thank you so much," James complimented and handed him a twenty. Kendall finished the transaction and gave him his change, before just shoving his stuff in his hands.
"It's okay. Just get my sister home safely, and have fun with the rest of the night," Kendall ushered him out of the store. James just walked out with Katie, and gave one last word of thanks before leaving. Returning back to his post, Kendall just stood there, thinking about James. 'James' that word passing his lips was leaving him entranced. How did he not meet him after all this time, since he's been living in the neighbourhood. He was a bit stupid, wasn't he.
"Ahem," An elderly women coughed as Kendall snapped out of it.
"Oh, sorry Mrs Majikowski. Didn't see you there."
"Well, of course you didn't. Not with all that thinking you've got going on," She was a sweet women though, so she said it in a teasing fashion. Kendall chuckled it off.
"It was that boy, wasn't it? He's a sweet young lad," Mrs Majikowski raved on about James, and each compliment made it hard for Kendall not to fall for him.
"But, it was only an introduction. We haven't met yet." At least, not yet. And he's hoping they will.
So, how was it? This idea was inspired by a book I'm reading. See, you never see as many slash fics turning out into public media. But this book is actually slash, I can't believe it! I never thought I'd see the day that slash would go hard covered, and now my love of reading has come =D Of course, that's not to say I don't love reading, that's why I fanfic =P
Anyways, next chapter is a Cargan, and the theme is 'Love' Ain't it sweet? Be sure to alert and review if you wanna see it =D
