Okay I'm kind of bored so here is a new Kames one shot. Hope this is good, for I was listening to the song 'Superman' by Taylor Swift; this is Sub!Kendall/Dom!James (for obvious reasons about the song) Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE PLOT OF THE ONE SHOT AND ANY OCS USED AND/ OR MENTIONED...! Sorry if this sucked, was lame, too short, or all the above...! Sorry if there were any grammar mistakes made during the writing, creation, and polishing of this one shot...! Sorry for the lame ending! This is AU, so be ready for that too! Sorry, blame my DC geeky-loving fest for this; I just love the idea of the BTR boys as heroes!
Kendall Knight watched (discreetly, mind you!) with longing, bright bottle green eyes at the other boy walking beside him, carrying his school books and bag with ease while chatting smoothly about random things that came to his mind to make the blonde laugh. Said blonde blushed to himself at seeing the other, a tall and well-toned brunette, push lazily a stray lock of chocolate-brown hair from his flawless face, deep mercury brown eyes shining in the weak Minnesota sun.
He...w-was gorgeous.
"Kenny, you're still there? Hello, earth to Kenny-Tim!" The brunette said in his rich, low soprano voice with a grin on his smooth, full pale lips.
"W-What? Huh, sorry...!" Kendall sputtered with a darker blush on his hallow cheeks, looking down at his shoes now; James Diamond chuckled at the cuteness of his blonde friend's rare bouts of shyness, reaching out and taking Kendall's right, spidery hand.
The green-eyed boy's heart raced at the mere touch.
"You got lost in your thoughts again, Kenny-Tim?"
"Shut up, Kon." Kendall retorted, using the hero nickname he came up with for James when they were five-years-old. James made a playful face and moved his hand so that it wrapped around the shorter boy's shoulders, his tight black Superman shirt showing off his firm six-pack and the v-shape disappearing into his tight, sky blue skinny jeans.
Kendall prayed to God that the other couldn't hear how crazy his heart was reacting to their closeness!
"Hush Timmy, can't let people know my secret!" James scolded in mock anger, his wink proving he was everything but upset.
Kendall was lost until he sighed to himself and slapped his forehead.
Duh, if he kept calling James that, those in Sherwood will figure out he is Kon, Sherwood's meta!
You see, James Dylan Diamond was in fact a meta-human, or just meta; a meta was a human with superhuman powers, like impeccable strength, speed and agility, heat-vision and X-ray vision. James was what you would call a test subject success; he had gotten into an accident at his dad's lab in California and came back with those powers the week after, that was about three years ago. Now, he was no longer a child but a superpower teen; he was Sherwood's Kon, the Superboy in flesh and blood, he's been Kon since the accident.
But to Kendall (who James called Tim for Tim Drake, AKA Red Robin/Kon-El's best friend in the big, wide world) he was still James, his Jamie, his best friend since they were two.
"S-Sorry, I'm so stupid sometimes!" The blonde snapped, frowning; James' grin fell and soon his eyes narrowed behind his whole-rimmed, black glasses. He stopped mid-step and pushed the younger, shorter boy into the nearest wall, staring deep into Kendall's shocked green eyes.
"Don't. Call. Yourself. Stupid, got it Kenny? You're not stupid at all; you're smart, cool, funny, and pretty damn cute too! You're my best friend in the whole world, no in the whole universe! You're the only person who knows my secret, you're the best in the world and just awesome so no calling yourself stupid, got it? I was stupid one time, because it took me a month to tell you, my best friend, what happened at my dad's lab! That was me being stupid but you're not stupid, besides no one would suspect me of being Kon anyway; did you really think they would associate me, a normal Hockey playing junior in high school with a cool but normal mom, after school job at her cosmetics company, with good grades and a small Husky named Aster? Nah, doubt it so no sweating about it, okay? You're the only person besides my mom, Aster and dad I want knowing I'm Kon." The brunette said in a matter-of-factly voice, smiling before pressing his lips to the blonde's cute, sloped-to-the-right nose.
Kendall blushed even darker (apparently, you can go a deeper maroon!) at the kiss but smiled at James, loving the warm gaze in those deep, soft brown eyes.
"Okay." Was all he could say, getting a grin from the taller boy again.
"Good! Now, why the heck are we walking to your house? Come on, flying cuts the time in half for sure!"
"Wait, what!" Kendall barely had time to react before his feet were off the ground; he squeaked and wrapped his arms tightly around James' swan neck, burying his face into his firm chest to not see the world around them shrink and pull away from their bodies.
"Ah! Jamie, better warning next time!" The blonde growled with a mild glare on, though James found it hard to take him seriously with the sun bouncing off his soft, dirty blonde hair, flushed pink cheeks and sparkling green eyes. Oh and his lips too, his full plump, soft-looking lips.
"Ha, sorry! It's just fun, you know?"
"What, scaring the crap out of me? Real funny, yeah!"
"No, silly! I mean, that you're the only person I want to carry around to fly with me! Sure I love my mom and Aster, but both are scared of heights. Plus...I want to think the sky is our secret hideaway, because only you can see me up here as me, James Diamond. I'm not just Kon with you, you get to see every side of me than just the superhero side..." James admitted, his confident grin losing its sharp edge to a tender smile.
Kendall's eyes went wide, watching in awe how the light framed his crush's face and body; he had his mother's eyes but dad's ambition, with an aura to him that was all James, beautiful and amazing and just...wow.
It made Kendall jealous at times to think how many girls (a quite a few guys because please, James is too hot to be loved by just one gender!) dream and wish to be this close to him, to his brunette friend that he's loved for as long as he could remember (the feelings really hit though when they were around twelve, and they were seventeen now so...yeah!). To think that he could be with anyone he wanted...
"R-Really, James? Am I the only person you've brought up with you here?"
"Yeah, of course! I want you to be the only person to see me this way, Kendall." James said firmly, Kendall biting his tears back as he buried his face into the other's neck, a shiver attacking his spine (though in a good way) when the brunette pressed a light kiss to the shell of his left ear.
James only called him that when he was dead serious; Kenny or Kenny-Tim were for teases or normal hangout, but the blonde hearing his name in that tone made him realize that James wasn't kidding, Kendall was the only person to have this right to see him this way, the right to be with him.
"As long as you don't forget me when you're saving the world in China or something..."
"Please, you're unforgettable. And if I go stupid and do forget you, you have the right to slap me as many times as you want when I come back home." James responded, pulling away so that he could cup the other's soft right cheek and rub his nose into the other; Kendall's face burned with warm, pleasurable heat at the other's caresses to his face, one arm tight around James' neck to not fall to his death but the other reaching out to play with his nicely brushed hair.
"But won't your mom think it's weird I'm slapping the daylights out of you?" James rolled his eyes at this.
"When I said home, I meant you silly Timmy; you're my home, I thought that was obvious!" The brunette exclaimed in a dramatic tone, Kendall chuckling to himself before having the courage to look down below them; through the wisps of clouds and rays of the setting sun, he could make out Sherwood's small roads and houses and residents, the roads resembling thrown ribbons, the houses matchboxes while the people looked like ants.
This was incredible...!
"Want to feel what it's like to fly?"
"What!" Kendall felt the warm, long strong arms let go of him; he was feeling the wind bite at his face, legs kicking everywhere to hook to imaginary edges.
"AH! JAMES!" He screamed, body flaring about until...James caught him from below, the blonde riding him like a surfboard on a low yet powerful wave.
"See, isn't this fun?"
"You idiot, are you trying to give me a heart attack! And my books and bag?" Kendall said, body trembling with a weak, slightly excited smile touching his lips; James rolled his eyes once more and pointed to the blonde's gray strap backpack, hanging for dear life to his right shoulder with his books all packed nice and neat inside.
"Dude, way ahead of you! Now chill, let me do all the work!" The brunette shouted over the roar of the skies and clouds now speeding as if on fast forward on a DVD player around them; Kendall soon began laughing, sharing his trademark adorable cackle with the wind and blue layout over their heads as the sky grew dark with night, stars and a moon soon to show. James spread out his arms like an eagle in flight, smiling so big that it touched his brown eyes while his glasses glowed in the dim light.
Kendall clung to him by the neck still, legs loosely wrapped to the taller's slender hips while he pushed his chest off the other's back slightly to feel the wind blow back his shaggy, dirty blonde hair.
"YAH-HOO!" He shouted, James laughing at his best friend's childish (yet totally attractive) demeanor; he twisted their bodies sharply so that Kendall was now hanging from his chest, arms gripping at his waist while James craned his neck so that their faces were centimeters apart.
Kendall's face was flushed red but he was grinning with his perfect teeth exposed, his unbuttoned plaid blue shirt fluttering around the hem of his simple black v-neck like a cape from the wind currents.
"See why I like flying better! You can't do this walking, or anything for the matter! Metas rule, you so know that!" The brunette gloated (modestly gloated, not full-out) with a smirk, Kendall matching it with a roll of the eyes.
"Yeah yeah, metas are cool until get their butts kicked in Hockey practice!" Kendall shot back, James' face turning pink in embarrassment.
"Oh hush up now, Timmy-Tim!" James replied weakly, winking with a quick smile before looking back toward the sky; with his speed they did triple spins mid-air in only ten seconds, Kendall biting his lower lip as he stared up lovingly at the taller, older boy.
Maybe, just maybe he'll tell him...that he loved him.
Maybe, just maybe, one day he will.
His Superboy, his Superman, one day he'll tell him...
