Hey, guys! I've been working on this in my head all weekend, so I'm excited! Well, I hope you like it. R+R
Carlos and James were lying in their bed asleep. James had taken Carlos on their first trip to the carnival the night before. The memory was something Carlos vowed he would never lose. He savored their ride on the Farris wheel.
They had stopped at the very top, and Carlos was afraid of heights. He was holding on to James and his eyes were shut tightly. James made the shaking boy look up at him. He leaned down and kissed him, easily making him feel safe.
James stirred and looked down at Carlos. He was simply to cute for words, in James' opinion. Carlos coughed and his eyes fluttered open. He looked up at James and gave him a sleepy smile. "Watcha doin?" He asked groggily.
"Watching you sleep. You know, you're cuter than a puppy." James replied softly. He had that twinkle in his eyes that Carlos noticed he only had when he looked at him. Carlos sat up.
James snorted. Carlos tilted his head and pouted. "What's so funny?" A lock of his hair was ticking straight up on the side of his head.
James nodded at it. "Your hair is sticking up." Carlos tried to smooth it down, but he only made it worse. After a few seconds he crossed his arms and sighed. James laughed and sat up on his knees, inches from Carlos face. "Wait here." He said as he slid off the bed and walked over to their bathroom. He flipped on the light and rummaged through the medicine cabinet above the sink.
Carlos watched him and waited as patiently as he could. Eventually he stood up and walked around, stretching. James walked in a few seconds later with a bottle of hair gel. He opened the cap and squeezed some of the liquid on his hand. He stuck it on Carlos' cowlick. It sayed down this time and Carlos looked at it in the mirror.
He shook his head. "How did I not think of that?"
James laughed. "You just didn't. There's no explaination. Come on." He said slipping his arm around Carlos waist and pulled him into the hallway. They walked into the living room and James kissed him on the cheek as they stepped out of the hall, making Carlos giggle.
"So, how did your date go last night?" Logan asked from the couch. He had a nervous expression, which made James and Carlos uneasy.
"Good." Carlos replied slowly. "What's wrong?"
"Look." He said pointing at the TV. They looked at it and James' mouth fell open. Carlos' breath caught in his throat so all he could do was squeak. James looked down at him and saw the tears in his eyes.
"No, no, no, no. This can't be happening." There was a picture of James and Carlos that was taken at the mini golf course. James was standing behind him holding Carlos' hands which were on the golf club. He sank to the floor shaking. "God no, you can't do this. Not now." His voice was breaking and so was James' heart.
Carlos looked up at him. He felt tears in his eyes as he knelt next to him. He wrapped his arms around the poor boy. "Don't worry. It'll be okay. I know it will." He couldn't stand to see that much pain in his boy's eyes.
Carlos turned his head and buried it into James' neck. He felt his hot tears running out of his eyes. "I hope so. I really do." he replied in a muffled voice.
