"Oh my god James," Carlos screamed, "you won again!"
James was surprisingly good at the video game they were playing.
"Yeah, I know." James flashed a smug at Carlos.
They were alone in the apartment tonight. Kendall and Logan were out, spending a date night at the movies. Katie and her mom went on a road trip for the weekend.
James had the place to himself, with his dearest boyfriend, Carlos.
"I don't know how you do it." Carlos said, as he kept his eyes glued to the screen. His hands were attached to his controller.
James' smile faded, and put his controller down. Carlos paused the game and looked at James.
"What's wrong?" Carlos had brought out his puppy eyes.
"It's just… well…" James looked at the carpet, as his cheeks burnt red. "We've been together for months now, almost a year, and… We haven't done anything special yet."
Carlos knew what he meant.
"James, honey, I'm only waiting for the right time. The perfect time." Carlos smiled as he put his hand on James' face, to bring it up.
James let Carlos' hand control his head, as he looked into Carlos' big, brown eyes.
"But what if that special time never comes? What if something happens and we break up? What if—"
James' voice got cut off by Carlos' lips suddenly on his.
The kiss was long and meaningful. James never wanted it to end. He wanted to kiss Carlos forever.
They separated and stared into each others shiny eyes.
"Nothing will happen. I won't let anything happen." Carlos said, in a very soft voice.
James blushed even harder now.
"Not even if I have to move away?" James asked.
"Ever heard of long-distance relationships?" Carlos laughed a little under his breath.
"Carlos?" James looked at the computer screen again, but he wasn't paying attention to the writing on the screen, he was just too shy to look at Carlos as he spoke.
"Yes dear?" Carlos looked to the big computer screen, to see what James was staring at. When Carlos noticed James' rosy cheeks starting to burn, he looked back at him.
"You promise?" James took a quick peek at Carlos' face.
"James, I love you." That brought James' eyes back on Carlos. "And I promise. Forever"
Carlos leaned in to give James another long, romantic kiss.
