A/N: I've had this idea in my mind for a while. And I just starting writing it today. This is really more of a preview than an actual chapter. Let me know if you guys are interested in reading more of it.
Rushed, mingled breaths filled the room, love and adoration in the atmosphere. There was a disbelieving content that both boys felt, shocked almost that they had just taken that next step in their relationship. They were slowly coming down from equal highs, lying beside each other silently, speechless. There were no words to describe the way they were feeling. Such an amazing high their love provided. They knew that nothing in the world could possibly ruin this moment.
"Can you believe its already been a month since our first time?" Kendall murmured softly against James' temple as they resided on the couch in Kendall's living room. The TV was playing in the background, neither boy particularly paying much attention to it. Kendall had his arm around James' shoulder, letting the brunette rest against his side. James' head was resting on the blonde's shoulder, eyes slipping shut every few seconds. His breaths were slow and relaxed, the rise and fall of his chest resembling that if he was sleeping. It was only a matter of seconds before the brunette actually fell asleep.
James shook his head lightly against Kendall's shoulder. He didn't utter a single word, obviously too exhausted for speech.
"What's up with you lately babe?" Kendall asked, voice filled with concern and rubbed a hand up and down James' arm, attempting to get his attention.
"Hmmm?" James hummed in question, sweet hazel eyes fluttering open and gazing up at his boyfriend.
"What's up with you lately?" he repeated softly, green eyes meeting with James'.
James offered a small shrug, "I don't know. I guess I just haven't been getting enough sleep recently. I've been really tired."
"Then why don't we go up to bed?" Kendall suggested quietly, fingertips brushing along James' arm in a soothing manner. "You can just stay here tonight."
James nodded slowly, "Only if you carry me," he replied cutely, glancing up at Kendall with irresistible, puppy dog eyes.
Kendall chuckled and stood up from the couch, bending over to scoop James up into his arms. He carried his boyfriend up to his bed, lying him down against the pillows, pulling the covers over his body. Leaning down, he placed a gentle, loving kiss to his forehead, silently hoping that a good night's sleep would fix James' recent lack of energy.
He let his fingers brush back James' hair, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching as his boyfriend almost immediately fell asleep. He wondered if everything James was trying to do was spreading him thin. Between school, hockey practice and after school choir practice, it was no wonder James was so exhausted. He just wondered how long this could last before it started to hinder his health.
Either way, he was going to be there for the sleeping boy. The promise ring circling his left ring finger promised that he always he would, in sickness or in health, for better or for worse. Kendall just hoped for James' sake that it was the former, unable to stand the thought of something happening to James.
