"Jim." Len said softly, trying to pull the blond out of his trance like state. "Jim." He repeated, this time a little bit louder. "Jim!... Damnit James Tiberius, snap, Out of it!" He said firmly, his worry finally overtaking him. Jim seemed to finally realize that his best friend had been trying toget his attention for thepast ten minutes. He only ever used his full first and middle name when he was extremely worried. "Yea Bones?" He asked, somewhat tiredly.
"Goddamnit.." The doctor muttered, pulling him close. "C'mere kid..." He said softly, embracing him. "Listen Jim.. I care about you, and I Hate to see you hurt, But i can't help if you don't tell me whats bothering you." He said softly, his voice far from its usual gruffness.
Jim shrugged, trying to look nonchalant. "It's nothing Bones" He said, pulling his familar,cocky grin over his face. "Nothing my ass. You wanna tell me the truth?" the doctor grumbled, sitting back against the small cough in the dorm room they shared.
"It's just, theres this... Person, that I really care about.." The blond started, choosing his words carefully. "And the other day... I saw them with someone.. and It kinda hurt.. Y'know?" He said softly, looking towards Len. "Yea... But y'know, if I don't know who it is I can't really help can I kid?" He added, scanning his eyes over his friends face, searching for any sort of hint.
"Well.. I can't exactly just come out and tell them. I don't even think they swing the same way." He said and just realized he'dgiven away part of it, just by saying that. "Look. I've said too much already. I'm just gonna go to bed." He said, smiling, but his eyes betrayed him.
Leonard leaned foreward slightly, effectively trapping his friend against the couch. "How do y'know if ya don't try kid?" He questioned, arching an eyebrow. Before he realized it, soft, warm, and slightly chapped lips were pressed up against his own, startling him slightly. His first reaction was to stiffen and pull away in surprise, but as he did so, he realized it was a big mistake.
The look of pure hurt in Jim's eyes, shone and made him feel like the worst person on earth at that exact time. "Jim, I-" He was cut off by the blond, who shook his head, his voice cracking slightly as he spoke, "Nah, Bones. It's fine. I had a feeling you wouldn't-" This time it was him who was cut off, and he wasted no time in pressing back, and wrapping his arms around Leonard's shoulders. Len pulled away slightly to speak. "If youlda let me finish talking, then you see that I feel the same way..." He gruffed out softly, causing Jim to chuckle in amusement. "Infant." He added lightly, before pressing his lips to Jims one more time.
Jim found the originally supposed insult, to be kind of endearing, when said by Leonard. Of course, that was only because he cared too deeply for the slightly older man, to let it be seen as anything other than that.
-Later that night-
"Bones?"
"Yea kid?"
"I love you..."
"Hmph... Yea.. Love you too kid."
I might do A smutty Sequel to this, depending on the review I get :)
Enjoy~
