The S.S. Jarlos
Chap. 1 You're Looking For A Boyfriend
Carlos bit at his lip. He was really nervous and anxious and-ugh-he hated waiting. Carlos shifted from foot to foot and looked at his watch. 3:01. James should've gone past this hallway 1 minute ago. Now Carlos was really nervous. What should I do now? Count sheep? No...that was for falling asleep. Okay, he couldn't wait anymore. Carlos walked down the hallway and into the elevator. He pressed the fourth floor button and waited until the doors opened. Come on you stupid creation! Just OPEN already! Carlos was getting flustered. Finally, the door slid open and Carlos immediately ran down the hallway, took a left, and then stormed into the open doorway of apartment 2J.
And to his surprise, James was already there. By the way James had a towel wrapped around his head and was wearing a bathrobe, Carlos could tell James just finished his afternoon shower. Wow. And it's only 3:05. That's the shortest time he's ever taken a shower! Carlos snapped out of it and gave him and the other 2 boys a small wave.
"Heyyy...James...Kendall, Logan." Carlos said, stretching his syllables out of nervousness.
Kendall and Logan gave muffled replies, because at the moment, their faces were stuffed with Fruit Loops. Carlos smiled at them and then automatically turned to James.
"Hey James, how come I didn't see you go past the hallway downstairs?" Carlos asked, whcih was followed by James raising a curious eyebrow at him. Carlos immediately turned red, realizing what he said. "I mean-I-I...wasn't watching you or anything-pssh, that'd be weird. I meant to say why didn't C-Camille see you...like, she told me to ask why..she...didn't-see, um, you." Carlos stuttered and looked absolutely adorably flustered, that James couldn't help but laugh. He chuckled and stepped closer to Carlos.
"Well you can tell Camille that I did go past that hallway, at around 2:00, which was around the time when you were asleep by the plant in the hallway." James said, smirking at Carlos' embarassed expression. Crap. Maybe I did fall asleep. And I didn't even count sheep! James gave Carlos a big grin. "You know, you're really bad at lying. Now head on to our room and you can tell me what you wanted to tell me so badly, that you waited for me at 2:00 in the morning."
Carlos swallowed and nodded. Now that James had figured him out, he really didn't want to tell James anymore. It was quite embarassing actually.
Carlos gingerly followed James to their bedroom and stepped inside, giving James an awkward smile.
"Sit down."
Carlos rolled his eyes to lighten the mood. "You don't have to tell me to sit down, this is my room too, remember!"
James chuckled at his mistake. "Oh yeah. Oops. Short term memory loss, I guess?" Carlos stared at him, waiting for James to get back on topic. James got the message and straightened himself up. "So, Carlos. Tell me, what did you need to tell me at 3 in the morning?"
"That...that...I-I-I..I like..you." Carlos stuttered awkwardly, looking down at his feet and blushing.
James gave a little snort, which hurt Carlos a little.
"Well, yeah, I already knew that. Why would I be best friends with you and be your roommate if you didn't? Wow, I'm sorry, but that was really pointless." James said, turning around to leave the room, but stopping in his tracks as something clicked in his head. "Wait. Like...or like like?" James asked, turning around and not caring how much of an idiotic 5th grader he sounded like.
Carlos looked up at James, not knowing if he should tell the truth or lie and use the stupid act he so oftenly used. But then again...James did see through his other lies. He had even said he was horrible at lying. That was probably a sign that he shouldn't lie anymore.
"Like like." Carlos replied with a sigh, sitting down on James' bed.
James sat down beside Carlos, unsure how to respond. All of a sudden he saw Carlos in a new light. All of a sudden Carlos seemed so open to him, and more importantly, he seemed 10 times more gorgeous than he was before. And yes, matter of factly, James had always thought Carlos was pretty good looking. All of a sudden James felt like he should act upon his feelings and talk to Carlos.
All of a sudden he realized that he like liked Carlos too.
Note from me:
Soo? What'd you think? Sorry it's short, though. :\ But I admit, it is very cute. I'm actually not unhappy with this story.
So, anyways, this is going to be yet ANOTHER long term project that I may or may not finish soon. This will be VERY long term. I got the idea from Jarlos Forever by momogirl5555. I'm only copying the idea of a long term cute Jarlos fanfic where I have a bunch of one shots about their relationship in no particular order. I won't copy her actual stories. [That's just no cool, mmkay?] So thank you momogirl5555! I've been inspired :3
Oh and please R&R!
