James' New Clothes
By SterlingRose13

"Well, what do you think?" James eagerly questioned his three friends in the living room while gesturing to his new outfit.
Logan's eyes widened in shock as he scanned over the partially opened long-sleeved shirt covered in tiny, fake diamonds against the black fabric. A swirl of the same diamonds decorated the jeans that hugged his legs then flared at the bottom over matching cowboy boots.
...He can't be serious... he thought, and was about to voice those thoughts when he noticed James' innocent (and actually serious) smile in hopes of praise. Logan sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's great, James..."
Kendall had turned around to hide the smile that would break into laughter any second now. He snorted but tried to disguise it as a cough, then attempted to appear serious when he turned around and decided to agree with Logan. He cleared his throat and hesitantly said, "Yeah it's great James. Is this your new look...?"
James frowned. He hadn't thought about when he'd need an outfit like this, he'd just admired the flashiness of it that was sure to make him stand out. "No, but I'll find a use for it." He popped his collar and flashed his famous smile again.
Carlos, however, found the outfit to be totally awesome. He stepped closer and examined the little crystals. They aren't real...right? he inquired to himself, not quite sure as to how far James would go. But those thoughts disappeared and he grabbed his wrist, encouraging him to follow. "Dude, you need to wear this to Rocque Records! Gustavo will flip!"
They ran into Camille on their way out of the elevator, a look of both surprise and light humor etched onto her pretty features once she noticed James. "Hey guys," she greeted brightly before gesturing to him. "What's with the new look?"
James stepped out of the elevator and struck a pose. "You like it?" he asked with a quirk of his eyebrow. "I call it 'The Diamond Way'. Y'know, 'cause my last name–"
"We got it, bud," Kendall interrupted, patting his shoulder. "Let's get to the studio, we're gonna be late."
...
Kelly's jaw dropped upon seeing the tall brunet confidentially saunter into the recording booth and take his place in front of the microphone. "Uh, James?" she questioned into the mic on the other side of the wall between them. "Care to explain your...trendy new outfit?"
James grinned and was about to answer when Gustavo walked in. "Sorry I'm late, I–" he broke off with one glance at James. "What is this?!" he hollered with wild hand motions. He yanked the microphone towards him and yelled, "Dog! Go change into something less distracting!"
James pouted and shuffled out of the room, his diamonds dazzling in the florescent lights as he walked.

Lol I found this tucked away in my folder, when I was writing but too shy to post, hehe. I've been negligent to this site lately & thought I should post something, heh heh. I hope you like it even though it's on the shorter side. :)
