Hey! So this is a prompt from a special anon on Tumblr :)
And I'm not entirely sure, but I believe the same anon demanded high school AU, so yeah.
Enjoy :)
"Take that, bitch!" Kendall yelled maliciously from is best friend's lap as he "dominated" Carlos and I at a game of Scrabble.
"Kendall," James said blankly, poking the blonde in the rib. "One, I can see your letters," he began, Kendall gasping and hiding his game pieces. "Two, Logan's beating all of us." Kendall whipped his head around to look at the brunette, his eyes narrowing.
"Bitch no."
James' eyebrow quirked at the blonde, his hand moving to ruffle the boy's hair. A low growl sounded from Kendall before he huffed and turned his head to me. His green eyes burned with hatred, making me chuckle and shake my head. Suddenly, the Latino beside me spoke up.
"Nice to see you guys again," Carlos said, smiling at Kendall, then James, and then, with a longer, more meaningful stare, at me. I nodded, smiling back just as warmly. "And we're gonna get to see each other every day for the next… forever," Kendall chuckled, his hand moving on top of James' for a moment before it moved back to hold his Scrabble pieces. "Actually, until the end of this year," I corrected the blonde, his head turning to eye me challengingly again.
"Yeah, so how was summer?" the Latino asked sweetly, his eyes caging me to the question.
"Oh, I actually-"
"James motherfucking Maslow. No."
Our eyes immediately diverted back to our two friends, Kendall flipped so that James was hovering over him on the couch. I chuckled and watched with wavering interest as James held Scrabble letters in the air before chucking them across the room. The blonde's mischievous grin turned into a heartbreaking pout directed at the brunette. James suddenly stopped cackling and bit his lip in guilt.
I watched closely as, with slight hesitation, James wrapped his arms around the blonde in a tight hug, Kendall's eyes wide in surprise as peered over the brunette's shoulder at Carlos and I. James eventually let go of the slightly shorter boy, the blonde stuttering as he wobbled stiffly across the room to get his Scrabble pieces.
As he passed by us, I could spy a spark of excitement and a slight grin on Kendall's face. Aw, Kendall has a little crush on James, I thought, turning my head to a hysterical Latino. I slapped my hand against his leg and he stopped giggling immediately. We turned out head back to the brunette on the opposite couch, his expression priceless as he stared wide-eyed at a stuttering Kendall.
"What the hell just happened here?" Carlos suddenly whispered in my ear, a chuckle accenting his voice. I grinned and reached over to steal the Latino's Scrabble pieces. "This happened."
Smirking, I threw his letters across the room, lunging at him and wrapping my arm around his shoulders. A single giggle was emitted from my mouth, but Carlos was strangely silent. Pulling away from him stared into my eyes for a moment before standing up. Suddenly, he started stumbling comically around the room, mocking Kendall, who watched with an angry glare. With a huge grin, the Latino wobbled back over and grabbed my face, shooting a look back at our other two best friends.
With no other looks back, Carlos pulled our faces together, our lips meeting sloppily before parting. After a blink, my eyes only got the sight of a stumbling Carlos back over to get his Scrabble pieces with a loud cackle before closing.
"What the hell?" A loud, giggle-laced, question spilled from across the room; whether it was James or Kendall, I have no idea.
I honestly don't know what surprised me more about that moment- the fact that the kiss happened, or that I actually liked it.
I giggled louder than I should've, but I was honestly giddier than a fucking… I don't know, but damn. I hugged Kendall – the only personal touch we've ever had- and I've wanted to do that for so long, and now, I just watched the most hilarious thing on the face of the earth.
"Now, kiss!" The blonde beside me laughed, nudging me with his elbow. I quickly looked over at him, our eyes meeting before we both started cackling hysterically.
His laugh was beautiful.
"Hey, hey, Kendall," I snickered, nearly doubling over. "That was the hottest thing I have ever seen in my life," I giggled, falling over into the also hysterical boy's lap. Our eyes moved to glance at Logan and Carlos, both their faces flushed in embarrassment.
Logan shuffled in his seat, biting his lip as he shot a fast glance at Carlos, before closing his eyes again. The Latino shot us the bird, flopping into the couch achingly close to Logan. "Hey, fuck you guys," Carlos muttered at us, grabbing the smart boy's arm and pulling him up and away to his room.
"Oooooooh, is it time for sex?" The blonde above me cooed, grinning down at me. I broke into a short bit of giggling before sitting back up awkwardly.
After a moment or so of silence, Kendall spoke up quietly. "That was kinda hot though," he commented, looking away. I thought for a moment, nodding slowly. "Yeah, kinda." The blonde's head whipped back at me, his teeth moving out to bite his lip.
Fuck it.
Without hesitation, my head shot forward and I smashed our lips together, my love being conveyed in the kiss with all I had.
Suddenly, realizing what I had just done, my hands releasing Kendall's tank top before we both leaped off of the couch. "Hey, no, gotta go to the- uh- bathroom- bye!" The blonde shot away, stumbling, as I watched him go with disappointment darkening my gaze. "Shit."
I'd never tell him at this rate.
