Well, this is my first story, so please be gentle! I just think there should be more Jarlos in the world, cause seriously guys, they totally love eachother. That and it's my favorite pairing, and it sucks to know that there isn't much out there to read... Mmmk, hope you guys enjoy, it will be a multi-chapter story, cause I can't make one-shots to save my life. I write on a whim, and if I get enough reviews, I might actually finish it.~

Carlos POV

It wasn't possible. He was my friend, no, my best friend. Hell, he was practically my brother! And brothers shouldn't like each other that way. I sighed and continued to stare at the subject of my dismay, James Diamond. The 6 foot tall creature sent from the heavens. He was almost up to par of being a walking God, I swear. Hair that magically stayed so neat, facial features created by something majestic and surreal, and a body that was sculpted by the Greek God himself, women and men lining up at his feet. And I was jealous at all those who attempted to become his partner, because James was always kind and never refused, usually. I guess the good part would be was that his relationships often lasted up to a week or to just a date, but it still hurt knowing that they got their opportunity.

My eyes traveled down his chiseled body as he submerged from the pool, water glistening off of his washboard abs. I noticed one droplet in particular as it dripped off of his chin, down his chest, and straight to his navel. Without realizing it, I licked my lips as if I was parched. I continued to watch that single drop of water as it went lower towards his-

"CARLOS!" Surprised at the angelic call, my face shot up to see James staring straight at me. Oh shit! Did he realize me staring? FUCK! I have to shake it off as nothing!

"James! Done already man?" I immediately put on my facade of smiles and jumped off of the bench, grabbed his towel and walked over to hand it to him. Extending my arm out, I gave him the towel and shivered ever so lightly when our fingers brushed against one another.

"You okay buddy? You seemed so spaced out. I called you like four times." I kept my gaze on his eyes, fearing that they would travel somewhere else revealing my secret.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm good! Sorry, I was thinking about-," Come on man! Think of something fast! "-how hot the Jennifer's look today!" Good save. I inwardly congratulated myself and searched around only to realize the Jennifer's were absent... Shit.

"You sure man? They aren't even here today." He laughed his infectious laugh, and caused me to laugh with him. I suddenly felt lighter.

"Whoa! You're right! I could've sworn they were here! I think I've eaten one too many corndogs!" We laughed some more until Kendall came by looking for Jo.

"I think I saw Jo hanging out with Camille earlier in the lobby." James told Kendall, who appreciated it and went off. He turned back to me and smiled, that smile.

"So do you want to go and play some vid-"

"Hey James!" I was interrupted by the new-new girl. We get them like every week, it was seriously getting annoying because they go straight to James, considering that Logan and Kendall were already taken.

I was almost about to yell at her, almost but I remembered I had to act straight because no one knew. "Hey new girl!" I tried hard to make my fake smile convincing, and it worked.

"Oh hey Carlos..." New girl what's-her-face peered over her shoulder to give me a glance and went back to talking to James who focused his attention towards her. What a gentleman. "So I was wondering if you'd like to go out on a dinner date with me tonight?" I could hear the flirt in her voice. What I hated was that she wasn't bad looking, so of course James would agree, but today it was a little different.

I sighed as I heard her and peered up to find him staring at me pleadingly, as if he was asking for permission to go out with her. I raised a brow and smiled softly.

"You guys have fun!" I shoved her lightly pushing her onto James naked chest and grinned at James who gave me a small smile in return. I don't know why but it hurt to look at him, so it was about time I left.

"Well I'll be going then!" I turned around and hurriedly walked towards our apartment room 2J. I arrived at to our complex and went to my shared room with James. Only removing my shoes and socks, I face planted onto my bed.

Tears were starting to form so I pushed up the upper part of my body to achieve my helmet on the headboard. I've gotten used to not wearing it, but I still sleep with it at night. I'd like to think of it as my baby blanket, but harder and heavier, okay, more like an action figure.

I curled up against my helmet and silently cried. I thought of James' face when he was being asked on his date, and that I've come to the conclusion that James was just being considerate because I was originally going to ask to hang out with him, and he didn't want to hurt my feelings. Wiping away my tears, the corners of my mouth raised because James thought about my feelings. My feelings. Soon I felt the after effects of crying and drifted off into the dream realm, where James was mine, and mine alone.

Normal POV/James POV

James watched Carlos walk out of sight and looked down at the female clutching his bare chest. Peering down at the new girl, she looked up and he gave her one of his alluring smiles, completely hiding his internal conflict.

'Gina? Tina? Fantasia? ...Caroline? Damnit! What was her name again?'James thought that Carlos would help back him up by saying they already made plans, but clearly Carlos couldn't recognize his cry for help face.

Unknown to Carlos, James would much rather play video games with him or anything of that matter, rather than go on a date with a girl he's probably never going to remember afterwards. But he did have a reputation for always being Prince Charming.

Although he was the face of the group as well as the new title the ladies man, James enjoyed hanging out with his best bud more, after realizing all girls were the same, and that they got pretty competitive with each other. It was terrifying, considering how bad some of his dates ended with a girl attacking another girl who supposedly went out with him. James' thoughts trailed off topic until he heard a voice and snapped out of his trance.

"So, I'll be taking that as a yes James?" she giggled and trailed her hand down his torso, swirling her fingers along his well-defined pecks. James laughed nervously at how uncomfortable he was getting and decided that he didn't want to go out with her.

"Oh I'm so sorry beautiful but you know, I have plans already," James grabbed her hands and backed away giving himself some space, "with Carlos actually." He gave her an apologetic face, hoping that she would buy it, and hey, what he said wasn't a lie. Technically it was true.

Vigorously throwing his hands off of hers, the new girl fumed, "What! You'd rather stay with that helmet wearing freak then me!" James gave her a hard stare and cleared his throat.

"Um, excuse me, that's my best friend you're talking about, and honestly, I'd much rather hang with him," James looked at the disbelief in her face and concluded, "and besides, I don't even remember your name." He shrugged and furrowed his brows.

"THE NERVE!" the new girl actually had the audacity to smack James handsome face. "AND FOR YOU'RE INFORMATION, MY NAME IS LESLEY!" She stormed off in a fit of rage pushing and shoving past people, Logan being one of the multiple victims.

"Whoa James, what did you do now?" Logan grimaced and rubbed his sore shoulder from being jostled earlier by some crazy woman.

Rubbing his own sore cheek, James told Logan he wanted to chill with Carlos instead.

"I don't blame you man, she was nasty. Almost as bad as our experience with Mercedes." Both men gave off a synchronized shutter at the thought. Logan pat James on the back and spotted Camille heading out of the lobby into the pool area.

"Oh catch you later man!" Logan waved to Camille and ran up to her. James grabbed his stuff, looked up and saw Camille waving to him, which he gladly returned with a small shake of the hand.

Putting on his white muscle tee, James watched as they flirted to each other, oblivious to everyone around them. All of Palm Woods knew they still had the hot's for one another. James smiled and shook his head, heading straight to room 2J, passing the awkward couple, and passing Kendall and Jo who were hanging in the lobby with Katie and Bitters watching their every move.

James entered the apartment and headed to his room to find Carlos sleeping. He couldn't help but laugh as he noticed the helmet in Carlos hands. There was a saying, you can never fully out grow something that you were once closely attached too. Or something like that James thought.

Placing his stuff as gently as possible on the floor, he did not want to disrupt the sleeping boy. James tiptoed to the bathroom to take a quick shower until-

"...j-james..."

Heart nearly exploding, James whipped around to Carlos' bed and clutched at his chest.

"Carlos! You nearly gave me a heart attack! I thought you were sleeping!" James laughed and peered over to Carlos face, to learn that he was in fact still asleep.

Confused and embarrassed at what just happened, James rushed to the bathroom, closed the door and stared at the handle. So many questions flooded his mind, 'why would he be dreaming of me? M-Maybe I misheard him. He probably meant games...yeah games, James and games, easily mistakable!' that's it, James thought as he continued on with his shower. But as soon as he got into the water, the topic of Carlos saying his name came back to haunt his mind. What could it mean?

Hopefully I didn't do a terrible job. Please read/review. Anddddd, please give me constructive criticism. I want to know how I can make it better!
