A/N: What's going on everyone?! So this is part of the BTR Plot Adoption Forum. forum/BTR-Plot-Adoption-Forum/153090/

This is a 31 Day Challenge (courtesy of TinyHandz), with a different theme each day!

This chapter contains slash, but not all of the chapters will have it. I'll let you know at the beginning of each chapter just in case you're not into that :)

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!

Pairing: Kames (Kendall x James)

Clouds

"Today has been absolutely perfect." I said, letting out a content sigh as James and I walked through the streets of L.A.

Gustavo had given us the week off so that we could rest up before we left for tour. James and I decided to take the opportunity to spend a little time together since we've been too busy to really do anything.

"Agreed. It's been a while since we've had any alone time." James said, a smile gracing his face as he wrapped one of his arms around my waist as we walked.

That was technically true. Sure, we've had time alone when we finished writing or recording for the album, or when we finished rehearsals for tour, but we were usually too tired after to do anything but cuddle and maybe watch a movie or something.

Which is why we planned on using the week to spend some time together since the tour was bound to cut into our time together.

"You know," I started while looking up at the sky. "to this day, I can't look at clouds without thinking of our first date a few months ago." I finished, a smile forming on my face as I heard James soft laugh.

"Part of me wishes that we could have had an actual proper date. But at the same time, I don't think I would change it." He said softly. I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was replaying that day in his head, and I couldn't help but do the same.

"This sucks." James muttered as we walked out of Rocque Records.

It was our first date. Or at least, it was supposed to be, until Gustavo suddenly called us all in to finish recording vocals for our new single.

"It's not that bad." I said softly, even though deep down, I was irritated as well.

"I know that this bothers you too Ken." James said, taking a deep breath to try and calm himself down. "We've barely had any time to spend together. And when we finally do get the chance, Gustavo just had to go and ruin it." He added with a pout, which I found absolutely adorable.

I know that he felt bad about us not having our date. We had been together about a month and it seemed like every time he planned something for our first date, something always got in the way.

"Hey," I said gently, stopping to turn him to face me so that I could look in his eyes. "I know this isn't how we wanted today to go. But it's a beautiful night." I said noticing how nice it felt outside. "Besides, it's still kinda early. And we don't have to do anything fancy to have a great first date." I continued, returning the small smile that he was giving me.

"You're amazing, you know that?" He asked before pulling me in for a sweet, gentle kiss.

"Okay, I get it. I'm amazing, just stop flirting with me. Geeze. It's getting pathetic." I said jokingly, knowing that my words had the desired effect when the brunet let out a genuine laugh.

"Come on you dork. Maybe we'll just have a coffee date." He said, although the last part came out as more of a question, that breathtaking smile never leaving his face.

"I'd love that." I said softly as we started heading for the Starbucks down the street.

XxX

"You know what's crazy?" James asked suddenly.

"What?" I asked before taking a sip of my coffee.

"That it took me dating Jett to make you realize your feelings for me." He said with a teasing smile.

"Ugh. I thought we weren't ever going to speak of that again." I groaned, knowing that I would probably never live that down.

"Come on Ken, you know me better than that." He said, to which I just nodded, wanting to avoid any further embarrassment.

We fell into a comfortable silence as we sipped on our coffee. I glanced up at the sky, feeling a small smile tug at the corners of my lips.

"Look." I said to James, gesturing up at the sky.

I watched as he looked up, his jaw dropping in amazement.

"Wow. It's…" He said, seemingly looking for a word to describe it.

"Pretty amazing huh?" I asked before turning my attention back to the sky.

The sun had set a couple hours ago, but the sky was lit up by both the stars and the full moon, giving view to a few clouds. The light seemed to give the clouds almost a glowing effect.

"Yeah." He breathed out in response. "Hey, is it just me, or does that cloud look kinda like a dog?" He asked in amazement with a hint of confusion.

"Jay, don't be ridicu-" I started, stopping when I noticed the cloud he was talking about. "Huh… it really does look like a dog."

"I've always wanted a dog." He said absentmindedly, not taking his eyes off the sky.

"I'm sure we can get one someday. I mean, we can't now because of how busy we are. But maybe somewhere down the road." I offered, feeling a little flutter in my chest when he looked at me with that dazzling smile and loving look in his eyes.

"Hey, that one looks like a heart." I said before pointing to the heart shaped cloud, wanting to get his attention off me for a minute.

"Maybe it's a sign." He said in response.

"I thought you didn't believe in signs."

"I do when love is involved." He said so softly that I almost didn't hear him, but I did hear him, and I couldn't resist smiling as he reached over and laced his fingers with mine.

"It wasn't the most ideal first date…" I admitted, remembering how we spent most of the night just enjoying each other's company, sipping on coffee, and looking up at the clouds.

"No, but I have to admit, it was still pretty amazing." James said, giving me a gentle, loving squeeze.

"You're amazing." I said with a smile before leaning forward, giving him a quick kiss.

"I love you." He said gently,pulling me even closer to him.

"I love you too." I responded, shifting so that I could rest my head on his shoulder as we walked.

"You know, it's still early. You wanna head back to 2J and have a movie night?" James asked, a hint of hope in his voice.

"Sure, that sounds great."

As we started making our way back to the Palm Woods, I couldn't help but look up at the clouds as we walked.

I had no idea what the future held for us, but I was willing to just enjoy right now, and enjoy a perfect end to a perfect day.

Done! I hope that you all enjoyed it! I haven't written a one-shot in a little over a year, so my one-shot skills are a little rusty :P

I'd really love to hear your thoughts, and I hope that you check out my next one-shot which will be coming sometime tomorrow!

I'd also like to give a shout-out to TinyHandz for coming up with this amazing idea, as well as some other authors that are participating in this challenge:
