Hello. This is a Kames fic. It is slash. It is fiction. None of this is real.
Hey guys, so I decided to make this a short series. So this will now be marked as incomplete and have mulitple chapters
As far as first dates go, Kendall and James's first date was pretty boring and generic. It wasn't like they could do much without giving themselves away to their friends and family. It was decided between them that they would keep everything under wraps until they were sure how things would work out.
Kendall wanted to make sure that they didn't go too fast. Of course if the two of them didn't work out they could still be friends, but Kendall didn't want it to be awkward if that happened. So they decided on a 'trial period' of their relationship. The trial period included a minimum 3 dates, and a very minimal amount of kissing. Anything else would have to be discussed in detail and decided on between them.
If James had his way, he and Kendall would be holding hands in the lobby, making out in the elevator and doing god knows what in their room. But that's just how James was. He went into everything headfirst, heart first, and he would deal with the consequences later. Fortunately he had Kendall, the one who thought everything through first. Most of the time.
Kendall sat down on the black wire frame chair across from James at the Starbucks three blocks from the Palmwoods. There was a Starbucks right next door to the hotel, but that was way too risky. Although anyone who saw them would assume they were just getting coffee. Well, a smoothie in James's case. Kendall wasn't going to risk it, and played it safe.
"So, what should we talk about?" James asked around his bright pink straw.
"I dunno. How's your homework?"
"The same as yours, duh. Come on, is there anything that doesn't have to do with our everyday lives that we can talk about?"
Kendall took a drink of his coffee and held it in his mouth for a second, savoring the flavor. He had ordered a regular coffee with cream and two sugars. He had never been one for the fancy cappuccinos and lattes, a regular coffee was also easier to order. "I don't know, we know basically everything about each other."
"Well, yeah, we've practically lived together since we were like six. But you didn't know I was bi, and that's sort of big thing."
Kendall cocked his eyebrow. "Any more big secrets I should know about?"
James rolled his eyes and took a long sip of his smoothie. "What about you? Any dirty laundry or skeletons in the closet?"
"Don't make this about me just yet. You didn't answer me."
"I'm not going to spill my guts to you. You may be my best friend and "trial" boyfriend, but a guy has to have his secrets," James said, making air quotes over the word trial.
"Alright, fine. I've never had sex," Kendall admitted.
James sat back in his chair and crossed his arms. "Really? You and Jo never..."
"Nope."
"Why?"
"Didn't come up," Kendall shrugged. He looked at the lid of his cup and traced a finger around the top, smearing some coffee around it.
James tapped Kendall's finger on the cup and then tapped him under the chin to look up. "Don't tell me it just 'didn't come up'. Something happened between you two. Want to talk about it?"
Kendall looked at James across the table and shook his head.
"Later?" James asked softly. Clearly this was a sore subject for his friend. It wasn't like Kendall to suddenly become closed off and quiet. Not that he was loud and open all the time or something. But closed off was definitely a side James didn't often see. Or want to see.
"Yeah, later."
"Okay. Well, I guess I've slept with someone."
Kendall perked up at that. "Really?"
"Yeah, our first week here at the Palmwoods. His name was Jake or Jack, I don't really remember now. He wasn't here long, and I don't actually know where he went."
"Your first time was with a guy?"
James nodded.
"Wow, I really thought it was going to be a girl. You always seem to chase the girls, so I never thought-"
"That's was the point. I wanted you and everyone to think I was totally straight. I mean, California is a lot more accepting of gays and everything, but I wasn't ready for all the attention, if I got any. I also didn't want to but the band in jeopardy if Gustavo or Griffin had a problem with me being, well, me."
"I understand. I would have done the same. So was Jack or Jake good?"
"It was okay, it was fast, I topped, so it wasn't painful."
Kendall smiled nervously and drank the rest of his coffee. "Maybe we shouldn't talk about sex just yet?"
"Yeah. We should probably head back, Carlos and Logan will start wondering where we've disappeared to."
Kendall tossed his cup in a nearby trash can and James carried his smoothie back to the hotel with them, sipping it along the way. Kendall took the cup from James mid drink and tossed it in one of the cans outside the Palmwoods. "Discreet, remember?"
James smiled sheepishly.
The elevator doors stood open, only Kendall and James inside waiting for it to take them up to their floor. James pressed the button for the top floor and held down the door closed button until the doors closed and the elevator started rising.
"What was that?" Kendall asked and James moved away from the control panel.
"I read online that if you hold down your floor number and the door close button it will make the elevator go straight to your destination, no stops."
"Really?" Kendall asked with a small chuckle.
James nodded and said, "And it works on this elevator. I tested it as soon as I read about it."
"Cool."
"Well, we're going to the top floor, and we're alone."
Kendall rolled his eyes and leaned in to kiss James, just a gentle press of lips.
James smiled as Kendall pulled away and laughed. "You know me so well."
"I don't think talking is your main priority when you alter an elevator for privacy."
James hummed and backed Kendall against the sidewall. He wrapped his arms behind Kendall's back and leaned their foreheads together. They had both agreed to no full on make out sessions no matter how much they wanted to, not until they were sure that they wanted to be more than just best friends.
"You're great," James whispered.
"And you're hot."
"Well tell me how you really feel," James said sarcastically.
"No," Kendall pushed James away easily. "I meant you're physically temperature wise, hot, and you were making me warm."
"But I'm still hot."
Kendall rolled his eyes. The elevator doors opened on the top floor and they stepped out. "Do you want to take the stair back down?"
"We could keep riding the elevator," James said.
Kendall bit his lip, watching the metal doors close. The light over the entrance lit up on the number 5 and the elevator was on it's way back down. "No, other people want to use it. We can walk downstairs."
James followed Kendall to the main stairs but when Kendall turned down a smaller hall leading to an unmarked doorway he stopped.
"I didn't say which stairs we were going to take," Kendall smirked. He opened the door at the end of the hall and stepped inside. "Coming?"
James entered the poorly lit stairwell and looked over the steel railing skeptically. "Service stairwell?" he asked.
"Yeah. Katie showed it to me."
"Hmm, useful."
"Yep," Kendall said grabbing James's hand and pulling him down the first few steps. According to Katie, the only person who ever used the service stairs was Buddha Bob, and he usually just used the elevators like everyone else. So the chances of them getting seen together were slim to none.
"What do you think you mom is making for dinner?" James asked casually. He rubbed his thumb over the top of Kendall's hand and squeezed it because he could.
"It's Friday."
"Fish sticks?"
Kendall smiled, "Of course it's fish sticks."
"Awesome."
annnnn! The end~
Hope you enjoyed. Please review?
