Of out all the things James loved about Kendall, there were three things he absolutely hated.

It was no secret that James liked to put extra effort into his appearance. Whether it was a little extra time in the bathroom in the mornings or checking his appearance in any reflective surface he could find, he just liked to look good (and he always did). He made sure that he looked perfect all the time. He never let people see him after dance rehearsal for too long, even Kendall. That was not how James wanted the other boy to see him.

That's why it pissed him off when Kendall showed no interest whatsoever. He didn't even care that James spend hours trying to look good for him. Kendall always seemed to prefer him when he was in his hockey gear or after a long dance rehearsal. James just couldn't comprehend why Kendall would prefer that over the other 80% of the time when he actually looked good.

He hated how he always played hard to get, but Kendall would never take the time to chase him. He definitely saw everything that Kendall did to impress him. The other boy was a very impressive athlete; James had to distance himself from Kendall the night he won them the state championship. He was so proud and attracted to Kendall that night; he was afraid he would do something stupid if he allowed himself to care too much.

Or how lately Kendall seemed much more calm and rarely pissed Gustavo off. He knew that that took a lot of self control on Kendall's end. Even after James pretended not to notice, Kendall didn't come kept trying to impress him and it kept working. The few days a week he was spending at the gym was doing wonders for Kendall and James definitely noticed. Still, James made no move. And he was horrified when Kendall didn't make any move towards him, despite how desperate he seemed for James' attention. Well, he had it, so why wasn't he doing anything with it?

But the thing he hated most, Kendall obviously didn't love him.
