A/N: Seriously guys, I don't think I can stop. Three in one night and I still want to write more. Oh boy, say hello to no sleep. Anyways, this one is completely tame and has absolutely no warnings and is super short. And yet this one is still my favorite so far.


James Diamond wasn't sure how he did it but he was amazed with himself nonetheless. He single-handedly got Kendall to go to the park with him, instead of staying home to play video games or running off to the rink for more hockey drills. Instead of doing any of his favorite activities, Kendall was walking through the park, hands laced with his beautiful boyfriend. Little did James know that this was actually Kendall's favorite thing to do. Spend content time with him. For how, some would say, self-absorbed James could be, he surely didn't give himself enough credit.

Their gloved fingers were intertwined, each feeling a slight tremble in the other's hands. It wasn't just the cold causing these tremors. The numerous stares they received whenever they held hands in public kept both boys on edge. James hypothesized that it bugged Kendall more than it did him because he loved attention. Plus he had spent years listening to his father's drunken ramblings about how disgusting homosexuality is so a few stares weren't a big deal to him. His skin was thicker to all the hate than Kendall's who'd been raised in a very open, accepting household.

James could sense Kendall's unease at all the stares and he began humming softly, in hopes of distracting his boyfriend. It seemed to be working until a little girl, no older than 4, came running up to them. Kendall looked momentarily horrified as they waited for the little girl to talk. Neither of them expected her to look up at Kendall and whisper innocently but not so quietly, "Your boyfriend is pretty!"

Kendall's distressed expression was replaced with a fond smile. "I know," he proclaimed proudly, squeezing his boyfriend's hand. They both watched with smiles as the little girl ran back to her parents who just smiled back at them. Sure, James was pretty proud of himself for getting Kendall to come to the park with him, but he owed that little girl credit for their first and every public kiss they shared after that.
