Okay, so I know what the title to this fanfic is, but I just wanted to write this little Jarlos story.

I will warn you; it is very fluffy.

Disclaimer: I do not own BTR or the song.


I don't wanna make a scene

I don't wanna let you down

I try to do my own thing

And I'm startin' to figure it out

That it's alright

Keep it together

Wherever we go

And it's alright

Oh well whatever

Everybody needs to know

When he's performing on stage, James is taken back to the school talent show where he sung in front of a large group of people for the first time. It had been back when the boys were only 13. James remembered being nervous. But he pulled through...Was it for a girl? His family?

Nope. It was for his best friend, Carlos. Carlos had been the one who helped James practice after school. He had been the one to encourage James to even enter the talent show. James would've made quite an embarrassment of himself that night if Carlos hadn't been in the audience. Seeing him, James knew he couldn't let the smaller boy down by throwing away everything that had brought him to the stage. Now, since that day, James knows wherever he goes; Logan, Kendall...Carlos will be there for him... be there to urge him on.

You might be crazy

Have I told you lately?

That I love you

You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly

And it's crazy

How someone could change me

And no matter what it is I have to do

I'm not afraid to try

And you need to know that you're the reason...

Why...

James smiled as he watched Carlos make a fool of himself in front of the Jenifers. He couldn't help thinking to himself, Could I ask for a better best friend? Maybe even more than a friend? James sighed, as he prompted himself up with his elbow.

Carlos was too good to be true. Or, at least to James he was. Carlos had been the only one who could truly give the taller boy courage...courage to take a chance?

The courage to follow his dreams?

James hadn't been as ambitious as he was now. It was all thanks to Carlos' encouragement.

I don't even care when they say

You're a little bit off

Look'em in the eye I'd say

I can never get enough

Cuz it's alright

Keep it together

Wherever we go

And it's alright

Oh well whatever

Everybody needs to know

"James? Hey, James!"

James jumped at the sound of Rachel's voice. "Hu? Yeah, Rach?" She exchanged a glance with the other Palmwoods kids who had joined them.

"We were saying, don't you think Carlos can be..." Rachel glanced over at the smaller boy. "Don't you think he can be a little, I don't know; off, sometimes?" For a few moments, James's hazel eyes bore into her.

"You may think that...But I could never get enough," James exclaimed, rising to his feet.

And you need to know that you're the reason...

Why...

"Um, where are you going?" Rachel demanded, exchanging awkward glances with the others.

"To talk to Carlos...There's something I've been meaning to tell him," James replies as he starts to walk away. Come on James! It's now or never! "Hey, Carlos," The taller boy tapped his friend on the shoulder.

"I'll be right back ladies," Carlos turned away from the Jenifers. "What's up?"

"Can we talk in private?" James asked in a soft voice. Carlos nodded as the brunette grabbed him by the arm, and pulled him into the lobby.

"What did you want to tell me?" Carlos asks.

James takes in a deep breath. "Thank you," He says.

"Um, you're welcome? Thanks for what?"

They both sit down on a couch. "Thank you for giving me the courage to do what I love," James answers quietly.

Carlos' dark brown gaze flickers. "I...what? What do you mean?"

James can't stop himself. Words are bubbling to the surface. "I never used to be able to perform in front of people. Carlos, you helped me get over that...you helped me practice a-and everything!" James runs and through his hair. "You're the reason why Carlos...you're the reason I'm following my dreams."

A smile comes to the smaller boy's face. "I really didn't-I was always happy to help you out...you're my best friend and all-"

"I love you," James chokes out.

Carlos bites down on his bottom lip. There is an unreadable expression in his eyes. James sighs. Crap, I knew that was a bad idea! He thinks. "F-feel free to say something," James stutters.

"I-I..." Carlos coughs to clear his throat. "I think...I love you too."

If it was rainin' you would yell at the sun

Pick up the pieces when the damage is done

You say it's just another day in the shade

Look at what a mess we made...

Before James can respond or react; a cry is heard from the pool. "Hey!" It's Rachel. "It's raining?"

Everyone rushes to get inside. Carlos glances at James and smiles again. Takes the taller boy's hand and leads him outside. It is lightly drizzling. "What are we doing out here?" James questions. "It might start pouring!"

"Oh, come on!" Carlos exclaims. "It'll just be another day in the shade!" He interlocks their fingers. "Besides; I wanted to do this..." Their lips meet in a soft kiss.

The rain is coming down harder now. Neither of the boys care though. When they finally pull away, both of them are soaked wet.

"How about we go inside and dry off...then maybe we can just hang out together," James says.

Carlos nods. "I'd love that." They are still holding hands as they head back to apartment 2J.

Okay, so that whole rain thing was extremely random...oh well. I'm just gonna completely forget the order of the list now, because that was kinda stupid.

So, next I'll be doing a song request for alexrocks502 :)
