"Good morning, Mr. Diamond." Kendall mumbled when James came to the office on Monday morning. James smiled a bit at him.
"Good morning, Kendall." He replied. Kendall gulped a bit and opened his mouth to speak.
"I-..." he mumbled. "I would like to talk to you." He said. "I-If it's alright?" He said and looked up at James. The handsome brunet nodded slowly. He couldn't help but get nervous he could feel his heart pound in his chest by simply looking at the blond boy.
"Of course." He got out. "Um... Why don't we step into my office?" he suggested. Kendall looked around and then nodded and got up. The two went into James' office and closed the door.
Kendall sighed a bit and gulped when James looked out the windowed wall and pulled down the blinds. "It's about... uh... y-you know..." Kendall mumbled and looked around in the office, nervously shifting and trying to find something to look at that wasn't James.
"Oh." James simply said.
"M-Maybe... just maybe... it was a mistake." Kendall said. He didn't want to look at James. He didn't want to see the look on James' face. James was married and he had a beautiful wife and Kendall was just ruining it all. "I made a mistake. I s-shouldn't do this. I'm sorry." He said and walked towards the door, head hung low and eyes locked to the ground.
"Hey, hey wait." James said and stepped in the way. "Hey, Ken... Hold on a minute." He said and shook his head. Kendall blushed furiously at the nickname used but kept his eyes on the floor and James' feet. "W-What do you mean... mistake?" James asked.
"I shouldn't have done what I did... said those things... I'm only a burden for you." Kendall said and shook his head. "P-Please forget that." He begged and tried to pass James and leave the office. The handsome brunet blinked a few times, heart aching from hearing those words uttered by the boy he liked.
"No, hold on." James said and frowned. "I'm sorry, Kendall." He said and grabbed the blond's hand. "Please don't leave." He said. "A-Are you really sure it was a mistake?" He asked. James heard himself. He knew that right now he was being unfaithful to his wife. He was living a lie. He was lying to her. "What if it wasn't?" He asked.
Kendall looked up. His emerald eyes twinkled with hope and wishes. "R-Really?" He asked. "Y-You don't think that it was a mistake?" he asked and looked into James' hazel orbs. Kendall thought his heart would pop out of his chest. Maybe James liked him too? Maybe James liked him as much as he liked James?
James smiled a bit. "I-I don't think..." He said and shook his head. "It didn't feel like a mistake." James said. Kendall lit up like a sun and James felt his whole being warm up.
"Really?" Kendall merely breathed out. James nodded. Kendall smiled. The handsome brunet couldn't help himself and wrapped his arms around the blond. Kendall squeaked and hugged James back, burying his face in James' chest and snuggled closer. James blinked a few times but quickly tightened the hug.
This was the weird part. James felt a warmth in his chest, lightness in his head and it was wonderful. He had just never felt it before. He wondered what it was. Why it was there. If it was Kendall who caused it. James decided to test the last theory and leaned down and pecked on the blond's lips. Kendall squeaked happily and smiled up at James before the brunet leaned down and kissed him for real.
The blond whimpered happily and eagerly kissed back, smiling into the kiss and fisting at James' expensive blazer in his hands. A few minutes went by and they both reluctantly pulled away from each other to breathe. "T-That was..." Kendall mumbled and panted slightly. James nodded.
"Y-Yeah..." he said and leaned his forehead against the blond's. "That was trouble."
"Is it bad that I like trouble?" Kendall asked and puffed a little, closing his eyes and just breathing in the scent of James' cologne. James sighed.
"I'm not good for you." James said. "Too old. Too much trouble. Too dangerous." He said.
Kendall found himself smirking and tilted his head slightly and pecked on James' lips. "I live for danger." He purred and James nearly lost it right there and then. The handsome brunet once again swept down and captured the younger male's lips in a heated kiss, pulling him closer and intertwining his fingers in Kendall's blond hair.
A few knocks on the door startled them both and they quickly parted and tried to pull themselves together. James cleared his throat a bit. "Come in." He said and the door opened, revealing a young woman on the other side.
"You wanted to see me, Mr. Diamond." She said. "Uh... There was no one out here so I hope it was alright that I knocked?"
"Yes, of course." James said and glanced at the blond next to himself that was trying to act normal. "Kendall, why don't you go back to your desk and I'll call you when I need you." He suggested.
"Okay!" Kendall chirped and went out the door, smiling politely at the woman and sitting down at his desk. James forced back a smile and turned his attention to the woman.
"Come inside, Ms. Stone." He said and gestured around in his office.

"Kendall, are you home?" Carlos called and stepped into the apartment. He hung his jacket up and went into the kitchen where Kendall was making dinner. "There you are. Why didn't you answer your phone?" Carlos asked. Kendall smiled and shrugged.
"I guess I forgot to turn the sound on and didn't hear it." He said. Carlos rolled his eyes and went over to the kitchen and peeked over Kendall's shoulder down at the food on the stove.
"Mm, steak, huh?" He said and smiled. "You know I love that." Carlos said. Kendall smiled and nodded happily. "You look happy." Carlos pointed out. "What's up?"
"Hm? Nothing." Kendall said and let out a dreamy sigh. "Nothing. I'm just happy. Can't I be happy?" He asked and giggled while stirring the pot with sauce. Carlos eyed the blond and his light and happy body language. To Carlos Kendall was an open book. They had been best friends since middle school. Carlos knew that Kendall was up to something.
The small latino nodded slowly and jumped up and sat on the kitchen counter. "So how was work?" he asked. Kendall smiled to himself.
"It was great." The blond hummed and blushed a bit. He clearly tried to hide it, bringing on hand up to his cheek and pretending to scratch his temple. "Y-You know... as usual." He lied. Carlos cocked an eyebrow.
"Uh huh." He said and crossed his arms over his head. He watched as the blond's ears slowly turned red and how his whole frame started to tremble. "Is there something else you wanna tell me?" Carlos asked. Kendall giggled.
"No~..." He said and bit his bottom lip.
"Kendall." Carlos said.
"I think he likes me, Carlos." Kendall said happily. "I really think that he likes me." Carlos sighed and frowned. "He's so sweet and caring and gentle." Kendall said and sounded completely caught up in dreamland.
"He's married." The latino pointed out. "I thought I told you to end it. You're only going to end up with a bunch of trouble." Carlos said and jumped down from the counter. "You're only going to end up hurt."
"But..." Kendall mumbled and visibly hesitated. "James said that he doesn't mind. He told me that even if I'm trouble... and he's trouble... it feels right." He said and pouted childishly.
Carlos shook his head and placed a warm hand on the blond's shoulder. "You can't, Kendall." Carlos said. "It's not going to work. He's married. I hate to say this and I know that I sound like a complete ass... but you're ruining his marriage." Kendall frowned. His emerald eyes teared up and Carlos just knew that he had hurt his friend. Badly.
"B-But..." Kendall said quietly, trying to come up with something to say to defend himself with.
"Kendall... I'm sorry." Carlos said. "But this can't continue. I am your friend and I am not just about to sit and watch you ruin your life." He said. Kendall gulped and sniffled a bit. The blond was fighting back the tears and Carlos felt like slapping himself. But the small latino knew that he had to say this. He had to, for Kendall's sake. "Let him go. It's not right. It's wrong."
"But I love him." Kendall whimpered and finally allowed the tears to run down his cheeks. "It's not fair!" He whined. Carlos shook his head.
"Kendall. Please, it's for the best. Just... stop this before it goes too far." He said and tried to console his friend. But Kendall just shrugged him off.
"Don't touch me." He gritted out and sobbed. Carlos frowned. Kendall sniffled and wiped his cheeks with the back of his hand. "It's not fair." He said. "When I finally found someone I love I can't have him." Kendall whined. Carlos quickly shook his head.
"No, Kendall. No." He said and pulled his friend into a hug even though the blond struggled to get free. "There is someone out there for you. Someone who's meant for you and only you." He said. "James was simply not made for you. He's already got a wife. Your soul mate is out there somewhere. You just gotta find him."
"But I want James to be my soul mate." Kendall said. "Because when I'm with him I'm not scared of anything. He takes care of me." He said and looked down at Carlos.
"I'm sorry, Kendall." Carlos said and shook his head. Kendall frowned and burst out crying and Carlos tried his best to console him. "I'm sorry, Kendall." He repeated. "But you have to let him go."
