Hey, guys. I got this one as a request. Summary: James comes to the rescue as... bandana man?
"Now, feast your eyes on my assistant, Carlos!" James said motioning to his happy boyfriend. "He'll be helping me with the grand finale. Carlos shall disappear!" the audience of young children clapped. James was putting on a magic show for a little boy's birthday party as bandana man.
"My assistant shall step inside the box and I will say the magic words. Go on then, Carlos." he said winking. Carlos gave the children a cheerful smile and opened the door to a velvet lined box, large enough to stand in. He waved and shut it.
James turned his attention to the kids. "Will you help me say the magic words? On the count of three. One, two..."
"Abra kadabra!" the crowd yelled enthusiastically.
He opened the box and said, "Ta da! No Carlos!" the box was empty. The crowd clapped and James bowed. "That is all for the great Bandana Man!" He had rigged it so Carlos would be waiting for him behind the box. He glanced in that direction as he helped the adults clean up.
When the last of the party guests had left, he walked back up to the box. "You can come out now." There was no Carlos. He raised an eyebrow. "It's just us, you know. The kids are gone." Still no response. He walked beside the box and noticed he wasn't there. "Carlos? Where are you?" he said spinning in a circle.
"Up here!" answered a timid voice that he recognized to well. He whirled around to see Carlos clinging to a tree for dear life. "Help me! I'm afraid to be this high up by myself!" he said glancing around nervously.
"Hold on, Bandana Man will save you!" James called running up to the tree. He looked up at him and titled his head. "How the heck did you get up there?"
Carlos shrugged. "The last thing I remember was Logan walking by-" His expression changed to annoyance. "I don't know how, but I know this is his fault."
James couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry. I'm sure I can get you down." He couldn't find a low enough branch and a thought hit him. He held out his arms. "Jump! I'll catch you." he said looking up at the stranded boy.
He looked down at James uneasily. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" James nodded and Carlos closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and jumped.
He crash-landed on James and looked away shyly as he realized how he had landed. James was pinned to the ground and he enjoyed it. He smiled mischievously. "You like this, don't you? After all, it's usually the other way around."
Carlos' eyes widened and he got all flustered. "I- uh, no- yeah, I mean-" he sighed. "Oh shut up."
James laughed as Carlos sat up. He still had James pinned to the ground, but now he was grinning. "What if I do?"
"Well, then Bandana Man is happy." James replied.
Hahaha. I hope you like it. R+R
