"KENDALL!"

Kendall rushed in the shared room of apartment 2J. He frantically looked around the room searching for where the noise came from. Hearing the shower running gave him a hint on where to look. Upon opening the door he saw a sight that made him cringe. James had fallen in the shower and caused one of the casts to get soaked in water. Being that his casts were still on for another two weeks, this irritated Kendall.

Kendall turned red when he realized that his gaze was trained on James' toned body.

"Are you going to gaze at me like a fan-girl would or are you going to help me up?"

He snapped out of his trance and began to help James up,

This wasn't Kendall's first glance at the superstar's body. Being that James loved to do the exact opposite of what the doctor instructed, this was a common sight.

"James what the hell were you thinking this time? You do realize that we are here to help you until you get this cast off and rebuild your strength right?"

Kendall felt like a worried mother looking after he sick child. James had enough common sense to listen to the doctor didn't he? Why wasn't he doing what he was told?

Kendall worked to dry James off and get him dressed as best as possible. James looked adorable as he pouted. Kendall could get used to looking after James.

James looked at his alarm clock and at the blonde laying in his arms. It was three a.m. and James couldn't sleep…again. Every time he falls asleep the nightmare keeps coming back. The scene unfolds before him. He kissed Kendall and laid back, hoping some sleep without a bad dream will come his way

James looked at his phone and decided that Kendall was right, he needed to go back to the apartment.

James looked for some street sign so that he can get an idea of where he was at. He read the sign at the end of the black and he knew he was a long ways away from the comfort of apartment 2J. By this time it was almost eleven in the morning so he was beginning to get hungry. James walked three blocks before he found a good crossing where there was glorious food on the other side. Being safety conscious he walked into the street looking both ways first. The next thing he remembers is the pain in his side then the world spinning. He heard a voice that wasn't there. He felt shaking that didn't happen. All at once he was pulled back into reality. He felt warm liquid fall along his cheeks and he sees green eyes looking back at him. The eyes look familiar except this time the look in those eyes were not of love but worry.

James soon realized that he was in his room and Kendall was by his side. The clock said it was 5am. Two hours of sleep was better than the 30 minutes he got last night.

Kendall held onto him for the next three hours. The hold Kendall had on James was protective yet loving. It was like Kendall was trying to tell James that he was safe and that there was nothing to worry about. James knew that Kendall was with him for the long run. He was glad that he was cared for. With that the alarm went off, time for another day of sitting on the couch.

TWO MONTHS LATER:

James was waiting patiently as the final paperwork was finished. He had completed the rehab and he had that stupid cast off. Since the cast came off Kendall was by James' side constantly making sure that nothing got in the way of James. He considered James fragile and he needed to protect him at all cost. What Kendall doesn't know is what is going to happen when they get back to the apartment.

When they returned to the apartment James sent Kendall on an errand that would keep him away for an hour, more than enough time to get things ready for a big night. James pulled out all of the necessary supplies for the night and conveniently placed them beside the bed. He pulled out a couple roses and pulled the pedals off. He strew them across the bed and the bedroom and as he moved around he lit small candles. As it grew closer to the time for Kendall to get home he began to draw the bath water. It was not too hot and not too cold. He lit the small candles in the bathroom and turned off the lights in both rooms. He pulled out some other supplies and put them in the bathroom. When he heard Kendall call his name he respo0nded that he was in the room, little did Kendall know what laid behind the bedroom door. When he opened the door he was shocked. He saw the bedroom was like a romantic paradise. Everything looked like it came out of a romantic novel.

Kendall moved toward the bathroom not knowing what other surprises he would find however what he saw turned him on beyond belief. Before him was a bubble bath, beneath the bubbles was the superstar that he called his. James moved beckoning Kendall closer to him. Without thinking Kendall moved closer, leaving a trail of clothes behind him. Once he sank down in the tub he was greeted by a pair of skilled hands. They worked the knots and the aches out of his back and shoulders causing him to melt into the young brunettes hands. He leaned back and relaxed against James. His hands began exploring around his legs and the legs that were around him. He pulled the arms of the man behind him around his torso and held them close to his heart. Kendall felt something beginning to stir behind his back. He realized something was there that wasn't there before. He looked behind him and was met with awaiting lips. The next movements were swift. The water was draining and they were drying off. The moved to the slightly heated room and fell on the bed, entangled in each other's arms. They moved up further on the bed, James leading the way and comforting Kendall. This was going to be there real first time.
