a/n - this was more of a filler chapter! but it still matters to the story... but not enough so that if i took it out it would make a difference... does that make sense? sorry if this one seems a bit rushed!
James awoke to the sound of soft music playing from the room next door. He looked beside him on the bed and after realising Carlos had gone he instantly knew what it was. He sat up, rubbed his eyes and stood up to walk into the main room of their hotel room. He stepped out to see Carlos sitting on the couch, looking at his ring with a smile on his face. James let out a little chuckle causing Carlos to turn his head.
"Oh! Hi Baby" James said walking a little further in Carlos flushed red
"Hey" James sat next to Carlos and pulled him onto his lap
"Sleep well?" Carlos nodded, letting out a little yawn and wrapping his arms around James torso and leaning his head against his chest, a smile still on his face.
"I'm taking it you like the ring?" Carlos turned his head to look up at James.
"That would be an understatement" James kissed him gently
"Good, because I'd hate to have got you something you didn't like" Carlos smiled and turned his head back towards the TV.
"Gustavo wants us in the studio today babe" Carlos said sighing. James sighed too and shook his head
"Does he not know Logan's only just getting over pneumonia and you've hurt yourself? Not to mention the fact I want to spend the day with you" Carlos shrugged
"You know him, he just wants to get the job done"
"And make things difficult in the process"
"I know... but at least we can tell them all today" James laughed nervously
"Well... Kendall already knew I was going to propose, he was there when I bought the ring and there's no doubt he's probably told Logan" Carlos chuckled and rolled his eyes
"Okay, then we can tell Gustavo and Kelly" James gently pulled Carlos' face up to his and kissed him gently
"Okay fine" Carlos kissed back gently
"oh but your telling them!" James added. Carlos laughed
"fine. We have to be there by 10" James looked up at the clock on the wall. It read 9:28.
"CRAP" He yelled, shooting up to get his and Carlos stuff together while Carlos sat on the sofa chuckling to him self.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
"Where are Carlos and James?" Gustavo asked, slightly annoyed. It was 10 past 10 and James and Carlos were running late again.
"We told you earlier, they stayed at a hotel, so they're going to take longer to get here!" Logan said, rubbing his temples. Kendall wrapped his arm around Logan's waist
"Calm down babe" Logan smiled as Kendall kissed his neck. Kelly gave them an aww and Gustavo rolled his eyes.
"SORRY WE'RE LATE!" James screamed, carrying Carlos in quickly.
"We over slept" Kelly chuckled and Gustavo groaned
"Well, we're running late, 10 precious minutes of recording time wasted, so I suggest you..." Gustavo stopped as he noticed the silver and gold ring around Carlos ring finger on his left hand. Kelly saw where he was looking and gasped looking back up at James who was setting Carlos down.
"You two got engaged?" She squeaked. Carlos smiled, blushed and nodded
"Yeah, last night" James said, looking at Kendall and Logan who were smirking back.
"That's so sweet!" She squeaked again. Carlos smiled a bit bigger and James wrapped his arm around his waist.
"Yeah... sweet. Well I guess I should say congratulations" Gustavo mumbled. James smirked. This was the most anyone had gotten from Gustavo that vaguely resembled caring. Kendall patted James on the back and hugged Carlos, as did Logan as they all walked into the recording booth, Kelly jumping up and down more than the rest of them put together.
"Okay guys, we're gunna go over Boyfriend, so on the count of three... one... two... three..."
Kendall took a breath and wrapped his arm around Logan whilst beginning to sing
Have you ever had the feeling you were drawn to someone, yeah
And there isn't anything they could have said or done
And everyday I see you on your own, and I can't believe that you're alone
But I over heard your girls and this is what they said
They all started joining in, swaying slightly
That you're looking for a boyfriend, I see that
Give me time you know I'm gunna be there
Don't be scared to come put your trust in me
Can't you see, all I really wanna be is your boyfriend
Can't fight that, let me down you know I'm coming right back
I don't care at all what you've done before
All I really want is to be your boy boy b-b-b-b-b-boyfriend
James smirked and pulled Carlos a little closer, looking into his eyes as he sing his part
Let me take a little moment to find the right words
So when I kick it to you it aint something that you've heard
I don't know what kind of guy that you prefer
But I know I gotta put myself or worse
See, I think I got that kind of love that you deserve I heard that
James and Carlos stopped singing completely as their lips crushed together and started moving together. Carlos ran his fingers through James hair as their lips continued to move. It was a good job that Gustavo wasn't recording yet. Carlos pulled away and smiled as he sung his little bit
If you tell me where I'm waiting here
Everyday like slumdog millionaire
Bigger than a twilight love affair
Ill be here, boy I swear
James chuckled at the change of lyric and for once Gustavo hadn't stopped the song as they all continued to sing, Kendall's arms wrapped around Logan's waist and James and Carlos staring into each others eyes. Kelly smiled to herself as she watched the scene in front of her, and Gustavo couldn't help but smirk a tiny bit too.
"Okay guys that was great and all, but this time without the change in lyric, and James and Carlos? SAVE IT FOR THE BEDROOM" James chuckled and Carlos blushed a bit
"That we shall" James whispered. Carlos' smile grew a little bigger as they went to stand closer to the mic
"Okay this time we're going through till I forget about you okay?" The four boys chuckled and nodded, ready to sing the song for what seemed like the millionth time.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
The four boys had collapsed on the sofa and we're watching cartoons. They hadn't bothered to change it from when Katie was watching TV as they were all comfortable and didn't want to move. James smirked as he caught Carlos looking at his ring again.
"You really like that thing don't you?"
"It's not just the ring James, It's the whole reason I have the ring that I love" James smirked as Carlos looked up at him. They kissed gently and when they pulled away James looked up to see Logan yawning
"Kendall, your boyfriends tired" Kendall looked down at Logan who nodded
"You wanna go to bed hunni?" Kendall asked quietly. Logan nodded weakly and Kendall smiled
"Okay, I'll see you two tomorrow, sleep well, and congratulations!" James smiled and Carlos said thanks as Kendall carried Logan off to their room and lay down with him on his bed.
"Logie?..." Kendall asked
"Yeah baby?" Logan replied sleepily
"Are you jealous of James and Carlos?" Logan moved so he was looking at Kendall
"meaning?"
"I mean... that they're getting married and everything..." Logan furrowed his eyebrows
"Yeah... Well sorta... I don't know. I mean yes because I really do love you and I wish we could have that but I'm not sure because maybe it's too soon?" Kendall nodded in understanding
"I see where you're coming from..." Logan sighed and rested his head back against Kendall's chest
"Why did you ask?"
"I was just wondering that's all..." Logan nodded slightly and closed his eyes, soon to find he was drifting off to sleep. Kendall stared at the ceiling thinking to himself for a while and soon found that he wasn't far behind.
