Author's Note: Yes, I know. It's a short one-shot but some of these stories will be this short because of the scenario its focused on. This story is just a cute, short fluff story between my number one OTP, Thomas/James~
James sighed slightly as he watches the others dance among the other students at their high school's prom. He was the only one sitting at the table while the others were dancing. The dance was at Sodor's community center where tables lined the walls, having a big enough dance floor for everyone who joined. Some couples where at the photobooth, getting their pictures taken as a memory of this night. There was a small line at the buffet table as some people grabbed a plate to fill and punch to drink. The music was soft and light that it was almost relaxing as couples were dancing to the slow song. James watched as Gordon and Connor danced together near Henry and Edward. Connor had his arms around Gordon's waist as Gordon rested his arms around his neck. Both were smiling as they slowly swayed along with the music. Henry had his arms around Edward's waist with Edward's arms around his neck. Green eyes stared into blue eyes softly as they just stared at each other, their mouths moving from talking quietly but what they were talking about, he doesn't know.
Looking to the right, he watches as Emily, Rosie, Millie, Caitlin, Toby and Percy were sitting at a table. They were talking and laughing quietly to not disturb the soft music was playing. Plates of half eaten food was laying on the table as everyone had a glass of punch in their hand. But there was one person that was missing.
Thomas.
James' shinning blue star.
James haven't told Thomas how he felt about him for he feared his reaction. The way his brown hair shines in the sun or how his blue eyes remind him of the sky. His cheeky, kind and caring personality towards everyone he met, just everything about him makes James' heart flutter. When he first met him, he wasn't so sure about him but the years of knowing him, he found out how much of a true friend he is. Then it eventually turned to love. James never felt this way towards anyone before and knew that he cared for the teen.
Looking around, James tried to find the 15-year-old among the crowd of people there. As he looked, he eventually notices his brown haired star quietly slipping out the glass towards and out to the garden. Standing up, James followed him out the door. He saw Thomas standing in the grass, staring at the sky. The moon's rays shining on his porcelain skin, causing it to glow.
"What are you doing out here?" James asked, walking over to him.
"Looking over at him, Thomas smiled brightly and giggles a bit. "I should ask you the same thing. But honestly, I just needed some air. It was getting too hot in there for me." He said happily as he looked at the red head.
James stared down at him, entranced by how Thomas' eyes and how the moon reflected in them a tiny bit. Blushing slightly, he looked away. "I-I see."
"So, what brings you out here then?" Thomas asked innocently.
Clearing his throat away, James looked away a bit as he shakily replied. "W-well. I-I saw you walking out here and decided to follow to see if anything was wrong. That and it was also getting hot in there." James said.
Thomas hummed in acknowledgement before looking back up at the sky smiling. James gulped quietly as he looked at his blue star standing next to him. His heart fluttering and his stomach queasy as his mind goes wild.
"I have to tell him. I need to tell him how I feel." James thought as he takes a deep breath. "Thomas?"
"Yes?" Thomas replied, looking at him.
Feeling his face burn a bit, he stares at him as his nerves try to get him to stop. "I-I have something to tell you. Y-You see, for the last few months, I-I've been feeling strange whenever I'm around you. You always make me smile, you cheer me up when I'm down, heck, you even help me clean my car. A-And every time I'm near you, my heart beats faster then ever and it feels like I have butterflies in my stomach. W-What I'm trying to say Thomas is that I-I…" James started, but his nerves getting the best of him as he struggles to finish his statement.
"Blushing softly, Thomas looked away a bit before looking up at the other teen, smiling softly. "I love you James."
He said it. Those three words that James was trying to say. Looking at him in shock, he can see the sincere love shining in his eyes. Smiling softly, James gently holds him close. "I love you Thomas. I really do." James said softly. Pulling him away a bit, James closed his eyes as he gently kisses Thomas on the lips, his cheeks a bit pink. Blushing as well, Thomas pressed himself closer to James, closing his eyes as he enjoys the kiss.
Watching from the doors, Gordon and Edward smile, watching as their little brother and friend finally admitting their love to each other.
