Author's note (PLEASE READ): OMG! D: I'm SOOOOO sorry guys, but I've been SUPER busy the past few weeks. Tennis started, prom is coming up, and I was THIS close to a perfect romance, but it all turned out good :P Anyways, I'm soooooo sorry for keeping you guys, but I had several brain farts as I tried to write this. Not only was I SUPER stressed from school but all my brain went into it, and so none of my brain was left over for this D: Not only that, but I now have another story Just My Swagger that I have to write, and possibly another one coming up soon. Maybe, I even have a huge plot for this new story, and it's going to be an AU, but it's going to be slash and come up amazingly. So look out for Identity Crisis coming soon to a Fanfiction near you. OK! Now back to the story, I actually quite liked writing this one, due to the fact that it's my ideal of a romance. And I had a chance to put Kogan in here, but I decided I didn't want to take away from the JARLOS! XD So if you don't like this couple, I'm sorry : ( But the next couple I'll spoil for you guys next…IT'S CARGAN! And if you guys can guess the song, you'll probably be able to enjoy the next chapter fully. So I hope you like this!

Chapter 3

Music Inspiration: City Is Ours by Big Time Rush

Pairing: James and Carlos (Jarlos)

Rating: K (We will put it at K for now, because no swears, no explicit sex, nothing wrong, unless man love is considered wrong D: )

The flashing lights and the cacophony of honks and yells filled James' senses as he serenely looked out the limo window. He couldn't help but smile at the New York buildings zooming by along with the slight breeze blowing in his face. James closed the window and turned to the rest of the band.

"James! This is so amazing!" The pretty boy was pulled out of thought by the Latino's voice. He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Carlos' excited face with his head out the window.

"It'd be even more amazing if it was just "guys"!" James turned his attention to Logan and Kendall sitting with their respective girlfriends. He jokingly glared at the couples while shaking his head disapprovingly at the two brunettes making out.

"Well I'm sorry James, but if you and Carlitos had girlfriends, you'd have brought them as well!" Kendall had his arm around Jo and kept some space from the Camille and Logan love fest happening right beside them.

"Kendall, you two knew this was guys' night out, and yet you decided to bring along some girls!" The Latino was playfully furious as he said this, and Logan briefly pulled away from his make out session to respond.

"You and James are just jealous!" Logan smirked at the two single band members before resuming swapping spit with Camille. Meanwhile Jo rested her head on Kendall's shoulder.

"Psh! Whatever!" Carlos moved over next to James and wrapped his arm around the brunette's shoulders. "James and I can get anyone we want! But right now, we'd rather enjoy the company of our best buds! Right James?"

James turned to the Latino and saw his wide grin and the eager look on his face. He couldn't help but feel the heat rise in his face and his heart beat faster. That adorable face was just so irresistible to him and he couldn't turn away to avoid things getting awkward. Nor could he even get words to properly escape his mouth.

"…R-right! Who needs girls?" Carlos chuckled as he pat the pretty boy's back, and James could only have some nervous laughs leave his mouth.

The Latino moved away from James, and James quickly turned his head away from Carlos. I don't know how Carlos didn't notice how red my face was.

James quickly removed himself from his thoughts and looked back up. He caught eyes with Kendall, who was looking at him with a playful smirk, as if he knew something. James then turned his head to look outside the limo, hoping to keep his thoughts on something else. He let out a long sigh and closed his eyes to try and calm himself down.

"James! We're here!"

The pretty boy's eyes shot open at Carlos' voice. He turned towards the door to see the mentioned boy jumping out of the limo and screaming at the top of his lungs. James could only smile and shake his head at the hyperness of the Latino. James looked over to the other guys and saw Jo standing up and walking out of the limo, leaving Kendall to break up the other lovely couple.

"Logan. Come on, it's time to go. You need to hurry up and get Carlos before he runs in front of a car or something." The brunette quickly pulled out of the kiss and gasped loudly, either to replace the oxygen that he had given to Camille, or the fact that Carlos was all alone in the middle of New York City. Logan dashed out of the limo, not bothering to fix his sex hair and wrinkled clothing.

"Carlos! Stay on the sidewalk!" James laughed hard at the panicking brunette and waited for Camille to leave the limo before standing up to leave.

As the mentioned brunette exited the limo, the pretty boy slowly stood up, before he felt a hand on his shoulder. James turned to see Kendall with a smirk on his face. James began to sweat and felt a little nervous at what was going on in Kendall's mind.

"Sit. We need to talk."

"…o-ok…" James did as he was told and sat back down, only to have Kendall sit right beside him. Kendall wrapped his arm around James' shoulders and pulled him close. The blonde turned to look at James, but failed to make any eye contact as the brunette kept looking nervously down at his shoes. Kendall could only roll his eyes, but the smirk was kept plastered on his face.

"Ah James, do you know how obviously in love you are with Carlos?" James shot up at and looked straight at Kendall. His hands were trembling and his leg shaking nervously. Kendall saw an initial panicked look on the brunette, before James turned his head away.

"How long have you known?" Kendall couldn't help but smile as he leaned back with his arms crossed.

"From the blushing, to the extended staring, and there's the constant contact you have with him, I'd say I've known since we've arrived here." James immediately grew a confused look on his face as he turned to look at Kendall. James couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"How is that possible? I haven't even started liking him since the house party we had." Kendall slowly turned his head and still had that annoying smirk on his face. James wanted to punch him in the face because just because of that look. Kendall slowly stood up, but kept glancing down at the boy in obvious doubt.

"Love is just amazing like that. You never know what you feel about someone. And I didn't say it was just you." With that, Kendall exited the limo, leaving James in all alone in the quiet limo.

James was confused about what just happened. He didn't know it was that obvious that he liked Carlos, and what did Kendall mean with the last statement. Either way, the last thing he needed to do now was spend his last day in New York pondering over his emotions. James was here for the fun. He stood up and quickly exited the limo, slamming the door shut behind him.

James took in his surroundings. The brisk cool air actually felt good against his skin. James blamed the recent emotional roller coaster Kendall forced him on. James closed his eyes to calm his nerves down. He just wanted to enjoy the night out with his best friends. As he took in a big breath, something knocked him from the side.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" James looked up from the ground, expecting to see some stupid pedestrian or some clumsy bicyclist on top of him, but lo and behold, it was Carlos.

"What's up buddy?" Carlos had a wide grin on his face, as if he had done nothing wrong. James was only inches away from Carlos again, but tried desperately to move out from under him, but couldn't get his body to respond. "What took you so long in the limo? I've been waiting for you!"

Damn you Kendall.

James blushed at the innocent comment Carlos made. He was surprised that he had actually been waiting for him.

"Sorry Carlos, just had something to take care of." Carlos continued to smile as he stood up off of James and reached out his hand. James took a hold of the latino's hand and pulled himself up off the ground. "Where's Kendall and them?"

"Oh! They're over there! Kendall said something about the four of them going out on a 'date night'. I didn't want to be stuck with that and I'd rather hang out with you." James' eyes went wide and quickly looked up at the four moving away from him. Kendall turned around and James saw the blonde wink at him. James definitely wanted to punch him now.

"James? Hellooooo?" James felt two hands placed on his shoulders as he was turned by the latino so they could face each other. "You there?" James was speechless at the sight in front of him. The concerned look in his eyes, the hushed tone in his voice, but Carlos still has that smile on his face that makes James almost melt.

"Sorry Carlos. Just planning on what we're going to do now that the guys totally ditched us." Carlos immediately linked his arm with James' and put a big smile on his face.

"Well, as long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter what we do." James laughed, and Carlos followed suit as the two walked down the street into the city before them.

"Ok! Then let's get going!" Carlos pulled his arm out from James and ran into a crowd. James immediately ran after him, hoping to not lose him so as to avoid future trouble, but also, he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he had lost him. "Carlos! Get back here!"

"You're going to have to catch me!" James couldn't help but smile at the free spirit he's fallen deeply in love with. He pushed and shoved through any crowd, trying to keep his sight on the boy in front of him.

-City Is Ours Montage- (Basically, James and Carlos enjoy the town, as the City Is Ours plays in the background. Imagine them basically running around New York in and out of stores, while acting all buddy buddy XD. Yes this was necessary :P Cause the City Is Ours is SUCH a montage song. Everyone agree? XP Anyways, on with the story!)

James sat down on a park bench, exhausted at what he and Carlos have been through. Not only did Carlos have a huge sugar rush due to his brilliant plan of thinking Cold Stone would be an amazing place to snack, but Carlos immediately crashed and passed out after the sugar wore off. Now James had to carry Carlos out of the bustling crowds, and into somewhere that the latino could rest peacefully.

James turned to his right, and saw Carlos peacefully resting on his side, occupying most of the bench. Even asleep, James could sense the energy exuding from his crush. A smile formed across his face as he continued to watch the sleeping boy.

The brunette turned to look in front of him as he let out a content sigh. He seriously needed to thank Kendall for this amazing night…then he was going to punch him in the face. At this moment in time however, James didn't care if Carlos felt the same way as James did for him, as long as they can keep this amazing friendship together.

Just then, James felt a something be placed on his shoulder. He turned slowly to his right shoulder, only to see Carlos' head on there. James let out a small smile as Carlos had a serene look on his face, but fully awake and James could still sense the smaller boy's energy, even if he had just woken up.

"Morning." James let out small laugh, as Carlos looked up at him and smiled.

"What a night huh?" James shook his head happily, as he turned to look out at the horizon. The horizon was beginning to brighten slowly, as a new day began.

"I'll say. I never knew you had all that energy in you." The two laughed out loud as the two both looked out at the rising sun and brightening sky.

"Because when I'm with you James, I can't help but be happy. I guess it's cause of how much I like you." The two turned towards one another and looked into each other's eyes. James smiled and let out a small laugh.

"I like you too Carlos. I'm glad we're friends." James smiled widely, but was surprised that Carlos wasn't smiling. In fact, he had a pleading look on his face, while it also looked like he was thinking hard about something.

Just then, Carlos leaned in and placed a small peck on James' lips. Carlos pulled away, and James saw and innocent look on his face. Both stared at each for the longest time. Carlos with a small smile and looking up and James, and James still processing the past few minutes. James opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but Carlos took his head off his shoulder and looked out in front of him and began to speak.

"I mean that I actually like you James. You're an amazing person. You take care of me, make me laugh, and when I'm around you, I can't help but be energetic. I'm always hoping that I'll catch your eye. Oh and not to mention, you're pretty hot." Carlos let out a nervous laugh as he looked down at his shoes. He still smiled, even though he believed that his idea of romance would be pointless. He still tried to remain positive and happy through probably the most nerve-wracking time of his life.

Carlos then felt something be placed on his chin, as his head was turned to his left, and his lips placed against James'. Carlos took a minute to take in the sudden action, but soon melted into the kiss and touch. Both hearts sped up, but synced with one another as their happiness rose with the sun in the sky.

The two slowly pulled away from another, not opening their eyes to try and savor the last few moments of the kiss. James opened his eyes and once again grinned at the boy sitting in front of him. Carlos smiled widely before scooting over to rest his head on the brunette's shoulder. James then proceeded to put his head on the raven's.

"Remind me to thank Kendall for helping me get alone with you."

James tensed up at the Latino's statement. Of course Kendall would meddle like this in his romances. But as he turned to try and talk to Carlos about the aforementioned blonde, he saw the Raven's eyes shut with a soft look on his face. Carlos' soft breathing calmed down James small panic attack as he slowly placed his head back on Carlos'. James watched the blue erase from the sky and be replaced with a calming goldenrod. His eyes slowly closed as he matched his breathing with his boyfriend's.

Thank you Kendall.
