Kendall coughed as he leaned subconsciously against his locker, his feet shuffling in anxiety. The boy in front of him was beautiful but the blond had to remain composed.
"What is it, James?" The light question came out as more of an excited squeak, but Kendall tried to cover it with a cough and a kick against the locker behind him. He just wished the brunet would get on with it.
James smirked gently at the blond as he shifted toward him, his hand resting against the locker beside Kendall's head. A sneer formed on his face as Kendall blushed and looked away, his bushy eyebrows furrowing in embarrassment. The brunet couldn't help but blush also at the thought of flattering another guy, but he ignored the thought as soon as it came.
"You, uh, maybe," the anticipation that hugged the air was two much for the both of them, Kendall pressing himself against the locker as he finally got the courage to look up at James, and the brunet searching his hopeful emerald eyes. "Wanna go out to a movie?"
James bit his lip awkwardly and looked down to his feet, cursing the fleeting feeling that he should flee, although it was nagging at him persistently. Kendall smiled giddily at the offer and reached forward to settle a light hand on the brunet's hip, trying to ignore the doubt that James actually meant the offer.
"Like..." The blond trailed off and rolled his eyes suggestively. "A date?"
Maybe the moment had been a bit better if there weren't suddenly two bodies crashing into both of them, sending Kendall sprawling for the second time that day. Logan stood above the blond with an irritated, yet slightly excited, look, his hand reaching out for Kendall to grab.
"You two have got to stop making entrances like that," Kendall muttered and reached up to soothe his hurt shoulder. The blond's gaze subconsciously wandered in search of James, seeing that the brunet was once again being pissy with Carlos.
Pushing past Logan, Kendall raised an eyebrow at the staring contest that broke out between James and the peppy Latino and shook his head, breaking through the intense stare. "Hey, I'm fine, James is fine, Carlos and Logan are completely in love, whatever. Let's get over it."
Logan's hand colliding with the blond's head distracted Kendall, causing him to look back innocently. The rowan held a death stare at him, the smaller boy's hands tightening into a fist around the lips of his jacket. Even Carlos' stare weakened with James at the comment.
Kendall grinned cheekily and spun on his heel, prancing away, leaving two flustered boys and a partially confused James. The blond just couldn't get used to the look that clouded Logan's expression whenever someone mentioned his crush on Carlos.
"Woah, woah, slow your roll there, homeboy!" A slightly frantic called sounded from behind him and Kendall slowed a bit, his head turning to greet whoever dared to intrude on the great Kendall's roll. It was James whom decided to grace the boy with his presence.
"Oh, hi James..." A blush grew on the blond's face and grew flustered at the sight of James' smug grin, his step faltering suddenly. He was definitely butt-crazy crushing on this guy.
James' smiled shined brightly in Kendall's peripheral view as the blond looked away and hugged his arms closer to his body. Actually, every part of James seemed to shine. A day of watching out of the corner of his eyes began to grow on his actions and sights, and Kendall simultaneously loved it and hated it so much at the same time.
"Oh, uh, about that movie thing-"
"You mean date?" Kendall interjected quietly and a grin lit up his features a bit, the blond regaining confidence from earlier. The brunet's jaw flexed at the thought that Kendall seemed to immediately catch on that it was a date, his fingers fiddling with the seam of his jeans. All he could muster up was a nod at the blond before looking up, catching Kendall's sparkling gaze at him.
Before either could agree on anything, the bell rang above them and they both mentally cheered and sobbed, their emotions conflicting with their thoughts.
Kendall's eyes instinctively searched for James as he leaned against his small Honda Civic, instead of the normal searching for Logan's arrival from homeroom. The brunet was all his thoughts could gather all day and it was starting to irk the blond. He had only known James for a good six or so hours and Kendall was already flustered about him, and Kendall couldn't decide whether to love it or not; he shouldn't but it felt right.
A familiar head of dark hair came into view and Kendall smiled, although it wasn't the guy he wanted. Logan grinned at him and sped up, Carlos following closely behind him.
"Oh hi, Carlos?" The awkward greeting came out as more of a question as the Latino spun around Logan and bounced up beside Kendall, a bright smile on his face, as always. Logan caught the blond's gaze smiled cheekily, his dark brown eyes flickering to the playful Latino and back.
Carlos paused his bouncing for a moment to stuff his nose up to Kendall's ear, leaning up slightly on his toes.
"James is coming!" The shout to the blond's ear made Kendall flinch but he composed himself, trying not to look giddy as he leaned into his car more. Kendall couldn't deny that he was completely and utterly flustered as he almost desperately searched for James out of the corner of his eye in anticipation, but he also wanted to remain cool and collected and not wanting to be under James sweat body when he saw the brunet.
A roaring sound came from behind the three and they turned, being greeted with the sight of a motorcycle. The body that climbed off of it captured Kendall's attention more than the cycle and the blond and Logan met wild gazes for a moment.
The driver suddenly whipped his helmet off and gave the three a shining white smile, Kendall trying to not seem too impressed as he grinned inwardly. James' hazel gaze shifted to him fully and his gleaming smirk deepened, accented with a light tint of pink on his cheeks.
As James began strutting his way over, Kendall began to really notice the broadness of the boy's shoulders in the sunlight, opposed to earlier in the day when he could only focus on the brunet's basic masculinity.
James stopped in front of the pale blond, purposefully stand close, his chest centimeters from brushing Kendall's chest. A hard moved to rest behind the flustered blond, causing both to blush lightly.
"Like me now?" James whispered as he leaned in a bit to Kendall's ear. "Because I honestly have no idea how to really drive it." A smile graced his lips and he chuckled, beating his helmet against his leg lightly. He gaze told Kendall that he was joking.
"So how about that date?" The brunet shuffled a bit to lean away from Kendall. "Tonight at seven?"
Kendall beamed brightly at James and bit his lip, emerald eyes clashing with striking hazel eyes. A glance around told that there was no danger of Carlos or Logan attack and the blond glanced back at the brunet.
"Of course, James."
