Daddy In Training (NovaHD)

CH.12-The End!

It was ten am the next morning. Aleks was tired but he was finally in Colorado. He had spoken to Seamus before his flight and the other was able to keep James for discarding all his little stuff. That was a relief and a sign that maybe today's plan would actually work. He went over how it would work. Seamus would take him to get some of James' favorite flowers and then drop him off at the local botanical gardens. The blond would then go off and get James and convince him to go with him to the gardens. Once there they'd find Aleks over in the little sitting area James loved and hopefully he'd talk with Aleks. There were so many things that could go wrong and neither of them expected this to go down smoothly but it was all they had right now. Aleks took a deep breath as he saw the blond, nervous about everything.

"Aleks?" Seamus asked as he walked up. "Yep." The Russian said. "Ready to do this?" The other asked as they walk out. "As ready as i can be." Aleks said honestly. "Same." Seamus said shortly. He was mostly worried about what would happen if this didn't work. James would either hate him for life or think he's another thing that needs cutting from his "perfect life". He wanted James happy more than anything but he didn't believe that was the way to do it. So they walked in silence to the blonds car, worries and doubts of how this all will go flowing through their heads. They quickly got in and took off to get the flowers, forget me nots, before dropping Aleks off. "Remember the sitting area in the fields of flowers room." Seamus said as Aleks got out. "I know, how do i look?" Aleks asked as he fixed his nice clothes he wore. "Like a desperate/creepy guy who flew miles to win someone's heart back." The blond said back with a smirk. "Thanks." The brunette said as he rolled his eyes, picking the flowers up before leaving.

With that Seamus took off to get James, thinking about what he'd say to get him to leave. "Aleks you owe me big time." He muttered as he drove, soon arriving at the others home. He got out and knocked loudly on the door, hoping James would hear. Grumbling was soon heard on the other side and soon a messy haired, cranky James opened the door. "Seamus? What are you doing here?" He asked. "I don't need you to baby me." He quickly followed up with. "I'm not here to baby you." The blond assured quickly. "I'm here because i think we need a day out together. All this shit that's been going on and we just need to relax and hang out." He said with a half smile. "I was thinking the botanical gardens, you love it there. It's always calming." He added. "My little self liked it there." James grumbled out, lying slightly. "We both know that's a lie, when we lived together you'd go there every so often cuz it was quite." Seamus said dryly. "Well fine, i just don't want to go." The younger said stubbornly. "James, stop being a pouty child and come to the damn gardens with me." The elder sighed out, half pleading him. "Fine, gimme a minute." James said as he disappeared to dress.

When James returned he was dressed in a standard hoodie with jeans and a beanie on. "Let's go to these damn gardens so i can sit for a few hours before i finally can come back home and maybe sleep a bit more." He said as he walked out of the house and to Seamus' car. "Now that's the spirit!" Seamus said sarcastically as he got in and took off. "It's eleven am. I'm allowed to be grumpy." The darknet huffed out. "I know but i couldn't sleep and i thought we needed this." The blond said as he drove. "Couldn't sleep? You have a hard time staying awake a lot." James pointed out, brow raising. "Yah well, i have a lot on my mind." Seamus said simply. "Lot of things are changing and i don't want to lose you as a friend in the process." He muttered out. The other frowned slightly. "You won't lose me Sea." He said softly. "I won't?" The elder asked hopefully. "Of course not, Sea. You're my best friend for god's sake." The younger said as he looked at the other. "You've helped me through a lot and now i want to be there for you in the future." He said honestly.

"James, you've always been there for me." Seamus admitted. "Even when you didn't know it." He said softly. "It takes a lot for me to voice my problems but that doesn't mean i don't have them. So the times we've just talked, had tea parties, whatever, at one point or another have help me when i was going through something." He said as they pulled up to the gardens. "Really?" James asked softly, thinking all he's been was a nuisances. "Really." The blond said as he took his hand. "Little you, this you, just you has been here for me and i would never change you or ask for anyone else." He said earnestly as he squeezed his hand. "I... I... I never knew..." The darknet said softly. "I know, i don't say it enough but yah..." Seamus said softly. "But anyway, enough of that. We're here." He said as he pulled his hand away before getting out of the car. "Yah.." James said as he took a deep breath before getting out. "Let's head to the spot." The elder said with a smile, getting a nod from the other.
