All About James

Luke

I was currently sat in my bed, looking at the engagement ring, between my fingers. I smiled softly at the memory of James.

Flashback

Luke sat in his bed, looking out of the window, in his new room. He had just been adopted. For the very first time, since he was left on the steps in front of the orphanage. But he's 8, so it's not really like there is much for him to do anymore. He was only adopted because his new parents didn't want a really small kid, but someone who could take care of themselves, if it was an emergency.

He looked down at his nails, that for the first time since he was 4, didn't have dirt under them. He ran a hand through his freshly cut hair, feeling the soft locks under his finger tips. He stood up from the bed, and walked over to the window, looking over to the neighbor's garden.

A boy was running around, playing with a dog. The boy suddenly looked up at Luke, before a large grin spread across his face, and he waved up at Luke. Luke felt his cheeks heat up, and he raised his hand slightly, waving a little, before he quickly ran from the window. God that was embarrassing.

''Luke...?! Are you coming? We're going over to the Bleighs.'' Luke heard his step mother call, and he rushed down the stairs. ''I'm coming mother.''  14 year old Luke ran down the stairs, nearly falling, as he was doing his tie. 6 years in an all boy school really helped him know how to dress.

And he really wanted that. Because Luke was gay. Not a surprise to people who knew him, since Luke would always tell people how hot people like Leonardo DiCaprio was. But this wasn't for DiCaprio.

It was for James Bleigh. Luke's best friend, that Luke had had a crush on for so long. Luke looked into the mirror, sighing softly, when his hair didn't do as he wanted it to. ''Come on Luke... James won't care if your hair looks like a rat.'' Luke looked over at his step mother, and smiled shortly.

She and Luke's step dad were the only people who knew about him being gay. Luke followed his step- mother and father over to the Bleigh's house hold, letting Luke knock on the door. Luke stood back, waiting for the door to open.

''James...? Can... Can I tell you something...?'' Luke looked at James, and it was obvious how unsure Luke was. ''Of course Luke. You can tell me anything.'' James said and laid down next to Luke on the roof.

''I... I'm gay James...'' Luke closed his eyes, and waited for the painful words to leave James' mouth, but instead, he felt a pair of lips against his own. He opened his eyes, and saw it was James, before he kissed back, their lips moving together perfectly.

''So am I... And.. I'm in love with you Luke.'' Luke felt butterflies in his stomach, and he pecked James lips. ''I'm in love with you too James.'' Luke saw the big smile on James' face, which only made Luke smile wider. ''Well... Will you be my boyfriend then...?'' James looked nervous.

Luke didn't answer.

He just kissed James.

When I woke up, I felt a smile on my face, and felt like today was gonna be a good day. I saw that Sir Irwin was still sleeping, but I decided to get up anyway. I got on my clothes and walked outside, seeing the sun begining to rise. I walked to the lake, took off my clothes,and jumped in. I swam around, already feeling that I had more muscle, than when I first got here.

I walked up from the water, and felt my boxers cling to my legs, as I walked over to my other clothes. I sat down, deciding to just dry off a little. I was tired, but  decided that it shouldn't stop me. I silently hummed to myself, closing my eyes, as I dried. I suddenly heard someone clear their throat, making me open my eyes, and look over at the person.

James. I quickly stood up, before running over to him, hugging him. ''James!'' I felt like I could cry. I haven't seen him in almost 4 months. ''What are you doing here...?'' I looked into his eyes, seeing how happy he looked. ''I came to visit. Normally people aren't allowed to come and visit, but you're not here for the same reason as others. Speaking of. Wow, you have changed.'' James ran a hand over the slight stubble I had on my chin, a loving look on his face.

''I've been growing a little muscle here and there... And I'm not able to use hair products, so this is how it must be.'' I gently blew some of my hair away from my face, before looking at James again. ''God I love you.'' James then leaned down and kissed me, making me wrap my arms around James' neck. ''I love you more...'' My voice was muffled from being pressed against James' but I didn't complain.

I was currently doing push ups, having to take 50 more than the others, since I apparently didn't do it the right way. I looked up, to see James staring at me, biting his lip. ''Like what you see babe?'' I was a little out of breath, but I said it anyway. I saw him blush, making a grin form on my face. It quickly disappeared, when I saw Sir Irwin walk over to me again.

I did my last push ups, before standing up, keeping my back straight, as I didn't dare to look into Sir Irwin's eyes. ''This is no girl scout camp, Private.'' He looked at me, as a neutral look was on his face. ''Sir, No, Sir.'' I swallowed the lump in my throat, seeing James in the corner of my eye.

''Go shower Private. You smell.'' He pushed me towards the showers, and I quickly grabbed James' hand, dragging him with me, since I didn't want him to be alone with Sir Irwin. I dragged James into the empty changing room, already used to being here alone. ''Isn't he going pretty rough on you...?'' James went over, rubbing his hands against my slightly sore bicep.

''It's okay. He's just trying to help me grow more muscle, and become better. No need to worry. And I'm okay, it's not like he's breaking all my bones.'' I kissed his cheek, before ripping off my shirt, and throwing it into my locker. I suddenly felt a pair of hands against my chest, as a pair of lips kissed my back. ''God, you're so freaking hot... So beautiful... All mine...'' I could feel the way James' lips moved against my back, as the words left his mouth.

I turned around, so I was facing him, having to look up a bit, to look into his eyes. ''I love you.'' I then leaned up, our lips connecting in a sweet kiss. ''I love you more...'' I giggled lightly, before connecting our lips again. ''Go shower... You have the rest of the day off... We're having dinner with my parents...'' I felt James press a last kiss to my cheek, before he walked out.

I sighed softly, before taking off the rest of my clothes, and then walking into the showers, letting the water rinse my sweat covered body.
