Our Own Ending (Jeffmads Punk!Thomas and Nerd!James)

-9- James

I step up to the wired fence at the public pool. Thomas stands behind me.
"Here? Wouldn't the water be freezing?," Thomas complains, "I mean, it's February,"
I ignore him and start climbing.
"Whoa get down you can hurt yourself," Thomas reaches up and grabs me, "You're a lot lighter than you look,"
"Come on Thomas," I pleaded, "put me down,"
"Gee, I don't know you look pretty cute," He smirks. Fucker.
Thomas was always flirtatious. It's a great part of his personality, well from what I've seen. Yet, I do know he can get easily get very flustered.
"You know Thomas..." I tried to do my most sexiest voice, and lean toward his ear, "I'll let you fuck me, if you're up for it,"
He drops me and turns away. I have to refrain myself from laughing. He cover his face and I could see blush even though it was dark. I couldn't hold it in, I started laughing loudly.
"Fuck you," Thomas gives me the middle finger, which makes me laugh more.
"Well are you going to jump the fence?" I start climbing again, "You can't stand there forever,"
"Fine," He jumps up and grabs the wire and pulls himself over, "Done,"
"How the hell did you do that?" I jump down and look out at the pool.
"I'm tall, it's what I do," He shrugs and takes off his shoes, and I do the same.
"You know, I wasn't serious about me letting you fuck me," I sit down and put my feet in the cold water.
"Aw man, that would make my night," Thomas lays his head on my leg and closes his eyes.
He has slow breathing patterns, it's not normal. I have to remember that he can't breathe that well, so no excising a lot.
I never asked what kind of cancer he has, I don't plan to ask.
"Stop thinking about my cancer," Thomas looks up at me, and I jump, "I'm a dead man walking, who cares?" He shrugs and looks at the stars.
"H-How did you know what I was thinking about?" I ask, nervously.
"Well," He sits up and grabs my arms, "Your pulse is faster and your forehead wrinkles," He laughs, "It's pretty cute, also your whole body stiffens,"
"You must be pretty observant huh?" He chuckles.
"I just like to look at you," I feel myself blush, quickly, I look away. Goddamitt I get flustered even more easily.
"Oh come on...aren't we friends?" He giggles and teases me.
"Shut up," I look back at him and smile, "and yes we are,"
We didn't really plan to swim, since it was 50 degrees outside. So instead we just talked.
Nothing really specific, just things.
After we leave I decided to walk Thomas home.
"So, apparently I'm passing Science now, so I won't fail," He breaks the silence.
"That's great, I'm proud," I grab his hand and stare at him.
He's smiling and looking at the ground. It's pretty cute.
"Hey, James?" Thomas looks up, and his eyes reflected in the moonlight.
"Y-Yeah?" Oh god he realized I was staring.
"You can let go of my hand now," He motioned toward his house. I didn't really notice we were already here.
"Oh s-sorry," I let go and shove my hands in my pockets. Oh my god I'm so awkward.
Thomas goes inside and I walk to the my small brick house two blocks away.
I reach for my phone and see that I have 48 missed calls and 53 messages. Great.
