This is the last chapter I will be posting for the day. I hope you all have been enjoying this story.

- J a m e s POV -

I wasn't able to finish my words because I was interrupted by Aleks placing his lips upon mine. His lips were soft. Before I was able to react and return the kiss he pulled away. He stood up and looked down. He whispered that he was sorry and then exited my room. 

"What...the fuck was that?" I questioned out loud. One minute I had cancer and brain surgery on my mind and now all I could think about was Aleks. 

I knew that Aleks meant something to me and I knew I meant something to Aleks but nothing like this. I did care for Aleks as I would a girlfriend. I was always worrying over him and I always wanted to see him. I wanted him to be with me and keep me company. I never thought about liking Aleks but, I did. I developed feelings for him awhile ago but I thought Aleks wouldn't ever feel the same. He was obviously a ladies man and very into women...or so I thought. 

I didn't exactly want to storm inside of his room and shout that I felt the exact same way for him. I wanted to do something special. I know what Aleks is thinking right now. I know Aleks. I want to surprise him. 

For the first time in awhile, cancer wasn't on my mind. I hadn't thought about it one bit which made me happy and stress free for awhile. 

I walked downstairs quietly. I wasn't much of a great cook. I was never one who was to make fancy meals but for this I was willing to try.

I set up the table really nice and I cooked a fantastic meal for Aleks. I changed my clothes so that I wasn't dressed so casually and more formally. I even lite a candle for Pete's sake. I was just doing what I would do for a girl. Aleks was sort of feminine but that was one of his amazing features. 

I took out my phone as I texted Aleks. 

James: Aleksandr, would you please join me downstairs? 

- A l e k s POV -

 I was pacing around in my room. Why did I do that? I ruined everything. Now he probably won't talk to me, he won't let me come to his appointments, he won't tell me whats going on with him. I ruined a friendship that was beautiful. I shouldn't of crushed that on him anyway. He's going through a rough time and I kiss him? Gosh, how stupid...

My phone vibrated and I groaned. It was probably Eddie asking how things were. I sighed as I grabbed my phone and saw it was James. 

Jamies: Aleksandr, would you please join me downstairs?

Oh god, here it goes. He's going to ask why I did that or something. I hesitantly opened my door. As I did, the smell of freshly cooked food rushed at my face. I was taken back as I smiled. It smelled good, but who was cooking? I walked towards the stairs where I saw James standing near two chairs and a table that was set up in a 'romantic' fashion. I felt my cheeks warm up as I walked down the stairs. James was dressed rather formally. He looked really good. 

He gave me a small smile as he pointed to the other chair. I walked over and sat down. He had wine poured in glasses and an amazingly cooked meal on a plate. I looked up at him as he sat down in his chair. He was nervous but I honestly didn't know why. 

I didn't know why he did this for me or why I feel like this was a date. This was weird. 

"James, look, I'm sorry for kissing you. Eddie sort of had the idea that I do it. He said that I should kiss you before you..." I choked on the word. "Before you die." I told him as I looked down and took a bite of the food that was prepared. He had prepared a steak, and fresh vegetables. It was really, really good. I was suprirsed.

James looked up at me and he was staring at me. His big brown orbs were so...distracting. "Aleks, what did I tell you? I'm not going to die." He gave me a small smile as he didn't even mention the kiss. I decided not to bring it up again. Obviously, it didn't mean anything to him. But why would he serve this amazing dinner and dress up? 

"This is really delicious, I am so surprised you can cook.." I said as I continued eating. The rest of the time we were silent. We didn't need to say anything. We finished eating and James took my plate putting in the kitchen. He walked back to me as I stood up. 

"Well, uh, I think I'm going to go to bed...thanks for the dinner and I'm sorry for the kiss." James just smiled at me. 

"May I walk you to your room?" Okay, what was going on with him? I nodded as he followed me up to my room and inside. He was looking at me and I sat down on my bed. 

"What...are uh...you doing, James?" I asked him as he came over and sat down next to me. I looked at him as he placed his hand on my cheek. I felt my cheeks heat up as he grinned.

- J a m e s POV -

Aleks kept trying to apologize for kissing me. It was getting so annoying. Thankfully, we both finally shut up and just continued eating. As we finished, he tried to apologize again. I didn't exactly shut down his apology, I just asked if I could walk him to his room and he agreed.

I sat down on his bed and faced him. I placed my hand on his cheek. I could feel the heat radiate off of his cheek, I grinned.

"Aleks, stop apologizing for the kiss." I told him. He stared at me as he looked down. 

"But, Ja--" 

"Stop." I said to him as I moved closer to him. "You are my best friend. You know me better than anyone else. You make me feel at home with myself and you make me want to be strong. You have helped me so much. Thank you for coming to my appointment with me today. Thank you for being there and supporting me. Thank you for caring as much as you do for me." I pulled him closer to me as I kissed his forehead. 

"Wha-?" Aleks questioned as he pulled a little bit away from me. "I just..." He wasn't sure what to say, so I continued.

"I'm not going to die on you. I am going to fight so hard to keep that promise." I said to him as I saw tears well up in the younger boys eyes. "For this one night, I want to forget about being ill. I want to get in this bed with you, and hold you. I want to be with you, Aleksandr." I told him as he was about to say something, I kissed him. 

It was definitely different from before. He kissed me back and wrapped his arms around me. The kiss lasted longer than the first. It was simple and gentle. A kiss that had meaning now. We both pulled away and Aleks smiled at me. 

"I want to be with you too, James." 

With that, the two of us curled up next to each other, wrapped in each others smell. For the first time in a long while, I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
