James smiled and knocked on Chris's door.

Chris heard a knock coming from outside his door. Who could that be, he wondered. He sighed and got up from the couch to see who was there. As soon as the door opened, he was immediately hugged by the one and only, James Church.
"Hi James!" Chris beamed. He wanted to talk to James but, he wasn't answering his texts. Then he just shows up in person! Obviously that's better than talking through text.
James and Chris recently have been hanging out a ton. They have gotten so close. More importantly, ever since Kevin told Chris that James like-likes him, Chris has been observing how James acts around him. He's been wanting to ask him out for awhile and now he might finally have the courage to do so.
James sat down while Chris put on his coat.
"So where do you want to go?" Chris asked.
"I don't know, what about you.?"
"I dunno, you came over, you decide."
"Ugh, it's too cold to do anything." James sighed.
"Then why do anything out and about, wanna just chill here and watch some movies?" Chris asked. James answered yes, with a big smile. Was Chris worried that if he confessed his love to James, it would ruin his good mood? Maybe. But, was it going to stop him? Maybe. He didn't know what he was going to do, he couldn't just blurt it out randomly, it had to be at the right moment. When will it come? Chris didn't know.
The two began to watch a movie, it was just whatever was on TV. Actually, it was more of James just flicking through TV channels to see if any good movies were playing and to his luck he came across a channel in the middle of a Harry Potter marathon.
"Yes!" James exclaimed. "Here's plenty of good movies!" Chris smiled.
"You nerd." He said.
James jokingly, punched him in the shoulder, "Oh shut up," He laughed.
About halfway through the third movie, Chris decided to make a little move. He let his head rest on James's shoulder, making Chris smile. He loved the way it felt resting against James.
James, on the other hand, was a little shocked that Chris had rested his head on him. He was just about so surprised he kind of just sat there and stared at the TV, he didn't know what to do. He was just kind of sitting there and didn't know what was happening. He was contemplating whether to put his arm around him or not. Panicked, he did just that.
Chris looked up at him and smiled. He thought this was the right moment but, how was he going to put this into words. Maybe, "I love you." Nope. Too soon for Chris. He panicked and just said the first thing to come to mind.
"Uh, James. I-I really... likeyou." He said.
"What?" James said in disbelief. He had butterflies in his stomach. What was he going to say?
"Uh- I reallylikeyou." Chris repeated, quickly.
"Oh I uhh, like you too Chris." James felt so awkward.
"No like-" Chris paused and took a deep breath. "I really like you. Ever since we started talking you've been so sweet and here for me. Like, I like-like you."
