Actions Speak Louder Than Words (somethingelseyt x odd1sout)

[James POV]
Me and Adam finished eating our breakfast in my room and went downstairs where Jaiden and Timothy  were. "You guys down for lazer tag?" I asked. "Heck yeah!" Jaiden replied and stood up, "I'm gonna go change into darker clothes so they don't see me." Jaiden walked to her room and closed the door behind her. "Me too." Adam said and went up the stairs to his room. "I'm already wearing dark clothes so I don't need to change." I said and sat on the couch with Timothy and pulled out my phone and scrolled through Twitter. Timothy agreed with me.

Ding!

My phone notification went off and I checked and saw a new post by Adam:
______________________________________

Going to play lazer tag with theodd1sout, jaidenanimations, and TimTom!
______________________________________

Adam shuffled down the stairs and Jaiden walked out of her room. "Alright, let's go!" I said and walked out the door and got into my car. Adam sat in the passenger seat and Jaiden and Timothy were in the back seats.

We drove to the lazer tag arena and went in and paid for 3 hours to play. Me and Adam were on the red team and Jaiden and Timothy were on the blue team. "Hey James, look at those people." Adam said to me while pointing to the green team who were putting black duck tape on the parts we had to shoot to get them out. "Those dirty cheaters!" I exclaimed. Soon the safety video for the game played and when it ended, we were off.

[Adam's POV]
Me and James decided to stick together and one of us would hold up the back of us and the other would hold up the front. I held up the back and followed James. Soon enough we found a fort for us to call ours. "Eliminated." My gear said as I shot Timothy. "HAHAHA GET REKT!" I cheered.

After a few minutes, we were doing amazing, we were avoiding the green team and not getting hit... until... "NOOO!!!" James exclaimed as he dramatically fell to the floor. "JAMES!" I said while holding James in my arms and fake crying. "It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay, hang in there." I said while shooting the person who shot James. "It's to late, Adam." James said and coughing after. "No please! NOOO!" "Bleh!" James said while sticking out his tongue like he died. "NO! JAMES! I LOVED YOUUUU!!"I exclaimed, James still in my arms.

"I must avenge your death.." I put James down and stood up and looked up from James dead body. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" I looked around me and saw the green team aiming they're guns right at me. "You.. you're the ones who did this..." I said in my deepest, dramatic voice. "Mhm, and it's your time to join him." The leader of the team said as he loaded his gun and aimed it at me with a smile on his face. "Any last words?" He said. "Duck." I said, looking behind him. "Wha-?"

Pew!

I turned around and quickly shot the other green team member behind me and then turned back, facing Jaiden. "Nice!" I said and high fived her. "That was so cool!" She said, jumping up and down. "Not as cool as this." I said and shot her. "Oh okay." Jaiden said, disappointed. The lights turned back on and James got off of the floor from being dead and started laughing. "That was hilarious!" James said and put his hand on my shoulder. Jaiden walked towards the exit and went to Timothy and we followed behind her. "Hey, you know that thing you said when I died earlier..?" James said, blushing a little. "Yeah, what about it?" "Did you.. m-mean it?" I paused in my tracks. What should I say? I do like him.. but I know he wouldn't feel the same.. "No, silly!" I said and slapped him on the back. He just awkwardly laughed it off and so did I and we joined Jaiden and Timothy who were waiting for us at the door.

We got into the car, exhausted, and started driving home.

[Time skip]

[James POV]
We arrived home and I looked over and saw everyone asleep. Oh boy. "Jaiden." I whispered. My whisper worked successfully as Jaiden woke up. "Wake up Tim while I wake Adam up." I said and looked over to Adam who had his head back and his mouth wide open (this is how I sleep in a car, lmao). I can't wake him up, he looks so peaceful.. I'll just carry him, he's tiny enough. I got out of the car and went to the other side and opened the door. "Here we go.." I said and picked him up. He was a lot lighter than I expected him to be. "Nice." Jaiden said while helping Timothy out of the car. "I know right. Can you help me open the door?" "Sure." Jaiden replied and opened the door.

I walked up the stairs with Adam in my arms and set him down in his bed. "That doesn't really look comfortable.." I thought to myself as I sat down on his bed and it really wasn't. I guess I'll let him stay in my bed for now. I picked him up again and headed towards my room. I opened the door and walked over to my bed and set him down. I sighed and pulled the covers over him and.. kissed him on the forehead. "Why did I do that??" I thought to myself, "Oh well.." I walked out of my room and closed the door as silently as I could and headed downstairs.

[Adam's POV]
I woke up in James' arms and soon figured out that I had fell asleep in the car. I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the short amount of time I had in James' arms. I felt as if I were being put down in a bed then the covers on top of me. I sunk into the bed and slowly drifted off to sleep but suddenly, I felt a pair of lips on my forehead. I was shocked and froze for a hot minute. "Did he just.. kiss me?" I thought to myself as the tint of pink on my face grew into a dark red velvet color. I could feel my face getting hotter by the second and I heard the door shut silently. I sat up in awe and took off my glasses and sat them down at the nightstand next to me. I realise that I'm not in my room, but I'm in James' room. I lay back down, hoping that I don't set the bed on fire with the heat coming off of my face, and slowly fall into a deep sleep.
