"I dunno... I guess I've just been feeling really lonely lately. Like maybe I'll never find love?... And somehow I've managed to push everyone I care about away from me." James and I are sitting on my couch as I tell him how I've been feeling lately. Usually, this is hard but for some reason, James makes it easier. I suppose I just feel comfortable around him. James places a hand on my shoulder to comfort me. "Well I'm still here, and I don't plan on leaving." I smile weakly, "Thanks, Jameson." I wrap my arms around him and pull him towards me. James' hugs have always been the best. He's just a good hugger. "What if..." James pulls away from me, "...what if I was your wingman?" I chuckle and roll my eyes, "I don't think that'd work." James looks me in the eyes, "No Adam, I'm serious." I contemplate. "It'd be so fun! Please, Adam?? Pleaseee?" I giggle. He's so cute when he does that face... "Alright sure, I don't see why not." James launches himself back at me pulling me into another loving hug. "You won't regret this Adam! I'll find you the love of your life!"

I'm sitting on my couch, browsing Twitter. James said he was gonna come over for 'important wingman duties.' As I'm scrolling, I get a message from James. "Here." I get up and open the door as I see him walking towards the door. "Hey, Adam!" I look James up and down. He's wearing an aviator jacket, some jeans and fancy sunglasses on his head. "What're you wearing?" James pushes past me, inviting himself into my house. "My wingman costume of course. Gotta get into character!" James turns around and winks at me. "Wh- Alright, I won't argue I guess." James nods and places a backpack I didn't notice he had on the floor. He bends down and grabs out a notebook. "Alright, I need you to tell me what you want in a partner." I walk over and sit down on my couch. "Um... Hm... I dunno. I haven't really thought of that." James nods and hums, "Alright, you can just answer these yes or no questions please. We'll start basic then get more specific." James prepares a pen and without looking at me asks his questions.
"Nice?"
"Duh."
"Good looking?"
"I suppose. That'd just be a bonus I guess."
"Good fashion sense?"
"Not essential."
"Do you wanna already know them?"
"I don't really mind."
"Similar interests? Like, random examples, drawing, Youtube animator or My Hero Academia?"
"Uh... Weirdly specific, but yeah, that'd be cool..."
"Sandy blonde hair?"
"What?"
"Brown eyes?"
"Why would that-"
"First name James last name Rallison?"
My face heats up as I realise what James is doing. "I- uh- w-well, ye-" James chuckles and looks up, "Calm down Adam, it's just a joke!" I look at him bewildered. "O-oh yeah of course..." James closes his notebook. "Do you mind if I stay the night? I'm really bored at home." I nod, still confused as to what just happened.

I excuse my self and head to the bathroom. Why can I feel my face boiling?? This is so weird. Do I have a fever? Coronavirus?? I splash some cold water on my face and look at myself in the mirror. "Get a grip, Adam..." After taking a deep breath I head back out to where James is. "Oh, there you are Adam! I was just making your Tinder profile!" "Tinder? What??" I speed over and glance at James' laptop. He's entered my favourite anime, drink and even burrito toppings and a bunch of other random facts about me correctly. "How did you get all this stuff right??" James chuckles and continues typing. "I know a lot about you Adam." I raise my hand, intending to say something but nothing comes out. "Okay, all done. Let's leave that and get ready for bed."

I make James and I a hot chocolate each and I think about the sleeping arrangements. "You can sleep on the couch if you want but that's probably not comfortable..." James starts walking down the hall. "Well I could just sleep with you." He stops at my door. "Is that alright?" I nod quickly, hoping he'll walk into my room and not see my red face. What is wrong with me today??

After changing I head into my room where James is already comfortable in bed. "Hm. I dunno why but I thought you'd be the kind of person who sleeps without a shirt." I stare at him confused, my face growing red all over again. "Wh- i-is that something you just think about??" James chuckles. "I suppose. Didn't you draw your character without a shirt in a video? Like, in the morning?" "Are we really talking about this?" James nods and I sigh. "Yes, I do usually sleep without a shirt." "Then why aren't you now?" I slide under the covers, turning the other way, trying to hide my glowing face from James. "Cause you're here. Can we stop talking about what I do and don't sleep in?" James chuckles and hums. I look over to him and see him snuggled into the sheets, eyes already shut. I sigh wistfully as I lie down, "He's so cute..." "Thanks." James replies, his eyes still closed. "Wh- did I- were you- Ah, I'm so sorry!" James rolls over to face me. "It's alright. I'm flattered in fact..." Slowly, James shuffles towards me, until his head is buried into my pyjama shirt. I'm frozen for a moment. What should I do?? I decide to carefully wrap an arm around James. Once I do I see a slight smile spread across James' face. What is happening right now?? It takes awhile but eventually I relax and start to enjoy this whole situation. After awhile I can feel myself drifting to sleep.
