James had been able to avoid Kai for two weeks, it was going good until he found himself pinned against a brick wall outside his school. Kai had both hands on the wall besides James's head and he was staring down at James with an intense look in his eyes like he was about to punch James but also kiss the living shit out of James at the same time and it turned James on but also scared the shit out of him. "I asked you a question James, why are you avoiding me?". Kai asked as he grabs James's wrists and pins them to the wall making sure he can't go anywhere. "I just needed some space from everyone, it didn't have anything to do with you Kai. I swear but i just needed some time to myself to think things over and figure out what i wanted". Now that was a lie but it wasn't fully a lie and James couldn't tell him the full truth about why he was avoiding him because if i told him the truth then he'd kill him for sure and he didn't want to die, he was way to young to die right now. "I can tell your lying to me, is it because we kissed James?". Kai's face softened a little and he let go of my wrists and James looks up at Kai with a small smile before he takes in a deep breath and shakes his head. "Fuck it". James pulls Kai into a kiss and runs his hands through Kai's hair gently. Kai gasped shocked for a second before he kisses James back deeply and pushes him against the wall more, running his hands down James's back. "What's this for?". Kai asks softly as he pulls back from the kiss and smiles softly at James. "I just wanted to stop being scared of what i can't control, i know we don't know each other that well but i'd like to get to know you". James says softly before he hears someone calling Kai's name and he sighs softly since that person ruined their moment but he smiles anyway. "I want to get to know you too but i have to go so come over my house anytime". Kai said and rushed off over to his parents, James smiles softly before he heads home. Yeah he was still not sure if he could trust Kai or his parents but he knew he shouldn't judge them without getting to know any of them first. Once James gets home and takes his shoes and jacket off, he goes over to his sister and kisses her forehead softly and sweetly and then walks into the kitchen before he washes his hands and then starts helping his mom cook dinner. "How was school today honey?". Ana asked softly as she cuts up some mushrooms and beef, she had this warm smile on her face which meant she had somewhat of a good day today and that made James happy because she deserved it more than anyone else he knows. "School was good, how was work today? You seem happier than usual after coming home from work so did everything work out today?". James asks as he puts the beef in the pan to cook and looks at his mom with a smile on his face. "Work was good today, we got off early and everyone was less annoying and more into doing their work like i asked so today was a good day. I'm also very glad you had a good day at school sweetie, did you make any new friends or do you have a crush on anyone?". James blushes and hums softly and checks the beef to make sure he's not over cooking it. "I do have a crush on someone, his name is Kai and he's our next door neighbor but i don't know if it'll work out". Ana looked at her son before she shook her head and starts stuffing peppers and then puts them in the oven to cook and gets started on making the pasta. "Why are you so hard on yourself sweetie? I bet it's going to work out because when two people really and truly care about each other then they find a way to make things work. Love isn't what me and your father had, that was toxic and i want better for you honey so don't rush into anything before you know him fully. Just ease into things slowly, get to know each other and see what he's like when things aren't good because that shows you who he really is". James looks at his mom and hums softly. "I will mom, don't worry i won't date him or at least continue to date him if he's not a good guy to me or my family or to anyone i care about". Ana smiles softly and looks at James before she drains the pasta and puts it into a bowl and then puts garlic and olive oil in the pasta, mixing it around before she puts the mushrooms into the pasta. "You go take a shower and then come down for dinner sweetie". James nods slowly before he runs upstairs and into his bathroom before he shuts the bathroom door and then takes a quick shower, after his shower he walks out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and gets dressed before he looks up and sees Kai through the window of his bedroom and smiles softly when he sees him reading before he walks back downstairs. Walking into the dining room before he sits down and smiles softly at his mom and sister, once they were done eating James washes the dishes as his mom and sister go upstairs and get ready for bed. He hears a sound at the kitchen window and he looks up to see Kai standing there smiling softly at James, James smiles softly before he opens the window and hums softly. "What are you doing here Kai?". Kai hummed softly and moves closer to the window since it was open before he grabs James's hands gently. "Come with me, i want to show you something. Please? We'll only be gone for a couple of minutes or maybe a few hours if you want". Kai said softly before he gives James his charming smile making James groan before he dries his hands and walks out the back door. Kai grins before he walks over to James and grabs his hand before he walks to his secret spot and sits down near a waterfall pulling James down with him. "What's this place? It's stunning Kai". James said as he looked around the area and hums softly, taking in all the beauty that this place held. He couldn't believe a place this stunning was in a neighborhood as boring and ugly as the one they lived in. "I found it while i was wondering the area and thinking about why you were avoiding me. I thought something was wrong with me since you kept walking away every time i came close and it started to make me feel like something was wrong with me". James looks at Kai sadly and grabs his hands gently as he sighs softly. "I'm so so sorry Kai, i never meant to make you feel like that but i just needed to think and being around you feels so right and good, i just needed to think if i was ready for these feelings and ready to tell you and just ready for this all which i now know i am but i'm so sorry for making you feel that way". Kai looks at James and titles his chin up before he kisses him softly and sweetly and then pulls away from the kiss. "It's okay James, i understand needing to just think about what you want in life and what you need in life. Just next time at least just send me a text saying you need some time to yourself, i'm just someone who tries to find everything i did wrong when people do stuff like ignoring me or avoiding me without a reason to why". James nodded slowly and smiles softly and sweetly before he cups Kai's face gently and kisses him softly and sweetly. "I promise next time i'll tell you, it's getting late and i should go home before it gets too late". Kai checks the time before he nods slowly and picks James up, walking James back home and puts him down once they get to the back door of James's house. "I'll see you later Kai". Kai smiles softly and kisses James cheek gently. "See you later cutie". Kai then walks away leaving James standing there smiling happily before he walks back into his home and shuts and locks the back door, humming softly as he runs upstairs and walks to his bedroom before he gets stopped by a hand on his arm and he turns around to see his sister smiling softly. "If Kai hurts you, i will kill him James". Naya then walk into her room and shuts the door, James smiles softly and walks into his room and then gets ready for bed before he lays down on his bed and he smiles brightly and happily before he goes to bed, knowing that tomorrow will be better then today and maybe just maybe Kai and his family wasn't as bad as he thought. He just hoped he was right and Kai and his family were good people but something still didn't feel right with Kai and his family but he couldn't understand what it was but he'd soon find out, he always did when it came to these things which was a blessing and cruse at the same time.
