Should've James seen it coming? Yes, most definitely. I mean come on, the man was head over heels for the Blonde.
Actually no, head over heels is an understatement. They were gone for him. G-O-N-E. James just seemed to fall harder every single second of the day.
Like yes I know we can't blame him, like have you seen Evan? He is the definition of an overgrown golden retriever.
...
It had first started after a small encounter the two had. It wasn't like a huge encounter, rather it was pretty tame and in front of everyone.
It was a sunny day out, and the air reaked of gunfire. For context, they were practicing their aim.
James was given the responsibility of his teammates, as their leader was currently attending a meeting.
It was going pretty well to say the least. Every single one of them were dang near perfect. Except Evan. Evan for reason stood out of the team to him. Maybe because he happened to know the man better or maybe it was because of his shinning smile.
Shit. Okay since when was mood change such a turn on for him? And how did Evan look so hot doing it? This should be illegal.
As you can tell, it was now Evan's turn.
James couldn't help but notice the way Evan's veins popped out. How his gorgeous soft neck tensed up. Imagine just how fun it would be to cover that tight neck with hickeys. The focus Evan had. His baby blue eyes losing their glimmer. The fierce aura that just oozed out of him. They just wondered what else would make Evan focus so much.
... Okay maybe James might just end up suffocating, if it wasn't for the cheers that rang out. He had 9 straight bullseyes.
Right James has decided. This is the day he dies, but just then he almost doesn't want to die when Evan looks at him with so much excitement and they couldn't help but look back with a matching sense of adoration.
"How did I do sir?"
How the fuck is James's supposed to survive this.
"God damn Buckley. Gotta say I am impressed." Someone that wasn't him answered.
Ahaha Malcolm was back. This was going to be fun.
"Now everyone go change and come back here in 20 mins.NO LATE COMERS" Malcolm yelled as the group started to leave.
"Now mind telling me what that was about? " He asked.
"There's nothing to tell Mal"
"Bull. Come on just admit it James. There is literally no fooling us."
"Us?"
Just then he realized what "us" meant. His friends. The people that just loved to torture him.
"Yeah. So what's up? You in love with Buckley?"
"NO! "
"Jeez loud ass. Though seriously? We can all see the love eyes you give him."
"Even if I did have any interest in him, we are a team Mal. You know it would be too dangerous."
"I know, but aren't you planning on finishing up after another year?"
...
So yeah that's how he found himself in front of his boss. Talking about his love for Evan.
...
On another day he fell even harder. It had already been a good year since the last year and no James decided to renew his contract with the S.E.A.L.S
He also got permission from the higher ups to ask the man out. If he was rejected either James or Evan would be reassigned to another team, that's the decision the HQ had come up with.
So now, he, James Carter, the man that bowed to no one, the man that almost everyone feared, was about to ask his year long crush out like it was some sort of high school movie.
Standing in front of him was a very confused Evan, however.
Okay maybe shoving a bouquet of roses into his face was a bad idea. More like a stupid one but still you get their point.
"Uh- thank you? "
Well technically he didn't reject him.
"Go out with me"
WHY DID THEY JUST BLURT THAT OUT?! God Evan deserved so much better.
"You are- are you asking me out? "
"Yes"
"Okay"
"I already talked with HQ, so if you are uncomfortable I can re-... Wait did you just say okay? As in okay to going out with me?"
Okay this was not the answer he excepted.
"You asked me out didn't you?"
"Y-yes"
Was he seriously stuttering right now? Why is he so nervous? It's just Evan! Evan the guy he helped. Evan the guy he wanted to nail down so fucking bad. Evan the guy he had a year long (maybe even longer) crush. Okay yeah no if he didn't start talking now they will make an utter fool out of themselves. Then actually get rejected.
"So yes. I would love to go out with you, James. I was actually planning on asking you out, but then I had to go to HQ and they just laughed and told me to wait for a few more days? I guess I understand what they mean by that now." The taller man said, letting a chuckle escape.
Okay hold up. Is the universe playing some sort of stupid joke on them? The man he loved so very much, likes him back and is saying yes to going out with him. Okay he seriously needed to say or do something.
"Great. Can I kiss you now?"
When they said they had to say something, they isn't mean ask him if he could kiss the guy. Great. Evan was going to now think he is some sort of pervert, and hate him forever.
However, before James could take back his words, they felt soft lips on his.
Evan was kissing him. Evan. Evan was kissing them. Right so this is where they pass out and fly to heaven... or hell.
"I will come pick you up in around 3 hours? Nothing fancy."
Please say yes.
"Yeah. That works out." Evan smiled.
