"Yeah, well...you looked like you needed a hug." Evan said, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile...he didn't move though. Draping his arm over James's waist he gave the other guy a quick hug before his courage ran out and he rolled over onto his back. Leaving some space between them now Evan took a deep breath, calming himself. Now it was up to James, how would he react? "I'll always be here for a hug if you need one...and not just because we're stuck on a bus together..."

A short, quick rush ran up James's sides at Evan's hand on his waist. But he smiled, enjoying the comfort. It was different from cuddling with his little sister, though he wasn't really feeling down, just tired. But the hug was over too quickly and so was the warmth as Evan pulled away from him. He listened to Evan's words before he rolled over himself to face the other male occupying the bed with him. 

He ran his fingers through his hair to pull it out of his face so that he could see the other properly without hair getting in the way. He wasn't sure if Evan really wanted him to touch him or not, seeing as he had pulled away all too quickly from the hug. But he took a chance on this and pulled himself slightly closer to place a soft kiss on the other's cheek before he pulled back to a safe distance in case the other tried to hit him or something.

"Thank you." He replied, "I'm just tired... thats all." He as$ured him. 

((?......?.............................whhaaa?))

Evan laid still on the bed. He let out a short laugh almost to himself, when James kissed him. HJe had never expected things to  go liike that, hoped maybe but..... he didn't want to push it though and ruing everything. Sitting back against a few pillows Evan rummaged thorugh his pack pulling out a softly worn book.  Glancing over to James with a smile he let it fall open where it would. "Hey, you get some sleep OK?" he said softly, "Maybe you'll feel better after resting a little...I'll wake you up when we stop." Bringing his attention back to the story he ran his thumb over the words as he read. Absentmindedly he also kept a hand to his cheek. 

[[ I thought it was pretty :3 ]]

James was glad that Evan didn't try to hit him or anything. He wasn't sure what made him kiss Evan either, probably exhaustion. He didn't get any sleep last night after they had left the club. He blinked a few times, his eyes showed how tired he was as he looked down at the book.

He felt his consciousness slipping away slowing and closed his eyes, letting the steady movement of the tour bus lull him to sleep. Soon his raven colored hair slowly fell into his face, creating a fine veil of black. James' chest rose and fell steadily as he slept, his hair would blow away from his face slightly as each breath.

Erin wondered how the boys were doing and couldn't actually see because the door was closed. Hopefully nothing inappropriate. She giggled at the thought and at Evan's eagerness to be with James.

((EETZ SAAADDDDDDDDD :{  wanna do a time skip? ill post after you answer back. Ill wake up Evan and he can wake up James....what to do after that....I HAVE NO IDEA >.O!))

James stirred slightly when the bus hit the pothole, his body leaving the bed for about a fraction of a second. He half opened his eyes, but only half consciously , before closing them again and curling into the pillows some more. He was used to the bus moving and bumping around enough so that it didn't bother him as much as it used to and he could sleep through it now.

But as arms wrapped around him, his body automatically reacted by moving toward the source of warm that the embrace brought and he sighed quietly opening his eyes once more to the whispered words. At first he didn't think he'd heard them and didn't move other than the steady rise and fall of his sides as he breathed.

But thats when he realized that something was touching him, applying slight pressure to his abdomen. He blinked, everything that was going on came rushing to him quickly. And once he realized this, and remembered that he was now sharing a room with Evan, his stomach tightened. 

Butterflies formed in his stomach and threatened to beat their way out through his chest. Now that he was awake he allowed himself to relax and unwind under Evan's touch, killing the butterflies. "You move fast~" James whispered back, referring to the way that Evan was snuggling close to him, not hesitating. 

James chuckled softly at Evan's answer, he was very confident he seemed. To James at least. When Evan removed his grasp from his hips and started to get up, James rolled onto his back and looked up at Evan. One of his hands moved to rest on his stomach and the other up beside his head.

He looked up at Evan expectingly, wondering what that look on his face meant. He blinked, and in that time Evan had swooped down to collect James' lips with his own. At first James didn't respond out of sheer shock. He didn't think Evan was gay! He was slightly naive sometimes and didn't think of Evan's movements as anything other than being really friendly.

When he finally got over his shock he allowed his eyes to slid closed and the hand that was beside his head to come up and rest on Evan's neck, just below his ear. He kissed Evan back eagerly, his hand slightly messaging Evan's neck.

When Evan pulled back and backed off James continued to lay where he had been. Slightly dazed and panting softly from Evan's little test. After a few seconds he opened his eyes and looked over at Evan. 

He couldn't understand what Evan wanted by his actions. Especially since he was only figuring out that Evan was gay by getting an unexpected kiss from him. Did he want to be just roommates? Did he want to be more? Or was he just playing around? James had been hurt in past relationships and wasn't too keen on that happening again.

He was confused, and maybe a little hurt. "You can't... play with me, Evan." He said softly into the quiet of the room with a slight frown on his face. 

((hope ya get better :3 my tiny posts feel so inadequite next to your large ones :P))

Evan closed his eyes. He had never been in this deep before, this much at stake. He could tell that James was confused, he didn't really have an answer for anything he could ask. He had just acted. "I would never play games with you James." He sighed, opening his eyes and rolling his head so he could look at the other. God he looked so good...Evan didn't know what he would do if he got rejected. He already reconized that he had fallen in love with James, he didn't know when or how but he had definately fallen hard. Now all that was left to do was ride out the consequences and see if James actually loved him back. But that was too much to spring on a guy all at once. As the bus rolled to a stop and the doors popped open for the first pit stop of the night, Evan settled for "Would you go out with me?"

James didn't feel like he was sitting there beside Evan at all. He felt detached from himself, like he was standing back and just watching. Waiting for Evan to say something. He hoped that Evan wasn't playing around, he didn't think that he could handle that. He'd grown fond of Evan over the past few days and didn't want anything to come between them. Especially this sort of thing.

He watched Evan's movements, actually trying to read them and understand what he was thinking. What he was going to say. What he did say made James release the breath that he didn't realize that he had been holding quietly. Maybe that was the reason he felt a little lightheaded and detached? He allowed a small smile curl the edges of his lips. He didn't like games anyway...

All of this, and James never would have expected to be asked a question like: "Would you go out with me" He'd never... actually been asked that before and his eyes widened slightly in surprise as that realization caught on.  In the past he and the other person would just... be together more often and as sum that they were dating. He'd never actually been asked hat specific question before. 

James rolled over onto his side, blue eyes focused on Evan. He could hear the chatter of the girls on the other side of the door as they got off but it sounded very far away to him. What, with all of his concentration on here, this side of the door. "Yes." James responded simply, "I'd like that..." He told the other quietly. Some of his hair fell into his face again and he moved to pull it away. 

[[ Thank you ^^ I hope I get better too <3
