I cannot draw kissing to save my life, so I’m glad the only piece I’ve done of it that I’m happy with is at-least my account’s name-sake.

James POV

________

To think, I’ve moved all the way to New York, and am now providing the music for a broadway show with my friends! It was hard at first, leaving my old band behind and coming all the way here with only Riley. But, even if her and I have split up then, we’re all still friends and I’m really making a name for myself here.

Everyday now I get to play several different instruments (and actually sing a bit too occasionally) for the dances that Richelle and our team perform on stage. With Cleo, the other musicians, and most importantly, Noah, by my side.

Even now, with Step Inside being pulled from the theatre until next year, our group is practicing a performance for a fundraiser that Amy’s college is running for the Trevor Project.

I tap on my drums a little as Noah fixes his microphone, the blue, purple and hot-pink sticker contrasting greatly with the black wrapping around all the instrument. I smile as I see a similar flag around Noah’s shoulders, though the blue is much lighter and the purple has been swapped instead for white.

He looks my way and I stick out my tongue, making him playfully roll his eyes. Fuck, he is so cute.

Even when we’re actually playing the song, a few hours later, with a huge crowd screaming the lyrics of the song, all I can focus on is the soft tone of Noah’s voice and the beauty of the neon lights bouncing off his smooth, carefree skin.

It’s incredible, not only the turnout, but just seeing him be so happy like this. Coming to New York was one of the best things for him, in my opinion. I would perform a thousand songs if it meant just seeing him like this.

After it all, I clasp my hand in his, as we join the rest of the singers and dancers in a line to bow. He feels so sweaty, but warm, and I don’t pull away, even when everybody else has let go. They all just pay attention to the crowd clapping to us, but I see him look over to me.

The two of us lock eyes. It’s like a painting, seeing the colours mix with the forest-green shade of his eyes. His teeth are pure and white, shining as he smiles at me in confusion.

Well, this is it. I’ve been waiting awhile to do this, and I don’t think there will be a better time then this.

Following my heart, I wrap my hands around in waist and pull him in, kissing his sweet, soft lips. A startled gasp brushes me, and I instantly pull away.

Shit! Fuck! Why did I do that?! I thought he might feel the same, but I shouldn’t have been so hopeful. Things like this-

Now it is my turn to be surprised, as he brings his arms around my neck and brings me down to kiss him again. My heart can’t help but skip a beat as our mouth move together. Fuck! Okay, it will sounds so fucking soppy, but the energy around us makes it feel as if fireworks are cracking behind us.

Noah…he’s just so gentle, pouring every bit of emotion into this kiss, that it makes me feel like I’m 16 again instead of 23. I bite my lip as we pull apart, trailing his cheek with my thumb.

Along with the already cheering crowd, I can now see our friends screaming for us, Piper jumping up and down and clapping, and Richelle making kissy faces at Noah.

My arms never leave him, keeping his chest to mine, and when I look at his gorgeous, beaming face, I kiss him all over again. There is nothing I would leave this moment right here for.
