merry christmas

“And a happy new year.” Jaime smiled as he pointed to the camera, keeping a careful hold of the drink in his other hand. He then turned to look at the overly accessorised Vic,chuckling softly to himself as he leaned forward, Vic doing the same. He slid his eyes shut, inching his lips closer to his older friend. He heard a loud “CUT” being called out, meaning that they had finished their recording. Jaime ignored it though. He moved faster, pressing his lips quickly against Vic’s soft ones, sending a warm tingling sensation throughout his body. He felt Vic tense and pulled back, his cheeks red. He mouthed him a quick ‘sorry’, looking into Vic’s surprised eyes. The whole room had gone silent by now, but Jaime didn’t seem to care. He had gotten his kiss.
“SO! Who’s up for some eggnog?” He said cheerily, turning away from Vic and holding up his small glass. Some of the other’s seem to have relaxed and were talking again. Mike walked over, a grin on his face.

“Getcha some, hime-time!” He laughed, making Jaime roll his eyes as Mike walked past him, probably going to check on Vic.

Jaime really wanted to turn around and see how Vic felt about all of this. Maybe he should have just not have done what he did? Like they had all planned it out? Jaime shut his eyes, taking a deep breath in, and then slowly letting it out. He turned around to face Vic, wanting to apologise yet again, but both him and Mike were gone. He looked around a little, a small frown on his face. He spotted them walking off to the concessions table, Mike holding the dog now as Vic rubbed the back of his head. Jaime groaned softly and looked around again. He quickly spotted Tony and walked over to him.

“Ah, hey Tony. How do you think the video went?” He asked softly. Tony glanced up at Jaime with a curious smile. “Well, I guess it went pretty well, you know, due to the fact that you just kissed a close friend.” He laughed softly and raised an eyebrow. “Why’d you do that, Jaime? I mean, I know your gay, but for Vic?” He asked. Jaime sighed softly. He glanced down at this drink and set it on a nearby table, running a hand through his hair. “I...I don’t really know why I did that. I just did. Like, it felt right. Do you think he’s mad at me?” Jaime ask Tony, who just shrugged. Tony leaned to the side, glancing over Jaime’s shoulder to get a good look at Vic. He was sitting down with Mike, eyebrows furrowed together as they chatted. Vic glanced up at Tony, making him look away quickly.

Jaime glanced up at Tony when his hand waved in front of his face. “Jaimmmee? Hellooooo, anyone there?” Tony teased, pouting his bottom lip out. Jaime laughed, pushing his hand out of his face. “Dude, stop that. What’s Vic doing? Does he look mad?” Jaime asked, worry filling his voice. He felt his heart start to pound in his chest the more he thought about it. Tony shrugged lightly, crossing his arms. “He seems, thoughtful? More confused still, than anything.” He said, stealing another quick glance behind Jaime’s shoulder.

Jaime sighed softly, shutting his eyes as he rubbed the back of his neck.”Maybe I shouldn’t have done that? He’s probably never gonna talk to me again. I mean, ever since we found out about Fuenciado we’ve always done little things here and there to tease the fans, plus it was kind of fun! I dunno, I guess it all started getting to me. The way it seems he looks at me, how we’re always holding hands, how he hugs me all the time. The way he acts when he’s drunk...I dunno. It feels nice. Like having a crush who actually pays attention to you kind of nice. So I saw my opportunity to see if it was true or not and I took it...but he didn’t react at all how I had hoped. What if I screwed up? What if this ruins the band? Or more than likely, he’ll just kick me out. We’re too far in to just scrap the whole band because I did some dumb ass thing and-”

Tony busted out laughing, holding his stomach and kneeling over a bit. “Dude! you should hear yourself! You’re a panicked teenage girl! Jesus Christ…” He laughed out, resting his hands on his knees so he could calm his breathing. Jaime felt the heat rush to his cheeks, a blush creeping onto his face. “Tony this isn’t funny! This is serious!” He snapped, feeling defensive and a bit embarrassed. Tony just chuckled, rubbing his chest as he looked up at Jaime.

“He’s not going to kick you out or break up the band because of a small kiss. Have you seen JAck and Alex? All those two seem to do is kiss and be all up on each other.” He pointed out. And remember that one time when Austin and Alan kissed? They’re doing better than ever! Stop worrying so much.”

But yet he still did. How couldn’t he? He had put the two things that meant the most to him at stake, the band and Vic’s friendship. Jaime just sighed and turned to look at Vic and Mike, who were laughing now. He didn’t seem mad, so maybe Tony was right? Maybe he was just overreacting. Tony walked up next to Jaime, slinging an arm around his shoulders and smiling. “See? He’s laughing, Mike’s laughing, we’re all laughing.” Jaime chuckled softly at that, glancing back up at Vic. “Don’t worry, Hime Time. Everything’s fine. Alright? Now come on, we have some celebrating to do.” He said, unwrapping his arm from around Jaime’s shoulders and patting his back, keeping his hand there as he pulled Jaime with him over to Mike and Vic.
