Scarves and Snow (A Jamon Fanfic)

Scarves and Smiles

James and Ramon go out over Christmas break. Ramon's cheeks are red because of the cold or possibly something else...

(For all my unwrapped fans out there! You know who you are. Happy valentines day Y'all!)

"Jaaames! I still don't get why you dragged me all the way out here on Christmas eve!" Whined Ramon as they walked around the snow covered park path.

"Because, I needed your expert advice on some things." Said James, bumping the shorter man with his elbow.

"I can't help you if I don't know what it is James." He said adjusting his coat and glaring up at his companion "And for the record, I do not appreciate being dragged out of my house on such a short notice to go who knows where while I could be sitting on my couch drinking hot cocoa and working on my spring collection."

All he got from James was a laugh. He then shoved his hands in his coat pockets and upturned his head.

"Come on Ramon," Said James nudging his shoulder, a small smile spread out on his features"I thought you would love the excuse to see me!"

"I do, but not during this weather!" Replied Ramon " The snow ruins my hair."

"It does not." Chuckled James, putting his hand on his companions hair to dust off some snowflakes.

Ramon couldn't help but notice how soft and gentle James' hands were for an athlete.

"I wonder how they would feel on my neck or cheek". He turned red at the thought just as James removed his hand.

"See, its not so bad." He said.

"Ugh, please" huffed Ramon "I probably look terrible right now."

A hand on his shoulder stopped him from walking any further. He turned around and saw James looking at him straight in the eyes.

"You look like an angel Ramon."

He turned redder at those words, the young boy immediately turned back around and proceeded to walk. The other falling in step beside him nothing but the sound of their breathing and the crunching of the snow beneath their boots could be heard.

After a while they finally got to a park bench, James brushed off the snow that was covering it he then took a seat. Ramon followed in suit, the silence resumed once more.

"You still haven't told me what I'm here for." Ramon said, breaking the silence.

"I need your opinion on a scarf." Replied James "It's for someone special."

A look of hurt crossed Ramon's features but he quickly covered it up with a grin. Because that's just how Ramon works, put on a show or die trying.

"May I see this oh so special scarf of yours then?" He asked, hand outstretched.

James reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a thin scarf in a gorgeous red color.

"You see Ramon" He said showing his friend "I didn't know if my special person was going to like it so I need you to take a look."

"Its a gorgeous red color for starters" replied the shorter man, taking the price of cloth in his hands to expertly examine."A bit thin for this weather. Though it could be worn as a hair accessory or whatnot. It all depends on the personality honestly."

"Okay then" smiled James "Ask me about my special person."

Knowing James wasn't going to stop pestering him about it Ramon just went with it and asked "Is this special someone of yours kind?"

"Extremely kind" he replied

"Beautiful?"

"Like an angel on earth"

"Into sports?"

"Nope" said James shaking his head "In fact he's into visual arts, design to be specific."

At this Ramon turned around to face his companion who in turn wrapped the scarf around Ramon's neck.

"Perfect."he said.

Ramon's cheeks turned as red as the scarf at his words. Not knowing what to do he did what Ramon Roberto Alfredo does when he's flustered. He got up and left.

He could hear James calling out his name as he left he didn't turn around, he was scared.

Scared of loving, feeling and being hurt again.

Caught up in his thoughts, Ramon didn't see the stone in his path which he of course tripped on.

Before he could hit the ground and break his glasses, Ramon felt a pair of strong arms around his waist and a strange sense of deja vu in his mind.

"You have got to stop falling for me Ramon, it's getting dangerous." Said James, helping him stand.

"Its a little to late to stop me now James." Smiled Ramon,looking down.

"Please don't run or turn invisible." Said the taller boy griping the smaller boys hand "Because I meant what I said earlier."

"Your beautiful" He kissed Ramon's knuckles.

"Kind" he kissed his forehead.

"Talented" his cheek.

"And I love you Ramon." He said cupping his cheek "I would never hurt you."

He brought his face closer to Ramon's unsure what to do he just closed is eyes. James bent down and slowly moved his lips to Ramon's.

Ramon had been kissed before but not like this. It seemed that James was cautious and gentle.

Ramon moved so much closer that he wrapped his arms around James.

He then pulled back smiling.

"Does this mean we're dating now?" Ramon asked.

"I guess it does." James replied taking Ramon's hand"I meant what I said earlier,about not hurting you."

Ramon just smiled and leaned his head on James' shoulder.

"I know."
