*Herc pov*
"Why are you so stupid?!" My brother James said. I stepped back in surprise, "J-James.." I started. He cut me off, "No. Listen to me. Oh wait. You can't!" He started yelling at me more. Tears filled my eyes, "Oh stop being dramatic! Why are you always so dramatic?! I thought you could control it!" He yelled louder. Tears fell down my face and I ran out of the room, "M-maybe he's right..." I mumbled and started walking to the park. When I got there I saw Laff, my best friend. He saw me and waved, I waved back, "Bonjour Herc!" He said happily. I walked over to him, "H-hey Laff.." I mumbled, but loud enough for him to hear. He looked at me like he had to kill someone, "Who hurt you? ai-je besoin de tuer quelqu'un?!" (A/n look it up.) He said angrily while walking towards me, "D- uh.." I stuttered. His eyes widened, "Oh uh..sorry. Never mind." He laughed awkwardly, "But are you okay?" He asked and continued walking to me. I shook my head, "J-James was being a jerk earlier.." I told him. He said something in French but i didn't know what. He sighed and hugged me. I was..surprised but i hugged back, "What did he yell at you about this time..?" Laff asked as he pulled away. I sighed, "M-my adhd.." I said quietly. He breathed in slowly, "oh donc c'est ce qu'il va faire?! Juste vous crier après une dissipation mentale?! ok je le tue maintenant!!" (A/n look it up!!) He yelled in French again. I stood there as he started yelling in French. He eventually calmed down and sighed, "When is the murder happening?" He asked calmly. I blinked in surprise at the question, "No! We are not killing James! He's my brother and i love him. Even though he can be a jerk.." I crossed my arms. Laff hugged me again, "Its just I love you Herc. I don't want anyone hurting you." He told me. I blushed and contemplated what he just said. Sure he could've said that as a friend, but it didn't sound like it. He broke the hug and sighed, "Can i at least yell at James?" He asked. I laughed slightly, "Sure.." He smiled and we started walking back to my house. We talked for a little bit but i didn't live far away. When we got to my house Laff walked in first and saw James. And before I new it Laff was speaking, no, More like yelling at James in French. I chuckled at the look on James' face. He knew how protective Laff was but he continued to yell at me about my issues. Laff calmed down and sighed then he said one more thing in French and walked back over to me, "C'mon Herc. Let's go." He said angrily. I nodded and followed him. I looked back at James and he was breathing heavily. Of course he was.. I looked away and continued following Laff. Once we were back at the park I sighed, "Thanks.." I said rubbing my neck. He smiled, "You're welcome!" He sat down on a bench. I sat down next to him and he mumbled something, "Je'taime Herc.." He said to himself. That might be the only word that I know in French, "I..love You too.." I mumbled. I may or may not have had a crush on Laff for the longest time.. Saying that made me look down and laugh at my self. quietly.
(A/n warning. You are about to go into cliche territory. Continue if you don't care)
Then, he did something...unexpected. He turned my head towards his and KISSED ME! I blushed but kissed back. Once he pulled away, we stared into each others eyes for a moment. He finally spoke up saying, "I've..wanted to do that for awhile..." He chuckled awkwardly. I smiled, "I..have too.." I said. He smiled back and I leaned on his shoulder as we watched the sun set.

Note: I just want you to know that this is not how i see James AT ALL. It was just a random idea that popped in my head. Hope you liked it!
