Axel POV-
"Echo, are you sure about this?" I ask.
"Yeah! The ball will be fun, now stand still so I can measure you to make a suit," Echo replys. Echo wraps measuring tape around my waist then measured my body length.
"What color would you like your suit Ax?" Echo asks.
"Navy blue," I mutter out.
"Alright, I am going to work on your's and Bradley's in time for the ball,"
"K,"
I decided to sit in Echo's shop with him, Bradley did as well.

1 day later the day of the ball
Axel POV
My suit feels kinda tight, Echo made it a tiny bit small. I go sit down at a table, James didn't show up. Bradley and Echo are dancing, and they already seem drunk even though we just arrived. I sigh as I am sitting alone at a table.
"Hey darling~" I hear a voice say. He sounded...familiar. I look up to see the last person I wanted to..Dave. My ex, he abused me, but James told him to back off. Dave was the reason I met my three best friends.
"The hell you doing here Dave..." I mutter as I look over to Bradley and Echo.
"Ah, you didn't miss me sweetie?"
"Hell no, you abused me,"
I feel his hand around my arm and he drags me over to him. He puts his hand on my waist then replys,
"It was fun babe, and I will do it again,"
"Let me fucking go Dave!"
I see Dave get dragged back and was spun around.
"He said to fucking let go Dave," James says giving him a death glare.
"I- uh-"
"Ah, still a coward to me aye?"
Dave let's go from James grip and runs off. James smiles at me, he has a dark red tuxedo on. It has a bi pin on it as well.
"Thanks James,"
"No problem babe,"
"Sorry I was late...I needed to get my tuxedo," he says laughing.
James runs over to me and grabs my arm. He drags me to the dance floor and dances with me. We both have no clue how to dance, so we kept tripping over eachother. But it made it even more fun. He had a couple of drinks, I had one. I don't like drinking that much. James grabs my hips and leans in to a kiss. I am shocked, he wanted to keep our relationship private, but he kissed me at a ball. I ignore that thought, and returned it.
"Isn't Corbin here...?" I ask.
"He would find out sooner or later babe," James says back.
"Oooooooo" we hear across the room. It was Bradley and Echo, they were the only ones that knew about our relationship. I give them a 'shut the fuck up' look. Soon, the ball ended, James, Echo, and Bradley were drunk as hell. I was a little drunk, not much so I didn't want to risk driving home. We sat outside, I wanted to wait till my 'buzz' wore off. I was exhausted, I didn't sleep much last night + I danced most of the night with James. I ended up falling asleep by accident, I didn't realize it though. I woke up in a bedroom, not my bedroom though with James next to me. I am hit with the realization that I was in Corbin's guest room. Why am I here though...? I get out the bed, hoping I won't wake James up, and I go into the kitchen.
"Hello sleep head," Corbin says laughing with Bradley sitting next to him.
"Why the hell am I at your house Cor..." I mutter.
"Language...." Bradley mutters.
"I saw you four asleep outside so I brought yall home, I was kinda shocked when I saw James kiss you to be honest-"
My face goes red when he says that.
"I- uh-"
"It's fine, I still consider you as a son either way,"
I groan a bit and Bradley laughs.
"They have been dating for a year or two, they just told us and that's it," Bradley says.
"We wanted it to be a secret-" I reply laughing a bit.
Soon later Echo and James came out.
"I missed you Axel~" James says whining.
"Really-" I reply giving him a look.
Corbin laughs and goes back to talking with Bradley.

The end
