word count: 1442 words

summary: you like james. he likes you. you are both oblivious idiots in love.

request: james marriott fic where he and reader are friends but she really like him and on a night out he kisses some random girl. Reader sees and gets sad but when he realizes she's sad cause he kissed another girl he confesses to her.

James Marriott is a man that many would call 'Angelic. You would say the same to be fair, but could never admit it out loud.

That was the main problem that you faced with James, no matter how close the two of you got, you could never be fully honest with him, because being completely honest with him would mean telling him your love for him. You would rather die with not knowing if he feels the same than risk losing him forever.

You met James on a night out in Brighton. You went to a pub with friends for a good night out and saw him, up on stage, playing a gig to a crowd with a large number of people with dyed hair. Lot's of people with blue hair jumping and singing their hearts out to this man with a guitar.

As his set ended and he came off stage, he went to the bar to order, sitting right next to you. After almost spilling your margarita all over the front of his pants, the two of you hit it off straight away. You have been inseparable since then.

But with proximity comes problems.

You see, spending more and more time with James has many benefits, as he is probably the most amazing man that has ever walked the earth. It does, however, come with a ridiculously large crush that could rival one of a teenage girls.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the annual Sidemen Christmas party, where drinks are flowing and conversations are blooming across Bez's house. You had been invited as a plus one, the invite obviously coming from James. You don't know how he had been invited but assumed it was through the help of Will.

As you enter the house, thick coat wrapped tightly around your shivering body, you scan the open planned house in search for the man of the hour.

Your eyes sweep the crowd, finally landing on him. A bright light that moves through the crowd lands on James at just the right moment, mid laugh and wearing the gorgeous jumper of his. You weave your way through the crowd, sorry's leaving your mouth as you accidently bump into people.

Just before you reach him, a voice pulls you out of your focus, eyes leaving James' figure to turn to the culprit.

"Hiya darling! Haven't seen you in a minute!" Faith. An angel sent from heaven that ended up with a nonce. You love Faith, you really do. Her timing, however, could be better. This isn't the first time she has interrupted your path to James and certainly wont be the last.

"Faith?! Long time no see?"

"I could ask you the same! Thought you vanished off the face of the Earth." Faith enthusiastically yells over the music, her smiles shining with a level of brightness that even the sun couldn't rival.

"Not vanished—just... hiding from scenes like this." You say, eyes looking beyond Faiths shoulder

"And yet here you are, in the middle of one."

"I got dragged. Blackmailed. Tricked with promises of good music and free drinks."

"Whoever did that deserves a thank-you card. It's really good to see you."

"It is really good to see you was well darling, but I have to go find James. But I will be back to talk in a bit, yeah?"

You walk off in search for James again, and again - like magic - he appears in a gap between the crowd. A smile appears on his face, looking down at someone who you can not see.

Shuffling through the crowd, you finally make it to him, however as you turn around a sight you never expected to see happened.

He was kissing a girl.

Not just regular, fun kiss. Full make-out session in the corner of Faith's mansion.

Your heart sunk, falling to the bottom of your stomach. You didn't want to look but you couldn't pull yourself away from the sight of it. The man you loved and cared for most in this world was kissing another girl.

Its hard, though. You couldn't be mad at him, I mean how could you, he isn't yours. This realisation came rushing at you at full force, he wasn't yours and he did not want you back.

Blinking tears away from your eyes, you leave, running away from your problems like always. The elevator to you right dinged as people got off from coming back from upstairs. You run to the door, entering the elevator and pressing the top floor, the rooftop sounds like a perfect place to be to cry your heart out, doesn't it?

The elevator dings as it reaches the rooftop. The doors open to a beautiful scene, fairy lights scattered across the railing of the roof and a beautiful outside lounge set to complete the cozy atmosphere. You pick one of the chairs to sit on and let it all out, every emotion you have ever held towards James coming out in a streaming trail of tears and cries.

After a while, you finally compose yourself, whipping your tear stained cheeks and breathing in a deep sigh. Suddenly, the ding of the elevator sounds, bringing you out of your state entirely, reminding you where exactly you are.

Heavy boots pad towards where you are sitting and all of a sudden James head appears from around the corner.

"Hey," He says, cautiously walking towards you. "Is everything okay? I saw you for a second then you completely disappeared?"

"No everything is not fine, James". You turn to face him, standing up to try to be on his level. Regadless of your height, you still had to crane your neck to look this man in the eyes. "I am going to be honest with you now because I have held this in for too long its taking over me."

James looks into your eyes concerned, his expression reassuring you that no matter what you revealed to him, that you were there for him.

"I like you, James. A lot actually, and I can't keep going on like this and holding it from you, when I saw you kissing that girl I knew that what i thought was real wasn't and I just needed a moment to process what happened and-"

"Woah, slow down" He cuts you off, stepping closer to you. "You like me?"

"Yeah, I have for a while now"

His eyes move over your face, taking in every detail of it. You stand in silence, just looking at each other, breaths in time with the others.

"For the love of god James, say something" You look up at him stepping closer, hands going to his chest to try and snap him out of whatever trance he had been put under.

His hands move to your cheeks, cupping them and pulling you closer. A breath is stolen from you as he moved closer, his eyes searching yours for answers.

"I'm so glad you feel the same"

He moves slow, his mouth coming to yours at a pace that felt both too quick but too slow. The second contact was made, feelings you didn't kow you expressed for James erupted with in you. Magic would be the only real word to describe the feelings you felt.

His mouth moves against yours in an angelic way, gentle but desperate, like he had been waiting just as long for this moment. His thumbs brush over your cheeks, grounding you, as his lips mold to yours: soft, certain, and full of every unsaid thing lingering between you.

The world feels quiet, time slowing to nothing but the steady rhythm of your heart thudding wildly in your chest. His lips move in perfect sync with yours, tentative at first, then deepening as the walls finally crumble between you both.

When he pulls back, his forehead rests lightly against yours, his breath uneven, eyes flickering between your gaze and your lips. "I’ve been an idiot, haven’t I?" he murmurs, his voice rough around the edges but laced with relief.

You manage a small, breathless laugh, hands still pressed to his chest, feeling the rapid beat of his heart beneath your palms. "The biggest," you whisper, a teasing smile curling at the edges of your lips.

James chuckles softly, his hands trailing down to your waist, anchoring you there. "Guess I’m lucky you put up with me anyway."

His eyes soften, and without another word, he leans in again—this time with no hesitation, no questions, just the undeniable certainty that this moment, this feeling, was real.

An Angel had truly made this man because god all-mighty, he was perfect.
