Help! I'm writing first person, melancholy James, and I can't stop!

Jason laughs and holds out the spoon for Kirk, who tastes the sauce, then adds more of something out of one of the jars on the counter. I watch Jason lean in for a quick kiss.

Lars notices my distraction and stops talking. He watches them for a moment, then asks me, "Are you jealous?"

"No," I lie.

He looks up at me. "Liar." He puts his arm around my waist. "Stop being such a grumpy fuck." He pulls me into the kitchen and grabs me a soda out of the fridge.

I lean back against the counter and take a deep drink of the sticky-sweet cola.

Kirk scrapes his cake batter into a pan and turns toward me with the bowl. "Want some?" he asks, holding the spoon out to me.

I shrug and take the spoon from him. He does make a damn good cake.

He scoops up more batter on his fingers and holds them out to Jason. Jason closes his lips around them and carefully licks off all the batter. Kirk grins and stands on his tiptoes to whisper into Jason's ear. I have a pretty good guess about what he's saying, and it makes something twist inside of me.

Aaaiiieee!

Kirk baking cake. Jason licking the batter off his fingers. *dies*

And James being a (to quote Lars) "grumpy fuck." *bounces*

And there's no cure for writing first person, melancholy James. Sorry. ;)

This one's all your fault too. You wrote your James/Jason basketball snippet, and I wondered why no one ever writes Jason/Kirk doing cute, couple things together, since they're a good pairing for that kind of thing. Of course, I couldn't just write them being a couple. Oh, no. I had to write James being miserable because they're a couple. And, not that this is ever going to become a story, I don't want him to end up happy with Lars. I just want him to suffer. We won't talk about what that says about my psyche.

Wheee! I dunno why no one ever writes Kirk/Jason cuteness. 'Cause I love they way you've written them like that. :)

But suffering, miserable James is so good. And who needs happy endings? ;)
