Hello guys! Well, as you may know, I wrote it's like you're my mirror like almost 2 months ago (at the time the story didn't even had a title) and at the time I had so many plot bunnies about what happened before Kendall and Logan's transformation. So, before weeks of procrastination I decided to bring you guys the prequel of this story, yaaay! This is, especially, for everyone who wanted to know what happened before the ILYMM, so if you don't read the story, I suggest you do, 'cause may or may not have some references you'll be catching up here. Now go ahead and enjoy! ;)

Kendall Knight never were a sceptic person, but if there's a thing he could say with totally sure it wouldn't exist it was supernatural creatures and fate.
At least until the day he met the two people that would change his life forever.
Back in the 3rd grade he was always a lonely kid. Not lonely in the he-got-no-friends sense of the word. Kendall was a really social kid, had the mix of sweetness, fun and everything great that would make him the perfect playmate or friend. The thing is, even thought Kendall was full of friends, he never had the 'friend'. The best friend. Someone he could call his own.
And then one day, while he was waiting for his mom to pick him up from school, he decided to swing a little bit on school playground's swingset. And while he was going up and down on the swingset, he saw a little kid sitting near on a tree, enjoying the shadow, reading a book that you don't see kids his age reading, for the book was really huge (well, huge for Kendall). He had soft jet-black hair, that kept falling over his face, some huge glasses, making his brown eyes pops up. A brown so warm, so intense, so...
Kendall just couldn't understand. Why this boy wasn't enjoying the sunny day, like the other kids has been doing? Why he was so alone there? It also burned in Kendall's mind he never saw the boy before. He must be new here, Kendall thought. And without even thinking about it, the blonde boy was going straight to the tree. Straight to the little brunette boy reading.
Kendall sat there and he could see the boy a little better: the pale skin contrasting his brown hair, like he was Snow White's kid or something… And the book was really huge. He wondered for a second if the boy was really reading it.
"Hey." Kendall smiled for a second, waiting the other boy's answer, but he was silent, still reading. "So…" Kendall pointed the book, a little bit insecure "What you're reading?"
"The Fellowship of the Ring." the boy answered, eyes still glued to the book. Kendall noticed the slight accent in his voice. Yep, that definitely confirmed that boy wasn't from here.
"And it's good?"
"I guess so…" the kid pursed his lips "It's got dragons and elves and warriors and wizards…"
"Sounds cool." Kendall replied, amused. If there a thing Kendall loved was dragons. When his dad was still alive he used to tell Kendall so many stories of dragons and knights that he kinda considered himself knowing all of these stories, but… The Fellowship of the Ring? Kendall felt a bit offended. That kid knew a story (a dragon story, nonetheless) he didn't. "My name's Kendall. What's yours?"
"Hortense Logan Mitchell." the boy turned to Kendall, shyly offering his hand for a handshake
"I think I'll just call you Logan…" Kendall smiled and he shook hand with the boy "I mean, Hortense Logan Mitchell is too big for me…"
For the first time, Kendall actually looked at Logan. He looked at his glasses, emphasizing his brown eyes. And it was there when Kendall finally found the word was missing in his mind.
"These brown eyes…" Kendall smiled, pointing at Logan's eyes "They're so brown. The brownest brown I've ever seen…"
"Huh…" Logan closed his book for a bit, his cheeks turning slightly red "I don't think 'brownest' is a real word"
"Well, now it is." Kendall shrugged, smiling, before pointing to the book "Would you mind reading for me? I just really like dragons stories. And I never heard that one…"
"Not at all." Logan smiled, opening the book on the first page "But I'm warning you, there may be some words you won't understand."
"You can explain for me." Kendall shrugged once again "You look like you're really smart"
"Okay, then…" Logan shrugged too, his cheeks still a little bit red and his lips still wearing a big smile. He opened the book on the first page and started reading for Kendall.
The blonde boy just listened the story, finding himself that, after all, the story's really great. The way Logan tells the story for him, just like his father told him stories, like a bedtime story, it made him like the story even more. And that was when Kendall realized another thing.
He just found it. The thing he missed most, right after his father.
He found the best friend.
He found Logan.
