James asked Logan for a chance because it started to look so obvious they were attracted by each other, he knew it was so difficult to catch Logan's attention, he was the one who flirted with every girl/boy (yes, boy, he wasn't straight and he knew that) he saw, making things even harder. Maslow always thought he would feel pleased having a girl as his girlfriend but it was different, he wanted a boy to spend the time with him, he wanted a boy to go out with him and cuddle with him, someone who could hold his hand and kiss his cheek or even his lips. But it wasn't just someone, he wanted Logan to be his boyfriend, he wanted Logan to wake him up in the morning with a breakfast, he wanted Logan to surprise him, whenever he thinks about someone it's Logan.
They were used to being friends and maybe be more than friends in the future, but James isn't the only one who could make it work out, Logan also could make it happen, that was why he asked his friend for a chance, he wanted it to happen, he would do anything to have Logan with him for the rest of his life.
"Can we go now?" Carlos asked as James nodded, and the other two were still packing. The guys were going to Maui after spending too many summers in California.
"Can you just wait?" Kendall replied with another question as he saw James patiently waiting for them to get ready. Well, they obviously knew James had a huge crush on Logan, but Logan was still a mistery.
James was there, sitting next to Carlos in the couch staring at his friend, who was almost finishing packing, graciously. It was a hot day and he was shirtless, so it was a perfect opportunity for James to stare even more at the dimples in his back. It makes him wonder what he would do to make Logan give him a chance since they both agree they have the same taste for everything. Which made James think it would be easier for Logan to give him a chance.
Almost one hour later they were at the airport ready to go to Maui, and Logan was ready to assume to himself that sitting next to James will make him feel different. He was ready to change their relationship and he couldn't believe it, even though it was something he really wanted to do. Maybe he was scared, maybe he was too scared of being in love with his friend, and he didn't know what to do because it was something different.
Kendall and Carlos got their seats next to each other on the left side of the plane, James got there first but Logan guided him right to the last two seats, he didn't even care if their seats had a different number, it was summer and he wanted to do everything different this time.
"Once you told me you wanted to see the mean Logan" He let James sit at the windows side and sat next to him realizing he was laughing. "Come on, you know I can be serious sometimes so that's why I got different seats. Also because I don't want anyone to bother us." James read his lips and that almost gave him a headache.
He stopped laughing at the same time. "I was thinking and… Maybe Carlos was right, if I don't give you a chance maybe I will never know how it feels like being in love with a different someone, maybe I will never know how it feels like kissing a different mouth and you know… I-I think we should start something different. I mean, let's just start like any other person. Get to know each other even more, I'm pretty sure I still don't know a bunch of things about you." He rested his hand on James' thigh and felt like he was going to faint. It was absurdly stupid how he could feel only touching him.
"I told you I wouldn't disappoint you. Going to the beach is a great opportunity for us to go out and think about us." He touched Logan's hand but decided to keep it short because of other people.
"What was that for? If it is because of the other people you should not worry about it! If we're going to show people who we really are, then you should not worry about it."
"I don't know…" Logan hugged him by his shoulders and he felt more confident "Wait, let's make it official" He grabbed his cellphone and pretended he was mad at Logan and took a picture of them
"You're not gonna say anything yet, are you?" He denied. He posted the picture on his account and kept his phone back at his pocket.
They were hanging by the pool having lunch since it was a bit earlier than it was in Los Angeles and also having fun because Logan was the one who was making them food.
"Nice way to start a relationship, Logie. Making food to your boyfriend is really great, but you still have to learn how to make them taste good!" Kendall made fun of him and the other two laughed. Except James almost punched his face for what he said.
"So if you think you could do better, why you didn't ask to help me?" He confronted his friend, who was still laughing and then he sat next to Carlos. "I mean, it's not like I've never cooked in my life, I just need to practice more often"
"You meant way more often. It tastes like someone stepped in it, oh God!" Carlos tried to sound fun but Logan took it too serisouly as always. As soon as he realized it was a joke, he decided he was going to practice more often. Although he needed to learn how to cook he also wanted to try and impress James.
"I'm sorry" He said, trying not to show them he felt a little upset.
"Oh, Logan, I'm so sorry if I offended you, bud. I didn't mean to, I..." Kendall got up so he could apologize to him properly but he saw his friend laughing like an idiot.
"No problem, I know it doesn't taste good. Sometimes I just feel like I don't know how to do anything. I just sit there and watch people making different stuff and then there's me being... Me."
"Logan" James laughed "Don't be such a drama queen, there must be something you can do that no one else can't."
"Yep, I know that one" Kendall was going to start teasing them both. He wanted to tease them while Carlos wanted to make fun of them, maybe it would help things go faster.
"You better keep it to yourself because I'm tired of your and Carlos' bullshit, right? Making fun of me because of my food is enough" He replied a little bit serious and the blonde decided he wasn't going to say anything, maybe it was better if they tried it by themselves.
After they had lunch Carlos and James went to the room to play video game while Kendall lay on the couch just watching his friends play and Logan went upstairs. Kendall was about to say that Logan can kiss James, something no one else could, for obvious reasons, but he just decided not to, he didn't want to sound annoying, he was sure both of them could make things work out without any help. But maybe if he gives some advices, James is a really good surfer so he could teach Logan how to surf. It's a good way to start something. He spent too much time thinking about Logan and James that he forgot his feelings for Carlos were getting bigger and bigger.
