Let's start off by saying hi. ...HI! So, it has been a long time, but yeah, here I am again.
True-loves-first-Kiss-101 asked me to do a sequel to Help Me Out, Buddy / the whole story but then from Kendall's POV, so here it is. It's exactly the same story, but from Kendall's POV now. (Okay lie, not everything is COMPLETELY the same, I made a few little changes here and there, because if I didn't the story wouldn't really make sense.)
Anyways, I just realized "Help Me Out, Buddy" isn't really a good title for the first fic, since the title is from Kendall's POV and the story is written in Logan's POV. But whatever. I have (re-?)written all of the chapters already so no worries about unfinished shit again.
A huge thank you to Tina, 1koganhenderschmidt on Tumblr, for having trust in me, for believing in me, and for proof-reading / giving me feedback before I actually uploaded it here.
...One thing left to say: ENJOY!
I sat in the living room, thinking about what my girlfriend had told me earlier that morning. "I'm ready." was all she had said. I was confused at first but when I looked into her eyes I saw what she meant. Sex.
I had never had sex before, and having sex with Jo scared me. Not because she's my girlfriend, and because I'm questioning whether I'm 100% straight or not, but because I didn't know how to do it, because I was scared of making a fool out of myself.
Maybe I should find a prostitute. But would I really want my first time to be with a prostitute? And would that really help me with anything? I sighed deeply, and I didn't know what to do.
"I should just ask Logan." I whispered to myself.
It would make sense, right? Right?!
What I said earlier, about me question whether I'm 100% straight or not, was about my feelings for my best friend, Logan. Lately I've been looking at him differently, I've been noticing little things, cute little things. The way he looked in the morning, or after he just had a shower, or when he was sleepy. Logan is the reason why I'm questioning my sexuality. I don't know if I could fall in love with a guy, and be with one for the rest of my life, but there was no denying Logan made my heart skip a beat every now and then.
Logan is my best friend, I love him, I trust him. He wouldn't laugh at me if I completely sucked. I would rather fail while having sex with my best friend than fail while having sex with my girlfriend.
I found myself standing up and my legs walked me towards the bedroom Logan and I shared.
I walked in without knocking. "Logan, I need your help!" I said after closing and locking the door behind me.
"What's wrong?" Logan asked, frowning before he went to sit on the edge of his bed and I went to sit on my own.
"She wants to have sex with me." I whispered, not looking Logan in the eyes.
"What?" He already sounded upset. This is a bad idea.
"You heard me.." I said now daring to sneak a little peek at Logan.
He was looking down, as if he was deep in thought. "Are you kidding me?" he finally asked, looking me straight in the eyes.
"No."
"And why exactly do you need my help with this?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, uhmm.. I've never.. uhm.. had sex before, so I hope you maybe could ..help me?" I asked, looking down embarrassed.
"How could I possibly help you with that?"
"Well, maybe I can practice with you?" I asked shyly, looking him in the eyes again.
Logan's eyes went wide as he yelled, "WHAT?" in shock.
"SHHHHT! Don't yell! I don't want anyone to hear this, okay." I quickly whisper-yelled.
"Sorry." Logan said, looking genuinely apologetic.
"Now, do you wanna help me?"
"Why do you even want help with this?" Logan started. "Can't you just experience this with her? I thought that was kind of the point of being in a relationship?"
He had a point..
"I know, Logie. But I'm scared. I'm scared that I will fail when I'm with her." I explained.
"And you are not scared you will fail with me?" Logan questioned.
"No, you're my best friend, you won't judge me if it's bad, and I trust you like I trust no one."
"Shouldn't you trust Jo just as much?"
I sighed, "Logaaaaan, I do trust her but it's just different okay. I have known you for all my life and you always help me, with everything "
"But isn't this just.. too much?"
"No Logie, please help me." I almost begged.
"I can't believe this." Logan sighed. "What if something changes?"
"What would change?" I asked confused.
"Feelings." he whispered.
I was confused. "Why would that change?"
Logan looked right at me with a raised eyebrow. Suddenly he was shaking his head. "Logan? Why are you shaking your head?"
"Because this is wrong!"
"No, Logie. It's not. It's just a best friend helping his best friend."
"You are crazy." Logan said with a sigh.
"So, do you wanna do this with me?" I asked again.
"I need to think about this, okay. Ask again tonight or something." Logan said before standing up and disappearing out of the bedroom and apartment.
I let myself fall onto my bed and closed my eyes while I thought about all this. Was it wrong to ask him? Should I tell him I made a mistake and don't want to do it anymore? What do I do?
Before I knew it I was drifting off into a peaceful sleep, far away from all the worries.
When I woke up it was already 5PM, I had no idea who was home and what they were doing, and to be honest, all I really cared about was whether Logan was home or not.
I walked out of the bedroom and towards the living room, "Oh, Logan, you're home." I said when I saw him sitting on the couch with Carlos. "Can I talk to you now?"
"Yeah, okay. Let's go to our room." Logan said while standing up and following me towards the bedroom. I held the bedroom door open for him and smiled at him as he passed me.
Logan sat on his bed while I closed the door and locked it, like earlier.
"And?" I asked as I sat down on my own bed.
"And what?"
"Do you wanna help me?"
Logan sighed deeply and seemed to think it all through one more time. "Kendall, I still think this is a bad idea, but yes. I'll help you."
Somehow I didn't expect him to say this at all, so when he did, I jumped up and ran towards him, wrapping my arms around him tightly, falling down on the bed together.
I lied on top of him, my arms around his neck, his arms around my waist, kissing his cheek over and over again.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You're the best!" I said.
Logan pushed me off of him, which made me sad, but as we lied face-to-face, looking each other in the eyes, he gave me a small smile before his face went to serious again.
"Yeah, yeah. As long as you know I'm still not happy with this." He said.
"If you're not happy with it, then why did you say yes?" I asked confused.
"Because I can't say no to you, Kendall." Logan said with a sigh.
I smiled. "It means a lot to me. Thank you, Logie."
"So, when do you wanna do this?"
"Tomorrow night?" I aksed.
"Okay." Logan agreed.
"Let's go watch TV now."
Logan nodded and stood up. He stretched his arm out towards me, to help me get up from my bed. This gesture made me smile. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me off my bed. I smiled at him before pulling him into another hug.
"You're the best." I whispered.
Logan shrugged with a small smile and pushed me away softly. "Let's go."
We walked out of our room and towards the living room.
"Hey James! Hey Carlitos, what are you guys watching?"
"Spongebob!" Carlos said happily.
Logan and I sat down next to each other, closer than needed, but I loved every second of it. Every time our arms or legs brushed together I couldn't help but smile.
One hour later mom and Katie came home.
"Hey boys, who wants pizza?" My mom asked as she placed the pizza boxes on the kitchen table.
"ME!" We all jumped up and ran towards the table. We always had a pizza each even though we always had left overs. We all opened out pizza boxes and attacked the pizza like wild animals.
Within no-time, Carlos and I finished out pizza.
"I'm still hungry!" I all but whined.
"How can you still be hungry after a whole pizza?" Logan asked genuinely wondering how someone can still be hungry after a whole pizza. And to be honest, so did I. "Here, take this, I'm gonna explode if I eat one more slice." And with that Logan pushed 3 and a half pizza slices towards him.
"Thanks Logie." I smiled.
After a while we all finished eating so we went to the pool together, leaving my mom and Katie behind with the mess.
We lied in our chairs at the pool, having a little chit-chat. We all were laughing and it was good to spend some quality time with my best friends again.
Then out the corner of my eye I saw Jo walking towards us. She looked gorgeous, as always.
"Hey baby." She said as she leaned down to peck my lips.
"Hi." I smiled up at her.
I sat up a little bit and patted the chair. "Come sit."
"Thank you." She smiled at me.
"Have you thought about it yet?" She asked.
"Of course I have." Was this a lie?
"When do you wanna do it?" She whispered in my ear.
"When the right moment is there. I don't want it to be forced."
"You're right." She agreed.
"I love you." she whispered into my ear before biting down on my earlobe carefully.
Before I could respond to Jo, Logan was standing up and saying, "I'm gonna go back to the apartment. Bye." Before we even realized what he had said he was walking away.
"Logan!"
"Wait!"
"Come back!"
We yelled after him, but he either didn't hear us, or he ignored us.
"What's wrong with him?" Jo asked.
"I have no idea." James said. "One minute he's laughing and smiling and seems to be having a good time and then he runs off like that."
"Should we go after him?" Carlos asked.
"Nah." I said, "He needs some space." I knew Logan like nobody else did, and I knew some space was what he needed right now.
"Let's play tag in the water!" Carlos said cheerfully before jumping into the pool.
James, Jo and myself jumped in the pool, and started to play 'tag in the water'.
I was trying to smile and have fun, but I just couldn't get Logan out of my head. The four of us messed around in the water, and I had to say I was having fun, but it would have been much more fun if Logan was here too.
"Guys," I announced, "I'm pretty tired, I'm gonna go dry off and get back to the apartment."
"We're gonna stay here for a little longer." James said pointing to himself and Carlos.
"Can you drop me off at my apartment, Kendall?" Jo asked.
"Of course." I said with a smile.
Jo and I dried ourselves off grabbed all of our belongings. "Bye guys." We said to Carlos and James one more time. They waved before diving underwater again.
"Come on." I said to Jo and I offered her my hand.
She happily grabbed it and together we walked up to her apartment.
"That was fun." Jo said as she stood in the door opening of her apartment.
"It was." But it would've been more fun if Logan had been there too.
"We should do that soon again."
"We should." I agreed. With Logan there too. "Goodnight for now."
She smiled up at me and leaned in to kiss me. I pecked her lips, and I felt she wanted more, but a peck was all I could give right now.
"Goodnight." I said again.
"Goodnight." Jo said with a small smile.
I walked away and heard her sigh before closing the door.
Within a minute I was back at my own apartment. I passed my mom, wished her goodnight, kissed her cheek, and then walked towards our bedroom.
When I entered the bedroom, I saw Logan lying on his bed reading a book.
"Hi Logan." No response.
"Why did you leave so all of the sudden, earlier?"
"Logan?"
"We played 'tag in the water'. I think Carlos made that game up, but it was fun. It was just like normal tag but then in the water. I wish you had been there."
"Logan?"
"LOGAN!" I yelled, making him jump.
"Jesus! You don't have to yell!"
"I've been talking to you for the past 5 minutes! You didn't respond."
"Oh, sorry. I was lost in my book again, I guess."
I smiled; that was so typically Logan.
"So, what's the matter?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing really. I'm gonna go sleep, so I wanted to say goodnight and stuff." I said with a small sigh.
"Oh, okay."
"So, goodnight." I said as I leaned down to kiss Logan's cheek.
"Night." He said sweetly.
"Sweet dreams, Logie."
"You too." Logan smiled.
I lied down in my bed, and only then noticed now how tired I really was; I fell asleep before I knew it.
When I woke up I felt both excited and incredibly scared. Was this really happening? I took a deep breath and told myself to not think and/or worry about what's gonna happen tonight.
How can I not think or worry about this? Dammit! I can still call it off. I can still tell Logan I made a mistake and that it was wrong for me to do it. Maybe it's for the best to cancel it.
I sighed and got out of bed. I didn't want to, but I had to.
The day went ..alright, I guess. Everything was fine as long as I could keep myself and my mind busy. When I didn't my mind would drive me crazy.
My mom, Katie, James and Carlos left 15 minutes ago to go see a movie. So this was it. Logan and I were sitting on the couch. I was staring at the TV but I didn't know what I was looking at. I was so nervous, but if we didn't go to the bedroom now, we would stay on this couch until my mom, sister and our friends came back.
I turned the TV off and stood up.
"Are you coming?" I asked him.
I saw him nodding nervously, and all I though was, oh, he's nervous too.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him off the couch and towards our bedroom. I gently pushed him, sending him into our bedroom as I closed and locked the door, even though no one would be home any time soon. Better sure than sorry, or embarrassed.
He sat down on his bed, nervously and I went to sit down next to him.
"You do realize that my body is different than Jo's right?" Logan said.
"Yes." I said as I looked in his eyes.
"And I haven't done anything like this either, so I guess this is gonna be awkward."
"I'm sure it will be okay." I said, trying to make him -and myself- more comfortable. "Just tell me when you're not comfortable with anything, and I'll stop. You can always tell me you don't want to continue anymore. Okay?"
"Okay, thanks." He smiled.
"If there is anything I'm doing wrong or when it's not feeling nice, please tell me."
"I will."
We looked at each other for a while, saying nothing.
"How are we gonna do this?" he asked, breaking the -luckily not awkward- silence.
"I guess I can start by doing this."
There it is. I hope you enjoyed it and stay tuned for the next part!
