The Minnesota air is cold, blankets of snow cover the ground, it's the middle of November and it has already started snowing.
Kendall Knight, 24 years old, hockey player, blonde, bushy eyebrows.
Kendall was a young man in this small state, he had everything, money, popularity, friends, but he can't help but think that something is missing, he's missing love.
Someone to love, to hold, to kiss, to say sweet affectionate things to, he needs a partner in life, he just want's someone to call his own.
He sighs thinking that it will never happen, " I'll never know what it's like to love someone, or have a family of my own".
Logan Mitchell, 23 years old, college student, studying to become a successful Doctor, brunette, shy, and a single father.
That's right Logan is a single father to a little boy the age of 4, it didn't work out with his ex-boyfriend
Dak Zevon, who couldn't handle the stress of father hood, and left Logan to fend for himself and their son.
And even though Dak left Logan, he still sees his son, they have a shared custody, Logan has him, Monday through Thursday, and Dak get's him Friday through Sunday.
Holidays are together along with birthdays, even though Logan knows that he shouldn't let Dak see his child for walking out on them, it's only fair, considering that Dak loves his son very much and pays a lot of his expenses.
There was once upon a time when Logan and Dak were in love, they were high school lovebirds, the football star and the geek, I know it sounds cliché but they loved each other very much.
After they graduated high school, they had planned on moving out of the small state, get married start a family, but they made a decision to start a family a soon as possible, they found a young woman who was kind enough to carry their child.
After their baby was born, the surrogate mother was never heard of again.
The day Mason Mitchell Zevon, was born, they were ecstatic, they felt like the happiest people alive.
The gleam in Dak's eyes as he held his son was one Logan will never forget.
Dak called them his two favorite men in the whole world, his Mase-man and his Loganator, they were together for Mason's first year and his second year of life, before Dak decided he wanted freedom.
He would go out with his friends, get drunk, hardly would help out with the baby, he never laid a hand on Logan, which he was thankful for.
Those two years without Dak were the hardest, he had to raise his son, as well as go to school.
His parents were kind enough to watch Mason when Logan had to study, or Dak would come pick him up.
Logan's parents bought him a nice comfortable house, as a present when he and Dak had Mason.
Logan was always used to everything being handed to him, his parents both very successful surgeons, the best in Minnesota.
But Logan was tired of his parents throwing their wallets at him, Logan wanted to make his own living, he didn't want to depend on mommy and daddy all his life.
He wanted to show his son that in life you have to work hard for what you want, and that you don't just get everything handed to you on a silver platter.
He wanted to raise Mason like a real parent, he was going to be a real parent, even when his weren't.
It's not that Logan hated his parents, it's that he hated the most his life he was being taken care of by a nanny, being fed by a baby sitter, being tucked in to bed without a good night kiss or a bedtime story.
His parent's always gave him whatever he wanted, but what does it matter having everything you want, when you don't have the one thing that matters the most to you.
A parents love, Logan was going to make sure he gave Mason all the love his parents rarely showed him.
But Logan knew deep down that Mason needed both his parents, there with him, not being shipped from house to house.
He needed two parents under one roof, not the other way around.
But that was impossible, no person in their right mind would want someone like Logan, a single, bi sexual father, fighting hard to become a successful Dr. like his parents.
Kendall sighed, pulling into the Sherwoods Market, he smiles to himself remembering his teenage years, pushing around carts.
He steps out of his car, he makes his way inside.
He shrugs the fallen snow off his shoulder, he grabs a basket and heads to one of the aisles.
He's looking at the various bags of chips, thinking on which one to buy, he settles for Lays and Doritos.
He makes his way through another aisle, he pick out a few other things, he goes over to the beverages, he runs his hand under his gray beanie scratching his head deciding on what to get.
He hums to himself. " what sodies should I get?" he thinks.
He reaches out to grab one, but stops when he feels something bump to his leg, he looks down confused and sees a little boy clinging to his leg, the little boy looks up at him tears in his eyes.
Kendall bends down to the little boy's level, " are you ok little man?" he asks calmly.
The little boy nods his head, he looks at Kendall, his brown big eyes, filled with fear, and tears. His little cheeks rosy pink, his pout lips quivering, his soft brown hair matted to his forehead.
" can you tell me what's wrong?" asks Kendall rubbing the little boys shaking arm.
" I-I can't find my da-ddy" he says hiccuping.
Kendall sighs, of all things he has to help this little boy find his parents.
" well what's you're name, little guy?" he asks wiping away the fallen tears with his thumb.
" M-M-Mason Mitchell Ze-e-v-von" he says. Kendall smiles, " that's a cool name Mason, and so is you're woody doll", points out Kendall.
Mason looks down to see his favorite sheriff, hanging by his arm.
He begins crying again, and throws his little arms around the blondes neck.
Kendall is surprised at first, he raises his hands up thinking that this is not appropriate.
" please just find my daddy" sniffles the cute little brunette.
Kendall sighs and wraps his arms around the little boy, he stands up, not realizing that Mason dropped his woody doll into his basket.
He grabs Mason with one arm and reaches down to grab his basket.
" ok, what's you're daddy's name?" he asks looking around the store.
The little boy sniffles and looks at Kendall. " which one?" he asks.
Kendall looks at his confused, " um your dad's name?" he says.
" I know but y-you gots to tell m-me which o-one" says a hiccuping Mason.
" uh how many dad's do ya got?" he asks awkwardly.
The little boy raises his hands up sticking out two fingers.
" ok which one are you here with?" he asks still confused.
" my da-daddy, Lo-Logan" he says burying his head in the blondes neck.
" ok let's look for Logan" he says walking towards the frozen section.
" so how ol-" Kendall is cut off, by a frantic brunette running towards them .
" Mason, Mason!" yells out Logan.
Mason squirms in his hold, Kendall put's him down, and the little brunette runs to his older clone.
" Daddy!" he yells and runs into Logan's arms.
Logan picks him up holding him tight. " Mason I was so worried, why didn't you stay like I asked?" he said.
Mason looks at him worriedly, " be-because I was bored" he says pouting.
" that's no excuse mister, you could have been hurt" he says hugging him tighter.
Kendall just watches awkwardly, he begins to walk away, when Logan runs up to him tapping his shoulder.
" thank you so much, you don't know how much I appreciate it" says Logan looking up at him.
Kendall was mesmerized by Logan, he was gorgeous, this is the type of thing his dreams are made of.
He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly," no problem I'm glad to help", Logan smiles at him.
" well thank you very much, I'm Logan" he says.
Kendall grins, " I'm Kendall nice to meet you" he says.
Logan blushes and looks away, " well I really appreciate for helping my son out"
" hey he's a cute kid, no problem" Kendall, smirks.
" well uh I better go, Mason don't you want to say something to the nice man?" says Logan looking down at Mason.
Mason looks behind Logan's leg, that's covering half hid little face "thank you very much mister" he says blushing.
" no problem little guy, well I'll uh see you around" he says looking at Logan.
" uh defiantly, sure" says a blushing Logan. He picks Mason up, and heads towards the exit, he turns around and says." thanks again, and it was nice meeting you Kendall".
Kendall waves, Mason looks back and screams. " bye! Daddy loves you very much!" he yells out giggling.
Logan grabs Mason's little head ducking him down and rushes towards the door blushing like crazy.
Kendall blushes and heads to the registers.
He goes up to the register, he places everything on the counter, he reaches to grab the last item, he pulls out the woody doll Mason was carrying.
" shit I'll be right back" he says to the confused woman.
He runs out the door, he runs through every parking space, he yells out Logan's name numerous times.
He sighs and gives up after a few minutes, he walks back into the store to pay for his things and heads out.
He heads to his car, throws his bags in, he looks at the woody doll, he pulls the string. " you're my favorite deputy" says the pull string doll.
He smiles to himself, " you're my favorite Logan" he sighs, blushing afterward.
He didn't believe in love at first sight until know, he sighs sadly again, " he has a husband" he says pulling out the stores parking lot.
" but I have to give this back to them" he says smiling a little bit, he knew he had to at least get to know this amazingly, handsome, young father.
