Dropping his body onto the floor next to Kendall, Logan popped the cap of the tube. "Pucker up and hold still."

Confused, Kendall followed the directions. A slather of goop was smeared across his lips. Satisfied, Logan smiled as he capped the tube and pocketed it.

"What'd you put on me?" Kendall smacked his lips, getting acquainted with the foreign taste.

"Chapstick."

Face crumpling in disgust, Kendall raised an arm to wipe the substance off.

Reflexes quick from years of hockey, Logan snatched the other's arm away. "Don't wipe it off!"

"Why shouldn't I?"

Brow crinkling, Logan hurried to find a reward to tempt the other boy with. Light bulb illuminating, Logan spoke. "Because if you're real good for me and keep it on for a little bit…I'll give you a big kiss."

Face still held in a tensed position, Kendall felt his resolve softening. "I think I should get two big kisses."

Smirking in victory, Logan grabbed his video game controller, ready to begin the game. "Maybe."

One more chapter.
