So, this is one of my Oneshots. It's an OT3 this time (I wanted to try something new). That means Kendall/ Logan/ James in a romantic relationship. Because there are not enough OT3 fics out there. If you don't like it then don't read.

How to get two boyfriends

Sometimes it's hard for Logan to understand how he got a boyfriend- no, TWO extremely sweet, handsome and caring boyfriends:

~10 years earlier~

7 year old Hortense Logan Mitchell was standing awkwardly next to his new teacher. His family moved from Texas to Minnesota, after his father died and here he was in his new class. He felt totally out of place:

Logan was wearing a black button shirt with a blue tie (his favorite color) and a sweater vest on top of it. The other kids were wearing colorful t-shirts.

Logan had this big, grey-blue backpack. The other kids had backpacks with all different kinds of motives: Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Unicorns, Power Rangers, Princesses and so one. Of course Logan had one of these too, but his mom didn't want him to use it on his first day. She said that he needed 'to make a good first impression'.

Logan was wearing black and thick rimmed glasses. No one else (apart form the teacher) wore glasses.

Logan's first name was Hortense. The other kids had perfectly normal names, like James, Lucas, Jessica or Stacy.

The other kids knew each other for years. Logan knew no one…

»Okay, kids listen! This is our new student. His name is Hortense. «

Logan looked down feeling sad as the other kids laughed at his name.

»And he came all the way from Texas to us. «

The teacher made it sound as if this was something exciting and special.

»I expect all of you to be nice to him. «

She turned to Logan, pointed at a table in the first row directly next to the windows and said:

»You can sit there, Hortense. «

»Thanks. «, he mumbled shyly.

When he sat, he got out his pens and a notebook, which were (thankfully) not too different from the others. During the lesson he participated very well and earned a lot of praise from his new teacher, which made a lot of his classmates glare at him.

Then they got a sheet of paper with some calculations on it. Logan was very quick and solved them all in a few minutes. While the other kids were still scribbling, he looked out of the window feeling bored. He hated it here.

Back in Texas they lived in a small town with woods and meadows and farms. Here they were living in a big city. There were houses and people everywhere. Logan missed the noises and smells of home. He couldn't even here a single bird in Minnesota! Logan sighed.

'At least our backyard is big…'

Later that day when they were allowed to go outside and play, Logan got only reluctantly up, clutching his bag in his little hand. Out on the playground he sat down on a bench, which was close to the entrance of the school. Then he got his lunch bag and started to eat. Until someone plopped down next to him.

»Your mom is giving you fruits and vegetables, too? Ugh, that sucks. «

Logan looked at the boy next to him: He was black-haired, had dark-brown eyes and his skin had the color of caramel.

»I like eating them. They are good for you. «, he murmured.

»I told you so, Carlos. They are good for your looks. My mom told me so. «, another voice said. «

Logan's head whipped around to see another boy sit down next to him. The boy was a little bit taller than Logan, had brown hair and hazel eyes.

»James, your mom would tell you anything to make you eat your vegetables. «, a third voice said.

Logan looked up. In front of him was another boy. He was blonde, had fascinating green eyes and was a little bit smaller than Logan.

The boy did not like this. He had a similar situation in his old school. The boys on his old school were in the same places, those guys were now and they shoved Logan around, stole his money and damaged the book he was reading. So, naturally Logan was nervous about being in this position again.

»I'm Kendall. «, the blonde boy said.

»I am James. «

»And I am Carlos. «

»I'm Logan. «, the boy murmured.

»I though your name was Hortense? «, Carlos asked with honest confusion.

»Hortense is my first name. I hate my first name. «

»Oh, I understand. I would hate the name Hortense too! «, the Latino told him happily.

Kendall and James glared at him.

»We saw you earlier. You were really quick with that math stuff. «, James said.

Logan blushed.

»Thank you. «

»How about we meet after school? We could play hockey! «, Kendall invited him.

Logan was baffled. Never before was he invited by someone to play.

»Uh…«

He was about to give them an answer that contained actually words, but then the bell rang. Carlos and James jumped up and ran after Kendall, who shouted towards Logan:

»See you later! «

Logan stood up too and made slowly his way towards his classroom, thinking about the three weird boys.

Little did he know that these three boys would be soon his best friends.

For the rest of that day Logan was confused, how Kendall assumed that he would agree to spend time with them. But he soon learned that Kendall always found a way to get what he wanted. Now 10 years later, Logan was glad that they approached him. Because he couldn't imagine his life without Carlos, James and Kendall.

~5 years earlier~

12 year old Logan hurried through the streets of his hometown. Sometimes he still missed Texas, but now he felt better with his three best friends. Currently, Logan was on his way to Kendall's house. He got a very distressed call by the blonde earlier. The blonde was sobbing, so Logan didn't understand what he was saying. Only that it was related to his father.

Logan didn't even bother knocking. He went inside and into Kendall's room immediately. His best friend was curled into a ball on his bed sobbing.

»Kenny? «

It was only a whisper, but Kendall heard him anyway. His head shot up and he leaped at Logan. They both fell to the ground, Kendall still clinging to Logan. The blonde cried into his friend's chest, while Logan desperately tried to soothe him. It hurt his soul to see his friend like that.

After an hour or so, the blonde calmed down.

»Kenny, what happened? «

»My…My dad…He… He l-left. «

Logan's arms around Kendall tightened.

»I'm sorry to hear that. «

Kendall was sniffling and after a few minutes Logan couldn't bear the silence anymore. And so he started to talk: About his father, the things they did together and how devastated Logan was when he died.

While he listened to Logan's voice, Kendall became calmer and sleepy. And when Logan's voice died off, Kendall lifted his head and murmured:

»You are a great friend, Logie. «

Then the blonde kissed him. It was only a short peck, shared between two friends, but Logan would never forget it. As Logan watched his best friend sleeping with his head on Logan's chest, he could see the stains Kendall's tears left on his angelic face. And in this moment, Logan vowed to himself one thing: That he would do his best to prevent anything that would make his blonde friend cry again.

One year later Logan came out as gay. Everyone was really supportive, which surprised Logan. Of course he knew that his friends and family would support him, but he expected to receive hate from other people on his school. Thankfully that didn't happen.

As it happens, Logan developed over the time two crushes at the same time. And his two crushes were two of his best friends: James and Kendall. Of course he didn't tell them.

~3 years later~

14 year old Logan sat on a bed and watched how his best friend James prepared for the first date in his life. With a girl. It's unnecessary to say that Logan did not like it.

»Thanks for helping me, Logie. «

Logan forced himself to smile.

»No problem. «

Finished with styling his haif, James turned around and asked:

»How do I look? «

'Like sex on legs…', Logan thought, but he said out loud:

»You look good. She'll be all over you. «

James grinned, while Logan's heart constricted painfully. After they picked out an outfit for James, he left for his date and Logan went home.

After a few hours, someone knocked at Logan's door. It was James.

»James, what's wrong? «

»Can I come in? «

»Sure. «

Logan could tell that his best friend was distraught and so he led James into the kitchen and fixed two mugs of hot chocolate for them. When they sat at the kitchen counter, Logan said:

»Spill. «

»Well, we went to the cinema and watched this great movie and everything went great… She even held my hand! And after that during dinner she wouldn't stop asking questions about my mom! How much money she makes, if she has a place in her company… She even asked if mom wanted a daughter! What do you think is the meaning of this? «

I hesitated. Of course I had a idea, but I didn't want to hurt James.

»Logan, don't try to spare my feelings. «

I sighed.

»I think this means that she only wanted to date you, because of your mom. «

James shoulders slumped.

»Exactly, what I was thinking. «, he murmured.

We stayed up for the rest of the night talking. And at some point I could even make him smile again.

Over the next year this happened a lot of times: James would go out with some girl he liked, but she was only interested in his looks, his money or his mom and didn't want to gewt to know the real James. With every failed date, with every girl who crushed his hopes, I wanted to tell him that I was interested in him, because of his personality. I wanted to tell him that I cared about him. But I never did.

~2 years earlier~

Logan, Kendall and James were sitting in Kendall's backyard. They watched how the snow fell. Logan shifted. He didn't like this awkward silence.

»So…«, Kendall began.

»You have a crush on both of us? «, James asked.

He blushed and cursed himself. Logan couldn't believe that he let them make him so angry that he lost control. And then it just slipped out of his mouth.

Flashback

»I miss her so much...«, Kendall moaned.

»At least you had a girlfriend! «, James whined.

Kendall's girlfriend Jo broke up with him after two months and James had another disastrous date. They both felt miserable and so they went to Logan.

For the next hour the two guys moaned and whined and pitied themselves. And Loan say next to them listening to them and feeling sad and heartbroken. But at the same time he became more and more angry. Until he couldn't hold it in anymore.

»Stop! Just stop! I can't hear your self-pity anymore. For the last few months all I heard you two was: 'She is so beautiful' 'I love her.' 'I'm sure we'll marry someday.' I'm so sick of it! All your stupid babbling about some stupid girl! Why can't you see what's right in front of you? Me! Why can't you see that I have a crush on you two? Why can't you give me a chance? Why is the only thing you can see those stupid sluts? «

When he raised what he just said Logan froze and then fled to his room.

Flashback End

»Uh... Maybe? «

Logan couldn't read the faces of Kendall and James and that worried him. That never happened before.

The boy cursed himself for making his friendship with the other two guys weird. He looked down at his lap feeling down. When he felt someone say down on either side of him, Logan looked up. Kendall and James were looking at him, affection shining in their eyes.

»You know it's good if it's true. «, Kendall said.

»Great actually. «, James added.

»Uhm... Uh... What do you mean? «

»We mean that we have a crush on you too. «

»Uh what? «

»Kendall is right you know... We like you too. «

As he leaned towards Logan to kiss him, Logan's heart raced. He jumped up and that made James look confused at him.

"Well, shouldn't you take me out on a date then? «

James and Kendall smiled. They probably thought that this was Logan's way to flirt. But to be honest Logan didn't believe that they were honest. He couldn't believe it.

»You're right we should. «

When Kendall and James led Logan to a romantic indoor picnic on the next day, it was shocking for Logan. But they were both perfect gentlemen and treated Logan with uttermost care and affection. It was a perfect date something Logan would never forget. Just like he would never forget the first proper kiss, well kisses.

And now as Logan was on his way to their second anniversary it didn't matter anymore that he didn't understand why they chose him. It only mattered that they did.
