This takes place a few days after my 10 chapter fic, "About Last Night."
"Sorry he got mad…" Logan whispered across the pillow to his boyfriend. He touched his face and made a sad face.
"Don't be sorry, Logie," Carlos said. He smiled. "Once he sees the fan backlash is mostly positive, Gustavo will be happy about us."
Logan tried to smile, but the uncertainty was overwhelming. He bit his lower lip and closed his eyes reluctantly. Carlos took his hand gently.
"We're going the right thing," he assured him, and then kissed him on the lips briefly. "I love you."
"I love you, too." A little smile appeared on Logan's mouth. Carlos squeezed his hand and kissed him once more.
"Remember, he's dealing with us plus Kendall and James, so it's gotta be a little shocking," Carlos said.
"Yeah, you're right," Logan said. He squeezed Carlos's hand back and slipped his fingers between his. Carlos pulled him closer. Their bare chests pressed together beneath the sheets.
"Let's stay together forever," Carlos said. He made a big, bright smile in the dark of the room. "Let's get married and stay a couple even after we die."
"Ummm," Logan hummed. He put his arms around Carlos and hugged him. "I'm not entirely sure if I can make afterlife promises."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't know?"
They both giggled, but inside it made Logan sad. He didn't like thinking about dying. Who does? He clung onto Carlos a little harder. He pushed his face against the crook of the Latino's neck, hiding silent tears.
"You okay?" Carlos asked, petting the back of Logan's head.
"Yeah," was Logan's muffled reply. He kissed the tan neck and came back to his face. "I'm fine."
"Okay, good. 'Cause I don't want my little Logie to be sad," Carlos cooed. He rubbed his nose against Logan's and smiled. They kissed a few more times. Just small, sweet pecks.
"I wonder if James and Kendall will love each other as much as we do," Logan contemplated.
"It would be cool," said Carlos. "Cool for them to be soooo happy!"
Carlos rolled onto his back, grabbed Logan by the waist and hoisted him onto his chest. He hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead.
"I got the best guy ever, and I love him lots," he said. Logan blushed. "He's so cute and smart. Smarter than me."
"Oh, come on. Now you're just being silly," Logan said.
"Nope. I mean it," Carlos protested. He wriggled his boyfriend against his body in glee. He was overly delighted to be there with Logan. "I'll always be here for you."
Logan rested his cheek against Carlos's chest and closed his eyes. Carlos stroked his head and watched his breathing slowly become heavier. Those tender lips separated, and Logan soon fell asleep. Carlos stared at him for a while. He looked adorable as he slept. Carlos kissed him on the forehead, still keeping him on his chest, and whispered, "I'll always be here for you" once more before he, too, fell asleep.
