A/N: So here it is the sequel to Running Back to You. I know that this story might start off slow but I have a lot planned for it that I know you guys will enjoy. I'm just going to say this ahead of time, there are going to be a lot of cliffhangers in this story. I am going to leave you guys on the edge of your seats, or that's the plan anyways. So now that this is posted, what I asked you in the author's note of Running Back to You is now officially over. I also said that I was going to have Jarlos be in this story but I changed my mind seeing how Kendall and Logan are going to a private college. One last thing, I searched for an hour to find a college that has both pre-med and music as majors but the college doesn't have a hockey team so I am going to add that. With that being said, I present you with the sequel.
Just Beneath the Skin
Chapter One: Moving In
It was the beginning of their college life. Who knew that after everything they went through this past year that they would be standing at the edge of campus of their new college. It was the start of a new life and Kendall and Logan were prepared to face anything that came there way. They faced Kadin Knight, of all people, and won and came out stronger in the end. That is why they stood here together. Everything was so different from just one year ago. One year ago, Kendall and Logan weren't even friends again. One year ago Kendall still lived in fear of his father. One year ago they were both afraid to confess their love to the other and put themselves through misery years before.
Walking onto the campus of American University in the capital of the United States, Washington D.C. It sucked being so far away from home yet it felt so freeing. It was a scary process and it was sad to tell everybody goodbye but it needed to be done. Kendall and Logan have been waiting for this day for a long time now and couldn't believe that it was finally here.
The two boys looked at each other with huge smiles on their faces as they finally took their first steps on their college campus as official college students. They then started to walk to their dorm room, which was located in Clark Hall. Clark Hall was a dorm room built just for first year students attending American University. As the couple walked, they walked hand in hand. They received a couple of dirty looks from people but most of them looked accepting which is a nice feeling.
They finally made their way to Clark Hall after getting lost a couple of times. It looked to be pretty busy but that was expected from the first day of moving everybody into their dorm rooms. Kendall then pulled his hand away from Logan's and walked up to the front desk. "Excuse me" he said to the lady who seemed really stressed out.
"One moment please"
"Take all the time you need, it's quite alright." Kendall said politely. He didn't want to get on anybody's bad side on his first day of being on campus and it was also pointless to try and pick a fight when they are as busy as they are. After about two minutes of standing there the lady finally walked over to the desk where Kendall was standing on the other side.
"Sorry for the wait. Today has been crazy." A young curly haired bleached blond girl said and she pulled out a big container that had a lot of files in it. "What is your last name?"
"Knight and I'm also picking up the key for Logan Mitchell, if you need conformation he is right over there." Kendall turned around a little bit and smiled at his boyfriend and waved. Logan saw this and waved back confused to why Kendall was waving to him.
"Well, since he is right there I guess I will allow that." The lady smiled. She then looked through the files and got Kendall and Logan's files out and set them down. "Oh, a music major, very interesting. We don't get those in Clark Hall very often. It is always nice though to hear them sing or play whenever they do live here."
"Well I am told that I am a very excellent guitar player and I'm not so bad with my singing either." Kendall and the girl laughed. Logan saw this from a distance and was already starting to feel jealous. Why was Kendall flirting with that blond whore? Logan thought to himself then shook off the thought. Kendall was just a very friendly and outgoing person so people naturally like him. Hopefully nobody tried to take him away from Logan here.
"Well I might just have to hear you one day. Anyways, here is your key." The lady said handing Kendall his key. "And here is Mr. Mitchell's key" she handed Kendall the second key. Kendall smiled at her and about to say goodbye when she spoke up again. "Oh and here is a number to call in case of anything." Kendall took a sticky note from the girl, which had her name and phone number on it. "Call anytime."
"That's really nice but I'm already seeing somebody." Kendall looked at the name on the paper and saw that it was Oakley. Kendall thought that the name was really weird but cool all at the same time. "It was really great to meet you Oakley and I would love to be your friend and I know that isn't what you want to hear but that is the best I can offer."
"It's ok; I always seem to go after the wrong guys." Kendall smiled sympathetically at her.
"Well maybe after all this craziness dies down you can hang with Logan and I or something. I'll have to double check that with him." Kendall said then turned around to see that Logan was getting to be really impatient. Kendall hoped that Logan didn't see Kendall talk to Oakley. He was flirting in a way but it was more flattery and being nice then trying to get into her pants. Kendall didn't even like what was underneath her pants so he didn't know why Logan would worry.
"He seems to be a bit annoyed so I'll let you go see your room." Oakley said and Kendall waved bye to her and headed over to Logan. Logan was happy that Kendall was done talking to the girl and he can finally have Kendall all to himself again without having people trying to have their sweet way with him.
"So are you ready to finally see where we will be living for the next ten months?" Logan just nodded. He grabbed Kendall's hand and the two of them walked towards their door room.
"So what room are we staying in?"
"210, it's one of the only two bed rooms in the entire building. I'm happy that we don't have to be sharing with two other people." Logan nodded in agreement. Logan then looked at the door numbers they were passing. It may be in the 200's but Kendall and Logan were up on the third floor of the building. The numbering system was weird in this building but neither of them minded living on the third floor.
After another minute of passing by several doors they reach theirs. Logan's face now had a huge smile on it which matched Kendall's. "So who gets to open the door for the first time?" Logan asked Kendall who just handed Logan they key. Logan was actually really happy that Kendall let him open up the door for the first time. He had wanted to do it when they first decided that they were going to be going to college here.
Logan quickly took the key from Kendall and opened up the door. The room was simple; it has two twin size beds at opposite sides of the room, two desks (which was just an extra length of wood attached to the dressers). Each of them had their own chair, trashcan and their own set of hangers that would go into two separate open spaces with a bar in the middle of it, otherwise their closets.
"It's nicer then I imagined. I love it, Ken." Logan said walking into the room dragging Kendall in with him. "But there are a few things we need to change about it." Kendall smirked; he knew at least one thing that Logan was talking about.
"Oh and what would that be?"
"Well first thing being first, we really should push those beds together so that we have one really big bed to fool around in."
"Sounds like a great plan." Kendall said before lifting Logan's chin and kissing him passionately on the lips. The two of them then quickly got to work on where they wanted their bed and they found a nice place underneath the window with a bulky yellow curtain. Once the beds were pushed together Kendall and Logan were about to lay on it when Kendall received a call from his mother.
"Hello" Kendall answered with joy in his voice.
"Hi baby. I was just calling to let you know that we'll be there with the moving truck in about ten minutes."
"That sounds great mom. We just got our room arranged a little so now we'll have more room to put the stuff."
"Did you guys push your beds together?" Jennifer was only teasing her son but knew what she asked was in deed true. The two boys weren't going to share a room without having their beds pushed together.
"Mom" Kendall whined a little.
"It's quite alright dear, you're an adult now" Jennifer sounded sad.
"Anyways mom, I'll let you drive so you get here safely. I'll see you in just a few minutes." Kendall then hung up and brought his attention back to Logan who was spread out amongst both of the beds. "Well don't you look comfortable?"
"Very, you should really come join me." Logan lifted his head to look at Kendall.
"Well, I would but I can't for two reasons."
"Oh?"
"First, our moms will be here in a little less than ten minutes. The second, there is no room on there with you spread out taking up most of the room." Logan and Kendall chuckled. "So get up, we got to go meet them."
"I don't want to"
"Well you want sheets for our beds, don't you? What about all your other stuff?" Kendall raised an eyebrow and Logan, who let out a loud sigh before getting up. "You're cute." Kendall said and Logan shot him a look, causing Kendall to chuckle a little. "That was meant in the best way possible. I love you, Logie; I would never hurt you on purpose." Kendall had to be careful about his words whenever he said that he wouldn't hurt Logan. They had got into a few arguments over the past few months about that. Logan forgave Kendall, but the hurt that Kendall caused never really went away. Ever since Kendall was forced to break up with Logan, Logan has always been afraid of Kendall leaving him. Kendall couldn't blame him though; it really was asshole move on his part to do it right after they had sex for the first time.
"I love you too Ken" Logan said before pulling Kendall down into a kiss. "Now, let's go get our shit."
-Just Beneath the Skin-
It took a while but Kendall and Logan finally got all of their stuff inside their dorm room. They were too tired to unpack tonight except for a few clothes and things they would need right away like sheets and pillows and blankets and other things like that. Kendall and Logan were now lying down in their freshly made bed cuddling. Logan was laying on Kendall's chest, listening to his heartbeat. That was actually a really soothing sound for Logan. He didn't know why, but it always made Logan feel a little better inside whenever he heard it. It was probably because Kendall almost died on several occasions, all because of his father. Logan was probably just terrified of not being able to hear that sound again.
"So, tomorrow the girl I was talking to about getting our keys wants to hang out with us. Are you alright with that?" Logan wanted to say no, but he wasn't going to deprive Kendall of making friends.
"If that's what you want to do," Logan tried not to sound bitter but was failing miserably.
"Are you made because of earlier?" Kendall asked looking down at Logan. He really wished that he hadn't upset Logan.
"A little, I guess I'm just paranoid."
"No you're not. She did give me her number, but don't worry I told her I was seeing someone."
"Did you tell her who?"
"No, but I will. I'm not going to keep you a secret from anybody Logan. I love you way too much to let what people think of me matter." Logan looked up at Kendall with a small smile. "And there is no reason to be mad, I don't like girls remember." Logan chuckled a little bit. He really had no clue why he was so worried.
"I'm just afraid that someone will take you away from me."
"Don't worry; I'm not going anywhere, ever." Kendall said before pushing Logan on his back. "Now, I say we break in this bed." Logan eagerly nodded his head in agreement.
A/N: So there was chapter one. I know that it isn't much yet but be patient with me. So tell me what you all think of the sequel so far (even though it isn't much). Also, just a little fun fact to know: Whenever I have the number 210 for one of the boys to live at is because of apartment 2J. 2 and the letter j is the tenth letter in the alphabet. Anyways, review!
