Knight in Shining Armor
Today marked the one year anniversary of when Kendall went off to war. Carlos, James, Kendall, and I stopped performing about a year and a half ago. We decided that we needed to take a break from all of it. I decided to go to medical school, Carlos is training to be a professional hockey player, and James is a model. He said he thought about being in the army with Kendall, but they would cut off his precious hair (Figures... that's all he cares about.)
About a month ago, we were asked by Taylor Swift to make a performance at her newest concert in LA. We all said yes and right now, we are being fussed over by makeup artists and stylists. All of us really miss Kendall, but what no one knew was that I had secretly been dating him since the band stopping performing. We decided that since we were not working together we could date. Then, when Kendall enlisted in the army, it nearly killed me.
We still get to talk sometimes, but it's really hard because when we do get to talk, he can't talk for long. Also, we have to worry about Don't Ask Don't Tell, so we can't be open about our relationship. I think that James and Carlos have an idea about it, but they have never actually said anything.
The concert was a charity concert for soldiers in Afghanistan. We sang a lot of patriotic songs, then Taylor handed us a list of soldiers who had died in action. I couldn't bear to read it, so I gave it to Logan and Carlos and let them read while listened for the one name. Luckily, it wasn't called, so I quietly let out the breath I had been holding.
Then, Taylor said the words I don't think I'll ever forget. She said, "now, I have backstage a group of guys who have risked their lives many times for this country. Come on out you guys!"
As everyone watched, Kendall led a group of men onto the stage. Without thinking about it, I ran up to him and gave him a kiss. He kissed back and he took the opportunity to pick me up and spin me, so I ended up with my legs around his waist. The stadium was dead silent before it busted out with applause and cheering.
When I realized what I did, I blushed and buried my head in Kendall's shoulder. He chuckled and took the microphone that Taylor had outstretched to him. "Hello, everyone," he said, "I am Kendall Knight, obviously, and this people are Tommy Criss, Joe Ratliff, and Darren Anderson. We all fought together overseas and we are now coming home to see our families."
When he said "families" he squeezed my hand lovingly.
"You see," he said, "when the band broke up about a year and a half ago, I admitted to Logan that I had feelings for him and he returned those. It was really hard while I was overseas but now we are back and I wanted to take this time to say something."
He looked right at me and pulled a box out of his pocket. "Logan, this last year without you has been torture and I never want it to happen again." He got down on one knee and looked up at me. "Logan Mitchell, will you do me the great honor of being my husband?"
"I would have to be mad to say no, Kendall," I answered and kissed him on the lips.
