Chapter 1: The Secret of Love
"Come on, James!" Kendall shook James awake. James groaned. "Five more minutes." Kendall yanked the covers off of James, unaware that he was naked. "I'm so sorry, James!" He quickly threw the covers back and left the room.
"Did you wake him up?" Carlos asked. Kendall tried to hide his blush, from embarrassment and arousal. Luckily Carlos and Logan were too busy playing "who could eat more nachos" to notice. "Oh, uhh, yeah." Kendall finally answered. Soon James walked out of the room, he was blushing too.
"How do I look?" He said, slicking back his hair and clicking his teeth. Carlos and Logan laughed, but Kendall looked at the ground. "What are we doing today?" Kendall looked up, and his eyes met with James'. Carlos and Logan didn't fail to notice. "KISS!" Carlos screamed, joking around. Kendall stormed off.
James was quick to follow. "What's wrong, Kendall?" He said. Kendall didn't say anything. Finally James rested a hand on his shoulder. "Tell me." "You idiot!" He shouted, not caring that Logan and Carlos were probably listening. He continued, "I got a boner seeing you naked!" James looked at Kendall, shushing him. "Hey, it's okay" Kendall went back to talking, this time quieter, " I like you, James." Now it was James' turn to run out of the room.
James almost ran into Carlos and Logan who had their ears pushed up against the door. "James." Logan said softly. "No, I don't want to hear it!"JAmes said. Logan and Carlos followed James. "We aren't here to make fun of you!" James whipped around when he heard this comment, "I'm not gay! He is!" James then looked behind Carlos and Logan and saw Kendall leaning against the wall. "Kendall, I didn't mean it like that." Kendall just stood there, tears forming in his eyes. "Please, Kendall." James pushed past his two other friends to join Kendall. "Let's go for a drive and talk." They both got into James' car.
"Talk to me." James said. Kendall blinked, "I don't know what to say." Kendall said, playing with his thumbs. James quickly grabbed his hand, he looked at Kendall, whispering softly, as he spoke, "I won't judge you." As James said that, he pulled over the car. Finally, Kendall spoke, "From the moment I met you, I liked you. I felt feelings for you, that i never felt." He looked down, "Feelings i didn't even feel for Jo." James quietly listened. "I'm gay, James. I like you." James could hear Kendall's voice breaking and he couldn't take it anymore. Grabbing Kendall by the collar, he pulled him in for a sloppy kiss. "I like you too." Kendall pulled away, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" "Carlos and Logan were listening, I couldn't just kiss you." They both smiled and kissed again.
Everything was perfect. They found each other. Carlos and Logan were at home, relaxing. They would never know what James and Kendall were getting up to. Never would they know about the kiss nor about how they cared for each other. The greatest secret they shared, the secret of love.
