How long must I wait
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Pairing: James/Logan
Rating: M (because I know my sick, sick mind and the boys will be men eventually)
A/N: Remember how funny and fluffy chapter one was? Well sorry but now they're teenagers so we've moved to the angst years! MWHAHAHA! I think I have Kendall pegged down now, didn't feel that I got him right in "Frozen" so that's good. What's bad is that I'm dealing with a sort of a crisis of faith and it makes my writing awful (also my workload sucks this week; this writer is very, very, tired.) I made things weird and confusing again towards the second half, I'm sure! Please I need reviews to get of the gutter! PLEAAASE!
If you still want it Newbie-0.0Q this is still yours. AND HAPPY BIRTH DAY BECAUSE I WON'T BE ONLINE THIS SATURDAY!
"LOGAN HONEY THE BOYS ARE HERE TO PICK YOU UP!" Mrs. Mitchell shouted from the bottom of the stairs at her son currently locked up in the bathroom making final preparations. His first thought was on why was she calling him Logan, but then he remembered that it was his first name now, changed by the whims of Brooke Diamond in a matter of seconds the first time she laid eyes on him.
When he told the story to his parents that night at the dinner table he did it for the laughs, he never expected them to love the idea and have him legally move his original name in the middle and place Logan as the first. Apparently he was surrounded by crazy people, and the most insane of them were currently waiting for him outside his front door.
"I'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE I JUST HAVE TO DO MY HAIR!" He bellowed back and grumbled frustrated at his reflection, he would rather stay cooped in his room reading the big pile of books he had accumulated to pass the summer time than be drugged to a stupid party some popular kid was throwing to celebrate the fact that school was now closed for three months. If Logan had his way schools would be open all year long, including weekends, holidays, even when a natural disaster like a blizzard would decent upon Minnesota throwing the city back to the Ice Ages. Logan would still make people go to school using a whip if he had to starting with the three slackers that he shared a brotherhood bond with.
Logan was a natural born nerd, and that side of him was just one of the reasons he still hadn't gotten a girlfriend at the age of fifteen, other reasons though, most of them really were tied to a secret, an actual secret because he was proud of his thirst of knowledge and the people that didn't understand that could drop from the face of the earth for all he cared.
The real secret that Logan was prepared to take to his grave was currently tapping one foot in repeat frustrated and anxious waiting at the Mitchell's doorsteps losing his last ounces of patience ready to flip his lid and climb up the wall to the bathroom window and drag Logan out.
"We'll run late..." James hissed annoyed beyond bounds.
"Settle down, there is no such thing as late James, it's a Friday night party we can show up any time we want." Kendall tried his best knowing it was futile; he still had to give reason a shot.
"First him, now Logan! You guys are doing it on purpose; I'll miss all the girls worthy of my time!" James threw an accusatory finger over at Carlos who made an angry face.
"Hey! I was ready on time! You just had to force me to leave my helmet home! I feel all naked now…" He then sulked, and scratched his head for the millionth time which itched due to the sudden loss of headgear.
"Carlos we talked about this. You want a girlfriend right?" Kendall cooed Carlos nodded his head up and down smiling a little embarrassed.
"Sorry Garcia, not happening tonight. The Diamond is on the prowl, you can at least take notes on how I woe the ladies." James informed playing with his eyebrows while rolling the sleeves of his fine silk shirt up to show off more muscled skin, warning he meant business.
"Oh, come on leave some for the rest of us!" Carlos pouted and Kendall rolled his eyes, now he was the one losing his cool, he needed backup because James and Carlos were about to embark on another verbal silly argument. When he saw Logan coming out he mumbled a grateful thank you to God.
"I'm here…I'm here...we can go now!" Logan said closing the door behind him but James stared at him losing all color at the sight.
"What…what is that thing that you're wearing is that supposed to be a shirt?! And the pants are you color blind Mitchell! Don't get me started on the shoes... GO BACK UPSTAIRS AND AT LEAST MAKE AN EFFORT! I AM NOT SHOWING UP IN THE SOCIAL EVENT OF THE YEAR WITH YOU LOOKING LIKE THAT!" James was having a nervous breakdown while Logan turned to face Kendall trying to ignore the obscurities that came out of his mouth.
"He's in pretty boy mode isn't he?"
"Yup…" And they turned and slouched down the street Carlos tugging along right behind them, while James still flailed.
"YOU GUYS ARE NEVER GOING TO GET LAID! INCLUDING YOU AND YOUR MOPY HAIR KNIGHT! MARK MY WORDS!"And then he ran after them calling them names all the way to their destination.
The social event of the year was the typical teenage unsupervised party organized in the last minute, with people from all over the school, most of them uninvited, all of them under eighteen and looking for a way to let out some of the stresses and hormones that racked their bodies and minds.
It was already a full house, the moment the boys entered the entrance hallway through the open door, they had to fight tooth and nail for every single step that led to the living room, pushing people aside gently, apologizing for stepping on feet unintentionally, bodies grazing left and right.
Logan even lost Carlos for a few seconds in the crowd, when they finally made it they saw their host, a member of their hockey team running up and down trying to do his duty the best way he could.
"Hi Sean!"
"Kendall! James! Carlos! There you guys are!"
"Typical…" Logan mumbled, he was just the fourth wheel again, invisible to anyone but his friends, not liked even by most of his fellow hockey team members since he took the last spot on last year's try outs replacing a popular senior at that, everyone was convinced that his long time friendship with the new team captain had more to do with it and not the fact that he was a natural on the ice, and no one could understand why the charismatic Kendall Knight, the adorable Carlos Garcia and the breathtaking James Diamond wasted their time with the shadow that was known as Logan Mitchell.
"Okay guys good to see you here, grab a coke or something and mingle..."Then he leaned over towards James and smiled slyly, pointing conspicuously over a corner at some girls.
"There are senior girls here!" He said grinning.
"I can see that dude! You're the man!" James said approvingly and then they hi fived with a loud clap which Logan found both stupid and juvenile. Sean left, leaving the four friends on their own devices.
"So, Carlos, want to try your luck with the cheerleaders' captain?"
"You're an idiot!" But James just grabbed him by the arm smiling smugly and dragged him along, thinking he needed the experience of getting burned under his belt.
"Oh, boy, this is going to be a train wreck…Want some punch Logs?"
"A punch on James's pretty face is what I want right now…"
"Come on Logan, James sets you up in all those double dates, Carlos needs to stretch his legs in the game, don't be jealous, it's not like they'll get anything out of this."
"Yeah, you're right…can you get me that punch now Ken? Thanks…" Kendall nodded and then he trailed off, Logan was not only jealous now but angry too; he could do without the reminder that James kept on setting him up all year long forcing him on dates. Of course the dates never went anywhere, he spend most of his time paying attention to James watching him light up as he flirted than his own date, and at the end of each night James got to at least second base while Logan took the girl home and then he proceeded to collapse on his bed muffling frustrated screams face buried in his pillow. He avoided the situation as often as he could but James never really takes no for an answer, and he needed to make sure the feelings he had for him weren't because of messed up hormones or just some stupid idea that got stuck in his head from way back when, because Logan Hortanse Mitchell has been in love with the boy that appeared to be his best friend before he was even tall enough to reach the middle kitchen cabinet, and now after all this years he had become a master of holding in his feelings, well, at least most of the time he was, at times like these he let things slip.
He felt someone push him aside suddenly because the sweaty couples needed to expand the dance floor and he was a waste of space in their eyes, he turned to find Kendall but he was right in front of the food table laughing with the rest of the hockey team that came to bask under their protégé of a leader, he turned to find Carlos expecting him to be sulking under James's shadow but he was actually leading a senior by the hand on the dance floor while James marveled proudly before returning to conversation with his current target.
It was time for Logan to hide and lurk in a corner like his old childhood super hero, but back then he imagined it'd be fun, now he just did it by default wanting to avoid people looking at him. Logan was part of a set, individually they all knew how to shine, and Logan simply knew how to fade and so he did.
He found asylum in a chair outside by the open living room windows, the night breeze even did him the courtesy of throwing the curtains over him making him completely vanish every few seconds.
He checked his wrist watch he knew that eventually Kendall would come after him; he didn't have much time to be alone and be himself. He had to pretend to be bored and not heartbroken so his friend wouldn't worry as much. There was a time when James would be the one to find him but that was when they were children that time was past gone.
He often thought of coming out, telling somebody, anybody, his parents were a sound choice, they were open minded understanding people; they would love their son just the same. But in the end he just couldn't do it, because he feared that James would find out about it, and in his shallowness he wouldn't be able to understand, James's number one priority was keeping appearances, the image of teenage heartthrob. Logan was dead certain that if they met now and not back in kinder garden James wouldn't give him the time of day.
He lifted his head up in the starlit sky and let a sigh escape him as he wished upon the summer half-moon. If only things were different, if only something changed, if James could suddenly notice by himself at how often Logan would stutter when he tutored him or how he blushed when James walked shirtless in the locker rooms. If he could find the courage to confess or if they weren't in high school anymore where he felt like an outsider every single fucking day.
He would even settle for a girl that would make him want to actually try. Someone passionate and beautiful and maybe a little silly like James, someone to sweep him of his feet, he could give that person an honest shot, try to grab on the chance to be normal, anything to make him move from the current predicament.
He thought he had to wait until college where all this would seem like the escapades of youth and that got him through most days but college seemed so far away at nights like this. When James made it clear he cared for all his friends the same way and the only lustful feelings he had were aimed at the opposite sex.
In the end Logan stuck on his decision, wait patiently for time to move, for his real life to actually start and not do anything stupid to mess with the status quo. Not risk losing his friends or making high school life even harder than it already was, just make it through the day, and then the next one, and then the next he couldn't see that this particular trail of thought wouldn't get him anywhere, he was a teenager after all.
"There you are…" Kendall found him thirty minutes later, he was holding two lemonade cups instead of punch and Logan took the one he passed confused.
"Somebody spiked it." He sat on the ground next to Logan trying not to sound judgmental; Logan on the other hand didn't even try.
"See that's why I don't like parties or people! Bet you Sean did it by himself, and the music's too damn loud, the cops will be all over us soon!"
"Stop jumping to conclusions and worrying about stuff all the time Logan! I talked to Sean and he threw it out the moment he heard about it, and he talked to the neighbors when he set the party, it's not even nine yet! His parents are just across the street too having a barbeque with his aunt! God can you just loosen up for once, James is right you never really make an effort to be social and nice to people under the age of eighteen!"
"Okay, so Sean's not a moron, he's just spoiled rotten like James. And I don't owe him the benefit of the doubt; did you see how he ignored me when we got here?"
"Yeah, you're right about that, but Logan you're more mature than any of the four of us combined, the entire class even, can you just be the bigger person and turn the other cheek?"
"Easy for you to say, you're Captain Kendall Knight, I'm just nerdy nerd Mitchell!" Logan stood up and drunk his drink in one gulp, then he squashed the cup in anger, Kendall frowned, he usually would have left the subject to drop but he was a little sick and tired of the repetition of Logan playing martyr.
"Are you ever going to tell me what this is really about, why do you have the sudden need to barricade yourself up from the rest of the world and won't even let us in?" Logan froze still, he turned to face Kendall feeling his heart beat rise and spike, he thought this was a sign, a sign to let some of the pent up feelings out. Kendall was a brother to him, they just didn't share blood, that was all, he could do this, tell someone finally, trust someone, let someone in, tear the wall down.
"Kendall I think…" But before he could barely even start he was interrupted by James coming out of the house with a girl wrapped around his arm, not a senior of course, he wasn't that good but try telling him that in his face. Vicky shared a few classes with Logan and the boys, and like every other girl their age she couldn't say no to The Face, they were both laughing without a care in the world, he even made her do a spin and a twirl, and they were about to embark on a passionate kiss, when James's eyes fell on Kendall and Logan. He stopped cold; he took his arm off the girl's back with lightning speed.
"Hey guys, didn't see you there…we were…"
"Looking for some quiet place, right big fellah?" Logan spoke with a straight face, no apparent jealousy, nor was there any other evidence that he was slowly dying inside, maybe he was already dead because his heart felt cold, cold and barren, like a frozen wasteland that never experienced the joys of spring, it wasn't the first time he felt that way either, in fact the only times that he felt different, alive, were the times he and James were alone, and James didn't have the mask of pretty boy on, the times were they shared their secrets to each other, all except one.
"Hope we didn't interrupt anything…." Vicky said apologetically, Logan could count in one hand the kids from school that were actually nice to him and fucking Vicky Croix had to be one of them, he hated her now and he hated James more for making him feel that way.
"We were just talking. No big deal." Kendall smiled at her but the look he gave James was filled with murderous intent, James lost all color, Logan didn't notice he was trying to force himself to smile.
"Let's go inside Ken, the lovebirds need some quiet time." But as he turned to leave he was stopped by Vicky herself.
"No, no you guys can stay; me and James can fool around some other time on an actual date, if he cares to ask. I wanted to talk to you actually Logan…" She even left James's side and grabbed Logan by the arm, pleading eyes and everything.
"What do you want to talk about?" He asked confused.
"I read this article online about hereditary mutation and…"
"I didn't know you were into bio that much?"
"I don't have your average but that doesn't mean I waste my time reading the fashion magazines Logan. So what I wanted to know was…"
Kendall took the opportunity to grab a smiling James by the arm and drug him further away from the party, behind the trees that surrounded the little store room on the far back of the yard.
"Would you look at that? Loggie is actually stealing a girl from me..." James said amused eyes still fixed back at the pair behind them.
"Cut the bull! What have we talked about!?" Kendall couldn't control himself any longer, he had enough of beating around the bushes with Logan, James had to suffer a full attack now for his immaturity.
"No! We're not having this discussion again Knight!" James made an angry gesture with one hand and then tried to leave, but Kendall used his entire body to block him, like they were on the ice fighting for the hockey championship.
"Oh, yes we are Diamond!"
"There's nothing to talk about! You have no idea how crazy you sound when you spew that crap! You're straight, Carlos is straight, I'm straight, Logan's…"
"Logan was about to come out of the closet!"Kendall moaned in frustration turning James to stone.
"What…"
"He was ready to confess! And then you and Vicky barged in! I've told you once! I've told you twice! Logan isn't interested in girls, never was never will be! Stop trying to set him up, it throws him back and confuses the Hell out of him! Why are you so set on fixing him, there's nothing wrong with him! He needs our support and you're just messing with his head! What are you afraid of James? Are you some kind of homophobe?! Because I swear if…"
"Homophobe?! You did not just say that, you did not just say that to me! If Logan comes out then I'll have to do it too okay, that's why I'm stalling! I'm not ready yet, I'm just not! So shut up, just shut the fuck up!" Then James started to cry, and it was Kendall's turn to change into stone.
"What…did…you just…"
"You heard me…"
"James this…this doesn't make sense…I've known about Logan for years but you…All those girls you date…the Peggy Warton rumor…" James wiped his tears he tried to pull himself together; it wasn't easy, his voice still came out choked, ashamed, and disgusted with himself.
"Yeah…that one's true…we had sex a couple of months back…"
"You're an idiot!" Kendall finally snapped mind connecting the puzzle pieces together.
"I know! I just…I can't deal with the fact that I get turned on by…so I…" He couldn't even say it, how he threw himself from one girl to the next, using them in an effort to suppress the urges he had.
"Wait, wait back up, are you sure you're…" James begged Kendall not to say the word just in case someone overheard them Kendall just rolled his eyes at him and lowered his voice register to match James's own sobbing whispers.
"Maybe…it's not that I don't enjoy the make out sessions, but that time with Peggy, that was weird…"
"So all this for you is some kind of what? A test?"
"No I…I'm confused Ken…I'm just confused, on one hand I have fun with them, and sometimes I grow actual feelings but then I have all this dreams and stuff and I pull back. Didn't you ever notice how I take hour long showers in the locker rooms?"
"I just thought it was a pretty boy thing, which I attributed to your mom and her job but now, well it makes sense now, you are the heir to Diamond Cosmetics after all might as well play the part." Kendall giggled James's expression hardened.
"Don't say that again, I know that my pop star dream sounds stupid to all three of you but it's actually something I want. I don't plan on living my life the way my mom dictates."
"Okay, sorry I know your mother isn't exactly the easiest person to deal with. So, you at least have some feelings about your dates, see, you're not that shallow of a person. How about the other team, anyone special that makes…" And then Kendall's mouth gaped because the moment James heard the word special his eyes darted over towards Logan who still talked oblivious to Vicky, his eyes lit up like spotlights.
"…son of a bitch…"
"Yeah…I know…"James mumbled and then Kendall erupted with laughter, bending on his knees while James turned bright red.
"It's not funny!"
"Oh, yes it is! You know you can walk right up to him and kiss him and then ride off into the sunset…"
"STOP IT DUDE!" And Kendall did, he stopped laughing in mere seconds and turned back to James dead serious.
"You have to stop screwing around James! If you actually care for him, he's right there! Right there! And he's going through the same crap you are man! You can help each other! You could even be happy together!"
"Yeah right! And throw our friendship down the drain! And besides like he doesn't have it bad enough with the nerd label permanently attached on him! And even though I look at him that way doesn't mean he does…"
"You're just scared about what other people will say that's why you don't even sing in public even though you love it!"
"No I'm just scared he'll shoot me down and break my heart!"
"Wow. Did not see that one coming…You have it bad for him don't you?"
"You have no idea…"
"Let's summarize shall we? You're an idiot, a scared shitless immature coward. And a moronic masochist who's in love with his best friend who just so happens to be in the same exact spot like you and instead of, oh, I don't know, give yourself a chance you whore around?" That was the real proof of the friendship they shared, voicing each others' inner thoughts with brutal honesty, and of course nobody did it better than the fearless leader.
"Look, maybe Loggie isn't straight and you don't know that for sure, you only have your gut feeling! But that doesn't mean he's attracted to me even if he was the same! Most importantly Kendall I don't want to ruin what we have! Did you know that he asks me what I want to do with my life after school! That's why he offered to give me private lessons! He wants me to go college and when I tell him I'll be a star he says it's good to have a backup plan. I make it hard for him every single day, we waste hours in my room trying to study and it's not my fault I can't keep up with him! You just said it, I'm an idiot and Logan should be in NASA by now. But I spend most of the time looking at the crook of his neck and that smile of his than actually pay attention. I've even written songs about him…"
"Songs…about Logan's neck…."
"Not just the neck Kendork!"
"Lower parts too I bet…"
"Is that how you show your support! Good thing I interrupted you, if you had laughed at him like this he would have just died from embarrassment."
"You can handle the jokes, trust me I'll be all serious when he comes out."
"If he comes out because I just think his girl problem is the same as Carlos's, cold feet."
"Wanna bet?"
"How much?"
"Not money rich boy. If Logan comes out you stop the whoring cold and go after him. If you still want him that is. Until then try not to get any aphrodisiacs."
"And if he doesn't or if he isn't even…"
"I'll get you a damn record deal or something. Because I know you want to be famous and have girls, okay scratch that, people chant your name and rip your clothes off and make money on your own name not your mom's."
"Like you wouldn't go after the big break if you had the chance?"
"I can't sing and I'm not buff and dreamy like you Mr. Diamond."
"I could give you private lessons." James smiled slyly, he even sounded a little flirtatious just to get Kendall back for making him come out.
"No thank you, I like my head where it is, don't want Logan to rip it off for no good reason."
"He doesn't swing that way Ken."
"Then take the bet, what do you have to lose?"
"And how are going to hold your end of the bargain if I win?"
"First of all you want to lose it shows all over your face and I don't know, I'll get a job at the supermarket or something I was planning on doing it anyway to pull my weight around the house. I'll just save up some money for you and your crazy dream."
"That'll take years."
"Then it'll be a prolonged bet, isn't Logan worth the wait?" James threw another longing look over at Logan, he and Vicky were joined by Carlos now and Carlos always made people laugh. He saw Logan's dimples, his crook smile, the things he found irresistible on him, he felt his heart flutter and what did he have to lose taking on a silly bet anyways.
"Yeah he's worth it. Deal!" He gave a hand out and Kendall took it.
"Deal! But no more flirting tonight for you or I'm telling everyone we made out."
"WHAT! You sure you don't bend my way Knight?" They started to slowly make their way back to the party smiles plastered on their faces.
"Pretty sure I'm an arrow. And if I wasn't I'd go for Logan too. I'll give a heads up if I change my mind."
"Good do that. I'll need to find a place to bury you first."
"Oh, so if he gets a girlfriend its fine but a boy is out of the question? You need therapy James…"
"And you'll need a dentist if don't drop it Kendall." James's final warning actually paid off, when they met the others Kendall half lied that he needed some advice from James on how to talk to a girl he actually liked for real. That's why Logan never suspected a thing.
When they went back to the party the only thing James did was be Carlos's wing man, Logan let himself relax and had some actual fun, Kendall spend his time wondering how much he should interfere in his friends' love life. He concluded that too much would make things worse and he should wait and see if luck would smile on him one day, besides he should get a love life for himself first with a nice down to earth girl preferably before he lost his mind playing match maker for his idiotic friends.
Hours later when they were making their way to the crossroad where they usually parted ways Carlos was the center of attention because he just simply couldn't shut up about all the dates he had made.
"Best party EVER!" Carlos threw a victorious fist towards the night sky.
"You just said that five minutes ago!" James said quite annoyed, Kendall stealing his spotlight every other day was barely bearable but apparently he had created a monster that he had lost all control over.
"Let him enjoy the moment James, he'll screw up on the actual dates without you there to watch him like a hawk." Kendall teased but Carlos was too lost in lala-land to pay attention.
"How many dates did you get buddy?"
"Three Logs! One with Alicia, one with Patty from the basketball team, and one with Vicky! Ha! Beat that James!"
"Wait Vicky? I didn't see you talk with Vicky. That's not right dude she's into Logan! Bros over hoes!" James faked a complaint, Kendall tried not to launch himself over at James and pummel the Face beyond recognition and Logan started to laugh.
"That one he actually made under my supervision James, when you and Kendall were off talking. She's fine and all but she's not my type." James made a face, Kendall threw him a smug smirk that rivaled James's own and threw an arm over Carlos's shoulder to congratulate him.
"See James, Logan knows how to share UNLIKE YOU!" Carlos rubbed in ignoring that James was the one that set the other two up in the first place.
"What an ingrate! At least Loggie is thankful for the double dates I get him. Aren't you Logan?" Logan stopped walking suddenly, he threw his head down to the direction of the sidewalk, maybe he wasn't ready to come out yet but at least he could take one small step out of the self-afflicting torture cycle.
"Actually James if you don't mind, how about you stop setting me up and I try to find someone on my own…not that I'm not grateful or anything but…but it's kind of a pressure to have you there, I need to do this on my own eventually, besides you don't exactly know my type…" Logan was blushing and James fell silent, Kendall wanted to do a victory dance while Carlos stared at them confused.
"You're sure about that?" James asked and he couldn't control the worry on his tone or the sweat that started to come out of his palms. Logan raised his head and looked up to those beautiful hazel eyes he so admired and longed for; he took a big breath in and nodded.
"Yeah I'm sure. If I want help with a girl I'll ask. I can count on you right?" He bit his lower lip which James secretly found adorable and then it was his turn nod.
"Yeah just say the word I'm there for you, I have your back, don't worry. Always."
"Good. Thanks dude." Then Logan felt lighthearted having shed of some of the burden in his heart and after patting James on the shoulder he picked up his pace again. He walked by Carlos's side and even though James tried to avoid him Kendall slid by his.
"You're going to lose." He said in singsong whispering in James's ear.
"He said girl Knight, besides I can't lose, it's a win-win situation for me if you somehow magically manage to keep your end of the bargain."
"Keep dreaming big James and maybe one day who knows, your time will come. Maybe you can bring us along for the ride. I'll be proud of you whatever you do with your life man just not as proud as him."
"Thanks Ken." He threw an arm over his shoulder and then the brotherhood moment broke into tiny pieces when Logan who walked in the front, back turned on the other two, stopped cold once more but this time it was because of something Carlos had said.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE ALL NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT?!" He gave himself a face palm while Carlos died on the spot.
"Jaaames I messed the dates! Why didn't you say something man! You got to help me fix this!" Carlos started to moan but James passed right between them strutting like the crown prince while Kendall shook his head in disapproval.
"No! You're on your own Garcia. I like to be appreciated thank you very much!" And as James put his hands in his pockets he began to sing to himself because he just loved the sound of his own voice, while Carlos went after him pleading and begging and making threats about grabbing his pappy's gun.
"What do you see in him again?" Kendall asked Logan with such nonchalance Logan didn't even notice the question.
"Sometimes I ask myself...WAIT WHAT DID JUST YOU SAY!" Logan screamed and his heart combusted in flames, while Kendall just shrugged his shoulders.
"Nothing I just want to know why you keep calling him your best friend. That's all."
"Oh…that…yeah…that's what I thought you meant…you know…I…"Then Kendall let a small laugh out and bopped his head up and down throwing an arm around Logan's shoulder.
"It's okay genius, take your time. You're smart, I have faith in you."
"Kendall…" Logan was about to cry, he read underneath the lines but he wasn't sure if Kendall was just messing with him or if he was showing his support.
"Don't blow a wire Logs. We need to get girlfriends first and take James down a peg. Deal?" He lied seeing Logan was about to fall apart and he was satisfied with all the progress he had made in one night so he set things back to normal.
"Deal…"Logan smiled warmly and then added a quick thanks that Kendall pretended not to have heard.
