Hi again! :) Thank you all of you who favorited/alerted me and this story! Never in my life would I think people would actually enjoy my writing :P Special thanks to Ahmazingly-Weird, xUndisclosed, and Sum1cooler for reviewing the last chapter! Reviews are like gelato on a hot summer afternoon :3 Oh, and I forgot to say, but I've alluded to something different in every chapter. You know, just a little something fun for you guys to figure out as you read :) Here's a hint for the last chapter: The allusion lies in a two-shot Cargan story on here! Can you figure it out?

Anyways, here's the next chapter!

Carlos woke up with a start.

What was I dreaming about? The boy questioned as he struggled to remember what caused him to wake up so suddenly. He stretched and looked up at the clock near his bed:

9:30 AM

"Ugh… It's too early." He said aloud as he rubbed his eyes.

The Latino boy looked over to find that the pale brunette was nowhere in sight and his bed already made. He sighed I don't know how Logie does it… Well, I should get ready. He told himself as he crawled out of his sweat-soaked sheets. Carlos stumbled to the bathroom and looked at his reflection with bloodshot eyes. I need to sleep more…

He imagined falling asleep in a certain brunette's arms, waking up next to his best friend and one true lo-

Carlos violently shook the thought away. I have to stop torturing myself. This isn't helping. He peeled his shirt off his sticky body in disgust. Obviously, not a very good dream last night.

He took off the rest of his clothes, showered, and got dressed. As he stepped out of his and Logan's room, he was greeted by a strange silence.

"Hello?"

"Oh hey!" Carlos turned to see Logan pop his head from behind a wall. "You hungry?"

"Uh… Duh!" The Latino boy exclaimed as he sat down at the table. "Where is everyone?"

"Hm?" Logan turned around as he headed for the stove, "They all went down to the pool a while ago. We're all gonna catch a movie later and James and Kendall wanted to hit the pool before we go."

"Oh okay… Then what are you still doing here? Didn't you want to go too?" Carlos asked

"Sure I did," Logan said, "but I wanted to make sure you were fed before you started freaking out about where everyone went." Logan teased

Damn it Logie… You're not making this any easier for me. "Pfffttt… I can take care of myself!" Carlos scoffed

Logan smiled and rolled his eyes, "Suuure you can, and what would you have done for breakfast?"

"Well I would… Um…" Carlos scrunched his face as he thought about what he would eat, "Corn dogs!"

Logan laughed as he tipped the contents of the pan onto two plates, "And that's exactly why I didn't let you make your own breakfast."

Logan served Carlos and himself their breakfast of eggs and sausages. Carlos looked at his plate with wide eyes and screamed, "THANK YOU LOGAN!" while successfully tackling the taller boy to the ground.

Logan, taken by surprise by the sudden outburst of affection, gave the shorter boy a quizzical look and said "It's nothing; I mean it's just sausage and eggs."

He's so warm… Carlos thought to himself not hearing Logan's remark and burying his face in the brunette's firm, but soft chest. I could stay here forever…

"Uh… Carlos?"

Carlos quickly got up and turned around to hide his heated face. "Oh! Sorry about that…" Oh. Crap. I shouldn't have gotten so into that hug…

Logan got up shrugged, "Don't worry about it! But if this becomes a regular thing, I might need to borrow your helmet." He joked.

Carlos gave a sigh of relief, Thank God he didn't notice. And if he did, at least he didn't say anything. Oh Logie… How can you be so nice to me? "Well, you'll have to wrench it out of my cold dead hands before I give that to you!"

"Oh really now?" Logan challenged.

The two boys stared at each other for a moment. Then both made a mad dash for their room abandoning their breakfast for the moment. Carlos reached their room first and jumped forward to grab his helmet lying on his nightstand, but fell two feet short of his headgear onto his bed. Logan, however, saw his opening and jumped over Carlos to reach the prize. Seeing that the paler boy was about to grab the helmet, Carlos quickly pushed himself forward and knocked the helmet onto the floor before Logan could take it from him, resulting in Logan's landing on his own bed empty-handed. Both boys simultaneously fell to the floor that separated their two beds and grabbed the helmet at the same time. The two wrestled and rolled around the room fighting for dominance for a few minutes before Logan finally got to his feet and was able to pull the headgear out of Carlos' hands.

"See? I told ya!" Logan cried triumphantly as he placed the helmet on his head.

"Okay okay fine I guess you didn't have to kill me to get it." Carlos feigned exasperation.

Logan chuckled and turned in a circle, "So how do I look?"

Like the man of my dreams has gotten even dreamier. "Like the nerd of nerds has gotten even nerdier" Carlos laughed.

"Alright, alright enough games. We should eat before the breakfast I slaved over for you get cold." Logan said good-humoredly.

Carlos just rolled his eyes at his best friend's dramatics and smiled as he followed the now protected boy out into the kitchen to finish their breakfast. Well, at least we can be best friends and have fun together, even though it's not what I want exactly. Carlos thought as he talked and joked with Logan as they ate. If he only kne-… No. I can't ruin what we have now. At least Logie's in my life. It's better than not having him at all.

Both of the boys finish and Logan begins to wash the dishes.

"Nuh-uh." Carlos grabs Logan's hand, noticing how soft it was, "You cooked breakfast, now I clean the dishes!"

"Bu-"

"No buts! It's only fair! Go down to the pool. I kept you from the fun already."

Logan hesitated and was about to protest again, when Carlos shot him a look. In response, the pale boy just sighed and thanked the Latino boy before giving him a quick hug. Carlos blushed and went right to his dishes.

The taller boy walked to the door and shouted, "I'll see you down there alright, Carlos?"

"Okay!" Came the reply.

Carlos heard the door shut and sighed as he finished the dishes. He dried off his hands and grabbed a towel and closed the door behind him, heading for the pool.

Logie…
