"Kendall, look at me," Logan said, forcing Kendall to look at him. Once they were eye to eye, Logan noticed something within Kendall's eyes and took the chance to do what he's been. Logan closed his eyes and started kissing Kendall. Kendall's eye's got wide and he started kissing back.
They remained like that for a few moments before they broke apart with a huff.
"Wow," Kendall said, "now I see why Camille likes kissing you."
"And why Jo was pissed about losing you," Logan said, then an awkward silence came about.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Katie asked, walking into the room.
"Not much, why do you ask little sis?" Kendall asked.
"Because both of your faces are red and Jo was over here looking for your stuff. Luckily Carlos told me you two were over, otherwise I would of let her have a fun day."
"So you're saying Carlos did something good? All on his own?" Logan asked, before getting up and going to the bathroom.
"What's his problem? All that happened is he kissed you." Katie said.
"You saw that?" Kendall asked. "Oh please, don't tell anyone about that, please!"
"I won't, because I know your secret as well." Katie said.
"Wait, what do you know?" Kendall asked.
"Just meet to my demands when I make them and I won't ruin you or Logan." Katie said, walking out of the room.
"Sorry I just got up," Logan said coming back.
"Katie saw us," Kendall said, staring at nothing.
"What?"
"Katie was watching the whole time. If we don't do what she wants when she wants it… she'll tell someone. Most likely Carlos and James." Kendall said.
"Please not James, he won't accept it." Logan said. "I already talked to him about it."
"Wait, what are you saying?" Kendall asked.
"Is the person you like a guy?" Logan asked. "Because I like guys and if there's a chance it could be me… I would like to know, in case this were to escalate into something."
"Well… um… yeah, it is. But I'm not sure how to tell them… Carlos knows I like a guy and he doesn't care." Kendall said.
"Can you tell me who it is?" Logan asked, hope filling him all through his body.
"I wish, cause I'm not sure if I truly like him or if it'll be a passing thing. But I know that when I figure it out, I'll ask him out." Kendall said. "Do you like me like that?"
"Oh.. um" Logan stuttered before Kendall kissed him again, this kiss not being as long as the last one.
"I saw something in your eyes that was so cute, I couldn't help but to kiss you…" Kendall said, then stood up. "I'm going to go and take a nap now."
"May I join you?" Logan asked.
"Sure," Kendall said, his heart sputtering out of control.
They went into Kendall's bedroom and shut the door, not caring about locking it. Kendall taking off his shirt and pants, feeling more free when only sleeping in his boxers, while Logan kept his pants on but took his shirt off, due to the fact that Kendall had already taken his pants off. They both got under the covers and Kendall, sleeping on the left side, wrapped his arms around Logan, whom was on the right, and sort of placed his head in the crook of Logan's neck right before wishing the smart boy good night while earning one back.
"James, why do you think that Kendall broke up with Jo?" Carlos asked.
"I don't know, but if it means she's free, I'm fine with whatever it may be." James said.
"What if it was for a guy?" Carlos asked.
"Then I'd kill him, then date Jo." James said.
"Why? I wouldn't care if Kendall liked guys, I doubt Logan would either. You're the only one who cares. We all grew up together and were only apart at nights when we weren't old enough or weren't allowed to spend the nights at each other's house. We know everything about each other, so-" Carlos started.
"Carlos, just leave it go. I don't like the thought and that's final. Okay? Now, leave me to tan." James said.
"Fine, well I'm going to go hang with my two straight friends who don't have an issue with other things about each other." Carlos said, trying to pierce James with his words.
"Fine, go, I don't care." James said, turning so his back was towards the sky.
Carlos got out and started up for the room. Once Carlos got there, he noticed that Kendall and Logan weren't in the living room, so he checked everywhere but their bedrooms. He tried calling them, but didn't get an answer. He went to Katie's room and asked her, she told him that they were sleeping, so he went to Logan's room but didn't find Logan, nor Kendall. So Carlos tried Kendall's room and saw them in the same bed, both without their shirts, so Carlos started thinking that they had sex, and with Kendall's arms wrapped around Logan. Both looking comfortable and completely happy. Carlos took a picture of it and, to his dismay, woke them up.
"Carlos, why did you wake us?" Kendall asked.
"Because you two were asleep together!" Carlos said.
"So, we've slept in the same bed before, each of us have done that. Remember?" Logan said.
"Yeah, but look," Carlos said, showing them the picture, "it looks more like the two of you had sex."
"And?" Kendall and Logan asked.
"James plans on going after Jo once he finds your reasoning for dumping her, and if he saw this, you two would be asleep… forever." Carlos said.
"WHAT?" Kendall and Logan asked, while Kendall was putting his pants back on.
"Yeah, I asked him his side of the reasoning, knowing it already, and he said if it was for a guy he'd kill you then go after Jo." Carlos said.
"He's being cumbersome about this as with being a cynic in general." Logan said, getting looks from the other two about it. "Cumbersome is a bother, and cynic is single minded in a way." Logan defined.
"Ok," Kendall said, as the two boys put their shirts on. "Carlos, I got to talk to Logan about something, will you please leave the room?"
"Ok?" Carlos said, leaving the room, in hopes of knowing.
"What are we going to do about what happened earlier?" Kendall asked.
"It doesn't mean we're together, I was just saying that I like you." Logan said.
"And I do you," Kendall said, accidentally letting it slip out.
"You do?" Logan asked, getting a nod. "Then will you go out with me?"
"Not yet, when we get everything situated then I will. Plus, you're still with Camille." Kendall said.
"I guess, what if I break up with her, will you secretly date me?" Logan asked, sounding desperate to be with Kendall.
"Ok, sure, but no one is allowed to know. Not Katie, or Carlos, not my mom. It's just between us. Got it?" Kendall asked.
"Ok, but what do we do when we're not alone?" Logan asked.
"We were friends first, right? We know how to be friends on a larger part." Kendall said, giving Logan a peck on his cheek. "Now go break-up with Camille."
"Ok," Logan said, getting up and leaving Kendall's room.
"What was that all about?" Carlos asked.
"Just getting things settled." Logan said, then looked over Carlos's outfit. "Did you go swimming?"
"Yeah, you wanna come? There's not many down there, and Camille will find you easily." Carlos said.
"Sure," Logan said, going to his room and changing after taking a trip to the bathroom.
"You should go and get that looked at by a doctor, dude, it's like every thirty minutes if you drink something and when you don't it's every hour." Carlos said.
"Well aren't you observant," Logan said, "I want to be a doctor, remember? I know what it is and there's not much anyone can do about it."
"Oh," Carlos sighed.
"Let's just have some fun, okay?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, maybe James will join in if enough girls join up." Carlos said.
"Maybe," Logan said, as the two ran down and started having fun.
After about a half hour, Camille came in looking a bit exotic.
"What's wrong?" Logan asked her.
"I need to tell you something." Camille said.
"And I need to tell you something," Logan said.
A couple moments passed and neither said a single thing until they both blurted out "I WANNA BREAK UP! WHAT? WHY? I like someone else."
"Ok," Camille said.
"Yeah, who do you like?" Logan asked.
"James," Camille said.
"Oh," Logan said, feeling as if he'd just got stabbed in the back with a short sword by Camille and James were the one to twist it and push him onto his back, forcing it to go all the way through.
"What about you?" Camille asked, preparing for the same feeling.
"I can't say, it'd be weird if anyone knew." Logan said.
"Wow," Camille said. "Instead of stabbing me in the back and killing me, you just made me feel some relief."
"Really?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, thanks," Camille said. "Later."
Camille walked away and Logan went back into the pool. He looked at Carlos and Carlos wrapped him into a hug, but after a few moments he broke off and found what he was feeling wasn't just excruciating but amorphous and he didn't know why. He dried off and ran up to the room.
"Hey Logan," Kendall's mom said, while walking to the room.
"Hey, Mama Knight," he said, trying to look mundane.
"What's wrong Logan?" she asked.
"Camille and I just broke up," Logan said.
"Oh, why?" she asked.
"She was breaking up with me for someone else, and I was breaking up with her for someone else. But I couldn't tell her who I was dumping her for and she found relief in that. While she was dumping me for James." Logan said, tears starting to stream from his eyes.
"Well then, talk to James about it, I bet he'll have your back. Isn't there a code among guys saying you don't date your friends' exes?" she asked.
"He doesn't care about codes, we recently found this out." Logan said.
"Well why not talk to Kendall about this, I bet he could help more than I could." She said. "Kendall and Jo have been apart more than enough times."
"And they are again," Logan said.
"What?" she asked, rushing herself to the complex to see her son.
"Hey mom," Kendall said, playing a game.
"You broke up with Jo?" Mamma Knight asked.
"Yeah, Carlos did for me… I don't like her anymore mom. I like someone else." Kendall said, slightly spacing his words.
"I don't care, she likes you a lot. Do you know the turmoil that you could have put that girl through?" she asked.
"She destroyed the whole first floor of Gustavo Records, mom. I can get the picture." Kendall said.
"You break up with Jo, and Logan is upset about his break up with Camille, I don't know what to do with the lot of you." She said.
"Wait, you did that today? You could have waited to do that you know. It might have been better for you, Logan." Kendall said, pausing the game and sharply turning his head, dropping the controller.
"I didn't want to wait, and even though I dumped her, she dumped me for James." Logan said.
"That isn't good," Kendall said, "in more ways than one."
"Wait, what are the two of you talking about?" Mamma Knight asked.
"Nothing," Kendall said. "Katie was good and we didn't have any issue. Actually we didn't see her all that much, she just appeared then was gone for a while, you could say."
"Kendall, I told you to watch her. You're grounded, other than school and work, being Gustavo calling for you, you're not allowed out of here, for an entire month." Mamma Knight said.
"What, mom really?" Kendall asked.
"Yes," she said. "And that means, no games, TV, phone, or computer. Now get to your room."
"Ok," Kendall said, Logan starting to follow. "What's wrong?" Kendall asked.
"When she told me it was James, it was like she stabbed me in the back and James turned the knife, then they both pushed me over. But coming up to see you, felt better. Like before it hit the floor, thrusting the object forward more, you caught me and took it out. Then healed me." Logan said.
"Wow, least she wasn't like Jo," Kendall said.
"Honestly, I was hoping for her to be like that so I didn't feel bad about it." Logan said.
"Haha," Kendall laughed. "That would be even scarier than Jo though. I think she'd actually hit you."
"Maybe," Logan laughed.
They just sat there for a bit, laughing at that thought. Until they stopped laughing, then they just looked at one another.
"He really is beautiful." Kendall though. "His nicely rounded head that sits so perfectly upon his perfectly smooth, kissablily long neck, his beautiful smile that lights up the room with his dark hazel eyes. I question how he gets his hair to stay up so perfectly. It looks so hot on him."
"He is the picture of perfection. With his cute dimples, and his dark orange hair that could also be dark blonde, to his amazing green eyes and his beautiful teeth and just shine like his personality." Logan thought. "I'm so happy to have him, I wonder if he had any clue how long I liked him."
Just then, they both leaned in to kiss each other but before that could happen, Kendall's mom walked in. The boys broke apart and she didn't really see their almost-kiss, but she did see something else.
"What's going on here?" she asked.
"We were talking," Kendall said.
"Oh, then what's with that?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" Kendall said, not getting up.
"Your hand is on Logan's crotch and his on yours." She said, pointing at them.
"OH," the boys said, removing their hands they didn't know were there.
"I understand you two broke up with those girls for other girls, but really… Don't need to make your friendship awkward by-" she said.
"MOM," Kendall interrupted.
"Well I'm just saying. Girls don't have the same parts as guys, which is what guys like about them." She said.
"Mom," Kendall groaned, causing both Kendall and Logan to blush.
"Mamma Knight, can I ask you something?" Logan asked.
"Sure, what's it about?" she asked.
"As I told you before I broke up with Camille because I had feelings for someone else, but now that I think of who it could be, because the person I like is always around just about the same people all the time, what would you say if I said it was a guy I ended up liking?" Logan said.
"Oh… I would ask that you would pack your things and find another place to live. I don't promote homosexuality." She said, causing some tears to come to both boys' face.
"What if I liked a guy?" Kendall asked.
"I would either figure a new mindset or ask you to leave as well. What's with you two and these hypothetical questions? I know you two are straight and have never shown any sign of being gay. So why ask that?" she said.
"We just wondered." Logan and Kendall said, both keeping the pain out of their voices.
Before anyone could say anything else, Logan's phone started ringing and Kelly's voice saying "LOGAN PICK UP YOUR PHONE!" started filling the room. Logan got up and answered it, leaving the room only to also use the bathroom.
"I guess you got to get to your job." Mamma Knight said.
"Mom, can I tell you something?" Kendall asked.
"Sure, you can tell me anything." She said.
"I've known this since the sixth grade… I'm… I'm… I am gay." Kendall said, tears streaming his face. They sat there, Kendall basically crying as his mom sat there not making any movements. "Can you please tell me what you think of what I just told you?"
