Author's note: Hello everyone. So, I've been gone from fanfiction for a while, with occasional updates, but I am always reading new pieces. While I was reading, I got this idea and knew I just had to write it; I'm hoping it'll do well. But I wouldn't be able to have written this without the help of some lovely people on faniction (nic98ole, Sum1cooler, After the FameandXxxAnimaniacxxX) So if you like it, please feel free to leave a review, recommend it to your friends and check out some of the lovely authors above stories if you haven't already. Happy reading!
This chapter introduces Logan and Carlos. While I do plan on there being lots of Cargan, Kames is the dominant pairing of this fic. Perhaps if you guys think I do a good job writing them, you can let me know if you want a Cargan story. I started out writing Kames and that is my OTP, but someday (maybe soon) I'd like to try and branch out by doing a Jagan.
Note: that there are tones of Big Time Rush real-life references in this story but it is not a real people slash. If anyone is confused by anything or does not get a reference, feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to fill you in. And also, in no way do the portrayal of the real life BTR girlfriend(s) in this story reflect how I really feel about them. Although, if you really are curious on my opinions, just ask. I love to talk BTR. :)
"Dude, my life is in the shits."
Kendall gave a light chuckle as he finished chopping up red peppers in the kitchen. "What happened this time?"
"Hey," James cried out defensively from where he lay on the bright orange sofa. "I'm not that bad." Kendall gave him the infamous Knight-look, thankful he had such bushy eyebrows as they added to the effect. "Okay, fine." James stood up and sat on the stole directly across from the blonde. "I think Jett wants to get serious."
Kendall couldn't help but thank the lord that when his mother taught him how to cook, she always emphasized on not cutting near your fingers. Because with the way the knife swerved, Kendall was more than glad that it was the peppers that were disfigured rather than his fingers. "Damn it. . .Why do you think that?"
"I don't know. Why is it so hard to believe?" James inquired as he watched the blonde scrap the messed up peppers and start again. "I can be in a serious relationship, you know."
"No, I'm not questioning that. Well. . .maybe a little bit. But Jett is definitely not the kind of guy to settle down."
James just shrugged. "Sometimes I wish I was straight."
Kendall laughed. It was no secret that the brunette was gay, heck it was no secret that Kendall himself was bi. "I think you tested that theory out years ago."
James groaned loudly and pushed himself off the stole. "Dude, I told you I was sorry!"
"Calm down. I didn't mean it like that and you already did the dibs rule. I already told you I forgive you."
Well, not entirely. . .
Years ago, back before the day him and James had their drunk-mistake and Kendall found out James was gay, Kendall had been dating a girl named Jo. Beautiful, blonde, sweet. . .just about everything a guy like himself could want in a girl. He remembers taking her home to meet his mama and inviting her out to hang with himself, James and his old friend Logan, and she just always seemed to fit in wherever she went or with whoever she hung out with. Kendall even thought more a moment that he might have been in love with her.
Until he took her to his graduation party.
His graduation party had also been James' party as well, because they were the best of buds and even at 18 they were practically inseparable. The thing about them, though, was that they had this thing called a Dibs-List. It listed everything they could call dibs on, like food, cars and girls, and if one of them broke the dibs rule, they had to run around the block in their boxers. They had this "list" since they were in pre-k. Obviously, Kendall had dibs on Jo. So when the graduation party came, and James was a little too drunk, Kendall ended up walking in on James fucking the life out of Jo in the walk-in closet in Mama Knight's room.
James apologized too many times to count and blamed it on a drunken mistake, which Kendall completely understood, having been drunk once or twice before and done some stupid shit. But even if the blonde did understand, he couldn't not let the dibs rule slide.
So when he was sure James was nice and sober at the brunette's brother Shane's wedding, Kendall pulled out the dibs rule and watched in laughter as James ran around the wedding party in his boxer-briefs.
"Why did you forgive me so easily?" James asked timidly.
Kendall gave his own shrug and went back to slicing peppers. "Just knew what it was like to make a drunken mistake."
There was no way in hell that Kendall was ever going admit that when he saw James naked, glistening with sweat and blown pupils, he secretly wished it was himself on the receiving end instead of Jo.
James sighed and turned to grab his shoes by the door. "Well, that reminds me. Carlos is coming over to stay for a little bit."
"When?"
"About 3:00. I think."
Kendall hummed in response and slid the peppers into the boiling pot on the stove, feeling a weird yet slightly arousing breeze on his neck.
"What are you making?" James asked as he looked into the pot over the blonde's shoulder.
Kendall shivered involuntarily from the breath that tickled the hair on his neck. "Spicy omelets." He managed to choke out, breath ragged.
James gave him a questioning eye. "You okay? You look like you're about to piss yourself but you're not doing the potty dance."
"Yep. Fine."
James sighed and gave him a pat on his back, hand lower then need be, before making his way to the door. "I'm gonna head out and pick Carlos up from the airport. You know, he likes kids. You should call Logan up to see if he wants to have dinner with us."
Kendall just nodded, unable to look the brunette in the eyes after the weird feelings in his body started settling down. "I'll do that. See ya'."
"Bye."
When Kendall was sure he heard the door shut, he stopped what he was doing and took a deep breath, trying to calm his insides down completely. Ever since that one night, his body always reacts weird to James.
That's a lie. . .
His body was reacting weird to James even before that one night. He just always thought it was teenage hormones. But he's 24 and his body is still doing this.
Maybe I'm just sick with a deadly disease that is slowly eating me alive. . .but that wouldn't explain why it only eats at me when I'm near James. . .unless James is some alien sent down to earth to try and destroy me. . .
Kendall shook his head, letting his nerdy thoughts float out his ears, reaching over to grab the phone.
Maybe I just need to call Logan. . .
. . . Review? :)
