A/N: Hi! Okay, I'm sorry this update came slower than I would've expected. Still, it could be worse, right? Alrighty kiddos, lets get on with it.

*~*~So some of you are gonna be really pissed at James for a moment but I swear it'll go away~*~*

James smirked to himself. He had a plan. He had a good plan. Of course, if the plan didn't work, he had no idea what he'd do. Then again, if the plan did work, he still had no idea what to do. Actually, he didn't really know which outcome was the better one, so he really wouldn't know if it worked or not. Maybe it working was inevitable, since no matter what, he'd get some sort of result. Then again, whatever that result was would probably create problems. Maybe it wasn't such a great plan. But it was a plan.

Kendall was standing at the counter, taking something out of a cupboard. James watched as he pulled out a cup. He gulped once and crossed the room before Kendall could go to the fridge or wherever.

Just like that, heart racing, James grabbed Kendall by the shoulders and turned him around to face him. He leaned forward and kissed Kendall, still holding his shoulders. Kendall froze with no idea what to do other than return the kiss, his lips moving with James's for their split second sloppy kiss.

"Nope," James said when he pulled his mouth off of Kendall's, their lips making a popping sound as they disconnected, "Thanks buddy."

"James, what the fuck was that?" Kendall yelled, grabbing James's arm so he couldn't run away.

"Well, you see, it was my plan-"

"Your plan? What plan was that?"

"My plan was-"

"What if Logan saw! He'd think I was cheating on him!"

"What did you say?" Logan asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Logan, I, um, hi," Kendall said awkwardly.

"Why would I think you were cheating?"

"You see, because, um, James, well, we, um."

"You what?"

"I kissed Kendall," James suddenly blurted out, "but it was nothing, I just, I didn't mean to, and um, it was a-"

"Did you kiss back?" Logan looked straight at Kendall, his pale face flat and unreadable.

"I- well, I- um," Kendall froze, wide-eyed, like a deer in headlights. He couldn't lie to Logan. "Yes," he finally said, "I did. But Logan, it was a mistake, it meant nothing, we just-"

Logan said nothing, just stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut behind him.

Kendall turned to run after him, and James called out behind him.

"Kendall! Wait! I'm sorry! I'll talk to Logan! I can explain this! It was a plan!"

"Shut up James, just shut up. I'm going to find Logan," he closed the door to 2J, leaving James standing alone in the kitchen.

"What's going on?" a small voice came from behind him.

James spun around to see Carlos standing in the doorway to his and Logan's room, his favorite blanket wrapped around him. His eyes looked tired, as they only did when Carlos had just woken up. His short black hair was ruffled and he didn't even have his helmet on yet.

"I-" James pointed to the door, but no words came out of his mouth. He just stood there and looked at Carlos, not having the heart to tell him everything that had just happened right then.

"I'm just sorry in advance, okay?" he told him, barely able to keep eye contact with the smaller boy.

James tried to forget the look of Carlos's sad and confused eyes as he turned on his heel and walked out the door of 2J to go find Kendall and Logan and hopefully clean up the mess he had made.

Bad plan. Bad plan. Very bad plan.

~*~*Out to the hallway!*~*~

"Then why did you kiss back!" James heard Logan's shaky voice yelling from down the hallway. He wished they'd be quieter, the last thing he needed was the entire Palm Woods hearing about everything that'd been going on over the past few days.

"I don't know!" Kendall hissed, considerably lower than Logan, "I didn't know what else to do! He just came up and grabbed my shoulders and kissed me. And I mean, you know James is stronger than me! It's not like he was raping me, I wasn't gonna fight him off! And then he pulls away, and he's all 'Nope, thanks buddy!' He was saying it was a plan or some shit, and I just, I don't know."

"Does he like you?" Logan replied, this time quieted down.

James froze, waiting for the answer.

"I don't think so," Kendall decided after deliberating for a moment.

James relaxed a little, glad Kendall hadn't been too mislead.

"Look, Logan," Kendall told him, "In James's defense, he's been really confused. I think he was just trying to figure things out."

"I guess," Logan replied, starting to sound more understanding, "it must suck to be confused like that."

James cringed. Did they pity him? He did not like to be pitied. Of course, at this point, it was better than them running around calling him a dickhead.

"Yeah, we should probably go talk to him," Kendall agreed.

'Shit,' James thought, they were coming his way. He could hear the couple's footsteps going around the corner, and he kind of just wanted to melt into the wall.

"James?" they asked together when they saw him.

"Oh, hey," James said, "I thought I heard you coming. Look, about my plan-"

"Were you eavesdropping?" Kendall asked, motioning between him and Logan.

James gulped and bit his lip, looking anywhere but at the two boys standing in front of him.

"Just tell us about your plan," Logan said, rolling his eyes.

"Okay," James blushed, "well, I kissed Kendall because I wanted to know if I like guys, or just, um-"

"Carlos," Kendall finished for him.

"Yeah. But when I kissed Kendall, I felt nothing-"

"Nothing," Kendall confirmed, looking at Logan.

"So I guess my plan worked?" he finished.

Logan stood there and looked at him for a moment.

"Okay," he finally said, "that actually does make sense. Just don't kiss Kendall anymore, got it?"

James nodded vigorously to show that he'd listen to the smaller boy, "Got it. I promise."

"James?"

He turned at the sound of the voice he'd recognize anywhere to see Carlos walking out of 2J, dressed in his boxers and a t-shirt, but thankfully without the blanket.

"Yeah?" James responded.

"What were you sorry about?" Carlos asked, his voice unsteady and quiet.

"Come on Carlos, I need to talk to you," James said gently, feeling bad about what he'd already put Carlos through, even before that morning.

*~*~Ta da!~*~*

A/N: Ok, this did not come out how I planned it at all, I completely changed course when I was writing, but I like it better this way. The other way was a lot less dramatic. Also, you guys have no idea how painful it was for me to write this for two reasons:

1) Kames is my OTP and I hate writing a bad Kames kiss that was a mistake or whatever. If that scene had been in most of my fics, they'd make out intensely then fuck like rabbits and fall in love.

2) There was sad Carlos and sad Carlos shatters my heart and stomps on it til it's crushed into a million little pieces and I feel like an absolute bitch for writing it.

So there you have it. Review por favor!
