One Night in Bali

Chapter 3 – The Hedgehog's Dilemma

As the huge jetliner docked into a jetbridge of Singapore's Changi Airport Terminal 3, the crew prepared the passengers for disembarkation. Kendall and Logan, being the only two passengers of First Class, used the privilege of priority disembarkation before those in business and economy classes. They did not want to look snooty all sitting pretty in first class while the other passengers could see them as they pass through the door which is between the first and economy classes of the lower deck. And besides, they're both feeling excited to step onto the terra firma of the city-state called Singapore for the very first time.

As they followed the signs indicating arrivals and immigration, Kendall and Logan walked side by side. Briefly forgetting the torment of their true feelings for each other, they marvel at the beauty, design and functionality of one of the newest terminals, of one of the most highly-praised airports in the world. The floors alternate between cream carpets and shiny speckled white and black tiles. They observe the airiness of the arrival corridor as they continue their walk towards the immigration section. They even joke about how Changi is a far cry of a superior airport from LAX.

But as they continue with their walk and their amazement at the design of this Singaporean airport, Logan is once again pulled back by his mind into his personal torment. He wanted Kendall so bad. He want Kendall to be his boyfriend. No, his husband. And as his adorable face of amazement at the sights turned into a serious expression of deep thought, Logan recalls the emotions he had while they were still on their way to Singapore…

As they alight from the car driven by Kendall's brother, Kevin, Logan picks up his luggage from the trunk of the black Rolls-Royce and puts it on the walkway. As he lifts his gaze up, he sees Kendall lifting his own luggage from the trunk. Logan looks on in admiration at the love of his life. Kendall really doesn't seem that skinny, Logan thinks. "I think he's sexy-slim, or something like that." As Kendall's face contorts as he exerts effort in lifting the bag, Logan is spellbound at the way Kendall scrunches his nose up and as he groans as he finally lets the bag drop onto the pathway. Then suddenly Kendall looks at Logan and smiles because he is excited about the flight. Logan is quickly thrown back to reality as the green eyes of his blonde best friend meet with his dark brown eyes. Logan then quickly changes his gaze to the trunk lid as Kendall's brother closes it. Kendall jokes, "Hey Logie, still sleepy? Yeah I know you usually nap at this time after lunch, but I think this is the ideal flight time so that we can arrive in Singapore without much traffic as we leave the airport there." Logan nods and smiles, relieved that Kendall didn't figure out he had been staring at him all this time.

Logan then comes back to reality in Singapore as Kendall beckons him to go first before him in the immigration queue. Logan gets his disembarkation card from his shirt pocket and holds it in his left hand. Kendall then positions himself behind Logan. Even though it was 3 in the morning, the airport was bustling with activity. Passengers from large and small jets from all parts of the world converge at the immigration area. Kendall and Logan both realize it was a good thing they alighted ahead instead of waiting for the rest of the A380 passengers to disembark. They estimated that there were probably more than 400 passengers on that single jet, and luckily they were already in line as the rest of the passengers from that Singapore Airlines flight also began queueing. Luckily, Singapore's immigration officers are efficient, and although the queue where the two best friends were on initially had 20 people before them, the line was moving rather faster than expected. Still, there was a moderate amount of time to wait, and Kendall and Logan started chatting about a lot of stuff, about what they plan to do after they unload their luggage at the hotel, or rather, serviced apartment, what to eat (whether to try Asian food or stick to Western fastfood for the meantime) and how to get around. Kendall also brought out some tourist brochures which he got along the way as they walked towards the immigration counters. As they continue chatting and joking, Kendall puts his hands on Logan's shoulders. Logan found the sensation to be electrifying and ethereal. "Kendall's hands in contact with me…" Logan thought to himself. He relished how slightly firm Kendall's grip on the brunette's shoulders was, and he found it rather relaxing… So relaxing that his mind made him recall what he was thinking aboard the flight…

As they boarded the plane and sat down, Logan saw that Kendall instinctively raised the privacy partition separating their two suites, leaving them able to see each other and talk to each other. Logan liked that. And as they settled into their seats, they began to chat as two cabin crew members asked them what they would like to drink, as part of the pre-boarding service for first class passengers. Logan asked for gin and tonic, and Kendall asked just for mango juice.

"Alcohol again, Logie?" Kendall asked, with one eyebrow raised to poke fun at the drink-happy Logan.

"Of course! It's gonna be a wild vacation, so I wanna start it wild! Just kidding. I was just in the mood for gin and tonic." Logan replied, and sticks his tongue out at his best friend.

But inside his mind, Logan thought of drinking a bit to get his mind off Kendall. "Fuck, these brown and cream cabin colours make his green eyes stand out, and they're beautiful," Logan thought to himself.

And as they receive and polish off their drinks, the rest of the boarding procedures aboard the aircraft continued, and in a few minutes, with a rare opportunity for their flight to take off on-time instead of getting stuck on the tarmac for hours, the A380 is then airborne. A few more minutes and the seat belt sign is turned off, and Kendall and Logan began to unwind with their iPads, the IFE and whatever buttons they can play with inside their suites.

As they eat their inflight afternoon snack, and another round of gin and tonic for Logan, and Coke Zero for Kendall, Logan thought of how special this experience is. At first he tried to concentrate that it was an awesome plan to go on a flight to Singapore for the very first time, and with his best friend. However, he really couldn't fool himself into seeing Kendall as just his best friend. Kendall is his love. Kendall is his life! Should he admit his feelings for him? But what if Kendall is straight? Yeah, it's been a long time since Kendall had a girlfriend, and has been single for years, but that doesn't automatically mean he's gay or bi, right? Logan asked himself. If Kendall is gay or bi, will he make the first move? But Logan wonders that Kendall could be wary since he just broke up with Makenzie, and Kendall could be thinking he's straight. "But should I risk our friendship by admitting how much I've really loved him since we became best friends?" Logan worryingly asks himself as he takes a bite of one of the kiwifruit on his plate. As the wave of sweetness and sourness of the fruit travel from his tongue, to the inside of his cheeks and to his cheek muscles, Logan suddenly felt a jolt as if his mind became clear, and he thought to himself: Yes, I will admit to Kendall how much I really love him. I tried to be with Makenzie because I thought I would have no chance with Kendall, but Makenzie turned out to be a totally different person, and I'm sure things will never work out between me and her. And besides, it's Kendall I really love. I can't fight this feeling anymore. I will tell him I love him, and to hell with whatever happens next. If he wants to punch me or leave me in Singapore or Bali all by myself, then so be it. I want to be honest with him. I love him.

The flight continues and as Kendall takes a nap, Logan looks out the window and wonders when would the ideal moment be… Right now on this flight? At the Singapore airport? At the hotel in Singapore? Somewhere romantic there? Or in Bali? At a beach there? Or a special romantic dinner? Where? When? I want Kendall to know what I really feel about him, and I hope he loves me back, or learns to love me back, so that I will finally be complete when we return to the States. Kendall interrupts his thought as he wakes up and greets him "Hey, Logie!" with his adorable "Kendalley" groggy smile. Logan panicks a bit about how to bring his thoughts back to thinking of Kendall as his best friend, not as a future boyfriend. Luckily Kendall thought Logan was deep in thought about his breakup with Makenzie, and Logan found an alibi.

As the flight continues and bed time came, Logan turned over and looked at the sleeping blonde. Kendall is smiling in his sleep! Logan thought to himself, nearly saying "awwww" at the adorable blonde. Then after a few minutes, he hears Kendall trying to say something… he's… meowing?... and he's trying to move sideways… Logan gets worried and thinks Kendall is having a nightmare. "Kindle? Kindle! Kindle! Kindle! Oh man, hey Kindle? Kindle. KINDLE!" Kendall finally wakes up, then swears loudly and looks at Logan in horror…

Then as they go back to sleep, as he greets Kendall good night, Logan looks at Kendall, as his emerald eyes slowly close and apparently quickly goes back to sleep. Logan quietly mouths, "I love you, Kindle" before laying his head over his pillow and closing his eyes…

Logan is once again brought back to his senses as Kendall taps him to tell him it's his turn at the immigration counter. The friendly female officer smiles and greets Logan even before she opens his passport and reads his disembarkation form. "Hi Mr. Logan Henderson!" the officer says. "Welcome to Singapore! My son and I are big fans of your show and songs. I'm honoured to process your tourist papers so you could visit my country," she says with the typical Singaporean friendly smile. Logan blushes at the instant recognition, and thanks her, and compliments how beautiful the airport is. The officer is happy to encourage Logan that she's sure he and Kendall will enjoy their stay there. As soon as his passport receives the immigration stamp, Logan is now officially allowed into Singapore. In less than a minute, Kendall also is now officially allowed into Singapore, after a brief welcome from the officer-slash-Rusher as well. As they continue walking, Kendall and Logan both blush at how they were recognized by the officer. "Wow, are we really THAT famous?" Logan asks. "I guess so!" Kendall sheepishly answers as he puts one arm over the brunette's shoulder as they continue walking towards the baggage claim area.

As Kendall pulls out a cart for their two luggages, Logan looks around to see the cavernous space of the arrival baggage area. The ceiling was composed of complex square lighting and slanted gray things that either look like metal or something. There were rows upon rows of tall walls with plenty of greenery on them. There were also palm trees. "Are these even real?" Logan wonders, and pinches the trunk. "Oh my god, it's real!" Logan squeals softly. Kendall notices and gives him the cutest smile ever. Logan almost melted at the sight of Kendall smiling so sweetly at him, but manages to maintain his composure. Kendall was trying as well to control himself from running towards the amused Logan to hug him and kiss him. Logan was soooo adorable looking around the place and then pinching some random tree to check if it was real, Kendall thought.

And as they wait for their luggage at the designated baggage belt, Logan once again drifts into the past…

As they wait for the gentle thud of the aircraft touching the runway, Kendall and Logan are confused by the sudden roar of the humming engines, followed by shaking of the entire cabin, and they feel a downward pressure pushing them down their seats. At the exact same time, the thought that they might be crashing entered their minds.

As realization sets in, Logan looks at Kendall, exactly the same time Kendall looks at him. Logan will never forget the look on Kendall's eyes… His bright green eyes, usually with a tiny dot in the middle, is different. The pupils in his eyes are huge, and the green in his eyes is now just thin rings around the black holes.

Thoughts race in Logan's mind… Are we gonna die? Why now? I haven't said 'I love you to Kendall!' yet! I need to say it now…

Logan then grabs Kendall's hand so he could at least touch Kendall one last time before their aircraft plummets either to the sea or hit the ground and break up. Logan then appreciates Kendall's gesture of putting his other hand over his friend's hand.

Logan wanted to shout "I love you" to Kendall, but Kendall's mouth opened first.

"Logie… Logan… I…"

Logan's mind raced… "Oh my god, is he going to say 'I love you' to me? He loves me? He will say he loves me and then before we could even express our love for each other, our lives will end this way?"

And suddenly the intercom dings and the captain announces that they have made a go-around.

Even though Kendall and Logan laughed for being paranoid, Logan's heart was still racing… Both from the horror of what they thought was happening, and from being curious at what Kendall would've said if he wasn't interrupted. However, with Kendall's demeanour of calming down and settling back made Logan assume that he was just about to say "Logie… Logan… I… I just want to say, thank you for being a good friend. It's been a wonderful life having you as my best friend…"

Kendall and Logan finally retrieve their luggage and push their cart towards the Customs area. Remembering that they brought booze and cigarettes they bought from LAX, they went to the Red Zone instead of the Green Zone. They could've taken the risk and just went through the Green Zone and hope Customs officers won't intercept them, but they did the right thing and obeyed Singaporean law. Courteous Customs officers accommodate them and help them in the rather easy process of paying the duties for the four packs of cigarettes that Kendall brought in. Logan said he also wanted to smoke too during the vacation, and so instead of just two packs, Kendall got four for both of them.

After Customs, they push their cart to the taxi stand, where a taxi cab promptly arrives. Logan motions Kendall if he wants to sit at the front, but Kendall declines and says he wants to sit at the back too. And Kendall adds that he would feel strange to be sitting at the front left seat of the car but with the steering wheel on the other side, and seeing the car driving on the "wrong side" of the road. Little did Logan know that this was just Kendall's lame attempt to find a reason to sit at the back with him.

And so the taxi promptly brings them from Changi to the Somerset Liang Court building. It was around 4:00am when they left the airport, and they arrive at the serviced apartment in just 20 minutes. They initially planned to check in at a hotel, but they thought it would be easier if they had a serviced apartment instead, where there is a stove, washing machine, flat iron and microwave oven. It was more costly, but Kendall and Logan saved up from their earnings from their active Big Time Rush days, and this was supposed to be an all-out vacation. They check in and are up in their unit in no time.

As Kendall and Logan unlock the door and turn on the lights, they see that the unit they got is one of the newly-renovated ones, with modern designs and earthy colours of dark brown, black, cream and white. The floor was hardwood, and there was a dining area near the door. The sofa and TV are near the sliding doors that lead to one of the two verandas of their unit. They also check out the service area, where the washing machine, ironing board and the flat iron were. After seeing everything is in order, they proceed to the bedroom. As they open the bedroom, they sat together on the queen-sized bed. They actually opted for one queen-size bed instead of two separate beds. They didn't mind sleeping on the same bed, since they were best friends anyway… or are they really just best friends?

As they sit down and look around the bedroom, they look at the wall clock that shows 4:10am, but they feel unusually peppy. Kendall whips out his iPhone and checks the time, still set to LA time… 12:10pm… So that's why…

"Hey, Logie…" Kendall breaks the silence. "It's frikkin 4 in the morning in Singapore and our bodies think it's noon… What do you wanna do while the rest of Singapore is still asleep?"

Oh, Logan definitely knows what he wants to do… His playful naughty mind conjures up the answer "Kendall, let's make love…"

To Logan's horror, his mouth started saying the exact thing!

"Kindle, let's m…uh…oke… let's smoke outside and drink some of the wine you brought!"

"Hey, great idea!" Kendall answers with a smile, oblivious to what Logan nearly actually said.

Logan lets out a quiet sigh of relief as Kendall opens the bag containing a bottle of wine. He grabs two regular glasses from the cupboard, and then gets one pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Kendall then pours wine onto his and Logan's glasses, and beckons Logan to follow him towards the second veranda that is part of their bedroom.

They open the sliding windows and light their cigarettes. As they lean forward onto the metal railings of their veranda, 20 storeys above Singapore, they stare in awe at the sight of Singapore at 4 in the morning. There is a river near the building, since Somerset Liang Court is located at Clarke Quay, and beside their building is an identical tower, but with a sign at the top that says "Novotel", a hotel. They look down and they see a large swimming pool on what looks like the 7th floor, shared by both Somerset and Novotel. And on the other side of the river, there is a building that looks like it has some restaurants lining it, but they couldn't make out anything because everything's closed, since it's still 4 in the morning.

"This is nice," Kendall says, before he puts his cigarette into his mouth to inhale a puff. As he inhales and blows out the smoke, Logan replies "Yup, this is nice, Kindle" before he inhales on his own cigarette.

"A toast to your successful album, Kindle!"

"Thanks, Logie, but I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for helping me and supporting me."

And they toast before taking a sip of their wines.

Despite the simple celebratory mood, deep inside, both Kendall and Logan are tormented by their urge to kiss each other at the sort-of romantic situation they are in right now. Both wanted to already admit their love for each other, but they are both afraid that the other boy does not love them back and it might ruin their friendship. But they really wanted to be closer to each other, but they are afraid of getting hurt if things go wrong…

"At least we're together…" Kendall thought to himself.

"Well, at least we're together…" Logan thought to himself as well.
