A/N: Hey guys, so I know I haven't updated in a while, but things have been a little crazy with me lately, we're moving house and I have exams so I haven't really had a chance to write, but I'm back now, and hopefully after next week everything will kind of settle and I'll have a chance to post more. Enjoy the new chaoter guys, and sorry about the wait!
Chapter 3:
Kendall and Logan were confused; yesterday, James and Carlos were messing around and playing dome hockey or video games like any other day, and today, they had been avoiding each other at all costs. Had they had a fight? They knew Carlos and James bickered all the time, but they usually got over it within the hour and were back to being best friends, but this was different; they hadn't spoken since breakfast this morning - it wasn't right. And so Kendall and Logan took it upon themselves to play guidance counselors. They spotted James first, the tall brunette rummaging in the fridge, and he gave a start, almost dropping his can of drink in his shock upon seeing them right behind him.
"God, guys!" James said nervously "You scared me!"
"We noticed," Kendall smirked as Logan raised an eyebrow.
"Can we talk to you?" Logan asked, and James looked from him to Kendall, unsure.
"Uh, yeah, OK," he said finally "what's up?"
"Can we talk privately?" Logan asked, and James shifted from one foot to the other "Your room, maybe?"
"Can't," James said flatly "Carlos is in there." Logan and Kendall shared a look before nodding and taking each of James' arms, leading him out of the apartment, and into the elevator.
"Where are we going?" James asked as Logan tapped his foot, waiting for the elevator to hit the ground floor.
"Somewhere no one'll hear us," Kendall told James, who licked his lips nervously.
"What's going on guys?" James asked as the elevator reached the ground floor, and Logan and Kendall dragged him into the supply cupboard, shutting the door behind them.
"You tell us!" Kendall said loudly, and Logan put a hand on his arm, shushing him.
"What he means to say," Logan said calmly "is, what's going on with you and Carlos?" James could feel his cheeks heat up slightly. "You haven't spoken since this morning, and that's really weird for you guys,"
"So?" James didn't mean to be defensive, but he didn't even know what happened after breakfast, so the last thing he needed was his friends prying. "We just needed a break, you know? Alone time? All friends need that!"
"Yeah," Kendall said, not buying it "but you and Carlos are closer than me or Logan are with him, it's just not like you,"
"Logan or I, Ken," Logan reminded him gently, stroking Kendall's knuckles with the pad of his thumb.
"Yeah," Kendall smiled "thanks Logie," Logan blushed slightly at the nickname "but still," Kendall hesitated "have you guys, like, had a fight or something?"
"No!" James said, exasperated "Just- can you drop it?" he asked.
"Fine," Kendall said, defeated, and Logan nodded.
"Thanks!" James snapped, pushing past the couple and out of the supply cupboard as Logan sighed.
"What's the matter, Logie Bear?" Kendall asked, concerned, using the nickname he only gave when he and Logan were alone.
"I'm worried about them," Logan confessed, leaning into Kendall's side as the blonde put a comforting and protective arm around him.
"I know, me too," Kendall said gently, kissing the top of Logan's head "now lets get up there before they kill each other," Kendall's smirk faded as Logan gave a rather hard punch to his arm.
