Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan followed Kelly into the studio. Gustavo had called and said that he had finished the song and he wanted the dogs there ASAP.
When the boys got to the studio, they were marched straight to the producer's office. Gustavo ushered the pop stars in, handing them each sheet music as they walked by.
"Dogs!" Gustavo yelled. "This is the new song that you're going to sing for Griffin in two days! Learn it! Act like you actually enjoy singing it!"
"Gustavo, the guy from Pop Tiger is here," Kelly said, poking her head in the room. Gustavo rolled his eyes and followed her out, mumbling something about stupid teen magazines and their terrible timing.
Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan read over the lyrics to their new song, entitled 'Baby'.
"This is the worst song ever!" James said as he finished.
"I think that it may be worse than 'Girl Time'," Logan said, remembering the first song Gustavo had written for Big Time Rush. Carlos and Kendall nodded in agreement, grimacing.
"We cannot sing this," Carlos said. The four sat there in silence, trying to think of some way out of the song.
"Well, there's only one thing I can think of that might help," Kendall said, looking at James, who gave the tiniest nod.
"And that is?" Logan asked.
The dark-haired boy never got his answer, because as soon as the question left his mouth, Gustavo and Kelly came back in.
"Dogs! Booth! Now!" Gustavo ordered.
As the boys started out the door, Kendall and James stopped. "Okay," Kendall said. "But first, James and I have something to say."
Carlos and Logan stared at the two before making slashing motions across their throats.
"Oh, really?" Gustavo asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yep," James replied, taking a deep breath. He decided that it was best to just do this bluntly. "Kendall and I have been dating since sophomore year," the taller boy announced, taking his blonde counterpart's hand and lacing their fingers together.
Carlos groaned and Logan pressed his palm to his forehead, breathing deeply. The look on Gustavo's face said it: they were going back to Minnesota.
The large man stared at the two lovers for a long time before saying (quite calmly), "And you waited until now to tell me?" Both boys floundered for and excuse. "We could have used this! There's hardly a teenage girl out there who doesn't have a soft spot for gay guys!" James and Kendall rolled their eyes.
"Okay," James said. "One: we're not gay. Kendall's bi, and I'm Kendallsexual." The brunette ignored Kelly and Gustavo's questioning looks. "And second: seriously? We tell you that we're dating and all you thing about is how we should have told you sooner because it would help the album?"
"Hey, at least he hasn't sent us back to Minnesota," Logan commented. Carlos nodded.
"True." Kendall shrugged. "Well, we did day that we'd go to the booth," the blonde said, dragging his boyfriend out the door with him, eager to change the subject. "Come on, guys."
"Gimme a sec, I gotta do something first," Logan said, suddenly getting an idea. The three gave him a weird look, shrugged, and walked down the hall. Logan could hear Carlos mention that if that had been Kendall's plan to get them out of singing 'Baby', it had epically failed. When he could no longer head the two arguing, Logan turned to Gustavo. "So, you're really okay with them?"
"Sure, why not? Love is love."
"So…you wouldn't mind if Carlos, Camille, and I threw a little coming out party for them here?" Logan asked quickly, wincing as he waited for the answer.
"Okay," Gustavo said after thinking for a minute. "Just don't break anything!"
"Really?" Gustavo gave the raven-haired boy a 'yeah' look. Logan said thanks and ran off to call Camille before the producer could change his mind.

So that was actually a lot longer than I thought it was going to be…
Sorry about the delay, guys. I've been uber-busy and just had a horrible case of writer's block. But, with the help of Heffron Drive and my top-secret advisor, I've managed to now write about three and a half chapters of this plus the majority of another project I'm working on that should be out soon.
Thank you all for reading this! I'm so glad that y'all are liking it! Please continue to review, I love to hear your feedback!
Xoxo, UB
