For the third time in a row, Logan awoke with the same tan elbow in his face. He brushed it aside groggily. "Seriously, dude...you were sleeping right next to me. How do you end up like this every morning, man?" Logan groaned. Carlos awoke with a stretch, accompanied by a yawn, and finally a tumble off of Logan's bed. Logan laughed at the boy, who rose to his feet with a smile on his face. "What can I say, it's not like I do anything else normally right?" Logan had to agree. "I'm gonna make breakfast sir, you want something?" Logan thought for a moment. "Can you make a bowl of cereal without corn dogs in it?" Logan asked, only half-joking. Carlos chuckled in an 'oh you' manner, and headed for the kitchen. Logan laughed weakly and followed.

Surprisingly enough, James was already awake. He was usually the last to wake up, requiring his 'beauty sleep' and Kendall was usually the first. "What are you doing up so early?" Carlos asked as he reached for a box of cereal that was above the fridge. "Well, I'm going to go meet up with a doctor and see if there's anyway to quicken the healing process for not being gorgeous. The outlook looks bleak but...where there's a will, there's a way!" James beamed. "Aha, and where's Kendall? He's usually the first one up." Logan asked. James turned towards him, putting a pair of sunglasses on. "Well the doc gave him some meds...he's not going to be his usual Kendall-y self, so uh...watch out for that." James spoke as he checked his reflection. "Anyway, I'm off. I'll see you guys tonight." and with that, James was gone. Carlos and Logan simultaneously shrugged, and continued what they were doing.

After a successful corn dog-less breakfast, Logan began planning out the day. "It's gonna be pretty hot out today so I'd prefer something indoors with an A.C..." He muttered to himself. Carlos couldn't help over hearing. "Well there's the Laker tickets we won..." Carlos noted. Logan's mouth slowly opened in realization. "Oh yeah..." He said slowly. He forgot they had won those, and he couldn't deny that it was something to do for tonight. "Alright, yeah we can do that, but that's tonight, it's like ten in the morning right now." Logan stated. Carlos picked his teeth in thought, and after a moment snapped his fingers. "I've got it!" He exclaimed. Carlos quickly rose from his chair and ran to their room. A few seconds later he re-appeared with what looked like a flier in his hand. He grinned widely as he handed the sheet of paper to Logan. Confused, Logan took the paper and read aloud. "Indoor Jungle Jamboree? Carlos what are we ten?" Logan scoffed. Carlos rolled his eyes and snatched the paper from Logan. "No Logie." Logan sighed at the pet name. "Do you have any idea what they have at this place? It's like...a playground for adults, man! They've got rock climbing, a forty foot slide, laser-tag, and arcades everywhere!" He spoke with enthusiasm and excitement. Logan laughed. "I repeat, what are we twelve?" Carlos pouted at the taunt. "C'mon what else are we gonna do today? Spend the day with loopy Kendall?" As if on cue, Kendall emerged quite loudly from his bedroom, the door slamming against the wall.

"Oh my gosh!" Kendall squealed. "It's you guys! Hi!" He extended the last word to a thirty syllable tune. Carlos and Logan stared. "Carlos man, I haven't seen you in like...a few hours! Do you know how long a few hours is man? Oh! And Logan!" Each word out of Kendall's mouth was squeaky and high pitched, as if he were an excited little girl. Carlos and Logan continued to stare. "Y'know I feel kinda funny. I mean, d'you guys think it's the meds? It says I should only take like...one every 6 hours but since my leg was like totally killing me, and I didn't feel anything from the pills, I took another two of them. Wazzat bad?" Kendall was swaying on his feet, his eyelids barely open. Carlos and Logan stared some more. Kendall stood there for about a minute, smiling, then suddenly pivoted and stumbled back into his room, the door slamming shut behind him. Carlos and Logan stared at each other. "Yeah...I think we should go out..." Logan confirmed.

They arrived at the Indoor Jungle Jamboree at twelve. Logan cringed as he read the name again, still in disbelief that he was actually about to spend the day here. He sighed and followed a practically skipping Carlos into the building. When they entered, Logan's entire opinion of the place changed instantly. It was nothing like he'd ever seen before; Logan was genuinely impressed with the sight before him. The place had to be at least fifty feet tall, the wall farthest from the entrance was covered with people of all ages attempting to scale it, all of them fastened to a safety harness. To the right was an elevator that went up quite a few floors solely for the purpose of entering the largest slide he had ever witnessed. Screams and cheers could be heard from the large attraction, which gave Logan goosebumps and made his adrenaline gush. He had to admit, he was getting a little excited. He eyed the rest of the venue trying to take note of everything at once, yet soon found the task to be practically impossible. There was so much to see and do. He was kicked out of his trance-like state by a giggling Carlos who grabbed his hand and began to lead him towards a ticket booth.

Carlos ran up to the booth and without counting handed the woman behind the counter a crumpled ball of bills he had yanked from his pocket. She hesitantly took it, taking a few minutes to unfold and count what Carlos had given her, to the dismay of the people on the growing line behind them. After another minute or two, she gave Carlos what Logan expected was the correct change, and before Carlos could put the money into his pockets, he grabbed Logan's hand once more and ran off. "Carlos-" Logan huffed as he tried to keep up with his friend. "-would you slow down? We've got five hours before we have to leave to the game!" Logan said as he maneuvered around a swarm of children in their path. "Stop yapping Logie-" Logan's eyes narrowed. "-you think five hours is enough? You're gonna be begging me to stay, just you wait and see!" Carlos called over the loud chatter of the excited kids around them. Logan sighed, shrugged, and ran a bit quicker so that he wouldn't lose Carlos.

Logan's expectations were blown out of the water, he was in utter awe at what fun he was having. They started the day off with a rock climbing session, to Logan's extreme pleasure. He was a daredevil, and anything even remotely dangerous or risky made the hair on the back of his neck rise. It was his first time participating in the activity, and within minutes he had already scaled up the wall, to the point where his head touched the ceiling. He looked down and laughed, his heart racing from the view. The wall was so tall that he could barely see the people on the floor below. He searched around for Carlos, and spotted the tan boy a few dozen feet below him. "Logan!" Carlos cried. "I think it's time to get down, this is pretty damn high up!" fear could be heard in his voice. Logan laughed heartily, putting one hand on his hip in a superior manner, the other hand kept him stuck to the wall. "Har har har, what's wrong Carlito, too much for you?" He teased. Carlos didn't even put up a fight. "Yeah, actually! I'm gonna get down now, I just gotta figure out how to do that..." Puzzled, Carlos looked below him for some easy way to get down. A devilish thought entered Logan's mind, which was then accompanied by a devilish grin on the boy's face. "I'll show you a short cut!" He yelled at Carlos. Confused at what he meant by 'shortcut', Carlos shrugged and watched the boy above him. His heart sank at the scene that unfolded in front of him. Logan had jumped from his vantage point above and was racing towards Carlos. As soon as he reached the tan boy, he grabbed him causing him to lose his grip on the giant wall and they both began falling at a rapid speed. Carlos screamed the entire way down, Logan cheered, enjoying the adrenaline pumping fall. Before they could become a puddle on the ground, the harnesses they were wearing pulled, creating a sort of 'bungee jumping' effect that ensured their safe landing on the padded floor below.

When they hit the floor, Carlos, who was holding on to Logan for dear life, tripped causing both him and Logan to fall. Carlos landed right on top of Logan. They were in an awkward position but neither of them seemed bothered, they laughed for a few moments and after the laughter subsided they silently stared at each other. It was only a moment but it felt like ages, neither of them saying a word to the other. Carlos' hand rose slowly, it began inching it's way towards Logan's face. He grabbed a loose strand of hair that was laying across Logan's forehead and gently combed it back. Logan smiled warmly at the boy on top of him, the sweet gesture having an effect on him. He then realized the position they were in and the noticeably large crowd around them. Logan quickly got to his feet and assisted Carlos to his. Carlos got to his feet shakily, his eyes narrowed and a look of anger spread across his face. "Never...do that...again..." Carlos whimpered, as Logan giggled evilly.

After they successfully removed their safety gear, they decided to go to the Laser Tag room. The line was surprisingly short, to the boys' relief, and they quickly entered after only two minutes. They were each handed their rental gear, and after making sure everything was on correctly headed into the large room. Carlos and Logan had a blast, the experience was so simple and enjoyable it made them feel as if they were children again. The two went through their game smoothly, (except for the part where Carlos got into a fight with a ten year old girl over who was shot first) and they finished up an hour later. They exited the dark room, and after returning their gear Carlos suggested that they visit the arcade on the third floor. Logan humored him, not being a big video game fan, and was once more pulled towards their destination. They mostly played the classics, Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug and other smaller less known games. Logan usually wouldn't enjoy the damn things, but seeing how excited and entertained Carlos was made it all worthwhile. After a few more games, Logan suggested that they go grab some lunch.

They headed to the food court and argued over what to eat. "Carlos..you can have corn dogs, I'm going to diversify my meals, thanks. Y'know, the food pyramid exists for a reason..." Carlos rolled his eyes. He searched the menus surrounding him for something that sounded appetizing and decided on a burger. The two separated for a few minutes as they picked up their meals of choice, and when they both received their orders they met up at an adjacent empty table.

They had about two hours until the game started, but they didn't need to rush seeing as how it was only a mile away from their current location. They decided to relax and enjoy their meal without having to scoff down everything as quickly as possible, as they usually do. (When you're famous, you're on an incredibly tight schedule which means meals are a luxury) The two chattered excitedly about how great the day was going, and how they hoped the game would be a good one. Logan was mesmerized at how natural just spending the day with Carlos felt. He watched the boy as he spoke, mouth full of food, and he couldn't help but smile. To be honest, he wasn't really listening, lost in thought as he watched the boy gab on and on. Carlos was quite a catch, Logan couldn't deny that. He's gonna make some lucky woman very happy... Logan thought. He sipped from the straw protruding from his drink as he listened to Carlos talk. They exchanged conversation for about a half-hour longer before deciding that they should head to the game. They exited the large building and as if on cue, a cab pulled up right in front of them. Thanking their good luck, they entered, told the driver their destination and headed to the Staples Center.

After waiting online for a bit and finding their seats, the boys scanned the arena in amazement. "Y'know" Logan began. "I didn't think I could be shocked by the size of a place twice in one day. Carlos laughed in agreement, bobbing his head to the music that played overhead. They were seated close enough to the court that they could arguably state that they had the best seats in the house. Neither Carlos nor Logan really followed sports, so throughout the game they'd accompany the crowd's 'ooh's' and 'ahh's', not really knowing what was going on. The most Carlos figured out was that as long as anyone with the Laker's logo on their clothes got the orange ball into the 'hoopie thingie', it was a good thing. He wasn't that uneducated in sports, but Carlos liked to create his own synonyms. Logan pretty much surmised the same thing, just a bit more articulately.

At half-time, the lights dimmed a bit and cheesy romantic music began to play. The jumbo-tron, (A large box that hung from the ceiling in the center of the arena with a screen on each side) above suddenly switched from displaying the current score, to displaying the words "Kiss-Cam" in large pink letters surrounded by a throbbing heart. The video feed turned live, showing a random young couple seated somewhere in the arena. They took a few seconds to realize that they were on the screen above, and when doing so they sheepishly shared a peck on the lips. It took Logan a second to understand the concept of it all, but easily summarized that if you're shown on the screen, you have to kiss. The crowd cheered as the couple's lips connected, and as soon as they'd began kissing the scene shifted to another part of the stadium where an older couple was sitting. They laughed, then locked lips which caused the crowd to give a sickeningly sweet 'aww'. Carlos and Logan laughed as they watched the show above them. Logan thought it was really sweet how it showed couples of all ages and sizes in love, it was a really nice thing to witness. Suddenly the screen shifted once more and Logan's heart sank. It had landed on him...and Carlos. He assumed it was a joke, they probably do it once per game he told himself. He laughed and shyly waved to the camera, Carlos was less modest and began frantically waving at the camera. The crowd began to jeer at them. They began chanting "Kiss!" over and over again. Logan continued to laugh shyly, waiting for the camera to shift away from them. He stared at the floor in embarrassment, but suddenly his face was grabbed, forcefully turned, and he felt something warm and wet on his cheek. He looked to his right, and saw Carlos, who had his hands around Logan's face. Carlos had just given him a kiss on the cheek. His eyes widened in surprise, and his face instantly began to turn a light shade of pink. The crowd around them cheered, gave them a sympathetic 'aww', some laughed, and some whistled. Logan's face quickly went from pink to blood red. Carlos patted Logan's back and laughed, it had obviously been a joke, something to please the viewers and inadvertently...pleased Logan.

The game lasted another two hours with the Laker's winning against the New York Knicks 142 - 80. Logan was pretty quiet during the remainder of the game, but made sure to keep up small talk as to not worry Carlos. Everything was changing too quickly and he didn't know what he was feeling. He was pretty sure he didn't 'like' like Carlos, but after that kiss, the stroking of his hair, and all of the other subtle events that had happened within the week so far, he knew he definitely felt...something. He brushed the confusing thoughts aside for the duration of the car ride home, slapping on a false smile and attempting to be his usual self. It was very difficult seeing as how his mind was swarming with thoughts, ideas, theories and rationalizations, but he knew that Carlos would pick up on any subtle change in behavior.

The cab pulled up some time later. Logan exited the cab after paying the driver, making sure to add in a nice tip for having to deal with Carlos' horrible renditions of a few songs that played on the radio. The two entered the building, giving a nod of acknowledgment to the security guard as they passed her on their way to the elevator. The ride up was silent, not necessarily an awkward silence, but silent nonetheless. After a few short moments they arrived at their floor, Logan reached for his keys as they approached the door to their apartment, but as he was about to enter, Carlos placed his hand on Logan's, stopping him from inserting the key. "What's wrong?" Logan asked. Carlos had a look of embarrassment mixed with tension. "Well I just felt like the whole...kiss thing bothered you. I did it just trying to be funny, but I didn't think about how it'd make you feel. I know you were uncomfortable the rest of the night, and I just really want to say I'm sorry Logie." He explained. Logan's features softened, a warm smile grew upon his face. "Carlos, I know how you are, and trust me something like that wouldn't bother me. I just had something on my mind is all." Carlos' eyes lit up. "Really? Are you sure you're not just saying that?" he pouted a bit. Logan chuckled. "C'mon Carlos, it's me! You know I'm always lost in thought, it's necessary for my future medical career!" Carlos scoffed. "You're going to be a boy band member...who can perform open heart surgery. That's pretty sick..." The two laughed, all tension gone. "And stop calling me that." Logan said sternly, the two laughed again. They stared at each other, in the same way they had earlier in the day and the day before. Nothing was said, nothing needing to be said. Eventually Logan began to feel a bit embarrassed and before Carlos could catch him blushing he opened the door.

When they entered the apartment no lights were on. Logan blindly searched for the switch, his fingers acting as his eyes, and after a moment found it and flicked it, causing the room to become visible. He instantly regretted turning the lights on. "What...the...hell..." Carlos spoke, Logan stood silent, dumbfounded at the scene before him. The entire living room was...quite literally upside down. The sofa was on it's back, the tables were scattered across the floor, the TV was dozens of feet away from where it usually was placed, and all other sorts of furniture and belongings were thrown about the room. Logan sighed. "Why is it...that over the past few days, every time we come home there's some sort of shocking scene?" Carlos hummed an 'I don't know' and began to investigate. "Think we were robbed?" The tan boy asked. "No...nothing's missing, everything's just...everywhere." Logan said. They walked around the room, viewing the destruction and disorder that was littered everywhere.

Logan was just about to suggest calling the cops when James emerged from his bedroom. "So...yeah. Hi guys." Logan and Carlos stared. "Hi guys? It looks like a furniture catalog threw up in here and you start off with 'Hi guys'? What the hell happened?" Logan fumed. "Well... K-Dog over there-" He pointed to the bedroom he shared with Kendall. "-was hopped up on his happy pills and...well...he thought I was..." James stopped, rubbing his temple as he tried to explain the situation as easily as possible. "He what?" Logan pressed. James sighed again. "He thought I was a vampire man!" James eyes darted back and forth between Carlos and Logan, waiting for one of them to say something. Carlos and Logan had no words, each of them silently mouthing the word 'vampire' in confusion. "He has a huge fear of Vampires, and I guess when I walked through the door...I don't know the moonlight or whatever made me seem vampiric...or something. I don't know, anyway, he freaked out and nearly killed me! With things that I didn't think could be lethal weapons! Have you ever been bludgeoned with a wheel of cheese? It hurts! A lot!" James ranted. Carlos couldn't hold his laughter in anymore and began laughing to the point where tears began to form. Logan on the other hand closed his eyes, brought his hands to face and let out a very long 'Uuuuuuughhhhhh'. James attempted to try and explain some more, but Logan raised his hand in protest, causing him to stop speaking. "James...I...I just don't care. You know I hate clutter, especially, disorganized clutter. I'm going to bed now, none of you exist until tomorrow." and with that, Logan headed directly to his room and shut the door behind him. James looked at Carlos apologetically. Carlos, feeling bad for him, reached for something in the bag he was holding. He offered it to James. "Cotton Candy?" he asked. James just looked at him, then turned around and went back into his room. Carlos shrugged. "More for me."
