I'd love to hear what you think (:


"Logan, you know that you can go to lunch, right?" Kendall smirked as he watched the brunette type quickly at the computer.

Logan glanced up from what he was doing and gave Kendall a quick nod, "Yeah. Yeah, I know. I just want to finish this first. Go meet James, I'll be fine."

"You sure? I mean, you can come with, if you want?"

Logan chuckled and shook his head this time, "And be a third wheel? No thanks. I'm a big boy, Kendall. I can look after myself for an hour."

"Okay, as long as you're sure."

"I'll just go to the park or something...once I finish this."

Kendall glanced at the computer screen for a moment and then stood behind Logan, resting his hands on the man's shoulders, "I just feel bad leaving you on your own on your second day."

"Kendall, honestly, I'll be okay. James is waiting for you, now go!"

"Fine, I'll go! See you later."

"Yeah, go give James a big ol' smooch."

Kendall shook his head with a laugh and leant down to press a big, wet kiss against Logan's cheek, making him squirm and push him away.

"Remember to lock the office door before you go," Kendall called as he grabbed his jacket and headed out the door.

It wasn't long before Logan finished up and shut down the computer. He pulled on his coat and grabbed his wallet and keys. He made sure to lock the door behind him and then made his way out of the building, passing Dak working at the front desk and giving him a friendly nod.

Kendall had taken the car to go and meet James, so Logan ended up walking around, trying to decide where he wanted to go for a quick bite to eat. It wasn't until Logan was walking down the street and spotted the bright red door that he realised he'd walked straight to Garcia's Bakery. A small smile emerged on his face and he continued walking towards it.

Logan paused at the window and peered inside. Carlos was refilling the display cabinet and Logan's eyes were immediately drawn to him. He observed him for a brief moment and then stepped inside.

Carlos was oblivious to Logan's presence as he arranged a tray of blueberry muffins at the front of the display.

"Hey," Logan smiled.

Carlos looked up through the glass and beamed when he saw Logan. He raised his head, forgetting where he was for a moment, and bashed his head against the glass casing.

"Ow," he whined, rubbing at his head as he carefully stepped back from the cabinet, standing upright without injuring himself again.

"Are you okay?" Logan asked quickly.

Carlos nodded, a small, embarrassed smile on his face, "Yes. Sorry, I—I was just happy to see you. How are you?"

Logan's cheeks blushed red and he bit back a grin, "I'm good thanks. I, uh, I just wanted to see you to say thanks for last night...and to apologise for it ending like that."

"Oh, that's okay. Was your roommate alright?"

Logan nodded, "Y-Yeah. He...he just really needed some help with something. He's useless."

Logan laughed nervously and Carlos nodded, accepting Logan's poor excuse.

"I did have a nice time last night though," Logan told him. "I'd like to do it again sometime."

Carlos smiled widely, "Me too."

"When do you have you lunch breaks?"

"Um, I usually close for about an hour at two?"

"Alright then," Logan nodded. "Uh, Thursday? Will you have lunch with me?"

"I'd love to!"

Logan pulled his bottom lip between his teeth as he grinned, bowing his head to hide his blushing cheeks, "Great! I'll come by here..."

"Okay!" Carlos agreed enthusiastically. "Are you on your lunch break now? Do you want something to eat?"

"Please. What do you have?"

"Well, I just made a fresh batch of rolls...Do you like chicken salad?"

"That's fine, yeah. Thanks. How much?" he asked, digging his wallet out of his pocket.

"Oh, it's on me."

"Carlos...you can't keep giving me free stuff."

"But I want to," Carlos blushed. "And I'm in charge."

"But it's not good for business."

"I'm not accepting your money," Carlos told him and ignored the ten dollar bill that Logan was attempting to hand him.

"Fine then," Logan said, smirking as he put the note in the tip jar.

"Logan!" Carlos protested.

"What?" Logan chuckled in response, smiling innocently.

Carlos rolled his eyes with an amused smile and went to go and prepare Logan's order.

"Do you want it to take away?"

"Um, well, I was hoping that I could spend some time with you...but you're probably busy."

"You can sit back here?" Carlos offered shyly.

Logan's face lit up slightly, "Really? I won't get in the way?"

Carlos shook his head and pulled a stool out from under the counter, sitting it beside his work table, "You can sit there. I just have a cake to decorate."

"Okay, thank you."

Logan happily sat down and watched as Carlos scanned the room, checking that his handful of customers was okay at their tables and that no one needed serving. Then he grabbed an iced, three-tiered cake from the side and placed it on the work table, next to what Logan assumed was more icing.

Logan ate quietly and watched Carlos, fascinated with the way he carefully sliced bits of icing and sculpted them with his fingers.

"What are you making?"

Carlos gave him a small smile, "You'll see."

Logan continued watching him, a small smile on his face as he saw the small rose begin to take shape and Carlos then stuck it to one of the cake's corners.

"That's awesome," Logan said, standing up to take a closer look. "How'd you learn to do that?"

"Grandma taught me. She encouraged me to put all my energy into something creative instead of dangerous."

Logan frowned slightly, "Dangerous?"

"Well, yeah. I, sort of, like to do crazy things...like stunts and stuff."

"What kind of stunts?"

Carlos shrugged, getting to work on another rose, "Just extreme shopping cart racing, car surfing, rocket skating...stuff like that. Oh! And I can sometimes juggle, like, four knives at once."

"Sometimes?"

"Yeah," Carlos mumbled in embarrassment. He stepped closer to Logan and held out his arm, pointing to a long scar just below his elbow, "My mom wasn't happy. After my...accident, she'd send me to my Grandma's whenever she wasn't around to keep an eye on me."

Logan gasped as he saw the scar, grabbing Carlos' arm and staring at it, "Why would you do stuff like that?"

"For the rush. It's awesome."

"But you could seriously hurt yourself."

"Well, it's a good job I've got my gonna-be-doctor to look after me then," Carlos smirked at Logan.

Logan's eyebrows shot up into his hairline and his mouth hung open, blushing over Carlos' obviously flirting, "Um...uh, I guess."

Logan continued to stare up at Carlos, his thumb absentmindedly rubbing over the scar on the other man's arm. Carlos stared back, his tongue darting out and licking his lips, but then he noticed a customer standing by the counter, frowning as they waited. He groaned and quickly excused himself. Logan watched him rush away, feeling slightly disappointed. Then he looked at his watch and swore under his breath when he noticed the time; he was late. But Logan wanted to say goodbye to Carlos, so he sat back down and waited until he had finished serving.

"I'm sorry about that," Carlos apologised as he hurried back to Logan.

The paler man smiled and stood up, "That's okay. I disturbed you at work; what did I expect?"

"I don't mind though."

Logan bit on his bottom lip as he grabbed his jacket, "I'm sorry though, I have to get back to work."

Carlos' smile fell and he nodded in understanding, "Oh, yeah, of course."

"It's been lovely seeing you again."

"Yeah, you too."

"I'll see you on Thursday?"

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Me too. Well, goodbye Carlos."

"Bye Logan."

Carlos sighed and leant against the counter to watch Logan scurry out of the bakery.


Logan jumped about a foot in the air when he returned to the rink and found Kendall waiting for him by the front desk.

"Logan! Nice to see you again buddy," Kendall smirked, wrapping his arm around Logan's shoulders and leading him further into the building, giving Dak a wave as they left.

"Sorry I'm a bit late..."

"I've been waiting to get in the office..."

Logan blushed and apologised again, grabbing the keys from his pocket and passing them to the blonde. Kendall opened the door and went over to his desk.

"So," he started, sitting in his big office chair. "Where have you been? Dak said you didn't leave too long after I did..."

Logan sighed, "I'm sorry, Kendall. It won't happen again."

Kendall rolled his eyes, "I'm not mad at you. I was just wondering where you went."

Logan grumbled as he sat at his own desk and turned on the computer. Kendall watched him in amusement and raised an eyebrow.

"Where'd you go?"

"I went to see Carlos, okay?" he quietly admitted.

Kendall's smirk turned into a grin and he leant forward in his chair, "You did? Well ain't that cute? How is your little boyfriend?"

"Oh, I dunno. How's yours?" Logan shot back teasingly with a glare in Kendall's direction.

Kendall just smirked proudly and shrugged, "Oh, my boyfriend's great."

Logan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "You're not denying that James is your boyfriend?"

"Nope. We uh. We made it official today."

"Kendall!" Logan exclaimed in excitement. "That's awesome!"

Kendall blushed as he bit back a grin, "Yeah. Yeah, it is. You really do need to meet him soon, Logie. But anyway, we're not talking about me. How was Carlos?"

Logan quickly licked his lips, "H-He's fine. We actually, uh, made plans to have lunch on Thursday."

"Logan, that's great!"

Logan nodded, hesitating for a moment, "Yeah, but, would I be able to take my lunch break a bit later that day?"

"How much later?" Kendall questioned.

"Carlos doesn't have his until two...?"

"Two? Logan, you only work until four. There'd be no point you coming back afterwards."

Logan sighed, "Okay, sorry. I'll just phone him and say I can't do Thursday."

Kendall took a deep breath and stood up, walking over to Logan and wrapping his arms around him from behind, resting his chin on the brunette's shoulder as he still sat at his desk.

"Hey, no. Don't cancel. Go see Carlos."

"Really?" Logan asked sceptically.

Kendall nodded, "Yeah. I want you to be happy. You can take the afternoon off."

"What? But I don't need the whole afternoon."

"Then go and see Nate. I'll still pay you for a full day."

"You don't have to do that..."

"Stop arguing with me, kay?" Kendall grinned, nuzzling Logan's cheek with his nose.

Logan laughed and squirmed out of his hold, "Okay. Thank you Kendall."

"No problem buddy," Kendall smiled, patting Logan on the shoulder and returning to his desk. He shook his head in amusement and chuckled, "Second day and you've already got your boss wrapped around your little finger."

Logan grinned proudly and shrugged, "I just have the greatest best friend ever. It's not my fault that he's willing to do anything for me."

"Hey, don't push it."

Logan just kept grinning while he got back to work.


Logan pulled up outside Mrs Knight's house and jogged up to the front door. Jennifer Knight came to the door moments later and happily invited him inside.

"Hey, Mrs Knight," Logan beamed, kissing the red-haired woman on the cheek.

"Hello sweetheart," she chuckled. "You seem very happy."

"That's 'cause I am. Now, where's my little monster?"

"He's in the kitchen, "Jennifer explained, leading the way. "We're finger painting."

Logan poked his head around the kitchen door and his face broke into a grin when he saw the infant sitting at the large kitchen table. The little boy's tongue was poking out of the side of his mouth in concentration and his eyebrows creased as he pressed his paint covered hands on the large sheet of paper in front of him.

"There's my little man!"

Nate's head shot up, staring in the direction the voice had just come from, and he gave Logan a big smile and wave, "Daddy!"

Logan rushed over to him and swept him up into his arms, causing Nate to giggle and squeal in excitement. Nate's little hands grabbed at Logan's arms and accidently covered them in small, blue handprints. Logan gave an over exaggerated gasp and stared at his son.

"Look at the mess you've made!"

Nate just giggled again and bit on his bottom lip. One of his hands shot out and smeared blue paint all down Logan's face, causing both adults in the room to burst into fits of laughter, and Nate looked very pleased with himself.

"You naughty boy!" Logan chuckled, rolling his eyes as Nate just smiled innocently at his father.

Logan sat Nate back on the chair and stroked his hand through the little boy's hair as Nate now stuck his hand in a pot of red paint and continued with his painting.

"That's very good, Nate," Logan praised him, smiling at the multicoloured blobs and smears. "Keep going."

Logan left Nate to paint happily and he joined Mrs Knight, who was standing by the sink with a wash cloth. She immediately pulled him close and started to scrub his face clean; just like she would do back when he was little and he and Kendall would come inside, all covered in dirt and grass stains.

"So, are you gonna tell me why you're so happy? I haven't seen you smile like this is a long time."

Logan blushed and glanced over at his son, making sure that he wasn't paying attention to them, "I—I've, sort of, met someone."

Jennifer's face lit up and he hands dropped from his face for a moment, "You have? Sweetie, that's great news! Tell me everything."

Logan licked his lips and his blush deepened, "Uh, his name's Carlos. He owns his own bakery and he's so sweet. W-We've only been on one official date but I have a good feeling about this..."

"I'm so happy for you," Jennifer smiled, finishing cleaning Logan's face. "You deserve to find someone special."

"Thanks, Mama Knight."

"Do you know when you're seeing him again?"

Logan nodded with a smile, taking the wash cloth to clean up his arms, "We're having lunch on Thursday."

"You'll have to tell me all about it. I love seeing you boys so happy. You have Carlos and Kendall has James...Have you met James yet?"

Logan shook his head this time, "Not yet. I know Kendall really likes him though."

"I can tell. He's embarrassed to let me meet him though," Mrs Knight chuckled.

"I'm sure he'll introduce you two soon."

"I hope so...I've seen pictures of him in magazines and stuff. He's a very good looking man."

Logan nodded with a laugh, "Yeah, he is."

"Daddy!" a small voice called. "Daddy! I'm finished!"

Nate held up his painting, a big and proud smile on his face, and Logan gave him a gasp pairing with an amazed expression.

"Nate, that's lovely! Shall we take it home and find somewhere to put it?"

Nate nodded excitedly and climbed down from his chair. Logan carefully took the sheet of paper and watched Mrs Knight help Nate to zip up his jacket and tie his shoe laces.

"Thanks for looking after him," Logan thanked her, kissing her cheek. "I'll drop him off on Thursday?"

"Yeah, that's fine. You sure you don't want me to have him tomorrow as well?"

"I don't work Wednesdays, so I can spend some time with that little rascal."

Logan pointed to Nate who was currently hopping down the corridor on one foot, giggling happily to himself.

"Take care of yourself."

"See you later, Mrs Knight."


Logan carried his son into the apartment, the small boy wriggling and desperate to be put down. As soon as his feet were firmly on the ground, he darted off in the direction of the couch. Logan laughed and chased after him.

"Oh, no you don't. We've got to get you cleaned up, mister. It's bath time."

Nate's eyes went wide and he ran around the back of the couch, trying to hide himself from his father. Usually, Logan would have humoured his but he needed to get him washed and clean before they had to go and pick Kendall up from the rink. So he grabbed the protesting infant, threw him over his shoulder and carried him into the bathroom.

As soon as Kendall was home, Logan went to the kitchen to start on dinner while Nate dragged Kendall over to the table to show him the painting he'd done earlier.

"Wow, aren't you a little artist!" Kendall grinned, ruffling Nate's hair. "Where do you want to put it?"

Nate looked up at Kendall and shook his head. Kendall grabbed the painting and went into the kitchen, rummaging through a drawer for some blue tack. Nate followed curiously, pulling the paper from Kendall's hand and protectively clutching it to his chest.

Kendall smiled down at him and held out his hand to let Nate grip it as they walked over to the bedrooms.

"Shall we put it here?" Kendall suggested, pointing to the bare wall that was between the two bedrooms doors.

Nate nodded with a big grin, "Okay!"

Kendall crouched down and attached blobs of tack to each corner before he picked Nate up and let the small boy stick the painting to the wall.

"Very good! You happy?"

Nate nodded again, "Yes! Thank you, Kendall."

"No problem, Big Man."

Nate was put back down and he stared up at his painting, an adorable little smile on his face. But it wasn't long before it bored him and he was tugging on Kendall's jeans.

"Can I watch cartoons?"

"Please?"

"Please."

Kendall gave him and nod and patted his head, "Sure. I'll be there in a minute."

Nate ran away and started to hit the television remote with his little hand. Kendall made sure he wasn't looking before he quickly straightened up the painting and then he went to help him find a kid's show to watch.


It was quiet while Logan and Kendall washed up after dinner. Every now and then, Logan would glance over at the couch to make sure that he son was still okay. Every time, without fail, the little boy was fully engrossed in the television, so Logan continued drying the dishes.

"Logie?" Kendall broke the silence.

"Mmm?"

"I'm going to James' tonight."

Logan smirked, "Oh, really?"

Kendall nodded nervously, "Will you be alright on your own?"

"Kendall, I can look after myself for one evening."

"Yeah, well, I'm sort of staying the night?" Kendall blushed. "So, just remember to lock up before you go to bed? And James is driving me to work tomorrow, so you won't need to."

"You're spending the night? Wow, no wonder you seem nervous. Just remember to be safe, okay?"

"Logan!" Kendall groaned and his blushing became even more noticeable. "I—I need to go get ready. Will you be okay finishing up on your own? James is gonna be here in, like, twenty minutes."

"I'll be fine, Kendall. Go and do what you need to...and try to calm your nerves."

Kendall nodded nervously and then hurried into his bedroom to gather a few things that he would need and to make himself look presentable.

When Kendall reappeared, Logan was sitting on the sofa with Nate, shaking his head at the ridiculous cartoons that his son was watching. He jumped up when he saw Kendall coming over.

"Well, doesn't someone look handsome?"

Kendall rolled his eyes and straightened his shirt. He was obviously still nervous but Logan could tell that he was trying his best to cover it.

"James says he's on his way. So I'm gonna go downstairs and wait for him."

"Aw, we don't get to meet him?"

"I'm nervous enough! And, uh, we don't want to waste any time, y'know? He has to fly out to LA tomorrow afternoon for a photo shoot and then there's one in New York after that..."

"Well, have a great night...and tell James I said hi."

"I will. I'll see you tomorrow."

Kendall went over to give Nate a goodnight kiss and then Logan walking with him to the door.

"Have fun," Logan smirked.

"I'll try," Kendall smiled, kissing Logan on the forehead. "Later, man."

"Bye."

Logan let out a small laugh as he shut the door behind Kendall, deciding to lock it now and then go and get Nate ready for bed.

It had been a while since Logan had spent the night by himself. So, once Nate was in bed, Logan sat on the sofa with a beer and found the silence very strange. Kendall had been with him every night since he'd left Camille and the company had been nice. But now Logan was alone again. He felt silly because it was only one night and Kendall would be back tomorrow. But Logan knew that he couldn't stay with Kendall forever. Kendall had James; Kendall was very happy with James. And Logan was getting in the way of their relationship whether Kendall would acknowledge it or not. Sure, Logan was seeing Carlos, but they'd only had one date. Logan had no idea where their relationship was heading and was still unsure if he wanted anything serious just yet after how badly the previous one ended.

Logan shook his head, trying to stop himself over thinking everything and stressing himself out again. He spread himself across the comfy sofa and focused all of his attention on the chat show that was currently on, not wanting to get worked up; he just needed a relaxing night.


So, what do you think? I know that there hasn't been much Logan/Carlos action. I apologise. But I promise that there will be some very soon, so just hang in there!

Also, I hope the ending of this chapter was okay. I had to keep rewriting it because I hated every one I wrote; I'm not so fond of this one either. But I hope it's okay.

I'm also going to apologise in advance just in case I take a bit longer to update the next chapter of this. I'm going to University on Saturday. Busy busy busy.

Anyway, please let me know what you think (:
