Chapter 4: Just a Kiss
Kendall looked at himself in the mirror as he washed the paint from his face. Logan was standing next to him doing the same thing.
"That was fun," Logan said, "and it'll be worth him probably yelling at us when we get back," he said looking over at Kendall.
"Yeah," Kendall said laughing slightly.
"It's your fault though," Logan said, "if you hadn't started it we wouldn't have-" he started.
"Had fun?" Kendall cut him off.
"Have gotten in trouble, but that too," Logan said blushing slightly. Kendall laughed again. Logan looked over at Kendall. He didn't know what it was about the blonde, but he was getting him to open up a little. He was really enjoying the time he had with the blonde over the last week. He knew once his detention was over he would never get a chance like this again. He had blown it last week, but now he had another chance again. He would never get another chance like this again.
The two finished scrubbing their faces and Logan moved to grab another paper towel he had set on the sink at the same time Kendall did. Their hands touched. Logan quickly pulled his hand back and they locked eyes.
"That was really fun Logie," Kendall said.
"Yeah, it was," Logan said blushing.
"You're cute when you blush," Kendall said smiling causing Logan to blush an even deeper shade of red. Kendall laughed and moved closer to Logan. Logan took a chance and leaned in and pressed his lips to Kendall's lips. They stood there for a moment with their lips pressed together. Logan was the first to pull back. He looked at Kendall. He wanted to kiss him again. The door opened and Logan took a step back from Kendall. He looked to the door and saw Dak standing there.
"Come on Logan, Rocque is letting us go home and you're my ride," Dak said.
"Ok, I am almost done getting the paint off my face I'll be right out," Logan said turning back to the mirror. Logan grabbed another paper towel and started on the last of the paint that was on his face. He turned the hot water on and washed his hands. The steam from the sink started to fog the mirror.
"Logan," Kendall said.
"That was fun," Logan said turning and walking to the door. "You missed some paint by the way," Logan said as he walked out the door.
Kendall stood there in shock for a moment before he turned to the mirror and noticed something on the mirror in front of the sink Logan had used. He saw Logan had written something on the mirror. There written on the mirror was, 555-5365. Kendall looked at it for a moment before he realized what it was. It was Logan's number. Kendall quickly pulled his phone out and saved the number in his contacts. He would have to call the brunette later.
Kendall pocket his phone before wiping the number off the mirror. He finished washing his hands and walked out of the bathroom and saw James walking down the hall.
"Come on we can go," James said.
"I know," Kendall said as he walked past James. He made his way to the parking lot with James behind him.
"So what's this I hear about a paint fight?" James asked as he stopped by the passengers side of Kendall's car. Kendall froze before opening his door.
"It was nothing, he laughed at me for getting paint on myself so I put paint on him and he did it back," Kendall said shrugging. He opened his car door and James got in as well.
"Camille and Lucy said you two were flirting," James said.
"We were not flirting," Kendall said rolling his eyes.
"Really?" James asked, "you were not flirting with the guys you've been crushing on for a few years," he asked.
"Maybe to some it seemed that way, but it wasn't," Kendall said as he started his car.
"Oh come on Kendall, you are enjoying our punishment," James said.
"So what if I am," Kendall said, "did you ever stop to think that I might like helping," he asked.
"Oh my god listen to yourself," James said, "that is what's gonna cause us to lose this Friday's game," he said.
"Oh my god listen to yourself," Kendall said, "Do you realize how close minded you sound?" he asked as he pulled up next to the curb outside of James' mother's house.
"Look, all I am saying is we need you one hundred percent focused on winning this next game," James said as he opened his door.
"And I will be," Kendall said, "don't worry," he said. James shook his head and shut the door as he walked away. Kendall sighed and drove home. He didn't know what to do about James. He had been so close to kissing Logan again though, but Dak had to interrupt. Then again Logan did leave him his number. He would have to call him when he got home.
Kendall arrived home and ran inside barely saying hello to his mother and Katie before he ran up to his room. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and opened his contacts. He sat there for awhile debating on whether or not to call the brunette. He wasn't sure what to do. He was scared. He didn't want to read too much into things and then get shot down.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Logan made his way outside to his car. He saw Dak waiting for him, a knowing smile on his face. He knew what Dak was thinking and he didn't want to talk about it right now. He just wanted to go home and wait for Kendall to either call or text him.
"Did I interrupt a moment," Dak asked.
"No," Logan said as he got into his car with Dak doing the same.
"Oh come on," Dak said looking at Logan, "you couldn't have been more obvious with the way you practically jumped back when I came in," he said.
"There was no moment," Logan insisted as he started driving home.
"There was a moment," Dak said.
"Was not," Logan said.
"Was," Dak said.
"Ok fine, there was," Logan said, "but now I'll never know what would've happened because of you," he said.
"Well I am sorry," Dak said, "I had no way of knowing and you hesitate too much," he said.
"I can't help it," Logan said, "I am scared that he doesn't like me back and he'll like punch me if I push it," he said.
"You are such a chicken," Dak said shaking his head.
"I gave him my number," Logan said.
"Well, after you left I washed my hands and the water fogged the mirror and I wrote my number on it and told him he missed a spot," Logan said, "I kind of hope he saw it," he said biting at his nail as he stopped at a red light.
"So what are you hoping he'll do?" Dak asked.
"Call me, or text me," Logan said, "I want to spend time with him outside of his detention," he said as the light turned green and he started driving again.
"You are so desperate," Dak said laughing.
"Shut up or you're walking home from here," Logan threatened.
"Sorry," Dak said quickly putting his hands up in surrender. The rest of the ride home was spent in silence. The two got out of the car and made their way inside. They said hello to their parents and made their way to the kitchen for dinner. Logan hoped Kendall wouldn't call him while he was eating. After they finished they washed their dishes and made their way up to their rooms to work on their homework.
Logan was sitting at his desk with his phone sitting in front of him as he worked. He was starting to think maybe Kendall hadn't seen his number. He was about to give up all hope when his cell phone rang. He grabbed his phone and saw a unknown number. He answered it.
"Hello," he said.
"Logan," came Kendall's smooth voice.
"Kendall," Logan said smiling, "I was starting to think you weren't gonna call," he said as he leaned back in his chair.
"You were waiting for my call?" Kendall asked.
"No, but I was hoping you'd see my number," Logan said shyly.
"So, is there a reason you'd left me your number like that?" Kendall asked. Logan blushed and swallowed the lump forming in his throat.
"Kendall, the truth is I kind of like you," Logan said biting his lip.
"Oh," Kendall said.
"I know, you probably hate me now," Logan started.
"That was a good oh dork," Kendall said laughing, "I like you too," he said.
"You do?" Logan asked slowly.
"Yes, I just wasn't sure if you liked me," Kendall admitted.
"I thought the same thing actually," Logan said letting out a sigh of relief. He stood up from his desk and walked over to his bed. "Well if we both like one another why don't we go out on a date," Logan said feeling bold.
"I'd like that," Kendall said.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Dak was in his room, which was next door to Logan's. He was listening to Logan talk to Kendall. He knew this was wrong, but they were talking about going on a date. Dak had to call James and let him know. He pulled his cell phone out and found James' number in his contacts list. James had given him his number for something like this. Dak moved over to his bed which was on the other side of the room as he hit the call button.
"Hello?" James said.
"As much as I rather be talking to anyone but you I just wanted to let you know Logan gave Kendall his number and they are talking about going on a date," Dak said.
"What!" James asked.
"I am not repeating myself," Dak said.
"We can't let them go on a date," James said, "that will kill Kendall's rep and your theater dork will forget all about the theater and put all his time into Kendall," James said.
"I know that," Dak said, "you told me all of this earlier," he said annoyed.
"We have to stop that date from happening," James said.
"What you propose we do oh dumb one?" Dak asked.
"We - did you just call me dumb?" James asked.
"Of the boot fits," Dak said.
"I am gonna ignore that," James said.
"Well, what are we gonna do?" Dak asked. He felt bad about this, but it was for the best. Logan needed to be focused on the musical. He knew Logan would hate him if he found out what he was doing. He did not want Logan to find out he was behind this. He didn't want Logan to hate him.
"I don't know," James said, "when are they planning to go out?" he asked.
"This weekend," Dak said.
"Give me a day to figure things out and I'll let you know," James said.
"I don't know why we have to do this," Dak said, "I mean why can't you just be happy for Kendall," he said.
"I am happy for him, I just need him focused on the game," James said, "he's been off lately because all he can think about is Logan," he said.
"Fine, fine," Dak said, "just text me when you come up with something dumb one," he said.
"Enough with the name calling," James said annoyed.
"Get smarter and I wouldn't have to call you dumb," Dak said before hanging up. He sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He hated James so much, and more so now that he was trying to tear Kendall and Logan apart, but as much as he hated to admit it James was right. Kendall and Logan needed to focus on hockey and the musical. Dak sighed as he set his phone aside.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Kendall was smiling as he walked to his locker the next morning. He couldn't help it. He had a date with Logan this weekend. He had been waiting for this moment for so long. He was excited and no one was going to bring him down. Kendall was walking up to his locker when he spotted Carlos at his locker.
"Hey Carlitos," Kendall said walking over to the Latino.
"Hey Kendall," Carlos said turning to look at Kendall.
"You'll never guess what happened to me last night," Kendall said excitedly.
"What?" Carlos asked.
"I got Logan's number and we talked and we have a date this weekend," Kendall said proudly.
"Nice," Carlos said, "so I take it Jo's advice worked," he asked.
"Kind of," Kendall said.
"Well, I am happy for you man," Carlos said clapping Kendall on the back. "just don't let James know," he said.
"Wasn't planning on it," Kendall said.
"So, you guys coming to practice today?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah, and tomorrow as well," Kendall said, "we worked something out with Mr. Rocque," Kendall said.
"Nice," Carlos said. He shut his locker and they both walked over to Kendall's locker. They started to talk about hockey when James joined them.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Logan was giddy as he walked into school that morning. He walked with Dak to his locker. Camille and Lucy were already waiting for him. The two girls looked at Logan confused.
"What's with him?" Lucy asked.
"He's got a date this weekend," Dak said shaking his head.
"With Kendall?" Camille asked.
"Of course," Logan said grabbing his books for his morning classes. "Who else would I go out with?" he asked.
"No one," Lucy said, "you've had an unhealthy obsession with Kendall since seventh grade," she said.
"Shut up," Logan said blushing. He shut his locker and walked away from his friends and to their homeroom as the bell rang. The other three followed him. They walked into the class and saw Kendall, James, and Carlos all ready there in their usual seats in back. Logan caught Kendall's eye as he sat down in front. They both smiled and turned away from the other. Logan knew Kendall didn't want James knowing about them yet, because James didn't want them dating. Kendall had told him James was just obsessed with keeping his image up.
"So, Logan," Camille said getting Logan's attention.
"Yes Camille," Logan said giving her most of his attention.
"What are you going to be doing on this date of yours?" Camille asked.
"I don't know," Logan said, "maybe a movie or something like that," he said.
"Lame," Lucy said.
"I don't care what we do really," Logan said, "just as long as I get to be with him and maybe even a kiss," he said dreamily.
"Well, you deserve this," Lucy said.
"Yeah after wanting him for so long," Camille said.
"Yeah," Dak agreed.
Logan smiled at his friends. He was glad they were happy for him. He was really looking forward to this date. He honestly didn't care what he and Kendall did. He just wanted to spend some time with the blonde. He wanted to kiss the blonde again.
-Big-Time-Rush-
A few days later, it was Thursday. Logan was getting excited about his date with Kendall on Saturday. Dak and James had been coming up with a plan. They were going to do it today if things ran smoothly. Dak didn't want to though. He wanted out of this. He didn't want to hurt Logan. He just wanted him to be happy. Dak made his way to the boys locker room. Some of the hockey team had spent lunch time on the ice. Dak and seen Kendall and Carlos skipped out though. Now was his chance to talk to James. He walked into the locker room as saw several members of the hockey team in several different states of dress. Dak ignored them and the yelling at him to leave until he found James. James was in nothing but his a pair of jeans.
"Diamond," Dak said getting his attention.
"What are you doing here Zevon?" James asked.
"I want out," Dak said, "I can't hurt Logan," he said.
"Oh grow up," James said, "heartbreak is a part of life," he said.
"Logan really likes Kendall and I am not gonna stop this from happening," Dak said.
"Whether you're in or not I am still doing this," James said, "and if you're not there to help Logan could get hurt really bad," he said.
"Why do you not want them to get together?" Dak asked, "are you scared of losing you're best friend?" he asked.
"No," James said quickly.
"You are," Dak said, "it all makes sense now," he said.
"That is not it at all," James said shaking his head.
"It is," Dak said, "you don't want to lose Kendall," he said.
"Either you help or I'll make sure Logan gets the worse deal here," James said.
"Try me," James said.
"And here I was starting to think you had a heart," Dak said shaking his head. "Just tell me what you need me to do later," he said as he walked away.
Dak walked out of the locker room. He had been starting to think maybe he had James pegged wrong, but he was wrong. James was just a jerk who cared about his rep more than he did about anything else. He was only worried about being popular. Dak made his way to his locker. He grabbed his bag and turned around and saw Logan standing behind him. He smiled weakly at him.
"Hey Logan," Dak said slowly.
"Why'd you leave in such a hurry?" Logan asked.
"No reason," Dak said shrugging as he started down the hall for his next class.
"Dak, you've been acting really weird lately," Logan said.
"No I haven't," Dak said.
"Yes you have," Logan said grabbing his arm and stopping him. "is it because I have a date with Kendall?" he asked.
"What?" Dak asked confused, "no I am happy for you," he said.
"Well, you have a weird way of showing it," Logan said, "are you worried that I'll be spending more time with him and less with you and the others?" he asked.
"OK fine, yes that's it," Dak said.
"Dak that will never happen," Logan said smiling at Dak. "no one could stop me from spending time with you, you're my step brother and we live together," he said. Dak rolled his eyes and laughed at Logan.
"Besides we have the musical coming up and I am gonna need help with my lines," Logan said smiling.
"You are so sure you'll get the part," Dak said smiling.
"Well I was the best," Logan said cockily.
"You wish," Dak said as they started down the hall again.
-Big-Time-Rush-
"James you are so annoying," Kendall said.
"Why did you lie to me?" James asked.
"Because I didn't want you freaking out at me," Kendall said annoyed. He wasn't sure how James had found out about him and Logan, but he did.
"Kendall, we can't afford you not being focused this close to the big game," James said, "we need you one hundred percent focused," he said.
"I am one hundred percent focused," Kendall said.
"No you're not," James said, "as long as you're making kissy face with Logan you are thinking about him," he said.
"I am not," Kendall said annoyed.
"Kendall, don't be dumb," Jett said, "as soon as you go on that date the team will come second," he said.
"I am not being dumb," Kendall said annoyed, "look guys it was just a kiss," he said looking around at the team. They were all bombarding him with shouts.
"Just a kiss?" James asked.
"Yes, it meant nothing," Kendall said, "guys if you don't know that I'll put my all into the game then you don't know me," he said.
"We just thought," James started.
"I thought you guys were my friends," Kendall cut him off. He didn't notice Jett who was recording him with his phone.
"We thought you were into theater now," James said.
"Theater means nothing to me," Kendall said annoyed, "it's just detention and after it's done I'll move on. I'll forget about it. Logan means nothing to me, and I'll forget about him too, I'll go out with you guys and we will win together," he said. He walked away from them to his locker to get ready for practice. He didn't notice Carlos was nowhere to be seen or that Jett handed James his phone back.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Logan was in the auditorium after school. Kendall had to be at practice since they had their last game before state tomorrow. Logan missed spending time with him the last few days, but he understood that he had other things he needed to do. Besides Kendall would call him after he got out of practice. Lucy and Camille were off to the side talking and giggling every now and then. Logan then noticed Dak was no where to be seen.
"Guys, where Dak?" Logan asked looking around for Dak.
"Uh," they said slowly.
"He took off after chem.," Camille said.
"That was ten minutes ago," Logan said. He was wondering what Dak was up to. He stood up and started for the door.
"Where are you going?" Camille asked.
"To look for Dak," Logan said.
"Beats sitting around here," Lucy said jumping up and joining him. Camille hung back in the auditorium. "Any idea where to look for him?" Lucy asked.
"Nope," Logan said. The two decided to text Dak and see where he was. They didn't need to get an answer as they heard Dak's cell phone ringing in a closet down the hall. They both looked at one another before walking to the closet. Logan looked at Lucy as she opened the door.
There inside the closet they saw Dak. He wasn't alone though. James was in there too and they both seemed to be attached at the lips.
"Oh my god," Lucy said. The two sprang apart and looked at Logan and Lucy shocked.
