They got home early from Rocque Records, mainly because of Gustavo's writer's block. But the boys were happy to have the afternoon to themselves nonetheless.

"Since we have the after noon off, I'm heading to the pool!" James said excitedly.

"I think I'll come too, I could use some sun." Logan agreed. "You guys coming?" he asked looking mostly at Carlos.

"Nah, I need to finish my homework, I kinda put it off until now…" Carlos replied, disappointed.

"Yeah, me too," Kendall laughed, "Plus Carlos will probably need my help anyway."

"Alright," Logan sighed, "Looks like it's just me and James, then. James?"

"Sorry, cute girl." James yelled while chasing the girl down the hall.

"Well I guess it's just me…" Logan said looking down and shuffling toward the elevator, and closing the door behind him.

"Good, time to talk." Kendall said turning to Carlos.

"Oh yeah, what did you wanna talk about? There is Ghost isn't there?"

"Ugh. There is no ghost. This is something important."

"Well, what is it then?"

"Logan told me that he was gay."

"Oh, well whatever, that's fine," Carlos replied nonchalantly.

"See I didn't know if he told anybody else yet, so I didn't want anybody to be totally surprised, so I figured I'd tell everybody first so they wouldn't be freaked out. I don't want him to have to worry about what you guys would think, or that anything would change."

"Yeah," Carlos smiled. "We're all friends, nothing's gonna change that, especially what me and Logan have, I wonder why he wouldn't tell me, I mean, no offense Kendall, but Logan and I are just really close."

"Yeah, I guess he just wasn't sure how you would react." Kendall lied, knowing the real reason Logan was hesitant to tell Carlos.

"Well, I guess so," Carlos shrugged, buying Kendall's cover. "I should go down to the pool, just to hang out and so he's not alone, I won't tell him we talked about this though, I'll let him tell me when he's ready."

"What about your homework?" Kendall joked.

"Pshhhhhhhh" Carlos shook his head.

Carlos grabbed his pool bag and ran off to the elevator. When he got to the pool he saw Logan sitting in a lawn chair, with his head in his hands looking rather bored, and even a little sad. Carlos walked over to his friend and sat next to him on the end of the chair.

"What's wrong buddy?" Carlos asked putting his arm around Logan who was taken by surprise.

"Nothing, now that you're here." Logan smiled up at Carlos looking into his glimmering brown eyes, "Let's hit the pool!"

Carlos got up and took his t-shirt off. Logan's eyes drifted to Carlos' chest and his abs, he was gorgeous. Carlos pushed Logan into the pool playfully, and after he struggled to swim for a few seconds, Carlos began to laugh uncontrollably and then jumped in after Logan. They preceded to dunk each other in the water, until, gasping for air they both yelled out "TRUCE!" and laughed again. Carlos began floating on his back as Logan watched, he couldn't keep his mind off of how beautiful Carlos was, his tan skin, and perfect body, not to mention how his hair looked perfect even when it was wet. He wished he could tell Carlos how much he liked him, but knew his feeling wouldn't be returned. So he just shook his head, and decided he would have to tell him he was gay sooner or later and realized the sooner he told him, the better.

They got out the pool to dry off, and take in a little of the LA sun.

"Hey, Carlos, can I tell you something?" Logan asked, with some audible fear in his voice.

"Yeah, bro you can tell me anything, you know that." Carlos knew where this was headed.

"Carlos, I'm gay."

"You know that doesn't change anything, man, we're still best friends. Nothing's ever gonna change that. I don't care if you like guys."

"Thanks, Carlos. Your friendship means a lot to me." Logan sighed, he knew he had to tell Carlos that he liked him, but that would have to wait.

Carlos was a little nervous, which was strange for him, he had never been nervous around anyone, especially Logan. Was it the fact that he knew Logan was gay now? He wasn't sure, but something felt, different. He didn't know what it was until he looked at Logan smiling at him. When he looked at him felt his heart beat faster. What was this weird feeling he couldn't describe? OH CRAP. He thought, this can't be happening.

"Well, let's head upstairs, I'm hungry."

"Oh yeah, sure," Carlos replied not really sure what Logan had just said.

"So what do you wanna do for dinner? I could order us all a couple of pizzas or something. Carlos? Why are you staring at me?"

"Logan I…"

"What?"

Carlos felt really weird, he hadn't felt like this about anyone before, but now he knew what it was, he liked Logan but he just couldn't get the words to come out. So he decided to do whatever popped into his head. Carlos looked around to make sure no one was there.

"Seriously Carlos wha-"

Carlos pushed Logan up against the wall, and crashed his lips to Logan's who was shocked and didn't know how to react, but then gave in to the kiss. Their bodies were pressed together, still slippery from the pool. Logan had never felt better than he did in this moment, he felt safe in Carlos' arms, and the kiss was everything he had ever imagined. Their tongues fought for control, and Logan twisted his fingers through Carlos's short black hair, but then suddenly Carlos pulled away.

"Um, um, I have to go…" Carlos ran off not knowing where to go or what to do. What the hell did I just do? He thought as he ran away as fast as he could. Logan was left standing by elevator button, breathless, had this really just happened, or had he imagined the entire thing?
