"How… how is this possible?" Kendall finally asked – he had dutifully followed Ethan back to Study Hall, where the two sat at their table, facing each other. Kendall had been paralyzed for a few minutes as he processed what the small brunette across from him had revealed. Ethan just shrugged at Kendall's words and sighed as he continued to read his book. "How did you know?" Ethan closed his book and looked at Kendall then, taking in the messy blonde hair and the shiny-green eyes that were aimed at him in shock, surprise, and confusion.

"When you bumped into me on the first day of Mating Class. You offered me your hand to help me up. I saw it under your bracelets."

"You've known since then and didn't tell me?!"

"I wanted to be sure. But now all of our friends are paired up, so I figured it was time to let you know."

"None of my friends are paired up yet… Unless you know something else you aren't sharing with me." Ethan shrugged and looked back at his book. "Ethan."

"You said it yourself – James and Logan were hiding something from you… if you just watch the way they've begun to act around each other… it's a simple observation really. And as for Carlos, I was heading to the library this morning when I heard him talking with the principal," Ethan said with another shrug. Kendall sat back in his seat and thought about what Ethan had just told him before the words really registered.

"Wait! You think… James and Logan?"

"It's just a theory."

"… I'll worry about that in a minute. What about … us?" Ethan looked at Kendall and smiled softly.

"I know you probably never planned on a guy being your match. I know I definitely didn't; but here we are."

"Here we are." Ethan smiled at Kendall, who returned it hesitantly. "So… you like sports?"

"We should tell Kendall and Carlos," Logan told James, who was standing over him, one arm braced against the locker which Logan was leaning against. "I mean… they're our best friends. If we're going to give this a shot…"

"Yeah," James said, leaning a little closer to James. Logan blushed and looked away.

"Stop it."

"Stop what?"

"Being James Diamond. Just stop," he said, pursing his lips.

"I'm sorry," James said, nudging Logan. "I'm going to tell Kendall, and you tell Carlos."

"Why do you get Kendall?"

"Because… he's protective of you. We all know how he is. It's better if I tell him; then he won't try to punch you." Logan chuckled and patted James's arm.

"Let me tell him. Okay?" James nodded and Logan skirted pass him. "I'll see you later. Tell Carlos!"

"I will!"

"Wait wait wait. You mean to tell me that you and that guy Kendall are matches?" Benny asked while he and Ethan ate lunch. Ethan nodded while Benny gaped at him. "How… how is that possible? I mean… you're not gay, are you?"

"No Benny," Ethan said with an aggravated sigh. "But I don't have a choice in the matter. Kendall and I match."

"But… I mean…"

"Why's it bother you anyways?" Ethan asked, suddenly defensive. "Not all of us can have a hot older woman as our match."

"Hey I had no control over that!"

"Exactly! Like I had no control over me and Kendall! So we just have to deal with this!"

"… What's wrong with us?"

"I don't know," Ethan said with a sigh. "We've never been this… defensive towards each other."

"We've never had to share each other before." Ethan looked at the serious expression on his friend's face and realized he was right.

"Yeah, we haven't, had we?"

"I didn't think… I didn't think it would be this hard to do."

"Yeah… we'll figure something out, won't we?"

"Yeah, of course we will."

Kendall looked at Logan, who blushed at his stare and looked down at his feet.

"What did you have to tell me?"

"… I found my match." Kendall's face was impassive as he thought about what Ethan had told him earlier and what Logan was telling him now.

"Did you now? And may I ask who it is?"

"… James," Logan whispered, making Kendall see red for a minute before he shook his head.

"Well, good for you two. And guess what, so did I."

"Really?! … Who is it?"

"That guy, Ethan? Yeah, we match," Kendall said, showing his bracelet-covered wrist to Logan. He didn't miss the look in Logan's eyes as he processed that.

"Well, that's great. I'm happy for you."

"Yeah… same here." They were silent for a moment before Logan looked at Kendall.

"Are you mad?"

"No," Kendall said with a reluctant sigh. "Just… confused."

"Me too."

"I doubt we're confused for the same reasons." Logan looked at Kendall and grasped his wrist in a soft grip for a minute.

"I'm sorry Kendall."

"Don't be Loges. Shit happens." Logan and Kendall just stared at each other before they both sighed and went their separate ways.

"So you and Logan huh?" Carlos asked, making James nod. "Wow. Did not expect that to happen."

"Yeah… but I mean, you got twins! That's gonna be fun to deal with." Carlos rolled his eyes at that and sighed.

"Yeah, I've got my hands full." The two nodded in understanding before Carlos leaned forward. "Can I tell you something?"

"Sure. What is it buddy?"

"I kinda… hoped it would've been you."

"Me? Why?"

"I had this little crush on you. But I'm glad you're with Logan. You two will be good for each other."

"You… liked me?" Carlos nodded and the shrugged. "I'm sorry Los."

"Don't be," he said, waving his hand at James. "I'm happy for you. Really."

"I'm happy for you too." The two shared soft smiles before they got up.

"Tell Logan to treat you right. Otherwise I'll go crazy on him." James chuckled and nodded.

"I'll make sure to let him know."

"Was I right?" Kendall and Ethan were sitting next to each other in the Mating Class today, trying to get to know each other. Kendall rested his hand on Ethan's and leaned his head back, seeing James and Logan as well as Carlos and his Twins talking to each other.

"Yep."

"You okay?"

"I don't know… Logan and I have always been close, and now…"

"He's gone. I know how that feels." Kendall looked and followed Ethan's eyesight, where Benny and his match Sally were talking quietly to each other, her hand on his knee the whole time.

"At least we found each other. Right? There's a bright side." Ethan looked at Kendall and smiled, turning his hand so their fingers interlocked.

"Yeah. That is the bright side, isn't it?"

Aw, so many feelings going on here!

I hope ya'll liked it and thanks for reading!
