A/N: Thank you to those who gave me birthday wishes. I really appreciated it. It was a great weekend, but it also kept me from this. I think this chapter is one of my favorites. It was so easy to write. Again, please READ, REVIEW, SHARE, and ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I still cannot lay any claim over BTR no matter how many times I wish on an eyelash.
"Oh, hey, Kendall!" Logan greets the figure sitting on the couch as he enters the apartment.
Kendall flinches a little at the familiar voice. 'Geez, this is going to be harder than I thought.'
"Hi, Logan! Haven't seen you around all day. What have you been up to?" Kendall tries painfully to make small talk.
"Not much. Carlos and I actually had an interesting conversation."
"Really? What about?" Kendall hopes that Carlos didn't give Logan any ideas.
"Well… you, actually." Logan responds a little uncomfortably.
Kendall gives him a confused but determined look. Logan moves from the doorway and takes a seat across from Kendall. They both take deep breaths.
"Yeah… um… he was actually asking me to lay off."
Kendall relaxes back into the couch. "Lay off what?"
"Come on, Kendall. Don't think I haven't noticed the way you've acted around me the past few days."
"How have I acted?" Kendall asks defensively.
"Like you're walking a tightrope and you've moved two inches, thinking that one more step and I'll come up and push you over."
Kendall's eyes widen at the realization that Logan knew.
"Up until my conversation with Carlos earlier, I really liked seeing you out of your element. Carlos opened my eyes and showed me how that was affecting the reason we're here in LA in the first place."
"So I had every right to be nervous," Kendall said aloud to himself.
"What?"
Kendall breaks from his daze. "Hmm… huh… oh… uhhh… nothing." He taps his finger on his knee. "Soooo… what are you trying to say?"
"Ummm… can we try to get things back to normal? I don't know if I can take another day of Gustavo yelling at us for rearranging dance numbers."
They both chuckle at the thought.
"You promise you won't cause me any physical harm?" Kendall asks timidly.
"I promise."
"Alright, I'll try not to be flinchy anymore. It's gonna take a while. I never knew how menacing you can be."
Logan just smiles and the tension in the room slowly fades. Carlos and James enter the apartment not too long after and see the two friends involved in a heated game of table hockey.
"I play winner!" Carlos exclaims.
Everything finally feels right.
Later at dinner, Logan asks, "What would you guys say to inviting the girls over for movie night this week? I mean, Kendall already spilled it to Camille. It'll be a matter of time before one of them asks if they can join us."
The boys readily agree and are silently kicking themselves for not thinking about it sooner.
"Mom, is that okay with you?" Kendall contentiously asks for permission.
"Of course, just let me know if you need me to get anything."
"Logan, it's your week by the way. What are we going to watch?" James asks.
"I haven't decided..." The others open their mouths to make suggestions but Logan stops them. "… I have two to choose from, but I'm going to make it a surprise. I promise it's not Rent though."
Logan grins at Carlos.
"Haha. Very funny." Carlos pretends to be hurt by the remark.
After that, they change the topic to the Wild game happening in less than two hours.
A/N: Next chapter is what you've all been waiting for! Does he? or Doesn't he? Hopefully that'll be out within the next week. ^_^
