A/N: Okay, I know you guys want more of my amazing story, but this is more of a filler chapter. The next one sort of is too, but it adds a bit to the story. This is more of a build up to the next one. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 7: From the Heart

December 25, 2010 (Haha, you guys know where this is going, huh?)

Logan awoke rather abruptly to the sudden motion of his bed. He kept his eyes shut and blindly swatted a pillow, eventually hitting his unknown mark. There was a yelp and Logan immediately opened his eyes and sat up in his bed. "Oh my god, Carlos are you okay?" he asked, worry in his voice.

Carlos bounced up, and the motion was enough to make Logan jump up, startled. "Yeah, I'm fine." He patted his helmet. "That's what this baby's for."

Logan laughed, then abruptly was serious. "What the hell were you doing?" he asked sharply.

Carlos tried to hold back his excitement, but failed. "It's Christmas!"

Logan glanced at the clock. "Carlos, it's five in the morning. Christmas doesn't start until at least ten."

"Maybe not for you, but to everyone else it started twenty minutes ago with Mama Knight's yummy breakfast." Carlos smiled.

"Ugh, Carlos, it starts at five in the morning for you and only you. Right, Kendall?" Logan turned to his boyfriend's bed, only to find that it was empty. "What the hell?"

"I told you so," Carlos sang, sticking his tongue out.

Logan got out of bed and playfully punched Carlos' arm. "Alright, fine. I'm up. Let's get this over with so I can go back to sleep."

Carlos smiled and dragged Logan to the living room. The two boys sat down in between James and Kendall, Logan immediately leaning into his boyfriend and yawning. Carlos turned to him. "If you fall asleep, I will burn your presents."

Logan brought his head up from Kendall's shoulder and smiled at Carlos. He nodded, and Carlos immediately dived into the pile of presents, throwing any that weren't his to random corners of the room. Halfway through the pile, the others pulled him out. Carlos pouted. "But I wanted my presents."

The group laughed. "Be patient, Carlos," Ms. Knight said.

Carlos sat back down and crossed his arms over his chest, still pouting. Everyone laughed, and Ms. Knight retrieved all of the presents Carlos had thrown. After she had, the boys and Katie tore into the pile, grabbing what was theirs and tossing what wasn't back into the pile. It took everyone a good ten minutes to get all of their presents, and a good five to tear through them. After the presents had been opened, everyone sat and talked for a while. Eventually, Carlos grabbed all of his presents and ran into his room, wanting to use all of them as soon as possible. James followed, wanting to make sure that Carlos didn't break anything (such as the apartment), and Ms. Knight and Katie walked back into their room, stating that they needed a few more hours of sleep. Kendall and Logan stood up, and Logan was about to walk to his room when Kendall called him back.

"Logan, wait. There's some more stuff for you."

Logan turned back around curiously. He thought he had found all of his presents, but he obviously missed one. He walked back to Kendall, who was holding two small boxes. He was immediately suspicious. "Kendall…" he started.

"Shh, stop talking and open," Kendall said, handing one of the boxes to Logan.

Logan's eyes never left Kendall's face as he carefully tore the wrapping paper off of the box. He opened it, and looked at what was inside, gasping. "Kendall…"

"Do you like it?" Kendall asked.

Logan pulled the necklace out of the box, studying it as he did. It was a thin silver chain that held a small "L". He smiled. "I love it," he said.

Kendall smiled back. "Good. Now open your other present."

Logan took the other box. It was a lot smaller, and felt very light. Logan opened it curiously, and laughed when he saw what was inside. "Seriously, Kendall?" he asked, pulling out the object.

Kendall smiled and walked closer to Logan, taking the gift. "Yes, seriously." Logan smiled and scoffed. "Oh, come on, you know you love it."

Logan laughed again. "You got me mistletoe."

Kendall smiled and held the plant above their heads. "Yes, I did. Now kiss me before I report you to the Christmas police."

Logan chuckled. "We wouldn't want that," he said, pulling Kendall into a kiss. They stayed like that for a while, Logan's arms wrapped around Kendall's neck, Kendall wrapping one arm around Logan's waist and holding the mistletoe with the other.

"Oh, get a room," someone said.

Logan and Kendall pulled away, blushing slightly at seeing James standing next to them.

Logan yawned. "Yeah, you know, I am pretty tired. I think I'll just go back to bed. See you guys later." He walked back to his room and closed the door behind him.

Kendall turned to James. "You ruined my moment with my boyfriend."

James laughed. "Oh, boo hoo. You two share a room. I'm sure there will be plenty of moments for you two. So calm down and please keep it quiet. We wouldn't want to ruin Katie's virgin ears."

Kendall blushed. "James, you know Logan and I aren't having sex."

"Yeah, I know. That doesn't mean that it won't ever happen. And we all know how loud Logan gets." The two looked to the door, and laughed when they heard Logan fall from his bed. "See, proof the walls are thin."

Logan walked out of his room, blushing wildly. "Am I really that loud?" he asked, embarrassment filling his voice and face. James whistled and looked around the room, and Kendall looked at his boyfriend sheepishly. Logan's eyes widened. "Oh god," he said.

Kendall laughed. "No worries buddy. It's not like you're the only one in this house who does anything."

James scoffed. "I don't."

Kendall laughed. "Yeah, that explains the lube in your drawer and your constant moaning when you think the TV can drown you out. Again, we have thin walls."

James blushed, then suddenly an evil grin spread across his face. "How would you know about the lube, Kendall?"

Kendall blushed. "Well, I…I, uh…" he stuttered.

Logan laughed. "Okay, okay, so all of us do it. Do we really have to talk about it?"

James and Kendall both shook their heads, grateful that the conversation was over. They quickly rushed back to their beds, hoping that another conversation like that didn't come up again in their lives. Ever.

Later that morning, the four boys awoke to find that Ms. Knight and Katie had gotten a callback for the audition in Vegas, and would be gone until after New Years. That meant they had the apartment to themselves. That could only mean one thing: they could do whatever they wanted.

A/N: See, more of a filler chapter. It leads into the next chapter, and I bet some of you can guess where it's gonna lead. Reviews are appreciated.
