Author's Note: Sorry, but when I said 'Tomorrow' in Worth It? I meant the 12, not the 11th. And if you're reading this after the 12 then it doesn't really matter. But, regardless, I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Living in the Night: Three Little Words
Logan waited in his room, hoping that Carlos hadn't changed his mind since yesterday. He didn't want to sound like a spoiled brat, but he wanted Carlos to get there soon. He was about to get up and head towards the waiting room, incase Carlos had already arrived when there was a knock at his door. Logan bolted to the door and quickly opened it, only to find Jim. Carlos peeked around Jim and gave Logan a cute grin.
"Hey Logan! It's good to see you again." Carlos said moving around Jim to pull Logan into a hug. Logan returned the hug, giving the bodyguard a glare when he opened his mouth to protest.
"Good Afternoon Carlos. How was school?" Logan asked when they pulled apart from each other. Carlos just sighed before dragging Logan towards the door that led outside, pausing to let Logan pull on the robe and hat.
Instead of sitting on the benches, they found a big, shady tree and sat underneath it. There they just talked about whatever problems Carlos' was having in his classes. Logan tried to explain it in a way that Carlos could understand, or at least relate to. To the casual observer, it would look like two friends doing their homework together after school, but to Logan it was much more. Jim remained silent but constantly watching Logan, making sure to never keep his eyes off the two for more than a minute.
"Logan, what about this one? It's different than the others." Carlos said pointing to a problem from his math book. Logan glanced at the problem, only to realize that it involved one more step than Carlos was used to. After explaining how to approach the problem, and others like it, Carlos returned to working and Logan returned to watching Carlos.
Around an hour later Carlos had finished his homework and had studied for his upcoming tests. The two boys were now laying on the grass, still in the shade side by side. Logan felt his stomach rumble signaling that he needed another glass of the milk, but Carlos had other ideas.
"Why don't you have Jim go?" Carlos said giving a look at Jim who sat up at the mention of his name. Jim just gave a curt nod before glaring at Logan and taking his leave. The minute Jim entered the building, Carlos pinned Logan to the ground and began kissing him passionately. This continued for a couple of minutes, before Jim returned with the glass of blood-milk for Logan.
"Thank you for being so prompt Jim." Logan said with sarcasm that didn't go unnoticed by the bodyguard.
"Logan?"
"Yes Carlos?"
"Would it be okay if I took you out tomorrow? Just to visit the mall," Carlos noticed the look on Jim's face, "An indoor mall. Just for a while? Please?"
Jim thought about it for a minute before nodding. Carlos just grabbed Logan off of the ground and hugged him tightly, laughing. It was at that moment when Logan promised himself to make Carlos laugh like that every day.
Logan finished the glass before handing it back to Jim; he grabbed Carlos' hand and led him towards the entrance of the building, an idea building in his head. When they arrived at his room, he asked Jim to give them a few minutes of privacy, promising him not to do anything stupid.
"Why did you ask Jim to give us a few minutes Logan?" Logan didn't respond to his question, instead he grabbed Carlos around the waist and pulled him closer.
"I wanted to do something to you without him watching." He said giving Carlos a deep, passionate kiss. It was different than when Carlos kissed him earlier in the field, it wasn't quick or soft. Logan kissed him like his life depended on it.
"I love you Carlos; I want to be yours forever." Logan said breaking the kiss, Carlos just blushed squeezing Logan tighter and burying his face in Logan's chest.
"You don't know what that means to me Logan. I love you too." Carlos mumbled in his chest, Logan heard every word. Jim just opened the door after a few minutes had gone by, only to find Carlos napping against Logan on his bed.
"Just going to leave you two alone. Make sure he leaves before another nurse or orderly finds you two together unsupervised." Jim barely whispered it but Logan heard it all and gave the bodyguard a warm smile.
Carlos just shifted and mumbled something in his sleep before snuggling closer to Logan, who just had a smile on his face as he wrapped his arms around his lover.
"Sweet dreams Carlos." He whispered before closing his eyes and taking a rest.
A/N: Yes, it is shorter, but I can promise the next chapter will be regular length. I hoped the fluff didn't smother you because your reviews are always amazing.
Have a great day/week and I will see you next time! Thanks for the reviews!
