Hey guys again, you people so rock and I feel like I'm letting you down because I had something to go by here but I got so lazy for this. But anyways It's a dramatic point in the story so hopefully you're feeling what I'm trying to say. I'm a bit out of it for this chapter. But I'll try and make it more dramatic and romantic even for the next part. But for now, Enjoy!
That's How he Knew: He saw green part 1
It's been a month since Logan and James met, a month since Logan loved it here. James has made Logan see something so special and significant that he could not fathom into words, rather into an emotion or expression. But even he couldn't even decipher this. At least not yet. But Logan didn't care if he noted it or not, he just wanted it there And it was always there whenever Logan saw deep into James' eyes, so bright and so warm. Behind his brown cocoa shades, he saw into his soul. Everytime he looks at him, he could see his soul and it was warm, bright and shining like the sun. All he could say about it was that he sees yellow.
The bright sun was now being more present day by day as the seasons shift. And where there is sun, there is always the time for outdoor activities. Nothing beats the beauty of nature, the shining colours capturing your eyes, the warm sensation of the rays as it hits your skin. And Logan wants to embrace that. He wants to embrace it with James even more.
Logan's making his way over to James, across the bridge and to his window, welcoming the newly risen sun. He knocked on his window, "James, wakey wakey. The sun is out, It's time to come out, Open your eyes and rise up and shine." Logan perkily sing-song his little morning rhyme. And as always, James is grouchy and groggy but opens his window so Logan could come in.
"C'mon James, the sun is smiling and it's a perfect day."
"Oh, Logie." James was pleading for more time for sleep. "You know I love to spend time with you, but I'm too tired now. Call me in a half hour." James collapsed back into his pillow, face first. But that didn't stop Logan at all. In fact, Logan was bouncing up and down and tried to shake his bed down like an earthquake.
But when he didn't move a budge, he did something almost...sensual. He placed his hand on the base of his back, and slowly and softly trailed his fingers up and up, until he reached his shoulder blades. He proceeded to rub smooth, small circles and grasped his shoulders so softly, it was relaxing. James, hid a smile in his pillow, and he didn't want to say, a moan. But when it got too much, he had to let it all go.
"Mmm, Logie, Oh that feels good." James breathed in and out, feeling himself restless and helpless in Logan's soft, tender grasp.
"Oh yeah? You like that, huh?"
"Mhmm, just one question. Why are you doing this?" James had to ask, but he didn't argue. He liked it.
"You were grouchy and grumbling, I thought you were stressed, so I'm giving a once in a lifetime back rub massage."
"Mmm, I could stay like this forever."
"Yeah, and you could, once you get out of bed." On that note, Logan stopped altogether and got James to beg for more.
"You-You're such a tease." Logan giggled and flipped James over on his back and looked at James in the eye. And what caught his attention more was his smile. So genuine and sweet, it brought him to smiles too. He saw into his eyes and again, he could see that bright yellow soul that made him tingle a bit. His stomach is in knots, and he feels slightly light headed. He was brought back into reality as James started talking.
"Logie, I want to spend as much time with you as I can, but today, I can't do much. I got training again, and this time, since spring's approaching and ice hockey season's starting to close, we're now training for the street hockey team. And coach wants us to go full at it, before it starts." Logan was simply lost in his eyes, but he could see the colour start to drain, and what James had actually said.
"Oh, well that's okay. I'll come with you to practice then. I always have and I'll cheer you on"
"Thanks, but street hockey really isn't much strength, ice hockey is better."
"If you say so,"
"But I promise, we'll spend whatever lasts for the night together." James made the promise, and Logan knows that James always keeps his promises. Even the one he will forever remember, 'he'll be by my side forever.'
–
Logan and James made their way down to the rink to meet up with Carlos and Kendall and the whole team, already suited up for their hockey training. Once everyone had gathered around the coach, he proceeded with saying, "Okay, team. It's now street hockey season so we need to get ready for our first match in two weeks time. That doesn't give us much time for training." The whole team seemed scared for the hard training they were prepared to undertake.
"But, I'd like to give some attention over to our team captain, Mr Knight for his wonderful efforts of hard training for this approaching season. And I don't mean to show any favourtism or anything, but he deserves to be rewarded. He's allowed to take today's training off, while I inspect all of you to construct the team arrangements." The whole team erupted in groans and glares to Kendall, who was looking small.
"Well I didn't mean to upstage you guys. You know how much I like street hockey better." They agreed and groaned and looked away. Kendall turned around and noticed Logan sitting alone on the bench, thinking he's felt so isolated.
"Hey, James. How about I spend the time just entertaining Logan. He looks kinda sad." James turned to Kendall then turned to Logan to note that he had a good point.
"Yeah, that'd be awesome. Thanks, Kendall."
"And hey, maybe he'll be good at hockey in the end." They both laughed and Kendall walked over to Logan.
"Hey mister lonely. Are you okay?" Kendall waved his gloved hand in front of Logan's face to catch his attention.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. I was just watching you guys practice. How come you aren't practicing?"
"I'm just that good Logan, I don't need it"
"Huh? Really? I bet you are" Logan played and joked around with Kendall.
"Doubting me? How about I show you just how good I am. Come on, let's play. I'll teach you a few things." Kendall was being so friendly, he offered his hand for Logan to take. Logan smiled a bit at how nice Kendall was being for him. He brought him up and strapped on some skates for him, a helmet and a spare hockey stick.
"You know how to skate right?"
"Y-Yeah, on the ice, I'm okay." Logan tried to steady himself as he got up, but fell over forward. But luckily Kendall was in front of him and caught him before he fell face first. Deja vu, Logan felt he's been here before. Except now it's Kendall that caught him.
"You Okay? Roller skates are harder than ice skates." Logan felt his face flush as he looked at Kendall, he could see his blue eyes, and his playful smile and he replied with a goofy smile and rubbed the back of his head.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. I'll get the hang of it." Logan noticed how close they were. Now he knows he's seen this before. As this happened, James was looking at how the two were doing. He was glad that Logan was having a bit of fun, when he was unavailable at the time. But he did wish that it was him that was teaching Logan about hockey, rather than Kendall. But he was the better one so.
"Okay, now hold onto your hockey stick-"
"Like this? James taught me how." Logan positioned his grip at the right places.
"Yeah, that's about it. Except.." Kendall stood behind Logan and brought his figure up straight, loosen his grip and positioned him the way he did so. James seeing this couldn't help but think that they were getting way too much close than they needed. But he didn't put it past him, he placed it to the back of his mind. Carlos was starting to notice that James was losing it on the field.
"Okay, now let's do some simple hockey training exercises. Just try and deflect these pucks. It helps understand your own stance once you get the hand of it." Logically speaking, Kendall was actually making sense to Logan. They started getting into it, and Logan was starting to get the hang of it. Let alone, a few misses here and there, but he was getting use to it. But either way, Logan was laughing so gleefully and having so much fun. He was giggling and Kendall caught on noting it's contagiousness. They were both laughing so loudly, it brought James to pay attention to them.
"Hey James, focus man." Carlos placed a hand on his shoulder and shook him a little. He snapped back to look at Carlos and shyly responded, "Sorry."
"Dude, you keep looking over at Logan and Kendall, is something the matter?" James looked back at the two having so much fun and he started to feel kinda sad that he didn't make Logan laugh like that.
"I-It's nothing. Just..Just have a lot on my mind, is all." His voice seemed so low, he was almost whispering, almost sad.
"You're not jealous of Kendall, are you? Just because he's spending time with Logan?" Carlos spoke, pushing a few buttons on James. He really got hit there, maybe he was jealous.
"Um, No, not really. I mean it's great that Kendall's able to entertain Logan since we can't, but I can't help but think that maybe we should be with them too."
"Well, I don't know about you but I need to improve on my street hockey skills so I'd rather be training."
"Yeah, you're right. But... it's eating at me for some reason."
"James, just admit, you're jealous aren't you?" Carlos was now mischievously smirking at James, as if making a point which got a glare to form from James.
"Maybe. Okay, I am. I'm jealous that I couldn't make him laugh like that, like how Kendall is." James, was feeling weak and almost fell on his butt feeling defeated.
"Look I know how it feels that you wish something could happen for the better, but it's not happening. But you shouldn't worry about it okay? Just shake it off and don't worry about it, I know that you want to be with him and I want to too but let's just get this over and done with. I bet Logan would want you to spend time with him too, but it's not helping that you are going green for him." Carlos was right. He just let it phase him, hearing the sounds of Logan's laughter and went back to practicing.
That's how he knew he saw green. But Logan didn't see it yet.
Hey, so yeah I was a bit off today, I had an angle where Carlos was being Carlos but he was kinda being skeptical so he's not really playing his character properly but i promise you Carlos will be Carlos and it'll be more dramatic and romantic next chapter, even though not much has happened at the moment. But it's something to anticipate and I hope you stick around. Til next time =D
