(fyi: you might wanna re-read the last chapter... it's a bit confusing)

Logan Mitchell (8:41pm): Listen Kendall, if it were life or death and I were gay, yes, dating you would be the logical way to respond. But I seriously don't see the value in having this conversation, and it's actually making me a little uncomfortable, so can we please move on and talk about something else?

Kendall remained emotionless, working his way towards the other texts.

Logan Mitchell (8:59pm): Kendall?
Logan Mitchell (9:34pm): Ken?
Logan Mitchell (10:06pm): Are you still there?
Logan Mitchell (11:32pm): ...Hello?
Logan Mitchell (12:01am): I'm going to bed. Goodnight.
Logan Mitchell (9:05am): Good luck on the show.
Logan Mitchell (10:10am): Good job on the show.

He stared at the latest message, studying every letter until he finally found the will power to draw his eyes away. That couldn't be right. Logan had to feel something for him. He had to be lying. It's impossible for such a strong desire to be so... one sided.

Back in Texas, Logan walked down the stair case to the kitchen, his phone in hand.

"So," Smiled his Grandmother, who was hauled over a counter, skinning potatoes with a butcher's knife. He knew that wasn't the traditionally correct way to do it, though he trusted the elderly women enough to make her own judgement. "My radio tells me Kendall Knight's gonna give you a kiss." The brunette blushed, dropping his eyes.

"Erh..." He said, awkwardly, "He was... he was just kidding..."

"Oh," She returned, grinning to her self, "I wouldn't blame him though; what a kissable face you've got!" Logan rolled his eyes.

"I always liked Kendall," She continued, trading the skinless potatoes for a cheese grater that lay off to the side. She began to grate, watching her Grandson with a tremendous amount of intensity. "He's my favorite of your friends, I think."

"He's my best friend." Logan said.

"Make your self useful and wash those for me," The older woman instructed, referring to a lonely head of cabbage. Logan did as he was told. "I can see that; You two were inseparable. You've always been." She went on, dropping the grate for a moment, "Mama Mitchell tells me this is the first time you've been apart for so long."

"Mama Mitchell?" Logan repeated, having never heard this nick name for his mother before, "Does that make you Gram-mama Mitchell?"

"Gram-mama Mitchell... Grammy Mitchey... any variation is fine," She said, smiling. Logan rolled his eyes playfully. As the two continued to make light conversation, the brunette felt his cell vibrate. He flipped open his phone:

(7 New Messages: Kendall Knight)

He went on to press "read", but his Grandmother interjected.

"I'd rather you talk to me for a bit." She said, tilting her head, "We never talk anymore." Logan shrugged, guiltily stuffing the phone back into his pocket.

"So what's it like being away from Kendall for so long?" Logan forced a thin lip smile.

"I don't know..." He said, dropping his eyes, as if he were embarssed by the words that would follow, "I guess I miss him."

"You guess?"

"I do..."

"I love to watch you two together." The older woman admitted. Logan looked up. She hadn't met Kendall more than a dozen times...

"What do you mean?"

"The way you interact..." She started, her eyes filled with warmth, "It just reminds me of me and your Grandfather..."

"...How so?"

"It's like an invisible string's connected to both of your hearts."

"What?" Logan asked, strangely understanding what the older woman was implying.

"Some people were just meant to find each other." The brunette smiled at this.

Grandma Mitchell went on, "He's lucky to have you. As a friend." With that, the woman took her Grandson in a sweet embrace, before patting him on the back, "No go play with your walkman or whatever it is you had out before." Logan laughed lightly, playing the words over and over again in his head.
No; he was imagining things. Kendall didn't actually want to date him. He just wanted to hear about how great he was. He was just fishing for compliments. And no, Kendall didn't want to kiss him. He just wanted to make the audience laugh.

"He's lucky to have you. As a friend." He heard his Grandmother say as he walked outside onto the frontyard. "Friends."

Logan sat on the steps and read the messages from his friend, excpecting nothing aside from a few "omg sorry; my phone was dead"'s.

Kendall Knight (10:43am): I mean in love.
Kendall Knight (10:43am): I've never loved someone so much in my life
Kendall Knight (10:43am): Ur smart and beautiful and talented and compassionate and I can talk to u about anything at anytime
Kendall Knight (10:43am): I'm sorry I can't tell u in person, but I need u to know now.
Kendall Knight (10:43am): I love you and I can't help it

Logan felt his heart fly up into his throat, over come by emotion and excitement and fear and relief, as he thought he'd been going crazy. He couldn't conjure a decent reply, as his brain had since turned to mush.

Logan Mitchell (10:54am): Is this true?

Logan wanted to confirm first, briefly terrified that it might be a sick gag. It wasn't long before the message reached Kendall.

Kendall Knight (10:56am): ...Maybe...

Kendall typed reluctantly, absolutely dispirited after seeing the brunette's reply to their game of "would you rather". Of course he didn't want to make his best friend uncomfortable. Of course he wanted Logan to be happy... But dang-flabbit, didn't he deserve to be happy too?

Logan Mitchell (10:57am): What the hell do you mean maybe, Kendall...? Is this a joke...?

Kendall Knight (10:57am): No

Logan Mitchell (10:58am): ...You're being serious?

Kendall Knight (10:59am): It depends
Kendall Knight (11:00am): ...How do u feel?

Logan Mitchell (11:03am): Well Kendall, I'm not gay...

Kendall Knight (11:04am): ...Is that a no?

Logan Mitchell (11:05am): A no to what?

Kendall Knight (11:06am): What I just said...

Logan Mitchell (11:06am): ?

Kendall Knight (11:06am): Nevermind
Kendall Knight (11:06am): I'm not gay either
Kendall Knight (11:08am): I was just kidding
Kendall Knight (11:09am): Forget it, k?

Logan Mitchell (11:09am): KENDALL

Logan felt his face burn at his friend's attempt to drop the subject. Kendall was the one who brought it up. Kendall would be the one to finish it.

Kendall Knight (11:10am): I'm sorry.
Kendall Knight (11:11am): I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
Kendall Knight (11:12am): It's just...
Kendall Knight (11:13am): U being gone made me realize
Kendall Knight (11:15am): How much I miss u
Kendall Knight (11:16am): And I don't think
Kendall Knight (11:16am): I could live my life without u

Logan sighed, feeling his eyes well up. He quickly dragged the back of his hand across the forming tears, and thought long and hard before responding.

Logan Mitchell (11:29am): So do you miss me, or love me...?

Kendall Knight (11:29am): Both

The brunette took a long, over due breath as everything began to fall into place.

Logan Mitchell (11:30am): Well... I think I might, too.

Kendall Knight (11:31am): ...Miss me?
Kendall Knight (11:32am): or love me?

Logan Mitchell (11:32am): Both.

Kendall Knight (11:33am): ...Srsly?

Logan Mitchell (11:33am): Yup.

Kendall Knight (11:33am): Ok

Logan Mitchell (11:33am): ...?

Kendall Knight (11:34am): U really love me? :)

Logan Mitchell (11:34am): Yup

Kendall Knight (11:35am): :)

Logan Mitchell (11:36am): This is a horrible conversation to have over text though. Can we not talk about it until we're in the same state, again?

Kendall Knight (11:36am): :C
Kendall Knight (11:37am): ...Fine.

Kendall Knight (11:38am): Uh...
Kendall Knight (11:39am): ...So what's the weather like, over there?
