December 9th
Sometimes, when there's a good moment that's happened on the day before, the night that follows grants them a wonderful dream. It's one that makes you want to fall asleep, so you can live in this new reality. Logan could picture it now. He's resting his head on a hard yet soft, warm and loving surface. He can feel two strong, caring, muscle filled arms wrap around his body in comfort. An intoxicating musk fills his nose as the person's natural aroma wafted into the atmosphere. If he could live like this, he'd live in it for eternity. But the real world strikes down, and it strikes down hard.
Waking in a mysterious, yet wonderful bliss, Logan tried to reciprocate his dream into a reality sense. He could feel this sense of nostalgia wash over him, wanting to be at that place he dreams of. He wishes and hopes that one day, he will be able to go there again. He still loves his first experience, being in Kendall's embrace. Will he ever be able to be with Kendall again? Unless his plan is still in tact, that is.
Emerging from his bed, he prepared himself for school, the second last day, he might add. Which means, two days later, and Logan could spent as much time as he could want with family and friends. And Kendall did promise him that they'll see more of each other in this upcoming break. Let's hope he'll keep his promise. However, didn't this really contradict Logan's plan to not see him.
Rushing out of his house, Logan made it early to the bus stop, before he could see the crowd of students form. He looked left and right, letting the quiet sound of the neighbourhood fill his ears. It was soothing and relaxing, the natural sounds sending Logan in a euphoric state of mind. Resting his head against the glass board behind him and shutting his eyes, he heard at least one roar of a car's engine that had pulled up in front of him.
"Need a ride?" Soft, alluring voices pierced through his shell. Letting one eye open, he saw Kendall driving his sweet ride, with a purring engine, and a much more inviting tone from Kendall, that made Logan an offer he couldn't refuse.
"Yeah, sure. Thanks, Kendall." Logan opened the door, a new, strange smell greeted Logan upon entering. The seats within were much different than the rusty, wooden bench he was sitting on a few seconds ago. The hush sounds of the outside world were covered by the gentle rhythms of the sound on the radio. A once lone presence is now accompanied by a companion. It was truly a contrast for Logan to think about.
"You're here a little early." Kendall commented. Logan stared at him for that comment, thinking 'why is here early?'
"I-I couldn't sleep well last night is all. I had this strange dream." Logan had no choice but to tell the truth. Luckily, he didn't need to go into detail.
"Oh yeah? Wanna tell me about it?" Kendall spoke while having fixed eyes on the road. Logan does trust him, so he would be able to tell him. Hopefully he won't react to boldly.
"Well, first of all, it was a pretty wonderful dream I had. Um, Kendall, you know that hug we had yesterday?" Logan was shy and bashful, trying to avoid his eyes, even though Kendall wasn't suppose to spare a glance his way.
"Yeah, I remember. I also remember you grabbing onto me like your life depended on it."
"O-Oh, so you noticed that?" Logan was embarrassed, with pink, rosy cheeks to accompany.
"Yeah, well it's kind of hard to forget." Kendall turned down into a street, closer and closer to the school grounds.
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, you were really warm to hold onto."
"Hmm, really? I hadn't notice. Do you like my hugs, Logan?" Kendall smirked knowingly. And Logan was under his control yet again.
"maybe.. " Logan tried to hide it, but he couldn't deny his dream, his desire for his palace of sanctuary. And if confessing to Kendall meant living there, then he would.
Kendall chuckled a bit at Logan's little comment. "You're adorable, Logan." Feeling more flushed, he raised his hands to cover his face, and he could feel heat radiate from his skin. His heart beating more rapidly, and loud echoes of those beats ringing in his ears. As they pulled up to the school grounds, they see that they are one of the earliest students to reach the school.
"Hey, do you want to practice some more for tomorrow? James is gonna want us to nail it in front of the school." Kendall and Logan unloaded from his car, Kendall picking up his school bag from the back seat and walked side by side with Logan up the steps into school territory.
The two proceeded into the music room, trying to decide on a song to practice on. They had a lot they needed to get through. Logan had some glimpses of the Christmas decorations that filled the small room, and he could feel the cheer enter through him, and make smiles dawn on his face.
"Let's try this one, Logan. A lot of harmonies to get through." Kendall suggested, in which Logan had to agree too. He had to maintain a lot of pitch changes to match his friend's tones.
With a deep breath, Kendall began, "Silent Night, Holy night, All is calm, all is bright," Logan hummed the backtrack for Kendall's part, and now it was time for Logan to start singing, so Kendall took his job over.
"Round yon virgin, mother and child, Holy infant, so tender and mild," And now the two needed to keep in sync as the next part was done together.
"Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.." The two were able to carry off that last note as it blending of their voices made a special unity, a unique sound that filled the room. The two continued to sing in sweet rhythm, eyes fixed on the lyrics and the meaning of the song. Then, James and Carlos made a surprise appearance as they entered the room.
"Hey, sounding great. We're going to nail this, won't we." James smiled widely and toothy, as Carlos slipped on a Santa's hat on his head, and an elf's har on his own.
"Hey Logan, did we mention that we're also booked to bring some Christmas cheer to the kids at your dad's hospital? He hired us to bring a "special gift" to all the girls and boys that are staying overnight at the hospital for Christmas. It'll be great, won't it?" Carlos walked over to Logan and slipped on reindeer antlers in his soft spikes.
"Wow, that's amazing guys, I'd love to do that." Logan smiled warmly at the idea of helping out the hospital. He knows how much strains going to be put on his dad at this time of the year.
"Good, well then let's get lots of practice in. C'mon guys, A one, a two, a one, two three four-" They started to bellow, but the school bell rang and Logan had a test on that afternoon, so needed all the study he could get.
"Sorry guys, but we'll practice after, yeah?" And on that note, Logan made a quick getaway to his study room.

The sun set orange as it painted the sky in a variety of beautiful warm colours. After their long and tiring hours of practicing and harmonies, Kendall offered to escort Logan home in his car. Logan was really grateful for Kendall's kind and generous offer, knowing that he could just walk his way home. But he'll be seeing more of him in two days soon, so let's start now.
"You seemed really excited in having us working at the hospital. Is it because of your dad?" Kendall pushed some of Logan's buttons, feeling more sentimental and emotional.
"Yeah, my dad's kind of busy. I haven't seen him in quite a while now. He's been working for days straight without rest. I'm just worried is all."
"Don't worry we'll work this out and make your dad's like a little easier, okay?"
"Yeah, we'll make the kids feel happy, and make them smile, like I would hope to be on Christmas day. That's all I'm wishing for now. A perfect Christmas." Kendall looked over at Logan, smiling reassuringly.
"We'll make a perfect Christmas for you Logan. Me, James, Carlos and your parents. You deserve it, Logan."
"I just hope everything pans out. Otherwise I'd be wishing on a star for nothing."
"What's that, Logan?"
"Oh, nothing. Absolutely nothing at all." And as Logan said that, He kept his eyes high and wide at the sky as the night drew closer, and the stars littered the sky.
