Yes, yes. I am alive! This chapter is a bit shorter than I'd like it to be, but I suck at airplane scenes. You'll live.
Oh, and guess what! There's a flashback scene! Aren't you excited? I know I am! Oh, and this chapter centers more around Kendall and Logan, so there will be no James, Carlos, Mama Knight, or Georgia mentioned here today. Sowwy, I just couldn't find a way to write them in without making it sound stupid or awkward.
Have fun reading this giant piece of shit!

"What are you doing?" Logan asks. They have just boarded the plane and Taylor has taken the seat beside him, meaning Kendall is going to sit nowhere near him. Logan has to stop himself from pouting as Taylor struggles to load her carry on into the overhead compartment.

"You and I have to talk, Logie," Taylor says, jumping up and trying to push her bag in. Logan rolls his eyes and reaches up, easily loading the bag in before shutting the compartment door.

"What do we need to talk about?"

"You know what, Logie. Don't freaking play dumb with me." The funny thing is, Logan isn't playing dumb. Of course, he doesn't want to admit this, so he settles for stalling.

"Shouldn't you be sitting with your new boyfriend?" he asks. He doesn't mean to make the word sound bitter, he really doesn't. It just slips out that way.

"You see, this is what we need to talk about! And Carlos has James and corndogs to keep him company," Taylor says, pushing Logan into the aisle when a couple with a baby tries to pass them. Both teens quickly take their seats and Taylor adjusts her position slightly so she's facing Logan. Sort of.

"I'm still confused as to what the hell you're going on about," Logan admits.

"Ugh, boys are so freaking clueless," Taylor moans dramatically.

"Sorry, Ted. Unlike women, men are not telepathic."

"We're not telepathetic-"

"Pathic."

"Whatever. We're not telepathic. We are insightful and we actually notice things. What I'm 'going on about' is your giant-ass crush on Kendall!"

"Shh, not so loud! Walls have ears," Logan scolds, covering his clumsy friend's mouth with his hand. Taylor licks his hand, causing the smart boy to yank his hand back to wipe it on Taylor's arm while muttering "Eww! So gross, germs," under his breath.

"Look, Logan. It's so painfully obvious that you like Kendall. Like, like-like. And it is also painfully obvious that he likes you, too. Like, like-likes. So, why don't either of you say or do anything about it?!" Taylor exclaims, waving his hands back and forth the best she can while in such close proximity with her genius friend.

"Taylor, I'm about to tell you something that I promised to never speak of and if you ever repeat this to anyone, I will gladly behead you," Logan warned.

"I won't speak of it! Cross my heart and hope to die," Taylor promised.

"Okay, we were in 6th grade. It was before we met you and Georgia…"

Flashback:

"Oh, little Logie. Always so pessimistic," Kendall cooed to his smart friend.

"So afraid of everything!" Carlos added, slapping his helmet on before giving it his two lucky taps. Logan rolled his eyes.

"I am not pessimistic, nor am I afraid," he began, giving Carlos a pointed look."I am just more cautious. Something you three could learn about."

"We are so cautious!"James cried. "Why don't you want to do this with us, Logie?"

"I thought you loved us!" Kendall yelled dramatically, engulfing his friend in a bear hug. Logan sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I am not going to help you vandalize the principal's office!"

"Then why are you coming with us?" James and Carlos asked simultaneously, smug looks on their faces.

"That way if one of you beats the crap out of the other, I can reset the bones," the short brunet replied, snarky.

"Nobody is going to break any bones!" Kendall said in an official manner that left no room for disagreement. "There may be suspension at risk, but it's highly unlikely."

"Logan's extended vocabulary is rubbing off on you, man," Carlos said. Kendall's eyes widened.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?" Kendall yelled, poking the side of Logan's face. He quickly slapped Kendall's hand away.

"Dude, why are you so moody?" James asked.

"I am not moody," Logan snapped.

"See? That right there is moody. Do we need to get you some Midol or something, bro?" James teased.

"I hate you all."

"You don't mean that, Logie," Kendall said with a cute pout. Logan quickly looked away, eyes widening.

Did I just call my friend cute? he thought. Shaking his head, he turned back to his friends and rolled his eyes.

"Maybe I do not mean it entirely, but I am 100% sure that you three will be the cause of my early demise," Logan said.

"In normal words, Loges," Carlos requested.

"One day, you will kill me," the smart boy reiterated.

"Aww, don't be like that, Logie bear! We love you!" Kendall exclaimed happily.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Are you sure Principal Jennings won't be in there?"

"Positive."

"What the frack happened to 'Oh yeah, he's not gonna be there. Blah blah BLAH!'?" Logan cried, panicking.

"I didn't think he'd come back so soon! And I also didn't think James and Carlos would leave us for dead like that!" Kendall said defensively.

"Well guess what? It happened and now James and Carlos are probably more than halfway home and –oh my god! I am going to be in so much trouble!" Logan wheezed.

Kendall immediately sensed the panic attack that was going to be hitting his friend in about a minute if he didn't do anything to prevent it. Kendall grabbed the smart boy's hand quickly and began stroking circles into it with his thumb while mumbling kind words, trying to calm Logan down. When that didn't work and the smart boy continued hyperventilating, he moved his hands to the boy's temples, massaging them gently with his fingertips.

"Shh, shh, calm down. You'll be okay, okay?" he whispered soothingly. Logan slowly nodded, looking up to meet Kendall's eyes. Those green eyes.

"…and before I knew what I was doing," Logan continues telling in a rushed whisper, "we were kissing and then we promised that there would be no repeat and we never spoke of it again," he finishes.

"Wow…" Taylor mumbles, wide-eyed. "I definitely did not know or expect that, although I can't say I'm surprised."

"What do you mean you're not surprised?"

"Well, you and Kendall have always been seriously close. It makes sense that you two would do something like that. Stealing each other's first kiss and all." Logan can only sigh and shake his head as Taylor says this. He shrugs and mumbles something under his breath and all Taylor can say is "I'm right and I'll prove it."

Then the seatbelt light comes on as the captain announces their take-off.

"Better buckle up."

With Kendall

"Why are you pouting?" Katie asks, looking at her brother curiously.

"I'm not pouting," Kendall says defensively as he helps his little sister load her carry-on into the overhead compartment. He slams it shut to make sure it clicks before turning to his baby sister, who looks a little bit too smug for his tastes. "What?"

"You're all pouty because Logan's sitting with Taylor." She definitely doesn't ask it. Her tones leaves no room for debate.

"…Maybe."

"AHA! So you admit you have a crush on him!"

"Whaaaaat? I don't… have a crush… on Logan." He doesn't mean to sound unsure, but Katie still hears it and smirks.

"Yeah you do." Just then, the captain announces take-off and orders everyone to put their seatbelts on and Kendall jumps at the chance to change the subject.

"Better buckle up."

"Kendaaaall…" a voice singsongs. "Kendalllll… Kendallllll…" Pause"KENDALL, WAKE UP!"

"GAH! What?" Kendall yelps as he bolts upright in his seat just to come face-to-face with Katie.

"You fell asleep and now we're in LA and you need to wake up already!" Katie exclaims. "Your giant face was starting to numb my shoulder."

"I'm up, I'm up! Sorry about your shoulder."

"No prob," Katie says with a shrug. "I fell asleep too. Now buckle up because we are 'beginning our descent' into California." Kendall nods before buckling his seatbelt and watching Katie do the same. And then the decent began.

Hello, California!

So, yeah. That happened. Logan and Kendall kissed when they were eleven and then never spoke of it again. Logan had a flashback freak-out and Kendall almost confessed that he still likes Logan. Can you say 'LACK OF DRAMA'? I can.

LACK OF DRAMA

I am lame.

Reviews make me happier than Christopher Columbus with a speedboat! Or a bodybuilder directing traffic. Or… an author getting kind reviews. Something like that.
