A/N: Well kiddies, I'M BACK! And I've been gone for forever, I know. I apologize. But my computer started acting up and it just recently got fixed. So I when I could, I rustled up something for all those who suffered without it.

Mostly, I wanna thank all who have supported Pinky-Promise. It seriously means a lot to me cuz without you all I might have given up all together. Not to say I'm a quitter, but as much as I have to do now that I'm in high school, I just thought that if no one cared to read this, there was no point in worrying about it… Well you guys sure proved me wrong!

Now enough with this insufferable rambling! Let the story commence!

Though the fear and the tension of everything to come still lingered, James and Logan tried to overlook it all in order to enjoy the McDonalds food as well as each other. They were cautious and at certain points a bit paranoid- Logan even suggesting they just get their meals to go, but James insisted that them being careful didn't mean they had to be completely isolated. But at one point, Logan had to remind James that they couldn't go crazy with their current "freedom".

"Oh! We should go to the mall! There won't be very many people which means I get to kiss you pretty much whenever I feel like it." James said with a small smirk.

While the idea of being able to publicly express their affection was more than appealing to him, bringing a smile to his face; despite the fact that he wanted to be serious about this, Logan still reminded James, (as well as himself), why they couldn't. "James, we can't be so carefree about this. There is a reason we didn't go to school today-"

"Yeah, yeah, our dads and their homophobic selves." James said, rolling his eyes.

Logan sighed, "I know we can't stay locked up in the house, but we-"

"Need to be careful. I know, I know." James said.

Logan frowned slightly, annoyed with the constant interruptions, but shook his head, deciding to let it slide. "Okay, look, maybe we can go Saturday or something. There'd be more people around and if our dad's do come looking for us, they'll have a hard time spotting us.

James nodded, "Ooh! What about Sunday? Our parents would be in church so, you know, less worry." He said with a smile. Logan smiled at him and nodded. "Welp! I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Be right back!" James said, walking over to the bathroom near the counter up front and taking his and Logan's trash with him to throw away on the way. Logan uttered a small "Okay" before going back to his untouched fries and drink, suddenly wishing he had a phone to mess with. He made a mental note to try and get one when they went to the mall. Though they weren't exactly loaded it was still quite a lot of money they were dealing with. So a nice cell phone for each of them and a good plan would probably only leave a small dent.

He took a sip from his drink and slumped back in the chair. Just then, a tall figure made its way present in Logan's peripheral vision. He looked up to find a blond looking at him with a grin. Logan looked around as if he was trying to make sure the stranger was looking at him. "Um… hi-?" Logan said. The stranger sat down where James had just been seated and grinned wider at Logan's confused expression.

"Hi. I'm Jason."

Logan nodded slowly. "I'm Logan. Now, may I ask why it is you chose to randomly come sit with me?" Logan asked.

The stranger- Jason- raised an eyebrow. "Oh, is there a hint of interest I hear embedded in that question somewhere?" Jason asked with a flirtatious smile playing at his lips.

"No, it's a why-are-you-here question, not a hi-let's-flirt question. So why are you here?" Logan asked bluntly.

Jason shrugged. "You're cute, here by yourself, and I'm single." He said, causing Logan to raise an eyebrow with a bored expression on his face.

"Yeah, well, I'm not. I have a boyfriend." Logan stated. Just as he said this, James walked over to them and stood behind the man unsuccessfully flirting with his boyfriend.

"Well, I don't see him anywhere." Jason said with a smirk.

Logan remained quiet, as he knew he wouldn't need to say anything anymore. "Turn around." James then said.

Jason seemed slightly confused- causing Logan to give a smirk of his own- before he turned around to find James standing there with his arms crossed. Jason's eyes widened momentarily- he definitely hadn't expected James to be so… fit- before he regained his composer and stood up.

"Well, I'm not seeing much." Jason said.

James just rolled his eyes, "Oh please. You really think that threatens me in the least? More importantly, that whole flirty thing you were doing with my boyfriend, would never work anyway. He's far too intellectual for that." He said, glancing around Jason and at Logan to find Logan biting back a laugh. He smiled and turned his gaze back to Jason. Boy, did Jason look mad.

Jason scoffed, "How does a guy like you even get a guy like that?" Well, James certainly wasn't expecting that.

But he only shrugged, "I don't know, I ask myself that all the time. But however I got him, it definitely wasn't like that." Jason glared daggers at James, practically growling at him. James only smirked. Then he noticed something that made his smirk fall for a microsecond before coming back.

"Now, if you excuse us, we've got to get going. We only came down here because missed the kind of meals this McDonalds have to offer. But now, we've got to get back, crazy traffic and all." James said, moving around Jason to grab Logan.

"But, I wanna finish my meal first." Logan complained. James just smiled.

"Well you can finish it in the car. But we really needa get going if we're gonna beat that awful traffic, kay? Kay. Let's go." Sensing the urgency in James' demeanor, Logan quickly grabbed his jacket and got up before grabbing his fries and his drink without further argument.

James took the drink out of one of Logan's hand and grabbed it, pulling Logan towards the door. "Well, pleasure meeting you, hope we can't do it again sometime, okay, bye!" James said, walking past Jason. Jason watched them, glaring at James' back, then his gaze caught on something. Seems Logan had dropped his wallet. Jason opened the wallet and his eyes widened at the huge amount of money in it. He sifted around through the wallet some more, finding nothing else but small change, two library cards and a school ID. Interesting… Jason thought.

"Oh, wait, James," Logan said, pausing and pulling his hand out of James' grasp to pack down his pockets. "I think I dropped my wallet." He handed James his fries and went back to the table he was sitting at, confused to find Jason still standing there. Jason's back was turned to him, but Logan could still tell he was looking at something.

"Um… Jason?" Logan asked, standing behind him. Jason snapped the wallet closed, then snapped his head up to look at Logan.

"Oh, Logan, hi." Jason said a bit nervously.

"What... are you still doing here?"

"Oh, yeah, you dropped your wallet. I was just looking to see who it belonged to and, well, it's you." Jason said, giving a short, nervous laugh.

"Okay, well, thanks." Logan said, taking his wallet back and smiling despite his annoyance. It didn't take a genius to know Jason had been snooping. And had it been any longer, Jason might have stolen some money from him.

Jason smiled back at him and Logan turned to leave. At the door, James stood, looking a bit impatient. Logan grabbed the fries out of James' hand and took the hand, leading them out the door. Once in the car, Logan turned to James.

"So, what was the sudden rushing about?" He asked. James looked back at the McDonalds, then at Logan.

"I'll explain that later, right now, let's just get home." James said, putting his seatbelt on then starting the car. He put the car in reverse, then quickly stole a couple fries from Logan before backing out, ignoring the annoyed look he got from him with a small smile.

Back in McDonalds, Jason still stood at the table, watching them leave. He turned away from the direction of the door and pulled out his phone. He quickly dialed a number and turned back around to walk out the door.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Yeah, I got some news for you."

A/N: Okay, I have to admit, this was kinda sloppy… but hey, it's out there. I promise I'll try to do better on the next chapter, but for right now, I gotta put this out there… I think I've said at least a thousand times before… whatever. Review and tell me what you guys think. Any suggestions, commnets, concerns,whatever, don't be afraid to let me have it! But, if it's anything discouraging, please be gentle, I bruise easily…
