Pinning it on the man in Black
Logan woke up feeling completely refreshed, but at the same time utterly stressed. He snatched his phone from the nightstand and saw the bottle of pills with a note:
I know you hated taking these as we grew up, but everyone was worried because the tranquilizer wasn't strong enough to knock you out for more than two hours. But you were out for an entire afternoon. When you woke up and talked to Knight you were out of it for nearly six hours. So now you're gonna have to suck it up and take them. 3 Camille
Logan sighed as he opened the bottle of pills. He always hated taking his medication, made him feel like a crazy person. It always made him eerily calm and with a crazy boost of confidence. But from his friends, he didn't seem to act any differently. Grabbing the water bottle set near the pills he chugged down a pill. Standing up he realized he was in a change of pajamas: a black v-neck and sweatpants. He noticed another note near where the pills were set.
P.S. Mark changed you in your pajamas. We tried to make Knight do it, but he didn't want to make it seem like he molested you or something. ;)
Logan groaned as he threw away the notes in the trash can near the door. He walked out of the apartment and into the loft, and noticed it was still relatively early in the morning. The sun was still slowly rising above the building across the street.
He checked the fridge and found another note attached to the door.
After we 'kidnapped' you Carlos wouldn't stop bugging me about your cooking. Something about me owing him one for the kiss thing… So! He made me fill our fridge with food so you can cook. If that's ok with you. Knight
So far that was the only note to make him smile. The first one just proved to him he might need to get on his meds again, and the second one felt like he was violated by his best friend.
He opened the fridge and was surprised that it was filled to the brim. He grabbed everything he would need to make to have a breakfast for everyone.
It took him an hour, but just as he finished the last of the food, as if on cue, Knight and Carlos walked out of their rooms, and Camille, James, and Jo walked through the front door.
"Food!" Carlos ran to the table and couldn't help but drool at the pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and…
"Fruit parfait?" Knight sat down at the table eyeing the cups on the table filled with a breakfast/ dessert.
"His fruit parfait is amazing. Orgasm in the mouth." James sat down on one side of the table, grabbing one. Camille and Jo took a seat on either side of him. Carlos took a seat on the other side, and 'luckily' for Knight the last two open seats were right next to each other.
"What's fruit parfait?" Carlos ogled the cup, poking the insides with a spoon.
"Yogurt, granola, and berries." Logan answered, taking the last seat next to Knight.
Knight smiled at Logan, and Logan never hesitated in returning it with a grin just as big as a kids on Christmas morning.
"What's granola?"
"Just eat it Carlos." Knight said, taking a bite into the pancake on a plate in front of him. Logan went all out with the food. And by the time they all walked in he served everyone.
Eyeing the cup, Carlos shrugged and too a spoonful of the parfait into his mouth.
His face lit up just after the first bite. "This is amazing!"
"Thanks, but it's nothing special."
Knight got Logan's attention by placing his hand on his shoulder. "Stop that."
"W-what?" Logan was frightened by the intense look Knight was giving him.
"Stop bashing on yourself."
"I don't 'bash' on myself." Logan defended.
"Yes, you do." This past week anytime someone gives you a compliment you always turn it down by bashing on yourself. Stop it."
"…sorry. I can't help it." Logan broke his gaze away from Knight, seeing all their friends smirking. He already knew what those smirks were insinuating.
"It's ok, just, stop it."
"Ok."
"Good." Knights smile returned, which in turn did not make Logan's insides warm. Or give him butterflies in his stomach.
The two sat there staring at each other smiling until Camille not so subtly cleared her throat.
Knight turned to her, a slight glare pointed in her direction. Which only made her smirk widen. Knight ignored it, momentarily and turned back to Logan holding his cup of orange juice to toast. "To Logan! And his amazing breakfast!"
The group cheered and then started to eat the food that tasted as if a five star chef cooked it.
Logan walked out of the shower connected to the guest apartment he was staying at, at Knights building. Logan humming to himself as he had a towel wrapped around his waist and another he used to dry his hair. He took the towel out of his hair to yelp, seeing James, Camille and Jo waiting for him.
Using the towel he just used to dry his hair, he covered his midsection still felling naked. "Yes?" He squeaked out.
"We want to talk to you about something."
Logan noticed the way they were all very serious looking. Him, practically being a genius already knew what they wanted to talk about. "I told you, we're not talking about this."
"How do you know what we were going to say?" James countered.
"Because I know what you were going to say, and we are not talking about it."
"Why not?"
"Because there's nothing to talk about. Whatever chemistry you think is going on with me and Knight is nothing." Logan said, walking to his room and closing the door.
"Knight?"
"Yeah, Carlos?" Knight looked down at Carlos. Right then Knight was looking over Carlos' shoulder at his computers going over the plans for the job.
"Can we talk about something?"
"Sure, what about?"
"…Logan."
Knight shifted on his feet awkwardly, Carlos noticed. "What about him?"
"…"
"Carlos, what about Logan?"
"I know you li-" Carlos was cut off when the front door opened.
"I told you guys, we are not talking about this, because there is nothing to talk about." Logan said as calmly as he could to the other three that walked in right behind him.
James and the others saw Carlos and Knight. "We're going to talk about is sooner or later."
"No we aren't." With that Logan ended that conversation and looked at Carlos and Knight. "Hey Knight, Carlos."
"Hi."
"Hey." Knight stood up straight. "Ok, now that you're all here, let's start this job."
"Does everyone understand what they're doing?" Knight looked at everyone on the couch, looking for any sign of confusion. He didn't.
"That's definitely an… odd plan." Logan wasn't sure what else to say after hearing Knight's elaborate and very complex plan.
"Knight's plans are always odd, but always pan out." Carlos got up from the recliner he was sitting at and walked to his computer workstation. "Now that's done, everyone's going to need these for the job." Carlos handed everyone a small ear buds. "These are our ear buds to communicate to each other anytime during the operation if you can't get to a phone, or have to keep what you say discrete from others. They're on a secure frequency and no one should be able to tell that you're wearing one."
Carlos looked at Knight to continue the explanation. "To successfully start this job, it'll all hang on you Camille."
She gave Kendall a cocky grin. "It's going to be easy to put on that charade."
"Yeah, you and your unbelievable acting skills." Logan encouraged his words with a smile.
"Why thank you. I aim to please. And not to be conceded, well, maybe a little, but I am an amazing at acting. I've always wanted to be an actor."
"Well," Knight said "now you can be, just, you know, won't be famous."
Camille shrugged of his comment. "Don't care. Me being amazing is enough for me."
The group laughed, and as they started to go their own separate ways for the day Knight called out to Logan with an idea. "Hey, Logan."
Logan turned back to Knight and smiled a confused smile. "Yes?"
Knight gestured Logan to follow him. "Let's go for a walk."
"I thought you didn't want me out of the loft until the job started?"
"Not outside, around the building."
"Oh, ok."
The two walked out of the loft, both ignoring their friends' looks.
"So where we going?" Logan questioned. He felt the effects of his medication kicking in. Suddenly feeling flirty and brave enough to act upon it.
"You'll see."
"Are you going to lock me in another closet?"
"No!" Knight replied, turning red.
Logan couldn't help but laugh at Knight as they walked out of the elevator, into the garage. "Show me your cars, tomato head."
Knight cleared his throat as he willed away the blush. "Ok, follow me." He led Logan around the garage.
He pointed at this one car he was holding onto for another job that as lasting a lot longer than he thought it would. "Here we have is a Mercedes I'm hanging onto for a client."
Logan eyed the car before shrugging. "Eh, seen better."
Knight raised an eyebrow at Logan, amused. "You have, have you?"
"Yeah."
Knight chuckled and led him to a black van. "Here's Carlos' nerd van when he's on the field."
"Very black.
"Yup," He motioned to the car next to the van. "this is Carlos' normal car he uses… never. Next to it you can see my bike and truck." He led Logan to the last vehicle they had. "And here is a J-"
"Jeep Wrangler!" Logan bounced on his feet, staring at the car. "You have a Jeep Wrangler!"
"You seem extra happy about that."
"I've always wanted a Jeep Wrangler! That's one of the reasons why I have two jobs. I've been saving up the past two months."
"So that's why you have six-thousand dollars in your bank account?" Knight was very amused by the way Logan was acting over a car.
"How…" Logan trailed off; remembering that Knight's first intention after meeting him was to frame him. Logan knew Knight most likely did a back ground check on him right after their first encounter. "Douche." Logan playfully pushed Knight.
Knight responded back with a laugh and a push towards the Mercedes. "Well I did have to know about your life before the job." He pushed Logan again closer to the Mercedes with a smirk.
"Stalker." Logan stated, walking backwards as Knight pushed him into the back of the Mercedes.
"I know."
Knight stopped when his chest was nearly flush against Logan's. The tension in the air immediately changed again. From a fun enjoyment to sexual tension that can be cut by a knife.
Knight took another step forward which caused Logan to take one back. He leant down, yet again for another kiss, but as they took one more step Logan bumped into the Mercedes causing its alarm to sound off.
The two jolted apart by the sudden burst of noise. Logan blushed from embarrassment and Knight looked at the security camera. He knew Carlos and the others were most likely watching them. Before he could tell Carlos to use the spare keys there client gave them to shut off the alarm he heard the hood of the car pop open. He turned back and saw Logan bending over, his hands rummaging through the engine before pulling something out, making the alarm die off in a whine.
Logan sighed, leaning his forehead on his arm, still bent over the engine. Giving Knight a perfect view of his ass. Logan stood up and Knight couldn't help the frown that spread on his face.
Logan turned and smiled at Knight, and Knight gave it right back. "You, Logie, are more than meets the eye."
Logan cocked an eyebrow at him. "Don't go all transformers on me."
Knight laughed. "Are you gonna tell me where you learned how to do that?"
Logan shook his head, but stopped midway. "Someday."
