Hi guys and welcome back to Water Under the Bridge! I just wanna say a huge thank you for the support on the last chapter, and I'm glad you guys liked it! Also a quick life update from me, but I bought the entire Supernatural box set, and am in the course of watching it. So far, it's brilliant, and I'm loving it and I've only finished season 1. Anyway, let's crack on with this!


James POV:
Tudor England with Mrs Elliott was something I was semi-interested by. The bits I read over weeks ago were dull, but now that we were talking about the actual rebellions, it was interesting. Well, that was until we got deep into discussion. On our table was obviously me, Logan, Kendall and Carlos, and it seemed like a bomb waiting to go off. Eventually it did, with Carlos' snide comment re-emerging.

"Oh look, the act of the relief of the poor. It says here that the poverty was an issue, and that's Elizabeth thought she could fix it. What does that remind you of? The higher classes feeling guilt for the poor" Carlos said, directing his statement straight at Kendall. Kendall was not afraid to respond however, catching in to what Carlos was saying.

"At least Elizabeth was trying to fix it. Now, it was on the poor to respond! She was making a conscious effort" Kendall replied, keeping rather level headed whilst he did so.

"Don't you think it's a bit late though? I mean, she's put them through so much other shit, like beatings and whatnot that one act isn't enough to fix it!" Carlos snapped back, while Logan and I just stared at the pair of them.

"Guys, is this really about the act?" Logan asked, who was completely ignored.

"You're right Carlos, one act isn't enough to fix it, but she has to start somewhere otherwise people will continue to get hurt. So, could you at least give her a chance to try and amend things" Kendall replied, looking up at Carlos. Carlos' facial expression was completely unreadable for a few seconds, until a small smile grew on his face.

"Considering you referred to yourself as a girl, I'm sure I could try" he said, chuckling to himself, as Kendall's face lit up with embarrassment.

"Wait, what? No, I was talking about Elizabeth" Kendall tried to justify, but a small smile grew on his face. "But thank you. And I am sorry for all the stuff I put you and Logan through" he continued, causing Carlos to pat him on the back. When Carlos touched Kendall, the laughter between the pair of them seemed to die down, and they both turned to look into each other's eyes, smiling sweetly at each other. I saw Logan look over at me, with the same thought process going through his mind, before chuckling to each other.

I cleared my throat rather loudly, which seemed to snap the pair of them out of their little trance, and Carlos quickly flushed red, while removing his hand from Kendall's back, who looked disappointed by its removal. Not so surprisingly after that there was a moment of awkwardness between the two, but once that passed, they seemed to get on like a house on fire, the pair of them sharing a few snide comments here and there, but never enough to fully insult the other. The lesson continued as such, with those two hardly really noticing Logan and I anymore.

They seemed to be wrapped in their own little world, talking to each other about the work, as well as sometimes coming across interest they shared. Besides from hockey of course. When the bell went, signalling the end of the first lesson, everyone packed their bags and started to move about. Kendall and I shared Physics together, whilst Logan and Carlos had Chemistry. Before heading out separate ways, Kendall and Carlos seemed to almost cling to one another, and it was Kendall who first spoke up about their separation.

"So, I'll see you at lunch?" Kendall asked, with the tone of fear rather present in his voice, which was strange considering less than 2 hours ago, they were at each other's throats.

"Y-Yeah, see you then" Carlos replied almost nervously, until he saw the smile on Kendall's face, which was rather large.

"God guys, it's only an hour" I joked, interrupting the little moment the pair of them shared, and my statement resulted in a blush from both of them. "See you at lunch Logan" I called out, as I essentially dragged Kendall away from Carlos, knowing if I hadn't, we'd be late to our lesson.

"Yeah, catch you later James" I heard from Logan, as he in turn dragged Carlos away from the pair of them. The walk into Physics could be considered rather cliché, with Kendall's head in some completely different world. We sat down at our normal desks, and as soon as Kendall placed his bag down on the floor, he let out a rather…pleasant sigh. You know, the ones in the movies where the girl is fantasising about the guys. Yeah, one of those.

"You alright there, buddy? You seem to have your head in the clouds." I joked, hoping to gain some sort of conversation out of Kendall.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just…happy" he replied, as he started to pull his equipment and whatnot out of his bag. Now this was definitely something new. Well, technically old, but still the point stands. I haven't been Kendall like this for a long time, and I've known him for a good few years now. The last time he was like this was when he had a crush on Jo, and they found out they got along. Wait a second

"You have a crush on Carlos, don't you?!" I exclaimed, but it was more of an accusation that a question, as I knew the answer alright.

"What, no, of course I don't!" he replied, trying to hold on to some kind of dignity. "

Then why are you doodling hearts in your notepad?" I retorted, causing him to look down at them. Small little hearts were starting to occupy the margin, some coloured in, and some left blank.

"Shit" he mumbled, scrambling to cover then, only to late.

"Kendall, it's alright, you can tell me" I said, placing my arm around his neck, and rubbing his back slightly.

"Stop that" was Kendall's only response, struggling my arm off of his shoulder, blush creeping onto his face.

"Ok fine. But I just so happen to know that Carlos feels the same way" I replied, 50% sure that my statement was accurate.

"He does really?" Kendall said, obviously without thinking about it. Then his brain clicked back into gear. "Fuck" he continued, causing me to chuckle slightly, but also feel a sense of pride for him.

"So, you have a crush on him?" I asked one again, and Kendall, admitting defeat, nodded.

"Yeah, I have a crush on him" he replied, and I let it settle for a moment. Knowing that pushing this wasn't going to end well, I decided to let him come to terms with the fact. The lesson officially started with Mrs Wade deciding to teach us the different types of waves in the magnetic spectrum. After a rather admittedly catching song, she left us to complete our work, studying the different properties of the wave, and that's where Kendall spoke up again. "So enough about my love life. What's up between you and Logan?" he said, and now it was my turn to fluster and blush.

"What, nothing. There's nothing going on" I replied, not hiding anything very well. Mostly because the thought of us going on a date soared its way right to the front of my mind. "We're going on a date tomorrow." I continued, without giving Kendall the opportunity to respond to my first comment. Unlike him, I wasn't willing to do the whole back and forth thing. I looked up to him, seeing a huge smile present on his face, and now it was his turn to wrap his arm around my shoulder.

"I'm really happy for you James, I can see that you really like him" Kendall replied, showing that although he might not be the best friend at times, he still knows me really well. "Do you have any ideas what you're going to do?" he asked, and I nodded my head.

"Yeah, I got the whole things planned out. First…"


Meanwhile-Logan's POV:
The walk to Chemistry was a rather interesting one. After James essentially dragged Kendall away, I decided to follow his example and dragged Carlos with me. The whole way to Chemistry, Carlos seemed to be out of it, with him humming as we walked. Talking our seats in the lesson, I continued to watch Carlos, and when he started to doodle in his notepad, I knew something was up. Especially when said doodles were little love hearts. Knowing it could only be one person, I decided to be tactful in my approach.

"Are you ok, Carlos? You seem to be a little down" I decided to ask, putting my plan into place.

"Really? Cause I'm as happy as ever!" He exclaimed back, mindlessly continuing with his doodles.

"Oh ok. Cause, ever since we left lunch, you seem to be out of it" I replied, noticing a small blush appear on his face.

"Lunch was great wasn't it" he replied, his doodles shifting from love hearts into words. And one word in particular 'Kendall.'

"Yeah, you and Kendall seemed to get on really well" I continued to pry, noticing the blush on his face grow.

"Yeah, we have so much in common! Did you know he has a little sister?" Carlos replied, doodling Kendall's name.

"No, but I did notice the way he looked at you. I think he has a crush on you" I replied, knowing I had him exactly where I wanted him. The blush on his face grew tenfold, and he started to choke on nothing.

"Really, you think he does?" Carlos replied with so much hope in his eyes, and I felt slightly bad about this, but at the same time, I had my answer.

"Yeah, almost as big as the crush you have on him" I replied, and that's when Carlos knew the jig was up. His facial expression dropped into a pout, as he turned and looked away from me. "Honestly Carlos, I saw the way he looks at you. He obviously feels the same way" I tried to reassure him, noticing the small smile return on his face. Before I could say anything else, Mr Old began the Chemistry lesson, teaching us about covalent and ionic bonding, and within 15 minutes, he set us the task of completing some questions.

"What about you and James? It's obvious you two have got close." Carlos decided this was the perfect time to ask about this. To be honest, it was only fair, as I did pry into his personal life.

"He…he asked me on a date tomorrow" I manage to squeak out, as my face was overtaken with blush. I think I heard Carlos squeal beside me, before asking his next question.

"Do you know what he had planned?"

"I have no idea"


So there we go! Kendall and Carlos admitted their crushes on each other. Not to each other's faces, but I can't give you everything you want all at once. So, this was more Kenlos than anything else, but it was still sweet. And the Jagan date is the next chapter, so not long to wait now!

A big thank you to RainbowDiamonds, Spookje10 and EpicallyObsessed for reviewing the last chapter, and I'm glad you all wanted to see Kenlos! And I'm sorry you didn't get the date today. Ok, maybe I'm not... but I like to be evil.

I will see you on Thursday for the next chapter of Rekindled, but until then

TTFN :D
