So, I know it's been a while (like two weeks right?), but hey, classes do that to you. I'll try to be better about it, but no promises! At least I'm still updating :D

Well, it has come down to this…

This is the LAST CHAPTER of Big Time Cousins.

Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed along the entire time.

Updated/Ended: 09/30/2013

…

Ethan yawned as Benny opened the door to his hotel room. He quirked an eyebrow when he saw Logan and Kendall standing behind him. Ethan looked at them and back at Benny.

"Logan didn't want me wandering out alone this late, and Kendall didn't want Logan alone, so…" Ethan said, ending it with a shrug, which Benny returned.

"Whatever," he said, stepping aside and letting them enter. Benny picked up the note from Sarah, which had fallen to the floor, and showed it to Ethan, who began to read.

'Benny,

I'm glad that Ethan chose you. I know he and I could never really be happy together, with me being immortal and all. I know you two will be happy together (if not, I'll come back and kick both your asses). I've decided that my time in LA, as well as Whitechapel, has come to an end. I am going to travel the world, live my life, maybe even find love. Maybe someday I'll return, but not for a long time. Please give Ethan, Erica, Rory, Jane, and Grandma my love. Also, since I'm leaving, that means there's an extra plane ticket to go home. Maybe Ethan would like to use it? That way you two don't have to be apart longer than necessary. I've already paid the hotel for the duration of your stay. You can just give them the keycard and go.

Take care of Ethan for me,

Sarah'

Ethan looked up at Benny, unsure how he felt.

"I can't believe she's gone…" he said softly, re-reading the note over again.

"You okay?" Benny asked, making Ethan shake his head and look at Logan and Kendall.

"Can you two wait in the hallway? I wanna talk to Benny alone." The two of them nodded and were out of the room in a heartbeat. Ethan now turned those wide brown orbs on Benny, who was looking at him, waiting patiently. Ethan opened his mouth, but no words would come; closing it, he sat down on one of the beds in the room.

"Ethan…" Benny said, turning to the desk and picking up something before coming to sit next to him. "Will you come home with me?" Benny asked, handing Ethan what he had grabbed; the tickets to go home.

To go home tomorrow.

Ethan looked at them and then looked at Benny.

"I…I don't know. I feel like I've barely spent any time with Logan…" Benny hung his head and sighed.

"I understand. My plane doesn't leave till noon. Think about it?" Ethan nodded and Benny wrapped his arms around him and kissed his temple. "Go on back to the Palm Woods. You need to sleep. Goodnight."

"Night."

…

Once the trio returned back to the Palm Woods, Logan told Kendall to go back to their room while he talked to his cousin. Kendall nodded and bid them both goodnight before disappearing down the hallway. Logan sat next to Ethan, who was silent.

"I think you should go back with him," Logan murmured, causing Ethan's head to snap in his direction.

"What?!" Logan looked at him with a calm smile.

"Ethan," Logan began, but Ethan interrupted him.

"We've barely spent any time together. It's been too complicated with boyfriends and crap!" he exclaimed, making Logan laugh.

"I know," he said, his shoulders still shaking in laughter, "But I was thinking, the next time the band gets some time off, I could come see you in Whitechapel. I'd like to see Uncle Ross and Aunt Samantha again sometime." Ethan mulled over this for a moment. "And by I, I mean Kendall and myself, as well as probably James and Carlos." Ethan now laughed and nodded.

"I guess that would work…"

"So if you want to… you should go home." Ethan looked at Logan and nodded. "Uhh…" Now Logan looked awkward, which made Ethan raise an eyebrow at him.

"What?"

"Kendall wanted to talk to you before you went to sleep. I'll wait here." Ethan had the suspicion that Logan knew more than he was letting on, but he didn't push it.

"Okay. I'll be back in a minute." As Ethan made his way to Logan and Kendall's bedroom, he had a feeling he knew what awaited him.

…

Kendall stood up from the bed when Ethan walked in.

"Hey," he said, giving him a tight smile. He had told Logan what he had wanted to do, and surprisingly, his boyfriend was okay with it; just because Logan knew though, didn't make Kendall any less nervous. Ethan stood against the door and gave him a small smile.

"Hey."

"So… You decided to go home?" Kendall asked, and Ethan nodded.

"I think so. I think my stay in LA has run its course." Kendall nodded now and moved a little closer to Ethan.

"I'm gonna miss you. You were fun to hang out with," Kendall said, making Ethan smile.

"So were you. And I'll miss you two." Kendall smiled at that and moved a little closer; Ethan couldn't move, he was still standing against the bedroom door.

"…I talked to Logan. I didn't tell him about that kiss we shared…"

"Okay…"

"But I did tell him I wanted to say goodbye to you," Kendall said, voice now dropping to a whisper. "If that's okay." Ethan could tell what Kendall wanted then; he could see it in his eyes.

"Yeah, that's fine." Kendall smiled gratefully and leaned closer to Ethan.

"You'll always have a special place in my heart Ethan," he murmured a breath away from Ethan.

"Same here." Kendall chuckled and placed a soft, short kiss to Ethan's lips.

"I'm gonna miss you."

"I'll miss you too."

…

~The next day~

Ethan met Benny at the door to 2J, a smile on his face.

"What?" Benny asked right away, his suitcase in hand; then, he noticed the bags sitting on the orange couch. "You're coming with me?" Ethan nodded and Benny dropped his bag and grabbed Ethan in a tight hug, making the slighter boy gasp for breath.

"…Tight…" he got out, making Benny let go.

"Sorry," he mumbled, grabbing his stuff. "Ready?"

"Let's just get our ride. Guys!" he called out, making the band enter the room, Logan leading the way.

"Ready?"

"Let's go."

…

As Benny and Ethan made their way to the boarding sight, Ethan turned to Logan and the rest of Big Time Rush.

"It was great seeing you again," he told Logan as they hugged goodbye. "And Jane is gonna love the autographed CD," he told the others, who all laughed.

"We can't wait to come to Whitechapel," Carlos said as he waved bye. "I wanna play hockey on all the ice! You two play hockey don't you? You are Canadian after all." James slapped him on the back of the head then. "Ow! What was that for?"

"Just because they're Canadian doesn't mean they play hockey!"

"How do you know? Have you ever been to Canada?" Carlos and James began to argue then, making the others shake their heads at them.

"We'll hang out as soon as I get enough free time to come visit," Logan said, waving goodbye. Ethan smiled and waved back.

"Can't wait."

And with that, Benny and Ethan turned and got in line to board their plane.

They were leaving LA behind and finally going home.

…

Ohmygosh it's over!

I hope you all liked it!
