Author Note: sorry for the long wait. Lots of doctors appointments plus it's not easy to write when your brain is broken. Anyway, thank you for the amazing reviews. You guys totally rock! I think I've made my decision for the final pairings, but you'll have to wait and see ;). I know exactly how the ending pairings will come about :)

Also I have a habit of favoring certain characters in some fics over others and writing them more than others so if you guys think any character isn't getting enough scenes or you want to see more of any character (or characters together) let me know and I'll see what I can do! Enjoy!

Chapter 25: Boyfriend

Carlos couldn't sleep, as he lied awake listening to the quiet drumming of James' heartbeat. The Latino smiled as he gently rose up and down with the steady rise and fall of his slumbering roommate's bare chest against his ear. He was content for the time being, just lying in the brunette's arms, until the familiar rumble reminded him of the reason he had awoken from his peaceful slumber in the first place.

Carefully as possible to not wake him, he detangled himself from James' arms, kissing the brunette's cheek only to fail in his mission as the taller boy reached out for him as Carlos slid off the bed.

"Where are you going, baby?" James mumbled tiredly.

Carlos grinned widely at the pet name he was certain he heard this time, "I'm just going to go get a midnight snack."

"Midnight? It's three in the morning," James groaned glancing up at the alarm clock on the side table. "Can't you wait till breakfast?"

Carlos looked down at his stomach then up at James who was pouting at him through his mess of bed head. Carlos was about to give in when a loud rumble sounded again making James chuckle, "Go on. I'll just wait here. All alone," he joked.

Carlos rolled his eyes, "Want anything?"

"Just you."

"I'll be back soon. Go back to sleep," he leaned over to kiss James' cheek only to be pulled into full lip lock.

"Hurry back."

Carlos licked his lip hesitating for a moment before his stomach rumbled again. Without another word, he hurried for the door, knowing that if he waited any longer, James would win and he would never make it out of the room. Closing the door behind him he was startled to find, he was not alone.

"Kendall?" he called out to the blond who sat alone on the couch watching the TV in silence.

Kendall jumped, not realizing he was no longer alone as he turned to find the Latino starring at him, "Hey Buddy. Couldn't sleep either?"

Carlos shuffled his way through the kitchen, pulling out his favorite cereal and pouring it into a bowl holding it out to offer it to his friend who nodded as he padded his way over to the counter, "Hungry," he stated grabbing a second bowl and pouring in some Cocoa Puffs while Kendall grabbed the milk from the refrigerator, pouring into the bowls while Carlos retrieved two spoons.

The two boys settled down on the orange couch, side by side and ate in silence staring at the television. After listening to Carlos slurp up his chocolate milk, Kendall couldn't take it anymore. It had been three days since Logan had told him about James and Carlos yet neither had said anything to Kendall personally and he was tired of all of the fighting. He had to fix this. He was loosing sleep over this.

"So, you and James are- boyfriends?" he wasn't quite sure how to word it and cringed even more when Carlos' eyes widened with what he assumed was either fear or anger, he couldn't tell. "Please don't freak out. James told Logan and Logan told me. I know you're still mad at both of us, but I just want you to know that we're both completely cool with it," he lied. He knew for a fact Logan was definitely not cool with it. He had made that clear when he had told him about the secret and as for Kendall, he wasn't sure how he felt about it.

"He said that?"

"Of course. Logan's completely cool with both of you being gay. Together. We both are. Cool with it that is," he stumbled.

"No, no! Not Logan," Carlos clarified his previous inquiry, "James. James said I was his boyfriend?"

Kendall looked at him puzzled. It felt as if a huge boulder had been lifted off his chest and he could breath once more, "So you two are not dating?" he asked to clarify, trying to hide the smile that was forcing it's way to his lips.

Carlos looked around, a smile tugging at his lips as he thought about it for a moment, "Well, I mean we kiss and we like to cuddle and sleep together- in the same bed, not like that we just like to cuddle, we've only- made out- a lot," he stuttered trying to explain to Kendall exactly what he and James were without going into to much detail until it finally hit him, "Oh my god! I'm James' boyfriend!" he answered excitedly. "Kendall, I'm James' boyfriend. I've never had a boyfriend before. I've never even had a girlfriend. What if I do something wrong? What if I mess up? What if he doesn't like me?"

Kendall's heart broke just seeing the excitement in his friend's eyes turn to fear, "Carlos, relax, James' likes you."

"How do you know?"

"Because he wouldn't have told Logan you were his boyfriend if he didn't like you."

"You're right," Carlos stated settling down, "You are right. Right?"

"Yes," Kendall chuckled, "Maybe you shouldn't have eaten chocolate at three-thirty in the morning. Why don't you try and get some sleep."

"Sleep? Yes! Sleep! James! My boyfriend is waiting for me," he grinned rushing for the bedroom only to stop half way there, turn around and throw himself into Kendall's arms, "You're my best buddy, you know that, right?" he accented his question with a kiss to the blonde's cheek.

"You're mine too," The blond nodded squeezing the Latino back before ushering towards his room, "Good night, Los."

"Good night, Kendall."

Kendall couldn't help, but chuckle as he watched his best friend scurry off to his room, slamming the door shut behind him. Deciding to turn in himself, Kendall shut off the television and grabbed the cereal bowls knowing his mother would have a fit if she found dirty dishes lying around when she woke up in the morning. Though on the way to the sink, he was startled when another door opened, causing him to drop the bowls, spilling the left over milk all over the kitchen floor.

"Logan?"

"How am I supposed to sleep with all that giggling in there? Do they have any idea what time it is?"

Kendall looked towards the room where the supposed commotion was coming from. Listening closer he could hear faint giggles coming from their best friends' room. "Carlos just found out he has a boyfriend."

Logan stopped mid-rant to stare at Kendall who had grabbed a rag and was bending down trying to clean up the spilt milk," Just found out? They've been dating for almost a week."

"They've been making out, cuddling and sleeping together for a week- not like that. Sleeping together in the same bed," he quickly amended when he saw the look Logan gave him, "They like to cuddle, but they never made it official according to Carlos. He didn't know they were dating until I asked him about it."

"So, you've talked to Carlos?"

"I told him we were both cool with it. You and me," he explained as he threw the rag and the bowls into the sink before leaning against the counter.

Logan was quiet as he stared towards the closed bedroom door for a moment before turning back, "It's quiet in there."

"It's three-thirty in the morning, they could be sleeping," Logan shot him a death glare, "Or James could have his tongue down his throat. Why are you making such a big deal out of this?"

"Why are you not?"

"They are our best friends."

"Exactly!"

"We should be happy for them."

"Then why are we not happy?"

"I don't know," Kendall finally gave in.

"See, I knew it! You don't want them together either."

Kendall growled, "That's not what I meant. What I mean is- I don't know what I mean. All I want is for us to be friends again. I don't care who's dating who, who's making out with who. I just want my-"

Before he could finish Logan had him pinned against the counter, his lips pressed firmly against his. Kendall didn't even bother to fight him. Instead he placed one hand on the back of his head and another on the small of his back and pull him in closer.
