A/N: Another update for this story. I hope you all enjoy it. I've been trying to get this whole updating thing under control but college has taken over my entire life. But nevertheless, this chapter is here, so enjoy! :D
When Kendall arrived at the pizza place, he was surprised to see as many cars as he did. "There must be some birthday or something." Kendall thought to himself before he entered the store. He walked up to the counter and was told that his pizza was almost ready. As he sat in the chair, waiting, he got a text message to his phone.
"Hey, cutie." Kendall smiled down at the text from his boyfriend.
"Hey, babe."
"So, why are you sitting there? Come over and say hi to my parents." Kendall immediately sat up from his slouched position and looked around the pizza place before he saw his boyfriend and his parents sitting in a booth. Jett slid over and patted the seat next to him, smiling.
"Hey, babe." Kendall said, kissing his boyfriend on the cheek. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Stetson."
"Hello Kendall." Mrs. Stetson said with a smile. Mr. Stetson looked like he didn't want to say anything but he forced out a hello, which Kendall didn't see as bad as Jett saw it as.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were at work?"
"I technically still am, I just have to make a lunch run."
"Ah, the untrained intern sent on an assistant's job of getting the lunch." Mr. Stetson said and everyone at the table looked at the man in slight annoyance while Kendall just smiled at the man.
"Actually, Mr. Stetson, I volunteered to go on this lunch run to show my loyalty towards the people that I work with and to show that I can be a trustworthy employee. Speaking of which, I think they just said my number." Kendall said before he stood up.
"It was nice seeing you all."
"Wait." Jett said, pulling Kendall back down to sit next to him before he turned the blonde's head, kissing him.
Kendall was about to pull away but Jett wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's neck and deepened the kiss. Kendall knew why Jett randomly decided to kiss him and he couldn't help but smirk. When they broke apart, Kendall leaned over and pretended to whisper something in Jett's ear to which his boyfriend started smiling. Kendall slid out of the booth and glanced at Mr. Stetson to see an uneasy look on his face. Once Kendall got his pizza, he left the store and headed back to the silence facility. He tried to park the car as exact as he could before he looked in the mirror to make sure that his kiss with Jett didn't show. Kendall grabbed the pizza and headed inside, putting in the passcode to the elevator and taking it to the only floor available.
"Pizza, good choice." Dr. Wainwright said when Kendall walked in. Kendall was about to walk to the door but Dr. Wainwright stopped him by holding up her hand. She grabbed a roll of paper towels and walked over to Kendall, handing him the roll. When Carlos saw Kendall he smiled and waved at the boy. Kendall couldn't help but smile back before he balanced the pizza in one hand and opening the door with the other.
"That's smells good." Carlos said as Kendall sat the box down on the bed.
"It tastes good too."
"Thank you." Carlos said, wrapping his arms around Kendall's mid-section. The hug caught Kendall off guard but he returned the hug before Carlos took a step back.
"I'm sorry. I know I'm supposed to ask for your permission first."
"Don't sweat it, dude. It's cool."
"Huh?" Carlos asked in confusion.
"Uhh, I mean, don't worry about it."
"Oh, did you come up with that yourself?"
"No." Kendall said, laughing a little. "It's a popular saying."
"Do you know where it came from?"
"Well, when someone worries about something, they can start to sweat."
"Oh, that makes sense."
"Yeah." Kendall said opening the pizza box. "This is pizza. The toppings are pepperoni and sausage."
"I've seen this before but I've never tasted it."
"It's really good. Try some." Kendall said, getting a paper towel and handing it to Carlos. Carlos used the paper towel and picked up the pizza slice just like Kendall did.
"Be careful it's hot." Kendall told him. Carlos bit into the pizza and was surprised by how good it tasted.
"Oh my goodness." Carlos said, holding his hand over his mouth. Kendall thought he saw something in Carlos' mouth that was shiny but he shook it off when he realized he was looking in Carlos mouth.
"It's good right?" Kendall asked and Carlos nodded, taking another bite. Kendall was happy that he made the right choice. After they finished most of the pizza, Carlos laid out on his bed.
"Thank you, Kendall."
"You're welcome." Kendall said, sliding the pizza box over so he wouldn't accidentally hit knock it off the bed. They sat there in silence and Kendall just looked at Carlos laying there. The boy didn't have anything wrong with him. Kendall was having a hard time believing that the boy was an alien.
At first he thought that maybe Carlos had an immune problem but that obviously wouldn't be the case. Kendall also wanted to know what changed about Carlos that has General Griffin worried. He looks like a regular boy and Dr. Wainwright seems to think the same thing but she also knows that something is changing. Kendall pulled out his phone when it vibrated and he was surprised that he actually had service down here. He saw that it was a text from James.
"Hey, when do you get off so I can come pick you up?"
"I don't know but I will let you know when I find out." Kendall texted back.
"What are you doing?" Carlos asked.
"Texting." Kendall said, looking up from his phone to see Carlos sitting there with his legs folded over each other. Kendall could see the interest written over Carlos' face so he moved next to the boy, letting him hold his phone.
"Kelly doesn't let me see her phone when she's texting."
"Well, I don't have anything to hide." Kendall said before a text came in and Carlos jumped at the vibration.
"It's just the vibration to let me know I have a text message." Kendall said, holding Carlos' wrist so the boy wouldn't throw his phone.
"Oh." Carlos said as Kendall took the phone from him.
"Keep me updated." James texted back.
"Will do." Kendall sent with an emoji.
"What's that?" Carlos asked.
"Oh, that's an emoji. They're little pictures that helps you show emotion or simplify things that you're trying to say."
"What does that mean?"
"It's a symbol meaning okay. See." Kendall said, making the hand gesture.
"Oh." Carlos said, imitating the hand gesture.
"Are there any more?"
"Of course." Kendall said, going to the emoji section in his phone before handing it to Carlos.
"Cool." Carlos said, looking at all of the little pictures.
"Use your thumb to scroll down and you can click different sections." Kendall told him and Carlos looked at him in confusion.
"Push up on the screen using your thumb." When Carlos did as Kendall said, he let out a small gasp that made Kendall smile. As Carlos went through the emojis, Kendall explained what each of them meant. Carlos was happy that he knew what some of them were. After Kendall showed Carlos all of the emojis, they decided to play more video games. When it was time for Kendall to leave, he texted James to come get him before he said goodbye to Carlos. As Kendall waited for James, he decided to talk to Dr. Wainwright about Carlos.
"Dr. Wainwright. How did you guys even find Carlos?"
"Well, we were looking for government authorized things when one of the men on the crew pointed out that something was headed towards Earth. General Griffin grabbed me and asked me to go with him. We were close friends until General Griffin refused to acknowledge that Carlos was fairly normal. He kept talking about how normal people don't fall from the sky and he's been looking for something different about Carlos since he got here."
"So what was he talking about when he said that Carlos could kill me?"
"Don't listen to him about that. Carlos wouldn't hurt a fly."
"But what makes him think that?"
"He's just trying to scare you because he doesn't think you should be here. He has trust issues."
"So, how did you become in charge when it came to Carlos?"
"I was the first one to reach Carlos and his pod scanned me so it only opened when I was in front of it. I was the only one able to take Carlos out which made General Griffin put me in charge of everything dealing with Carlos."
"But…you said he took an unauthorized dosage. What does that mean?"
"Kendall, you know, you ask too many questions."
"I'm just curious, that's all." Kendall said before Dr. Wainwright moved away from the window where Carlos could see her. She moved to one of the computers and started typing.
"We've been studying every part of Carlos ever since his birth." Kendall smiled when baby Carlos showed up on the screen looking around. Kendall could see that they can see Carlos' heart rate from where he was and as Dr. Wainwright moved through the footage. Kendall watched as Carlos grew up and how his room has changed over the years. Kendall loved that he could see Kelly go through her awkward teen years before becoming more of the woman she is today.
"Now, here's a few days ago when General Griffin took the unauthorized dosage." Kendall watched as the man entered with two other guys. Carlos looked scared as he put his controller down.
"Not only did they take an unauthorized dosage; they took way over the limit." Dr. Wainwright told Kendall as she spun around in her chair to face him.
"He's an asshole." Kendall said under his breath as he watched them take Carlos' blood on the monitor.
"Yeah." Dr. Wainwright said before Kendall's phone began ringing.
"Alright, Dr. Wainwright. My ride is here."
"Okay Kendall, see you tomorrow at around twelve."
"Twelve, got it." Kendall said before he left the room and headed for the elevator.
"That's right, Knight!" Coach Rocque yelled and Kendall couldn't help but smile around his mouth piece. Kendall just threw the perfect pass to one of his teammates. Although this was only practice, Coach Rocque was still excited for some reason.
"I can only imagine how he's going to be during the game." One of Kendall's teammates said.
"Like how he always is. Stressed out, screaming, looking like his head is about to explode with every tackle."
"You remember when he almost threw his clipboard at one of the referees." Kendall couldn't help but laugh alongside his teammates as he thought back to that game. It had been almost a week since Kendall met Carlos. Dr. Wainwright told Kendall that during the week he didn't have to come in unless he wanted to but on the weekends, if he didn't have practice, he was expected around twelve.
"Guys look alive, cheerleaders coming to practice too." One of Kendall's teammates said as he ran up to them. Kendall turned to see his boyfriend walking over to them with his cheer squad behind him.
"You know; I will never understand how they expect us to practice when they're practicing nearby."
"It's called self-control." James said coming up to the guys, nudging the one who last spoke in the head.
"You wouldn't be saying that if your boyfriend was here." The teammate responded to James and he was about to say something back but the cheerleaders had reached to where they were standing. Kendall took out his mouth piece and took off his helmet before wrapping his arms around Jett and kissing him.
"Mmm." Jett moaned after their kiss ended. The rest of the cheer team were being hit on by the football team while James just shook his head at all of them.
"I don't know how I'm going to concentrate on these plays when you're wearing these short shorts." Kendall whispered to his boyfriend.
"Well, just imagine taking them off of me."
"I doubt that's going to help."
"It will when I tell you that's what your reward will be." Jett said and Kendall smirked before he hugged his boyfriend, biting his ear.
"I can't wait." Kendall said before James was standing directly next to them.
"Can we get back to practice?" James asked with a blank look on his face. Kendall sighed before giving Jett one last kiss.
"You're so whipped." James said once Jett was gone.
"I am not whipped. You'd be the same way if Logan was on the cheerleading team."
"He would never go for something like that."
"How do you know?"
"Because I know my boyfriend and he's more of a-"
"A nerd."
"No, he's a mental person."
"Oh, so…nerd."
"Kendall he-"
"Don't worry James, being a nerd is cool but you never get a view like that." Kendall said, looking as his boyfriend started stretching, leaning down to the ground.
"Actually, when Logan's in the lab, he does a lot of bending over the table."
"Okay, we're done here." Kendall said, putting on his helmet and walking away from James who started laughing. Once practice was over, all of the guys headed into the showers and started getting ready to head home.
"You know Knight; I don't get it."
"What?" Kendall said, looking up from the bench he was straddling as he unlaced his shoes.
"You seem to be the main one focused while your boyfriend was practically naked out there."
"It's called self-control." James said, walking pass and poking the guy in the head, prompting him to slap James' hand away from his head.
"Well, I mean. I was just focused on the game. I knew he was trying to distract me."
"Really?" Another teammate said sarcastically from behind Kendall. "I mean after you threw like, what, the sixth perfect pass, he took off his shirt."
Kendall couldn't help but laugh along with the guys in the locker room. Kendall remembers when he first told them that he was gay. It was right after they made him and James co-captains. Most of the team stated that they already knew and didn't care because he was amazing on the field while other made a joke about him being gay is the reason why he's so good with handling balls. Overall the response was generally positive. If there was anyone on the team who had a problem with it, they either didn't say anything or stopped being on the team.
"Uh oh, speak of the devil." One of the teammates said from a different section of the locker room. Kendall couldn't help but smile as he took off his practice shoulder pads along with his shirt. Jett came in with a tank top and shorts on with his cheering bag on his shoulder.
"Hey, babe." Kendall said, kicking off his cleats.
"Hey." Jett said, straddling the bench in front of Kendall. "We're you all talking about me?" Kendall couldn't help but laugh slightly as the guys slowly moved around the lockers to another row.
"Yeah but it was all good fun, trust me."
"What was said?"
"The guys wanted to know how I stayed so focused while you were practicing."
"And what did you tell them?" Jett asked in slight shock, making Kendall smile.
"Just that I was really focused and I knew you were trying to distract me."
"I wasn't."
"Really, babe. I mean, you did take your shirt off very seductively."
"I was hot."
"Right." Kendall said, standing up.
"So what are you going to do after you change?" Jett asked, moving so he was sitting properly.
"Nothing, probably just go home and do some homework." Kendall said putting his jersey in his locker. "Why?"
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to do some homework over at my place." Jett asked, leaning up against the locker next to Kendall.
"Sure, just let me shower an-"
"We can shower at my place." Jett said with a smirk. Kendall had a smirk of his own before he quickly changed out of the rest of his clothes.
When he barely had his shoes on, Jett grabbed his hand and pulled him to the exit of the locker room. Kendall barely had the chance to close his locker on the way out and the rest of the team knew what was going on since Kendall usually takes a shower before he left. One of his teammates started thrusting in the air while another one whistled at the couple. Jett just rolled his eyes while Kendall playfully stuck his tongue out at them before being pulled out of the room.
A/N: I wonder what you guys think about Jett and his relationship with Kendall. I think it's cute, typical high school love. Well, until next time. Thanks for reading and a review would be much appreciated. :D
