So I thought I should say a little something before I continue my fic. This is my first Big Tme Rush story, and also my first story on . Comments are loved, and inspiration for future chapters would be a great bonus. Hope that there'll be more reviews after this chapter. So read and enjoy!
The boys first met in Second Grade. James, Kendall and Carlos had been friends since pre-k and were inseparable. They were the 'coolest' kids in class, the boys that everyone wanted to be friends with. Their hockey career had already started, which also resulted in everyone fearing them, sort of like staying a little further away from them. Once, someone had bullied Carlos, and before he could even apologize for his mistake, he found himself hanging from the statue in the school field the next day. Soon, kids learnt to never pick on anyone of them, because Carlos with his helmet, Kendall with his hockey stick, and James with his physique were just intimidating; they were a trio that wasn't meant to be messed with.
On this particular first day of Second Grade, everyone came back with new haircuts, new bags and toys, and surprise surprise, a new boy had just moved into Minnesota.
"Logan Mitchell." the teacher called, not looking up from the attendance sheet. No reply was heard. The teacher gave an exasperated sigh and raised her head to see a small sweet boy sitting right at the back of the class, head down, eyes flickering nervously from side to side. Kendall, being the most logical of the group at that time (as logical as a second grader would ever be), noticed the silence and followed the teacher's gaze to the back of the class and fixed his eyes on the small hunched figure at the back. An immediate wave of protectiveness came over him and he nudged the two boys next to him urgently. The trio turned to look at Logan, fiddling nervously with his fingers, and grinned widely to him. He summoned up a small smile and returned the favor. That undoubtedly marked the beginning of a new friendship.
One day, Logan was in the boys' room when he heard a familiar taunting seemingly echo all around him. A shiver ran up his spine, and he nervously washed his hands and tried to rush out as fast as he could from the room. However, he wasn't fast enough and soon found himself surrounded by some of the mean boys from his class.
"Hey smarty-pants, what was it you wanted to be? A four-eyed-freak?"
"Ooh. I heard he cried and wet his pants on his first day of school, right scaredy-cat?"
"Aww...how cute. You probably want your mommy now don't you?"
The tears that Logan tried so hard to fight down leaked from the corners of his eyes. His mom had died when he was six.
"Oh look! The baby's crying!"
Their laughter echoed cruelly around the empty room, a horrible reminder to the second grader of how alone he really was. Although he had made friends with the trio, he still hadn't actually talked to them, yet, except to introduce himself. He shut his eyes tight and wished that whatever hurt was about to come would be fast and quick. Three, two, one...
"Oof!"
Logan opened his eyes incredulously, only to find the biggest bully winded up on the floor, doubled over in pain. Then, he saw James, with his well-toned muscles, and perfect hair, eyes shooting fire and basically spitting poison at the injured jock.
"Don't you ever, ever touch our Logie again, you hear?"
His voice came out a little squeaky, they were just second graders after all, but it had its desired impact on the bullies; they gulped nervously and raced off and out of the boys' room, leaving a grateful Logan, and James behind. James immediately turned over to Logan, and examined his tear-stained face carefully before pulling him into a vice grip bear hug.
"Don't cry Logie bear, I'll always protect you no matter what."
Logan nodded, face entirely muffled in the cotton of James' shirt. The two stood in the empty room, interlocked in a hug, heart beating to the same erratic pace. Both didn't want this to end, although they couldn't exactly place a finger on why they would feel like that. After what seemed like only a few seconds which in reality had been at least five minutes, they broke apart, huge silly grins planted on their second grade faces. James placed an arm around Logan's smaller frame and led the boy out of the room, squeezing his shoulder ever so slightly in time with his heartbeats.
They soon met up with an anxious Kendall, and a spaced-out Carlos. "Logie bear!" Carlos practically screamed as he went to attack the smaller boy. Kendall quickly ran up to the smart boy now blue in the face, and tried his hardest to pry the hyper Latino away from the gasping Logan. After much pulling, the Latino finally unlatched himself from Logan, as he stumbled back and fell into the strong waiting arms of Kendall.
"Hey Logie, you ok? Jamie thought something was wrong when you were taking so long in the bathroom. Then I saw those boys running out of there, and then I see that you were crying...are you ok?" Kendall asked looking earnestly at his face.
Logan nodded shyly, gaze flickering briefly to James and Carlos who was wrestling on the floor. Logan felt himself smile broadly at the thought that they cared so much about him. He looked up at Kendall with tears in his eyes. This was the most loved he had felt in a long long time.
"DON'T CRY LOGIE I SWEAR I'LL PROTECT YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND IGNORE THOSE STUPID BULLIES BECAUSE THEY ARE IDI- oof!" Logan threw himself at Carlos, wrapping his small arms as much around the waist of Carlos as he could manage, hiding the tears of gratitude by burying his face into Carlos' shirt. Kendall smiled fondly at the two before joining in the hug. James, not wanting to be left out, wrapped his long arms all the way around Carlos and Kendall, his front pressing against the back of Logan.
As the four of them stood there in the middle of the hallway, Logan could not help but remember the hug he shared with James in the boys' room; the smart boy had left the bathroom feeling that his face was undoubtedly warm, though he couldn't imagine why in the world it would be. But for now, he was just happy to be surrounded by his new best friends and stay comforted at the thought that they would protect him no matter what.
End of chapter two and I want to ask if you guys want a Kenlos pairing in this fiction or if you want them to just remain friends. Do review the chapter and tell me how I can improve too. Thanks.
