H-Hey guys. Sorry I haven't updated in, like, ever. I'm not gonna lie, I actually just kinda forgot about this story. :p Go figure. But, I'm back now, I'm updating again, and I'm excited to get this story going again! Woo-hoo!

Thanks to anyone and everyone's who reviewed, favorited, and/or followed. I really appreciate it!


Logan woke up, and immediantly curled deeped into his blankets. He was freezing. He listened as the wind shook his tent, and when he finally opened his eyes a little he could see the little black dots that we fluttering outside of his tent. He sighed, sitting up, shivering as the warm air that had gathered under his blanket disappeared into the cold air around him.

He sighed, knowing he had to change his clothes. He looked down at his jeans, debating on if they were clean enough to wear or not, but as the wind shook the tent again, he decided he didn't really feel like changing out of them. But he did know he needed to change out of his shirt, which sadly meant taking off the coat he was wearing. So he sighed and unzipped the hand-me-down coat that was wearing out from being slept in so much, shivering as the bitter cold quickly ambushed him. He changed shirts quickly, throwing on whatever shirt he grabbed first, silently cussing when he realized it was backwards and fixing it, and then putting the coat back on and zipping it. He then quickly changed socks, and as he was tying his sneakers, which were a pair he had, as much as he hated it, stolen back a couple months when his were getting too small. These were still a big on him, which Logan didn't mind, it just meant he'd still have time to grow into them, and then more time to grow out. He looked over at his small pile of clothes, meaning about 7 shirts, 2 other pairs of jeans, and a couple pair of socks and underwear. He looked over at the jar of money, deciding he was going to go by the laundromat some time this weekend.

Logan made sure his homework was in his backpack before quickly throwing it over his shoulders. He sighed, closing his eyes and taking a moment to not think, before unzipping the tent, climbing out, and zipping it back up. As he walked across the roof, he slipped numerous times on the snow and ice. As he looked down at the old fire escape that was also covered in snow and ice, he sighed, silently thinking this would be a lame way to die.


Kendall was starting to get worried. Logan was always there way before he was, and here Logan was 15 minutes late. He kept staring out the window as James and Carlos chatted in front of him.

"Dude, chill, he probably just over slept." James said, watching his unblinking friend.

"Or playing in the snow." Carlos added, taking a bite of the donut he bought.

"Yeah, probably..." Kendall mumbled, his eyes switching from the hot chocolate that sat next to him onto the window, all though looking out the window was usuless with the flurry of snow falling. His thoughts were blocked by images of Logan out there somewhere, probably hurt from slipping. He probably hit his head, and there was probably blood everywhere, and Logan was probably unconscious, or maybe he was conscious but nobody could hear him calling for help, or maybe-

Kendall's gruesome thoughts were inturupted as the bell above the door jingled, indicating a newcomer. Kendall turned around quickly, relief flooding through him and smiling widely at the sight of his best friend. Logan smiled over at them immediantly, knowing they were sitting at their usual table. Kendall quickly stood up and walked over to him. His eyes widened when he saw his more-than-usual pale best friend, who's nose, cheeks, and ears were bright red, and was shivering a little too much for Kendall's liking. Snow also completely dusted his brown hair, which just made him look slightly adorable. And yes,Kendall was allowed to think Logan was adorable. He always had, no matter how much Carlos and James teased him for it.

"Logie! You look half frozen! Like a- a- a Logie-sicle!" Kendall exclaimed, throwing an arm over Logan's shoulder and leading him over to their table. Logan took of his coat and sat down, smiling greatfully at Kendall, who would easily deny the fact that it made his heart jump a little bit, when he spotted the hot chocolate.

Kendall took his seat next to Logan and grinned softly as he watched Logan take long sips of the hot chocolate. James and Carlos shared a knowing look, one that had been appearing more and more often over the passing weeks since they meet Logan.

"What took you so long Logie?" Carlos asked, through another mouthful of donut.

"Yeah dude, I thought Kendall was going to have a melt down, or explode or something." James added, looking over at Carlos. He put his hand over the smaller boys mouth as Carlos went to take another bite. "Dude, swallow before taking another bite. You'll be amazed how less often you choke."

Logan, ignoring that last comment, looked over at Kendall again. He unconsciouly licked his lips over hot chocolate before asking, "Really? Why?"

Kendall, who quickly stopped staring at Logan's lips when they started moving, caught Logan's confused eyes and shrugged. "I dunno, I was just worried."

Logan stared at him, smiled a little bit, and turned back to James and Carlos, who were for some reason making odd faces at each other. Logan started laughing, quickly asking to be caught up in the conversation.

Kendall just stared at his three best friends, smiling as they each tried to one-up the other's odd face. And while his eye may have lingered a little longer on Logan, he was going to ignore the butterflies that fluttered in his stomach. It was no secret that Kendall Knight was gay, and he wasn't afraid to make sure it was known. Sure, it got him roughed up now and again, but he wouldn't trade who he was for anything. And, as long as he had his friends by his side, the rest of the world didn't even matter.

Before Logan came along, Kendall would've said we was closer to James than Carlos, which didn't mean much. Their mothers had been great friends, so they had known each other pretty much their entire lifes. James was also bisexual, having come out before Kendall did, so they had become impossibly closer when Kendall started questioning his sexuality.

James had been more of a big brother to Kendall, where as Carlos was the little brother to both of them. Carlos was always running around, Kendall and James chasing close behind, yelling out warnings. Kendall usually gave up the chase, where as James would keep going until he managed to pin the younger boy to the ground. That had happened on more than one occasion. It was often discussed that Kendall was the unofficial leader, but James was the official big brother.

Things had been going good for the three of them. They had just started their freshman year of high school, and had finally gotten into the new swing of things when Carlos had plowed into a certain brown-eyed boy going down the stairs on the way to lunch one day.

Kendall's heart momentairly stopped, both when the small boy was sent tumbling down the stairs, and when he got a good look at the boy as he helped him up.

Kendall's thoughts were inturrupted by loud laughter. He blinked a couple times and returned to reality, looking over to see Carlos burying his face in his arms, which were laying on the tables. James had his mouth covered with his hands and laughing tears shinning in his eyes, a red tint starting to cover his face. Kendall looked over only to realize Logan was leaning against him, eyes tightly shut and shaking with silent laughter. Kendall mentally himself started chuckling, looking at the state his three friends were in.

He didn't question what he missed when his friends calmed down, all three red in the face, laughing tears in their eyes. Logan pointed at Carlos, the glare he was trying to do ruined by the smile on his face. "No. Never. Not in a million years."

"But-" Carlos said, smile still wide.

Logan raised a hand, silencing Carlos. "Change of topic!" He announced loudly. He turned around to look over his shoulder, checking the time. "Shall we be goin'?" He asked.

James sent him a puzzled look. "Going way?"

"To school?" Logan quizzed, rasing an eyebrow.

"Nope." Carlos said cheerfully. "School's closed today, most likely will be tomorrow too."

"Oh." Logan said, sounding disappionted. Kendall was slightly confused by that, but he knew Logan loved school, so he shrugged it off. "So, what should we do then?"

James and Carlos stoood up in sync. "Well, we're going to go back to my house," Carlos said. "And we're going to beat that evil video game."

James smiled and nodded, walking to stand behind his chair and putting his coat on. "What are you guys gonna do?"

Kendall looked over at Logan and shrugged. "We can head back to my house?" Kendall offered. "We're going to go pick out our Christmas tree today. I'm sure Mom won't mind if you tag along, she loves you."

Logan blushed and ducked his head, which made Kendall laugh. He always did this when Kendall talked about how highly his mom thinks of him, which she really did. Logan was always shy and poliet whenever he was over, which was a big difference from Carlos and James, and while Kendall knew she loved them too, Logan was someone who would sit down and talk with her or help her around the house if Kendall was busy or out.

"Yeah, okay." Logan said, staring at his empty mug.

Carlos and James said their goodbyes, and Kendall and Logan soon followed. As they walked out of the coffe shop, Kendall threw his arm over Logan's shoulder, and the butterflies in his stomach fluttered around when Logan leaned into him. "You know, this is like your official initiation. Spending Christmas with us."

Logan looked up at him. "Oh yeah? What am I being initiated into?" He asked.

Kendall smiled brightly, looking ahead again. "Even though you already are, you'll be officially apart of our little family."

Kendall didn't see the way Logan's eyes widened at those words.


Okay, okay. It's been 7 months since I've updated this. 7 months! Jeez time flies. I kinda jumped into this story before I was ready, mistake I know, and so I had to rethink and be positive of where I want to go with this story, which will probably change anyway but not knowing caused no writing and so on. Also I've just been completely uninspired in the writing department, but maybe slowly edging my way back in will get that kick back.

Hope you all liked! Please, please review. You guys have been so friggin' incredible when it comes to reviewing, and I don't want that to stop! Much much love to all of you, and starting from here on I will start responding, I cross my heart!
