Coming over later turned into coming over now. The two boys raced down the street, cutting in between yards, before making it to the elementary school to pick up Katie. Pausing, hands on knees, Logan fought to catch his breath, Kendall's body beside his in a matching position.
"I won." Kendall's competitive nature often blurred his view on the outcome of the many races the boys partook in.
Standing straight, Logan rested his hands on his hips, voice indignant. "You did not."
Eyes dramatically widening in surprise, Kendall spluttered; unable to accept a tie.
Falling into familiar, friendly banter, Logan mentally sighed. Nothing was going to change. Perhaps Kendall thought he meant they'd go as friends. Go stag, together.
Taking a step closer, Kendall entered Logan's personal space and blew in his face. Laughing at Logan's affronted expression, Kendall regained his attention.
"I won."
"Did not." Kendall's arms circled Logan's hips.
"Mhm." Kendall's palms pressed into Logan's lower back.
"That's…buh." Kendall's face inched closer and closer, Logan going cross-eyed trying to keep him in focus. "Okay you win."
Smiling, Kendall pushed his lips to Logan's. Gently. Softly, Perfectly.
Perhaps things would change.
