Ch. 5 – Photographs

"Hey Logan, wake up…" Carlos shook the boy asleep on the orange couch lightly, so he could get prepared to go to school. Logan's eyes opened slowly as he stretched his body. "Good morning. I left a pair of jeans and one of my shirts for you to wear today."

"Thanks. Man, I need to wash my face." Logan got up and removed the sand from his eyes. He walked to the bathroom but before he could enter, James came running from his bedroom and did it before him locking himself there. When Logan realized what just happened, he couldn't be more pissed as he knocked hardly on the door. "James! What the…"

"I need my beauty treatment. So get over it." James said on the other side and it only got things worse.

"James, open this door right now!" Logan warned leaning against the wall. "Or I'll break into the bathroom."

"I'd like to see you try bitch!" That word was enough to wake up the tiger inside Logan. He went back to the living room and grabbed his pocket knife. He knelt in front of the door as he tried to open it. After it was done, Logan turned the doorknob, and gasped at the image before him. James stood there in front of the mirror with messy hair wearing just his boxers with a hairspray can in his hand while he used the other comb his hair with his lucky comb. His eyes were puffed and his lips a little swollen, and although Logan hated to say, James kept on growing more beautiful each passing day, even looking like this. "How did you get in?"

"Smile!" Logan said and suddenly grabbed his cellphone and took a picture of James like that. The pretty boy let go of everything he was doin at that moment and in one quick movement, he took hold of Logan's cellphone and tried to delete the recent photo. "That's mine! Give it back!"

"I won't let other people see it." James tried every single password but he couldn't unlock the cellphone. Logan attempted to reach his device in the taller boy's hands and all of a sudden, James slipped because of a wet spot on the floor, making both of them fall on the ground and Logan's cellphone release from the grip of his hand before it fell inside the toilet. "Ops."

"James, you idiot! That was my cellphone!" Logan yelled punching James' chest several times. He then moved over the toilet and took his mobile off the water, hoping it would still survive.

"Guys, what's happening?" Carlos walked inside the bathroom and all he needed to see Logan's cellphone dripping wet to understand everything. He opened the drawer and grabbed the dryer, so he could help Logan to recover his mobile.

~BTR~

During breakfast, everybody was silent as the accident in the bathroom came up to their ears. Mrs. Knight just kept on cooking, Carlos ate his eggs and bacon silently, Kendall still couldn't figure out why the Latino still wouldn't talk to him and Katie tried to suppress her laugh as she watched both Logan and James sitting side by side with their arms crossed upon their chests.

"Ok, guys. This has to end. You have to talk to one another, at least on the tutor classes." Mrs. Knight said and the two frowning teenagers looked up at her. "Logan, it was an accident. And James, Logan is our guest. We gotta make him feel comfortable."

"Hm… Sorry Logan. I screwed it up again. I hope you can forgive me." James words sounded in the air and everybody seemed to freeze in shock. James Diamond was apologizing without someone telling him to.

"It's ok. At least you're being sincere." Logan replied and they smiled. The others paralyzed for seeing them talk in a civilized way. No yelling, no insults and obviously no physical contact.

James was torn between his feelings and he enjoyed it when he and Logan were nice to each other. It made him wish they were alone so he could expose the way he felt. But then he would remember Jett and the way Logan smiled at whatever the brunette would do, quickly finding himself gritting his teeth and wanting Logan to stand miles away from him.

~BTR~

After breakfast, the four of them walked to school together. Kendall was too busy trying to make Carlos talk to him again, leaving James and Logan walk behind them at a slower pace and side by side. James tried to come up with something to say, but he couldn't do it. For the first time, he didn't know what to say. He always did a great job at calling the girls' attention, but now he felt powerless around someone.

"I don't think I can go to Jett's pool party." Logan said out of nothing and interlaced his arm with James'. The pretty boy blushed at his tutor's actions and his heart jumped from nervousness and joy after hearing Logan's words. "I don't know how to swim."

"Then don't go. It's not a pool party if you can't get into water." James knew it was a perfect day to stay by the pool. Different from the night before, the sun was shining and the temperature was high. "I could teach you how to swim one of these days, I mean… If you want me to."

"I would like that. You'd have your chance of turning tables and being my tutor." Logan joked and they both smiled sincerely. "We can start today after the tutoring. I'll pass over my house and grab my swim trunks. Ok?"

"Ok. Just try to pay attention on the lessons and not on my perfect body." James mocked and received a punch on his shoulder from the boy beside him. "Ouch! C'mon, admit it. You're only like this to feel my awesome arms."

"What?! I would never…" Logan's voice faded when he felt James flex his bicep harder against his hand. "Oh my God! I mean, I've seen better."

"Sure you did." James replied and they walked to the school with a warm feeling in their chests.

~BTR~

"C'mon Logan, soon it'll be dark." James called from the living room in his speedo and with a towel upon his shoulder. They finished their tutoring lessons and James felt proud for getting a higher grade on Logan's evaluation. "LOGAN!"

"Coming!" The short boy shouted back and went into the same room as James. Right then they took a good look at each other's bodies. Logan's eyes travelled down James' neck, appraising the sight of his thick pecs, passing through his strong arms and washboard abs. When he reached the tight speedos, Logan looked away.

James, on the other side, never thought he would be ogling another guy like this. Logan wasn't as built as him, but for a boy who kept his eyes on the books, he had a great body. His chest was hard, but it matched his salient hipbones. He was wearing black swim trunks and it couldn't fit him better.

"So… hum, shall we go?" James asked and Logan nodded before they went out of the apartment and headed to the pool area. James kicked his flip-flops and placed their towels upon a chair. He took Logan to the shallowest part of the pool, so he could get used to it before going deeper. "Get in the water."

"Ok." Logan said simply as he took a walked downstairs into the pool. James then suddenly pulled Logan into his arms. It made the smart boy blush at the same time the pretty boy tried to hide his desire to touch Logan's skin.

"Before everything, I'm going to teach you how to float. So, try holding the air inside your lungs. It'll keep you from drowning. Also move your arms and legs to steady your body." James said and Logan simply nodded at his instructions. "Ok, now I'm going to release you."

Logan felt James' strong arms around him get farther from his body and he held some of the air inside him. He was able to float for a few seconds before his body entered the water like it was a heavy rock. He panicked and when he felt a pair of arms push him back to the surface, he couldn't help but wrap his legs around James' waist and his arms around his savior's neck just like a boy who was afraid of the dark.

"It's ok. I got you." James said feeling Logan's desperate breathing on his neck.

"Listen, this is useless. We should stop." Logan replied demotivated. He just couldn't. Ever since that day when he was five and the boat where he and his father were fishing turned upside down, Logan was afraid of the water. "I feel so ridiculous."

"Not for me." James said and they moved their heads so they could look into each other's eyes.

"Says the guy who calls me a bitch every day." Logan said and both of them knew to where it would lead them.

"That's because you are a bitch." James fired back smiling deep inside of him. He finally got a chance to heat things up. "And because I hate the way you seem to want people to look at you like some kind of genius."

"Well, if you hate me so much why did you kiss me?" Logan asked and in a blink of an eye, James brought his lips closer, pulling Logan to another heated battle of tongues. They held each other tighter, getting as much as body contact as possible. James' hands caressed the boys' backside beneath the water, loving the slightly defined muscles he found there. Logan pulled James' head closer to his, trying to win the battle, but also knowing he couldn't do it. They were alone in the pool since most people liked to enjoy it when the sun was shiny and bright. This way James could have total control of Logan's body without Bitters telling them to leave.

Logan felt James' hands move lower, gripping his butt in the process. James, on the other side, was happy with what he had in his grip at the same time he never thought of doing this with another guy. It felt so right… Just like Logan told him, he knew exactly what to do. But the lack of air made him avoid from going further. After their lips parted, James was enchanted by the sight of Logan with his puffy lips and wet hair. They panted for a while before the silence was broken.

"I kissed you because… because I hate how much it turns me on when you challenge me with your smart words and bitchy attitude. It makes me wanna piss you off so I can spend time with you. No one has ever made me feel like this, and I… I just wanna hold you in my arms forever and never let anyone touch you again. To keep you as the most valuable thing I have and I shiver everytime I see you with Jett." James eyes were shinning as he whispered the words his heart was forcing him to say. "I feel jealous. Jealous to know you might prefer him over me. I know I'm not the smartest one, but I know if you let me, I can make you happy. I love you Logan Mitchell..."

"Oh God. I love you too. I should hate you the whole night through, instead of having sweet dreams about you. I wish I could stay in your arms as long as I live. I feel so protected, so loved…" Logan's hand moved to the pretty boy's cheek, caressing it softly.

"So, please let me make those dreams come true." James held Logan even tighter, like a kid who don't want to share his toy.

"But what about Kendall, Jett, Mercedes? And it can ruin your reputation at school, at soccer. I don't want to see you go down." Logan said feeling James' lips pressing lightly on his neck.

"They don't have to know. We can keep it a secret." James' idea was actually brilliant. They could role-play their fights and when nobody was looking, enjoy themselves as much as they could. "What do you say, bitch?"

"I say yes jerk." Logan said and they kept their swimming lessons. James made it easier for Logan to learn. Everytime he did something right, the pretty boy would reward him with a wet kiss. Hide their relationship was such a turn on for both and they couldn't wait to put their plan to practice…

Ok, so they want it a secret.
