"I'm back." He put the comic book on the counter and smiled. "Perfect condition."

"Very nice. Did you like it?" He put it in it's case and onto the cart. He leaned on the counter, giving Logan his full attention.

"I loved it. I'm definitely coming back tomorrow for the fourth one."

"Tomorrow? Why not now?"

"I'm hanging out with a friend tonight and I don't want it to get wrecked at his place." Logan saw a change in James' facial expression. "He's my best friend. We're working on school stuff." He laughed.

"You know, Logan. We should hang out sometime."

"H-hang out? Like, outside of the library?"

"Yeah. You do have a life outside of the library, right?" He laughed. It was taking all the restraint that Logan had not to swoon.

"Of course, but I can get pretty busy with school and all." What am I doing? Turning down a chance to hang out with the guy of my dreams? Stupid, Logan. Really stupid.

"Yeah. Life as a college boy must be pretty pressing." College boy? No wonder James was wasting so much time on him. He thought he was in college. Don't lead him on, Logan. Tell him you're only in high school.

"College? Oh, yeah. Being a college student is so stressful sometimes."

"You think you could fit me into that busy college schedule?" Logan nodded, hoping not to look too desperate. "Alright. How about this weekend we go see a movie or something?" He wrote his phone number down on a notecard and handed it to Logan.

"That sounds great."


"I told him I was in college. Well, I didn't actually say I was in college, he just assumed."

"So, when are you gonna tell him that you're not?"

"Well, why ruin things? Obviously it's part of the reason that he likes me so much. Maybe I can keep him in the dark for a year and a half, then when I turn eighteen and go away for college I can say I stayed back or something."

"He'd never believe that someone as smart as you stayed back and if he does he's stupid."

"I guess that's true." Logan finished off the last problems of his Trigonometry homework and tossed the book to the side. "I'm just worried. I don't want to tell him because I know that something else will probably make him hate me before he even finds out that I'm sixteen."

"What could anyone possibly hate about you, dude? You're perfect."

"Well, he's in college and he's gorgeous which means two things. One, he's far more experienced than I, and two, he has options."

"So?" If looks could kill, Kendall would've been dead.

"So, that means that if we date and he finds out that I've never been kissed or had sex he could very easily kick me to the curb and find someone new." Logan reached up to flick Kendall's ear. Laughing when he shrieked and reached up to rub it. "Dumb ass."

"Okay. I deserved that. But being a virgin at sixteen isn't horrible. You should've had your first kiss by now though..." He trailed off. Logan shoved him.

"It's not that bad! A girl kissed me in sixth grade, other than that I'm clueless." Kendall shrugged.

"It's not that different." He got up and walked over to the kitchen.

"Wait, you've kissed a guy before?" Kendall nodded before he put down the carton of milk in his hand and swallowed. "You're gay?"

"A little. I guess." He looked over at the expression on Logan's face and laughed. "What? I kissed a guy on a dare once, and we went out for a while. He's the only guy I've ever kissed though."

"You went out with a guy?" Kendall nodded and made his way back to the living room couch. "Wow."

"Yeah. It didn't end well." He looked over at Logan pensively.

"What?" Logan asked when he saw Kendall's expression.

"No. It's stupid."

"Really, man. What?"

"Well, you need help and I'm your friend. Friends help friends when they need help and-"

"Are you offering to teach me how to kiss?"

"Possibly. I guess."

"Won't that be weird?"

"Well, no because neither of us like each other that way." Logan shifted in his seat. Practice couldn't hurt, right? And Kendall was his friend. "So, do you wanna?"

"Sure. I guess." Kendall's eyes widened in shock.

"Okay." He moved to sit directly in front of Logan. The brunette closed his eyes pursed his lips. Kendall laughed.

"No. Don't do that." He put his hands on Logan's cheeks and massaged them. "Relax. Don't move your lips at all before the kiss starts."

"Well, don't get snippy with me. You're supposed to be teaching me, so teach!"

"So, since he's taller than you, I'm considering you the 'girl' in this situation." Logan punched his arm. "So, you're probably going to have a hand somewhere between his neck and his shoulders." Kendall took one of Logan's arms and positioned his hand at the base of his neck.

"Then, since you're a wimp, you're probably going to wait for him to move in."

"I am not a wim-" Logan sighed when Kendall's lips met his. They were soft and gentle. Logan let his lips move against Kendall's for what felt like an eternity. Kendall's tongue ghosted over the seam of Logan's lips and he jumped back. He leaned against the couch, letting air fill his lungs after almost three minutes without a full breath.

"You know he's in college and he thinks you are, too. He's not going to ask for permission to use tongue like I did. He's just gonna do it."

"Well, I'll be ready by then."


I got lazy, so this one's a little late but the next chapter's coming really soon. :)-
