A/N: HOLY SCHMIDT! I cannot believe how well received, this fic is! I mean, I published the first chapter just as I was about to sleep, and the following morning, I wake to my e-mail having 20 notifications from fanfiction because of the many reviews, follows, and favourites from you guys! You guys have no idea how happy that made me!

It's also fun to read all of your wrong guesses as to why Logan is such a jerk to Carlos. I really won't give clues, because it's so obvious.

Oh and a special shout-out to mindapena for inspiring me to write another argument between Carlos and Logan. This one is for you, luv. I hope you like it!

Oh and just in case you were wondering where I got the title for this fanfic, it's a title of a song of "The Hush Sound". Of course, the story is way different from the song, but I just really liked the title... so yeah.

Taking a big risk here... Hope no one gets put off by anything in this chapter.

Chapter 2: Rainbows and Mischief

"Ugh. I can't believe that she has the nerve to side with that..." Logan let out a disgruntled noise. "that... that buffoon!" Logan then violently stabbed a baby potato with his fork. "She kept telling me that her caregiver was special." Logan mumbled and glared at Kendall, challenging him to disagree with him.

Kendall sighed as he noticed that some of the people in the diner were now staring at them. He ignored the dirty look that Logan and several other people kept giving him. He decided that the least troublesome thing he could do is just let Logan rant, and hopefully the other man would eventually talk about other things.

"How would you feel, if you find your grandmother unattended when she was supposed to be accompanied by a caregiver? Huh?!"

"Logan, will you calm down? People are staring." Kendall finally had enough. "Ever since we got kicked out by your grandmother from her room, which was 3 hours ago, all you did was complain and whine about Carlos." Logan was about to say something but Kendall just glared at him, telling him to shut up. "And Carlos isn't a bad person. He gave me half of his lunch, while you left me there to starve."

"I can't believe you're siding with him as well." Logan looked incredulous.

"Of course I am! He didn't do anything wrong." Kendall shrugged. "Besides, he's cute."

"Ah, there it is." Logan huffed in disbelief. "You could do better."

Logan should be happy that Kendall was finally moving on from everything that had happened in Britain. He just couldn't help being a little pissed that Kendall was falling for that person, of all people.

"Jeez. I said he was cute, Logan. I didn't know that finding someone attractive automatically meant that you're dating them, or were we gone for so long that the U.S. made a new law that I was not aware of." The blond replied as he gestured to see the cheque. Kendall was about to grab his wallet, when Logan swatted his hand.

"Don't be absurd. I'm paying." Logan reprimanded. "You know, since you're so butt-hurt from being left earlier."

"Logan; I'm unemployed, not homeless. I still have some money saved up, I'm pretty sure that I'm still capable of paying for my share."

"Yeah, and I'm the reason why you're unemployed." Logan sighed. "You didn't have to come with me, you know. You could've stayed in Britain."

"And leave you?" The blond smirked. "We both know how that turned out."

"At least stay at my flat? It's the least I can do... for everything."

"Logan." Kendall's voice was stern, knowing how sensitive the issue was. "We've been through this before. I'm staying with Katie, heaven knows how long she's been looking forward to see her big bro." Kendall grabbed Logan's knuckle and caressed it with his thumb. "And I don't blame you for anything. In fact, I'm actually glad with how things turned out. Do you understand?"

"I still feel bad though. Are you sure there's nothing I can do?"

"Well, I think it would be awful if I went out alone, tomorrow night." Kendall playfully tapped his chin, as if he was lost in thought. "How I wish there was someone around to go out with me. Someone who wouldn't mind going to a gay bar. Someone who-"

"Fine. I get it." Logan interrupted, raising his hands in mock surrender. "I'll go with you to that stupid gay bar."

"Awww. Don't pout Logan." Kendall teased. "When was the last time you went to a gay bar?"

"Never." Logan snapped. "I'm not looking for one-night-stands."

"Harsh." Kendall hissed. "Not all people who go to a gay bar are people who are looking for a quick fuck. Some just want to go to a bar and enjoy without being judged for their sexual preference. Or you know, go out with their friend."

"Hah!" Logan crossed his arm and looked at Kendall challengingly. "If you can find one person in that bar, besides me, who is there just to be out with their friends, then I..." Logan rubbed his chin, trying to think of a satisfying reward for the challenge.

"You'll ask The Palm Woods' management for Carlos' to be Nana's caregiver again?" Kendall offered.

"Sure, why not? It's not like you'll win." Logan gloated. "But what do I get when I win?"

"If you win, which you won't, I'll finally agree to work for you."

"Oh, it's on." Kendall and Logan shook on it, both determined to win the bet. "Come on, let me drop you off at your sister's house. I want to meet this sister of yours."

"You're going to regret that." Kendall chuckled.

Carlos tried to wipe off the frown that was on his face as he knocked on Kelly's door.

Kelly Wainwright was the woman who was living in the apartment across Carlos'. Ever since Carlos had been gotten a job, Kelly agreed to 'dogsit' Sydney, as her work was home-based. On the days that she couldn't look after Sydney, because she went out with her friends or was going to a place that didn't allow dogs, Carlos would put Sydney in her cage; which something Carlos really hated doing.

"Oh. Hey there, Carlos." A short woman with dark skin and styled curly hair greeted Carlos. "You okay?" She must have noticed how stressed Carlos looked.

"Yeah. Just had a bad day at work."

"What? I thought Nana was a sweetheart." Kelly gave him a questioning look. "Why don't you come inside and tell me about it over tea?" Kelly offered as she stepped aside to let Carlos enter.

"Tea sounds good. Thanks Kelly." Carlos smiled and went inside the apartment.

Carlos glanced around the apartment, comparing it to the last time he had went inside Kelly's apartment. The structure of his and Kelly's apartment were exactly the same, the only differences were the furniture and where they were positioned.

As soon as Carlos had entered the small living area, Sydney came out of nowhere and tackled Carlos, paws trying to reach Carlos' body.

"Hey there, Syd." Carlos held both of her front paws and played with them. "Did you miss me?"

Sydney replied by wagging her tail, accompanied by a soft bark.

"She wasn't too much trouble, was she?" Carlos asked Kelly as she prepared the tea in the open kitchen.

"Not at all." The older woman waved her hand. "In fact she just helped me get a date with a cute boy from the park."

Carlos smiled as heard this. He and Kelly may not spend a lot of time together, but they had a relationship that could rival some cousins have. Even if they were just neighbours, they constantly looked out for each other.

"Oooh. Do I need to roughen him up? Make sure he won't break your heart?" The Latino cracked his knuckles, and tried to give off his fiercest look.

"Stop that." Kelly chuckled. "You just look like a puppy- All bark, no bite."Carlos interrupted with an indignant "Hey!" but Kelly continued. "Besides, we're not here to talk about me and my love life. Now tell me what happened." Kelly handed him a teacup and sat on the chair opposite Carlos.

Carlos then recounted his confrontation with Logan yesterday; using jerk, asshole, douche bag, and fucker as alternatives for Logan's name.

"Nana used to tell me that jerkface was a really sweet boy!" Carlos took a sip from his tea, in the hopes that it would calm him down. "And to think I actually believed her! Though I'm not saying that Nana was lying, I just think she's going senile." Kelly just rolled her eyes.

"I still don't get why you're so upset." Carlos opened his mouth, most likely to go on for another 30 minute rant, but Kelly didn't let him. "I get it, he's a jerk. He had no reason to treat you that way. But you got reassigned, right? You won't have to deal with him anymore..."

"I lost Nana because of him..." Carlos bowed his head. Kelly then understood, how much Nana Mitchell meant to Carlos. At first, Kelly thought that Carlos only enjoyed her company because from what she heard, Nana was a nice lady. She now realizes that ever since Carlos' family stopped talking to him, the Latino had constantly craved for parental figures.

"Cheer up, Carlos." Kelly gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. "I'm sure Nana would let you visit at times." Carlos' head suddenly shot up, his eyes darting from side to side, a habit he has when he's thinking.

"Point taken." Carlos' face lit up. "Still sucks that I got reassigned to a grumpy old man. Wouldn't even talk to me..." He then glanced at his wristwatch as it gave off a small beep. "Oops. Have to get ready for tonight. You sure you don't mind looking after Sydney and Fox till tomorrow?"

"It's no problem. I'll even take care of them till afternoon, so you guys can have time to recover from your hangovers." Kelly smiled as she showed Carlos out.

"Sweet. You're the best, Kel!"

"I know. And don't you go forgetting it! Now go get prepared before I change my mind."

Logan's nose wrinkled in disgust as he stared at the entrance of the gay bar. He glared at the multi colored neon lights, wishing that they would combust under his gaze.

"You're seriously taking me to a gay bar, that's called Rainbow? How tacky." His gaze intensified as they walked closer to the entrance. "Aren't there any more sophisticated gay bars than this?"

"Stop acting like a snob." The bright neon lights may have been playing tricks on his eyes, but Logan saw a hint of mischief in Kendall's eyes.

"What aren't you telling me?" Logan resisted Kendall's tugging, and raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing." Kendall gave a hearty laugh. "Now, stop stalling, and let's go."

"Carlos!"

"No." Carlos hissed. "I wanted to stop for corndogs. You deserve to suffer!"

"Please?!" James insisted.

"You'll just have to wait..." Carlos grinned, obviously enjoying teasing his best friend. "And since we're a little early, it just means that I get to watch you suffer for a little longer."

"Fine. Just give me a hint." James huffed as they got off the cab, already seeing the sign "Rainbow" that resembled the rainbow itself, you know if rainbows were neon.

"Let's just say that I'm a very good wingman." Carlos smiled wider, wishing that his plan would work.

As soon as they had entered the door, Logan's ears were assaulted by ear-splitting music. Logan couldn't make out how crowded it was, as the strobe lights made his head hurt.

Kendall grabbed his wrist and dragged him inside. Logan cursed under his breath as he felt several people grope him, as they tried to move their way through the sea of people. Oh, Kendall was so going to lose the bet.

Kendall scanned the room, looking for a certain Latino. When Kendall had lunch with Carlos yesterday, the Latino had let slip that he was going out with James to a gay bar Carlos invited the blond to come with- and he agreed. Of course, this all happened before the whole argument. And seeing that Carlos did not take back his invitation, nor did he say anything about not bringing Logan; technically he wasn't lying- right?

As he looked for the Latino, his eyes were drawn to a tall man, dancing on top of a table, surrounded by several people. Their eyes locked for a moment, before the man gave him a wink, then turned his back. Logan noticed that Kendall had stopped moving, and was now watching some man's butt shimmy.

"Go ahead. I know you want to go there." Logan shouted, hoping that Kendall heard him. "I'll be at the bar." Logan pointed at the direction of the bar. "You want anything?"

Kendall mouthed "No thanks" completely forgetting about his plan. Logan nodded and headed towards the bar.

Carlos took a swig of his beer, as he watched James have the time of his life. Carlos' back was pressed against the bar, slouching a little in his seat. His position, gave him a good view of the room, as the bar was at the left most side of the room.

He checked his phone, worrying that Kendall would cancel on him. You see, as soon as Carlos had seen Kendall's green eyes, he knew that he had to set him up with James. Yes, it may have been shallow to think that they would make a good match just by judging Kendall's eyes, but as he had lunch with the blond, he figured that their personalities fit.

Carlos' eyes darted between James- who was now dancing on top of a table, and the entrance- waiting for Kendall to arrive.

After his second pint of beer, people had started to finally show up. Everyone was grinding against somebody. People were losing themselves to the beats of the song. Carlos wanted to be amongst those people, but decided that he would drink another pint. If Kendall still hasn't showed up by the time he finished his beer, then he was probably going to have hear James bitch at how Carlos led him on with the whole "I have a surprise for you" that Carlos promised.

A quarter into his pint, Carlos felt relief as he saw Kendall walk in through the entrance. The relief was short-lived though, as he saw that Kendall was dragging a certain asshole behind him. He saw Kendall do a quick scan of the room, most likely searching for him. Carlos quickly bowed his head, hoping that the sea of people would hide him from the blond.

Carlos then tried to catch James' eyes, hoping that he could convince the man to move to a different bar. He would promise to make up for coming up empty-handed, but Carlos would rather hear James' incessant bitching, than have to spend a whole night with Dr. Jerkface.

He didn't know whether to be happy or mortified. He saw Kendall and James look at each other, with Kendall obviously heading towards James. But at the same time, he saw Logan lean in to Kendall and motioned towards the bar.

Carlos cussed as his fight-or-flight instincts kicked in a little too late, if he left his seat, Carlos would immediately see him, and he wasn't really in the mood to fight with anyone tonight. So Carlos decided to resort to feigning ignorance. He faced the bar, and hoped that Logan would sit away from him as far as possible.

Logan was relieved as he approached the bar, and saw that it was empty, except for a man seating in the furthest seat. The man looked a little lonely, as he had his head bowed down, staring into his pint of beer.

Normally, Logan would leave the person alone- he didn't really need emotional baggage, but since Logan was feeling a little lonely as well, he decided against his better judgment and approached the man anyways.

Logan plopped on the seat beside the man, and he saw the man's back stiffen. Not wanting to seem creepy, Logan ordered a pint of his own before he started a conversation with the man.

"You seem a-" Logan faltered as he finally noticed who he was talking to. "Oh, it's you."

Carlos frowned as he finished his pint of beer. "What the hell do you want?" he asked as he wiped his mouth.

"As if I would want anything from you." Logan laughed.

"I don't know if you're just really this rude to everyone or if you just have some irrational grudge against me." Carlos glared at Logan. "I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're just really rude to everyone, but then I start to remember it's you I'm talking about, so you probably hate me for something so petty."

"Oh please, as if I would waste my time as so much as to feel something for you or treat you differently." Logan replied "You just happen to piss me off."

"That's my point!" Carlos yelled, laughing bitterly. "I don't understand why you're so pissed off! I mean I would think that you would treat the person who was busy taking care of your-" Carlos poked Logan in the chest."-grandmother, while you-" another poke to the chest"-were in freaking Europe, with a little more respect!"

Logan couldn't find anything to say to that, so he just downed his beer, ordering for another pint.

Carlos sighed. "Look. I know you hate my guts, but we just have a truce for one night?" Logan glanced sideways, looking at the Latino.

"Fine." Logan replied as he ran his fingers through his hair.

The two of them sat there in silence, Carlos gulping pint after pint. Logan on the other hand, ordered different drinks- from tequila to whiskey.

After several drinks later, Logan couldn't help himself asking what the Latino was doing in a gay bar, sulking.

"So, why aren't you out there, looking for sex?" Logan knew that he was already somewhat intoxicated, as his speech was already slurred.

"Puh-lease." Apparently, Carlos was already drunk, as he giggled. "Not everyone here is looking for a one night stand. I just wanted my best friend to have fun- is all." Carlos continued to giggle.

"Still shocked to know that you're gay."

"Bisexual- actually" Carlos corrected, before proceeding to another fit of giggles.

"What's so funny?" Logan demanded.

"Nothing, nothing." Carlos tried to contain his giggling. "I just can't believe I like you." Carlos burst into a loud laugh this time. "Seriously, from Nana's stories, I actually liked you. I was even excited to meet you!"

Logan looked at Carlos as if he had suddenly sprouted another head. "Well this is news for me."

"Oh stop being so modest." Carlos leaned in and whispered. "You're sexy."

Logan strongly disliked Carlos, but he's got to admit that Kendall was right. Carlos was indeed good looking. He normally looked adorable, with his boyish smile, but he can also be downright sexy when he wants to.

Logan felt his jeans tighten as Carlos' tongue darted out and traced the shell of Logan's ear. Carlos then suddenly stood up and headed towards the bathroom.

Logan, blaming the alcohol, stood up and followed Carlos.

Kendall and James were outside the bar, wanting to escape the loud and crowded space. They sat on the curb, not really talking.

"I really owe Carlos a big one." James was the first one to break the silence. "You must be the surprise, he kept talking about."

"This is weird." Kendall replied. "Usually, when I have sex, which by the way was very good, with someone, in a bathroom no less, I usually don't have conversations with them."

"Same here." James smirked. "I guess there's a first time for everything?" Both of them laughed.

"I guess so." Kendall smiled. There was another stretch of silence before James spoke up again.

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure." James bit his lower lip, causing Kendall to remember how moments ago it was him who was doing the biting.

"Why is Logan so mean to Carlos?" Kendall wasn't expecting this to be the question.

"It's really complicated." Kendall smiled. "But I'm glad you brought it up."

"Why?"

"Because I have a plan... And I may need your help..." Kendall said a little too mysteriously.

Logan was surprised to see that the bathroom was actually clean. It was a sudden change from the dark room, although Logan was sure that it reeked of sex.

As he looked for Carlos, he gasped when a pair of hands suddenly appeared from a cubicle and dragged him inside. Logan was roughly shoved in the wall and was attacked by a pair of hungry lips.

Logan immediately tasted alcohol. Carlos then started nibbling Logan's jaw; licking and biting. He steadied himself by grabbing Carlos' shoulders and shoved him on the opposite wall. This time it was Logan who shoved his tongue down Carlos' throat, their tongues fighting for dominance.

Carlos pulled away and unbuttoned Logan's jeans. He was already unzipping his pants when he asked: "Got a condom?" to which Logan nodded.

Carlos pulled down Logan's jeans and boxers, causing it pool in his ankles. Logan's dick was throbbing, hungry for attention. The Latino didn't waste time and started sucking it, not taking his eyes off of Logan.

"F-fuck." Logan grabbed a fistful of Carlos' hair and played with it. Carlos bobbed his head all the way down, before pulling away with a resounding 'pop'.

The Latino then grabbed Logan's hand and started sucking on his fingers. He alternated between treating his fingers like his cock, bobbing his head up and down, or giving one a slow teasing lick.

Barely containing himself, Logan pulled Carlos up and turned him around. He helped the Latino lose his pants and bent the other man over. He fondled Carlos' ass, before spreading them apart. He inserted a finger, which was only met by Carlos arching towards him.

"Hurry up!" Carlos hissed.

Logan added another finger and started stretching. Carlos were making this deep guttural sounds, trying his best not to moan in pleasure or hiss out in pain. Deeming that the other man was sufficiently prepared, he rummaged for the condom in his discarded pants.

Carlos could feel Logan's cock pressing against the cleft of his ass. Getting impatient, Carlos bucked his hips. "Get on with it!"

Logan found out that being ordered around during sex, turned him on. Hearing the impatience in the other man's voice, Logan complied. He slowly entered Carlos, and once he was down to the hilt, he waited for the other man to adjust.

"Move, damn it." Carlos hissed. Logan started a slow steady rhythm, which Carlos followed. Logan used one of his hands and grabbed Carlos' dick and pumped it in rhythm. Soon enough their rhythm turned into frantic thrusting, as they both neared their climax.

"FUCK!" Carlos yelled out as he came. Logan could feel the warm sticky liquid fill his hand. Logan lost it when Carlos' muscled tightened and squeezed as the Latino came.

Neither of them moved from their positions, trying to ride out the high that came with sex. Carlos grabbed the tissue paper in the cubicle and offered some to Logan. They both cleaned themselves up, neither of them saying a word. Logan, finally having regained feeling in his bones, started to dress up. As so did Carlos.

They left the bathroom, and walked off in different directions.

A/N: Surprise?

Please review.

Love lots, and keep on rushing.
