…
Logan chatted happily with Carlos as they made their way to the lunch room.
But then, he stopped in his tracks.
Because, sitting at their table, was James, who had a comforting arm around Kendall.
But that isn't what made him stop.
What made him stop was the fact that Kendall was sporting an awful black eye and bruises all over his face.
"Kendall!" Carlos exclaimed, rushing up to his friend. "What happened to you?" Logan, in a daze, followed him. The closer he got, he realized that their table wasn't as empty as it usually was. The seat next to Kendall was empty as was the one next to James. But three more chairs had been pulled up; Jo, Lucy, and Camille occupied these.
"It's nothing," Kendall said shyly, biting his swollen lip and looking down. He only looked up when he felt a firm hand holding his chin.
"Who did this to you?"
"Mitch," James answered for the silent Kendall. "I found him beating him up." Logan stiffened up as his face darkened into a mask of anger so terrifying that Kendall had to flinch back a bit. Logan saw this and frowned.
"That ass," he growled, turning from the table.
"Loges. Don't do it right now," James said, sliding an arm over Carlos' shoulders now. "Come comfort Kendall." Everyone at the table watched as he instantly relaxed and came back to sit next to Kendall.
"Are you okay?" Kendall nodded as Logan's fingers brushed over his bruises. He hissed at the contact.
"I'm sorry this happened to you. Looks like you and Carlos both had a bad day."
"What happened to you?!" James asked, head swiveling like an owl's to look Carlos over. "You don't have bruises… Did someone hurt you?!"
"I'm fine… Just some girls being bitches to me," he said quietly, giving James a hopeful smile. James didn't buy it though.
"Loges?"
"They were a couple of your fans I think. One had long blonde hair, the other had really curly-"
"The two Jennifers. Of course," James said in anger. He looked at Jo and Lucy and smiled at them. "You two wanna help me get those two back?"
"Sure." James, now appeased that his revenge would be executed smoothly, tightened his arm around Carlos happily. Logan smiled at them and placed his hand on Kendall's, squeezing it slightly.
"So, Carlos, what would you like to do tonight?" James asked, making Carlos grin widely. Logan watched them before giving Kendall a soft smile.
"Maybe we should reschedule our plans tonight. That looks pretty bad," he said softly, brushing his fingers over the bruises again. Kendall hissed at the pain again.
"I could make it."
"Please. For me?" Kendall frowned but nodded. "I'll escort you home personally okay?" Now Kendall smiled.
"Okay."
…
After school:
*James*
James leaned against his car and watched as the two Jennifers stormed up to him, papers clutched in their hands.
"What did you do!" they screeched at him, making him laugh loudly and proudly.
"Had some help placing these," he said, grabbing a sheet of paper from one of them, "All around the school."
"This is a lie!" the blonde one screamed, throwing the papers in his face.
"This is not," he simply said, holding up his sheet; it contained a photo of the two girls in question, kissing heavily.
"We were practicing!"
"For what? The Lesbian Olympics?" he scoffed, throwing the paper on the ground now. "If I hear that you two even come close to bothering Carlos ever again, you will live to regret it for the rest of your lives. I know things about you two that would make even your icy skin crawl. Understood?" They looked at each other then at him. "If you don't, let me put it so you can. I will make this go away as long as you promise to leave him alone! Get it now?"
"Yes," they said together, "We're sorry."
"Good. Now get the fuck out of my face." As they scurried away, James looked up to see Carlos looking at him. "How much of that did you see?"
"Enough," he said simply, walking up to James and hugging him tightly. "Thank you."
…
*Logan*
"I saw what you did to Kendall," Logan said simply enough, looking at his teammate Mitch. Mitch was tall, with curly blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes; an all-american boy if there was one.
"What's that Fish got that I don't?" he asked, standing up and looking at the Logan with distaste. "We had something good. Why'd you end it?"
"Because I didn't care about you."
"You loved me!"
"I pitied you," Logan said, kicking him in the gut, making him fall to the floor. "I hated you. I tried to be a good boyfriend, but all you did was bitch and complain whenever I talked to other guys, my own brother included!" he said, kicking him again. The guy struggled to get up and glared at Logan.
"I loved you! We… we had sex!"
"So? What's that have to do with anything?" Logan asked, punching him in the face.
"I… I told him," he said as he staggered against the wall.
"What?"
"I told him… we had sex… and that you liked it….Only from me." Logan saw red as he rushed him. The guy blocked him as much as he could, but Logan still got some punches in.
"I want nothing to do with you. Ever. If you come near my Kendall again, I will not hesitate to kill you."
"You wouldn't."
"Don't be so sure," Logan said, punching him in the face one last time. "You have no idea who you're messing with." Logan turned and left then, heading to the coaches office.
He needed some bandages for his hand.
…
"Logan, you gotta work on these anger issues," his coach said, wrapping his hand. "He might press charges."
"He won't," Logan said, wincing as the bandage got tighter.
"How do you know that?"
"Because he won't. Trust me."
…
Kendall looked up in surprise when he saw Logan.
"Your hands!"
"I'm fine," he said, hugging Kendall. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. But your hands-"
"They're fine. I've had worse injuries from hockey. Come on, lets get you home."
…
*James & Carlos*
"I feel kind of bad, leaving Kendall alone like that," Carlos commented as he and James entered a restaurant for an early dinner.
"He's with Logan remember?"
"True…"
"Hey, if you're that concerned, why don't you text him and see what he's doing? Would that make you feel better?"
"No. I'm sure you're right. I just worry is all. He's like a brother to me."
"I understand. If something was wrong with Logan, I'd be the same way." They shared a smile and ordered dinner.
Both were unbelievably happy.
…
*Logan & Kendall*
"Thanks for bringing me home," Kendall said as he and Logan entered his house. "Ya know, I'm staying with Carlos and his family. I hope they don't mind you being here."
"I'm sure they won't," a voice said, making Kendall turn sharply to see Carlos' mom and Kendall's own sister Katie sitting on the couch; both were smirking at him. But then Carlos' mom caught sight of Kendall's face.
"Kendall! What happened to you?" she asked, rushing to him and prodding at his eye. He winced at her, making her scowl in worry.
"Mrs. Garcia, I'm fine," he said, giving her a strained smile. "This is Logan. He-"
"Oh! Katie!" Mrs. Garcia said quickly, turning from Kendall. "Would you like to go to the grocery store with me?"
"Uhh… sure," Katie said, getting up and punching her brother on the arm. "We'll see you two later."
"Logan, would you like to stay for dinner? Carlos told me he would be occupied, so we have a spare seat."
"I would, but I'm sure my parents are expecting me."
"Well maybe another time then. You two have fun."
Kendall watched them go and smiled at Logan.
"Wanna maybe… watch a movie?"
"I'd love to."
…
Kendall was in bliss.
He was cuddled against Logan's side as a they watched a movie in the Garcia's living room.
And he knew right then, when Logan kissed the top of his head, that this was better than any flashy first date could've been.
…
*James & Carlos*
Carlos and James were holding hands.
And Carlos felt like the luckiest guy on the planet.
He flinched as the movie flashed brightly, hurting his eyes.
But then James squeezed his hand reassuringly, and Carlos felt himself relax.
He was happy.
…
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Tell me that wasn't just a little adorable!
Yay for Kogan and Jarlos! Too cute!
