Chapter 20: Skinny Dipping

"We should go SKINNY DIPPING!" Carlos beamed at his outburst while his friend gave him a blank look.

"Skinny dipping?" Logan repeated and the Latino nodded. "Really. How about no." Carlos pouted.

"Why not? It would be so much fun!"

"Um no. Especially if Bitters walked out and saw us in our naked glory. No." the smart boy leaned back into the couch he was laying on and sighed. He and Carlos were up because neither of them could sleep. Both were extremely tired, especially Logan, but they couldn't sleep. It was torturous.

"That would be the thrill of it!" his friend chirped before pouncing on him. A groan escaped Logan's mouth and he frowned.

"That Bitters would see our dicks?"

Carlos made a face. "No. That we could get cought!"

Logan nodded. "Yeah, and then Bitters would see our dicks."

Carlos pouted. "You're no fun."

The smart boy sighed. "Carlos, I'm tired and want to go to sleep."

"But you can't." the Latino boy pointed out.

"Gee, thank you Captain Obvious."

A sassy reply was making its way out of Carlos' mouth when a new voice jumped in. "What are you two doing up?" both boys on the couch looked up to see James standing there. He was wearing red basketball shorts with no shirt and his brown hair was everywhere. His hazel eyes showed just how sleepy he was but there was a bit confusion in them too.

Like why was Carlos on top of Logan on the orange couch in the living room at two in the morning?

"Can't sleep." the smart boy answered and Carlos pouted before resting his head on Logan's chest.

"Wanna go skinny dipping." he mumbled cutely and received an eye roll from the boy he was sitting on.

James raised a brow. "Did he just say he wanted to go skinny dipping?"

Logan nodded. "Yup."

"At two in the morning?" the brunette pushed and Logan nodded again.

"Yup."

"Even when Bitters could walk out any minute and see us and then possibly kicking us out?"

Logan clicked his tongue. "Yup, that would be it right there."

Carlos had been pouting throughtout the whole time of his friends questions and answers. But now the pout was gone when he heard James say, "Dude, that sounds awesome! Let's do it!"

Logan's mouth dropped open and then a groan of pain left his open mouth as the Latino jumped off of him and tackled their tall friend. "Yes yes yes!" he cheered before another voice cut in.

"Wow, did I miss a party or something?" the three boys turned to the door to the living room and saw a sleepy Kendall.

"No, just these two idiots being idiots." the smart boy said, indicating James and Carlos. The two just stuck their tongue out at him before rushing out to get some towels.

"What's happening at..." Kendall squinted to see the clock on the wall before turning back to Logan and say, "At 2:14 in the morning?"

Before Logan could speak, a heavy arm draped over Kendall's shoulder and he looked up to see a grinning James. "Skinny dipping."

Carlos appeared beside him with a matching grin. "That's what's up."

"That's what's happening?" the blonde questioned and his three friends replied with a 'Yup'.

"You in?" the pretty boy asked his friend, his arm still plopped on his shoulder.

"Yeah. Couldn't really sleep anyways."

"Same here." the brunette replied and Carlos nodded.

"We couldn't either." he gestured to a deeply frowning Logan. "Aww, lighten up Logie-pooh! Skinny dipping is going to be awesome!"

"No, it won't! Bitters or anyone for that matter could walk on out and see us! We'd be kicked out of Palm Woods! Not to mention that we would be naked!" Logan hissed that last part before flopping back down on the couch.

Kendall just grinned. "Come on Loganator. That's the whole risk of it. Getting caught or getting seen. It'll be fun. But not without you so hop on off and let's go."

"No." the smart boy replied stubbornly.

"Yes!" Carlos chirped and bounded over to him. He began to pull on the other's arm who immediately started protesting.

"No! Carlos, let go of me!"

"No! Come on or James is coming over here and I don't think you want that, hmm?" the Latino boy smirked at his friend's expression which was of panic and slight terror. "Yup. That's what I thought! Now, come on!"

"Guys, no! We can't!" the brunette whined and tugged his arm back.

"Only because you won't take this fun little risk with us." Kendall said and walked over. "Come on Logan. It'll be fun."

"Must I say it again? Because I will. What is going to be fun when Bitters walks out and sees us and kicks us out?"

Carlos and Kendall looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces. Then they looked back down at the small boy on the couch. While Carlos kept his eyes on Logan, the blonde beside him looked up at James and said, "James?"

The pretty boy smiled before making his way over to his friends who were now backing away so he could have room to do whatever he was going to do with a pale Logan.

"James! Put me down!" Logan hissed angrily as he hit his friend's back over and over again. His small body was thrown over a broad shoulder and he was carried out into the dark night. Carlos and Kendall were behind them snickering. "Guys, this isn't funny! Shut up!"

"Nah, it's pretty funny." Kendall said nodding. Carlos grinned.

The boys made it outside without getting stopped by anyone (which was a miracle since a certain book worm couldn't keep his mouth shut. It wasn't until Kendall pointed out to him that he was most likely going to get them all busted with his angry chattering and nonsense) and now they all stood by the edge of the pool.

"I'm so excited" Carlos chirped before chucking off his shirt.

"What about this one?" James asked about Logan though a smirk played at his lips. Kendall smirked back before taking off his shirt.

"I say you dump him."

Logan's head popped up from James' back. "Dump who? You better not be talking about me because I swear to go-" the rest of the smart boy's rant was cut off short as he went splashing into the cool water.

Carlos pouted. "I wanted to be the first one in!"

"You can be the first one naked in." the blonde boy reasoned and that brought a smile to the short boy's face.

"Okay!" as he got undressed, Logan's head surfaced and he was spluttering and shivering.

"Y-you idiots! I'm all w-wet now!"

James took his shirt off before working on his pants. "Yeah, that was the point, Logie."

"But my clothes are all wet too!"

Kendall tsked sadly. "Then you should have quit your whining and whatnot while you had the chance and just came with us like a normal human being."

Logan frowned. "There is NOTHING normal about you three."

"Oh, shut up and take your clothes off." James demanded. He turned to Kendall who was now down to his boxers. Feeling a bit devious, the pretty boy lifted his feathery light friend and threw him into the water without a second thought.

Kendall came up choking and shivering just like Logan. "James, you bitch!" he scolded and Carlos pouted once again.

"You guys said that I could be the one going in naked first!" he whined and James rolled his eyes.

"Kenny's not naked. You can still go."

"Okay!" the Latino chirped again happily before hurrying to get the rest of his clothes off. Once he was stark naked, he ran in with a happy cheer. Kendall, done being angry with James who decided that throwing his ass into freezing water was a good plan, laughed even though he was splashed. Then another big splash came and he watched with amusement as James swam up, his hair sticking to his forehead.

"Oh my gosh, this is amazing!" Carlos beamed as he swam around the extra large pool since it was just him and his 3 friends.

"It's freezing." Logan growled unhappily, his wet clothes making him drown a little with their extra weight.

Kendall rolled his eyes. "Lighten up, Mitchell."

"No! Do not not tell me to 'lighten up' because I for sure will not 'lighten up'! I just want to go to sleep-"

"But you couldn't." James interrupted with a sly smirk on his face. The smart boy huffed.

"I- I-"

"Logie, just take off your clothes and shut your whining mouth. Let go and have fun, yeah? Look at Carlos."

They did and Logan had to chuckle at the adorable Latino. He was prancing around, in a way, in the water, grinning and smiling and giggling and swimming all over the place. Sometimes he even went down underwater to do a handstand and his cute plump butt would be shown to the world.

"Fine." the shortest brunette gave in. "But! If we get cought-"

"We won't." Kendall promised as James swam beside him. "Now take dem clothes off!"

Logan did with a laugh. He threw his wet clothes over to the side of the pool before turning back to his friends. He broke out in a fit of laughter when he witnessed James dunking their blonde friend while Carlos came to the rescue and jumped on his head. Logan swam up to the wrestling boys before tugging Carlos off of a slightly choking James before dunking the smaller boy under the water. James, being free from his Latino friend, was beginning to swim towards Kendall again, but said boy beat him and jumped on his back.

While the guys were laughing and splashing each other, up in one of the apartments, a light was on and a girl with black and red hair had her cell phone out and was video taping the whole thing. Even though it was blurry, Lucy was still going to post it on the web.
