It took a little while to write and yea. Please tell me what you think! Your reviews mean so much to me so keep them coming! I love you all very much! Thanks for reading!

Carlos POV:

When I saw the shy brunette enter the office I was speechless. Those pictures definitely did not do him justice. He was much more gorgeous in person. Everything about him was just so perfect. I didn't even have to have a conversation with him to know that he was absolutely wonderful. I heard the door slam and then realized that we were both alone. This had been James' plan all along. Even though I was kind of pissed at him for tricking me I knew I wouldn't be able to stay mad. I knew he did this so I would have to talk to Logan and honestly as hyper and talkative as I usual was, I had no idea what to say to him. He didn't move at all unless you count the way his whole body was shaking. I hoped that he was shaking because of nerves and not because he thought I was intimidating or something. I gulped knowing that if I wanted this to work then one of us would have to say something eventually so I took the lead.

"H-hi. I'm Carlos."

Before he could answer I heard banging on the door. "NO SEX! I mean it!"

He blushed a bright shade of red and I couldn't help but laugh. That must have made him a little less nervous because he flashed me a smile and started to laugh as well. When we both stopped he slowly walked up to me and held out his hand.

I took it and he said, "I'm Logan. It's very nice to meet you."

I smiled, "It's nice to meet you too. I uh, I was going to call you but I got a little nervous…"

"It's ok. I wanted to call you too and Kendall kept pushing me to do so but I just couldn't make myself dial your number. I wish I would have though."

Now it was my turn to blush, "I ummm…yea, me too."

There was an awkward silence that filled the air and I really didn't know how to stop it. I hadn't been on a date in ages and even though I thought I was quite prepared I really wasn't at all.

Logan said, "Do you want to just sit and talk until our supervisors come back?"

We both laughed and I nodded, "What is with those two? They're pushing us to date but look at them. I don't know about Kendall but James hasn't dated in a while and I think he needs to get back out there."

"That's exactly the same for Kendall. He's so stubborn though. It's really hard to get him to talk about his feelings. That's how I know that James is good for him though. I don't know much about the guy but Kendall will actually tell me what he's feeling when it comes to James."

"Same here. James is afraid to ask him out though. He says he doesn't want to be used again."

He tilted his head to the side, "Again?"

I shrugged, "Well yea, he's an attractive guy and when guys see him they know what they want. Most of them only want him for sex and it's just been eating away at his confidence. He looks confident and acts confident but on the inside he just feels like he's a used up piece of trash."

Logan frowned, "That's really sad. Nobody should have to go through stuff like that. I can assure you that Kendall really likes him as a person though. He won't stop talking about how much he wants to be with him and blah blah blah."

I laughed, "I'll have to tell James that then. He would be more than happy to hear that. He's like obsessing over Kendall. All I hear now is Kendall this, Kendall that, I saw Kendall today!"

He chuckled, "I know exactly how you feel. It's terrible. But I'm glad that he found someone that will make him happy. Even if they aren't dating yet it's still cute."

"Yea. They would be cute together. Enough about them though. I want to know stuff about you. Like why you're at school, your favorite color, favorite dog…"

"Ok, well I'm here because I want to be a surgeon. My favorite color is red. And I don't have a favorite dog. I'm more of a cat person."

I gasped, "A cat person? Why?"

He laughed, "I like cats because they're cleaner and they like to cuddle."

"Dogs are clean and if I had one I would cuddle with her all of the time."

He put his hands up, "Ok. I surrender. I love dogs."

"Well you don't have to lie." I laughed and continued, "So you want to be a surgeon, huh?" He nodded. "That must be a lot of schooling and a lot of work."

"It's a little time consuming but I knew that before I even started college. I've wanted to go into that profession for a very long time and I've been mentally preparing myself for whatever happens."

"You must be really smart. I kind of wish that I had the attention span to do that. But I enjoy my job."

He chuckled, "Kendall tells me that I'm really smart but I don't know what really smart is. What do you do?"

"I'm an elementary school teacher. I did teach third grade but I wanted younger kids so I got moved to first grade last year."

"You like kids?"

I nodded, "So much. It's like the coolest job. Helping kids is just so rewarding. Maybe not as rewarding as being a surgeon but it still makes me feel good."

"Helping kids is just as rewarding as saving someone's life. You could make a big difference in their lives."

I smiled, "Thanks. I guess I never thought of it that way."

He smiled back, "Well maybe you just need someone to help you see things differently."

"Yea. I think I do. Would you uh, like to go out sometime?'

"I would absolutely love to."

I leaned over and gave him a hug. He's just so fricken cute! I can't even stand it!

We both got up and he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. "How about tonight?"

I nodded, "Tonight sounds wonderful. What time?"

He shrugged, "Around 6?"

"Alright. I'll pick you up at the dorms then."

We walked to the door and when we opened it we noticed that James and Kendall were nowhere in sight.

Logan sighed, "Where did he go now?"

"Maybe they went to get a coffee or something. James has an addiction to that stuff."

"So does Kendall. It's so unhealthy."

"I don't know what coffee tastes like. James doesn't let me drink it because he thinks I already have too much energy. It's so unfair."

He laughed, "Well maybe it's a good thing that he controls you then."

"He acts like a mom. It's ridiculous."

"You sound like Kendall. He tells me all of the time how much of a mom I am."

I smiled, "You can mom me any day."

He blushed, "Good to know. Let's go find them. I could use some fresh air."

"I agree. Let's go."

I grabbed his hand and lead him through the building in search for our best friends.

Logan POV:

As we were walking through campus to find our friends he was nothing but sweet. He held my hand the whole time and even though I normally wasn't a hand holder I actually liked it a lot. He was such a catch and I was extremely curious as to why he wanted to date me instead of someone else. It had been years since he dated because he was scared so why would he trust a complete stranger to hold his heart?

"You're adorable when you're thinking."

I looked over at him and he was smiling at me. "How did you know that I was thinking?"

He shrugged, "I can just tell. You get this cute look on your face and you act as if nothing else in the world exists."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

He chuckled, "Don't apologize for thinking. What were you thinking about though?"

I blushed, "It was nothing."

He poked my nose and smiled, "Oh, I'm sure it was something. James said that Kendall says you over analyze every little thing. So what are you over analyzing about me?"

"I uh, I was just curious as to why you would want to date me. Like why would you want to be with a complete stranger? How do you know that you can trust me?"

He laughed, "Honestly, I don't know. You just have something about you that makes me feel comfortable. I normally don't hold hands with strangers either."

I smiled, "Well neither do I but in your case I feel like I should make an exception."

"And why is that?"

"Well you're very sweet and you're also ridiculously attractive and I could see us maybe doing something like this quite often."

The corners of his mouth turned up into the most adorable smile I had ever seen, "You really mean that?"

I nodded, "I do. I really like this. And I haven't even thought about school once."

"I guess I'm doing a pretty good job of wooing you then."

I chuckled, "A very good job indeed."

He kissed me on the cheek, "You're pretty attractive yourself, you know."

I blushed, "I haven't got a compliment in a long time."

"That's hard to believe. You're a catch. Why do you think that?"

"I don't know. I guess I just don't get out much anymore. Well, since school started. And before that I was always with Kendall."

"Kendall didn't compliment you?"

I laughed, "Are you kidding? Kendall isn't really that type of guy. I mean he compliments people but when it comes to me he thinks it would be like hitting on his grandfather or something."

"Just because you compliment somebody doesn't mean that you're hitting on them though."

"I know. But Kendall is a complicated person. He has a lot of things that he hides from everyone. And even though I can normally see right through him I know there are some things that I have no idea that he's hiding."

"James is the same way. Maybe they can break each other. I would like him to start letting his emotions out a little more."

I sighed, "I completely agree. It's unhealthy to bottle everything up."

He agreed and when we got tired of walking for so long we sat on a bench next to the park. I started to shiver because the wind was certainly picking up and I didn't think that I would be out this long. I should have brought a jacket but I voted against it when I told myself that Kendall and I would just be going out for a quick walk. Carlos must have noticed the goose bumps on my arms because he took off his hoodie and set it around my shoulders.

"I can't take this from you. You must be cold as well. It's my fault that I wasn't prepared for the weather."

He smiled, "No, really. I insist. I wouldn't want you to be sick for our date tonight. My immune system is like a rock. I don't ever get sick."

"That's not true. Everyone gets sick at some points."

"One night in January during a blizzard James dared me to run around outside naked for 10 minutes. He let me wear shoes of course but it's not like that helped a lot. I didn't get sick at all. I was cold for a while but that was really it."

I shook my head, "Why would you even do that?"

"It was a double dog dare! You can't turn that down!"

I laughed, "Yes you can. All you have to do is say no."

"It's just not the right thing to do. When it comes down to dares I don't back down. I never say no. That's just the way it goes."

"If you say so. You must have been crazy when you were a child."

He shrugged, "James says that I still am crazy. What does he know?"

Before I could respond he jumped up off of the bench and grabbed my hand. "Let's go back to the office. We're never going to find them. For all we know they could have run off to Vegas to get hitched."

I laughed, "I honestly wouldn't doubt it. What Kendall wants, Kendall gets."

"Well then James is doomed because he is the worst at saying no. Especially if he really likes the person that he has to say no to."

"Poor James. He doesn't even stand a chance."

He shook his head, "Nope. He is completely head over heels for that boy."

We both laughed and started to walk back to the office. I knew that we were supposed to want our friends to come back because that was the main reason for leaving in the first place but honestly I didn't want them to be back for a while. I couldn't remember the last time someone made me so happy. I hadn't smiled or laughed that much in a long time and I was hoping that tonight's date would go well because I was pretty sure that he had already taken a piece of my heart.

Kendall POV:

When we returned to the office Logan and Carlos were there laughing and holding hands like the cute little couple that James and I knew they would be. It was a huge delight to find out that they had a date planned at the same time that James and I were going for a run. I knew when we got back to the dorms that Logan would be all frantic about what he was going to wear and where Carlos was going to be taking him. I was already planning his outfit for the night. Black skinny jeans, a graphic tee, and a blazer. Simple but not too simple, so if Carlos took him to a fancy place he wouldn't look trashy or anything. When it was around 4:00 we all decided that we needed to go back to our places and get ready for our night. James gave us a ride back to the dorms and Carlos planted a kiss on Logan's cheek before we got out of the car.

They are so fucking cute that I can't even stand it. Don't worry Kendall, you and James will be that cute in just a little bit. You'll have him sweeping you off your feet in no time.

We all waved our goodbyes before going inside and making our way back to our room. Right when we walked through the door Logan started freaking out about how much he liked Carlos and how he owed me and blah blah blah. Once he realized that he didn't know what he was going to wear he started running around and pacing back and forth.

After a few minutes I decided to intervene, "Logan!"

"What?! Can't you see that I'm busy?!"

I sighed, "Let me handle this, ok?"

He nodded, "Alright. Thanks Kendall. You've done so much for me. I really do owe you."

"Yea, yea. Just get in the shower and make yourself all clean and stuff."

He walked into the bathroom and I looked through his wardrobe to find the clothes that I thought he would look the best in. I went with the same clothes that I had decided on earlier and set them out on his bed.

Wow Kendall. Now you're going to be the mom? He really does owe you.

I sauntered over to my closet and pondered what to wear.

You could wear shorts. No, it'll be too cold out there for shorts. Well, fine. I was just trying to help. I know, I'm sorry. Umm…how about these Under Armor pants? Good choice. They're warm but they also don't make you look like an idiot. I think those are the pants that make your butt look good. Yea, I think they are. I smiled to myself and then grabbed the pants off of the hanger. Hmm…now for the shirt. I think you should wear your black Under Armor t-shirt and then put the wind breaker that you got from the hockey championships over it. Good thinking! That way when we get done running I can take my jacket off and he'll have to stare at my chest! Kendall, you're a genius!

"Are you having a conversation with yourself again?"

I rolled my eyes, "Logan, for the last time, it is none of your business what I do in my mind."

He laughed, "Yea, I thought you were. I can tell because when you do that you make all of these weird facial expressions."

I glared at him, "Shut up and put your damn clothes on."

"Alright, I'm just saying. I bet James notices it too."

"I don't do that around James."

Yes you do.

"There you go again." He laughed again and picked up the shirt from his bed. "Good clothing choice. Are you going to do this every time I go out on a date?"

"Uh, no. And stop being mean about my mind. That's how I cope with things." I looked over at my clock and said, "We have a half hour before 6:00. Are you going to be ok on this date? Don't freak out or anything, ok?"

He nodded, "I think I got this Kendall. He's really sweet and if I do something to embarrass myself he wouldn't make me feel bad about it."

"Ok, well good luck."

"You too."

I smiled, "Thanks. It's not like it's a date or anything but every moment counts, right?"

"Yes. So don't mess anything up. I want to be able to double date sometime."

I laughed, "Alright. I won't mess anything up."

"Good."

I got dressed and even though I found it completely unnecessary, I combed my hair. Before I knew it, it was time to head downstairs and meet up with James. He texted me when he got there and Carlos was right behind him. I hugged Logan goodbye and good luck before slipping into James' car and driving over to the park.

"Are you ready for this Knight?"

I chuckled, "It's not like we're running a marathon James. We're just going around the park."

He raised his eyebrow and asked, "Do you even know how big this park is?" I shook my head. "Well I run for 4 miles. I could go for the full 6 but I'm normally already exhausted from work."

"4 miles? I don't know if I can do that."

"I'm sure you can. Don't sell yourself short."

I shrugged, "I'm just saying that I haven't ran in quite a while and it may not go so well."

He patted my back, "I have faith in you Kendall."

I smiled, "Alright then, let's do this."

The first smile was easy stuff. I could run one mile in no time and it was fun running with James. He told me some more stuff about his life like how him and Carlos met and what he used to do when he was little. I didn't really expect him to tell me anything deep about his life but him telling me anything at all was a big thing for me. It made me happy just talking about random things that made him the person that he was now. I told him some things about Logan and I, like the things that we used to do for fun in elementary school and all of that. We laughed about all of the ridiculous things that we both used to do and I wished that one day I would be able to go to the places that he used to go to. I wanted him to show me around his hometown and let me meet the people that meant the most to him.

When we got around 3 miles into our run I really needed a break and even though I hated admitting that I just needed to stop for a little while.

"James, I-I think I ne-ed a break." My breathing was harsh and my legs were sore.

He chuckled, "Aww come on Knight. I know you can make it. We only have a little more than a mile left. You can't give up on me now. I'm your personal trainer. Remember?"

I nodded, "Yea, b-but I really don't feel so gr-"

Just then I collapsed onto the ground. I yelled out in pain as I clutched my knee that was now throbbing.

"Kendall!" James ran over to me and kneeled on the ground next to me. "Are you ok?!"

I wanted to make it sound ok but I knew my words came out broken, "Y-yea, I j-just need a br-break."

He shook his head, "Damn it. I should've listened to you. I'm so sorry. You're not ok. I can tell by the look on your face." He pulled out his cellphone, "Let me call an ambulance."

"No! No ambulances! I'm not going to the hospital!"

"I can't just let you lay here in pain."

By the time I processed what he was saying I couldn't respond. My body was trembling and my knee just felt like it was getting worse and worse. All I could do was shake my head and when I tried to get back up and straighten my knee out I tear rolled down my cheek. I winced at the pain that shot through my leg and fell back to the ground. Before I could hit the hard sidewalk James grabbed me.

"Listen Kendall, if you won't go to the hospital then I'm going to carry you. I'm not letting you get back up, ok? On the count of three I'll pick you up." I nodded to let him know that I understood and he started counting. "One."

Don't scream Kendall. Just stay strong.

"Two."

Just hold it in. This is going to hurt like a bitch.

"Three."

He lifted me up and it took all of my power not to scream out in pain. After a few moments of being in his arms I made myself go limp. It felt so nice to be against his body. My head was leaning on his chest and his arms were keeping me steady. He was trying carefully not to move me too much and I was so grateful.

Great, Kendall. You tell Logan not to mess up but here you are collapsing on the ground like an idiot and making your boyfriend- Not my boyfriend yet! – carry you through the park and back to his car. Ugh. What are we going to do with you?

"Are you alright?" He looked down at me with so much care and concern in his eyes that it made me want to cry. He was so damn perfect.

I quietly mumbled, "Trying to be…Thanks for this."

He chuckled, "Don't worry about it." His eyes got sad, "It's my fault anyways."

I shook my head, "No it's not. You didn't do this to me. I'm the one who told you that I could do it."

"I know but I wouldn't let you take a break."

"It's fine."

I looked over and realized that we were by the car already and he said, "I'm gonna have to move you a little bit, ok? I need to unlock the car."

I nodded and he slowly moved his hand to his pocket in search for the keys. Once the car was unlocked he opened the passenger door and gently set me down. He laid the seat back and went to the trunk to grab something. After a few moments he came back with a blanket and a pillow.

He shrugged, "Sometimes I sleep in my office if I'm too tired to drive home."

I laughed, "Oh, I thought it was because you liked to make your 'guests' comfy in the back seat."

He chuckled, "Aww, you caught me."

We both laughed and he propped my leg up before shutting the door and walking over to the driver's side. He got in and said, "Alright, so we're going to go to the pharmacy since you won't let me take you to the doctor. I'll grab some things from there that will hold you over until Logan gets a good look at you. And I will be calling him once Carlos gets home just to make sure you told him what happened."

I rolled my eyes, "Great. Now I have three moms looking after me."

"You could be seriously hurt Kendall. I'm really worried about that. And if you need me to drive you to class or anything then just let me know. I mean it."

I sighed, "Alright, whatever you say."

The ride to the pharmacy and back to the dorms was actually wonderful. I found out that at one point in his life he actually did want to be an actor or a model but gave up that dream a year after he graduated from high school. He said that it just wasn't the career for him. I thought that was bull shit but I didn't want to disagree with him. It was his life after all. We pulled up to the doors and he parked the car in front of the building. And even though I put up a fight he ended up carrying me and the bag from the pharmacy up to my room. I unlocked the door while I was still in his arms and he set me on my bed. It was an awkward moment when I tried to get him to let me wrap my knee up myself but he said no because I didn't really know how to properly do it. I had to take my pants off and I sat there in my boxers blushing because I felt so embarrassed. He did do a very good job of taking care of me though so I was eternally grateful to him.

"You guys made your room really homey. I like it a lot."

I smiled, "Thanks. We tried our best."

"If you don't mind me asking, where did you get all of this awesome stuff?"

"Logan's parents have a lot of money and they let us just buy whatever we wanted for our room. We decided to go big."

He laughed, "I see that. It looks like a Kendall kind of room."

"Yea, it's more me than it is Logan but he decorated it. It just has more things that I like."

"Way better than my room when I was a freshman."

I laughed, "Yea, four score and seven years ago."

"Don't make fun of the man that just carried you a mile and is healing your injured leg." He chuckled and even though I knew he wasn't serious it still made me feel bad. "I'm going to stay here until Logan gets home if that's ok. I don't want you to hurt yourself."

I nodded, "That's fine. The remote for the TV is right there on the table if you want it."

He moved over to the table and grabbed the remote before I patted the bed next to me and he sat down. We flipped through the channels and there really was nothing on. It's not like there normally was but it would be nice if we could find something.

"Oh look! American Horror Story! Do you like this show?"

"Are you kidding? This show is kick ass!"

He laughed, "You would like the most twisted show on television."

"Hey you like it too."

We watched TV for an hour and then Logan walked through the door. He waved awkwardly and looked really confused, "Uh, hi guys. What are you doing?"

"Duh, Logie. We're watching TV. What does it look like?"

James rolled his eyes, "Kendall hurt himself. He'll tell you about it. If he doesn't then call Carlos and give the phone to me. I'll explain everything. I hope your date went well. I have to get home so he doesn't freak out when I'm not there. I'll see you soon guys. Goodnight Kendall." He leaned down and softly kissed my hurt knee before walking out of the room.

I threw my head back onto my pillow, "God he's perfect!"

"So what happened?"

I explained to him everything that happened on the run and he scolded me for not going to the doctors. He said that we would be going as soon as we both could go and that I wouldn't be able to talk him out of it so I shouldn't even try. I just agreed and told him that I would go willingly as long as he took me out for ice cream after. He thought about it for a while but then finally realized that was the only way I would go without a fight so he said ok.

"How about your date? Where did you go?"

"Kendall, it was amazing! He took me to the Rainforest Café! How cute is that?"

I laughed, "Dude, you're so lucky. I want to go there."

"I know! The food was so yummy and he ordered us a volcano cake to share and he was just so romantic! We talked about like everything and I got to know him so much better! He went to a flower shop before he picked me up and he got me a huge bouquet of roses and he got me this teddy bear!" He held up a cute tan teddy bear that had a red heart stitched onto its chest. "We went on a walk after that and the sky was so clear and all of the stars were out. Then before we walked back to his car to go home he got down on one knee and held my hand and asked me to be his boyfriend! He was so cute about it and then when I said yes he kissed me and I swear it was the best kiss of my life!" He sighed happily, "He's just so amazing. I definitely owe you for making me go out with him. It was the best night ever!"

I smiled, "I'm glad you had so much fun. It's great that you guys are dating. You're really cute together."

He smiled back, "You really think so?"

"I know so."

"Thanks Kendall." He walked over to me and gave me a hug. "You're gonna have to take a shower. Are you going to need help?"

I shook my head, "Logan, that is never going to happen. I don't need help showering."

"I don't want you to fall."

"I'll be fine."

He sighed, "I'm helping you. Come on."

I knew I wouldn't win this time so I just gave up and he helped me out of my bed and into the shower. Before he let me go under the water he wrapped my bandaged knee in some plastic wrap because he thought that James wrapped it wonderfully. Apparently James was an expert bandager. We talked about all of the details of our nights and even though I thought it would be awkward to shower with Logan next to me it really wasn't all that bad. He was my best friend and I was glad that I had him around to watch over me. He helped me dry off and get into bed and before I closed my eyes I saw that I had a new message.

I grabbed my phone and it was from and unknown number:

Logan gave Los ur numbr just in case! I hope ur feelin better. Im srry for that. I had fun 2nite. Ill see u soon. Goodnight Kendall. –James.

Reading that made my heart melt and the one thing that made it even better was the heart that he put at the end.

Hmm…not sure how I feel about this chapter. Much longer than what I normally write though. I hope you guys liked it! I know I didn't put anything up this weekend but just as I promised I have one up tonight! Please review and all of that good stuff! I appreciate it! I love you guys!
