Guys, just hang on a second here. Vampires are strong. Human skulls are weak in comparison. So basically when Kendall hit Carlos with the pan, it like bashed his skull in, then the second time basically demolished it. That's what I was going for, I guess it wasn't clear, sorry for the inconvenience. :D

"Wow- you really did bash his head in," James smirked as he and Logan entered the bedroom. Carlos was sprawled out on the bed, the pillow soaked with blood.

"I feel horrible," Kendall said sadly, James putting an arm over his shoulders comfortingly. "But he was hurting so bad…"

"You did the right thing, bud," James assured. Logan approached the body slowly, peering at something… He peeled back Carlos' t-shirt and jumped when he saw the bite mark.

It wasn't just two holes like any other circumstance.

No, there were two holes plus about a two-inch radius around them of dark bruising, almost black colored.

Logan was confused… If Kendall had bitten hard enough to bruise, there would be other punctures where his other teeth dug in. It was unusual for this to happen- even if the victim strained as they were bitten, it was only a slight bruise as a result. THIS looked like Carlos' flesh was rotting and maybe he had been hit with a truck.

"What the hell is that?" James asked, hurrying to the bed to stare. Kendall followed close behind, eyes wide.

Logan's eyes lifted to Kendall for answers.

"When I bit him, it made him relax, but only for a few seconds," Kendall said, staring at the horrible discoloration interrupting his boyfriend's beautiful skin. "Then he started screaming again- I could tell he was in agony. Maybe even worse than the headaches."

"That is not normal," Logan said in alarm. "The venom is meant to soothe the victim to sleep."

"He sure as hell wasn't going to sleep without my help," Kendall grumbled. "What do you think about it, Dr. Logan?"

Logan looked down again and touched the spot, Carlos' skin getting cold. He shook his head with a shrug.

"Personally I think that perhaps since he was in pain when it happened, he was straining his neck too hard and that is why it bruised."

"I got a Penicillin shot in my ass cheek when I was a teenager and it bruised like a mother fucker cause I clenched and I wasn't supposed to," James said casually.

"I do not think it will affect him, but I suppose we will see very soon," Logan said.

"It affected me pretty good- couldn't sit right for a week."

"James," Logan retorted. "I meant Carlos."

"Ooooh. Okay. Yeah."

Kendall changed out the pillow from Carlos' head, noting that Carlos' skull was whole again, yet he was still dead.

He spent all night sitting on the bed beside Carlos, on his computer, waiting for him to wake up.

When he didn't, Kendall figured, okay, it's just taking a little longer for him.

Soon James came in, hurrying.

"Is he awake?" he asked excitedly, entering the room, expecting Carlos sitting up to greet him. But he was still dead, Kendall sitting beside him casually.

"He didn't wake up?"

"Nope," Kendall said, not taking his eyes from the screen. He was Googling things like "allergic reaction to vampire venom". There were a few things saying that some people's bodies rejected venom and made it very painful. Some people have even died from this, but most were turned.

Logan soon came in, not saying anything, only moving to the corpse to inspect the bite which had turned black.

"Google says that this happens to some people- their bodies reject the venom and some of them die."

"Do not worry about that," Logan said sternly. "He will wake up soon. He must."

James took the computer from his creation and closed it, Kendall sighing and rubbing his eyes.

"C'mon, bud, you're getting in the shower," James sang, pulling Kendall up. "You have to look tuff for when he DOES finally decide to get up."

Kendall allowed himself to be pulled to the bathroom, James starting the shower and closing the door.

"Seriously, dude, don't worry," James said seriously, tugging Kendall's shirt over his head and tossing it to the ground. "He needs extra time to fix up his fucked brain and nerves and shit."

"He should be awake by now," Kendall said worriedly.

"Are you gonna undress yourself, or do I gotta do it?"

"I need to be there when he wakes up."

"You need to take a shower is what you need."

James yanked down Kendall's PJ pants and boxers.

"JAMES!"

"You weren't doing it yourself," James said smartly, pulling Kendall to the shower. "It's not like I haven't seen a peter before."

Kendall blushed deeply and stepped into the hot shower.

"Besides- it's like I'm your old lady or something. Like I gave BIRTH to you or something," James smirked. "I can see or do whatever I want."

"Is that why Logan can see you naked?"

"That, and when he sees me naked I get to see him naked," James smirked, putting a fresh towel on the toilet tank. "I'm going!"

James stepped out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom to find Logan feeling the back of Carlos' head for any sign that it was still broken. It wasn't.

"You seem to forget that I hear everything," Logan said simply, gently sitting Carlos' head down and crossing his arms at James. James smirked and approached, pulling Logan's hips to his.

"It wasn't a big thing. It's not like he was any bigger than you."

Logan blushed a little and James smirked.

"You're way sexier in your birthday suit," James whispered, bending to bite Logan's lip, his fangs pressed against Logan's skin. "I like my men's chests smooth and toned. His was a little hairy."

"Why is it that every time I try to pick a fight with you, you end up seducing me?" Logan giggled, kissing James.

"Do you think I'm sexier as a human or vampire?"

"It's been so long… I hardly remember you as a human," Logan said thoughtfully. "But you are definitely sexy now."

"Mmm… I know," James smirked.

"I know you know."

Logan liked to hope that the raging stiffy James had that he pressed up against Logan's pubic bone now was from their little make out session, and not from seeing Kendall naked.

Kendall entered the room quietly with a towel around his waist only a few minutes later.

"Um, could you not fuck over my boyfriend's corpse, please?" Kendall interrupted. Logan's head snapped his way, blushed but not regretful, and James pinched his chin and kissed his cheek before pealing himself away.

Logan wasn't sure what to tell Kendall that night when Carlos was still out. Kendall was in a panic, James soothing him like a mother.

That was exactly what it looked like- a mother soothing her child. Kendall was curled up against the wall in the bedroom, crying gently in panic. James was sitting beside him, an arm around his shoulders, murmuring comforting things to him and wiping his tears.

Eventually Logan left.

"I'll stay here with you if you want," James offered.

"Please?"

"Okay. But don't panic, bud. I'm telling you- Carlos can't DIE. He's Carlos, for Lord's sake."

Kendall sniffled and turned his head to look at James, surprised when James didn't move his face and their noses almost touched. He looked up into comforting hazel eyes.

These men were feeling two different things.

James felt concern. His best friend was crying, and it was in his nature to make him feel better. The closeness of their faces only meant that Kendall could see the strength in his eyes better and be able to draw from it.

Kendall also felt concern. Concern that he was imagining James just tilting his head and kissing him. Concerned that he waited for every one of James' exhales so that Kendall could smell his sweet AB positive breath. But yet, Kendall felt no romantic LOVE for James. Love, yes, like a creation feels for his maker. And yes, lust, because, well, James was sexy as hell and extremely touchy-feely. Kendall's heart was devoted to Carlos, but Jesus he would love to get his hands on James.

James did kiss him. His lifted his face and pressed a long, warm kiss on Kendall's forehead.

"I don't ask you to fight your feelings, man," James said quietly, eyes on Kendall's again, face close. "It's completely natural- I'm your maker. But I just want you to make sure Logan or Carlos never finds out about it. Kay?"

Kendall was dumbfounded- how did James know? And why was he okay with it?

"I know you're wondering if I feel things for you, too, and I don't. Don't take that wrong- I love you as a friend and as a creation, but I belong to Logie. All of me," James said sternly. "If he found out that you wanna bend me over a table and fuck my brains out, I dunno what he would do. And Carlos- when he wakes up, he can't ever know. Ever. He's too sweet. I can tell you love him and you don't WANT to feel for me, but nobody needs to know."

Kendall nodded again and James smiled a little before hauling himself up.

"How'd you know?" Kendall asked, looking up at him.

"I've been married to my creator for years and years and years and somehow I still love him to death. I know what it's like. I didn't wanna fall for him- he was some stuck-up, pristine old dude with nice dimples. But I had to. I know what's going on in your head and there's no fighting it. But I'm faithful and I know you are, too," James said simply.

"I wouldn't hurt my Carlos."

"Good. Then I won't have to ever have to get my Logie out for your blood," James said in mock cheerfulness. "Nice talk. Now, B positive or O?"

"O," Kendall answered, and James nodded and disappeared.

Guys, calm down, if you don't ship Kames in this story, let's all just take a deep breath and accept that they both agreed that they're faithful and James said that he isn't afraid to sick his Logie on Kendall if he makes a move.
