L is for Lobster
Kendall sighed as he sank into the couch. It had been two weeks since he and Logan had broken up. Logan hadn't been able to forgive the blonde, and Kendall missed him. He missed his touches and the way he held the blonde at night. He hated being so close to the brunette yet so far away.
Logan was avoiding Kendall at all costs. He had even moved into James and Carlos' room while James moved in with Kendall. He went out of his way to not be near the blonde and it was putting a strain on the band.
"I wish there was a way I could get him to forgive me," Kendall said.
"Dude you messed up big time," James said. Kendall turned and saw James and Carlos standing in the kitchen.
"You're talking to me now?" Kendall asked. Ever since he and Logan had broken up James and Carlos had been giving the blonde the silent treatment as well.
"Look Kendall, we don't agree with what you did, but you and Logan are made for each other," Carlos said walking over to the couch with James right behind him.
"I know I messed up big time and I've tried apologizing to him," Kendall said.
"Yon have to do more than apologize to him, you've got to basically show him that you're sorry and start all over, you've got to gain his trust back," James said.
"I don't know what to do," Kendall said.
"You've got to show him you're his lobster," Carlos said.
"What?" Kendall asked confused as he looked to James for help. James just put his hands up and shook his head.
"It's a known fact that lobsters mate for life," Carlos stated matter-of-factly. "In the tanks you can see old lobster mates together with their claws linked as they sit together. All you have to do is get him to realize he's your lobster," Carlos said linking his fingers together like lobster claws a smile on his face. "I mean if you don't make him realize you two could end up hating each other for the rest of your lives and he'll find someone who only make him kind of happy and he'll never be really happy ever again like he was when you guys were together and not only that but the band will split and you'll become depressed and bad things will happen, bad things Kendall," he said his smile long gone.
"He paints quite a picture doesn't he?" James asked looking at Kendall.
"Yeah ok, but how do I do that?" Kendall asked looking at Carlos almost scared of what the Latino was going to say next.
"I don't know," Carlos said, "I'm not the one who comes up with plans, that's your job," he said. Kendall rolled his eyes and looked away from Carlos.
-Lobsters-
Kendall sighed as he and Carlos were sitting at the pool together. James and Carlos had eased up on him a bit, and were hanging out with him again, much to Logan's dismay. Logan was currently sitting on the other side of the pool with James.
"James hates that we can't all just hang out anymore," Carlos said looking across the pool.
"I know, and I am sorry," Kendall said looking down at his lap.
"Dude I didn't mean it to sound that way," Carlos said.
"I know," Kendall said. He looked across the pool and saw some guy flirting with Logan. Kendall felt a wave of jealousy crash over him. Without thinking he stood up and walked over to Logan James. "Um, Logan," he said. Logan looked up at him confused. "Logan Mitchell? I mean I know your ad said you were good looking but wow," he said. Logan's look of confusion turned to one of anger.
"Excuse me," the guy next to Logan said.
"Oh I'm sorry is this the wrong day? I am so sorry, well if things work out we might have something to tell the grandchildren," Kendall said. The guy looked at Logan and then to Kendall before getting up and leaving.
"What the hell is your problem?" Logan asked jumping up from his chair.
"What, I was helping you, he was all wrong for you," Kendall said looking at Logan.
"Because you know what's good for me? You lost that right when you slept with that slut," Logan snapped.
"Logan please," Kendall said.
"No, we're over and that's all there is to it," Logan said staring to walk away.
"Logan wait please," Kendall said. Logan turned to look at Kendall. Kendall looked at Carlos and Carlos linked his fingers together like lobster claws. Kendall sighed and decided to give it a try.
"Kendall," Logan started.
"You're my lobster," Kendall said.
"What?" Logan asked confused.
"You're my lobster," Kendall said. "Lobsters mates you can see them in the tank with their claws linked," he said linking his claws together like Carlos had done.
"What?" Logan said confused.
"Carlos," Kendall said looking over at the Latino.
"Do the claw thing again," Carlos said holding his hands up like claws again. Kendall looked at Logan.
"I don't' have time for this," Logan said. He turned and walked away. Kendall sighed and fell onto Logan's abandoned chair.
"Smooth," James said.
"I thought you did it nicely," Carlos said walking over to the two.
"This isn't gonna work, he's never gonna give me a second chance," Kendall sighed.
"Just give him some time," James said.
"I fucked up," Kendall said.
-Lobsters-
Logan was sitting in the lobby. He had just left the pool because of Kendall being an idiot. People were giving him weird looks, but eh was used to it by now. Everyone knew about him and Kendall breaking up and the reason behind it.
"Logan."
Logan looked up to see the other blonde he was currently pissed at. He glared at her. She flinched and bit her lip.
"I need to talk to you," she said.
"Well I don't' want to talk to you," Logan said getting up from his spot. He started to walk away.
"We didn't sleep together," Jo said.
"What?" Logan asked rounding on Jo.
"I didn't sleep with Kendall, I wanted to but I didn't," Jo said, "I could never take advantage of him like that," she said.
"What do you mean you didn't sleep together? He told me you did," Logan said.
"He didn't remember and he jumped to a conclusion and ran out of the apartment before I woke up," Jo said looking down at the ground.
"What?" Logan asked confused.
"He showed up at my apartment drunk and I helped him, I let him stay at my place since he had said you were broken up. He was venting and I got him down to calm down and into bed. He tried to kiss me but I stopped him and we went to sleep. I can't believe he would think so low of me. I knew he still liked you," Jo said.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Logan asked.
"I honestly just got wind of the rumors since I've been working non-stop on my new movie and New Town High," Jo said.
"Thanks Jo," Logan said.
"Tell him he's an ass for me," Jo said.
"I will do more than that," Logan said looking out to the pool area. He saw Kendall talking to James and Carlos. "I'm even gonna let him squirm a bit longer to assume something so horrible of you," Logan said.
"Look Logan, I know we've never been that close, but I would never stoop that low," Jo said. Logan smiled and nodded his head.
"I know, and I am sorry," Logan said. He felt bad about the things he had said about her now.
-Lobsters-
The guys were sitting in 2J later that night. Things between Kendall hadn't changed much. Logan and Kendall were sitting on opposite ends of the couch with James and Carlos sitting in between them. Logan kept looking over at Kendall.
The door opened and Mrs. Knight walked into the room with a box in her arms. The four turned to look at her.
"What's that mom?" Kendall asked.
"A box I got in the mail from your grandma, she's was cleaning out her attics and found some stuff we might want," Mrs. Knight said.
"Like what?" Kendall asked.
"I have no idea," Mrs. Knight said, "stuff form you childhood with the guys," she said. The four jumped up and ran over to Mrs. Knight. They grabbed the box and started to go through it.
"My rocket I made back when we were eleven," Logan said, "how did she get this?" he asked.
"Carlos, Kendall, I might have borrowed it," James said.
"We may have set it off in her yard and broke a window," Carlos said.
"I need to get new friends," Logan sighed shaking his head. The four continued through the box.
"Look our first Pee Wee Hockey picture," Kendall said pulling the picture out of the box. The others huddle around him. They looked at the picture.
"There we are together," James said.
"Kendall, Logan, me, and James," Carlos said.
"Even then you two had to be by one another," James said causing the two to blush. Kendall looked at Logan who looked away from him. "What's this?" James asked pulling a DVD out of the box.
"She said she had someone transfer our home movies to a DVD," Mrs. Knight said.
"Let's watch them," Kendall said looking at his mother. She looked at her watch.
"You boys go ahead I have to go pick Katie up," Mrs. Knight said, "I'll have to watch them another time," she said. Kendall nodded his head. He brought the DVD into the living room and put it into the DVD player.
James, Carlos, and Logan sat down on the couch while Kendall stood off to the side. He started the DVD. The screen came on and four ten year olds appeared on screen. One was blonde, one was brunette with brown eyes, one was brunette with hazel eyes, and the last had raven hair with a helmet perched on top of his head.
"Mom do you have to?" the small blonde whined.
"Yes, now knock it off," a female voice said from off screen.
"Come on Kenny we're going to the zoo," the brown eyed brunette said to the blonde.
"Yeah it's gonna be fun," the boy with the helmet said.
"This is our fifth grade class trip to the zoo, where your mom was a chaperone," James said.
"We don't have to watch this," Kendall said moving to shut the DVD off.
"Yes we do," Carlos said. Kendall moved back behind the couch,
The four boys followed a group of kids into the zoo. They all shouted and pointed to their favorites.
"Look Logie, Giraffes," Kendall said to the small brunette.
"Cool," Logan said smiling. Kendall smiled proud that he had made Logan smile.
"Look guys zebras," James said pointing to the animals. The four moved to stand near the edge and Logan tripped and fell. He started to cry and hold his bloody knee. Kendall knelt down next him within a second. James and Carlos followed after with Mrs. Knight moving next to Logan to check out his knee.
"Mitchell's a sissy," a voice said. Chanting soon started with made Logan cry harder. Kendall looked over at the jerks that were making Logan cry.
"We really don't have to watch anymore," Kendall said.
"Leave it," James said.
"I'm not watching," Kendall said moving into the kitchen.
Kendall stood up and ran off camera and a shout was heard. The camera turned as Mrs. Knight turned and Kendall came back into frame and was hitting the kids that were just teasing Logan. He even kicked one before Mrs. Knight set the camera down. The camera was turned on Logan, James, and Carlos.
"Kendall Donald Knight," she said. She then proceeded to pull him away from the other kids. They all ran to the teacher and Mrs. Knight pushed Kendall over to Logan, James, and Carlos and went to go talk to the teacher.
"Kenny you're gonna get in trouble," Logan said.
"Yeah," James said nodding his head.
"So, they were being mean to you," Kendall said looking at Logan. "How's your knee?" he asked.
"It hurts," Logan said looking down at his bloody knee.
"You've gotten hurt worse on the ice," Carlos said.
"Well duh Carlos," James said knocking on Carlos' helmet twice. "Hockey is a brutal sport," he said.
"Has anyone ever noticed that we got hurt more on the ice when it was just the four of us?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah, that's cause we were rougher when there were no refs," James said.
"I know," little Logan said. Mrs. Knight returned with a band aid and napkins.
"Kendall, you have to stay by my side after that stunt you pulled," Mrs. Knight said.
"Ok mom," Kendall said. She then bandaged Logan's knee. Mrs. Knight then went to pick the camera up as Kendall helped Logan up.
"You ok?" Kendall asked.
"The class is moving," James said.
"Let's go," Carlos said. They both took off after the group not wanting to be left behind.
"I'm ok let's go," Logan said. Kendall leaned in and pecked Logan on the cheek. Logan blushed and the camera jerked as Mrs. Knight gasped shocked. "What was that for?" Logan asked.
"Kisses make everything better," Kendall said, "right mom?" he asked looking at the camera. Mrs. Knight just nodded her head.
"Let's go, the others are waiting for us," Mrs. Knight said. The two boys nodded and ran after the class.
Logan paused the movie and looked over at Kendall.
"I forgot all about that," Logan said. He stood up and looked at the blonde. He walked over to the kitchen and stopped in front of the blonde.
"Kisses make everything better," Kendall said swallowing the lump in his throat. Logan reached up and pulled Kendall down into a kiss.
"See he's his lobster," Carlos said happily linking his hands together once more. The two broke apart and looked at Carlos.
"Carlos come on," James said grabbing Carlos' arm. He stood up and pulled the Latino to their shared room where they could eavesdrop without being caught.
"Do you forgive me then?" Kendall asked.
"I talked to Jo," Logan said, "she told me something interesting," he said.
"What?" Kendall asked confused.
"You guys didn't sleep together you moron," Logan said slapping Kendall's arm.
"But I thought," Kendall started.
"Yes, she still likes you, but she would never sleep with someone drunk you ass," Logan said.
"I'm sorry, I freaked and assumed," Kendall said, "but I didn't cheat," he said.
"You did kiss her, but she stopped you," Logan said.
"I am so sorry," Kendall said.
"I forgive you," Logan said, "These last two weeks without you have been hell," he said looking up at the blonde.
"I know," Kendall said.
"Kisses do make everything better," Logan said as he pulled Kendall down into another kiss. Kendall grinned into the kiss silently agreeing with Logan.
"I love you my lobster," Kendall said.
"What the hell is that about?" Logan asked laughing.
"I can't explain it as good as Carlos can," Kendall said laughing as well.
"Lobsters mate for life," Carlos hollered from his room. Kendall and Logan looked at one another and laughed.
