"Will you please sit still!" He glared up at me and sighed.
"You know this wouldn't be in such a rush if you hadn't slept in."
"Fuck off." I ran the comb through his hair once more and sighed. "Okay, now let your hair dry and help me with my tie." He got up from the seat and we walked over to the small closet in the hotel room. "I really hope Carlos is doing okay."
"Why wouldn't he be?" I unzipped my pants and turned to him.
"Kendall came home last night pissed off because Carlos is a total wreck." James laughed and stepped out of his pants. I kicked off my jeans and grabbed the black pants.
"Yeah I know…I was so freaking grateful I got this room. He's been driving me nuts…but I love him for it." I laughed and took off my sweater and white under shirt.
We dressed our selves the rest of the time in silence. James stayed shirt less Not wanting to ruin his hair until it dried and he could handle it better. I stood still as he tightened the tie around my neck and I looked up at him. He had his tongue sticking slightly out so he could concentrate. He looked adorable.
"So no bow ties?" He smiled and shook his head. "Carlos?" He nodded and I nodded back putting my hands in my pockets. "James…I know I've told you this like a billion times already, but I'm really happy for you and Carlos." He stopped working on the tie and looked in my eyes. "I know we have had…a crazy roller coaster relationship but…" He cut me off by laughing and straightened the tie.
"Logan how many times do we have to have this discussion?" I sighed and looked down flattening the tie. "One of these days I'm going to be so tired of hearing you apologize for the craziest shit, I will knock you out." I punched his gut and turned away. I sat on the bed and pulled on my black socks as he put his shirt on.
"Are you nervous?" I looked up at him as he buttoned the shirt.
"No. Just…really happy." I smiled and looked down tying the shoe strings on the black and white Converse. When I was finished I watched him get the rest of himself ready until he was sitting next to me on the bed tying up his shoes. "Hey…did you ever think this was going to be us?" I turned to him quick and shrugged my shoulders. "That like…we could have gotten married? Had two kids? A minivan?" I laughed and looked down at my feet which were swinging hitting the bed.
"I think we could have. But then I think…maybe it's best that we didn't." I turned to him and he put his leg down both shoes now tied tight on his feet. "Because lets not kid ourselves James. With you and me, we were like a Volcano and an earthquake. It was just a toxic mix." He laughed and nodded. "And besides…Carlos was made for you."
"You think so?" I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tight.
"I know so James." His arms went around my waist and we sat like that, not saying anything, until there was a soft cough. We both pulled away and saw Kendall holding the door open waiting, foot tapping on the ground.
"Keep your hands to yourself buddy. You got your own guy to hug, whose waiting to marry you." I got up giving Kendall a death glare who smiled big at both James and I walking out.
We walked down into the lobby and James said hello to a few guest and I sneakily grabbed Kendall's hand as we walked into the ballroom where the ceremony and reception was taking place. We walked in, staying back as more and more people passed taking seats. It all seemed so surreal to me, that so many people were willing to celebrate two peoples love for each other no matter what their sex was. I glanced up at Kendall who was smiling warmly at people as they passed, still holding my hand. I opened my mouth to talk but stopped feeling someone touch my other arm. I turned and James was breathing out.
"I think we're ready." I nodded and turned quick kissing Kendall's cheek and letting go of his hand. He stepped out of the way and I put my arm out so James could hook his arm with mine. When he did I gave one last smile to Kendall and started walking James down the aisle.
I waited patiently standing behind James as we waited for Kendall and Carlos to appear. It seemed to be taking longer than usual and James glanced back with a questioning look and I shrugged my shoulders. We both looked to the entry way and watched Kendall quickly walk down the aisle, smiling but looking nervous. When he got to us, I walked to him and he grabbed my shoulders and leaned into my ear whispering.
"Carlos won't come out of the bathroom. He's in hysterics. He keeps saying he's scared." I sighed and nodded. I turned to James and smiled.
"Stay here. Both of you. I'll be right back." James opened his mouth to protest but I was already walking down the aisle heading out. Kendall was explaining we were just having a slight problem and not to worry. I ran out into the lobby and looked around until I found the men's bathroom. I ran over to it and tried pushing it open. I knocked and closed my eyes. "Carlos…can I come in?"
"Go away!" I sighed and put my forehead on the door. "I can't do it Logan. I'm…I'm not good enough for him."
"Why do you think that?" There was sniffling and a little bit of movement but the door remained closed.
"Because…he's…him. I'm just plain boring old Carlos."
"Do you really think if you were plain boring old Carlos he'd be with you?" It went quiet and then I heard footsteps. The locked clicked to eh side and I quickly opened the door stepping in. His eyes were red and puffy. His cheeks were a little red and there were tear marks on them. "Carlos…I've seen the way he is with you. I've…never seen James act like this. Like you and only you have complete control over him. He is literally doing everything you ask him and that's new for James. He loves you Carlos, more then you seem to know apparently. I know it's scary because you're so young but as long as you two have each other…you can literally conquer the world." He wiped his eyes and continued to look at me. "Today you'll be making a commitment to stay with him, love him, cherish him, protect him for the rest of your life." His eyes grew and I smiled grabbing his hands. "But guess what? He's making the same commitment. He's in this for the long haul that alone should give you some comfort." He looked down, a small smile on his face. "So…what do you say, we clean you up a bit cause you're a crying mess…" He laughed and let go of my hands wiping his face. "We'll go walk out there together, and you can get married to the man of your dreams and live the rest f your life, happily with him. How does that sound?" He nodded and smiled big at me.
I hooked my arm with his and we slowly walked down the aisle Carlos crying again seeing James. When we got to them, James pulled Carlos in for a hug and I took my original place behind James. Kendall was smiling big at me from the other side and I waved at him smiling just as big.
The ceremony went through, both James and Carlos saying vows they wrote themselves. I don't think Carlos stopped crying through the whole thing and it was making James cry. Kendall and I couldn't stop smiling and when I heard you may now kiss your groom, I felt a burst of happiness and energy run through my entire body. James pulled Carlos in for a long, sweet, romantic passionate kiss, and the people watching clapped and stood up smiling ear to ear.
Kendall and I sat next to each other at the front table while we waited for James and Carlos to come in. Kendall leaned over, kissed my ear and put a hand on my thigh.
"What did you say to him?" I smiled and sipped my Champagne. I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders.
"That is information on a need to know basis."
"I need to know." I laughed and shook my head. "Fine. Well whatever you did say you should het a medal. All Carlos did was yell at me." I laughed again and he rolled his eyes sipping from his glass of Champagne.
"I can't believe neither of their families came out." He nodded and put his glass down playing with a napkin holder. "They must be so heart broken." He shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know…they have plenty of people here who love them. And they have us. We should count as family especially after today." I smiled and watched him. He was watching the people laughing and smiling, sipping Champagne and making small talk. He was twirling the napkin Holder around his left pointer finger still smiling. I opened my mouth, to speak…no ask something when the doors opened and James and Carlos walked in, looking disheveled. James's once perfect hair was sticking up on one side a little, and Carlos's neck was a little red and slightly bruised. I smiled and both Kendall and I stood up hugging them both and letting them sit down.
Dinner went by slow all of us getting distracted with stories and laughter, not really paying much attention to the plate full of food in front of us. I was leaning into Kendall just like Carlos was leaning into James. We practically mirrored each other except something was missing on our part. I looked up at Kendall and he looked down smiling and chewing.
"Let's dance." He nodded and sipped his Champagne before standing up, excusing us, and dragging us out onto the already packed floor. We squeezed into the middle and I automatically wrapped around his torso putting my head on his shoulder, letting him lead. He grabbed my left hand held it up as the other wrapped around my back. He placed kisses all over my hair until he put his head on mine and sighed peacefully. "Hey Ken?"
"Yeah babe?" I squeezed my eyes shut and felt the little food I had eaten, turning in my stomach.
"I want to ask you something."
"Ask away my love." I had to smile hearing this. For the third time this night I opened my mouth to ask him and was once again interrupted. It was James and Carlos's first dance and everyone cleared the floor. I stood in front of Kendall. His arms holding mine, wrapped around my front, his chin on my shoulder. "What were you going to ask me?" I swallowed hard and smiled.
"Later." He chuckled and nodded. We watched James and Carlos dance around never taking their eyes off each other. They looked so in love, and so happy I couldn't take it anymore. I turned quick, startling Kendall and grabbed his hand, dragging him out.
I found a side door and pulled him out, letting the door shut quick behind us. I let his hand go and he was laughing.
"Okay…that was odd." I smiled and put my hand sin my pockets. "We're going to catch our death out here. It's freaking freezing. Couldn't we have talked inside?"
"Too many people and too many distractions." He stopped and went still.
"You're going to kill me aren't you?" I bust out laughing and shook my head. "Okay so then what could be so important you don't want to say in front of people?" He was giving me a delicious gorgeous smirk and I sighed hard.
"I love you." Now it was his turn to laugh. I raised an eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders.
"Uhm…duh? That isn't earth shattering news babe. I know you love me." I nodded and played with the small hard ring in my hand in my pocket. "Is there something else?" I looked down and saw the ground was clear of snow and I thought to myself over and over…now or never.
"I…I love you." He smirked and nodded. I dropped quick to one knee and his mouth fell open. I smiled and is hands fell to the sides. "I don't want to be without you Kendall. I can't see my life without you. I can't believe I went thirty years without you to begin with. Of course…when I was born you weren't yet…but that's not the point…wow it all of a sudden got hot out here." All of my bravery had left and I shook my head trying to clear it. "Will you marry me? Make me the happiest, luckiest, coolest guy in the entire world?" His mouth closed and he looked two seconds away from either crying or passing out. I pulled out the ring, and held it up. He covered his mouth with one hand and closed his eyes. "I love you Kendall Knight." He let out a gasp and put his hand down. He slowly opened his eyes and a smile started forming at his lips.
"Yes."
