When Logan woke up next he heard the sound of the Simpsons theme song playing. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around to find James, Kendall and Carlos in there make shifts beds, still in their PJs, eating god only knows what and watching the Simpsons intently.

"Hey Logie's up!" James grinned and suddenly he had three pairs of eyes on him.

"Um, goodmoring?" Logan said a little uncomfortable with everyone staring at him.

"Try good afternoon sleeping beauty," Carlos replied grinning madly.

"Afternoon?" He asked, slowly the events from last night and this morning flooded his head, as did a wave of nausea.

"Yep, Mama Knight said you were up around 4ish and then you feel asleep until now which is…"

"2pm." Kendall finished for James, "How are you feeling?"

Logan contemplated this and decided if he wanted to get any better he'd have to go with the truth, "Pretty bad."

Kendall smirked, "Mom! Logan's up!"

As soon as the words left Kendall's mouth Kelly entered the lounge room and studied the sick boy, "How are you feeling honey?"

Logan shrugged and glared at Kendall for getting his mother so quickly. Sure he loved Kelly as she was his own mom, but he did not love the attention she kept giving him. He felt as if he was putting her out. Kelly put the back of her hand on his forehead, "Your still warm, come on let's get you changed."

Kelly led Logan to the kitchen leaving the boys in the lounge room.

"When is he going to get better? I'm bored." Carlos stated as he threw some pop corn in his mouth. Since the boys had refused to leave Logan's side when he was this sick Kelly had suggested they watch a few movies with him and just lounge around for the next few days. She even provided them with snacks. The boys were very content with this, but they were also very active people not usually sitting still for long.

"Carlos it hasn't even been one day," Kendall laughed.

"I know, but I'm bored," He mumbled.

"Yea, well me too. And all this lounging around can't be good for us, or my complexion," James said concerned, "However, while Logan is sick we stay here," He finished.

"Yea," Kendall agreed, "We're not leaving him while his sick."

Carlos sighed, "I know. But I'm still bored."

"Well when Logan comes back he can entertain you," Kendall laughed and threw a Twinkie at him.

"No Logan will not be entertaining anyone, he's the sick one. You can all entertain him," Mrs. Knight laughed when she came back, Logan in tow. He had changed his clothes now into grey sweat pants and a black top.

Carlos thought for a moment, "Okay we'll entertain Logan. As long as it's something to do."

Kelly laughed and helped Logan back into the coach but not without protests from the small boy.

"I'm fine Mrs. Knight, you've done enough. Really." Logan blushed as she tried to tuck him in.

Kelly rolled her eyes, "Be quiet Logan you don't really get a say."

Logan blushed deeper at this and the boys snickered at their friend's discomfort, "I'll be right back with soup," She said and with that left.

Logan sighed, "You good Logie?" Kendall teased.

"Shut up Kendall. For this I blame you." He said.

"What? Why me?" Kendall asked.

"I don't know because she's your mother? And I can?" Logan suggested.

The boys laughed and Kelly entered with Logan's chicken soup.

"Okay here you go sweetie, eat it all. And you three be nice to him," She coddled and left a very embarrassed Logan to deal with his annoying best friends.

"Aww look, little Logie is Mama Knights' favorite. How cute," James teased while he and Kendall approached the coach.

Kendall went behind the coach leaning against it, James sat at the end near Logan's feet and Carlos stayed on his mattress but knelt up and faced his friend. Suddenly Logan felt very self conscious, sure he knew his friends were obviously just bored about being stuck inside and now that he was awake expected him to entertain them. But having them all just staring at him was becoming a bit weird.

"Do you three want something?" Logan asked while he slowly ate his soup.

"Well we're kinda bored," Carlos said.

"Well you guys don't have to stay here-" Logan started but was cut off by Kendall.

"Don't even start dude," He laughed.

"Yea, don't get on your high horse and say we don't have to be here. We are here, we will be here, and no matter how hard you try we are not going anywhere," James said.

"Yea no matter how bored we are your sick, so we stay here. Simple," Carlos smiled.

"So suck it up princess," Kendall teased.

Logan blushed but hid it by continuing to eat his soup. No matter what he said, he really did have the best friends ever. "Okay fine, thanks," Logan said awkwardly. He wasn't very good at expressing his feelings, but the three boys knew just by those three works (and the blush that formed on his face that Logan hid horribly) that he really meant it.

"Guys?" Carlos asked when it went quiet.

"Yea Carlos?" Logan responded.

"I'm still bored," He said.

The other three boys just laughed, ignoring the Latinos complaints. "Hey Kendall?" Logan asked.

"Yep?"

"Do not call me princess," He stated clearly.

The boys laughed, "You don't like princess Logie?" James teased.

Kendall was always thinking up stupid nick names for him and the others.

The boys loved each other like brothers, and they treated each other like brothers. Even though Logan happened to be the oldest of the four he did sometimes get picked on the most, teased in a good nature, brotherly banter type of way. Usually coming from Kendall and James, Carlos preferred not to get involved because he knew being the shortest, if he intervened they'd change targets to the shortest member of the group. Logan was also the one the boys looked after most; it was something none of the boy argued with, except Logan himself who was occasionally very embarrassed by it. However Logan put it down to the fact that being abnormally smart for a 15 year old and quite a small built, he was prone to bullying unlike the other three. So they usually protected him from that. So a stupid nickname or gentle teasing aimed at the boy was very normal.

"No I don't like princess, or Logie for that matter," Logan said.

"Hmmm yes," Kendall pretended to think.

"I happen to like princess," James said simply.

"Yea me too," Kendall smirked.

"There not gonna stop dude, you might wanna just give up," Carlos laughed.

Logan finished his soup and put his bowl to the side. He then sighed and laughed, "You guys suck, I need knew friends."

Kendall and James laughed, "You say that all the time. Its getting old Logie," James smirked.

Kendall grinned along with James and poked Logan in the side making him jump, "Hey!" Logan blushed, he really did need new friends, one who didn't know he was horribly ticklish.

"Well we're bored," Kendall said.

Logan groaned, "Well how about you don't do that and we watch a movie?"

"Jurassic Park 2!" James yelled excitedly.

Kendall laughed, "Okay calm down James," and with one last poke in Logan's side from Kendall, all the boys went back to their 'beds' and put on Jurassic Park.

20 minutes later.

"Hey Kendall," James nudged his best friend.

"What?" Kendall asked not taking his eyes off the TV. He would never admit to really enjoying a movie that James picked out but he couldn't deny that a movie about dinosaurs was really intriguing him.

"Look," James pointed to Logan.

Their best friend had already fallen asleep through the movie, he was lying down curled up into a small ball. Honestly he looked very cute.

Kendall laughed, "Carlos!" He whispered loudly.

"What?" Carlos asked sitting up and facing them, the boys pointed to their sleeping friend.

Carlos laughed but sighed, "He never sleeps this much, he never falls asleep first during a movie."

James agreed, "I think the colds just really getting to him."

Kendall agreed, "I feel bad for him."

"He'll be fine. He's not throwing up any more, so he'll get better," Carlos said.

"Yea," Kendall agreed, "But while he is, I think we should take photographic evidence of this. He will never believe how adorable he looks," Kendall smirked.

James rolled his eyes, "You're so mean Kendall. Logan's sick and all you can think about is embarrassing him."

Kendall pouted, "fine."

"I didn't say don't do it," James grinned.

Kendall and Carlos laughed and they continued to watch the movie, but not before Kendall took a photo of Logan with his phone.

For the rest of the day the boys continued to watch movies, finishing the whole Jurassic park series and two out of three back to the future movies. Logan woke up occasionally during the movies. Only for Kendall and James to good naturedly tease, worry and mother him and then let him fall back to sleep. Mama Knight woke him up around dinner to medicate him and make him eat. But she told the boys not to wake Logan as he was recovering and he needed all the rest he could get in order to get better. Carlos had pouted when given this information however perked up when she said the more he slept, the faster he'd get better and the faster he could play hockey with them.

Later that night Kendall was the only conscious boy by the end of back to the future 2, so he turned the movie off at 11pm and went to sleep. However was woken up only hours later by a very strange noise.

Kendall looked around, it was still dark. He looked beside him to see James sound asleep and Carlos quietly muttering in his sleep. He checked his watch and it read 3:18am. Kendall groaned, why was he awake at 3:18am?

Suddenly he heard a noise, which resembled a lot like a sob. Who would be sobbing at this time? His questions were answered however when he looked to the side of him and found Logan sitting up, knees pulled to his chest and face hidden in them. Logan's whole body was slightly shaking and Kendall realized that sobs were coming from his best friend.

Kendall felt like an idiot for not realizing this sooner and quickly moved over to the shorter boy.

"Logan?" Kendall asked cautiously. Kendall had to take Logan crying carefully, as not to scare the boy away. It was a rare occasion Logan ever cried, or complained, or let walls down of any kind. He had learnt to block people out after the death of his mother and abandonment of his father. Kendall will never be able to forgive Logan's dad for what he's doing to the boy.

"Huh?" Logan asked startled by the realization that he was no longer along, "Kendall!" He quickly whipped away any tears that stained his face and put on the worst fake smile Kendall had ever seen the boy posses, and Kendall had seen a few. "What are you doing up?"

Kendall sighed and sat crossed legged in front of his friend who still had his arms wrapped around his legs. Even in the darkness Kendall could see the bloodshot eyes and sadness on Logan's face.

"Logan what's wrong?" Kendall asked placing a hand on Logan's knee trying to give comfort.

"Nothing," was all the reply he got.

"Come on Logan I'm not stupid,"

"Well sometimes…." Logan joked trying to lighten the mood and change the subject.

"Hey, I'm not as stupid as James and Carlos can be," Kendall smiled.

"You do go along with their idiotic plans, if you were smart you wouldn't."

"Only sometimes,"

The boys laughed and sat in comfortable silence for a moment, however Kendall knew Logan was just trying to distract him from the underlining issue here. He felt offended Logan thought he could get away that easily.

"Logan," Kendall sighed.

Logan looked down and fiddled with his t-shirt, "Kendall."

"Nobody is up at 3 in the morning crying for no reason Logie."

"I wasn't crying," Logan mumbled embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Kendall asked letting the 'crying' business slide for now.

Logan was silent for a moment, realizing that he couldn't lie to Kendall. One, he would never win, and two he didn't want to lie to his best friend. His best friend that had let him come and invade his home while he was infested with germs. His best friend that chose to get up at 3:30 in the morning pestering him until he got answers, instead of just going back to sleep.

"It's stupid," He whispered almost silently.

"I'm sure it's not," Kendall said gently, "It's not if it's got you this worked up."

Logan sighed, "Yea it is,"

"Logan," Kendall whined.

Logan looked up and decided winning was not an option with Kendall Knight. He really should have known that already. Considering the length of their friendship and how well he knew all the boys.

"Fine," Logan sighed defeated.

When he didn't continue Kendall pressed, "And…?"

"Ihadanightmare." Logan said so quickly and quietly Kendall almost missed it.

When his brain did have time to processes the jumbled words Kendall almost did laugh out loud. But of course stopped himself, knowing if he did Logan would not be impressed. However he didn't almost laugh because he thought Logan having a nightmare was funny. He thought, Logan thinking Kendall would judge him for having a nightmare was funny. Kendall had, had nightmares before. Sure he wasn't proud of them, but he knew if he were to tell any of his friends about them they wouldn't judge him. Carlos had nightmares very often when they were at sleepovers; sure they were just about losing his helmet or giant killer squids, which Kendall would never understand. But even then the boys never made fun of him for it.

"Okay, so you had a nightmare." Kendall said in his 'okay so now what' voice.

"You're not going to start making fun of me for it?" Logan asked pathetically.

Kendall was shocked by his reaction, "Your joking right?" However the look in Logan's eyes told him he wasn't. "We would never make fun of you for that Logan. Okay sure maybe we tease you a little bit sometimes, but we never actually mean it. You're our best friend, my best friends. We never mean anything that we say when we joke around. Oh my god do you think because we do that, that we'll make fun of you for this?" Kendall rambled, feeling extremely guilty.

Logan laughed slightly at his friend's mini freak out, "No of course not, I know when you guys do that it's because you're joking. You do it to everyone. And it makes me feel more a part of the group when you do," He mumbled the last part.

Kendall sighed relived, "Good because they say only real best friends can insult each other without getting offended. I mean I can make fun of how smart you are all the time. But if anyone besides me, James or Carlos did it, BAM! Man going down!"

Logan laughed at the emphasis Kendall put into the Bam. He knew he could always count on him.

"So then why are you so embarrassed about it?" Kendall asked.

Logan shrugged, "I donno."

Kendall laughed, "For someone so smart you can be so dumb."Kendall then decided that if Logan was going to be stubborn and stupid about the situation he was going to have to take matters into his own hands. He shifted his position and Logan's so he was lying against the coach and pulled Logan practically in his lap holding onto the smaller boy tightly offering comfort.

All four boys have been close. Something like hugging or being practically in each other's laps was not weird. Not as weird as it should be at least.

"Kendall what are you doing?" Logan asked slightly embarrassed but still got comfortable in Kendall's lap.

"Are your really going to be able to go back to sleep?" Kendall asked.

Logan sighed, "Probably not, but don't you think this is a bit 'minty'?"

Kendall laughed, "Maybe but I don't see you protesting." That statement just made Logan blush. "Now are you going to tell me why you were crying?"

Logan sighed and cuddled into Kendall's chest.

"It was about my dad."

Kendall just nodded and held his friend tighter, he could feel the small boy shivering and Kendall was unsure it was due to the illness or his father.

"It was just a dream about him and my mum. Her dying, sometimes I get those dreams. But I'm used to them. This one was him leaving, telling me how much of a disappointed I am. How he can't look at me because I remind him too much like mom. How he just stopped loving me suddenly. Just that kind of stuff. I was just really shaken up when I woke," Logan said.

Kendall nodded again, knowing that the boy wouldn't continue. Logan barely ever shared things like this, so for him to do that was major. Kendall wouldn't push it, "You know his wrong. His stupid for what he does. But I'm sure he still loves you."

"Maybe. I just miss him," Logan whispered. "I think sometimes he blames me for what happened to mom. That's why he doesn't love me anymore."

"It wasn't your fault," Kendall said.

"I know," Logan said. "I miss her too."

That made Kendall's heart almost break. The boy had lost his mother at 11 and then due to that fact had also lost his father.

"Its okay Logan. I won't let anyone hurt you. Me, James and Carlos are always going to be here. We won't ever leave you," Kendall said.

"Thanks Kendall."

"No problem Logie," Kendall smirked.

Logan rolled his eyes at the unwanted nick name, however ignored it because within moments was drifting to sleep. Because he knew when he had his friends around him he was loved and safe.
