So sorry for not uploading yesterday guys. I wish I had some awesome excuse, but the truth is that my friend has been here since 7 am yesterday and I just totally and completely forgot. Hopefully, this chapter will be worth the wait though.
Anyways, I'm done talking so enjoy this chapter! (:

One day isn't enough to get
done all that you must-but it's
a pretty good place to start

"Come on Gustavo!" Kendall pleads into the phone. "One more day off isn't going to kill us."
"NO!" The blonde winces and pulls the phone away from his ear as the producer yells loud enough to be heard clearly throughout the apartment. "You've had nearly two weeks off! That's enough! I don't care if you and Logan are still sick, you need to get down here and get some things done!"
"But I've got something really important to do!"
"Then do it after you've come and worked on harmonies!"
The phone goes silent, the producer having hung up on him, and Kendall sighs. "Well that went well."
"Couldn't get the day off?" James asks, walking into the kitchen and grabbing a juice box.
"No." Kendall frowns. "This is my one chance to try and show Logan that he doesn't need to run away from all this "him and me" stuff. How am I supposed to do that if we're going to be stuck at the studio all day?"
The pretty boy shrugs. "I'm sure you'll think of something."
"Something that's not going to get us killed, hopefully."
Both boys turn as a new voice enters the fray and find Logan walking out of the bathroom, freshly showered with only a towel hanging dangerously low on his hips. He makes a spectacle of hiding behind James and peeking over the taller boy's shoulder at the otherwise empty apartment. "You're mom and Katie aren't around are they?"
The towel slips a little lower with his movements and Kendall licks his lips, not so subtly giving his best friend the once over.
"You're all good, buddy." James chuckles. "They went out shopping."
The genius lets out an exaggerated sigh of relief. "That's good. At least the one day I forget my clothes," he turns and gives Kendall a wink as he says this, "the only girls in the house aren't around to be scarred for life."
And with the reassurance that Mama Knight and Katie are absent, the bookworm continues on his journey to the bedroom, leaving Kendall and James alone again.
"You know," James says with a smirk, "I don't think he forgot anything."
Kendall grins, eyes still lingering on where Logan had been a few moments before. "I don't think so either, James."

"Okay!" Gustavo cries, as the boys finish recording their newest song. "That wasn't terrible. In fact, it was pretty good."
All four boys grin at the praise and Kendall puts an arm around Logan, pulling the smaller boy close. The brunette beams up at him before quickly turning his smile to Gustavo who is still talking.
"Since you went the whole morning without making me want to kill you," He grins, "go spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying yourselves."
"Seriously?" Carlos asks, his eyes lighting up.
"Yes, seriously. I've got to do some editing work on the song and you dogs will be more of a distraction than a help. So go."
The four boys cheer and race out of Rocque Records. It's rare they get an afternoon off; even more so considering it's the first time they've been back in the studio in thirteen days. But Kendall's not going to question his good fortune. He just grabs Logan's hand and drags him towards the Big Time Rush Mobile.
"Would you guys mind taking a cab home," The blonde pleads, clasping his hands together as he regards James and Carlos.
The other two boys laugh, not used to seeing their leader beg for anything. "Sure." Carlos smiles. "You guys go have fun."
"And be ready for an epic Battle Blast marathon when you get home!" James calls cheerily as he and Carlos make their way to the street to catch a cab.
As soon as they're out of sight, the blonde turns to Logan smiling widely. "Ready?"
Logan nods, grinning and moving towards the driver's seat, even though all four boys have their license, he's usually the one that drives because he's the least likely to get them killed. "Not today, Logie." Kendall pulls the genius back around to the passenger side, opening the door for him and everything. "I'm driving today."
"Why?" The brunette questions, "Is what we're doing supposed to be a surprise?"
The blonde shakes his head. "Nope." He gets into the car and starts it, pulling out into the L.A. traffic. "We're going to the boardwalk. But today, I'm taking you out. So I'll be driving you. It's the gentlemanly thing to do."
Logan laughs and Kendall smiles at the sound. "Fair enough."
"So are you ready for what might possibly be the greatest day of your life." The genius just laughs again. "I'm serious!" The blonde insists. "I'm going to give you such an amazing day out that you'll have no choice but to recognize that one day isn't enough."
The genius falls silent at that and Kendall takes a moment to glance over at his best friend. His brows are furrowed and he's got his thinking face on so Kendall reaches over and grabs his hand, intertwining their fingers. "Hey, no thinking okay? Today is about feeling. And the last thing I need is you over thinking your feelings."
Logan scoffs, looking mildly insulted. "I don't do that!"
Kendall gives him a pointed look and he grins. "Okay, okay. No thinking. Just feeling."

They spend the day on the Boardwalk, getting lunch, watching all the tourists, holding hands and just generally enjoying one another's company. It amazes Kendall, how easy it is for he and brunette to transition from best friends to something more. He thinks about Logan winking at him earlier and can't figure out why the other boy was so scared of this. It seems like, now that he's embracing it, he's never been more confident.
They play videogames with James and Carlos until it's time for bed and the entire time they do, Logan keeps shoot him flirty looks, sufficiently distracting him from the game. That may have been mostly a ploy so that the genius could win a few rounds though. But when they finally get ready for bed, when Kendall collapses in his bed and Logan climbs in next to him…
Well there's no other reason for the brunette to do that other than he wants too.
Which thrills Kendall.
"You know," The shorter boy says as Kendall wraps his arms around him, pulling him close, "we haven't sung all day."
"Duh." Kendall rolls his eyes playfully. "That's because we were too busy having the greatest day ever."
Logan chuckles, giving the blonde a dimply smile. "I guess that must be it."
The taller boy grins and he knows that, finally, it's the right time to talk to Logan. Kendall's got –his eyes slide over to the clock- two hours before today is officially up and there are things he needs to tell Logan, things that the brunette needs to understand. Like why it always seemed to hurt so badly whenever the other boy tried to pull away or why he's always felt this need to have Logan in his life.
"Hey Logie?"
"Maybe this could be the line that starts the whole story…"
Kendall blinks in surprise because he honestly had not expected Logan to start singing. And of course, if Logan is singing…
"I know that I should wait."
"But what if you're my soul mate?"
And then Kendall's face is inching closer to Logan's. Time seems to stop as he gets closer to the smaller boy. They aren't singing anymore, but Kendall is moving at what feels like an agonizing slow pace and he can't figure out why. This is all he's wanted for six days and he can't bring himself to finally do it.
It isn't until Logan leans forward, closing the distance between them and capturing Kendall's lips with his, that the blonde realizes he was just waiting for Logan to make the final move.
Was just waiting to make sure that the brunette felt the same way –wanted this as badly- as Kendall did.
And the pull in Kendall's chest, the one he's always associated with Logan, stops. It's still there; the blonde has a sneaking suspicion it will always be there. But for the first time it's not tugging at him, not urging him to go somewhere or do something. It just exists, making Kendall feel like he's connected to Logan in a way that's bigger than anything he's ever felt before.
And he can see it in the genius' eyes when they break apart. Logan feels it too.
Of course, I think you all know who the song in this chapter belongs to (:
