Ch. 7: Big Time First Date (Part 1)

"Hey guys, we're home!" Mama Knight called out to the four boys while hanging her coat on a hook by the door. Katie was too busy playing videogames to even say hello to the guys.

Meanwhile, Kendall was pacing endlessly in his and James' room. He was already dressed up with a black tux and a red tie, his hair the only unaltered part of his appearance for he'd refused to let James touch it to "smooth it out".

"Kendall, love, calm down," James said, trying to soothe his boyfriend. He was sitting on his bed, hot as hell because the clothes were really warm and the apartment's air conditioner had broken was wearing a blue tux with a matching tie and his hair was, as always, perfect. He also smelled strongly of Cuda man-spray, a smell which Kendall found, didn't bother him as much as he thought it would.

"How can I calm down, James? What if she doesn't accept us? What if she doesn't accept me? God, what if she thinks I'm a freak and-"

"Kendall, will you shut up and listen to yourself ranting?" James said "She was cool with Carlos and Logan being gay and dating, she was cool with me being bisexual, how can you be any different?"

"It IS different," Kendall argued.

"In what way?" James said.

"Because I'm her son," Kendall said pointedly. James had to admit that Kendall actually had a valid point. No way he was ever going to admit that out loud though.

"Still...she'll be cool with it, you'll see..." he said encouragingly.

Kendall sighed, nervous.

"Let's go down, shall we?" he said, taking James' hand and giving it a squeeze.

"If you're ready..." James said and the two boys went down in the yellow swirly slide, one after the other.

"Hey boys," Mama Knight said, smiling brightly at them as soon as she saw them and giving them both a hug.

"Hey," James and Kendall replied at the same time.

"You guys had fun yesterday while we were away? Did you get into any trouble?" Mama Knight asked.

"No mom," Kendall replied before sighing. He saw to his right that Carlos and Logan were already sitting down at the table, shooting him encouraging looks. He also felt James squeeze his hand in silent support, before quickly letting it go before it became too obvious.

"What is it, honey?" Mama Knight asked, noticing her son's worried expression.

"I-I have something to tell you, mom," Kendall said "And you might want to sit down for this..."

"Okay..." Mama Knight said suspiciously, sitting down "What's this all about Kendall? I assume this is serious or else you wouldn't be acting this way, or wearing formal clothes, all of you, now that I think about it..."

"It-it is," Kendall replied, clearing his throat, where a knot seemed to have formed to prevent him from speaking.

Katie looked up from her video game, obviously not wanting to miss some big piece of news that concerned her family.

Kendall sighed once more before beginning.

"Mom," he said "You know how recently I've-I've had both Jo and Lucy wanting to be my girlfriends?"

Mama Knight only nodded.

"Well," Kendall said "I-I chose today mom, but it wasn't any of them..."

"Well then, who was she?" Mama Knight asked and Kendall winced at the she, cringing internally at the way his mother had automatically assumed it was a female.

"I-It's not a she mom," he said, his voice barely above a whisper "It's a he. I-I think I'm- I'm gay mom, or at least bisexual anyways..."

Mama Knight's eyes widened, she had NOT seen this coming.

She cleared her throat.

"Well, uh, that was unexpected," she said awkwardly "So, umm, when do I get to meet the young man? I mean, just because- because you're into guys doesn't mean I don't want to know who you're hanging out with and, and I also want to make sure you're being, you know, safe and all that..."

"R-Relax mom, you know him already he-he's-" Kendall stammered.

"He's...?" Katie asked, genuinely curious.

"I'm Kendall's boyfriend." James intervened when it became obvious that Kendall was too scared to keep talking.

"Oh," Mama Knight said, seeming surprised, then she cleared her throat once more and said "In that case, the two of you and I will have a serious discussion, but that can wait until after dinner, now, who's hungry?"

"Actually Mama Knight," Logan quickly intervened "We'd planned that, you know, since Kendall and James just got together, that we'd go out and celebrate, you know, have a nice dinner…a double date- to ourselves?"

Mama Knight sighed.

"Well alright," she allowed "But I want you all home before midnight, got it?"

"Got it," the four boys answered.

"And NO funny business while you're away…" Mama Knight warned.

"Yes Mama Knight," the four boys chorused, blushing.

Kendall then turned to his sister.

"Katie," he said "Are you okay with, you know, me and James…?" he asked.

Katie smiled and instead of answering him looked across from him towards James who was sitting on the opposite side of the kitchen counter, waiting for Kendall so they could go out.

"So you finally got the balls to make a move, did you?" she asked him.

James just smiled and nodded.

"Wait, you knew?" Kendall asked, shocked, before turning to James "You told her before you told me about your crush on me?"

"She sort of figured it out on her own, and then I did not deny it when she confronted me…" James said.

"What did you expect?" Katie asked with a laugh "I know you guys too well not to guess what's wrong with you…"

Logan checked his watch.

"Well guys, we better get going if we don't want to be late for our reservations…" he said.

The guys all nodded, then said goodbye to Mama Knight and Katie before exiting the apartment, hand in hand with their respective boyfriends.

"Who drives?" James asked.

"I'll do it," Kendall replied, already getting on the drivers' seat. The others just shrugged and went along with it.

On the way to the restaurant, the three members of BTR couldn't help noticing that their leader seemed kind of nervous.

James was the first to point it out, though.

"Babe, what's wrong?" he asked.

"N-nothing," Kendall said, his eyes never leaving the road, though his voice shook a bit, as if he were scared of something.

"Kendall, we're you're best friends- James is your boyfriend- you can tell us whatever's wrong with you…" Logan said.

Kendall sighed.

"I just feel so awkward, you know? You and Carlos have been going out a while, and James has had a thing with guys for a couple of years now whereas I? I'm completely new in all this…I don't know the proper way to act, the correct things to say, I'm feeling completely lost." Kendall said helplessly.

"Oh, Kendall," James said, giving his boyfriend's shoulder a squeeze "There is no correct way to act in all this, you just do whatever your heart tells you to,"

"He's right," Carlos said "Besides, we've all been there at one point or another. Ask Logan how awkward he was the first couple of times we went out…"

"Well, you WERE my first and only boyfriend!" Logan defended himself.

"That's right babe," Carlos said pulling Logan for a kiss, making the smart boy moan "And I intend on remaining your only boyfriend from now until forever…"

Logan didn't respond, he just resumed kissing Carlos while James smirked, watching them from the front, at his seat next to the drivers' seat.

"Guys, can you stop making it out in the back of my car? It's disgusting…" Kendall replied.

They both pulled away, dumb grins plastered on their faces.

"First of all, it's not your car, it's our car, Gustavo gave it to BTR for our needs. Second, you and James will be in our position one of these days and you won't want us interrupting, will you?" Logan said.

"Gustavo gave it to me, as you pointed out; I'm the leader of this group. Let's face it; Carlos would've crashed it by now, James would've plastered it with 'I'm Number 1' stickers and you'd have made some weird technological improvements on it if I'd allowed it…" Kendall said grinning.

None of the BTR boys contradicted him, though they seemed somewhat offended.

"And anyways," Kendall continued "If James and I are ever in you guys' position I'd daresay we wouldn't listen to you, even if you told us to stop, so you better pray that we're never tempted…"

James grinned.

"Hear hear!" he said, while the two shorter members made gagging faces at each other.

"No but, seriously guys," Kendall said, returning to his anxious mood "We're famous, someone from the restaurant could recognize us, call the press…what would all our fan girls say if they discovered we're all gay and dating each other?"

"Do you honestly think we'd be that obvious? C'mon Kendall, if we'd been that way then you guys would've found out about our little secret months ago! If James had been like that, we'd all have known he was bisexual years ago! Obviously we're not that dumb!" Logan exclaimed.

Carlos rolled his eyes and placed his hand on Logan's shoulder to quiet him down.

"What Logan means," Carlos said "Is that you have nothing to worry about, Kendall, just follow our example and nobody will notice a thing…"

Kendall turned to look at James who nodded at Carlos' words

With a sigh, he got out of the car, the other three boys all doing the same.

On the way to the restaurant, Kendall couldn't help but notice how Logan and Carlos kept their hands to their sides, or how James made no attempt whatsoever to take a hold of his hand, which was odd, seeing as he'd been practically holding on to his hand ever since Kendall had kissed him by the pool.

Once they arrived at the restaurant, Logan went ahead of the other three and told the girl at the entrance, who couldn't possibly be more than seventeen

"A table for four, please,"

The girl's eyes widened as she saw who she had in front of her.

"Oh my God!" she squealed "Y-you're Big Time Rush! Oh my God! I love you guys so, so much! I saw your world-tour it was just so, so AMAZING!" she kept saying.

"Why, thank you," Logan said, smiling gallantly, and at that moment Kendall found it pretty hard to believe that that same Logan had been making out with Carlos in his car not 20 minutes ago. That same Logan who was now, obviously flirting with the girl in front of him.

The girl led them quickly to a table in a more secluded area of the restaurant at their request and after briefly asking them for their autographs (which they gave her, of course) and handing them their menus, she left.

Once she'd left, Kendall felt James grab his hand from under the table, invisible to all eyes.

Bewildered, he looked up at James who just smiled and winked at him.

"So, what are we going to order?" he asked the other two who looked at their menus, all the while acting as though they weren't holding their hands under the table as well.

"I'll take some spaghetti in meatball sauce," Logan said.

"Ooh, I'll go for some pepperoni pizza!" Carlos said excitedly, making all the other BTR members roll their eyes.

"We come to the fanciest restaurant of the city and he orders pizza…" Logan said incredulously.

"Hey! It's the BEST pizza around here!" Carlos defended himself.

"I'll take some raviolis in tomato sauce," James said, ignoring Carlos' last comment entirely.

"Umm…I'll order the same as Logan," Kendall replied.

Soon enough, a waiter arrived and they repeated their order for him, all of them agreeing to take a large pitcher of coke to share among themselves.

Soon enough, the waiter brought their food in.

Kendall noticed everything around him, amazed at how well he and his friends could pull off their act of normality.

While the waiter or anybody else was near them, they'd talk of normal band stuff and to anybody listening to them it'd seem as if they'd only gathered there to discuss their new album or else to let off some steam over their "jerk producer". However, as soon as they were alone, the subtle hints, the glances, the innuendos, began. They were subtle enough that nobody that wasn't paying close attention to them would notice but still, they were there.

There was also the fact that throughout the entire dinner, the four of them were holding hands with their respective boyfriends.

When their food arrived and the waiter had left Carlos looked to both sides to check that it was indeed safe to pull of his move.

Grabbing a fork, he got a little bit of Logan's spaghetti in it, and Logan, strangely, or so it seemed to Kendall, did not complain.

James watched them, with an entertained smirk, already knowing what was going on.

Soon enough, Kendall realized that Logan and Carlos had grabbed the same strand of spaghetti and that, as they continued to eat it, it was bringing their mouths closer and closer to one another. It ended when Carlos's mouth ended up pressed up against Logan's lips. It only lasted a few seconds, it was, after all, a very risky move, but it left them flustered and blushing nonetheless.

Deciding to take a page out of Carlos' book, James also grabbed some of Kendall's spaghetti. Already knowing what was going to happen, Kendall's cheeks turned slightly pink and he closed his eyes until he felt, briefly, James' lips on his own.

It was the only time they ever did that, that evening, they were afraid someone might see them after all, but it was enough to make Kendall wish for a second date because, although they'd had to hide it all evening, to keep it from looking like a date, it had still been the best date ever, or so Kendall thought, despite the fact of having to pay an exorbitant amount of money for the food they'd eaten afterwards...

A/N: And that's it. That's the first part. Liking it so far? Next chapter things begin to heat up for our Kames, until then,
