*A note to all my guest reviewers (meaning, those of you who don't sign in to review) for some reason I've noticed fanfic has been omiting certain anonymous reviews so, if I were you and I didn't have an account or just didn't want to sign in, I'd send my review several times just to make sure it's actually entered. I have NO idea why fanfic does this...*

Okay, moving on, here's next chapter! ENJOY!

Cheers,

Ch. 12: Big Time Make Up

Kendall entered apartment 2J and slammed the door behind him.

He went up to his and James' room and threw himself on his bed, just lying there, feeling miserable for what seemed like a lifetime until he heard the door to the apartment open and close. His stomach tightening into a knot, he went out of the room hesitantly, thinking James had come to the apartment already.

To his slight disappointment, he found it had only been Carlos and Logan coming back from the movies.

"Hey Kendall," Logan greeted his friend, his back turned to him while he hanged his coat in the nearby hanger.

"Hey," Kendall answered back half heartedly.

"How was your picnic with James?" Carlos asked teasingly "Did you guys go all fluffy with each other?"

"Far from it," Kendall said bitterly.

Logan noticed his friend's mood.

"What happened Kendall?" he asked, concerned, waving his hand to silence his boyfriend who'd been about to interrupt, sending him a look that indicated that this was serious.

Briefly, Kendall told his friends about his and James' most recent fight.

"That's absurd!" Logan replied after Kendall had finished recounting the incident "You guys have been going out for what- two weeks? How can he expect you to know if you love him or not after such a short time? It took months before I admitted it to Carlos!"

"Still," Carlos said softly "James has a point, don't get me wrong Logie, Kendall, I know you guys aren't very comfortable with the fact you like dudes as well as girls but…James and I've loved you guys for so long, I said I loved you almost from the very beginning, remember? That was one of the reasons our first dates were so awkward…"

"No kidding," Logan replied "But you never got angry when I didn't say I loved you back,"

"Because I'm not like James," Carlos replied "He has a way of dealing with it, and I have my own way, but still, I know how heartbroken he must feel right now. My heart always broke into a million pieces every time you disregarded my statements…I can see how James would feel the same way,"

"So it would just be better if I lied to him?" Kendall replied with a scoff "Pretend to love him while in reality not sure of what it is I really feel for him?"

"What DO you feel for him?" Logan inquired.

Kendall sighed.

"I don't know," he said "All of my life I've always wanted to make James happy, because seeing him happy made me happy, and I've always taken care of him and supported him but…I always assumed that it was because he was my best friend- because that's what best friends are for right? I mean, I'd do the same things I mentioned for you two guys as well…" Kendall said.

Carlos and Logan both nodded, encouraging Kendall to continue.

"But then, he kissed me and it all got so confusing," Kendall said with a sigh "At first I thought that it was just because I didn't want him to hurt, because I've always sought to protect him, you know? Because he's always been like a brother to me? So I thought the reason I didn't just flat out reject him was because I did not want to cause him pain. But then I started seeing him with other- guys- and also girls- and I, I don't know, I got jealous. I didn't want any of them close to James; I wanted James to always be there with me, not somebody else. Then, all these weeks…what James and I've been doing, I won't lie, it's been great, not to mention very pleasurable but-I just don't know if that's love guys or just simple fear of letting go of my best friend…" Kendall finally finished.

"So figure it out," Logan replied.

"How?" Kendall asked.

Logan shrugged.

"You'll know man, you'll just know, and when you're ready you can tell James you love him, or don't…" he said.

"And meanwhile what should I do? Lie to him? I don't want him to leave me….but I'm not comfortable with the idea of lying to him either," Kendall said.

"Then don't lie to me," said a voice from behind.

The guys all gasped and turned around to see James standing behind them, arms crossed, his left eyebrow raised.

"J-James!" Kendall exclaimed "How-why? How much did you listen?"

"Enough, I think, to get the general idea of your problem," James said with a sigh "Listen Kendall, I'm sorry okay? I pushed you too hard and too fast into something you weren't ready for, can you forgive me?"

"There's nothing to forgive," Kendall said immediately "I'm your boyfriend. You have every right to want to know whether I love you or not. Trouble is, I don't even know myself…"

"I know that," James replied "So let's figure it out shall we? Together."

Kendall smiled.

"I like the sound of that," he said.

"And Kendall?" James added.

"Yeah?" Kendall said.

"I-I'm sorry for, for trying to convince you to have sex with me…" James said, blushing a bit "You're right, we should totally wait until you're ready. I don't want you to regret your first time-with me- after all…"

"Thanks," Kendall replied "That really means a lot to me,"

"Ugh, guys?" Carlos said, raising his hand as if he were in school "We're still here you know? And I think that was WAY more information than Logan or I should know…"

This, of course, made the other three laugh, effectively ending the tension.

"So," James asked, later that night, while the four of them lay curled in the orange couch with their boyfriends, watching CSI Miami.

Kendall who was lying on James' lap turned to look at his boyfriend in the eye.

"Yeah James?" he asked.

"I was thinking," James said, biting his lower lip.

"Oh, that's never a good thing," Kendall teased.

"Oh shut up you!" James said, hitting Kendall's face with a cushion softly "Listen! Like I was saying…since I totally screwed up our third date, would you mind going on another with me tomorrow afternoon? I'll take care of everything, don't worry, you just have to show up…"

"Sure, that sounds nice," Kendall replied.

James smiled and leaned down to kiss his boyfriend on the lips.

"Guys gross, if you're going to make out, go to your room…" Carlos complained.

"That actually sounds like a good idea," said James, raising his eyebrows suggestively at Kendall who got the hint, grinned sexily up at his boyfriend and got up, taking James' hand, leading them both to their room where James gave Kendall another mind-blowing blow-job which Kendall returned not too long afterwards, their screams of pleasure a constant annoyance for Carlos and Logan for the rest of that night…
