Chapter 24
Carlos came over an hour an a half later. Logan sighed in relief as he opened the door. Carlos shouted his happy greeting, kissing Kendall on the top of the head as usual.
"Damn, I had the best half hour of my life but my ass hurts like hell. James sure knows how to pound into my…"
"MUST everything you say involve sex?" Logan said irate.
"Logie, sex is my philosophy. You either go big or go home." Carlos winked.
Logan sighed grabbing his jacket. "Just please try not to say too much in front of Kendall. He's still…getting over the talk." Logan said opening the door. Carlos nodded.
"Will do my prude and partially innocent friend." Carlos said standing straight. Logan laughed before closing the door.
Kendall sighed. "Uncle Carlos…" he said before gasping. "You bought bubbles!" he shrieked grabbing the bag. Carlos laughed sitting back down.
Carlos took it back from him and led Kendall to the door. Kendall pulled his arm back.
"Uncle Carlos, I'm in my pajamas." Kendall said. "Logie never lets me go out in my pajamas."
"Logie is a bag of cement. You gotta live, kid. Now come on and let's test this bottle of bubbles shall we?" Carlos grinned and after a few minutes Kendall agreed.
Kendall sat on the cool grass. The leaves were starting to fall but the sun still blazed gently against their skin. Carlos opened the pack, blowing a long stream of bubbles. Kendall instantly stood up poking the bubbles.
"Close your eyes." Carlos commanded. Kendall nodded closing his eyes hugging his thin body. Carlos smiled at how cute he looked. His never ending grin remained on his face and he giggled when Carlos commented.
Carlos gently blew the bubbles and they floated over and tickled Kendall's face. Kendall giggled, opening his eyes. He blew the bubbles away from his face, laughing. Carlos continued to tickle Kendall's face with the bubbles until Kendall interrupted Carlos with a question.
"If the bubbles come out when you blow them, what happens when you suck in?" Kendall asked. Carlos shrugged.
"I'm not sure buddy. But let's try it out." Carlos said sucking in. the bubbles flew into his mouth. Carlos sputtered, spitting a line of bubbles out of his mouth. Kendall gaped at him and started laughing.
"Uncle Carlos bubbles are coming out of your mouth!" Kendall said giggling. Carlos coughed before spitting. Kendall shrieked.
"EW that's gross Uncle Carlos!" he said still smiling. Carlos weakly smiled.
"Now you know what happens." Carlos said wryly. Kendall nodded.
"You don't have to do it again, let's get water or something." Kendall suggested already sprinting to the house. Carlos laughed before following.
"Hey kid, have you had breakfast yet?" Carlos asked taking out bread, peanut butter and jelly while Kendall sat at the table watching.
"No, Logie woke up really late so I didn't get any." Kendall said. "But it's past twelve…its lunch time silly!" he said laughing at Carlos's error.
Carlos nodded. "Nice going smart guy." He said ruffling Kendall's hair. Kendall grinned proudly.
"Logie taught me because whenever it was lunch or dinner time I used to call it breakfast." Kendall said. "Logie's really smart, Uncle Carlos." Kendall said. "He even knows if I take a cookie or two before dinner when he's turned around."
Carlos nodded smiling. "Yeah in school he got all A's and if he got a B he would flip out." Carlos said laughing. He recalled a time when eight year old Logan showed up at his doorstep pressing a report card in his face. He showed him the B in terror and yelled at Carlos about how he talked to him too much in class. Logan wouldn't as much as glance at Carlos for the rest of the month.
Kendall grinned. "I like learning stuff." He commented. Carlos nodded. "That's good for you, Kendall. Never get upset if someone corrects you." He advised. Kendall nodded.
He handed Kendall his sandwich and Kendall started to eat it while Carlos put away the ingredients. When Carlos sat down Kendall was almost halfway there. Carlos shook his head. He must've been really hungry. When Kendall set down his sandwich to take a sip of his drink, Carlos took the opportunity to wipe his face. Kendall groaned.
"I hate being clean!" he whined. Carlos laughed. "Yeah well I'm a neat freak, deal with it." Kendall smiled.
Carlos got a text from James and he growled. "This kinky…" he looked up at Kendall who was noticing him and stopped, smirking sheepishly.
Kendall nodded as if he understood and finished the rest of his sandwich, making a glop of jelly fall on his white t-shirt. He sighed in annoyance.
"How does Logie manage to keep so clean and I always get dirty?" Kendall pouted. Carlos giggled at him.
"Logie is super careful." Carlos commented wiping his face once more. "Now come on you gotta change." Kendall got up and skipped to the room. He sat on the bed looking around. He smiled when he saw a picture of Logan smiling happily. He kissed the picture before putting it down. Carlos dug through the clothes in the drawer not even paying attention that he was making a mess.
He found a good shirt, and when he went to go take Kendall's shirt off for him, Kendall hugged his body and shook his head slowly.
"What's the matter, bud?" Carlos asked straightening himself out.
"Logie said not to let anybody see me without any decent clothes on." Kendall said.
"Kendall, I saw you shirtless the first time I met you. Plus I'm a close friend now come on, I have to pre-treat that stain." Kendall nodded before taking off his shirt.
Carlos saw that Kendall didn't appear to have gained any weight but he looked healthier than the first time he saw him. His stomach was flat with his ribs protruding slightly when he inhaled. Kendall blushed when he noticed Carlos' intense stare. He hugged his body.
"Uncle Carlos…" he said sounding like a bug.
"Oh Kendall…I'm so sorry I didn't mean to stare for so long I know how that makes you feel." Carlos apologized, quickly slipping the shirt on Kendall. Kendall sighed, grabbing onto Carlos' hand as he stood up.
"Its okay, Uncle Carlos." Kendall said routinely. "Where did Logie go anyway and why couldn't I come?" Kendall asked boredly. He knew that sometimes Logan had to settle adult things like bills and those could take hours.
"He had to do a couple of things for his…dad." Carlos said. He knew how Logan hated speaking of his dad.
"I thought Logie and his dad weren't friends?" Kendall said cocking his head to the side.
"They aren't but his dad is a little…sick." Carlos said. Kendall nodded.
"I wish I knew where my momma and my dad were." He said sadly.
"I bet they do too." Carlos said sitting on the couch with Kendall. Kendall wiped a loose tear. "Do you think they're looking for me?" Kendall asked.
"With all their heart." Carlos replied instantly. "But let's think about happier things, I'm sure Logie will explain everything later." Carlos said. Kendall nodded, not willing.
"Let's paint!" Carlos suddenly said sitting up. Kendall quickly agreed. He loved painting with Carlos since none of the paint ever got on the paper.
Carlos went in the kitchen and found the paint on the highest shelf since Logan hated the paint. He still kept it for Kendall in case he got restless.
Carlos got two pieces of paper and sat on the table with Kendall. He got a plastic bowl and filled it with a little water. He gave Kendall a brush and they began peacefully.
Carlos began to hum softly and Kendall's head perked up when he recognized the tune as the one Logan sung to him at night.
"That's what Logie sings to me at night!" he said, happy that he remembered. Carlos stopped humming, looking up.
"That's nice." He said smiling. Kendall nodded. He suddenly felt something cold and wet brush against his nose. Carlos looked up startled to a giggling Kendall.
"You look good in blue…" he said unable to finish his sentence. Carlos smirked.
"You look really good in green, Kendall." Carlos said slapping the paint against his cheek. He got up, ready to run as Kendall sped after him.
As Carlos was running he tripped, knocking over a vase that had Logan's favorite flower painted on it. Kendall gasped, stopping in his place.
"Ooh Uncle Carlos you're in trouble." Kendall mockingly teased. Carlos stuck his tongue out, picking up the vase.
"No…as long as you have glue." He said looking desperately at Kendall. Kendall rushed into the bed room. When he came back he held Elmer's school glue in his hand. Carlos nodded frantically.
"Come over here quick before I have to suffer the wrath of Logan!" Carlos said. Kendall sloppily ran over. He gave the glue to Carlos who quickly tried to open it. He twisted the orange cap and hit it several times.
"Open up you damn thing!" he yelled at it. Kendall grabbed it.
"Here, lemme try." He said, unknowing that Carlos had already opened it. He struck it unaware of Carlos' shrieks.
"Uncle Carlos use your indoor voice, I don't even know what you're trying to say!" Kendall said looking up. He opened his mouth in shock. Carlos was dripping with white glue. He tried to wipe it off but his hand got hopelessly stuck.
Kendall dropped to his knees trying to fit the pieces together with Carlos. He glued every one he saw that fit together. Carlos clunk every piece together making sure that they would fit.
After five minutes, Carlos got a text. Kendall stopped to watch Carlos' face. Carlos muttered. "Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit." He said. "Logan's gonna be here in ten minutes!" he squeaked in panic.
Kendall kept on a look of concentration. "Don't worry, if you worry, you'll be sloppy." He said sticking out his tongue deep in thought. But Carlos did worry, clunking pieces together even faster.
Kendall neatly glued pieces together. Until he got a glop of glue on his hand. He sighed in annoyance. He wiped it on his shoulder and Carlos winced as he wiped his face on it. But he still kept working diligently. Carlos did the same and in a few minutes they were half way done.
(TIME SKIP) Carlos heard the keys jingle and Logan's voice.
"Hey guys I'm home!" he said his voice sounded tired, on edge. Carlos had a mini spasm attack and Kendall frantically tried to fit the last of the pieces.
"Oh my….Carlos Garcia and Kendall!" Logan said. They both looked up to an angry Logan tapping his foot.
"Were you guys running in the house?" he asked not losing his glare.
Carlos and Kendall put their head down, like a puppy. "Yes, Logie." They both said.
"What did I tell you about doing so?" Logan asked still tapping while he tsked.
"Running leads to mess and mess means that Logie has to clean it." They recited. Logan nodded. "On the couch." He commanded. Kendall and Carlos stood up and sat on the couch. Logan stared. "You both have time out for ten minutes." He said. Kendall and Carlos gave him and odd look but it was better than anything else.
Logan disappeared and reappeared with a wash cloth and two shirts. "You are both sticky." He said shaking his head. He began on Carlos washing the paint and glue off his face. He threw a new shirt to Carlos. Carlos put it on and he began on Kendall. When he finished Kendall changed his shirt as well.
"Now you both sit and think about what you've done." Logan said.
But ten minutes later when Logan came back he shook his head and smiled at the sight. Kendall was lying on Carlos' shoulder sleeping while Carlos snored loudly with an arm wrapped around Kendall.
"Those nut balls." Logan said grabbing a small blanket and draping it over them.
A/N please review I thought this was super cute!
