Chapter Five

Logan was in his building's laundry room, doing both his and James' laundry. James had whined and whined and whined about how he was too busy with work and fucking Chick-Fil-A girl to do his laundry. Logan had refused at first, but then James promised to actually make dinner. And James was an excellent cook. He watched the Food Network all the time and owned dozens of cookbooks. He usually used his skills to impress the ladies, but would sometimes treat Logan. So that's why Logan was putting James' underwear into a washer Tuesday evening.

Logan looked up when someone walked in. It was Jett. "Thank god," Logan said. "I hate when it's one of our friendly neighbors who wanna chit chat the whole time and bond or some shit."

Jett snorted and put some quarters in for a washer. "Or that chick from the fifth floor who insists on hitting on you?"

Logan laughed. "Oh yeah. Or the old dude from the fourth floor that hates gays."

"So I smelled food from your apartment," Jett said, changing the subject. "You or James have a hot date?"

"Nah." Logan put some clothes into a dryer. "James bribed me with food so I'd do his laundry. You can come over if you want. I'm sure there will be plenty of leftovers."

"I'll think about it," Jett said. "So... eyebrow dude had a kid?"

Logan sighed. "Yeah. He does."

"And you're seriously gonna keep dating him? A guy with some annoying brat?"

Logan turned around to look at Jett. "Mattie's not an annoying brat. He's a good kid. Smart too. Kendall's doing an amazing job with him."

"Is that the only reason you like the guy? Because he's a 'good dad?'"

"No," Logan said. "I like Kendall because he's funny and sweet, we get along well, he's an amazing kisser, and the best sex I ever had was with him in my car at that party."

"You know, I thought you were too good to fuck random dudes anymore."

"Kendall's not some random dude," Logan insisted. "You know I've been hoping to get with him since I first saw him. That night at the party was like a fucking dream come true. So can you please stop trying to put me and him down because you're jealous?"

"I am not jealous," Jett snapped.

"Oh please! When I introduced you to him the other day, I could fell the hate radiating off your body."

"You're delusional! How could anyone want him though? He's too skinny, in dire need of an eyebrow plucking, and has an abnormally large nose."

"Shut up. Kendall's fucking gorgeous," Logan told Jett.

"You could totally do so much better than him, Logan."

"And who's better?" Logan asked. "Hmm? You?"

"Maybe..." Jett said quietly.

Logan took a deep breath. "I like being your friend, Jett. Meeting you really helped me come out of my shell."

"But you only want to be friends."

"Yeah."

"Why? I'm hot, OK. And charming. And-"

"Full of yourself," Logan said with a laugh. "I always admired your confidence. But... we don't click that way, Jett."

Jett scoffed. "We totally do! I could barely hold a conversation with most of my fucks. I know it was the same with you. You always bitched about it. You and I talk just fine. We have fun together. And I don't have a kid to distract me from you."

"We have fun because we work as friends," Logan said softly. "We can talk because we've been friends for a few years. Jett... I just can't see myself in a romantic relationship with you. And I know we want different things."

"Because I don't want a big gay wedding and a bunch of kids? I'm sorry I don't want such a typical, boring life."

"Jett, you want a main guy who will let you occasionally fuck other guys."

"I'm not a fan of monogamy," Jett said, crossing his arms.

"Well, I am!"

"What happened to you? You used to be just as into getting laid as I am."

"You know how I was before," Logan reminded him. "Shy, insecure. Then I met someone—you—who tells me that I'm hot and all that. You introduced me to other guys who felt the same. I wasn't used to having guys throw themselves at me. I took advantage of and enjoyed guys wanting me. But i've grown up, Jett. I want more than sex. I want a relationship. Someone I can come home to. Someone who's fine with cuddling—before sex, after sex, no sex. I want love."

Jett rolled his eyes. "Love isn't real."

"Yet another reason why we won't work." The washing machine Logan was using buzzed.

The two did the rest of their laundry in silence.

…

"I don't know why you're nervous," James said. He was laying on Logan's bed, flipping through a magazine. "You've been on dates with him before."

"Only two," Logan said, putting on his tie. "And both times Mattie was there."

"So? Though that was a smart move, getting him to like you through his kid."

Logan groaned. "That wasn't a move. Mattie was genuinely upset. And that kid's so adorable, it breaks your heart to see him cry. I offered to bring him along so he'd be happy. And I didn't want the date to get canceled."

James laughed. "Purely selfish reasons to bring the kid along then."

Logan put on a vest. He had been told to dress nicely, but had no clue where they'd be going. "Maybe a little. But it turns out he's a cool kid. Which is why I invited them over while you were out fucking Chick-Fil-A girl."

"Dude. After she's done works, she smells like the chicken."

"Oh my god. Do you sniff her while you do her?"

"Yes!" James said, unashamed. "Then I'm so hungry after, she goes and gets me free nuggets."

Logan laughed. "You're so fucking weird." He turned away from his mirror. "If you were gay, would you be impressed?"

James sat up and looked Logan over. "If I were gay, I'd rip your clothes off and do you right now."

Logan smiled, glad he had a best friend who wasn't weirded out by his sexual orientation. "Excellent."

"You hoping to get laid?"

"Maybe," Logan said with a shrug. "But it's not like he can sleep over or anything."

"Why?"

"I promised Mattie I would ask him first if Kendall could spend the night. And I'm not gonna ask yet. It's important to gain Mattie;s trust."

"Who are you trying to impress?" James asked. "Kendall or the kid?"

"Both. Kendall because I want him. Mattie because it's important that he likes who his dad is dating. I don't want him thinking I'm trying to steal Kendall away. And I want Kendall to know that I understand Mattie is more important. It's less complicated than it sounds."

"Uh-huh. Sure." Their buzzer sounded. "Ooh. Your date's here."

Logan ran out of the room. He went to the door and hit the little button by it. "Yes?"

"It's Kendall."

Logan buzzed him in. Then he looked through the peephole, waiting for Kendall to arrive.

He heard James laugh behind him. "Spazz."

"Shut your mouth. Hey. Will you be home later?"

"I'll be out with Chick-Fil-A girl. Don't fuck in the kitchen. Or on the couch."

"I'm limited to my bedroom?"

"And the bathroom," James said. "I don't fuck anyone all over this place."

"Shh!" Logan saw a shadow coming down the hall. Soon, Kendall appeared at the door. He watched Kendall take a deep breath before knocking. Logan stepped back, counted to three, and opened the door. "Hi, Kendall."

Kendall smiled. "Hey."

"He was looking through the peephole until you showed up," James told Kendall.

Logan turned to his friend. "Shut the fuck up."

"I'm just alerting him to your weirdness," James said with a grin.

"This coming from the guy who gets a hard on from smelling Chuck-Fil-A."

James turned bright red, and Kendall laughed.

"As entertaining as your arguing is," Kendall said, "But we have reservations."

Logan looked at him. "Reservations?" he asked with surprise.

"Yup." Kendall took Logan's hand. "Bye, James."

"Please take him away," James said.

"Logan rolled his eyes. "See ya, Chicken Fetish."

"FUCK OFF!" James screamed while Logan shut the door.

Kendall chuckled as they walked down the hall. "You and James are fun to watch."

"I have years worth of stories I can share." They entered the stairwell.

"I bet."

"I'm sure you and Carlos fight like that sometimes."

They were outside now. "Except we can't swear. I don't want to be the parents whose kid drops the F-bomb first day of kindergarten."

"But it'd be a fun story to tell his future girlfriends."

They reached Kendall's car. "Camille and I have decided he and Emmy will get married," Kendall said.

They got into Kendall's car and Logan said, "That's cute."

"We are totally sure that they'll fall in love when they're older."

"They're probably a bit on love now." Logan remembered the two kids at the library. Mattie had pushed another boy out of the way so he could sit next to Emmy. And Emmy smiled so brightly at Mattie.

"Is it weird that I hope so?" Kendall asked and began to drive.

"Nope. So where are we going?"

Logan watched Kendall smirk. "You'll see when we get there."

"Rude."

Kendall laughed. "Aw. Don't be like that. I'm just trying to surprise and impress you."

Logan smiled. "You want to impress me?"

"Of course. You have no idea how nervous I was for our first date. Then I was afraid you'd think I wasn't worth it when Mattie started freaking out."

"You're totally worth it."

"You barely know me."

"I wouldn't want to know you if you weren't worth it."

Kendall stopped at a red light. He grabbed Logan by the collar and pulled him in for a kiss. Logan moaned against Kendall's mouth, loving the ferocity of the kiss. There was so much need behind it.

A car honked. Kendall and Logan broke apart, laughing as Kendall began to drive again.

"You didn't ask Mattie if I could spend the night," Kendall said.

"I figured I'd let him get used to us dating before we have sleepovers."

"So... no sex? Not that I only like you for sex! I just... wanna be able to be... physical with you as well."

Logan smiled and put a hand on Kendall's thigh. "I know what you mean. And we can have sex. Just no sleepovers."

Kendall smiled a little. "Will James be home?"

"Nope."

"You know, I'm kinda curious to see your room," Kendall said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I feel I'll learn a little more about you from seeing it."

"It's not really anything special," Logan said. He leaned over and kissed Kendall's cheek. "But I'll let you see it." They pulled into a parking lot and Logan gasped a little. "Giovanni's? Don't you need to, like, make reservations a week or two in advance?"

Kendall grinned. "Not when your baby sister is a hostess there. There was a cancelation and she called me Saturday asking if I wanted the spot."

"I'm dating a guy who has an insider at one of the most popular restaurants in our area?"

"Yup." Kendall shut the car off.

"I knew I had a good feeling about you." They got out of the car. "But... isn't this place really expensive?"

Kendall put an arm around Logan as they walked. "So I won't eat much this week. Plus, Katie's assured me free appetizers and dessert. But we have to share out dessert."

"You know I don't mind sharing food."

Kendall kissed the top of Logan's head after they stepped inside. "You're awesome."

They went up to the hostess. A skinny, pretty, brunette girl. "Hello, Big Brother."

"Hi, Baby Sister," Kendall said. "Logan, this is my sister Katie. Katie, this is my date Logan."

Katie smiled. "He is good looking."

"Thanks?" Logan said.

"You're welcome," Katie replied. "I'll show you to your table." They followed Katie as she said, "Becca will be your waitress, and I told her about your complimentary appetizers and dessert."

"I appreciate it," Kendall said as they sat.

"You owe me," Katie told him.

"Next time I need babysitter, I call you. And actually pay you."

"Sweet. Enjoy your date." Katie gave them their menus and left.

"She seems cool," Logan said, looking over the menu.

"She is."

"How old is she?"

"Sixteen," Kendall answered. "She'll be seventeen in December, and she'll be a Junior in high school. Makes me feel old."

Logan smiled at that. "How come she doesn't work at the daycare?"

Kendall chuckled. "She hates kids she's not related to. And she wanted to be able to get a job on her own."

"Makes sense."

Their waitress came, read them the specials, and took their drink orders.

"So," Kendall began, "we should use this time to get to know each other. Right?"

Logan smiled. "I guess so."

They talked about their favorite movies and TV shows. Their favorite bands. They were pleased to find they had similar tastes. They made suggestions for each other too.

"Though you could never watch it with Mattie around," Logan said. "Lots of sex and violence and nudity."

"How bad's the nudity?" Kendall asked.

"Well, you see vagina and dick."

Kendall laughed. "Nice. You have it on DVD?"

"Oh yeah. We can have a marathon one day."

"Sweet."

Their main courses came. They took forkfuls of each other's pasta many times without even asking. For dessert, they shared an enormous piece of chocolate cake.

As they waited for the bill, Logan got out his phone.

"What are you doing?" Kendall asked.

"Texting James to make sure he's gone." Logan's phone vibrated. "And he is."

Kendall grinned. "Awesome. I'm sure we'll have lots of fun." The bill arrived and Kendall quickly paid, letting the waitress keep the change. They said good-bye to Katie as they walked out. Kendall checked his phone. "Thank god," he said. "No texts from Carlos, which means there are no emergencies at home."

They got into Kendall's car and Logan asked, "Will mattie go to bed if you're not home?"

"Carlos lets him fall asleep on the couch and when I get home Mattie wakes up. Then I put him in his bed." Kendall started to drive. "It bugged me at first, but at least Mattie's sleeping and not annoying Carlos."

"Aw. He doesn't wanna sleep if you're not home."

Kendall smiled. "Yeah. He likes me to be around at bedtime. I guess he feels more comfortable or safe with me around. And if he has a nightmare, I'm the only one who can calm him down. Um. You know at the party when my mom called me?"

"Yes."

"Mattie had a nightmare that night and wouldn't go to sleep again until he talked to me."

"So I was in happy daydream land and consumed with lust while you were calming Mattie down on the phone?"

Kendall laughed. "Pretty much. I was pissed at first. I was finally kissing the guy I'd been admiring for so long, and I was interrupted. But then I heard him crying and went into Dad Mode."

"You are a good dad, Kendall."

"I try. I'm really afraid I'm gonna fuck him up or something. I wasn't even sixteen when he was born, and he never met his mom."

"He's happy and a good kid. That's what matters," Logan said.

Kendall parked in the parking lot of Logan's building. He shut off his car and looked at Logan. "You're great, you know."

"I was just speaking the truth."

Kendall moved forward and brought their lips together. Logan felt Kendall's hunger—a hunger for Logan. Logan knew the feeling all too well. Every time their lips connected, he felt that electric charge. His whole body became suddenly alert to everything Kendall.

Logan pulled back a little and said, "We should go inside."

Kendall nodded. "Right."

They raced up the stairs and to Logan's apartment door. Kendall wrapped his arms around Logan's middle and kissed at Logan's neck. This made it a lot harder for Logan to unlock his door. Once he did, though, he lost it.

He threw his keys across the room and pinned Kendall against the now shut door. His mouth attacked Kendall's neck, and he unbuttoned Kendall's shirt. "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since out first time," he whispered. He pushed Kendall's shirt off and let it fall to the floor. "Every time I touch myself, I imagine you."

"Shit," Kendall breathed out. He grabbed Logan by the hair and initiated another kiss. He undid Logan's tie and got rid of Logan's vest. "I've never wanted someone as badly as I want you."

Logan smiled as he kissed along Kendall's jawline. He kicked off his shoes and removed his socks. "No one gets to me like you do, Kendall."

Kendall forced Logan to step back and began to undo Logan's shirt. He kissed across each newly exposed area of flesh. Soon he was on his knees, opening Logan's pants and pushing them down his legs. He looked up at Logan. "It's nice being able to see you in the light."

Logan smiled down at Kendall, fingers traveling through Kendall's hair. "You look beautiful in any lighting."

Kendall blushed a little. Then his teeth grazed along Logan's hip bone. He bit down and sucked. Logan knew there's be a bruise the next day, and looked forward to being able to admire it.

"We should go to the bedroom," Logan said. "I, uh, promised James we wouldn't have sex in the living room. Or kitchen."

Kendall chuckled as he stood. "Alright." He removed Logan's shirt and tossed it on the couch. "Let's go to your room. But one day, we will have sex on that couch. Just to annoy James."

Logan grinned. "Dear god, you're the perfect guy." He brought their lips together again and stepped out of his pants. While his tongue explored Kendall's mouth, he guided them to his room backwards.

Kendall toed his shoes off along the way. He lifted one leg to get off his sock and did a weird little hop thing. Which made both him and Logan fall in the hallway.

"What happened?" Logan asked from underneath Kendall, laughing.

"Fucking socks," Kendall mumbled. He quickly removed both socks. "Sorry."

"It's fine," Logan said.

Logan put a hand on the back of Kendall's head and pulled him in for a kiss. He used his other hand to undo Kendall's pants. Kendall assisted in the removal of his pants. It wasn't long before they were both in their underwear on the hallway floor.

Logan began to thrust up against Kendall, creating the much needed friction to both of their erections. He nibbled at Kendall's earlobe and said, "I'd do you right here, but condoms are in the bedroom."

"Protection is important." Kendall stood and helped Logan up. "And I want to see your room."

Logan smiled. He took Kendall's hand and kissed it. He led Kendall to his room. He opened the door and they stepped inside. Logan shit and locked the door just in case. He walked up behind Kendall as Kendall took in his room. He lowered Kendall's underwear for him and appreciated Kendall's ass. "Nice."

Kendall looked over his shoulder at Logan. "Like what you see?" he asked with a smirk.

"Fuck yeah."

With a smirk still on his face, Kendall walked over to the bed and laid down. He propped himself up by his elbows. "Comfy bed."

Logan removed his own underwear and went to his bedside table. He opened the drawer and said, "The bed doesn't even squeak or anything."

Kendall wiggled a little, testing the bed. "Wow. Nice. What'cha got there?"

"A condom and lube." Logan joined Kendall on the bed. He put the items aside and kissed down Kendall's chest and stomach. "Do you want to top again?"

Kendall groaned when Logan began to suck him off. "Fuck, Logan." He pulled at Logan's hair, moaning loudly. "Jesus! I want you to fuck me. Please, Logan."

Logan stopped and sat up. He grabbed the lube and coated his fingers. "If that's what you want." He made Kendall's leg spread apart. " If it hurts too much, I'll stop."

"Logan, I've been on the receiving end before."

Logan chuckled. "OK." But he was slow with preparing Kendall. He didn't want Kendall in too much pain. Also, seeing the pleasure flash across Kendall's face whenever his fingertips brushed Kendall's prostate was amazingly sexy.

"Now, Logan," Kendall begged. "Please. I'm ready."

Logan removed his fingers from Kendall. As he reached for the condom, he kissed Kendall deeply. He ripped open the condom wrapper, then slid the condom on. He lined himself up with Kendall's entrance and asked, "You sure you're ready?"

"Fuck yes."

Logan laughed and slowly entered Kendall. "God," he whispered. Kendall was so tight it felt glorious.

"Move," Kendall demanded.

"It's not gonna be gentle."

"I don't fucking care."

Logan laughed again, intrigued by Kendall's impatience. Usually something like that would annoy him. But Kendall didn't have some pissed off "get it over with" look on his face. It was more of an "I want you now and I'll go insane if I don't have you" look. Logan fucking loved it.

Logan began to move. Slow, but hard. Kendall cried out in pleasure each time Logan hit that spot. Logan soon forgot all his worried about hurting Kendall. All he wanted was to taste Kendall's hot skin, hear Kendall call out his name, feel Kendall's hands claw at his back.

"Close," Kendall eventually said. "So close. Touch me."

Logan did as Kendall wanted, stroking Kendall until he reach his breaking point. Logan immediately followed, Kendall's name escaping his lips.

Logan pulled out of Kendall, took off the condom, and tossed it in the garbage can near his bed. Then he snuggled against Kendall's side, and sighed happily when Kendall wrapped his arms around him. This was the kind of things Logan wanted. He didn't want sex to be about coming and getting as far away from each other as possible. He wanted it to be about connecting, feeling closer to the person. He wanted to fucking cuddle with an amazing guy. A guy who would hold Logan close, run a hand up and down his back, and place sweet kisses to the top of his head. All of which Kendall was doing.

"This is nice," Logan said.

"Yeah," Kendall agreed. "Weirdly, this is just as enjoyable as the sex. Which was pretty amazing."

"It was." Logan kissed Kendall's chest, right over his heart.

"This isn't going to be the last time, is it?" Kendall asked.

"Of course not," Logan said, sitting up. "Were you afraid it would be?"

Kendall sat too. "Maybe. I was... a little scared you'd get bored with me at dinner. Like, I wouldn't be able to keep you interested in me. And even if the sex was good, you might not want to be with a dull guy."

Logan kissed Kendall. "You're not dull. You're interesting and we get along so well. Right?"

Kendall smiled. "We do."

"And I don't like you just for the fantastic sex. You're, like, the greatest guy I've ever met."

Kendall's smile widened. "You're even better."

They kissed again for some time. Then a voice interrupted them: "YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T FUCK IN THE LIVING ROOM!"

The two on Logan's bed giggled. "WE JUST UNDRESSED THERE!" Logan told James. He got off the bed and grabbed a pair of sweatpants out of his dresser. He put them on. "I'll go rescue your clothes," he told Kendall.

"Thanks." Logan stepped into the hall, shutting his door behind him. He followed the trail of clothes to the living room, picking Kendall's up along the way.

"You have fun fucking?" James asked, stepping out of the kitchen with a water bottle.

"Our date was very nice. Yours?"

James drank some of his water. "Fine. I think I'll end it soon. She's getting clingy."

"Ew. Too soon for clingy."

"I know!"

Logan laughed. "I gotta give Kendall his clothes."

James rolled his eyes. "Alright." He sat on the couch—as far away from Logan's shirt as possible—and turned on the TV.

Logan gave Kendall his clothes. He sat on the bed and watched Kendall dress. He really enjoyed the way Kendall moved. It was kind of beautiful.

Once Kendall was dressed, Logan walked him to the door.

"I had fun," Kendall said.

Logan put a hand to Kendall's face. "Me too."

"We're totally going out again."

"Oh yeah." Logan gave Kendall a kiss.

"I'll text you some time after I get home," Kendall said.

"Can't wait."

Kendall left and James said, "Aw. Is little Logie in love?"

Logan grabbed his shirt off the couch and smacked James with it.

So... I talked about Chick-Fil-A a lot in this chapter. My sister suggested we get Chick-Fil-A for dinner tonight. So we did. :D Made me happy.
