A/N: Hey guys, I'm sick on the couch watching Degrassi all day, so I thought I'd post chapter 3 of Big Time Fakers, enjoy!

Chapter 3:

Stunned silence filled the room as four boys and Kelly and Gustavo stared incredulously at Griffin.

"What?!" Gustavo found his voice first, shouting at the older man as the others all shared anxious looks.

"Not for real!" Griffin clarified "I want the public to think they're dating, so more people get invested in the Big Time Rush brand; more people investing in BTR means more ticket and album sales, which means more money for RCM CBT Global Net Sanyoid!" he clasped his hands together in excitement as the others stared at him, dumbfounded.

"Griffin, you can't just force them to date!" Gustavo put in, and Kendall was beyond grateful that he was with them on this.

"Oh, but I can," Griffin's voice lowered somewhat threateningly "and you will, or it's your job on the line, Gustavo," and with that, he marched out of the office, leaving it's occupants utterly gobsmacked.

"Gustavo," Kendall piped up "you can't be serious with this!"

"I guess I am," the man returned, dumbfounded, and Kendall's heart sank as he looked at the nervous genius; this was the last thing Logan needed to deal with!

"Our jobs are on the line guys," Kelly told them sympathetically "but all Griffin said is that he wants you to date," her voice sounded reassuring, and Kendall narrowed his eyes "he never said how far you have to take it," Kendall raised an eyebrow, and Kelly continued trying to find a middle ground "Well, obviously this is gonna be a little weird for you," she said "but we won't ask you to do anything you're not comfortable with," Kendall stole a glance at Logan, whose eyes were still fixed on the floor "how about the two of you talk it over, and work out what you're OK to do in front of the press," she gave them both a small smile before she and Gustavo left the office, leaving the four boys to share concerned looks.

"I can't believe he's making us do this," Kendall got out "Logan, I'm so sorry," the genius looked up at his name and, to everyone's surprise, offered the blonde a small smile.

"It's OK," he said "it's not your fault, it's Griffin's. Besides," he surprised Kendall again by placing his hand on Kendall's own on his leg "it can't be that bad pretending to be a couple, right?"

"Right," Kendall smiled at the other boy "we can totally do this,"

Later that afternoon, after the boys had told Mrs Knight and Katie about Griffin's ridiculous request, Logan and Kendall shut themselves in their shared bedroom to talk over their "relationship,"

"So," Logan began awkwardly.

"So," Kendall returned, picking absently at his nails. Soon, however, the science was deafening, and he spoke up "this won't be so hard, right?" Logan looked up "I mean, it'll be like the way we are now, just more hand holding.

"Yeah," the genius said. More silence.

"We should, uh, probably start now, so it doesn't look forced on camera," and without hesitation, Kendall reached for Logan's hand, lacing his fingers with Logan's own as the brunette stared, wide eyed, at their hands. "See? That's not so weird, right?"

"No," Logan said in a small voice, but he jumped slightly as Kendall rubbed his thumb over his the back of his hand, and the other boy let out a chuckle,

"OK, maybe it's not so easy after all,"

A/N: So there we go guys! I do love Kogan :)
