A/N: Hey guys, so I though I might do some writing tonight, but I thought I'd better post a new chapter of Big Time Fakers first, so enjoy!
Chapter 4:
Next chapter:
It took a few days, but eventually Logan and Kendall had gotten used to holding hands and being closer than they were used to; they had practiced acting like a couple around the apartment, and it now finally felt less weird for Kendall to put his arm around Logan, or for Logan to brush the other boy's bangs out of his eyes.
The new "couple" was sitting on the orange couch, watching morning cartoons, when Kendall's phone rang,
"Hold on," Kendall muted the TV before answering his phone "hello?"
"Kendall!" Gustavo barked on the other end "Kelly has organized an interview with Good Day LA for you and Logan to come out! You and the dogs have to be at the studio in an hour, got it?"
"But, Gustavo-!" the blonde boy protested, stealing a glance at a curious Logan.
"In an hour!" his manager snapped, and before Kendall could get another word in, he hung up.
"What was that all about?" Logan asked as James and Carlos entered the room.
"Gustavo's got us booked on an interview with Good Day LA in an hour to come out to the world," Kendall told him reluctantly, watching as Logan visibly paled.
"Logan?" Kendall reached for the genius' hand despite himself, it had become habit now, but Logan drew away.
"I just, uh, need a glass of water," and with that, he got up and made his way to the kitchen, out of earshot of the others.
"I'm gonna kill Griffin when I see him," Kendall said in a low voice as James and Carlos exchanged a nervous look "it's not fair, what this is doing to him,"
"You do that, and the only exposure you'll get is a wanted criminal on murder charges," James told him "but seriously though, Logan's just being himself, he's just worrying, this will all be fine," Kendall prayed he was right, and continued to do so all the way up until he and Logan were about to be called onto set for the interview, his stomach flipping guiltily as he watched Logan wring his hands nervously, barely looking up as Kendall caught his eye.
"I wish James and Carlos were here," he said in a small voice.
"I know bud, but you've got me," Kendall tried to be positive, but Logan wasn't buying it, so the blonde reached down to take his hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze before his stomach sunk as Logan let go when he caught sight of the stage manager approaching them,
"You're up next, boys," she said, and Kendall fought a sigh as he saw Logan visibly pale,
"I'll take care of this," he said into the genius' ear "don't worry,"
"And now," the TV host announced "we have half of the band leading the upcoming boyband phenomenon; from Big Time Rush, please welcome Kendall Knight and Logan Mitchell!" the audience applause assaulted both boys' ears as they made their way onto the set, and Kendall looked over at Logan to see a look of determination on his face, trying to mask the fear he felt; he was trying his best to let whatever dramatic training he had kick in, but the blonde could tell he was struggling, and offered him a small smile as he sat down, his leg against Logan's own in an act of comfort,
"Well, what a warm welcome! Good morning boys, it's great to have you!"
"Thanks for having us, Cindy," Kendall replied confidently, remembering the blonde woman's name from the trashy morning show programs his mother watched at home "we've got something we'd really like to share with our fans, and we thought you might want to be one of the first to know,"
"Well I'm honored!" Cindy brought a perfectly manicured hand to her heart "So, boys, what is it that you've got to tell us?"
"Well, uh," Kendall swallowed the lump in his throat; he just had to spit it out "Logan and I are in a relationship," he felt Logan tense beside him, and a knot formed in his stomach as Cindy let out a gasp,
"Well, that was certainly unexpected!" she trilled "Let me be the first to congratulate you both! So how did this happen, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Thank you," Kendall said, thinking on the spot as he began to speak "well, uh, we've always been close; I guess I knew somewhere that Logan and I were closer than most best friends are, and I always thought that was just because we were more like brothers than best friends. But then we moved to LA to become Big Time Rush, and suddenly we were living together, and I was seeing so much more of him, so much of how this move freaked him out," Kendall reached over to take Logan's hand at the moment, not that the genius noticed; he was intently listening to Kendall speak, captured almost by his words "and I found myself gravitating towards him, and after a while I realized that the way I cared about Logan was more than the way I cared about James or Carlos; I guess I realized I loved him." Logan felt his heart pinwheeling in his chest as he gazed at the blonde; that was EXACTLY how he felt about Kendall! Kendall had been so calm and collected when they moved to LA, something that Logan had really needed for his travel anxiety and just fear in general; he was a shoulder to cry on, a support system and a hand to bear the load, but after a while, Logan found himself wanting to hold that hand, wanting that shoulder to wrap it's arm around him protectively and told him close and tight. But the way Kendall had described it, in those exact terms... he couldn't feel the same way as Logan did, could he?
"Well thank you very much for sharing that with us," the host said, offering a smile to the couple as the 'aw' of the crowd died down "I'm afraid that's all we've got time for with this interview, but I wish you both all the best for your relationship,"
"Thank you," Logan and Kendall said at the same time, the genius deciding he'd better say something during the interview as the two got up, Kendall's hand still firmly around Logan's, making his heart beat a little faster.
"Kendall Knight and Logan Mitchell everybody!" the host announced over a round of applause from the audience as she bid the two goodbye. Logan and Kendall were quickly ushered by Freight Train to the company car before they were surrounded by people, and the driver hurried off.
"Kendall?" Logan asked hesitantly, his heart beating rapidly in his chest.
"Yeah?" the blonde asked, turning to face him.
"What you said... in the interview-"
"They really bought it, huh?" Kendall said enthusiastically "This faking it thing might be easier than we thought!"
"Yeah," Logan mumbled, looking out his window "faking it..."
