School started the next week and Kendall, Carlos, and Kendall all had lots of classes together while Logan was all alone in his honors classes.

"Where're you going?" Carlos asked as they all stood at their lockers- which they chose to be next to each other. It was the first day of their Junior year.

"Chemistry." James said.

"Me too!" Kendall smiled up at James dreamily.

Logan looked at them, rolled his eyes playfully, and said "Calculus."

"Nerd." James sang, closing his locker and slinging his backpack over his shoulder, taking Kendall under his arm, and leading him away.

"Try to make some friends." Carlos said, dragging his thumb over Logan's chin playfully- sending sparks through Logan's body. "We only have History together at the end of the day."

"I will." Logan sighed.

"And remember- you look hot." Carlos winked. Logan rolled his eyes at this- James had gelled Logan's hair up in the car, making it look messy yet organized at the same time. Logan thought it looked silly and missed the black locks over his forehead, but the others convinced him that he looked good.

"Really think?" Logan asked doubtfully.

"I'd tap that." Carlos giggled. "I gotta go to Chem. Have fun."

Logan did make a few friends, but he didn't really get too close to them. Meanwhile, all of his friends had a fun time in class together.

"Loge?" Carlos asked, walking into Logan's bedroom. "Da fuck is THIS?"

He showed Logan his Pre-Calculus textbook with confusion. Logan laughed, stood up, and explained it.

"Wait- did you call me Loge?" Logan asked.

"Yeah... Is that okay?"

"I've never had a nickname before."

"I don't see why not." Carlos shrugged. "You're like... My favorite person ever."

"Really?"

"Sure."

"Even over James?"

"It's a tie. But you know, I can't kiss James anytime I want."

"And you can with me?" Logan asked, confused.

"Can't I?"

"I guess theoretically if you were gay, then yeah. Anytime. But-"

Carlos cut Logan off with a kiss on the cheek.

"What's gotten into you?" Logan asked.

"I've decided that... Well, I'm looking at you, you're looking at me. Something about you's got me going crazy." Carlos said.

"But I'm Logan." Logan laughed.

"Exactly." Carlos laughed. "So will you let me kiss you again?"

"I- I guess." Logan stammered, but Carlos already had his lips on Logan's. Soon Logan's arms wrapped around Carlos's waist, pulling him closer. Their lips moved together for a while, but when Logan felt Carlos's tongue on his lips, he pulled away suddenly.

"No way." Logan said nervously. "We're brothers. And- and I'm a Christian- and this is wrong."

"Is it?" Carlos asked. "Who gives a fuck?"

Carlos pressed his lips with Logan's again, who didn't kiss back.

"Say it with me, Loge. Who. Gives. A. Fuck." Carlos murmured, kissing Logan's jaw. "Say it."

"Who- who gives a fuck?" Logan asked, then gained confidence. "Who gives a fuck?"

"Exactly."

With that, their lips met again and they kissed for a while before they heard the doorbell then the door open and close.

"Logan?" Papi called and Logan jumped and pulled away from Carlos. With that, he hurried out of his room leaving Carlos feeling smug. Carlos had been thinking of doing this for a long time, actually since he found out about James and Kendall. It was about time he did it.

He went out into the living room to see an old woman in a black nun dress with his mom and dad and Logan surrounding her.

"I just came by to assess how Logan has been getting along here." the nun said to them. "It has been nearly two months."

"Of course." Papi said.

She and everyone sat in the living room- Carlos sitting close to Logan, making Logan nervous.

"Logan, how do you like it here?" Sister Violet asked.

"I really like it. Carlos here is my best friend, then there's his friend and Kendall from the orphanage who are my other friends. Yeah, Kendall lives around here now and goes to my school." Logan said. "My other brothers aren't around much, but I like them, too. Mrs. and Mr. Garcia are really nice and supportive of my religion even though they aren't very religious. I'm in the church choir and me 'n Carlos are in the youth group. I really like it here- at first I was skeptical, but I really do love being part of this family. School's going good, even though I'm not in any classes with my friends."

"Wow- you sure have changed in these few months. When you were at the orphanage, you just sat in your room and read the bible, not talking much of anything to anyone." Sister Violet said in surprise.

"I was hiding back then. But Carlos has showed me how to have a good time and just be myself." Logan said, jumping when Carlos brushed his leg.

"Mrs. and Mr. Garcia, how has he been?"

"Well, it was rocky at first. My boy and his friend convinced him to do some things that he didn't want to do, causing him to get punished. But he's an angel." Papi shrugged.

"Yeah- he does his chores and he goes to church and does his homework. The only downfall is that he's still a little soft spoken around the family." Mrs. Garcia said.

"How do you feel about him?" Sister Violet asked Carlos.

"He's one of my best friends ever." Carlos shrugged. "At first all he was was my replacement to my parents, which made me a little mad. But now he's a fun guy to be around and helps me with homework and stuff. Even if he isn't good at video games, it's okay. He gets along with my friends and he fits right in."

"You know, Logan, I was skeptical when this family took you. I thought you wouldn't come out of your shell and you would hate it here. But obviously I was wrong." Sister Violet smiled.

After Logan and Carlos were sent away so that Sister Violet could talk to Mr. and Mrs. Garcia, they went into the game room.

"Ever seen the movie, 'The Orphan'?" Carlos asked as they turned on the game.

"No."

"We'll have to watch it sometime." Carlos said. "But it's about this girl, who's really 35 but looks 10, who gets adopted. And when the lady comes to assess how she's doing at her new house, she kills the lady and hides the body. You're not gonna do that, are you?"

"Probably." Logan laughed.

"Well I just hope I'm the little deaf girl who you let be your henchman, instead of the boy who you try to murder several times." Carlos said.

"Oh yeah. You can be my little henchman." Logan smiled, then his smile dropped. "What WAS that? Back in my room earlier?"

"A kiss. Well... More of a make-out session." Carlos said casually, staring at the screen intensely.

"Why?"

"Cause I like you a lot."

"Oh..."

"Do you like me? Like- if we weren't technically brothers and it wasn't 'wrong', would you go for it?"

Logan thought for a while then answered.

"I think I would."

"So what if we acted like it WASN'T against all human morals?" Carlos asked.

"You mean... Be together?"

"Yeah. Why not?"

"What's gotten into you? I thought you were straight." Logan said in confusion.

"Remember that day when me and you and James got drunk? Remember when I told you that you were so good looking that you could make a straight man gay?"

"No."

"Well I did. And it happened." Carlos said. "But hey... If you're not into it... I've been rejected before. It's not a big deal, we'll just go back to being brothers again. But I'd be kinda sad."

"Well... I wouldn't want you to be sad." Logan said quietly before turning to Carlos and giving a shy smile. Carlos turned to him, grinned, and leaned forward to kiss Logan on the cheek before going back to the game. Logan blushed deeply before turning his eyes back to the screen.

So now comes the good old question.

Who's the masculine and feminine figure in the relationship?

I dunno... I could make it work either way. So I'm gonna go with the most popular vote! :D
