They laid in bed for a while after that. Words were not needed, but only the sounds of their breathing and small shifting of the bed sheets every now and then. James took his place back on Kendall's chest. It was the best place. He closed his eyes and simply enjoyed that moment, wanting nothing more than to be there forever and ever. Kendall ran his fingertips through the dark hair slowly and lulled him in and out of sleep.

"Things will be weird and different now," James said quietly.

"Change can be good sometimes."

"Yeaaaah but I'm kinda worried."

"Stop worrying so much. You're turning into Logan." James made a huffy breath and chose not to respond to that statement. "Hahah, alright," Kendall continued. "Anyway, you want to finish that run we started yesterday?"

"Okay."

As much as they hated it, both of the boys got out of bed and went to get dressed. While James was waiting for Kendall to wash up (which was proportionately shorter than James's turn), he stepped out into the living room and found Carlos and Logan. They jumped up from the sofa with energetic faces. "James!" Logan called out.

"YOU'RE BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" Carlos yelled and ran towards his friend to give him a big hug.

"Eeeeyep!" James said with a satisfied face. "I am. And we'll never have to worry about this stupid weird wish thing ever again."

"So what happened with Kendall?" Logan asked.

"Well," James began with a smile. He didn't think it was entirely necessary to tell the all of the details, so he skipped to the main point. "Kendall is fine with being in love with me as a guy."

"No way?" Carlos wondered.

"Way."

Logan and Carlos looked at each other and went, "Oooooo."

"Okay, okay, enough," James sneered. "I dunno how Kendall feels about everyone knowing, so keep it on the d-l, alright?"

"We understand," the short couple said simultaneously.

"But I kinda need help with something," James said, quieter now. He stepped closer to the boys and whispered, "None of us had had anal sex before, so we don't really know how to go about it."

Carlos spurt out a laugh, but Logan blushed. "We can tell you all about it," Logan said shyly. "If that helps.

"Yeah."

"I'll tell you!" Carlos said. "You spread his legs and say, 'Logie-Bear! Carlitos arrival is imminent! Dumm-dum, dumm-dum, dumm-dum!" He started to hum and pull at Logan's body, but the lighter boy pushed him off. "Stop it," he said, trying not to laugh. "You don't do that," he told James.

"Uh."

Before they could go on their weird explanation much longer, Kendall came out of the bathroom and hopped down to where the action was. Logan told Carlos to put on a straight face, but it didn't work too well. "I can't do a straight face!" Carlos whispered to Logan.

"Ready to go?" Kendall asked.

"Yeah, yeah." James waved at Carlos and Logan, silently mouthing a goodbye and left the apartment with his new boyfriend.

Outside, it was a great day, as usual. But the sunshine wasn't the only reason why James was running with an added beat of happiness to his step. He looked to his side and watched Kendall stare straight ahead as he jogged next to him. They had gone running before in the past, several times, but this day it was different. For probably the first time in his life, James actually got what he wanted.

They stopped to take a breather up at that same bus stop. Kendall sat down and daftly pulled James beside him. He snuck an arm around his waist and pressed their sides together. James instinctively pulled out his phone and saw that he had a text message. It was from Carlos. "Get ur dick wet n stick it in him fast," it said. There was another one, too, from Logan. He wrote, "Ignore whatever Carlos is sending." James giggled to himself.

"What's that?" Kendall asked.

"Nooooothing," James answered. "Hold up." He grinned and wrote back to Carlos, "I want his dick in me, not me in him."

"Who are you texting?"

"Just Carlos."

"Oh, alright." Kendall put his head on James's shoulder and sighed contently. James's phone hummed and he saw that Carlos had replied to his message. "K then just get on ur hands n knees and tell him 2 plow u. Just do it omg." James rolled his eyes and decided to take Logan's advice now.

"What's up with Carlos?" Kendall asked.

"Eh, don't worry about it. He's just being a dick. I wanna keep going." They got up and continued their morning jog. About an hour, the loop went back to the PalmWoods. James was out of breath, but Kendall acted like it was nothing. "That was nothing," Kendall said.

"You know I do more power lifting, not really endurance," James said, wiping his forehead with his arm.

"Well then ya gotta run more with me," Kendall teased.

When they got back up to the apartment, it was empty. James sighed in relief, since he didn't want to run into Carlos and Logan. He wasn't sure what was going on with them today, but it was probably best to avoid it all.

"Need to shower," Kendall said.

"I'll wait."

"Nu-uh." Kendall snatched James's arm and pulled him off towards the bathroom with him. "We can save time this way." They went inside and Kendall shut the door behind them. He stepped to the side of the tub and turned on the faucet. Water sprayed out of the shower and echoed throughout the room. Kendall started to take off his clothes, but James just stood there and watched. Keep in mind, Kendall had seen James naked that morning, but not the other way around.

"Take your clothes off, man," Kendall said to James.

"Oh, r-right." James stuttered and pulled his shirt off. It was soaked in sweat, as was he. Kendall slid out of his shorts and began to take off his boxer briefs. James's face lit up. Kendall was still turned toward the tub, so all James could see was his little pale butt, and even that was enough to turn him on. His back was so thin that his spine was slightly visible. Kendall didn't say anything and stepped into the tub. He turned around and James got his first clear view of his entire naked body. God couldn't have sculpted a finer figure!

"Well? Come in," Kendall said. James cleared his throat and took off his underwear. Unlike Kendall presently, he had a raging hard on. Embarrassed, James walked into the shower and slid the door shut behind him. The water was beating down on Kendall's head and flattening his hair down his forehead. He put his arms around James and held their chests together. "This is better, right?" he asked. James silently nodded. "What's wrong?"

"Never seen you naked before," James said shyly.

"Well here I am. Naked. Naked Kendall." He laughed. James chuckled only a little bit. He put his hands on Kendall's waist and felt his skin. It was so smooth. He leaned over and kissed Kendall on the lips. Water from the shower ran onto James's face. Their lips entwined and James moved his hands around to Kendall's ass and pulled him close. Now, Kendall was starting to get hard. Their cocks pressed together.

"Is this okay?" James asked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't it?"

"'Cause you sorta weren't gay a few days ago."

"I don't think I wasn't gay," Kendall said. "Just maybe convinced myself I wasn't." He reached for a bar of soap and then began to rub it on James's chest. He made circles across his pectorals, over his shoulder blades, into his armpit, and finally down to his abs. Kendall put the soap down and just lathered it up with his hands, somewhat massaging as he did it. James bit his lower lip as he enjoyed Kendall's hands working all over him. He moved across the washboard abs and down to his groin. There, his cock was standing proudly, awaiting Kendall's arrival. The blond boy wrapped a hand around James's dick and rubbed it gently. James cried out in pleasure. It was weird feeling a hand that wasn't his touching those areas. Kendall looked at James and smiled. "Do you like it?" he whispered.

"Yeah."

"Good." Kendall put a little kiss on James's lips and let go of his dick. "Wash me, now." He handed James the soap. He was nervous about doing this, wondering if there was any way to fuck it up. He took the soap in one hand and ran it across Kendall's chest. Suds mixed with his many freckles and almost glittered in the bathroom light. James rubbed it all over his thin, creamy body. Kendall took the soap back from him and said, "Now just use your hands, okay?" James nodded and complied. He ran his palms through the trails of soap on his boyfriend's body. His fingers looped around his chest and ran down across his stomach, finally to his dick. Seeing it entirely hard made James feel a bit self-conscious, and Kendall was WAY bigger than James.

"Don't worry about it," Kendall said, almost as if he was reading James's mind. "I don't care."

James frowned to himself, but put his hands on Kendall's throbbing shaft regardless. It was so firm and long; a fine specimen of the male genitalia. What WASN'T perfect about Kendall?

"I think I sort of really need to have sex with you," James admitted quickly.

"Yeah, me too."

"Soooo?"

"I said I wanted to look it up first, remember?"

"Okay, okay."

"Come on, James. You don't want me to hurt you or anything. I don't want to fuck it up."

"Makes sense." James let go of Kendall's dick and looked up at him. The water was stripping all of the soap away. It ran down Kendall's legs and disappeared at the bottom of the tub. "So let's go look it up," said James.
