A/N: Alright, so it looks like most of you were aware of the rumors I was mentioning last chapter.

Now, I can't be 100% sure because, well, I can't PERSONALLY talk to the guys BUT I did some research on them and, so far it appears that the rumors are just that...rumors.

So far, nothing's been confirmed...there might be a 5th season of BTR for all we know, Nickelodeon still hasn't decided and the guys are fairly certain that there WILL be a 5th season.

And even if there's not...the show's end does not necessarily imply the group's end, as I've seen the guys explain.

So for now...I guess we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed, Rushers, because, though I know eventually they'll have to split up, for now I'm positive that they still have a couple of years left in them.

BTW, I hope all of you guys found ways to wish James Maslow a happy b-day on July 16th, I know I did, lol. His YouTube cannel was so full of b-day wishes I'm sure he didn't have time to read them all...but oh well, I tried...

Anyways, enough Rusher update,

Your reviews were amazing guys and inspired me to write this chapter down really quickly!

I hope all of you enjoy!

SHOUTS OUT!

-AkireAlev: Well, I read the rumors on Wikipedia which is why I was skeptical of them at first, but for now, I guess we'll just have to hope for the best, they seem to be false so far. And yeah, I would've loved to be one of the fan-girls Kendall mentioned last chapter too, lol. Thanks for reviewing, you're the best!

-SuperNeos2: Well...it might be some time before he actually comes in because I've actually got a vague idea for the next challenges our guys will face that will be the main focus of the next couple of chapters but, no worries, he WILL come in. Also, yeah, Kendall WAS totally a player...thanks for reviewing and awaiting your next chapter!

-jamesmaslowlover: Hope this was soon enough for you...I read the rumors in Wikipedia, NOT a reliable source and afterwards I've checked with fanlala and their website as well as the Nickelodeon site and we seem to be good for now...rumors are fake, or so they appear to be. Thanks for reviewing!

-simpLEEreading: Oh, their relationship's about to go to a whole new level in the next couple of chapters, you'll see what I have planned out for them. Well, I've done some deeper reasearch and the rumors appear to be fake, mistakes people made over some of the guys' tweets apparently but...we'll see. Hopefully I'm right and the rumors are fake and they're NOT splitting up! Thanks for reviewing!

-annabellex2: Yes, he does, this chapter contains even more Kamesness which I hope you'll enjoy. Thanks for reviewing!

-OuToFmYmInDbAcKiN5MiNuTeS: Lol. I'm glad you loved the chapter and, yeah, I know, the whole JamesxKendallxJo thing is complicated and it will get a bit more so in future chapters...I have evil plans I want to carry out later on, but for now, I'll let you all enjoy some Kames. Regarding Kendall's...um...habits with girls, well, before James, Kendall hadn't ever even thought about being with a guy AND I'd mentioned before that he wasn't a virgin on his and James' first time...but I'll bet you weren't expecting him to be that experienced, right? Yeah, it was funny to write that part down as well. As for the rumors...well, for now they appear to be fake, for which I'm very relieved. I know they can't last forever, but I sure hope they still have some time left. Thanks for reviewing and I can't wait 'till you post "Aftermath"!

-LoveSparkle: You know...I wasn't going to write a Jendall dialogue in this chapter...I was just going to skim over their break up but...your review made me reconsider, so I guess we'll see here how it all goes. I'm glad you're glad Kames is back though and thanks for reviewing!

-Eloisa M: You will be very pleased with this chapter I expect...thanks for reviewing!

-Samanthateach: Lol. You are SO right...well, I expect you'll like this chapter a lot. Enjoy and thanks for reviewing!

-Cashmeere: Well, I don't have a twitter so no, I couldn't see Kendall's tweet to James, what did it say? I DID wish him happy b-day on his YouTube channel though...let's hope he got my message. I'm glad you liked last chapter and I expect you'll like this one even more. Thanks for reviewing!

-Ro-Someone3: Well but so far it looks like the rumors have been fake, let's hope that's true and that BTR stays around for a LONG time. I also thought Big Time Cartoon would include a longer cartoon, but oh well, and having Butch Hartman, the creator of my favorite animated series "Fairly Oddparents" was still epic. We'll see how things go with "Big Time Break-Out" and yes, VOTE BTR in the TCA's! Help me spread the word! Thanks for reviewing!

-Madarao the Authoress: So far, it appears BTR's staying together...the rumors were false. Still, let's hope things keep up for our guys. I'm glad you liked last chapter and I agree that its cute Kendall's willing to wait, however, how long will that patience last? Not too long, lol. You'll see what I mean. And yes, Kendall's been a player in the past, lol. James' jealousy WAS cute. Hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks for reviewing!

-4ever with Kames: Oh no! Please don't! Look, for now the rumors appear to be fake, it looks like the guys will be staying together a while longer (hopefully). Still, well, it pains me to say this...they can't last forever and Directioners are only making it worse, I agree, but Rushers don't hate, remember that. Still, I'm sure that even after BTR our guys will continue doing great things, be it great acting or great music and through us Rushers, the memories of BTR will live forever...thanks for reviewing and I sincerely hope you like this chapter.

-ChocoChocoBloo: Warnings...you'll faint again, lol. Thanks for reviewing and I think you'll love this chapter.

-SerenityRatliff: I suspect this chapter will make you very happy...thanks for reviewing!

ALL OF YOU GUYS ROCK!

Cheers,

Franshes


WARNING(S): Mild Jendall and LOADS of (gay) SMUT coming up!

DISCLAIMER: If BTR were mine...these rumors wouldn't even DARE exist and BTR would go on to Infinity and Beyond! Alas, not mine...


Ch. 51: Closer than Ever Now

In the following weeks, James got even better. He began remembering; little by little details of his past which helped him understand his present. His parents and step-mother all came to visit him again and brought some of James' memories back with them.

Kendall and James were also growing closer together and surprisingly, James had managed to recall most of his past relationship with Kendall through a nightmare.

He'd woken up in the middle of the night panting and sweating and whimpering Kendall's name. This had awoken the blonde who'd hugged his boyfriend close to him while asking him what was wrong.

James had answered that he'd dreamed he cheated on Kendall with an ex-boyfriend whose face he couldn't quite recall and Kendall dumped him for that.

Kendall had sighed and explained the whole Sean ordeal to James who'd become visibly pale. He'd also explained to James how they HAD broken up just before he was shot but Kendall reassured the brunette that they would never break up again and that he'd already forgiven him whole-heartedly for that.

As his memories began coming back to him, James' dreams turned slightly more…indecent. James was ashamed to admit that for the last two weeks he'd woken up from hot dreams that often had Kendall slamming into him with a raging boner. This, combined with the fact that Kendall had broken up with Jo definitely and that James now remembered more or less everything made James think that he was finally ready to be intimate with his boyfriend once more...


That Afternoon...

That afternoon, Carlos and Logan were going out bowling together (though neither of them were any good at it, Carlos loved the corn dogs in the place), while Katie had gone out to prank Bitters with Tyler and Kendall's mom was in yet another date with Fabio. This gave James the perfect opportunity to have some alone time with his boyfriend.

He arranged their room to have to most romantic atmosphere as possible. Their two beds, already joined were in the center, their pillows fluffed up. Clichéd, though it may seem, James had set up candles around the bed, which gave off a soft, warm light. Plus he'd strewn several rose petals across the bed.

To top that off he'd showered and put on some cologne, not bothering to put on his clothes, knowing he wouldn't be needing them, laying on the bed in just his towel.

Nervously, he texted Kendall (who was at the pool and under the impression that James was preparing a surprise for him, which he was) to come up to their room. He then waited, trying to steady his breathing, wishing, for what seemed like the millionth time that month that he could remember how their first time had been. He wanted to make it that special for them…maybe even more...


With Kendall...

Kendall lay by the Palm Wood's pool just relaxing and enjoying the L.A sun, besides, he needed to relax right now. He was torn. He kept wanting to forget his whole break-up with Jo but for one, his mind kept replaying the hurtful scenes at him and two, he hadn't seen the actress since.

She was probably shut up in her apartment, still upset.

Kendall sighed as his mind once again began replaying the whole thing at him.

Flashback

"Hey Jo," Kendall said, biting his lip nervously as he approached the actress who was in the pool

"Hi Kendall, how are you?" Jo said, smiling at him.

"Um, I'm-uh-fine, it's just, well, we have to talk..." Kendall said finally.

"Okay,what do you want to talk about?" Jo asked, smiling at him.

"Can we talk somewhere more, you know, private?" Kendall asked her.

"Um...sure, what's going on, Kendall? Why are you so serious?" Jo said as she and Kendall made their way into the Lobby where they wouldn't be disturbed.

"Well, you see...James and I, sort of, kissed last night..." Kendall said softly.

Jo's eyes widened.

"Oh," she said softly"I see...so, did he finally...remember it all?"

"N-not really..." Kendall said, trying to keep his voice from shaking "But he said he remembered enough to know he was my boyfriend and that he loved me and...look, I'm sorry Jo, I really am. I really wish there was some way that I could keep both of you so neither of you would get hurt. It pains me to do this, because, I love you Jo, I really do but...you knew before we started all this that...James came first and...that hasn't changed and it won't, ever, I'm sorry..."

"Well, I-I knew that, Kendall, you'd warned me beforehand and I still...chose to take the risk. I-I won't stand in your way and...I understand that you love him. I love you too Kendall and I just want you to-to be happy. He makes you happy so...go. Be with your boyfriend, he needs you right now..." she said bravely while blinking back tears.

"Will you be alright?" Kendall asked her worriedly, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear and his heart twisting, remorseful as he watched her fight the tears that would inevitably come.

"I'll be fine, now go!" Jo said, giving him a push and a teary-eyed smile.

He hated it and he didn't want to leave her there, all alone in the Lobby. But he didn't know what else he could do or say to make it better and so, instead, he made his way into his own apartment, fighting back his own tears and his aching heart...

End of Flashback

He was shaken out of those thoughts by his phone vibrating.

He took it out and smiled at what he saw. James wanted him back in the apartment, aparently, he'd finished preparing their little 'surprise'.

Kendall couldn't help but wonder what it was and so, full of curiosity, he made his way up to the apartment, he'd worry about Jo later...


In 2J...

Kendall entered their room slowly, aware that James had been planning a surprise for them.

"Hey…" he said, his voice trailing off as his eyes widened at the sight before him.

James lay on the bed, completely naked besides the white towel wrapped around his waists. He smiled at Kendall nervously.

"Hi," he said timidly.

"Hi," Kendall repeated just as softly as he wordlessly began to shrug off his jacket, before slowly removing his shirt and jeans and then joining James on their bed, still approaching the brunette carefully, as though afraid to hurt the other boy through any sudden movements.

"What is all this?" Kendall asked James, lightly caressing James' face and hair.

"I thought I'd…pretty the place up. You know, make it special…for us. For what I want to happen between us tonight…"

Kendall bit his lip. To say he didn't want James would be a complete and utter lie. He'd been craving his boyfriend's touch for months now, ever since he'd first slipped into a coma and despite his recent guilt-pangs over his whole relationship with Jo, that didn't take away the desire and need he felt to be with his boyfriend. Still, he didn't want to push James into something the brunette didn't want. He loved the brunette more than he loved his body.

"Are you sure this is what you want, James?" Kendall asked him, looking into his boyfriend's hazel eyes to look for any sign of doubt or uncertainty.

He saw none.

"I'm sure, Kendall, please. I've waited too long now, I want you, I need you, please Kendall, please…"

"I love you," Kendall answered simply before bringing down his mouth on James, kissing him passionately.

James kissed Kendall back hungrily and thrust his hips upwards to meet his boyfriend's, making the bulge in Kendall's boxers grow and the blonde moan.

Wordlessly, Kendall moved his hands to slip off James' towel before removing his own swim trunks.

James whined with want as their bare erections rubbed against one another.

"Kendall…" he whined, thrusting against his boyfriend wildly "Kendall please…please…"

"Patience baby," Kendall murmured, lightly caressing James' brown locks, while peppering his upper body with light, butterfly kisses.

James huffed impatiently.

"Look," he said "I love you Kendall, but I'm also horny as hell and I really can't remember a thing about our previous relationship. Therefore, I wouldn't feel guilty about flipping us over and having my way with you, right about NOW, if you don't do something about it…"

"You wouldn't," Kendall said, with a laugh but he reached for the lube nonetheless.

Coating his finger thoroughly with it, Kendall gently eased a finger into James' entrance.

James gasped and squirmed at the sensation, Kendall having to remind himself that this was all new to James (since he didn't remember from before) and that he had to go slow so as to not overwhelm the brunette.

When James' discomfort had eased somewhat, Kendall slipped another finger inside him, making him hiss.

"Are you okay? Do you want to stop?" Kendall asked concerned, while his other hand caressed James' hair.

"No, no, I'm okay, I'm fine…" James gasped "It-it just feels…weird…"

Kendall kissed him, trying to distract him.

"Just tell me if it gets to be too much, okay?" he asked softly.

James nodded.

Kendall then scissored his fingers to get James to loosen up some more before slipping a third finger inside. He waited until James was bucking his hips into Kendall's fingers before lubing up his own cock and lining it at James' entrance.

He looked one last time at James, searching for any remaining fear or doubt in the brunette's face but James was smiling calmly and trustingly at him.

"Kendall, don't worry, I'm ready…I won't break-promise," he said.

Kendall nodded before slowly easing into James.

James winced, and his breathing became labored, his hands clenched tightly into fists at his sides but otherwise gave no other indications of the burning pain he felt. It HAD been a long time, after all, nearly 9 months.

After a while though, his breathing slowed down and he relaxed, giving Kendall the okay to keep going.

Kendall started thrusting into James at a slow pace, no matter what his boyfriend had said, he still didn't want to hurt him.

Besides, it HAD been a long time since they'd last been together like this, and Kendall didn't wanted it to be rough, hardcore fucking but rather slow and gentle love-making. He wanted to show James how much he cared about him and how much he'd missed this, how much he'd missed HIM.

James let out a soft whine as Kendall hit his prostate directly and Kendall angled his hips so that he'd hit the brunette's prostate with nearly every thrust.

"Kendall," James whispered "I love you…"

"I love you too…" Kendall said, smiling down at him as he sped his thrusts a little bit "So, so much Jamie…" he placed a gentle kiss on James' quivering lips.

Not many words were said between them, just the sound of skin slapping on skin and James and Kendall's gasps and moans of pleasure as Kendall continued to thrust gently in and out of James' tight heat, running his hands through James' naked body, caressing every space of bare skin he could find.

At a particular well-angled thrust that hit his prostate directly James gasped before he closed his eyes and came with a muffled cry of Kendall's name without Kendall ever touching him.

Kendall shut his eyes tight, feeling James' walls contract around him and shuddered as his own release washed over him. They continued rocking together until they were completely spent and then Kendall gently rolled off of James and got up to remove the dirty sheets before snuggling into the bedcovers, wrapping his arms around James and closing his eyes contentedly.

"I remember," James whispered, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"What did you remember Jamie?" Kendall asked, shocked by James' tears, wiping them away.

"Everything…" James whispered back as he let his tears fall freely now "Every touch, every kiss we've ever had…how we got here to L.A…every fight we've ever had and-and our break-up…Kendall, after everything I've done to you…after Sean….why are you still here with me?"

"Oh James, every couple has its fights…but we love each other, I love you, and that's all that matters alright?" Kendall said before placing a soft kiss on James' forehead "Now go to sleep baby, you must be tired…I'll be here if you want to talk some more when you wake up…I promise."

"Okay…" James said before snuggling into Kendall's embrace, somewhat relieved by Kendall's warmth. He was glad he remembered everything again…some of the memories that had just come back to him were painful ones, but he wouldn't have them any other way, he knew that now, because they'd all led to this. To him and Kendall being together again, and stronger than ever. In love…forever.
