Ch.48: The Catastrophic Birthday Party (Part 1)

"Hey guys," Carlos said happily while walking over to them, having noticed that Kendall and Jett were looking at him.

"Hey dude," Jett greeted him nonchalantly.

"Who's your friend?" Kendall asked him coldly.

"Him? Oh he's Brad..." Carlos said, suddenly avoiding the blonde's gaze "He's one of Drake's best friends on the show..."

"Hey man, nice to meet you," Brad said kindly, shaking Kendall's hand.

Kendall raised his eyebrows at Carlos, anger threatening to boil over.

Brad was tall and nicely built, he obviously worked out. He was blonde, his hair wavy and shiny, and had crystal clear blue eyes.

He was everything that Logan wasn't.

"Well, um, I'll see you around, Carlos..." Brad said, sensing the awkwardness in the , who had also noticed, quickly said goodbye as well.

"So, um," Carlos said awkwardly, having been left alone with Kendall "Look, sorry I walked out on you guys yesterday...I was just..."

"That your new boy toy?" Kendall asked him coldly.

Carlos immediately glared at him.

"What's it to you?" he snapped at the blonde "He's nice, you know,"

"Sure, I'll bet he's even better in bed..." Kendall said sarcastically "But you'd know all about that, wouldn't you, Carlos? How long has he been screwing you?"

"I'll let you know," Carlos said, offended "That I was faithful to Logan, right to the very end...I've had no one...well...except you and James..."

Kendall felt a pang of guilt, being reminded of this.

Carlos' eyes filled with tears all of a sudden.

"Kendall, what's happening to us?" he asked "Logan can't stand me, you can't tolerate me and James is sort of stuck in the middle, not knowing what to do...we're falling apart..."

"Oh, I'm fine," Kendall said "And you've obviously found yourself a replacement for all of us so...go be with Brad, Carlos, he's the freedom you wanted in the first place, isn't he?"

"I didn't mean it this way, Kendall," Carlos said quietly "And believe me, if I could go back in time I-I'd have done differently. Been gentler with him. But I still wouldn't have agreed to marry him, Kendall. Like I've told you before...I'm not you. Anybody with eyes can see you're deathly scared and unsure of your coming wedding...and yet you don't call it off...yeah, I'm not like that,"

"Go to hell," Kendall spat at him.

Carlos smiled at him tiredly.

"Aren't we in hell already?" he answered simply, causing Kendall's stomach to tighten uncomfortably.

"By the way, " Carlos said quietly "Happy birthday...I won't be here on Wednesday, 'cause I think you won't want me around but I still wanted to wish you a happy birthday..."

Kendall didn't answer and instead he stormed off...

(Wednesday...)

"Happy birthday baby," James said waking Kendall up with a kiss.

Kendall smiled and, keeping his eyes closed, grabbed James, bringing him close to him.

"Whoa, careful now, you won't want me to spill burning coffee on you..." James said lightly.

Kendall cracked his eyes open and smiled wider at what he saw.

James was carrying a tray that had scrambled egg as and toast, bacon, a hash brown, a plate of pancakes with butter and honey and two mugs of coffee. He also had a single red rose on a vase and a balloon that read 'I love you'.

"Oh James, it all looks so delicious!" Kendall exclaimed.

James chuckled.

"I'm glad," he said "Now let's dig in, 'cause I'm starving!"

The two boys wolfed down their food and set the dirty plates on the night table.

"Wow, that was SO good," James said, licking his lips and smiling, satisfied.

Kendall then got a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

"Oh I can think if something even better," Kendall said huskily, looking at James' shirt which had gone up a little, exposing his defined abs.

James, noticing the change in Kendall's tone turned to look at him and shivered under Kendall's intense stare.

"Kendall," he moaned before the blonde pounced on him, pinning his arms above his head, pressing him to the bed.

"Desert time, Jamie," Kendall said simply before licking the shell of his ear and then nibbling on his neck.

James let out a moan, becoming putty in the blonde's arms. Completely compliant to the blonde's every will.

"Take your shirt off, James," Kendall whispered authoritatively in his ear.

James gulped before beginning to yank his shirt off but Kendall stopped him.

"Slowly," Kendall said with a smirk, giving James' ass a playful slap, making him whine wantonly as he got up.

With hands trembling from excitement, James began to toy with his shirt, raising it up a few inches before letting it down again, teasing the blonde.

Kendall smiled before leaning back to watch the show.

James finally pulled his shirt up over his head and threw it near Kendall, giving him a playful wink.

He then began to slowly unzip his pants. He let them drop and stepped out of them, looking directly at Kendall, whose eyes were glassy, his normally green irises darkened by lust.

James then made a slow, sensual, provocative dance in Kendall's lap, making the blonde moan before he reached out and grabbed James' waist pulling him underneath him.

James gasped as he gazed at his boyfriend who was hovering above him, looking down at him like a hunter does its prey.

"Such a delicious desert..." Kendall said huskily while licking his lips.

James only stared at him with glazed eyes.

"Suck James," Kendall commanded, holding his fingers to James' mouth.

Although he was clearly going to be bottoming right now, James had no intentions of letting Kendall hold all the control and he began to suck on Kendall's fingers, wrapping his tongue filthily around them like he would his boyfriend's dick.

"Tease!" Kendall gasped while pulling his fingers out of his mouth.

"Only for you, baby," James said teasingly however he moaned when Kendall retaliated by pressing one of his fingers against James' tight entrance.

The blonde teased his boyfriend's twitching hole a few seconds before he slowly slid one finger inside him.

James moaned loudly.

"I'm not-a fucking- doll-Knight!" he panted "I won't break, I can take it!"

"Oh really?" Kendall asked, eyebrows raised "Very well then..."

He grabbed their nearby bottle of lube which was brand new since they'd already used up their other one.

Kendall coated his dick with a generous amount of lube before sliding into James without any warning.

James hissed, partly in pain, and partly because it felt so good.

Kendall for his part was having trouble controlling himself, not wanting to hurt his boyfriend and yet at the same time, he didn't think James had ever felt so tight around him, not even on their first time.

"Move, Kendall, move," James managed to grit out from underneath him.

"You sure?" Kendall asked, concerned "I don't want to hurt you baby..."

"You won't," James gasped "But please, please move!"

Kendall laughed before he kissed James and began to thrust hard and fast into him, hitting his prostate dead on with nearly every thrust.

"Oh God!" James exclaimed, pleasure coursing through his body.

"Fuck, so tight," Kendall growled, pounding into his boyfriend.

"So big, you feel so good!" James whimpered, writhing underneath him.

"S-so close, baby," Kendall panted as he captured James' lips in another heated kiss and he sped up even more.

James screamed in pleasure at the faster pace.

"Ahh! Fuck, fuck, Kendall, shit, so good, so good daddy, AHHHH! Kendallllllll!" And he came hard, painting his and Kendall's abdomens white.

"Oh God, JAMES!" Kendall said shuddering his release as James' insides clenched tightly around him.

They both laid there for a few moments, catching their breath before Kendall pulled out, making James moan, still overly-sensitized.

Kendall then got up to pick up their dirty sheets and some tissues to clean himself and James up before laying down next to him.

"Happy Birthday baby," James said snuggling up to him while Kendall tightened his hold protectively over his boyfriend.

(At the party...)

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDALL!" everyone on set yelled as Kendall and James made their way into the set which had been decorated with party lights and snacks and loud music.

Kendall smiled wide.

"Thanks," he said and began to move around, laughing and talking with other actors.

"Hey Kendall," Jo said brightly as she walked up to them "Had a nice birthday so far?"

"Yeah," he said smiling at her "I had a nice lunch today with you and Mia,"

"So did we," Jo said with a laugh "You're great with children, Kendall,"

"See? It's not just me who tells you that!" James said "Stay here, I'll be right back,"

He left hurriedly, leaving Kendall and Jo alone for a couple of minutes.

"So, um, where's Frankie?" Kendall asked her casually.

"Mia spilled her soda in her dress so he went to help her change," Jo said and added after a small pause "Did you fix things with Jett?"

"No, but I'm about to," Kendall said as he spotted the actor nearby, talking to Brad and other actors.

However, as Kendall began to make his way toward Jett, James returned with two plastic cups. Even before he took the cup from his boyfriend, Kendall knew what it was.

"For me?" He asked jokingly.

"Happy adulthood, Kendall," James said in a sing-song voice.

Kendall smirked as he drank half his beer in one gulp, like a pro.

"Show off," James said, grinning "Don't get carried away, though, I won't carry your drunken ass back to bed tonight..."

"Not even if I gave you some of that ass?" Kendall asked jokingly.

James groaned, the mental picture making him a bit hot.

"Guys, TMI," Jo said, turning pink from their conversation.

"Oh, sorry Jo, we forgot you were there," Kendall said apologetically.

"That's okay," she said "I'll come back in a while, I just need to ask something to Dara..."

"Sure," James said as Jo hurried off.

He then turned to Kendall and began kissing him slowly, sensually.

Kendall moaned into the kiss, wishing more than ever that they could skip this tedious party and skip right to their, ahem, celebration.

"Did you see Carlos' new plaything" Kendall said, pulling away from James and glaring at Brad's general direction.

James sighed, his face falling.

"Yes," he said softly "Kendall-I know you don't like it, I don't, either but...it's Carlos' choice..."

"Where's Logan?" Kendall asked him "Have you seen him at all today? Do you think he knows about Brad?""

"I'm pretty sure he does, this place isn't ideal for keeping secrets, and yet, he's still mad at us," James said with a sigh " With everything that's happened I don't really think he'll-"

A loud crash and angry shouting that followed interrupted him.

Elena immediately ran to the source of the commotion and the shouting increased.

"What's going on?" Kendall wondered aloud.

"I don't know," James said, taking Kendall's hand and squeezing it comfortingly.

Just then, Frankie reached them looking troubled and carrying a clean Mia in his arms.

"Guys," he said urgently " You better come see this..."

They followed Frankie outside where several set lights had been crashed to the hearts fell as they saw Logan in the middle of the mayhem angrily arguing with crew members and Elena trying to pacify both sides.

"A little help guys?" She asked them.

James and Kendall ran to Logan and held him back, even as he fought back against them.

"Logan, man, stop it!" James said as he struggled with his best friend.

"No, no, let me go!" Logan exclaimed, before he switched tactics and instead launched himself at James, attacking his mouth, kissing him roughly.

Annoyed to no end, Kendall tore Logan away from his boyfriend, pushing him away.

Logan staggered a bit before falling to ground, cursing like a truck driver, very obviously drunk.

James wiped his mouth on his sleeve and glared at Logan.

"Are you drunk again? Logan, what is wrong with you?. " he exclaimed.

"I love you!" Logan yelled drunkenly.

"No you don't," Kendall said impatiently " You love Carlos. You're just angry that Carlos rejected you..."

"He has a new boyfriend..." Logan told James miserably "Why can't you love me if someone already loves Carlos?"

"Because he loves me!" Kendall yelled agitatedly "Why are you trying to take my boyfriend away from me on MY birthday?"

"You don't deserve him," Logan continued to rant, the alcohol loosening his tongue and driving all rational thoughts from his mind.

By now, the party had halted completely and everyone had gathered outside to see what was going on.

Carlos, who'd been told by Jo of what was going on, arrived on he scene and attempted to calm Logan down.

"Logie," he said reaching for his hand and attempting to pull him away from the crowd and shush him in private "C'mon, Logan, let's go, you're not feeling well-"

"It's not fair," Logan continued, jerking his arm from Carlos' grasp, glaring at Kendall "I did everything right and you did everything wrong and yet you get your happy ending!"

"At least I'm not hopelessly drunk," Kendall observed coldly, eyebrows raised.

"Kendall," James said warningly, aware that arguing with Logan in this state could only land them in more trouble.

However, nobody was prepared for what came next.

"AT LEAST I'M NOT THE ONE WHO CHEATED ON HIS FIANCÉ!" Logan yelled at the top of his lungs.

Kendall's eyes widened...

A/N: Uh-oh, bet you guys weren't expecting THAT to happen...or at least not during Kendall's birthday. What will happen now? Will Kendall deny everything? Will James believe him? Should Kendall beat Logan up for messing things up for him? Is Carlos to blame for all of this?

Will Kendall's birthday end on a bitter note for him?

The answers to these and MORE questions to come in the next few chapters!

REVIEW TIME!
