Kendall woke up that morning still pissed off. He looked over to the left of him, Logan’s still sleeping. He ran his fingers through Logan’s hair and smiled.
“I’m so glad you’re mine.” He whispered to himself and kissed Logan’s forehead gently.
He turned over on his back and stared at the ceiling. Thinking about what he should do. He can’t leave the Palm Woods, and he can’t run away. Logan doesn’t want to leave the guys, and Kendall doesn’t want to either. But with Mr. Bitters homophobic, he just might have to. A homophobic person around a gay couple is not fun. It’s not like they’re going to make out right in front of him or anything. Why should he even care? He’ll have to find a way around it. They both love each other so much, why can’t Mr. Bitters just accept it? Why can’t he just accept their love? Love is a beautiful thing, no matter the gender.
Logan yawned and stretched, and turned facing Kendall. “Morning.” He smiled.
“Morning.” Kendall smiled back.
Logan put his head on Kendall’s chest as if it were a pillow. Kendall rubbed Logan’s head and kissed it softly.
“So, what’re we going to do about Mr. Bitters?” Logan asked.
“I don’t know yet, I was just thinking about that. If he’s going to make a big fuss about it, we just might have to leave.”
“You know I don’t want to.” Logan looked up at him.
“I know, and I’ll try everything I can to make this work. I’ll have a talk with him later today.”
“Okay.” Logan moved over on his side of the bed and stared at the ceiling. He covered his stomach with his hands as it grumbled.
“I’m hungry. Do we have more waffles?”
“Yeah, I think so.” Kendall got out of bed and found some pajama pants to put on, as did Logan. He went into the kitchen and browsed the freezer for some blueberry waffles while Logan sat at the table. He found the box of waffles and popped a few in the toaster oven. He sat at the table with Logan and they checked their phones for messages.
Just then, Logan’s phone rang. It was Gustavo.
“Yeah Gustavo?” He answered.
“Logan, I need you and Kendall to come down in the studio as soon as you can.”
“Yeah… okay.” He hung up.
“What did he have to say?” Asked Kendall.
“Gustavo wants us in the studio.” Logan said with a worried look on his face.
“As soon as we can. I suggest we go after we’re done with the waffles.”
“Okay. Did he say what about?”
“No, just to come in the studio as soon as we can.”
“Oh, okay.” Both boys were starting to get worried. Did James and Carlos spill the news to everyone? They wanted everyone to find out on their own, and not by the other band members.
The toaster oven went off and Kendall quickly got up to butter the waffles. As soon as he did, he handed Logan his two, and took a bite of his. They took the waffles into the bedroom with them as they found an outfit to wear. Kendall found a dark blue plaid shirt and jeans. Logan found a black and blue stripped v-neck and jeans. Both boys continued to get ready and took bites in between. They went into the bathroom to do their hair. Kendall turned on the flat iron and brushed his hair into place. Logan brushed his hair down and used his hands to style it upwards. Kendall took a chunk of hair to the right and quickly straightened it. They both finished their waffles and brushed their teeth. Just as they were about to leave, Kendall rushed back to the bedroom and grabbed a beanie.
“Let’s go.” They were in a hurry to get to the studio and as they got passed the lobby, Kendall gave Mr. Bitters a dirty look.
As they arrived at the studio, they saw Gustavo and Kelly with their arms folded across their chest, looking angry. James and Carlos were next to them. Kendall and Logan looked at eachother scared. There was a long pause between everyone.
“James and Carlos say you two are a couple.” Gustavo said.
“Uhh… yeah…” Responded Logan. His heart was beating mad.
“None of us expected this.” Says Kelly.
“I know, bu-,” Kendall was interrupted by Gustavo.
“I told the record label right away,” Kendall was beginning to sweat. Just as Gustavo was going to finish his sentence, Logan screamed.
“Why?! Why’d you have to tell the record label about us?! Well, yeah we wanted people to know, but this soon?” Logan was starting to cry. Kendall tried to calm him down by grasping his shoulders and looking him dead in the eye.
“Logan, calm down. I love you. It’s going to be okay.” Kendall said calmly.
“He’s right.” Says Gustavo.
Kendall turned around, “What?”
“You’re right Kendall. It is okay,” Kendall let go of Logan’s shoulders and looked confused. “When James and Carlos told me, I too was shocked, but I didn’t have one problem with it. And so did the record label.” Logan wiped his tears and sniffed.
“Seriously?” Logan said softly.
“Seriously,” Responded Kelly, “nobody within Roque Records has a problem with your relationship.”
“That’s great!” Logan said.
“But, we do have one problem with it.” Kendall said.
“What is it?” Says Kelly.
“Mr. Bitters.” Logan said quietly.
“Mr. Bitters is homophobic.” Kendall said seriously.
There was a pause, and Kendall continued.
“We were on our way to the park yesterday and Mr. Bitters saw us holding hands. Immediately, he freaked out.”
“Well, that’s not a problem. Is it?” Asked Gustavo.
“Oh yes it is,” Says Logan, “we don’t know what to do with him being homophobic,” he paused and squeezed Kendall’s hand, “it could ruin our relationship.”
“Oh… well, if you two are truly happy together, maybe I can have a talk with him.” Gustavo said.
“Yeah, all of us can a little talk with him.” Carlos put on his helmet.
“We’re best friends. And we’ll do anything to make you guys happy.” James replied.
“Thanks guys. That really means a lot.” Kendall said and smiled softly.
The band had a group hug and Kelly smiled at their happiness.
