Ok Here's another new one from me. I was thinking about Garfield 2: A Tail of Two Kitties. I love that movie. It was so funny. Anyways this is where my mind eventually wandered to. I don't know how I came to this. I hope it's good and I hope you like it. This isn't the story I gave a preview of in Take What Comes, but that fic is still in the works. I don have this one read to go though. I will get that one up as soon as I can though. This doesn't start as Kogan but it will get there.

Two Worlds

Chapter 1: Worlds Apart

Kendall Knight sighed as he looked down at his math homework. All it was, was a bunch of jumbled numbers and letters. Kendall did not get algebra. He also did not understand how he would need it in the real world. Kendall attempted to do another problem when he heard his bedroom door open. Kendall didn't need to look to know who it was. He could tell who it was just by the way he walked.

"Hey babe," Kendall said without turning around.

"How'd you know it was me?" Dak asked as he walked over to Kendall.

"I just knew," Kendall said turning around to face his boyfriend of two years. He stood up and looked down at Dak. "I need a distraction from my homework," he said.

"Math again?" Dak asked as he met Kendall halfway with a brief kiss.

"Yep," Kendall said smiling. "let yourself in again?" he asked. Dak nodded his head grinning as he did so. Kendall leaned in and kissed Dak on the lips again. Kendall didn't feel the spark he used to feel, but he couldn't bring himself to break up with Dak. He didn't want to hurt him. Dak didn't seem to notice. Maybe it was just a phase and Kendall would get the spark back. He really did care about Dak. Kendall pushed Dak back towards his bed, Dak sat down pulling Kendall with him.

"Kendall Donald Knight," his mother, Jennifer Knight yelled. Kendall sighed and pulled away from Dak.

"I'll be right back," Kendall said.

"Take you're time," Dak said smiling. Kendall jumped up and ran from his room. He made his way down to the kitchen where his mother and sister were sitting at the kitchen table.

"What?" Kendall asked.

"I asked you to pick your sister up from school today," Jennifer said.

"No you said tomorrow," Kendall said quickly.

"No I said today," Jennifer said, "I had a job interview today," she said.

"You didn't miss it did you?" Kendall asked quickly, "I can pick up an extra shift at work if I have to," he said quickly.

"No I made it, but I got a call from Katie afterwards asking where you were," Jennifer said.

"I am so sorry Katie," Kendall said turning to his sister. He really did think it was supposed to be tomorrow. "I thought it was tomorrow," he said.

"Go back to doing you're homework and tell Dak not to distract you or he has to leave," Jennifer said.

"Can he distract me when I finish?" Kendall asked.

"Only when you are done with you're homework," Jennifer said.

"Fine," Kendall said. He turned around and slowly made his way back up to his room.

Kendall knew if he did his homework fast enough he and Dak would get some time to fool around before he had to work. Kendall worked at a local supermarket. He worked there because his mother had a hard time finding jobs that paid enough to get by. She paid the bills and Kendall bought the groceries. He got things that most people took for granted. Sometimes they didn't have much food and Kendall wouldn't eat. He would make sure his mother and sister were fed over him. Dak noticed and forced the blonde to eat sometimes. Kendall only cared about making sure his mother and sister didn't go hungry.

Kendall walked into his room and saw Dak sitting on his bed. He walked over to his desk and sat down.

"Mom says no fooling around until I get my homework done," Kendall said looking over his shoulder.

"Fine," Dak stood up and walked over to Kendall. "Need help?" he asked.

"It's algebra what do you think?" Kendall asked. Dak laughed and pulled Kendall's chair out and sat himself in the blondes lap. "Comfortable?" Kendall asked as he placed his hands on Dak's hips.

"Very," Dak said.

"Well now we don't want you uncomfortable now do we?" Kendall asked.

"It's easy," Dak said. He started to talk and Kendall couldn't help but think about what he had to do. His mother was falling behind on the bills again and those needed to be paid. They would have to find another way to get groceries. Maybe, Gustavo would give him the extra produce again. He knew he couldn't keep depending on the kind man, but he didn't have a choice.

"Kendall are you listening to me?" Dak asked after awhile.

"Sorry," Kendall said, "I was thinking about what we're gonna do this week about food," he admitted.

"That bad?" Dak asked looking down at Kendall.

"Yeah," Kendall said, "but let's get my homework done and maybe we can get some alone time in before I have to go to work," Kendall said.

"When do you have to go to work," Dak asked.

"Five thirty," Kendall said.

"That gives us a half hour to get you're work done," Dak said, "and after that we'll get a half hour of us time," he said. Kendall grinned at that.

"It you want that alone time you should really help me," Kendall said.

"Pay attention then," Dak said.

"I can't make any promises," Kendall teased.

Kevin Knight sighed as he walked down the long hallway to his room. He had just gotten some 'good news' as his father put it. He didn't think it was good news at all. He didn't want to be forced into a marriage. He wanted to fall in love, as silly as it sounds. He wanted to be with someone out of love. Kevin walked into his room and saw his two best friends, James Diamond and Carlos Garcia sitting on the couch in his room. They were talking and laughing at some stupid joke Carlos had just said. Kevin loved his friends dearly.

James was like Kevin from a high class family. James' dad worked with Kevin's dad actually at his law firm. James dad was the man who won the cases and he traveled often out of town to meet with potential clients when he wasn't busy with a case. Kevin and James had been friends since they were very little. They had known each other their whole lives. Carlos was from a rich family, but he wasn't taught in the same high class James and Kevin were. He did pick up quick though. Kevin and James had met Carlos on their first day of high school. They all went to Dayton Boys Academy. After that they all became friends. As the last three years went by they became closer friends.

"Hey Kev," James said looking up at him. "What did you're dad want?" he asked.

"He's still forcing me to marry," Kevin said as he walked over to his bed.

"But you're gay," Carlos said.

"Thank you captain obvious," Kevin said as he fell onto his bed. "It's some guy," he said.

"Who is it?" James asked.

"Logan Mitchell," Kevin said.

"That nerd who takes all those AP classes?" James asked.

"Yes," Kevin said, "apparently his dad's law firm will merge with my dad's if we get married," he said.

"Are you serious?" Carlos asked.

"No I am making this all up," Kevin snapped annoyed. Carlos hung his head looking away from Kevin.

"So, when are you two gonna officially meet?" James asked.

"Later tonight at dinner," Kevin said, "they are coming over and my dad said if you two are staying you need to look you're best," he said.

"We can handle that," James said.

"Yeah, we'll just go change in our rooms," Carlos said. Kevin laughed and shook his head. James and Carlos were over at his house constantly, because their parents were almost always out of town. They practically lived with Kevin. They even had their own rooms.

Kendall ran down the street to the Rocque Supermarket. He was late for work. He had gotten distracted by Dak. He had managed to finish his homework and Dak rewarded him. He had barely had time to grab his jacket and his hat as he ran out the door yelling his good byes to his mother, Katie, and Dak. Kendall was cursing himself as he entered the store. He made his way to the back where Kelly Wainwright was getting ready for her shift as well. Kelly Wainwright was a twenty two year old trying to make her way through college and one of Kendall's friends at the supermarket.

"You're late," Kelly said without turning to look at him.

"I know, I know," Kendall said as he shed his jacket and threw it into his locker. He left his beanie on. "Gustavo doesn't know does he?" he asked as he grabbed his smock.

"Oh I know alright," a voice said from behind Kendall.

"Gustavo," Kendall said turning around to face his boss.

"Look Kendall I can't keep turning a blind eye to you being late all the time," Gustavo said.

"Don't fire me please I need this job," Kendall said, "dock my pay or anything, but don't fire me," he said desperate.

"I am not gonna fire you," Gustavo said.

"Thank you," Kendall said. He knew Gustavo knew about his living arrangement. He knew the blonde went without eating sometimes.

"Just get to work," Gustavo said, "you're both on cash registers," he said to Kendall and Kelly. They both nodded and left the room. They walked up front to the checkout area. There was a total of ten checkout counters. Three were in use at the moment.

"About time," A voice said catching Kendall's attention. Kendall looked up and saw his best friend Camille Roberts.

"I am taking over for you?" Kendall asked.

"Yes," Camille said.

"Sorry, I was doing my homework and Dak showed up and I got distracted," Kendall said as he walked over to her.

"Whatever, I did my till and everything is set for you," Camille said smiling at him. She walked past him and Kendall took his spot at the cash register. Camille said good bye to Kelly and left. Kendall was leaning against the wall when someone walked up to him and set a bottle of soda and a bag of chips down on the conveyer belt. Kendall quickly rang the items up and looked up to see Dak standing before him smiling.

"What are you doing here?" Kendall asked.

"My mom wanted some chips and the soda's for me," Dak said pulling a ten dollar bill out of his wallet. "And you forgot this," he said fishing something out of his pocket. He held up Kendall's out of date cell phone. It was out of date, but it still worked for the blonde and he was ok with that.

"Thanks," Kendall said taking his phone. He gave Dak his change.

"Call me when you're shift is done and I can give you a ride home," Dak said.

"I am perfectly capable of walking home Dak," Kendall said.

"Not in the dark," Dak said.

"I've done it before," Kendall said.

"Kendall quit being stubborn," Dak said, "I just worry about you now just call me after you're shift," he said.

"Dak I can walk home on my own," Kendall said.

"I'll make sure he calls you Dak," Kelly said from the cash register next to them. "And if he doesn't I will," she said.

"Thanks Kelly," Dak said, "Kendall I just don't want you getting hurt," he said.

"Fine," Kendall sighed. "I'll call you," he said.

"Good boy," Dak teased earning a playful glare from Kendall. Dak grabbed his things from Kendall and left the store. Kendall watched him leave. He knew Dak only meant well, but he could take care of himself.

"Kendall he only worries because he cares," Kelly said.

"I know, I know," Kendall said, "but it's not like I haven't walked home at night before," he said.

"I know, but it only takes one time for something bad to happen," Kelly said, "do you really want to risk leaving you're mother and sister alone?" she asked.

"No," Kendall said.

Kevin looked at himself in his floor length mirror. He had to look his best to impress Mr. Mitchell. He knew Logan wouldn't care what he looked like. They didn't have a say in this matter. Kevin was wearing a white button up dress shirt and a black tie. He had black pants on and matching black shoes and socks. He looked perfect. He grabbed a comb and ran it through his hair. Kevin sighed as he sat down on his bed.

James and Carlos walked into his room without even knocking. He was used to it by now. That's just how they were. Carlos was wearing all black except his tie was white. James was wearing a brown button up and black pants and shoes. He wore no tie.

"James," Kevin said.

"Your dad already saw us and said we were good to go," James said.

"You can't ruin this dinner," Kevin said.

"We know," Carlos said.

"I will murder you both is you ruin this," Kevin said, "I may not want to marry him, but I know my place," he said.

"That's noble of you Kev," James said, "I'd never be able to go through with this if it were me," he said.

"Like I said I know my place," Kevin said.

"Come on they should be here soon," Carlos said. Kevin nodded and followed James and Carlos out of his room. The walked down the long hall to the top of the stairs. They stopped when they heard voices coming up from down stairs.

"But, dad why do I have to do this?" a familiar voice asked. Kevin recognized it as Logan Mitchell.

"Because this marriage would be good not only for the community but show that not only do I support my son but his right to marry," came the voice of David Mitchell.

"Isn't the point of the law for gay marriage to be about me marrying who I want?" Logan asked.

"That is beside the point," David said, "now you are going to sit through this dinner and get to know Kevin," he said.

"Dad I go to school with him," Logan said, "I already know him and his friends. They're morons and I don't want to be seen with them," he said.

"Logan enough," David said.

"Sirs this way to the dining room," Kevin's butler Harrison said. The listened for the footsteps to fade before going down stairs. They made their way to the dining room where Kenneth, David, and Logan were already talking.

"Boys," Kenneth said once he saw them. "David this is my son Kevin, and his friends James Diamond and Carlos Garcia," he said.

"Hello boys," David said.

"Boys this is David Mitchell and his youngest son Logan," Kenneth said.

"It's nice to meet you," Kevin said to David. "It's good seeing you again Logan," he added giving the brunette his charming smile.

"You too Kevin," Logan said smiling slightly.

The small group sat down for dinner and ate. David and Kenneth talked about what their plans for the joint partnership would be. Kevin, James, and Carlos all talked and laughed while Logan sat watching them.

"What's the matter Logan cat caught your tongue?" Kevin asked after awhile through a mouthful of food.

"Charming," Logan said looking Kevin up and down. "First it's not polite to talk with you're mouthful, and secondly you're not including me in your conversation with your buffoons," he said, "I mean friends," he corrected himself quickly.

"Ok look we get it you don't like us," James started looking at Kenneth and David who were too busy with their conversation to notice the boys. "but, we're going to have to learn to like one another," he said.

"As much as I hate it admit it, James is right," Kevin said.

"Fine," Logan said, "I guess I don't really have a choice now do I," he said.

Kendall sighed as he stood outside Rocque Supermarket. He was waiting for Dak to come and pick him up. He wanted to get home so he could go to bed. He looked over his shoulder and saw the graveyard employees. He felt bad for them. He didn't understand why Gustavo wanted to be open so late at night. He also knew what they were going threw. He took the graveyard shift sometimes. When he needed extra cash he would ask Gustavo for more shifts. Dak finally pulled up in his car. Kendall smiled and walked around the car and got in.

"I was starting to think you were never gonna show up," Kendall said smiling.

"Nothing could keep me from you," Dak said smiling.

"You're so sweet," Kendall said sarcastically which had the two laughing.

"Seriously though, my mom had like twenty questions about where I was going," Dak said, "sorry," he said as he pulled out into the street again.

"It's ok," Kendall said.

"So, how was work?" Dak asked casually.

"Boring," Kendall said, "this guy tried giving me an expired coupon. I had to call Gustavo in and he settled things and the guy left, other than that nothing really happened." he said.

"Sounds fun," Dak said, "I don't know why your working full time though," he said looking over at Kendall.

"I need to," Kendall said.

"No you don't," Dak said.

"Yes I do," Kendall said, "my mom is falling behind on the bills again and we need food," he said.

"Look Kendall I know money is tight right now, but you're mom's the one who should be working. I admire you for taking a job, but you're working yourself to death," Dak said.

"I am only trying to help my mom and sister," Kendall said, "I don't want them to go hungry," he said.

"While you starve yourself?" Dak asked. "Face it Kendall you're driving yourself to an early grave and your mother and Katie would agree with me," he said.

"You've talked with them about this?" Kendall asked slowly.

"Yes, Kendall they're worried about you," Dak said as he pulled into Kendall's driveway. He turned his car off and turned to the blonde. He stopped him from getting out of the car. "Kendall I know you only want to help others, but you need to take care of yourself," Dak said.

"Fine, I'll work on it," Kendall sighed. He knew Dak was right. He didn't need to be working himself so hard. Dak leaned in and pecked Kendall on the lips.

"Sleep tight Ken," Dak said.

"I'll try," Kendall said as he got out of the car. He started for the door. He heard Dak start his car only for it to stall and shut off. He tried a few times and it wouldn't start. Kendall turned around and looked at Dak. He gestured for him to get out of the car. Dak got out of the car.

"It won't start," he said.

"The battery is probably dead," Kendall said, "come on you can stay the night here," he said walking over to Dak. "I can probably get you a new battery tomorrow and fix it," Kendall said.

"My personal grease monkey," Dak said smiling.

"You know it," Kendall said grinning. He grabbed his hand and led him inside. "You'll need to call your mom and let her know and I'll let my mom know as well," he said.

"Kendall is that you?" Jennifer asked as she walked down the stairs. "Dak," she said when she saw him.

"My car won't start," Dak said.

"Can he stay here?" Kendall asked.

"I was about to call my mom and let her know," Dak said.

"Please mom, he lives all the way across town and he can't walk alone this late at night," Kendall said.

"Ken," Dak began.

"Don't start," Kendall said. Dak closed his mouth and looked away from Kendall.

"As long as your mom knows I don't have a problem," Jennifer said.

"Thanks mom," Kendall said. He grabbed Dak's hand and pulled him towards the stairs.

"That means sleeping and nothing else," Jennifer said.

"We know," Kendall said.

Kevin sighed as he walked into his room. David and Logan had left. He had talked to his dad after David and Logan left. He had explained that he would try to win Logan over. He knew it was what was best for his dad. He understood that this marriage was important. He wasn't going to do anything to ruin this for his dad.

Kevin walked over to his window and sat down on the bench below it. He sat there and looked up at the night sky. He wished that somehow he had a different life. He hated that he had had everything handed to him. He wanted to be able to work for what he wanted. He didn't want to marry Logan at all. He wanted to fall in love.

A soft knock at his door brought him from his thoughts. Kevin sighed and heaved himself up. He walked over to his door and opened it. He saw Carlos and James standing there in the pajamas.

"Come in," Kevin said stepping aside for them. They walked into Kevin's room and walked over to the closet. They grabbed the spare blankets from the closet.

"So what do you guys think of Logan," Kevin asked as he sat down on the couch.

"He seems to hate us," Carlos said.

"I think he'll be a challenge," James said, "but you're gonna have to get him to like you at least," he said.

"I know that," Kevin said, "which is why I think we need to start hanging out with him," he said.

"No," James said.

"We have to," Kevin said, "it'll get him used to us and maybe we can get him to open up," he said.

"I agree," Carlos said, "the more we get him to like us the better it will be for Kev when they have to get married," he said. Kevin cringed at that and looked away from his friends. He understood that he had to marry Logan, but he still didn't want to.
