"Come on Logan!" James Diamond said trying to urge his best friend to hurry so they go with him with Six Flags Magic Mountain with Logan's three-year-old son, Zane.
"I already said yes. Gosh, I can't even brush my teeth when we're on a schedule!" Logan falsely complained.
James had always been trying to cheer Logan up since Zane's mother Camille Roberts, died in a plane crash two weeks after Zane was born.
Logan was so depressed, James' first step to help his best friend since preschool was inviting him and Zane to move in with him at his house.
Logan, accepted of course, so he could have a helping hand in taking care of his son. They already worked together anyway as the two man band, Big Time Rush.
James was waiting for Logan to hurry and brush his teeth when Zane came up to him.
"Uncle James, are we leaving yet?" Zane asked in a somewhat happy and pleading tone.
"We're just waiting for your daddy" James told his nephew.
"I'm ready now." Logan said coming out of the bathroom.
"Great, now let's go to Six Flags!" James said with Zane cheering.
They eventually made it to Valencia, a small area in Santa Clarita and found the theme park.
They decided it was a good idea to go on the rides first then eat food, for obvious reasons.
After several hours of going on the rides that Zane wasn't too short for, they decided to go get some lunch.
They went into the restaurant called Food, etc(the 'etc' is part of the name) where they had several different foods including Mexican, Sushi, Fish n Chips, and even ice cream from Ben n' Jerry's.
Logan went to the line to order fish n chips for himself and Zane. When he got to the cashier, he felt like he couldn't speak. James went to the other side to get himself some Mexican food.
Standing before him was the hottest Latino guy he'd ever seen.
The uniform the cashier was wearing just made him even more hot. He had on a lime green polo shirt tucked in, khaki pants, an apron, a blue jacket, and a visor. Logan then saw that his name tag said Carlos on it.
Carlos then spoke as he worked the register "two orders of fish n chips and two regular drinks. Are you sure you don't wanna upgrade to the Souvenir Bottle? You get free refills all day and when you bring it back, it's only 99 cents a refill for the rest of the year."
Logan felt like he couldn't speak, but quickly over came it. "No, thank you. Just the regular sized drinks."
Carlos then filled their cups when James and Zane came over.
"Daddy! They have ice cream here!" Carlos smiled at the sight of the little boy but then felt his heart crush. He immediately had a crush on Logan right when he saw him. And seeing him with a son and another guy just killed it
"I know. Me and Uncle James are going to get some when we're done eating lunch okay?" Logan said to Zane.
Carlos felt his spirits brighten. The other man was called 'Uncle' which obviously meant that Logan and James' relationship was nothing more than platonic.
Carlos then finished filling up their drinks and gave it to Logan "Thank you and have a good day!"
"Thank you, you too!" Logan said back. Little did both men know the effect they had on each other.
When they finished lunch, they left the park, and went to Ralph's to go buy some food.
However, Zane was wandering off into the cereal aisle, unknown to Logan and James.
Logan was looking at the eggs, while James was trying to look for freshly cooked fried chicken.
Unknown to them, Carlos was in the grocery store, at the time.
Carlos was going to the cereal aisle to get some for him and his best friend-slash-roommate Kendall, who also worked in the theme park. However, he had today off.
Carlos then saw Zane in the cereal aisle looking scared. Remembering him from earlier, Carlos went up to him.
"Hey, where's your daddy and uncle?" Carlos asked Zane.
"You're the man from Six Flags!" Zane said, noting that Carlos was still in his uniform, except the apron and visor were in Carlos' car.
"I am. Did you lose your daddy and uncle?"
"I think so" Zane said.
"Zane! There you are!" Logan said as he found Zane with Carlos.
Logan then remembered Carlos from earlier that day and said "thank you, for finding him, Carlos. I'm Logan"
"Nice to officially meet you" Carlos said shaking his hand.
"Well, I have to go now, bye Carlos. See you later" Logan said nervously, hoping Carlos didn't find out he like him.
They found James buying the friend chicken at the cashier.
"Hey, guess what?" Logan said to James.
"What?"
"The cashier from lunch at Six Flags found Zane when he was lost." Logan said
"Zane got lost?"
"I'm sorry, Uncle James. I'm sorry, daddy. Please don't be mad" Zane asked.
"I'm not mad. I'm just happy you're okay." Logan said.
When they got home, they ate dinner right away.
After dinner, Zane went to sleep, and James told Logan "so….tomorrow night, we have a double date."
"What?" Logan asked shocked.
"Please don't be mad."
"James, you know I don't have time to date! I have to take care of Zane" Logan said.
"And you're doing a good job. I just think you need a night off. And the guy I asked said his roommate loves kids. So you don't have to worry about him hating you for being a father."
"What do you mean, the-guy-you-asked?"
"Oh, yeah. I met a guy this morning on my morning run. We started talking casually, and then next thing you know, we're set up for a double date. I get him and you get his friend."
"So what's the name of the guy you met?"
"Kendall Knight."
"And who's gonna watch Zane?" Logan asked.
"I already asked my dad. He said he'll do it with no problem." James replied
***MEANWHILE***
"What do mean, we have a double date tomorrow?" Carlos asked Kendall.
"I met a guy on my run this morning, one thing lead to another and next thing you know, we're all going on a date tomorrow."
"What's his name?"
"James Diamond." Kendall replied
"I guess one date can't hurt." Carlos said.
"Exactly. And we have tomorrow night off." Kendall said matter-of-factly.
