So this is the prequel I wrote to Burning Love and it got deleted by accident somehow. I am rewriting it and adding and taking scenes away. So if you read it before you can read it again if you want. I will be post chapter perodically. This is the first it's pretty much the same as the old one. Also this is T at the moment but it will jump up to M eventually.

The Ballad of Mona Lisa

Chapter 1: He Senses Something

Logan sighed as he laid down on his bed. Kendall was out with Carlos and James and they would not be back for at least another hour. Katie and Mrs. Knight He had the whole apartment to himself. He could finally get some studying done. He grabbed his text book and started reading the chapters they had been assigned yesterday. He wanted to get them out of the way so he could work on his paper later. He knew Kendall, James, and Carlos wouldn't read and they'd be asking him questions. For once he'd love to see them fall on their faces, but Kendall could talk him into anything. Kendall could talk Logan into anything for one simple reason, Logan loved him.

Logan loved Kendall more than anything in the world. Kendall was everything to him and helped him through anything. Kendall was perfect and Logan found that just unfair. He didn't know why he loved his blonde best friend, but he did.

Logan could never tell anyone any of this though. He knew Kendall was straight. He knew Kendall would never love him back. He was better just keeping his mouth shut. He knew even if Kendall was gay he would never go for someone like him. Logan was a nerd and not even Kendall's type. He knew Kendall liked blonde, Jo was the perfect example of that. She was gone now though. Logan was just scared of rejection.

That's why he was content to just be friends with Kendall. He could live with that. He had been friends with Kendall for years now, and he did not want to mess is up. He would rather have their friendship then nothing at all. He was content to be just friends with the blonde. He would not risk their friendship because he had feeling for Kendall. He knew there was no way Kendall could love him like he did.

Logan shook his head and tried to focus on his reading. He really needed to get it done before the guys got back. As soon as they got back his distraction would be back as well. Kendall was a big distraction for Logan and he didn't even know it. Kendall always had Logan's attention. Logan shook his head and tried hard to focus on the words on the page before him.

Logan was so into his reading he didn't hear the door open or see Kendall walked into the room. He did however notice when the blonde fell onto his bed. Logan jumped and his book fell to the floor with a thud.

"Kendall," he gasped shocked. He looked down at Kendall his heart was racing. He really had not even heard him walk into the room.

"Did I scare ya?" Kendall asked trying hard not to laugh.

"Yes," Logan said putting a hand over his racing heart. "Is there something you wanted?" he asked glaring slightly at the blonde.

"Yeah, James ditched me for a girl and Carlos ditched me for corndogs," Kendall said slowly, "I need someone to hang out with," he said shrugging.

"Well I'm busy," Logan said as he leaned over the side of his bed and grabbed his text book. He did not want to do this right now. He was almost done with the reading and Kendall was always a big distraction. He would never finish if Kendall didn't leave him alone.

"You can read anytime you want," Kendall said grabbing the book and setting it aside.

"Kendall I am serious, I want to get this reading done," Logan said making a grab for the book but Kendall stopped him.

"So am I," Kendall said, "now come on get up." Kendall stood up and grabbed Logan's hand. He pulled the smaller boy to his feet. Logan looked up at Kendall and their eyes locked. Logan swallowed the lump forming in his throat. He was so close yet so far away. Neither of them moved or said a word.

Logan's heart was racing still. He did not know what to do. He wanted nothing more than to lean in and kiss Kendall. He wanted Kendall so bad it hurt. He resisted because he knew Kendall would reject him. Logan wanted to grab a hold of Kendall and tell him everything and never let him go. Logan had no idea how long they stood there staring at one another. It felt like time just stretched on forever.

Logan's body was screaming to reach out and just touch Kendall. He fought hard to keep himself in check. His feelings were trying hard to break free. He did not want to scare Kendall. He did not notice the struggle within Kendall.

"Logie," Kendall said softly bringing him from his thoughts.

"Ye-yeah," Logan stammered unsure of what Kendall wanted to say.

Before Logan could think too much Kendall pressed his lips to Logan's in a sweet kiss. Logan's mind exploded and he felt jolts of electricity flow through his body and saw sparks fly before his eyes. He brought his hands up and tangled them into Kendall's blonde hair and deepened the kiss. He moved his lips with Kendall's not caring about anything. This simple kiss was everything Logan had dreamed of and it was perfect. Nothing else even mattered right now.

This moment was perfect. Logan didn't know what to expect once they broke apart, so he took advantage of this while he could. Kendall's hands moved from Logan's waist to squeeze his butt. Logan squeaked and Kendall thrust his tongue into Logan's mouth. Logan was in pure bliss. He wrestled with Kendall for dominance. Kendall quickly won the battle and mapped out Logan's mouth with his tongue. Logan never wanted this to end, but he knew it had to. The need for air was becoming to great.

Kendall pulled back and rested his forehead on Logan's. They looked into each others eyes both scared of what the other was going to say. Logan was afraid Kendall was going to punch him, but he realized it was Kendall who had kissed him first. He had started it not him. Logan didn't know what to do.

His mind was racing as he tried to make sense of what had just happened. That's who he was though. Logan was the groups smart guy. He always had to think things through and make sure he knew what he was getting himself into. He had to make sure there was no other option before he even took a step. When Kendall was around though it was different. Kendall could talk him into just about anything without him really thinking.

"I-I-uh," Kendall stammered bringing Logan from his thoughts again. He didn't know what to say. He let go of Logan and took a step back. He looked scared. "I, uh, have to go," he said. He turned on his heel and left the room. He could not face Logan.

Logan stood there shocked. Kendall had just kissed him and then ran from the room. That could not be a good sign, but Kendall was the one who initiated the kiss. Logan was sure of that. Kendall had started so, did that mean he felt something for Logan. Logan sighed and sat down on his bed again. He grabbed his book and tried reading again. He would have to talk to Kendall later.

What did this mean for their friendship? Did Kendall really feel the same way as he did? Kendall had started the kiss, and he did grope Logan. Logan was confused now. He could no longer focus on reading when he was like this. A part of him wanted to run after Kendall and tell him how he felt. Another part of him was afraid to do that. He sighed and set his book aside and laid back on his bed. He let his mind wander.

-The Ballad of Mona Lisa-

James and Carlos made their way up to apartment 2J. Then had ditched Kendall earlier and they figured he would be with Logan hanging out by now. They wanted to apologize to the blonde. They hadn't really meant to ditch him, but when it came to girls James lost focus of the world around him and the same could be said for Carlos and his corndogs. They entered the apartment and found it was empty. They looked at each other confused.

"Logan? Kendall?" James called out slowly. Logan poked his head out of his room before walking down the hall to his two friends.

"Hey guys, Kendall's not here," Logan said casually.

"Where is he, do you know?" James asked curiously.

"No he did not tell me where he was going," Logan said shrugging as he walked into the kitchen in search of a snack.

"He was here earlier though?" Carlos asked curiously.

"Yeah after you guys ditched him he came up, but then he left again," Logan said as he grabbed some fruit smackers from the cupboards and made his way over to the couch. He was trying hard to avoid giving them clear answers.

"Why'd he leave?" James asked following Logan to the couch. Something didn't seem right. Logan wasn't telling them something.

"I don't know," Logan sighed as he grabbed the TV remote and turned the TV on. He started flipping through channels looking for something to watch.

"Liar," Carlos said, "something happened," he said walking over to Logan and sitting next to him. Logan turned to look at the Latino a brow arched.

"What makes you way that," Logan asked calmly.

"Because Logan we've known you for years," James said as he sat down next to Logan.

"We can tell when you're lying," Carlos said as he sat down on Logan's other side.

"Look all I am going to say is what happened is between me and Kendall and it is none of your business," Logan said calmly as he continued to channel surf.

"What happened?" James asked taking the remote from Logan and turning the TV off.

"Nothing that concerns you," Logan said annoyed. "Now please just drop it," he said.

"No you made us curious," Carlos said.

"It's nothing really," Logan said moving to get up only to have James and Carlos stop him. This was getting on his nerves really fast. He did not want to talk about it. He was sure Kendall did not want James and Carlos to know about what had happened.

"Just tell us what happened," James said. Logan's evasiveness was getting annoying. He was curious now and he really wanted to know what happened. It had to be something bad since it seemed to be bothering Logan.

"Fine," Logan said giving up. "I was working on reading the three chapters that Mrs. Collins assigned us and Kendall came in and scared the shit out of me," he said.

"It's very easy to scare you Logan," James said laughing.

"Do you want me to tell you," Logan asked annoyed.

"Sorry, sorry," James said putting his hands up and leaning away from Logan. He had never seen him this upset.

"Anyways he was bored since you two ditched him and he wanted some company," Logan said. "He managed to get me standing up, and then 'it' happened," he said looking down at the floor. He couldn't bring himself to say that word. He knew if Kendall was here he wouldn't even be telling these two what had happened.

"It?" Carlos asked curiously.

"What does 'it' mean?" James asked.

"He kissed me," Logan said finally. He looked down at the ground not wanting to see his friends faces.

"He what?" James asked. Had he heard Logan correct? Sure, he knew Kendall had a small crush on Logan, but he never thought he'd act on it. He was shocked as he looked over at Carlos who looked shocked as well.

"You heard me I am not saying it again," Logan said looking up at them, "anyways after that he seemed like he was going to tell me something, but he left instead," he said.

"He kissed you," James said slowly.

"Yes, and the crazy thing is I didn't mind," Logan said his cheeks pink.

"Logan do you like Kendall?" Carlos asked.

"Oh come on I thought you two knew me," Logan teased. He nodded nonetheless. He looked down at his hands unable to look at the two beside him. He had just outed himself to his best friends. He was waiting for them to be disgusted and call him fag and hate him now. He was waiting for them to yell and walk away from him.

"Look Logan we're not gonna hate you because you're gay or bi or whatever," James said sensing Logan's uneasiness. Logan looked up at him shocked.

"Yeah, you're our best friend," Carlos said, "so what if you like guys, you're still the same Logan we all know and love," he said hugging the brunette. Logan smiled and hugged Carlos back. He was glad they weren't mad at him and didn't hate him.

"Thanks guys," Logan said smiling.

"What are you going to do about Kendall?" James asked.

"I don't know," Logan said, "I don't know why he kissed me. He's a hard person to read," he said.

"I know what you mean," James said, "but Kendall's Kendall," he said.

"That doesn't help," Logan said rolling his eyes.

"Tell him how you feel," Carlos said.

"I can't," Logan said, "he ran out of here, if I do that it might make things worse," he said. He had seen the look of fear on Kendall's face. He had no idea what had run through the blonde mind before he left.

-The Ballad of Mona Lisa-

Kendall sighed as he walked through the Palm Woods park. He had no idea what had come over him. He did not know what had made him kiss Logan like that. Sure he liked Logan, but he did not want to lose their friendship. He never wanted Logan to hate him.

"This sucks," he muttered to himself.

"What sucks?" a familiar voice asked. Kendall stopped in his tracks and saw Camille sitting on a bench a few feet away from him. She gestured for him to join her. Kendall sighed and walked over to her and sat down.

"Hey," he said.

"What's wrong?" Camille asked.

"Nothing I just messed up," Kendall said. He couldn't tell her he liked Logan and that he had just kissed him. He knew Camille and Logan had history together. He didn't want to upset her.

"Come on Kendall we're friends you can tell me," Camille said.

"I can't," Kendall said shaking his head.

"Come on Kendall I can tell there's something troubling you," she said softly as she put an arm around his shoulders.

"I like Logan," Kendall said softly.

"I know," Camille said. Kendall looked at her shocked. "I saw the jealous looks you gave me when we were dating," she said laughing.

"Can we go somewhere more private?" Kendall asked looking around. There were outside in broad daylight and anyone could be listening. He didn't want everyone at the Palm Woods knowing.

"Let's go up to my apartment," Camille said grabbing Kendall's hand and leading him through the park. Kendall let her pull him along. He didn't know why but he felt like he could open up to Camille for some reason.

-The Ballad of Mona Lisa-

Logan was in his and Kendall's room after dinner when Kendall returned. He apologized to his mom for being late and told her he was tired and went to his room. Kendall stopped when he saw Logan.

"Logan," he said as he shut the door behind him.

"Kendall," Logan said looking up at him. He was currently sitting at their shared desk on his computer working on a paper for class.

"Look about earlier," Kendall said.

"We kissed," Logan said simply.

"I know, and I don't know what came over me," Kendall said.

Logan stood up and walked over to Kendall. They locked eyes again, "I think I know what came over you," he said softly, "you like me," he said.

"You're my best friend," Kendall said, "of course I like you," he said looking away form Logan.

"No not that way," Logan said taking a step closer to Kendall.

"Logan," Kendall said.

"Just admit it Kendall you like me," Logan said as took another step closer.

So yeah there you go. It wasn't different that much but some chapters will be. I may even add completely new ones.

Always
