Age is Not the Problem

Chapter 1 : The Hot New Teacher

A/N : Thank you AkireAlev for messaging me that liked this story idea. Since you did, I have decided to start this story. I have many other story ideas. There are summaries for them on my profile. There is also a poll on there as well, to see which stories I should start next. It's been a while since I put it up so I'm gonna actually write the first chapter for a couple of the stories. I will use the feedback I get from those to see which I should update more frequently. Don't worry, Big Time Body Swap is still my priority.

Side A/N : Did anyone else see those new Logan Pics? I had Logan feels for the whole day. My tumblr dashboard and Twitter timeline were filled to the brim with those pics.

Disclaimer : I don't own Big Time Rush or any other recognizable copyrighted things. If I did, I would be able to finally meet them IRL.

Another Side A/N : Even though my OTP is Kogan. There is an incredible Jagan writer that has single handedly lured me into the Jagan arena. That's how it became my second favorited pairing. Clarry was the one writer that lured me. Her Jagan stories are my favorite. So that is why I'm determined to write a Jagan story. I hope I don't make a fool of myself trying to write this.

It's a brand new school year at Sherwood High School. Logan Mitchell is ready for anything that can be thrown his way; He's what you would call a well-rounded student. He's smart, athletic and definitely has a social life. What sets Logan apart from the jocks is that he isn't arrogant or a player. Although many girls and even some boys yearn for his attention, he's never been in a relationship. It just never felt right to him. There are many rumors of him dating Camille Roberts; To him she's just his friend. That's all she'll ever be.

While the hallways start filling up with students trying to get situated on the first day of school, Sophomores Logan and Camille are at their lockers discussing the hottest gossip about the "Hot New Teacher" who is teaching their English class. Apparently, he is an attractive, young man who is fresh out of college. They have no idea what his name is; it isn't even on their schedules. Mrs. Taylor, their original English teacher, had become pregnant over the summer and decided to quit her job last minute in order to have a stress-free pregnancy. It was a very last minute decision, so their schedules still said Mrs. Taylor on it.

"Camille it's just a new teacher. You act like he's a gift from God sent here to give you the biggest case of the feels." Logan exclaimed, knowing that Camille would obviously be crushing on their new teacher. She has always been an overdramatic person. They haven't even met the new teacher yet and she's acting crazy already.

"I can't help it. No one wants to date me. If I want to daydream about my hot teacher, I will. Got it?" Camille says dramatically.

"Of course. I know if I say otherwise, you'll slap me. Let's just go and we'll meet him. We do both have him for first period."

"I'm so excited! This is gonna be an amazing year. I can feel it."

"Sure you do."

Logan and Camille started to walk down the hallway towards their first period classroom. They were just chatting about the remainder of their schedules, and how excited they are about the new school year. They finally arrived to room 2J. Logan didn't know this, but his whole life was about to get a significant makeover. When he walked into the classroom, the first thing he sees is a face he thought he would never see again. There was no doubt about it. Their new teacher was James Diamond, the guy who was Logan's first crush. He vividly remembers their first encounter; It was when his name was still Hortense. It was the first day he moved in with the Knights; his newly formed family.

Hortense Logan Mitchell was just 10 years old at the time. His parents, Joanna and Jeffrey Mitchell, had recently divorced. Joanna had come to the realization that she was gay and she couldn't live a lie any longer. She began secretly dating Jennifer Knight for the past 6 months. After a whole bunch of court hearings, it was decided that Joanna would have full physical custody of Hortense, while Jeffrey got to keep the house. This is the main reason Hortense and his mother are moving in with the Knights.

Settling in was hard for Hortense. He was living in a new house. He didn't know much about the Knights. Ms. Knight who is recently widowed, has a son as well. Her son's name is Kendall and he is 16 years old. Kendall is also the captain of the hockey team.

Hortense had locked himself in his new room, hoping to avoid interacting with his newly formed family. His mom just told him that Jennifer will be his mother also. They got hitched and went through the adoption process without him or Kendall knowing. Jennifer Knight is now legally his stepmother; Making Kendall his stepbrother. How is he supposed to get along with them? He is never going to have anything in common with a 16 year old jock. Hortense is only 10 years old and nerdy. He is cursed with the silly name of Hortense for goodness sake. He told his mother he would rather go by his middle name, Logan. Luckily, his mother agreed that if he still wanted to change his name after he turns 12, he could change it to Logan; That way he could change it before heading to middle school.

After realizing that he couldn't avoid the inevitable, he decided to venture out of his room to officially meet his stepbrother. Taking one step out of his room, he encounters two shirtless boys talking in the hallway. They looked his way and continued to converse quietly. One of the boys is a tall, blond, had bushy eyebrows, and looked lean and toned. Hortense immediately recognized him as Kendall. His mom has shown him countless pictures of Kendall. The other boy is much taller, with chestnut brown hair with incredible hazel eyes. He has an amazing body. If he didn't believe in love a first sight, he sure did now. Even at 10 years old, Hortense knew that his feelings at this moment aren't something a normal kid his age would be feeling. Taking into consideration that his mom has a female partner, he isn't appalled by the idea of being gay. He just wishes they could have met on different circumstances. He remembered the first thing he heard James ever say, "So that's your dorky stepbrother, Hortense? You're right Kendall, that is a stupid name." Although it was said quietly to Kendall, Hortense could hear it loud and clear. James is Kendall's best friend. At least now he has something that he could look forward to with this new family.

Logan quickly snaps back to reality as the tardy bell rings loudly. He immediately sits at the open desk next to Camille. He is in total shock that James is their new English teacher. He wonders if James even remembers him. The truth is that he probably doesn't. James knows him only as Hortense; Not Logan. By the time his mom let him change his name, Kendall and James had both graduated and were off to college. This is either the universe giving him another chance to give a good first impression to James, or the universe screwing him over by bringing something back into his life that will never be his. Logan suddenly felt like this year was gonna be a doozy, whether he liked it or not.

"Good morning class. My name is Mr. Diamond, and I'm gonna be your English teacher for this year. As you may have heard, I'm replacing Mrs. Taylor. I hope we will have a wonderful year together. Now lets get started. Since today is the first day, just chill and talk amongst yourselves quietly. I will be calling everyone up to my desk one at a time, firstly to put faces to these names on the attendance sheet so I can check who's here and who's absent. I also want you to answer a few questions to understand what your learning styles are so I can teach you all in a way that works best for you. I'm not like most teachers, I understand that some of you learn easier by visual, some auditory. So I'll try my best in order to give you the best education possible, and in return you can try to do your best on each and every assignment."

Logan at this moment was slightly freaking out. He doesn't know how he was gonna handle talking to James one on one. He hasn't spoken to him since Kendall's grad party. He was deciding whether he should let James know that he was Hortense or not. But eventually he decides it was best to start fresh. He instantly conjures up a plan. He just hopes it works.

"Logan Mitchell" James calls. It's time for his plan to go into action. He is super excited. He already knew James like the back of his hands. Of course James could have changed during college, but for the most part Logan knew him. His likes, dislikes. He also remembers the time he overheard James confess to Kendall that he was gay. Although it was more like spying/eavesdropping. Logan plans on having some fun.

"Have a seat Logan." James said. Logan then sat down, awaiting for the numerous questions to be asked.

"So Logan, are you more of a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner?"

"Definitely more of an auditory learner. I feel like I can grasp concepts better when I hear it. Especially if it's coming from someone who is passionate about the subject. You get more eager to learn from a passionate voice than cold text in a book. I can tell you're passionate about teaching." Logan said taking into consideration that if the class was more auditory then he could hear James' voice more, instead of it being one of those classes that you get a packet, write notes and have no interaction with the teacher whatsoever.

"Thanks. I've always wanted to teach. How can you sense that? You only met me today." James had asked, sensing something familiar about this student, but couldn't put a finger on it.

"I'm good at reading people. I'm more observant than most people. Don't worry. I won't tell them you're gay." Logan smirked.

"Well aren't you intuitive. You are actually scaring me a little bit. How can you tell? I usually send off the player vibe, the one that screws all the chicks. Well that's the vibe I sent off in high school. Wait just a sec. We're getting off topic. Why am I telling you this? I don't know why, but I feel very comfortable talking to you. Forgive me for being unprofessional."

"Why? I was the one who mentioned it, and like I said earlier, I'm very observant. Plus if you were straight you would be married by now. No girl could resist your sexiness. Probably would be addicted to you. I know I would." Logan said lustfully slightly moaning at the end.

"Um. Logan that's highly inappropriate."

"So. What are you gonna do about it? Give me detention. That's actually not a bad idea. All alone in this classroom, just you and me. You know what, just think about it. I'll be here all year." Logan moaned quietly so that the other students didn't hear him. He would've been more physical if they were alone.

"Not gonna happen." James not budging one bit. He would be lying if he said he didn't want to do anything with Logan. He felt the chemistry and the lustful attraction. He never had anyone lay it on this thick to him. But he couldn't do it, his job would be in jeopardy. Too bad Logan had a well thought out plan, or James' decision would've ended it.

"Fine. I'm gonna leave, just try and stop me." Logan started walking to the exit knowing what was gonna happen. As soon as he was almost out of the room, James began to speak.

"Logan. Where do you think you are going? Class isn't over yet. Get back to your seat." James yelled. He then caught on what was happening. At that moment James knew he was trapped into the idea of detention with Logan.

"No. I will not. What are you gonna do? Give me detention?" Logan asked knowing he just won.

"Of course you'll get detention. You can't just leave during the middle of class."

"Yes I can, and I am leaving this class. I'll see you during detention later, Mr. Diamond." Logan said. Logan than walked out of the classroom then turned to go down the hallway. The plan had gone off without a hitch. He then went into the bathroom to figure out what he was gonna do next. He was also gonna freak out a little. He had just been so upfront with James. He was flirting with him. He could also tell that James liked him. He could see James fighting his lustful feelings in order to be professional. Too bad Logan was basically a certifiable genius. No one could outsmart him. So when he planned on having some one on one time with James alone during detention, it was gonna happen no matter what.

The next few hours were uneventful. He was trying to avoid talking to Camille because of what happened. Camille would obviously hound him for answers. It was unlike Logan to defy authority and leave class. He was doing a good job at avoiding her until lunchtime. The moment he entered the lunchroom the curly haired brunette grabbed him by the arms, and dragged him to a table.

"What the hell was that during first period? You left the classroom! That's so not you! What the hell triggered that?" Camille's beyond furious right now. She's practically fuming, and a angry Camille is a scary thing.

"Camille stop yelling. If you must know, I was just on edge. He reminds me of this douche my stepbrother was friends with. He acts so nice and sweet, but on the inside he's bad. So I projected my thoughts of that douche on him. I lost it." Logan stated. He's hoping that Camille is buying his lie right now. He doesn't know what other explanation he can give to convince her.

"You did lose it, big time. Well hopefully you can get him to see you in a better light. You are one of the smartest students in this school. You'll be fine. Just don't flip out on him again."

"You're right. I just need to relax. I guess I have to go to detention after school. This will be a fun experience. Maybe I can help him understand where I was coming from during class."

"You should definitely do that." I was so glad that Camille believed my lie. He's gonna take Camille's advice, and make James know why he acted the way he did during class. He has to see me as a potential boyfriend. Whenever I set my mind to something, I get it. This is just another thing to set my mind to. No matter how long it takes, I'm never giving up on the hopes that James Diamond will be a part of my future. He was my first crush. I have to explore this, whether it's right or wrong. When he was younger he wanted James to be his first boyfriend. In reality it hasn't changed. Logan knew that since the slate was clean, it could work out. As Hortense he had no chance, but as Logan he could see this going all the way. That's the way he wanted it. He hopes this works out the way he wants it to.

The rest of the day was a blur to Logan. The only thing he thought of besides James, was that his best friend Carlos Garcia, who wasn't here today. He was coming back from Florida this afternoon. He had visited some of his family that was there. He definitely needed Carlos right now. He was friends with Carlos for a very long time. Carlos was the only one who knew of his crush on James. They had bonded over the whole in love with an older guy thing. When they were younger Carlos had a crush on Kendall. They both loved hanging out at the Knight residence. Carlos could gawk over Kendall, while Logan did the same to James.

It's so strange that this was happening now. He used to gawk over James and now he could sense that something was gonna happen between them. Carlos was gonna talk his ear off when they end up talking about it. He wouldn't even be able to lie to Carlos. Carlos always saw through his lies. He's gonna have to be honest about it.

School was done and it was time for Logan to go to detention. He was super excited to have some alone time with James. He wasn't sure how it was gonna go down, but he thinks he should start by setting the goal to kissing for today. Having sex today would've be too fast for his liking. He walked into the classroom to see James pacing back and forth. Logan closed the door and locked it. The noise had alerted James that he was there.

"Hello James." Logan said, staring at James starting to shorten the distance between them.

"Logan, It's Mr. Diamond to you, and take your seat." James said with a slight tinge of anger.

"No. I'm not backing down. If you want me to stop, look straight into my eyes and tell me sincerely that you don't have feelings for me. That you don't want to pursue this relationship. If you can do that, then I will leave you alone." Logan stated. Logan decides to take it a little farther. He starts by flushing himself up against James. Then he proceeds to put his hand on James inner thigh, slightly stroking it, occasionally hitting the prominent bulge forming in the teacher pants. He could hear James attempting to stifle a moan. Logan knew James wouldn't be able to do it. He had James wrapped around his finger.

"You know I can't say that. I do have feelings for you, but it's wrong to do this. You're still a minor, and an incredibly attractive one. Why do you have to be so honest about liking me? This would be so much easier if you were just crushing on me from your seat, where I can do no harm. Has anyone told you that you're hard to resist?" James is totally losing it right now. He doesn't know how to handle this. He hates to admit it, but he's a virgin. It was hard to lose his virginity, when the whole school thought you were screwing every girl he met.

"No, I haven't been told that. I've never been in a relationship before, but when I saw you, and we started speaking I couldn't control myself. It's like when you're near me I can't control myself. I have turned down dozens of girls and a few guys as well. I always felt that if I wanted a relationship with someone, I would feel the pull that draws me to the person. I feel that with you. I know I'm still a minor, but I would like to try this. We don't even need to have sex. I wouldn't want you to be arrested for statutory rape. I just want us to know each other better and maybe get some kissing. Plus I'm a virgin, so I want to wait till I'm out of high school to do that. But if you wanted other things like blow jobs, and hand jobs, I'm up for it. There's no penetration so it's all good. Please! I've never wanted something so badly before in my life. I feel it. You feel it. There's chemistry here and I don't want to fight it." Logan's winging it at this point. The slight begging wasn't part of the plan. The "Hortense" part of him was worried that he wouldn't get James to agree.

"You're right. I do feel it. I can feel myself losing it. No one has ever made me feel the way you do. Don't worry, I'm also a virgin. You don't have to believe me, but it's true. I want to try this too. But no one and I mean no one can know about this. It's between you and me. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't want to fight this either. Just please nothing can happen during school. We can only do this at my apartment. We can't take any chances. Do you understand?"

"Yes. I understand. Is it okay if we kiss right now."

"You don't even have to ask." At that moment the two brunets leaned their faces closer to each other. Their breathing getting more heavy and heated. They closed the distance between them and when their lips touched, it seemed as if there was nothing else that mattered. They began to heavily make out. James cupped his hands around Logan's face. Logan wrapped his arms around James' neck. Their lips moving together in synchronicity. It was about 10 minutes later, when they stopped kissing.

"How about we continue this at my apartment?" James asked.

"You already know my answer. Let's get going. You're amazing. I'm glad you're giving us a chance." Logan feeling giddy. The person he had wanted for the past 6 years was finally with him.

"Me too." They left the classroom, heading down the hallway to find the exit. Luckily the hallways were empty. They had made it to the James' car without anyone seeing them. They were cruising down the streets, and going towards James' apartment. Logan's phone then beeps alerting him of a text. He sees that it's from Carlos.

Just landed. I'm excited to see you. Can I come over? How was your first day back at school? :)

Logan was used to Carlos' talkative nature. He was even a talkative when he texted. Logan just answered with a vague answer. He knew James didn't want him to talk about it. It was gonna be hard, but he wanted this to work out. If that meant keeping Carlos out of the loop, then so be it.

Good. Camille was being her usual dramatic self. Nothing too significant. I'm kind of busy right now Carlos. Maybe later tonight. Text me later when you're all unpacked.

Ok. I'm so excited to start school. So... how do you feel about Kendall coming back next week? Do you know if he's seeing anyone? Don't need to answer now. We'll talk about it later tonight.

The first thing on his mind when he read that text was "Shit. I forgot he was coming back. I just got James. I'm not about to lose James because of him. I need to think of a plan asap."

A/N : Thanks for reading the first chapter of "Age is Not the Problem" This story is not gonna focus on the age difference aspect as much as other plot points. Like the title says, age is not the problem. Also if you want Kenlos to happen as a side plot, please mention it in your review. i'm not sure if I just want to keep it one-sided or not. If you want to, you can follow me on twitter and tumblr. My links are located on my profile as well. You can be updated on when I'm working on things, or what my progress is at for the stories. Hope you have a wonderful day.
