Summary: Logan hears James singing in the bathroom and decides to join in.
And Nicole Sherzinger can really sing this song...OH I drew a little sketch at the end of this.
"There will always be men in leather flirting with me!" James bellowed from within the bathroom. Logan blinked and looked over at the bathroom door.
"I guess it's Rent today," Logan murmured and hefted himself up onto the counter so he could eat his yogurt.
James' dulcet tones rolled through the bathroom
Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say,
"Baby so sweet"
Ever since puberty,
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls..I can't help it baby.
So be kind and don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Logan giggled through a mouthful of yogurt. James was definitely unique and lived in his own world. The constant stares sometimes got to Logan, had gotten to him yesterday, but he guessed that was what happened when you dated the prettiest boy in the world. Sometimes it didn't help when the guy's only identity relied on being pretty.
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me......
Take me baby or leave me
A shudder ran through his body at the soulful bellow. Damn, he could sing. With that thought, Logan frowned and stared at his breakfast contemplatively. His boyfriend had more than just a pretty face, much more than that. For one, he could sing. No one would ever dispute that. They would dispute the interesting universe in which James lived. He had invented an alternate personality that lived in his mirror and actively conversed with it. He'd gone so far as to convince the rest of them that it was real. Sane people didn't do that, it took something in the mind to create something like that. It wasn't for attention either, mirror James was around even when nobody else was, so it was pure James who created that person.
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks'd kill to fill your shoes
You'd love the limelight too, now baby
So be mine and don't waste my time
Cryin' - " oh Honeybear - Are you still my, my, my baby?"
There was also the idea that James had postulated a science fiction-esque concept of swagger. Based heavily in theories of physics and relativity, the postulate had impressed Logan when Camille had explained it in full to him later, fully enthralled herself. She had then showed him his recipe for toast. Logan had managed to pinpoint several advanced trigonometry and calculus techniques inside of it and had been completely confused. How had the supposed airhead managed to come up with this? In the end, Logan just wrote it off as a James thing.
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Logan frowned into space, recalling last night with a pain in his chest. Chewing on his bottom lip, he angrily threw the yogurt cup into the garbage and the spoon into the sink. Of course there was a reason behind James' song choice. He knew every melodramatic song that could possibly fit their situation and would choose the best one possible to suit the situation. Logan felt anger well up inside of him again, what was he trying to do? Did he want to provoke another fight?
No way - Can I be what I'm not
But hey - Don't you want your girl hot!?
Don't fight - Don't lose your head
Cause every night- Who's in your bed?
who?
Who's in your bed?
"kiss pookie?"
Fuck this, Logan thought and cleared his throat as he glared at the door. Just because he was hot didn't mean James could flirt around.
It won't work, I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby, what's my sin?
As if on cue, James stopped singing to let Logan take over. The dark haired teen found this bit relaxing in a way, as if he was expunging some of the negative feelings.
Never quit, I follow through
I hate mess, but I love you
What to do with my impromptu baby
On "I love you," Logan couldn't help but crack a smile, and he knew that James was smiling in the shower. The water no longer came down, but Logan knew that James would take a couple more minutes to enjoy the steam and drip dry before reaching for the blow dryer. Just enough to finish the song.
So be wise
'Cause this girl satisfies
You've got a prize who don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Well, Logan thought, he doesn't pick the songs exactly right.
Take me for what I am
"A control freak," James shouted through the door. Logan cracked a grin.
Who I was meant to be
"A snob, yet over-attentive"
And if you give a damn
"A lovable, droll geek," James teased
Take me baby or leave me
"And anal retentive!" Ok, that one had some power to it.
Logan found himself jumping off the counter to stand outside the bathroom door.
That's it! The straw that breaks my back
I quit, unless you take it back
Women, what is it about them?
Can't live with them or without them!
The last couple of lines were sung with a power that must have woken up everyone in the house, but had them so scared to come out that they just pretended they didn't hear.
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
(Who I was meant to be)
And if you give a damn
(And if you give a damn ya better)
Take me baby or leave me
(Oh take me baby, take me or leave me)
Take me baby
Or leave me
Abruptly, before the last lines could be delivered, Logan jerked open the door and stormed into the moist, warm room. James blinked in surprise. The shorter boy pressed him fiercely against the wall and reached up to passionately kiss him. James sighed and relaxed into the meld of lips and tongue. Tension flew out of them.
When the kiss finally broke, James tilted his head down shyly, before sneaking a peak back up.
"I'm sorry," he whispered gently. Logan shook his head and kissed him softly once more.
"No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things, it was really mean and jealous of me," Logan said softly, "Please forgive me, I love you." At the last three words, James cracked open a big smile and wrapped his arms around the other in a big bear hug. Logan groaned as his back cracked, but chuckled anyway and sank into it.
"Always,"
