Summary: Kendall made a vow to himself to never date anyone in the industry, and that really does mean anyone: actors, directors, crew, anyone associated with the business at all. When he signs on for his next project with CP Entertainment, however, that vow goes straight out the window. Despite how cool and relaxed and playful Carlos, the director, is with everyone else, he's more than a little frosty with Kendall, for reasons Kendall doesn't even know. Just when Kendall decides it's not worth the way Carlos is acting toward him, Carlos does a complete 180. It renews Kendall's hope--even though he'll vehemently deny it if asked--and he's certain Carlos feels the same way. One night changes everything, and neither of their lives will ever be the same.

Author’s Notes: So, when we first found out Carlos was directing an episode of Big Time Rush, I immediately thought “yes, director!Carlos/pornstar!Kendall” and had bounced the idea around in my head for a while. What was supposed to be something hot and porn-filled ended up severely lacking in the porn and suffering from a heavy dose of angst and pain. There were many, many times I debated just throwing this fic out the window and forgetting about, but jblostfan16 was there every time, and this fic would not exist had it not been for her, cheering me on pretty much every step of the way, especially over the last few days with my deadline looming over my head and I was scrambling and panicking that I wasn’t going to be able to finish it in time. I also owe her hugely for snatching up this fic for art. Writing this bad boy has been quite a ride, and I’m so happy that it’s finally complete. Title from What You Say by Sugarcult.
