TW- the homophobic f slur, homophobia in general, racism, a swear

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Remus whispered, fixing his hair that showed under his beanie. Virgil laughed lightly.

"Yes, it's just a small lunch date, there's nothing to worry about, I'll meet him with you and then I'll head off so you can go to lunch in peace," Virgil said, fixing Remus' collar of his plaid shirt. "Just calm down, it's going to be okay" Remus stared at him in the mirror.

"You're telling me to calm down." Remus muttered, stepping away from the mirror and slipping his shoes on. "Look, I'm just nervous, okay? He ghosted me all day yesterday then just randomly said let's go out for lunch" Virgil smiled reassuringly, patting his shoulder.

"Remus, I'll be with you for the first like, ten minutes. If he seems like bad news i'll get you outta there, I promise" Remus sighed, nodding.

"I know you will, I again.. Just worry" The two came to a comfortable silence, before Remus almost jumped out of his skin when his phone went off.

"Who is it?" Remus showed the phone to Virgil, nervousness rolling off Remus in waves. "He just wants to make sure you can make it dork," Virgil laughed lightly. "Just saying that he wants to meet in the park you two went for a walk in" Remus said oh softly, nodding.

"We should get going then shouldn't we..." Virgil hummed, grabbing the bag he had brought over.

"Yeah, it's a bit of a walk isn't it?" Remus nodded, putting his phone into his pocket and following after Virgil.

"I don't want to keep him waiting, ' Remus mumbled. Virgil shrugged it off.

"We won't be late"

"We're late! Awesome, wow! Thanks" Remus muttered bitterly. Virgil groaned.

"I didn't think we were going to be!" Remus looked at him exasperated.

"You stopped at a busy coffee shop because you needed tea!" Remus said anxiously, hoping Logan wouldn't be upset. Remus looked around the park, spotting Logan at a bench reading. Remus bit at his lip, tugging on Virgil's sleeve. "He looks content" Virgil looked at him with an eye roll.

"He's biting his lip, checking his watch every few seconds, and also, he is looking around not reading" Remus stared at Logan.

"How..." Virgil shrugged.

"I'm engaged to a therapist, Remus. Work it out" Remus shoved him playfully.

"Lets just go over" Logan then looked up, smiling slightly and standing in all his 6' 8" glory. Virgil blew out a breath.

"Damn," Virgil muttered. "He's tall"

"Hello Remus, is this Virgil?" Remus nodded, not finding his voice as always. Virgil cleared his throat.

"Yeah, nice to meet you. I'm Remus' best friend." Virgil said, not letting Logan's taller nature affect him unlike Remus. Logan nodded.

"I'm sure you know who I am then" Virgil nodded, looking Logan up and down.

"Lets go have a chat while Remus works through his gay panic." Logan snorted, while Remus looked at Virgil with an embarrassed whine. Virgil gave a peace sign, grinning before his face fell, looking serious as he talked with Logan. Logan nodded with what Virgil said as Remus attempted to calm down. Remus watched as Logan said a few things, before a serious and grim expression came over his face for half a second. Remus looked away, nerves flooding his veins.

"Remus?" Remus jumped, looking at Logan. He noticed Virgil off to the side thinking, before he nodded and waved by to Remus with a soft 'your going to be in good hands.' Remus looked up at Logan.

"Y-Yeah?" He asked, grabbing his shirt sleeve tightly.

"I hope you know I don't mean to hurt you in any way or bring you stress" Logan explained softly. Remus nodded.

"It's okay, I just worry" Remus said lightly. Logan nodded before clearing his throat.

"I am not... very good at dates and feelings like these, so I hope you will forgive me with any mistakes I may make," Logan said with a soft nod. Remus nodded.

"It's okay, I'm not the best at saying how I'm feeling so its going to take a lot of communication on both ends,'' Remus said lightly. Logan hummed, the two falling silent before Logan cleared his throat.

"Well, we should go to our lunch now, yes?" Remus nodded, following after Logan.

The two talked and walked for awhile, before Remus very hesitantly touched Logan's hand. Logan hummed, stopping what he said and looking down at Remus, offering his hand. Remus shyly took it, smiling nervously as many thoughts filled his head. Was he holding his hand too tight? To light? Was he holding Logans hand right? Was his hand sweaty?

"Get a room you faggots!" Remus flinched, dropping Logan's hand and falling behind. Remus didn't notice Logan's eyes fill with rage, or how Logan seemed to examine the girl before his eyes narrowed.

"Last I knew, what me and my date did was none of your business" The girl rolled her eyes.

"Get out of America, I don't know where you're from, but I know that you should go back" The girl hissed at Remus. His family was from Ecuador, yes, but he had been here since he was a year old. Remus shook his head, quickly walking away with Logan. Logan glanced back at the girl, before looking down at Remus.

"Are you okay Remus?" Logan asked kindly. Remus nodded.

"It happens all the time" Remus muttered bitterly. Logan shook his head.

"I apologize for that then Remus, you shouldn't have to deal with it" Remus shrugged.

"Lets just get to our lunch thing" Remus mumbled, not taking Logans offered hand, even if he wanted to. Logan nodded with a slightly hurt expression, dropping his hand again.

"We're just going to a restaurant I used to frequent, the food is very good in my opinion" Logan explained as they turned a corner. "They're very friendly people too" Remus nodded, looking around the street, looking at the only restaurant around.

"That one?" Remus asked, pointing towards it. Logan nodded.

"Indeed it is" Logan said with a soft smile, crossing the street with Remus.

"That was a very good lunch," Remus said with a grin. "It tasted like home cooking," Remus laughed. Logan hummed with a smile.

"I happen to agree," Logan nodded. "Now, should we go back to the park?" Remus hummed, nodding.

"I should probably get back to writing, my boss is on my ass again about getting this book out '' Remus said off handedly.

"I thought you were an author, not a newspaper editor or something" Logan said with a confused tone. Remus nodded.

"Exactly, I'm an author meaning I shouldn't have any due date. God, I wish my boss just conveniently stopped existing sometimes" Remus laughed. Logan nodded.

"What's his name?" Remus looked up at Logan.

"Why?" He asked with a light smile. "You gonna take him out for me or something?" He laughed.

"Sure" Logan shrugged, seemingly completely serious. Remus giggled.

"You're funny Lo, but no, he is normally a really cool guy, but his family is in a rough patch from what I know. I'll be fine" Remus grinned, taking Logan's hand with hesitation. Logan smiled, holding his hand.

"Okay, I suppose nothing will happen." Remus laughed.

"Silly goose" Remus said, smiling up at Logan. Logan smiled at him too, before looking back up to make sure the two didn't run into anything.
