Of course I know that Patton has a crush on me.

It's just.. just safer to pretend to be blind to all of it.  To pretend that I don't see it.  To pretend that my feelings aren't exactly the same.

It is the only way to make sure that neither of us comes away hurt.

I mean - it's PATTON.  And all I've ever wanted to do is protect him.

Even if the thing that's threatening him... is... me.

Feelings. The bane of my existence.

I mean - all feelings are just a phase... Aren't they?  All of them temporary, no matter how much we try to convince ourselves otherwise. In the long run, not acknowledging the feelings I have for Patton and that Patton has for me... is the less painful path.  The safe path.

Where no one gets hurt.

Well, almost no one.

The others have developed this 'faulty logic' that I don't have feelings.  And I haven't corrected them - in fact, I've encouraged it, even though it is entirely false. I'm not a robot. Of course I have feelings.

I just don't let them interfere with any of my decisions or my thoughts.  Because... because...

I can't afford to get my heart broken.

If Patton breaks my heart... I don't think I'll be able to bear it. I know there is nothing - absolutely nothing - I could do to ever recover from a blow like that.  And besides, he couldn't take it if I broke his.

Love brings pain - they go hand in hand.

I just have to stick to the safe path.

Just stick to the safe path and no one gets hurt.

Of course I know that Logan has a crush on me. 

He probably knows that I have a crush on him. I mean, I'm not really trying to hide it.  Even him - who slacks a bit in the feelings department - can see that.

But... he's obviously not comfortable around me. Logan's just not ready to let anyone in his heart.

Not yet anyway.

But when Logan does decide to let someone in, I'll be ready. I'm willing to wait for it.

I mean, I'm not going to push Logan into it though. I mean, I can't make him like me.

Or at least I can't make him want to be with me.

But surely Logan knows how I feel - that's why he spends so much time in his room.  He's scared. Scared of what, I'm not sure, but still.

I just gotta wait for him to approach me, when he's ready.  The first move has to come from him.

I think we both know that.

And then it will be just like one of those Disney movies that Roman treasures to much and we'll live happily ever after!

All he has to do is somehow let me know it's okay. 

The moment he stops guarding his heart, is the moment he can be truly happy.

All he has to do is let me in.
