Ship(s): Romantic Logince and implied Romantic Moxiety
Logan didn't like feelings. For the logical side, they were unnecessary to solve many problems and come up with solutions for many of life's basic functions. So, he would avoid them, push them down and bottle them up until eventually, he became a dull, emotionless man. At least, that's how the others saw it. In reality, Logan's feelings were stronger and more harshly felt than the others, and all because he kept them hidden. The worst feelings of all were the ones he felt around Roman.
All the fanciful trait had to do was look at the bespectacled man and he felt as if he were melting. Heat would rise to his cheeks and creep slowly up his neck, turning his face red. His stomach would toss and churn, and sometimes it felt as if a thousand tiny insects were fluttering around in there. Whenever Logic received a smile or was at the butt of the other trait's lighthearted and well-meaning jokes his heart would beat faster in his chest and his throat would suddenly close, and he would have to give his all to choke out a reply. Logan was confused, because these sorts of things should have scared him, terrified him even. But, he always felt oddly happy whenever these things happened to him. And once again, it was ONLY with Roman, and he didn't know what that would mean. Logan had become worried that since he bottled up his emotions so often, his brain could no longer tell the difference between positive and negative emotions. So, to end his confusion and help him sort out his feelings, Logan decided to consult with the very embodiment of Thomas' emotions.
"Hmm...I see what you mean, kiddo. Feelings like that can be pretty scary if you don't know what they mean," Patton said, tapping his chin thoughtfully and looking at his friend over his glasses, eyes sparkling with amusement. Logan bit his lip, fidgeting with the end of his tie nervously and casting his eyes down.
"Just tell me what they mean, Pat. I-I...I'm so confused. Is there something wrong with me?" Logic murmured, and Morality's eyes softened at how helpless the other trait sounded. Getting up from the armchair he was sitting in, Patton walked over and plopped on the couch next to Logan, taking his hands in his and squeezing them reassuringly. Logan glanced up and let out an offended gasp when he saw that Patton was resisting the urge to giggle, his lips pursed and his eyes shining. Patton burst out laughing and wrapped his arms around Logan, his shoulders shaking with the force of his laughter.
"I-I'm sorry, you're just so adorable! I can't believe you haven't realized it yet!" Morality giggled, letting go of Logic and hugging his knees to his chest.
"Don't realize what?!" Logan practically shrieked, his eyes welling up with tears of frustration. Ugh, too many feelings!
"You're in love with Princey," Patton said, his voice softer, smiling gently at Logan and fighting off the last of his giggles. Logan froze, blinking, and shook his head. In love...? Why would he be in love with Roman? Sure, Logan had a lot of respect for him. He was confident in his abilities as Thomas' creative side, he could always make Logan smile when he was having a bad day, he acted like an egotistical jerk but was really one of the sweetest people Logan had ever had the pleasure to meet, he had a regal air about him that demanded respect even though he never really asked for it, Logan was one of the few people Roman ever opened up to about his negative feelings, he had a phenomenal singing voice, he was so very handsome in a way none of them could ever dream to be, everything about his just seemed to be so effortless and perfect, he always made Logan feel like he was important and needed and-
Oh.
"Oh no... No, no, no, no, no," Logan whispered, clenching his fists and closing his eyes, taking in a shaky breath and closing his eyes. "H-He...I can't be. Th-That's impossible! I'm not meant to feel those sorts of things. I can't!" Logan insisted, opening his eyes and glaring at Patton ferociously. Morality simply smiled and pulled Logan into a hug, ignoring the way he stiffened and gently rubbed his back.
"Of course you can, Logan. We're all human. Well, part of one, but that doesn't really matter," Patton said with a soft chuckle as he ran his fingers gently through Logan's hair in an attempt to soothe him. Logan shivered slightly but didn't stop him, resting his head on his shoulder and sighing deeply. Patton was right. Love...love was the only explanation. But he could not, and would not reveal his feelings to Roman. The creative side needed someone like his own self, like Virgil or Patton, not an emotionless, love-deprived freak like him.
"Whoa, hey kiddo, that's not true! You are not a freak!" Patton protested. Oops. Looks like he'd said that out loud. Logan quietly thanked Patton for his time, gently pushing him away and going up the stairs to his room, saying something about getting some work done. All of the bottle up anger, sadness, and frustration began to bubble up and Logan had to clamp a hand over his mouth so Morality wouldn't hear him sobbing. Patton watched after his friend with concerned eyes and sighed, getting up off the couch and storming off angrily to find Roman.
"I told you that you should have told him sooner!" Patton snapped, standing in front of the tv with his hands on his hips, glaring at Roman where he cowered on the couch next to Virgil, who looked both concerned and slightly amused at the conversation commencing before him. Roman swallowed and looked up at the dad character with a sheepish smile, shrugging his shoulders and sighing.
"Well, how was I supposed to know Logan felt the same? I was scared of rejection, Patton! That is all!" Princey said in a pathetic attempt to defend himself. Patton's eyes narrowed and he grabbed Roman by his sash, pulling him off of the couch and dragging him up the stairs. Princey yelped and stumbled after Morality, not wanting to trip over his own feet and look like a complete idiot. Anxiety smirked and waved at the two traits as they disappeared up the stairs. Patton didn't stop dragging Roman until they had reached the navy blue door that would open up into Logan's room.
"You better get in there and fix everything before it's too late," Patton hissed, giving Roman the evil eye before smiling again and skipping through the hall and down the stairs. Princey swallowed hard and stared at the door, unsure of what to do. Part of him wanted to believe that what Patton had said was true. Logan was in love with him and just didn't know how to handle his feelings, which is why he had been acting so strange and avoiding Roman at all costs. But, a part of him knew that Logan just despised his every-present confidence and egotistical attitude. He was stupid and needy, and Logan finally gotten sick of it and decided to stay away. Roman knew Logan probably had a thing for Patton, not him. After all, Patton actually showed Logan that he cared about him. Logan was so perfect, so amazingly intelligent and he didn't even have to try. He was calm, collected, and really never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was kind, in his own special way. Roman just...wasn't.Princey's eyes pricked with tears and he almost turned away when he heard a soft whimper come from behind Logan's door, followed by quiet sobs. Not even bothering to knock, Roman gripped the door handle and slowly opened the door.
"Logan? Lo, are you alright?" Roman asked quietly. Logan sat bolt upright in his bed, revealing his tear stained face and quivering lips. His eyes widened when he saw Princey standing in the doorway and he quickly tried to wipe his eyes, but tears just kept streaming down his face. Logic let out a frustrated sob and collapsed back on the bed, his shoulders shaking his his fists clenched around clumps of the blanket beneath him. Roman gasped and quickly knelt at Logan's bedside, resting a hand on the back of his head.
"Lo, look at me. Please look at me. Look at me, sweetheart," Roman pleaded, the nickname slipping out before he could stop himself. Logan just sobbed harder and shook his head, batting Roman's hand off of him and curling up in a ball, his back facing the creative side. Princey's eyes started to fill with tears and he sat on the edge of Logic's bed, leaning down and cupping the other trait's head in his hands. He turned Logan's head to face him and wiped away the tears on his cheeks, his face twisting in a grimace as Logan kept his eyes clenched shut and his body rigid as more tears managed to squeeze through his close eyes.
"Logan, please don't cry," Roman whispered.
"How can I not? As soon as I stop, you will leave me, your job of comforting me over. Then I'll be alone. Just the thought upsets me," Logan murmured, his voice hoarse and cracking, and Roman's heart clenched and he shook his head, gently caressing Logan's cheek with his thumb.
"No. I will never leave as long as you want me here. I lo- l care about you," Roman replied steadily. Logan cracked open one eye and glared up at the other trait, shifting slightly so he was on lying on his back. Roman's mouth twitched slightly into a smile when he saw that Logan had stopped crying and was giving him a look of annoyance. It immediately faded when he saw the fear, and the pure agony of one so deprived of love they didn't know what it felt like anymore.
"You...don't believe me?" Roman asked breathlessly. He could feel tears coming again.
"No. I do not believe you. There is nothing to love about me. I'm an emotionless freak that has nothing better to do with his time than correct everyone and make them all miserable," Logan said dejectedly. Roman's hands trembled and he tried to say more, but the words caught in his throat. Logan sighed and was about to turn back to face the wall when Roman lurched forward and grabbed him by his necktie, yanking him upwards and crashing his lips into his. Logan froze, his eyes wide open as a sudden rush of energy flowed through his body. His heart started to rapidly beat and he felt more tears, but this time he was glad for them to come, because they were tears of joy. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Roman's waist, pulling him closer and returning the passion-filled kiss.
Roman trembled as Logan returned his kiss with just as much fire as he, unable to keep himself from crying silently as arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer, welcoming his love and the contact and everything in between. It truly felt magical, like a kiss described in fairytales. There were no wedding bells or fireworks, only the feel of Logan's hands and lips that were his, all his to kiss and to hold forever and ever, and that was enough. The kiss ended sooner than the two would have liked as they separated for air. Logan panted, grinning from ear to ear at the red-faced and flustered royal. He planted a few small kisses on Roman's cheek and nose before nuzzling into the crook of his neck, barely able to believe that this was happening.
"I love you, Logan," Princey whispered, holding Logic close to his chest. And even though the other man never replied, Roman knew that he was loved as well.
"Geez, it's about time those two lovesick idiots fessed up!" Virgil said with a small smirk as he peered at the two traits through the door. They were curled up together on Logan's bed, fast asleep with their legs intertwined and holding each other close. Patton let out a small squeal and did a little victory dance beside the darker trait, who let himself smile slightly.
"Come on, lets leave them alone. I want some cuddles too," Patton said, grabbing his boyfriend's wrist and dragging him off to the common area. Virgil spared one last glance at Logan's room, his eyes softening. It looked like everyone had finally found their happy ending.
