-Logan's POV-

Emotions. How does one explain human emotion? They're so complex and, really, are unnecessary. Take happiness, for example. What will feeling happy achieve? Why do we label this emotion with one word? Why do humans think that the release of endorphins is vital in life?

Up until a few months ago, this whole thing illuded me. You see, a few months ago...

<flashback>
"Hey, Logan! So, since today is technically your birthday, I got you a gift!" Patton says to me. "Patton, as much as I appreciate the gift, my 'birthday' is a concept made up that affiliates with the day I first came into existence. In other words, birthdays are inconsequential."

He frowns a little, but gains his smile again before saying, "Aww, come on, Logan! I think you'll like it!" I sigh as I unwrap Patton's gift.
To my surprise, it was the book that I had been wanting to read for a long duration of time now. It had a note that said, ‘A little gift from me to you. I love you, Logan! <3’
<end of flashback>

In that day, I felt myself smile, which is something I do very rarely, but it was somehow... Different. I wanted to figure out why.

-Patton's POV-

Logan sure has been in his room for a while... I hope he's feeling okay; I would hate to see him sick, or worse, sad. Of course, I don't know if he gets sad, but I'm not ruling it out.
I really want to see him again; I meant it when I wrote ‘I love you’ on the note I gave him a while back.

After about 20 minutes, I decided to get up and walk to Logan's room. I know he doesn't like to be bothered, but I just... I almost need to see him. I don't know exactly why, but I do.
I knock on his door, and I hear a very hesitant, "Y-Yes...?" from the other side.

"Hey, Logan. It's just me, Patton. I was wondering if we could hang out for a bit?" I ask from behind his door. "U-uh, yes, I suppose so." he says before opening his door.
He looked like he didn't get a good night's sleep, and his hair and tie were all messed up, too. It was kinda cute, if I'm being honest.

"Where would you like to ‘hang out’, Patton?" he asks. I giggle a little and say, "Well, first..." I reach my hands up to his hard and make it look nice, like it always does. This was somewhat embarrassing, but I liked it.

-Logan's POV-

Here's another emotion that I'm still having trouble comprehending: embarrassment. Patton was fixing my hair, like any normal human being would do, but I couldn't help but feel flustered.

After he fixed my hair, he re-ties my tie and says, "There; much better!" Patton's smile is enough to make me feel happiness. Or, at least, I think it's happiness; it has the same aspects of the emotion, but something is different about the one I'm feeling right now.

What I want to know is what that something is.

Patton takes us out to a public park, and we both sit down on one of the benches. It was quite a nice day outside, so I actually wasn't regretting going out.
"Lo, you okay?" Patton asks me, seemingly with no cause. "Uh, why do you ask?" I ask him. He turns fully towards me and says, "Well, you seem kinda... Off. I mean, you looked like you didn't really sleep last night, you weren't really tidy when you opened your door, and you've been... Quieter lately. Is something going on?"

"I... Yes, actually. I'm just... Puzzled..." I admit to him. If this wasn't a serious conversation, I'm 99% certain he would have made a joke at that.
"About what?" he asks. "Emotions. More specifically, my emotions." I tell him. His head perks up after I say that.

-Patton's POV-

I think Logan might be about to talk to me about his feelings... I feel so... Lucky? Is that the word?

"What about them?" I ask him gently. He sighs and says, "Up until you gave me that book months ago, I didn't understand why people wanted to feel happy. Now, every time I see you, I am happy. Except, it feels slightly different than it did a few months ago..." he explains.

"Different? What do you mean by that?" I ask him. "As in, the emotion seems to have evolved into something stronger than happiness. When I'm around you, or see you, or when you smile and talk to me, I feel this... How would you say, ‘fluttering’ sensation." he says.

Now, this might be wrong, but based on what he's telling me, I think... I think Logan has been slowly falling in love with me without realizing it. Oh, this is so cute!

Apparently I was smiling, because Logan frowned and tilted his head. "You're smiling." he says simply. I nod and say, "Yeah, because I think I found the answer to your problem, Logan."
"Pray tell." he says. "I'll ask, so you can find the answer yourself. Logan, are you in love with me?" I ask him.

His eyes widen and his cheeks turn slightly pink. "I mean... With all... It just... Oh, my; I think I am..." I laugh at his realization and say, "Well, let's confirm that, shall we?"
I pull his chin up so that I could kiss him directly. It takes a moment, but he soon kisses me back.

"I... I think I can confirm that I am, indeed, in love with you, Patton..." he says when we break apart. I weave our hands together and say, "Well then, would you like to date me?"
He smiles, brighter than I've ever seen, and says, "Yes, I think that would be an ideal circumstance."

-Logan's POV-

I finally understand the one emotion I thought was useless: love. I was so wrong about it; it makes you feel so... Good. I understand now why it would hurt to be broken up with, which is why I appreciate Patton's company every day.

Patton showed me how to feel, and I will always be greatful for that.

*sings awkwardly* it's almost 11 pm, and I'm tired out of my mind~

Hope you enjoyed the story! I might read over it like once for any errors, but then I need sleep. Hope everyone has a wonderful day/night!
