Chapter 4
After an hour or so Logan came to the conclusion that he wasn't going to warm up. He felt fine bit every time he insisted Patton took one touch to shake his head otherwise. He didn't feel particularly cold, although moving away from the heater wasn't particularly pleasant either.
Patton, after finishing his surprisingly short phone call, claiming it was the wrong number, went off to the kitchen to make hot cocoa. With the length of time it was taking Logan had to assume it was more than that.
"Oh, Logan?" Patton peered out of the kitchen at Logan.
"Yes?"
"A friend of mine will be coming over later, i hope you don't mind! He and I might be able to help you!" he smiled
"I don't need help, Patton. I really should be leaving soon anyways-"
"Logan," Patton paused, his smile wavering, "you were missing for 3 months."
"I-..." Logan shifted uncomfortably, "you must have the wrong person."
"Logan, if I am not jumping to conclusions, you aren't alone in this." Patton insisted, quietly mumbling "i really hope im not wrong..."
"I don't know what youre talking about." Logan folded his arms. Patton is silent for a long moment, fidgeting with his hair. A few stray flowers poked out.
"last spring.... I... I got tangled in undergrowth. Plants grew around me. I was stuck there all spring." Patton paused, then forced a laugh "I still keep finding flowers on me, its like I grow them!"
Logan opened his mouth, then closed it, eyes wide in shock.
"Oh, and my eyes used to be brown" he pointed towards his emerald green eyes and then winked. A timer went off in the kitchen, causing Patton to rush off. After a few moments, the smell of cookies wafted through the room. Patton returned, about to speak before there was a knock on the door.
"One moment!" Patton grinned, rushing to the door. There was a quiet chatter after Patton opened the door. Logan, unable to see the door, turned back to face the heater.
".... Logan? Lolo?" A familiar voice asked, echoing through Logan's head. He swiveled to face the voice a little too harshly, his head spinning, lightheaded.
It only took a moment before Logan was on his feet, tears burning his eyes. He tackled the voice
"You... jerk." Logan mumbled, eyes pressed closed. Suddenly Logan pushed himself away.
"What the hell, Ro? The news said you were missing! I looked everywhere for you! Even when they said you where most likely dead!"
