"Woah woah woah, Logan wait" Roman put his hands on Logan's shoulders. Logan was shaking for a variety of reasons. His eyes burned with tears.

"You are my best friend Roman, you can't just disappear like that! I trusted you" Logan's voice got quieter as he spoke.

"I couldn't Lo. I couldn't tell you, you said it yourself. I'm missing, considered dead. Pat and I have to live in hiding. How could we explain what happened." Roman wiped away Logan's tears gently, "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you. Patton had to lock me indoors for a while, actually." Patton nodes enthusiastically behind Roman.

Logan let himself fall against Roman again with a huff. Either Patton was right and he was freezing, or Roman was a lot warmer than he remembered. Or both. His head hurt too much to think about it, sitting up too fast had taken its toll. Roman put his arms around him

"So, does Lo confirm our suspicions about this whole mess being season based? All we need is Fall." Roman asked Patton. Logan slowly tuned out the rest of the conversation, closing his eyes.

Logan as passed out against Roman on the couch, Patton on the other side of the couch. A player of cookies lay between them. They ate quietly, patton keeping a keen eye on Logan.

"I haven't been able to get anything about what happened to him out of him. He's very quiet."

"Yeah, Logan being a bit of a closed case is normal, he's not very trusting of new people. I'll see if i can get it out of him later.... God, he looks tired." Roman gently ruffled Logan's hair.

"Have you two known each other for a while? Friends, or....?" Patton trailed off, waving his hand as to imply the rest.

"What are you-.. No! No no, you're funny Pat. He's my friend. Dare i say best friend. We are not a 'thing'" Roman laughed. Patton, almost nervously, joined in. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh- no reason, just curious. He got real emotional upon seeing you."

"He's not usually like that-"

"It's rude to talk about someone whos right here" Logan sleepily mumbled, rubbing his eyes. There was a tense pause, and logan sighed. "No, I didn't hear much. And i don't plan on hearing much more.". Logan yawned, moving closer to Roman before falling asleep again. Roman snickered, rolling his eyes.
