Two weeks later. Patton and Logan have hung out a bit more and Virgil and Roman have planned on how to get them together but haven't come up with anything.
Tuesday.
~~Roman~~
I sit at the counter bored out of my mind.
I HATE THIS JOB.
I hear a bell at the door expecting to see Logan since it was a Tuesday and that's when he does the coffee run.
I'm surprised to see Virgil at the door instead because I know that he wouldn't just do Logan's coffee run for him if he asked him.
"What's up panic at the everywhere?" I ask, also smiling at the nickname.
"Nothing much just another coffee run."
I nod at him signaling him to say the order.
"Large iced coffee, two lattes and a tea."
I start to make the drinks and ask.
"So... what about Logan? I thought he did the coffee run on Tuesdays. Also you didn't order a black coffee and I can only assume that's normally what Logan orders."
"Okay stalker..." he says while giving me a smirk.
God he's cute.
"Well for your information... Logan is very sick today and I wouldn't let him go to work." He says, his smirk turning into a frown.
"Why is that a reason to frown?" I say concerned.
"Logan is..... bad at taking care of himself on a normal day. So when he's sick he kinda just lays in bed and waits for death."
"Jeez... that's not very good. He seems so responsible though."
"Yeah he is... he knows everything about self care but he's always working so he forgets."
"So now he's sick and can't take care of himself and I can't help him because I can't take the day off." He says like he's totally given up on life.
I suddenly remember the last time I was sick and I laugh a little to myself.
"What's so funny princey?" He says looking at me a little annoyed. He must be thinking that I was laughing at Logan.
"Oh it's nothing I just remembered the last time I was sick and I accidentally told Patton then he refused to leave my house to take care of me." I say and laugh a little.
Suddenly it looks like Virgil got an idea.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asks.
"Uhhhhhh........ OHHHHH!!" I realize what he's thinking while I'm talking.
"We need to tell Patton Logan is sick" he says with what I can only describe is a plot face.
"I'll ask if he's seen you" I say.
"Then you say that I won't answer my phone." He says.
"He should suggest asking Logan." He says.
"And I'll say that he won't know where you are because he's sick!" I say and we smile at each other triumphantly.
Hopefully Patton will rush over to help Logan. Even if it doesn't get them to go out in a date it'll at least keep Logan alive.
I feel heat rise to my cheeks and put the caps on his drinks.
"Here are you drinks." I say and hand him them.
He stays for a minute so that I can text Patton and make sure that Patton doesn't see him on the way to his office.
Roman: hey pat
Patton: yes kiddo?
Roman: have u seen Virgil?
Patton: no I haven't sorry.
Patton: you could try asking Logan. they work together so he should have seen him
Me and Virgil smile at each other after we read the last text.
Roman: no he didn't because i already tried him and he's sick so he's not at work
Patton: HE'S WHAT.
Patton: SORRY KIDDO GTG
Me and Virgil celebrate our victory enthusiastically.
"Yes!!!!!" I say happy that the plan worked.
Virgil checks him watch and looks up at me.
"S**t I'm late... sorry princey I got to go. It was nice evil planning with you!" He says while walking towards the door.
"ITS NOT EVIL ITS FOR LOVE!" I shout across the cafe as he exits. I swear I see a little bit of red under that white foundation.
I smile to myself.
Definitely gay.
~~Patton~~
HES SICK!!! HE NEEDS HELP.
I text Logan that I'm coming over.
Patton: LOGAN IM COMING
Patton waited anxiously for a reply.
Logan: what.
I look at the text...
OH MY GOD HES DYING HE USED A FULL STOP INSTEAD OF A QUESTION MARK ITS WITHER THAT OR AN IMPOSTER!!!
I look at it again.
HE DIDN'T USE A FRIGGIN CAPITAL LETTER. CODE RED!!!!!
Patton: ITS OKAY IM COMING
Logan: patton why are you coming.
Patton: I KNOW YOU ARE SICK!
Logan: im fine patton
Patton: THEN WHY IS YOUR GRAMMAR SO AWFUL
Logan: fine patton i am sick and it's hard to type like this
Patton: ILL BE THERE IN FIVE!
I look up from my phone and run full speed in what I know is the direction of Logan's house.
I know his address but I've never been to his house. He gave me his address for emergencies.
I look up from my gps app and to the house in front of me.
Jeez.....
This is a really nice house.
I walk up the steps and open the door because it isn't locked.
Logan must be really sick to leave it open.
I walk in and look around.
Woah.
This house is cool.
"Logan?!" I yell, looking for the tall man.
"Mrrmmphhghf..." something says from a room down the hall.
I walk up to the door of the room that made the noise and I open it.
I see a Logan shaped pile on what I'm guessing is his bed.
"Logan?" I ask not sure if it was him under the blanket.
"Mrggnph..." the pile makes a noise.
I walk over to him and roll him over to get a look at his face.
Oh dear... I look into the face of practically death itself.
"Logan! You need help right away! I'm getting the medicine!" I'll be back.
I run to the kitchen and look through a few of the cupboards before finding the one with the cold medicine.
"Perfect!"
I grab a spoon and run into Logan's room.
"Sit up Lo, time for medicine!"
He tries to get up but can't do it. He really isn't well.
I arrange his pillows so that he can sit up and help him up.
"thank you..." he says weakly.
I smile a little at the poor sick Logan in front of me.
I pour some medicine into a spoon and hold it up towards him.
"Open wide!"
He looks at the spoon for a second and he reluctantly opens his mouth. I give him about two spoons. I turn on the Tv on the wall and hand him the remote.
He tries to pick it up weakly but fails.
I smile at him reassuringly and pick it up for him. I put on a documentary about bees because he had said something to him the day prior about wanting to watch it but he couldn't because of his work.
I see his face light up a little when he sees what's on.
God he's so cute.
Stop it Patton.
He shudders a bit and looks uncomfortable.
"Don't worry Logie I'll get you another blanket. I grab a blanket from the closet and wrap it around him.
"I'm going to go make you some soup so I'll be back in a bit." I smile warmly at him before exiting the room.
He gives me a smile back.
I love his smile.
~~Logan~~
I smile at Patton as he leaves to go make soup.
Ive always hated getting help from other people but maybe it isn't so bad after all.
I look up and continue watching Th e bee documentary. I'm actually quite happy that I can watch this.
I sit and think about how worried Patton was when he found out I was sick. That was very sweet of him. Maybe it was just his fatherly nature.
Wait...
How did he find out I was sick?
I only told Virgil and...
He must have let it slip out...
I'd be mad but...
I'll thank him later.
I'm pushed out of my thoughts but the sound of Patton coming through the door with soup on a tray.
"Got you some soup and a hot water bottle!"
He places the tray in front of me and smiles brightly. I go to have some but he stops me.
"Nope! Open wide!" me says and puts a thermometer in my mouth.
I wait for a bit and he takes it out of my mouth. I don't see what it said but his face immediately went a lot more pale.
"Woah... yeah soup was definitely a good idea."
He puts down the thermometer and hands me a spoon.
"Dig in!"
I take the spoon and try the soup.
I try more.
And more.
And more.
It absolutely delicious.
"Woah slow down Logan! You like it huh?"
"Mhm hm!" I say nodding frantically at him.
I continue to eat it.
It really does taste amazing.
Patton giggles a little and smiles at me.
I feel a little bit of heat rise to my cheeks. My fever must be bad.
I see that the bee documentary ended a few minutes ago and feel my smile fade a little. I look over at Patton.
"What would you like to watch Patton?" I ask looking at the smiling man who was now sitting on the edge of my bed looking at an ad for a wonder broom.
"Huh? Oh I don't really mind... What do you want to watch?"
"Come on Patton... There's nothing you want to watch?"
"Okay... well I know the Winne the Pooh movie is on today and channel 87."
I smile at him. "Channel 87 it is then."
I shuffle over to the right and pat beside to me, gesturing for him to sit next to me.
I see his face get a little red as I do this. I hope he isn't getting my cold.
He comes up next to me as the movie starts.
I look at him as he giggles at every joke.
Cute.
We watch the movie but after a while I notice that Patton isn't laughing at the jokes.
I look down to see him fast asleep on my shoulder. My cheeks suddenly feel as if they're on fire.
I must be really sick.
I suddenly feel extremely drowsy from watching the sleeping man.
I slowly drift to sleep.
Jeez this one was long!
Thanks for reading!
