(COMPLETE) Love Isn't Conditional

Netflix and Kiss

"Sleepover! Sleepover! Sleepover! Sleepover!" Patton cheered as he walked across the pavement, clapping and jumping in circles in front of his father. Roman wondered behind at a safe distance from his son's flails – carrying the Disney suitcase that held both of their clothes and pyjamas for the exciting sleepover the toddlers were having. Roman, of course, was sleeping on the sofa that night. Patton ran up to his best friend's house, knocking on the door then stepping back and waiting for his dad. Roman texted Logan that the pair were outside.

"Hi Patsy!" Roman heard a quiet cheer as he looked away from his phone, spotting a small Virgil at his father's feet giving a wave to his friend then looking up at his dad. Patton giggled, excited to show his best friend the specific clothing he had begged since 2am to wear to the sleepover.

"Virgil – look!" Patton put his hood on of the hoodie he had decided to wear, then grabbed the strings and pulled it. The action caused the ears of this cat hoodie to perk up and down again, and Patton went into a laughing fit. Virgil followed the laughing, just quieter and holding his father's hand. After a few more giggles Logan and Virgil stepped further inside to allow the father and son inside.

Roman put Patton's coat and his own coat on a nearby hanger beside two other coats belonging to the two other occupants of the house. The kids ran away from the parents upstairs; Virgil was chattering about some new toys Logan had bought him for 'being a good boy that month' and honestly Roman wasn't surprised Logan spoilt his little boy with random gifts like that.

A slight cough made Roman turn from hanging his coat and lay his eyes on his friend. The nerd was slightly red-faced, fiddling with the black turtleneck he was wearing and smiling shyly. The look of the amazing man Roman had fallen in love with also caused him to burst into red and quickly turn away. "I – I – I'll turn the heating down." Logan stammered, running to the thermostat and fiddling with it to avoid Roman's gaze. He was obviously shaking.

"Uh... What's for dinner tonight?" Roman said, slowly stepping forward and sitting on the sofa to watch his friend. Logan took a deep breath and turned back to Roman, sitting next to him.

"I'd say whatever you'd like. I feel in a takeaway mood today – to be easy." Logan visibly relaxed, leaning his head on the sofa and smiling slightly, adjusting his glasses. "That's if you don't mind – you know if you wanted to take this opportunity to have an overnight date with that guy it would be fine. I get it."

"No, no, let's get takeaway together." Roman gave a soft smile back and also relaxed. There was a moment of silence as the dads listened out for their children's healthy, happy screams. He then looked at the TV in thought for a moment. "Shall we watch something?"

So that's exactly what the two did, watch TV together. They sat at opposite ends of the sofa, not looking at each other out of nervousness, scouring through Netflix to find random TV shows and movies they wouldn't have thought about watching alone. They enjoyed it, Roman found fashion and makeup competitions that he taught Logan about, and Logan found documentary after documentary that he geeked over while Roman listened – and fell in love even more. The entire night he just wanted to lean over and kiss him, including through their takeaway pizza dinner with the toddlers. Bedtime seemed easy as they shared the bedtime routine and eventually they were back on the sofa watching TV.

Roman was stuck in the world of Netflix until he heard Logan take a deep breath to make him look over. "I need to tell you something – well – ask you something." Logan said quickly but clearly, not looking at his friend and only at the screen. Roman sat up with a raised eyebrow – then realised this was his chance.

"Yes... I do too..."

Logan seemed shocked, his wide eyes turning quickly to look at Roman and face him. So the two were facing each other, as nervous as anything and trying to calm themselves down. "What... What do you have to say?"
