The Favour

Summary: Virgil and Roman ask for Logan to go on a date with a neighbour he doesn't know, and explains to him why knowing he has a lot of brain cells. It was likely he knew already. Turns out he didn't - he does not have as many braincells as Roman and Virgil thought.

This is Logan POV and I like to imagine Logan having a no braincells moment after driving for hours over the evening.

The three gentlemen spoke in quiet whispers due to the sleeping kindergartener upstairs, Logan was given a hot chocolate and jar of Crofters in order to help him get to sleep later. In this current moment the three were chatting about a particular request Virgil asked Logan to complete. "What's bothering you? I promise I'd do my best to solve it." Logan spoke gently, taking a sip out of his drink as he watched his college friend. Virgil looked on edge and stared at his husband Roman for validation every few seconds.

"It's actually more of a favour, and it's a really big ask but we really need you to do it." Virgil was always unsure about asking people to do things, ever since Logan met him at eighteen, the perfect dichotomy as both Roman and Logan were very self-assured and confident people. This time Roman also seemed nervous though.

Logan had often been asked to babysit Nathan for a couple of days, that was actually quite a normal favour whenever Logan was around the area. But what the favour took Logan back a little bit: "We need you to go on a date with our neighbour."

"Excuse me?" Logan laughed awkwardly, deciding to take the request as a joke since the pair often pulled these kind of pranks when they were college-aged. "Great joke, really. Is there really no request?"

"No, no, we're being serious!" Roman stayed by his husband's side and also stayed on this practical joke the couple were playing – but that was half expected. "One of our neighbours said that if you went on a date with their roommate they'll do another... favour, for us. So we really need your help with this."

Logan decided, if Virgil and Roman had orchestrated this story to go along with their joke, he was going to play along to see exactly how in depth the couple had decided to go in order to get a cheap laugh. "Oh, and what favour is that? It sounds very, very important."

Roman and Virgil paused and looked at each other confused and cautiously. They were probably silently agreeing on who would push this fantasy story further. After a minute Virgil was the one to speak as if he'd be killed at one wrong word. He got the acting skills from his husband. "Right, I know you're like a psychology lecturer or something like that but if we tell you something kind of messed up you won't like experiment on us or anything?" That question was said with such haste and caution that it was kind of worrying, but it was all a part of the joke.

"I know psychology was highly unethical in the 20th century but it's not that unethical now. If you've commit a crime that's different, but I'd be surprised you'd be able to hide a dead body around Nathan with his eyes like a hawk." Logan smirked and crossed his arms, but Virgil and Roman still looked petrified.

But eventually Roman was the one to take a deep breath, clutching Virgil's hands and then moving the contact away, making Virgil's cheeks pinken. "Well, we're just going to tell you straight. We time travelled through our brains so we still have the brains and memories only up to sophomore year of high school."

Logan laughed more at that idea. God, these two were adamant on this prank if they were keeping at it. "Now I know that's not right, Roman would have given me a slap across the face if he really had the mind of his fifteen year old self."

In reality Roman was close to that when he saw adult Logan for the first time, and at the moment he wanted to slap Logan again for not understanding the dire situation his best friends were in. "Logan, I know how smart you are." Roman started, sighing and raising his volume slightly so the message was loud and clear. "What can we do to prove to you we travelled dimensions?"

Oooh, they were handing control over to Logan for this prank now. He could really make them do stupid things. He wasn't that mean though. "Alright, so, let's assume that you have travelled dimension or time travelled or whatever – what point are your minds at? Like do you know each other or were you already dating or were you just friends?" Virgil blushed a little at the mention of dating, indicating to Logan that this was a prank as Virgil only blushed this month when he was hiding something.

"The last thing we remember before coming here is having an impromptu sleepover after getting to know each other for the first time through a school project." Roman began, seemingly annoying on not recognising Virgil's blushing face. "Virgil came out to me as trans but I hadn't even come out to him as bisexual – you remember I thought I was bisexual during middle school and a part of high school? Yeah, I realised that label didn't fit me here. If you still believe I'm bisexual it means I created a rip in the time-space continuum and then I am properly screwed." Roman continued to ramble about the dimension he was from. And to be fair he had a point – in Logan's point of view when he dated Roman he identified as bisexual, but when they met each other again in college through Virgil, Roman identified as homosexual. Logan just believed that was a natural progression on Roman discovering more about himself.

"Don't worry, you presently identify as homosexual." Logan assured, crossing his arms over his chest as he thought of more ways he could find a loop-hole in Roman and Virgil's story. "So who told you that if I date your neighbour that all this would be reversed?"

"Janus. He figured out straight away that we weren't our adult selves and told us he could help us if we get you to date his roommate." Virgil perked up, pointing vaguely over to the direction of their neighbours. Logan had never met those neighbours before but he knew one of them was Roman's middle school friend, presently he assumed that friend was Janus.

"And how would he know the secrets of time travel seeming I don't believe I've heard a name like Janus in the world of time travel academia." Logan smirked as he finally watched Virgil and Roman break, as they stared at each other in surprise as if they hadn't thought that part of the story yet.

Roman mumbled and took a deep breath, sighing and whispering in a final begging tone. "Look, this is the only string we've got to follow to get back home. If you don't want to date Remus that's up to you – we don't want to do anything without your consent. It would be really great for us if you could just give it a chance."

That beg in Roman's eyes couldn't be faked, even though he was a good actor. It was the same begging look Roman gave Logan when they decided to break up at fourteen – so Logan could easily tell when a beg was authentic or fake. Still – time travel was just too far for Logan to freely believe even with evidence. Roman probably refined his skill for this prank.

"I'm afraid I don't feel comfortable just going on a date with a person I don't know well." Logan eventually said, watching the hope leave Roman's eyes just like the serious talk they had at fourteen. "Now, I have got to get an adequate eight hours of sleep tonight."

"Yeah, of course." Roman mumbled as Virgil started cleaning the empty cups without saying a word. He also had that gloomy look in his eyes too – but he started smiling as his wrist accidentally touched his chest. Eventually the couple cleaned everything up and explained the reasons for all the blankets. They then wished Logan goodnight before going upstairs together.

No doubt the three of them would be laughing and joking together tomorrow about how Logan played along with the prank. That's what their friendship was, and Logan valued the friendship he had with the amazing couple.
