Two Idiots in Love

Trusting Him

It was the next morning Logan woke up to make breakfast. He called the day off of school to deal with stuff. The stuff he needed to deal with involved a brown haired boy. Zenix walked out the room the hoodie covering his boxers just enough. Turning around for a moment allowed Zenix to see Logan's faded purple hair. He had dyed just the fronts. It was clearly time for a redo. "You're awake! I called in sick. I called you in sick too." Logan admitted turning back to the omelet he was cooking. "Yeah I'm sorry I was tired after panicking yesterday. What are you making?" Z asked. "I'm making you a omelet. I had a bagel and biscuit." Zenix made a face of acknowledgment when he was answered. Walking to the space next to the black and purple haired guy. Logan sighed putting the spatula down for a moment to pick Zenix up putting him on the counter next to the stove. Before they picked up the spatula going if back to their cooking.

Handing a plate to Z, Logan had finished the omelet. "Enjoy it. I made it for you Zen so it's how you said you liked them." Smiling at Logan's kindness Zenix ate the omelet. "Zenix...I need to talk to you about. Last night." Zenix froze when he heard what Logan said. He didn't want to talk about the previous night. "What about, you already know a lot more than other people do." Zenix said. "I feel like Noah may know more than I do." Logan said crossing his arms leaning against the kitchen island. Zenix just kept eating his breakfast. Sighing Logan broke the silence. "Listen I know you don't want to talk about it. But I need to know does this happen a lot. If so how have you coped with this? On your own...i know it's not on your own..you have Noah but even then. I know you wouldn't tell him everything." Zenix looked at his empty plate wishing for more food so he could stall this conversation. Instead his eyes filled with tears. Getting too full he started crying. Logan stood up uncrossing his arms. His gaze softened looking with sympathy. Xe slowly walked to Zenix putting xeir hand on his back. Zenix flinched away he had flinched a lot. The simple touch of Logan's hand was enough to scare him.

"Zenix." Logan softly spoke. "It's just me you're safe. Im not going to hurt you. Im not gonna let anyone hurt you. But please..can I see you back?" With a shaky sigh and even shakier hands Zenix took off his hoodie. Pilling it into his lap. There we dark bruises on his back. Clearly from getting hit hard by his dad while at his desk. "Hey Zen I'm going to take a picture okay...so when you do go to police or if you do ever. You'll have evidence okay?" Zenix just nodded. So Logan used his phone to take pictures. "Go get dressed nothing too fancy just chill around the house. I'll do same" Zenix went to Logan's room. This is when Logan realized his clothes were in the room Zenix was in. Logan knocked on the door. "Hey can you hand me the clothes on the desk? It's my work out clothes." The door opened and Zenix was still only in his boxers. "Just get them dork." Zenix said with a small smile.

"Your freckles.." "What about them?" Logan looked at him a lot. "They go from your face to your shoulders to you legs." Zenix noticed an opportunity to tease Logan. "So you looked near my crotch? Or is this your way of getting into my pants?" "No! It's not like that at all! I just thought that uhm. I'm building a grave." Xe hid their face in xeir hands. Zen tapped his shoulder. "Your clothes?" Logan hurried to grab his clothes. "Logan." "Yes?" Logan still wouldn't look at Zen. "Our lockers in the boys locker room were next to each other last year. You're fine to change near me." Zenix said this softly. Like he wasn't telling him it was a option. More of asking him to stay in the room with him. While he put on shorts and looked for a second hoodie. The one he had was wet on the sleeves from crying and wiping the tears away.

  Logan noticed Zenix wanted him to stay so he changed in the corner by his closet. Xe finished before Zen did. He was still looking for a god damn hoodie. Eventually Logan walked over handing him one. "What?" He questioned taking the hoodie. "Just take it. I wanted to give you a hoodie anyway. Now let's go watch a movie on the couch." As Logan started to walk away Zen asked him a question. "Why the couch? You have a tv in here?" Logan turned around. "I figured you'd want space to sit?" They didn't get a answer just a gesture to the bed. So following the wishes of his crush. The black haired boy went and sat on the bed with a confused look.

Soon he was laid back and had a brown haired boy's head on his chest. And by the gods he was happy. How could he not be! He had his crush cuddling xem! Xe could hold Zenix and feel closer than ever. "Zenix..can I tell you something?" Zen looked up at him. "What's wrong Logan? Am I making you uncomfortable?" Zenix asked. All he got in response was a head shake. Why is it so hard to tell someone your feelings? Logan just wanted to tell his crush how they feel. Yet they can't for some reason. "You've been my friend for a long time. But I don't want this to ruin our friendship. I want you to still be my best friend no matter what happens." Zenix started to worry. Why is Logan so nervous to say what's on his mind? Is it something bad? His thoughts were answer. "Zenix...I love you. Like I love you romantically not platonically."
