After last night, Wade and Logan stayed to chat for a bit, now that Wade was open to it.

  "I'm going to see her Friday night," Wade says, as they put their clothes back on.

  "Vanessa?" Logan asks.

  "Yeah, I'm gonna give her an ultimatum. The supermodel boyfriend or the superhero me," Wade shrugs.

  Logan nodded, pulling his shirt back on. But inside, he felt odd. A question came to him. 'What about us?' but he shooed the thought away as fast as it came.

  "It's just sex. He's just as replaceable as any other hole." Logan thinks.

  "Good luck," Logan says.

  "Thanks. You wanna come? For emotional support? Bathroom sex? Third wheel? Dinner?" Wade jokes.

  "You must not want her back," Logan shakes his head at the stupid suggestions.

  "No, I want you," Wade frowns.

  Logan didn't like the relief and disappointment those words gave him, so he exhaled a laugh and said, "Right," sarcastically, just to see if Wade might say the words again.

  But that was the end of the conversation. Blind Al was calling for Wade. The dog peed on the bathroom floor.

  That night, they slept in separate beds.

  And unlike before, Logan had an empty feeling.

  His life was going on perfectly. But now he felt he had a timer in his chest. The last tick being a week from now.

  It made him anxious, so he didn't sleep this night.

  Wade, on the other hand, was constantly thinking of what to do, wear, bring, and say on his date.

  Wade knows that Logan doesn't care for him more than a friend, and doesn't mind it, so long as he can see him naked. But once Vanessa's back, he won't need Logan anymore, at least not sexually, of course.

  He slept peacefully, and hopeful.

 

The Next Morning


   Wade has gone to the mercenary bar to talk to the bartender.

  He sets things in motion by spilling his idea to the bartender, but the biggest issue he finds is the one we all have for the most part. Funding.

  "Well, how much would it cost to buy this one spot?" Wade bargains.

  "At least 500k, for sure."

  "Jesus," Wade paces once before returning to his stool.

  "Did you do, like, no research at all, man?"

There's a pause.

  Wade looks at me.

Ha! Haha...

  Eventually, that conversation ends, and Wade ultimately concludes that he's got to have $500,000 to even consider buying the place out, and now he's just going to lay all that work on someone else if he can. Beast perhaps?

  I need to have this figured out before the date so that I have news for her. Hurry up.

  He walks out with no real plan, just an idea.

As he's ignoring the stress of uncertainty, he stops by the sex shop for his surprise for Logan.


  Logan was at the school, same old, same old, but today was the day they sent a letter to S.H.E.I.L.D. requesting funding for the school.

  "You're good at this, you know? Are you sure you still want to find something else to do for the school?" Beast asked.

  "I'm sure. Can't drink alcohol here," Logan shrugs.

  Beast laughs. "Sure. Well, I'll let you know if I think of anything."

  Logan nods with a closed grin, getting back to the papers.

  A few other letters went out to investors and donors, but S.H.E.I.L.D. would be the most helpful, seeing as they're more understanding of the school and its students.

  And just as the stars aligned, Deadpool was coming to the school to ask Beast about ways to find funding.

  Wade soon found that Beast and the board would have to get permission from S.H.E.I.L.D. to even disclose their contact information.

  "Besides, S.H.E.I.L.D. finds you if they know you're looking," Beast shrugged.

  "Thanks, Nightcrawler,"

  "No problem..." Beast didn't care enough to question or correct Wade.

  "I'm messing with you Beastie. I just wanted more screen time," Deadpool paws toward Beast, laughing at his own joke.

  But deeply, Deadpool rolled his eyes at the more work he needed to do.

  Here's a secret:

  Logan couldn't keep his eyes off Wade throughout the entire conversation between Beast and him.

  But that's between you and me, reader.

  The day ends early, as they're both waiting for responses.

  "You know what? We should just take a day off," Wade suggests, plopping on the couch next to Logan, Al, and Dogpool.

  "I've only got enough for us two, Wade. I thought you were gonna kick this asshole outta here already." Al was talking about nose candy.

  Wade looks at Logan in fear but Logan is only humored, watching the TV.

  "It's okay, Al. He's a virgin." Wade winks.

  "Fuckin' a man don't make you a virgin," Al slapped her knee to laugh heartily at her joke.

  Wade gasped dramatically. He shot his eyes at Logan to watch his reaction in fear.

  Logan was embarrassed for the most part but didn't care enough about Al to be offended or hurt, so he laughed along.

  "Wish you would've just gone full Hellen Keller instead of halvesies like a quitter/poser/demi-handicap" Wade says, very glad that Logan was taking this lightly.

  "Yeah, a day off sounds good," Logan says through his laugh, standing to get a beer.

  I bought a vibrator, you guys. Shhh.
