Stay Out Of My Way (Scogan)

Let Me Take You Out

Logan (POV)

I made it home in one piece, not that I was drunk or driving like a mad man but I had an off feeling about being around Homelander...John, whatever the fuck his dumbass name was. There was something about that guy that gave me the chills, not in a good way either. He stared too much for someone who was supposed to be at peace with people, he smiled too much for someone who talked about not having friends, he was simply just weird in general.

I didn't even make it five feet into the mansion without Scott bombing me with questions, his hair was a full on mess and his clothes were rumpled. He looked....for the first time he looked worse than I do. Feeling those strong hands on my arms, checking me over with his cheeks too pink. Had he been drinking?

''Logan, oh god baby! Where were you? I tried to call you, I tried to track you but my car wasn't picking up any sort of signal, second time in less than 24 hours! Fuck, you had me worried baby.'' He cried out, wrapping his arms around my body while pulling me in close.

I was too shocked to make sense of anything that was going on, Scott wasn't drunk...he had been crying his fucking eyes out.

''You smell like booze and cigars, where were you?'' He asked again, wiping his nose with the back of his hand. I would have found that gross but he was too upset for me to think about making fun of him.

Shrugging him off

''I went out for a little while, had to get out of here so I went down to the bar. Don't worry, your car is fine and I'm okay. I had a beer, a slab of steak and some onion rings with fries. I left before I got into trouble, I'm fine.''

Scott nodded, wiping at the few tears that slipped down from his sunglasses.

''And you didn't look at your text messages?''

Shaking my head, I honest to god forgot I had a phone.

''I don't really focus on my phone like most of you do, could care less about it.''

He sniffled, his hands twitched some more.

''Let's go to my room, it's really late and I need to get out of these clothes. We can talk while I change.'' I couldn't just leave him like this, I was already feeling horrible for leaving.

He followed me like a lost pup, trailing close behind, feeling the swish of his hand coming close to my back side.

''Baby?''

''Hmm?''

''I thought you left me, I thought you ran away for good. I was so broken, I couldn't get help because nobody knew where you had gone off to, nobody knew where you would have went. Not even Rogue but she said you'd be back, I didn't believe her because I was so worried about you and being out there in the cold and where anybody could come along and do something to you.''

He rambled once more, we made it to my room and he stayed talking as I went for my closet.

''Scotty?''

''Yes, darling?''

''I never meant to make you cry but you know I needed some time, as you needed your space. I wasn't trying to be petty or make an ass of myself. I wanted a beer and something meaty. I went out and got that, I wasn't going to stay out forever. I'll always come back to you, do you hear me?''

Already in my change of clothes, I faced the other man. Standing shirtless in front of the man that I think I'm falling in love with, sweats low over my hips and bare feet touching the freezing floor.
