My poor wall has been broken once again. This time by KelsieBowler4 . What did my wall do to deserve this? My wall is a good wall. Don't break it.

Anyways, they have requested an Analogical one shot as payment for fixing my wall, and so here it is.

Logan's glasses were on his desk near his elbow. His head was resting in his hands, his fingers in his hair.

He was so tired, but he wouldn't allow himself to sleep. He wasn't anywhere close to done with his work, he couldn't sleep yet.

And yet, he struggled to keep his eyes open. He needed caffeine.

After slipping on his glasses so that he could see, he appeared in Thomas's kitchen.

If I can just have one more cup of coffee, it'll give me the energy I need to pull an all-nighter. I can sleep during the day tomorrow, once I've finished this.

"Logan? What the hell are you doing up? It's three in the morning."

Logan turned to the source of the voice.

It was his boyfriend, Virgil.

"I might ask you the same question, Virgil." Logan said.

Virgil shrugged. "I'm used to lack of sleep. Anyways, you never answered my question."

"I have work that I need to get done. I can't sleep until I'm finished." Logan said.

"Can't you just do the work tomorrow?" Virgil said.

"I thought I would get it done today." Logan said.

"Logan, you're stressing over your work to the point where you're losing sleep. Did you remember to eat today?" Virgil asked.

"I ate." Logan said.

"What did you have, then?" Virgil pressed.

"A couple granola bars." Logan said.

"That's not nearly enough." Virgil sighed. "Logan, you gotta take care of yourself. Get some rest. Eat some food. The work can be done tomorrow."

Logan bit his lip. "I guess..."

Logan yawned visibly, causing Virgil to give him the "I told you so" look.

"Come on. Let's get you to bed. It's obvious you're tired." Virgil said.

"I'm responsible for myself. I'm older than you are, Virgil." Logan said.

"You were going to spend an all-nighter doing work." Virgil said. "I'm only looking out for you, Logan. Self care is important."

Logan planted a soft, small kiss on his boyfriend's lips. "Thank you, Virgil."

Virgil smiled at Logan warmly. "Stay here. I'll get you a blanket."

Virgil sunk out.

Logan yawned once again, and decided to rest for a moment on Thomas's couch.

However, in Logan's state of sleep deprivation, he was desperate for sleep. So, a sitting position turned into a laying position, and a single blink morphed into a mode of light almost-sleep. Just barely conscious, slowly drifting off into sleep.

That's when Virgil came back with the blanket. He saw Logan curled up on the couch, and he spread the blanket over him. He softly kissed his cheek before getting up to leave.

"Virgil." Logan managed to mumble in his state of semi-consciousness.

"Yeah?" Virgil paused and turned to face Logan.

"Stay. Please." Logan said.

Virgil didn't argue. He simply laid himself down next to Logan on the couch in Thomas's living room, laid his head on Logic's shoulder, and allowed himself to drift off into sleep.
