[Logicality] ~ To Love, And To Be Loved

Human AU where our fave five are roommates. And shh, don't worry. I haven't forgotten about the requests.

"Why do you hate emotions, Logan? I get that emotions aren't always fun, but you hate and completely disregard them. It's almost like you're trying to be a robot."

Roman hadn't meant anything by it when he had said it earlier that day. He didn't know the reason behind it. He didn't know that Logan had chosen to shun out all emotions... He didn't know that Logan wasn't always this way.

Memories flooded back to Logan as he sat alone in his room, going through old Polaroids. There were pictures that captured his bright smile, though Logan remembered it to be a million times better in person. There were pictures of him playing the piano, and Logan could almost hear the medley in his head. There were pictures of two hands holding ice cream cones, and Logan remembered how happy he had been. There were photos of Logan, that he had taken and slipped into Logan's notebooks when he wasn't looking. Pictures of Logan ranting on about science, or books, or math... He always thought it was cute when Logan ranted about the things he loved. Pictures of Logan with his hair messy and his tie undone, but sporting a huge grin nevertheless. Pictures of Logan with little kids, because he had always loved them. Pictures of Logan at his best, because he had done a wonderful job of bringing it out.

The last picture was what got to Logan, though.

A picture of a ring.

A ring that was supposed to symbolize a future of happiness, a ring that was supposed to symbolize the preserving of this beautiful relationship for eternity. The ring was supposed to be a promise.

Supposed to.

More memories returned to Logan, but not like the others. These were painful, bitter memories. Memories of fights, memories of tears, memories of yelling. Memories of how empty Logan had felt when he had left. The place meant for two was now meant for one. It felt so big, and Logan felt so small. He had taken all of his stuff, but it wasn't the stuff Logan cared about.

I don't really care
You can keep the things we used to share
But what did you do with my heart?
What did you do with my heart?

When he left, Logan was devastated. He swore to himself he would never love again... No, more than that. He could never feel again.

But that was before Logan met Patton.

Logan had romantic feelings for Patton. As much as he tried to deny it in his head, he knew deep down that it was true. He had romantic feelings for Patton, and he had only felt this way about someone once before.

But it wasn't like there was anything he could do about it. Why allow yourself to love when it'll only end in more heartbreak?

"His name was Christopher Medina." Logan confided.

Roman was acting as Logan's go-to love expert. He was also the first one in Logan's current group of friends and roommates to hear about Christopher, because the engagement was cut off long before Logan met any of them, and he decided that the pain was better forgotten and not shared.

That might've been a not so wise move on his part.

"Wow, Logan..." Roman said. "You had a fiancé?"

Logan nodded. "The key word there is 'had'."

"That explains a lot, actually." Roman said. "So you're scared to admit your feelings for Patton because you think it'll end the same way as Christopher?"
