Why Don't We Date (boyxboy)

Chapter 18

LOGAN

Logan sat in the uber outside the band's house reluctant to get out. The driver was already giving him weird looks through the rear view mirror and he was pretty sure he was going to ask him to leave soon. He was trying. All those hours he had to prepare himself did nothing, he was still terrified at the thought of seeing Daniel. Which was stupid considering Daniel didn't do anything to him. He did it to Daniel and himself. He destroyed both of them not the other way around. He sighed and closed his eyes trying to imagine the look on Daniel's face when he saw him again. He groaned out load at the pissed off look his mind was conjuring up.

"Hey sir, are you gonna get out or..."

"Yea sure", Logan responded to the uber driver as he anxiously got out of the car. He made his way up to the house, carefully keeping an eye out for Daniel.

"Finally you're here. You only made us wait forever for you. Don't you think we have work to do here too?"

Logan glared at Derek menacingly. All the shit he said while Logan was away with Daniel came back to him and Logan took a threatening step toward him. He was dead set on knocking the fucker on his ass.

" You little bitch, you better stay the fuck away from me or else I promise I'm going to murder you", Logan threatened him.

"Aww, are you still mad at me? Tskk don't worry man, I'll take good care of him."

Logan snapped then and grabbed on to Derek's jacket as he pulled his fist back.

"Logan!"

The shout startled Logan enough that Derek was able to pull free. Logan turned and stared into eyes he wished he could drown in for the rest of his life.

"Daniel", he whispered as his chest started hurting. Logan took a step towards him but like deja vu, Daniel backed away from him. Logan didn't miss the flinch either when he'd said Daniel's name. He really fucked up.

"Can we start the viewing Logan or are you not done throwing a tantrum."

Logan longed to knock the self satisfied smirk off Derek's face but he instead went and sat down in front of the television they were  going to watch the video on. The rest of boys came into the room then and they all sat at various areas in front the television. Logan tried not to notice that Daniel picked a spot as far away from him as possible but he failed miserably. Derek's started the video and Logan would have been lying if he'd said he had payed any amount of attention to it. His eyes were glued to Daniel and he couldn't find the strength to pull them away. It was like he was thirsting and he finally found water but something was preventing him from drinking and he hated it.

"Ok Logan, what do you think? Was the video up to your standards?"

The sound of Derek's annoying voice allowed Logan to take his eyes of Daniel. He realised that the video was finished and he hadn't seen any of it.

"Uhmm, Yea it's ok.", he answered. He'd watch it again later and make any changes that should be made. He looked back at Daniel and realised Daniel was trying very hard not to look at him. He hadn't raised his head once except to look at the television.
He got up quickly then, and said loudly, "Hey Daniel, Can I speak to you in private."

"What do you want with D-"

"Fuck off Derek! Daniel let's go I need to talk to you."

Daniel sat stubbornly with his head down. Logan noticed Corbyn moving closer to him and experienced a flash of jealously as he realised Corbyn was offering him support. Daniel was his! He was the one Daniel should want support from. As Corbyn raised his hand onto Daniel's shoulder, Logan saw red and he walked over and grabbed Daniel by the arm pulling him up from the couch.

"What the fuck Logan!", Daniel shouted.

Logan ignored his protests as he pulled him from the room, not missing the startled eyes of the rest of the boys. He got to Daniel's room and pulled him inside - locking the door after them.

"I said we need to talk."

DANIEL
Daniel had never hated himself more than in that moment. This was the guy that had broken his heart and here he was getting turned on by a little show of dominance  from him. Did that spell fucked up or what.

"What do you want Logan?", he asked tightly. He was surprised and proud at how controlled his voice sounded. He had no intention of letting Logan see how much he had leveled him. Logan who still hadn't answered his question but was instead just staring at Daniel.

" Logan! ", he shouted, trying to get his attention. "I asked you what you wanted!"

"I just wanted to talk to you."

"Yea I got that, what exactly did you want to talk about. From what I remember you already said everything you had to say and more."

"Daniel, just listen to me there's something I have to tell you."

"Why should I listen to you huh! What reason would I have for wanting to heat anything you have to say!" Daniel was furious now and was barely keeping his voice low. How dare this son of a bitch!

"Logan, just get the fuck out of my room and the fuck out of my l-"

The rest of Daniel's statement was eaten off; kissed off to be exact as Logan attacked his lips. He struggled against the kiss for a while but eventually melted disgustingly into it.

"Oh God I missed you", Logan whispered into his mouth. He kissed him and only when Daniel was pliant in his arms did he stop.

"Now are you ready to listen?"

Daniel nodded shakily, still dazed from the mind blowing kiss.

"I didn't mean any of those things I said at the house Daniel."

Daniel whimpered as he rememeber the words Logan had thrown at him. This was never meant to be anything. I have to get back to my life, without you. "Then  why did you say it?", he asked in a small wounded voice.

"That call I got, that was Derek calling to let me know he knew we were together. And he said that if I didn't bring you home -"

"If you didn't being me home what."

"He said if I didn't bring you home and stayed away from you he was going to destroy my career!", Logan desperately shouted.

Daniel slid onto the floor as his legs became too weak to hold him upright. His mind was having trouble processing everything it was just handed. Derek threatened Logan. Wtf! Daniel wasn't stupid, and although he wished it wasnt so, he knew that what Derek felt for him wasn't a normal manager - artist relationship and this just proved it. Logan! Oh God and it seemed like Logan had given up what they had for his career without a second thought. This was even worst that what he thought it was in the first place. He had thought he wasn't good enough but it turns out he was good, he just wasn't worth Logan's career.

"Ok i got it, you wanted your career more than you wanted me. Thanks for explaining Logan. You can leave now."
"No Daniel! That wasn't it at all."

"That  what was it Logan! You were given a choice, me or your career and you clearly chose your career."

"Daniel I-"

"Just leave Logan. From now on you're just my director nothing else."
