Play date - Prinxiety dads w/ tiny Logan

Sequel to 'Tiny tots' where Logan has his first day of school and meets Patton. He tells his dads about his new friend. Here's their first play date.

------------------------------

It's been almost a week. A week since Logan's first day of school. A week since Virgil and Roman cried seeing him off at the gates. A week since Logan made a friend. A week since Logan met Patton. Logan had gone in the next day and shyly asked Patton if he wanted to come around his house sometime, only if their parents could meet first. Patton agreed eagerly then pulled Logan off to play. They met that Wednesday night, Patton's mothers seemed really nice and were more than eager to let Patton visit them that Sunday.

And so Sunday came.

"Dad!" Logan's voice rang out through the somewhat quiet house. The doorbell rang for a second time and Virgil is downstairs in an instant, hand running through his hair in stress. Logan's eyebrows furrow slightly in a way that makes Virgil want to cuddle him but not wanting to embarrass his son, he goes to open the door. "Where's dad?" Logan asks, looking up at Virgil with wide eyes.

Virgil sighs, well aware that they're keeping people waiting outside so he tells Logan, "he'll be down soon, bean." Then he's swinging the door open, greeting them with an over exaggerated smile which Patton's mothers return, telling their son to behave himself and that they'll see him later. And they're off after kissing Patton's forehead. The young lad is in their house quickly, engulfing Logan in a hug which he responds a little late to.

Loud footsteps coming down the stairs direct Virgil's attention away and Roman's standing with them in the living room soon enough, linking his and Virgil's hands together casually. "So, Patton it's finally great to meet you!" Roman exclaims looking down at the younger boys, glancing between Patton and Logan. And Patton is still beaming, he waves a little and says a quick 'hi'.

"Do you two want to watch a movie in here while we go make dinner, Lo? We'll call you when food is ready," Virgil says, his smile easing up but he tries his hardest not to look as terrifying as he's been told he can look. Logan nods hesitantly and Virgil wants to stay but knows it's for the best. So, he leaves quickly leaving Roman to set up the movie for them; he's still staring into the fridge absentmindedly when Roman enters, wrapping his arms around his middle as he tells Virgil the boys are fine.

"Your dads are cool!" Patton exclaims during the opening credits, his body turned to Logan, legs crossed with elbows on his knees and chin resting on his hands. Logan shrugs, not quite sure of what to say, no ones said much about his dads before because not a lot of people have met them. Logan stops his thoughts as Patton's talking again, "your dad with the weird hair is cool, like really cool, your other dad seems nice too."

And Patton doesn't expect Logan to respond, he simply turns his attention to the television. He manages to watch fifteen minutes of Hercules before speaking up again, "I'm glad your my friend Logan!" Logan's slightly taken aback but smiles and responds, "I like that you're my friend too." They get half way through the movie before Roman calls them for dinner, so, they go and sit round the table.

They make small talk and the occasional joke, they get on. Virgil watches the way his son smiles more and he can't help smile too, Logan reminding him a bit of himself when he was young and this isn't the first time he sees himself in him. Virgil watches as Patton drags Logan back to the living room after asking if they can be excused. Roman grabs his hand from over the table and fawns over how polite Patton is and how good he is for Logan. Patton leaves after their second movie promising to see Logan tomorrow and telling him he'll ask his moms if he can visit his house some time.

Virgil doesn't stop smiling that evening even as they put Logan to bed, as they go to sleep themselves. Roman's right that Patton is good for their son. They help each other out, help each other grow and develop. Virgil listens and smiles when a nervous ten year old Logan tells him Patton is his first kiss, when his son comes and asks dating advice, and he definitely doesn't cry when they go to prom together. Crying just like it's his first day at school all over again.
