Sanders Sides One Shots

Let me explain, please - Logicality

Logan and Patton are soulmates, marks they make on their skin show up on the other's and this is how they plan to meet up just after Logan's 25th birthday. Logan is insecure about what Patton will think of him when they're days away from meeting. Only on Logan's birthday something horrifying happens which only furthers Logan's insecurities but Patton shows up regardless.

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

At 24 Logan has a little bit of hope that someday, someday he will meet his soulmate. Sure, soulmates weren't always right for one another, the whole thing had issues, Logan knows this logically but something deep inside him hopes and prays that when he meets that special someone they'll be right for him. He's gone about his life the best he can, went through education and now in his dream job, he should be extremely happy. But he's not. Because he hasn't met his soulmate is and that is frustrating more than anything else.

You know your soulmate through marks on their skin that transfer to your own. Logan knows his soulmate only through bumps and bruises, which happen a little too often so he concludes his soulmate is very clumsy, and through other marks like writing on their skin. This is how Logan knows who they are without really knowing them. He knows their name is Patton, he lives in Florida, he loves to bake especially for other people, and he loves to write stupid jokes and puns for Logan to see (especially early in the morning to make him smile as soon as he wakes up).

Logan thinks he's adorable regardless of the fact they've never met. They want to meet badly though but life has always gotten in the way, so, they make plans that after Logan turns 25, as a sort of birthday present, Patton will fly to California to see him. After he made those plans he couldn't help but feel dread, as the days counted down Logan's insecurities only got worse.

What would Patton think of him? Would he think he was strange and emotionless like almost everybody else? Probably. Patton is so happy, and bubbly, and sweet. And Logan doesn't want to ruin him. But he also doesn't want to drive him away. Plus he sort of owes it to him now since he's agreed and Patton has bought tickets too.

They text the day before his 25th, Patton is flying to Vegas around midmorning with a few friends and after the brief holiday he's not going back to Florida with his friends but coming to see Logan. Patton's texts are all cute abbreviations (some that Logan has to google to understand) and emojis most of the time, through the day his texts get sloppier and more incoherent. Logan just laughs at it knowing how easily Patton gets drunk but trusting his friends, who Logan believes are called Roman and Virgil, to not let him get too bad.

Patton calls him around five in the evening, and Logan tries not to be too nervous and picks up.

"Hello?"

"Lo, Logan, Lo, hi."

Logan giggles, he fucking giggles, at Patton's obvious drunkenness. "Patton, are you drunk by any chance?"

"What? Me drunk? No, never, I don't drink."

"Hmmm, sure alright, I believe you. How's Vegas?"

"Oh my god, Lo. It's so good, it's pretty and when we get together, more together, I'm going to bring you, we're going to have such a good time. Oh god, we could go on so many holidays together, oh my god, I miss you even though I've like never met you yet."

"Oh. Pat." Logan doesn't know what else to say, he wants to tell Patton how much he loves him too and how much he wants to meet him as well. But he doesn't.

"I know I'm so emotional. I just really want to see you and be with you and hug you, cuddle you even though you say you hate it but you don't know that because you haven't cuddled with me yet, and I, god, I want to kiss you so badly, Lo."
