Oliver's pov

I avoided Logan for the rest of the day as I tried to figure out how to tell him. My clock beeped 6:45, there was no more putting it off.I try to calm down by convincing myself that I'm not going to say too much to him.
As I stuff the letter to show Logan into my jacket pocket I notice there's already something else in there, the photo from the storage locker which I had forgot about. I unfold it and I notice that it is actually three smallish photos instead of one.

One was of me and a boy similar looking but with brown hair instead of dirty blond and looking to be maybe three years older. I sigh softly realizing who it was, Gabe I miss him so much. In the photo he has me in a headlock while I'm trying to trip him up.I put that photo safely in my bag knowing that Logan doesn't need to see it.

The other two are also of me and Gabe but with two other guys both adults, one I guess is my father who I don't really have a clear picture of in my head except for the military hairstyle that I faintly remember. The other one definitely looks like family and I can't help but think that they look a tiny bit like a younger version of Logan. I quickly shake that thought out of my head there was surely no way.In this photo we're at a hockey match but I can't tell which one. Gabe and my father are wearing Montreal Canadiens shirts while me and the other guy are wearing Calgary flames shirts.

In the last one we're all playing a game of hockey in the same clothes but at a pond by a log cabin in what looks like Canada. I think that must be the cabin father was talking about.

I looked back at the clock which now read 5 to 7, looks like I better get going. The whole way down through the mansion I was really nervous for I had no idea what Logan's reaction was going to be, what if he freaks out I mean he spoke Creed with so much venom.I finally walk out the door to find Logan already there, looking towards the forest.

"What is this about kid" he says breaking his stare at the forest

I take a deep breath "Mind if we walk?" I ask gesturing towards the forest avoiding the question

He nods and then there's silence as we walk across the grounds to the forest.

"What is this about?" he asks again stopping about 200 meters from the tree line

I stop too and turn around to look at him before sitting on one of the many benches that are around the grounds.

He sits as well before I ask "Why do you think Victor Creed is Sabretooth"

Logan's pov

"About 8 years ago I lost my memory for a second time, this was 7 years after I went through the weapon x process and lost my memory Stryker approached me and offered me a job to bring in Sabretooth who he told me was Creed.I went after him not knowing that him and I had patched things up but he didn't believe that I had no idea and he saw it as me betraying him so he killed someone very dear to me and that is why I hate Creed"

"Thanks for sharing that but you know you could have just told me that Stryker told you"

I mentally kick myself

"True, true" I mutter

"You're wrong by the way a few days ago I remembered that when I was in weapon x they gave me a computer to see if I could hack into things. Which was a big mistake on their part as I hacked into their database and read about Sabretooth before they could stop me and that said his real name is Dog Logan not Victor Creed and apparently he was born in the 1830s"

"So then where is Victor and why are you so interested in him?" I asked

Oliver's pov

I didn't answer handing him the letter instead.It took him a few minutes to scan the page before slowly responded

"Why didn't you tell me earlier"

"I didn't exactly know how you'd react" I answered honestly "I knew you two weren't on the best of terms"

"Yeah I probably would have flipped out" he replied "How do I know you're not lying"

"You have no faith" I said faking sadness "Not that I blame you I probably wouldn't believe this either" I added while handing him the photos. He looked at them for a long time before finally nodding.

"I'm not mad at you Oliver" he said

"I'm glad" I respond.

That night I had my worst nightmare yet. I'm terrified and I can't calm down despite trying to for what feels like hours. I need human contact. I hesitate thinking about the humiliation of it all. I hear a sound outside my window and jump out of bed, running out the door. I hesitate again before Logan's door. I feel like such a child doing this. I hear another sound down the corridor and begin knocking fanatically.

"Come in" I hear and I quickly do so.

Logan is shirtless and resting himself on his elbows while studying me.

"What's the matter?" he asks

I shrug "Nightmares"

He pulls back his covers in a silent invitation. I almost start forward but stop myself. I'm not a child.

"Actually nevermind" I said backtracking "I can deal with it"

"Oliver, come here" He says

I walk over slowly and he grabs my arm and pulls me into the bed covering me with the duvet as he does so.

"May I hug you?" he asks

I freeze. I don't remember what a hug feels like nor what it feels like to be protected. My face is bright red and I know it as a jerk my head in a quick nod.

He wraps his arm protectively around my torso andpulls me closer. I roll towards him and breath in his scent. He smellsfamiliar, like what I imagine safety smells like. I fall asleep calm for oncelistening to his steady heartbeat.
