Yes, another one-shot book.
These fics will most likely be platonic Prinxiety and Logicality with general hurt/comfort between them as a family. Edit: jk there is romance in here.

Everyone pretty much knew who Logan Sanders was. He was an influential politician, the youngest in Congress even, and although he wasn't well-liked as a person, his vote was one that was extremely sought after. As one of the most bipartisan congressmen, and a persuasive one at that, people were always following his opinions.
He was rather impartial, which was one of the reasons he was voted into Congress in the first place. His unbiased opinions allowed for a truer resolution out of his side of the vote, which always won. Despite being the youngest, he'd been dubbed as the wisest in Congress, with many other voters simply following whatever he thought best.
Long story short, he was powerful, influential, and intelligent. One thing he was never known as, was personable.
Imagine the shock on the news when the professional Logan Sanders was outed as a married man, and a gay one at that.
Despite not being the most popular of opinions, this fact didn't destroy his reputation at all, like he had feared. In fact, his following had increased since it was revealed; the public liked to learn that he wasn't just a robotic politician, but also the loving husband of one Patton Sanders.
The revealed name of Logan "Is-Actually-Hitched" Sanders' husband was surprisingly also a well-known one, even if in other ways. Leading the new generation of chefs, previously led by the likes of Betty Crocker and Martha Stewart, was Patton Sanders.
On his own, Patton made a name for himself with his many published cookbooks and shows on the Cooking Channel. He was well-loved from house wives and kids alike.
These two being revealed to be together stirred up a lot of talk for the both of them, which neither of them denied. They just admitted that it wasn't relevant. This answer was accepted. For the most part.
The first social event that the two were seen being a public couple was the 4th of July carnival. Food vendors and craft sellers were set up. Kids could play on the bounce houses and with the games set up until the parade was scheduled to begin. With such hype on the event, it was expected that there were going to be cameras filming.
It was not expected for the most talked-about couple of the month to be out and about.
They'd escaped the cameras after giving a brief statement, which was reasonably civil for the couple having their personal space invaded.
"Want some cotton candy, love?" Logan eyed the reporters filming them as they walked away, trying to distract Patton from their pursuit.
Patton's eyes gleamed as he nodded furiously. "My favorite carnival food!"
"I thought that was popcorn?" Logan protested as he pulled out a few singles from his wallet. "Or pretzels? Or ice cream?"
"None top cotton candy." Patton shook his head, smiling happily at the good day he was doing. He was with his true love at a wonderful carnival, and they were about to head early to get a good spot to watch the parade, which had been a long-since anticipated event for him.
Logan shook his head. The affection he felt for Patton made him forget all about the drama they were receiving from the press. He pressed a kiss to Patton's head. "I'll be right back. Save a spot for me."
"Get me a pink one!" Patton called after him as he walked away.
Logan had barely been gone five minutes, but when he came back with a big stick with cotton candy flowing off the top, he saw Patton shoved to the ground. The man pounced on top of him, demanding his valuables, didn't have a chance.
Logan would do anything for Patton.
With a strength and grit he didn't even know he had, Logan ripped the man off him, knocking him down and out for the count until security officers heard the commotion and restrained the man. Logan kneeled beside Patton, helping him into a sitting position and checking him for injuries. "Patton, are you alright!?"
"No no no, I'm fine." Patton allowed Logan to help him stand. He tried to play it cool when an officer offered to assist him, but Logan could tell he was a bit frazzled. Understandably.
The whole thing caused a scene at the carnival, with everyone and anyone nearby watching and crowding around them, recognizing at least one of them from their respective jobs, or rather, the news.
"Dude, this is totally going on YouTube!" One random guy was filming on his phone, exaggerating his importance in the issue. Logan left Patton with an officer asking him questions about what happened to stalk over to the guy.
Taking the camera and looking straight into it, Logan issued a threat, knowing it'd be on the internet for everyone to see. "Don't ever touch Patton. I'm warning you."
He didn't realize the threat would backfire on them. Honestly, he didn't think anyone would dare try.
But Patton didn't make it home one night.
Logan received an email shortly after on his public email, informing him of the kidnapping. Logan was pissed to say the least, but oddly enough to the police he contacted, the man wasn't all that frightened by his husband's situation.
He didn't intend to pay the ransom demanded, but the officers leading the rescue mission insisted.
"I don't need this." Logan pushed the briefcase back into the officer's hands.
She pushed it back. "Yes, I get it, you're loaded. This suitcase has a tracker. Give it to them, and when they escape we can find them."
Logan shrugged, taking it just to make them shut up.
Arriving at the warehouse alone, as asked, Logan entered, not expecting anything different than what he found.
"Took you long enough." Patton flipped another card in the deck in his hand. Logan surveyed the room, noticing the array of people tied up around the room from where Patton had obviously gotten the drop on them.
"Sorry Hun." Logan pulled him into a hug, holding on tight and not wanting to let go. "Going through the police is slow work."
Patton stood, laying down the cards in his hand. He leaned his palms on the table and glared into the face of the man sitting tied up in the chair across him. "I fold."
Grabbing the suitcase to return it back to the cops, Patton skipped out of the room. Logan chuckled, wondering how he ever got so lucky to earn him.
Turning back to the gagged criminal sitting in front of him, Logan grabbed his collar, chuckling dryly in his face. "I fucking warned you!"
