Human AU. Enjoy the fluff.
Third Person:
"Logey-berry? Are you alright honey?" Patton's words cut through the thick fog of Logan's mind as his head snapped in his boyfriend's direction, their eyes meeting. The insistent beating of his heart only seemed to increase feverishly, Logan's hand settled on the pocket containing very precious cargo, unmoving.
"Me? I'm perfectly fine. I'm simply excited for this evenings activity," Logan answered, his voice steady, even. Much steadier than he was actually feeling, and luckily enough for it to seem believable. Patton smiled at that, reaching over to grasp his boyfriend's hand, lacing their fingers together.
"I'm excited too! I can't wait, it's gonna be so much fun. I can't believe you got us reservations to such a fancy-smancy restaurant, considering what a reserved guy you are," Patton joked, nudging his elbow into Logan and earning a light groan in response. "Eh, not my best material. But seriously, hon, thank you. This place sounds so wonderful, and this car is so cool! I've never been in a limo before," Patton spoke eagerly, gesturing to the vehicle they were sitting in with a bright smile.
"Of course, Patton. I'm glad that you're enthusiastic about tonight. Showing you a good time really is something I should do more often." Patton shook his head, leaning closer to press a quick kiss to his boyfriend's cheek, earning, even after all of this time, a light blush from its recipient.
"Nonsense, silly. You show me a good time just by being around. But really, I feel like this is pretty out of the norm for us. I'm not forgetting something, am I? There's no special occasion that I'm failing to remember, is there? I know I can be a bit of a scatter-brain sometimes." Logan had to force himself to swallow down the uneasiness he was suddenly gripped by, settling for a bit of a forced smile as he gave Patton's hand a squeeze.
"Negatory, you haven't forgotten anything. I just thought that perhaps you deserved some special treatment." A smile settled onto Patton's face as he laid his head on Logan's shoulders, his eyes trained on the window as he watched the buildings pass by, the sun beginning to set.
"Aww, you're too sweet to me, Lo-Lo. I love you so much." Logan let out a sigh, his mind racing as he silently prayed that his irrational anxieties would ease up a bit before the evening was through.
"I love you too," he said, shutting his eyes for just a moment, taking in the motion of the car and allowing his mind to wander.
Before meeting Patton, Logan had prided himself in the lack of his need for emotional connection. Sure, he had a few companions who he was close with and he and his family got along as fine as any could, but he found himself lacking the usual need to have others present around him, epically that of romance. The fact that so many individuals felt the obligation to be tied down to a partner to spend so much of their time with and exhort so much valuable energy sounded positively exhausting. There were so many other things that people could be doing, but instead, for some mundane reason, they chose to consume their time with a said person or persons. He just didn't understand it. How was it that a perfectly functional individual could feel such an urgency to have someone with them constantly, in many instances a person that they met purely for the reason of starting some sort of a romantic relationship. Never had he felt this desecrate need, and most of the time, he was content in the thought that he never would.
His friend Roman, someone who he had been linked to since childhood and was widely different from himself, though their friendship was something he did not mind, explained his reasoning on the matter.
"It's finding your other half," Roman had explained with a certain poetic charm to his voice, as he was always one with a flair for the dramatic, "The person that you want to spend the rest of your life with. It's the person that understands you the best out of anyone, and you understand them. It's something so incredibly beautiful, hard to define but once you have it, you never want to let it go. It's someone you want near you all of the time because they complete you and make you feel whole inside. That, my friend, is love."
