Dance With Deceit

Moonlight Dance

(The above video is the song that is sung later in the chapter, I couldn't find a simple lyric video for it so had to use the official music video. The events in the video have nothing to do with the actual story, just the song. Don't know why I felt the need to say this but I did... So um, yeah, enjoy the chapter!)

Logan was exhausted. He'd been spending the past several days taking care of Roman and helping clean up the mess in his room. At the moment he was the only who could actually do the work, seeing as Roman was still recovering his strength. Of course, that didn't stop the prince from constantly insisting he was capable of helping.

This led to Logan's work being interrupted by an argument between him and Roman which usually ended with him pouting and sulking on his bed while Logan resumed his task. The only time he ever willingly paused cleaning was when he brought up Roman's meals. He hadn't been able to eat with Patton and Virgil anymore since he needed to monitor how much Roman was eating.

It was important to make sure he didn't eat too much food at once, lest he become sick. Therefore, Logan would portion Roman's meals once he brought them to his room. But this raised more problems as Patton and Virgil would take every opportunity they could to question him about Roman's wellbeing.

He assured them both that he was alright and was finishing up a project of his. This seemed to satisfy them but he knew that they were still worried, specifically, about him. 

I suppose I can't blame them... Logan flopped onto his bed. Too tired to even remove his glasses or tie. The last time I talked to Virgil I yelled at him... and Patton... He sighed and closed his eyes. Something was wrong with Patton, which was another thing he had to worry about. Though he'd promised to talk to him once he was ready (and Patton never broke his promises) Logan feared that his situation would only grow worse during that time.

I have to lie to them about Roman while nursing him back to health. Patton needs help but he won't come to any of us. Virgil and Patton are worried about me and though they haven't brought it up, I know it involves these feelings I have. What they don't know is that I may be developing feelings for Deceit, and if they found out...

Logan groaned and rubbed his face. If was doomed to fall in love with anyone, why did it have to be Deceit? Patton wouldn't be so happy for me if he knew, and Virgil would most likely hate me, and Roman would think I was out of my mind...

He opened his eyes and frowned. Logan, you are thinking illogically. Knowing Patton, he'd still be happy for you, just cautious about you having a possible relationship with Deceit. Virgil wouldn't hate me, though it is likely he would turn his anger towards Deceit. And Roman- Alright Roman would certainly think you were out of your mind.

Logan rolled onto his side. You need to know... You need to know once and for all if your feelings are real... His eyes slowly began to close, despite his efforts to keep them open. The next time... you see him... ask him... Logan gave up the struggle and let them close. Ask him... how... he feels... He sighed and let himself fall into a much needed sleep. 

That immediately interrupted by a knock on the door. Logan's eyes immediately shot open and once he realized he had been awoken, he buried his face into his pillow and let out a frustrated groan. I just want to sleep! Is that too much to ask?!

The knocking continued. "Who is it?!" Logan shouted. There was no answer, just more knocking. He stood up and stormed over to the door, ready to give whoever was on the other side a piece of his mind. He threw it open. "What do you want?!"

No one was there.

He stared blankly at the empty hallway and swayed slightly. "What...?" He looked down at the floor and that's where he saw it, a note. With shaking hands he reached down and picked it up before unfolding it. Again, only a single word was written down.
