Assessment of Abilities

Chapter 9 | Some information can be too much information

Patton entered Logan's room. As he did he suddenly realised that this was the first time he'd been in Logan's room. He took a quick glance around; the place was spotless, tidy, and extremely organised, with the bed at the end of the room, bookshelves taking up most of the space, and on the right was a desk with Logan sat at it.

Logan was sat slumped at his desk, his head in his hands with his elbows on the desk, not wanting to face Patton. The latter nervously closed the door behind him before taking a few steps toward Logan 'What do I say? What do I say?" he thought in earnest, forgetting about his flatmates' ability.

Logan sat there and groaned, "You don't have to say anything... I messed up... I apologise... I should have been more specific..." He'd never intentionally admit that he liked the kiss in fear of what that could cause.

There was a moment of awkward silence. Logan remained in his spot, and Patton stood shifting his weight from one leg to the other.

"Logan I-..."

"No Pat... You don't need to say anything... you were clearly upset, thus acted upon that. Seeking comfort, which I'd offered" Logan spoke, finally lifting his head from his hand but still not looking at the other. Before Patton could speak, Logan continued "Patton... I must admit... That was my fir..." he stopped midsentence, he'd almost finished the sentence without flinching, but he couldn't do it.

Patton suddenly gasped and covering his mouth "That... That was your first kiss??" he exclaimed in both amazement and horror. A feeling of guilt suddenly overwhelmed him "Oh Lo... I... I'm so sorry... I should have asked first... I really am sorry... Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" Patton asked but he knew that a first kiss should be special and he'd stolen Logan's...

Logan shook his head before taking a deep breath, attempting to calm his clear blush that still spread across his cheeks. "No, it is completely fine, I promise, you simply took me by surprise is all, I have never had any intention of making the first kiss a special event... and to be honest, I am content that it was with you, and now all of that 'first-time' stuff is over an done with" he breathed out, hoping that logic would calm him.

Oh, how wrong he was.

"W-Well... I mean... if that was your first kiss then... you mustn't have... well... you know..." Patton stuttered, not really comfortable talking about that stuff as he too was still a virgin.

Logan's blush spread over his entire face "Oh crap..." he groaned, his head back in his hands.

"Patton?" Logan spoke up after another 10 minutes of awkward silence. "Yes?" the other replied with a bit of a squeak. Logan turned in his chair to face Patton, no longer caring that he was as red as a strawberry, unable to retain eye contact "Umm... could you please not mention any of this to the others? I have a reputation to uphold... I feel like I can trust you with the information I'd previously... leaked..." he looked down almost ashamed of himself.

Patton blinked before breathing out a giggle and kneeling down next to Logan, placing a friendly hand on his knee "Lo~ You don't have to worry, I'm a virgin too, so it can be our little secret" he smiled brightly, as he usually did. Logan found this smile comforting and calmed down almost instantly.

His face then contorted into that of curiosity "What's wrong?" Patton asked, noticing the sudden change.

"I wonder if Roman and Virgil are too?" Logan asked, surprising even himself with that question. He was never one for gossip but since they were on the subject he had become curious.

Patton pouted his lips in thought, not fazed at all and actually wondering the same thing himself "Well I know Virgil isn't, but I don't know about Roman"

This caused Logan to raise a brow "And how is it you know Virgil is not?" He asked, unable to help a small smirk arise as Patton turned bright red. The latter fidgeted before clearing his throat "O-Oh well... Umm... He... He told me... I was looking at one of his paintings and it was really dark... and umm... I... I asked him what it was and he said it was a l-live painting of one of his... his ex's..." Patton swallowed deeply, however, Logan didn't understand.

"Just because he had an ex, doesn't mean he's copulated..." Logan stated. Nevertheless, Patton rubbed the back of his neck "T-The... The painting was of a naked guy chained up and gagged..."

They both sat there in silence, Logan's eyes wide and Patton blushing furiously "Oh my..." is all Logan could express.
