Finding The Write Words

Chapter Fourteen

"I told you not to seek him out, Ro," Logan chastised as Roman handed him a coffee, meeting him on his way out of class.

"Hello to you, too," he chuckled, pressing a kiss to Logan's cheek.

Logan adjusted his glasses to try to hide the blush that sprouted up across his cheeks, clearing his throat and taking a sip of his coffee.

"Don't worry, though, Lo Lo. I didn't seek him out. I was just on my way to get coffee and ran into him."

Quite literally, he thought with a chuckle. He took Logan's hand and as they started off campus. Logan twined his fingers between Roman's, his thumb rubbing idly against the side of Roman's hand.

"Did he say anything?" he asked as Roman took a sip of his own half-empty coffee.

"Not really. He apologized for bumping into me and ran off."

"Well, then how do you know it was him?"

Roman shrugged dramatically. "Patton told us what he looked like, right, and it just felt right. Y'know, like when we met and it felt like home? It was like that."

"I see. I wonder if that's something that happens with all soulmates," he mused. "I'll have to look into that."

He hummed thoughtfully in response and laid his head against Logan's shoulder as they walked. "How was class, my lovely?" he asked after a long moment of comfortable silence.

He was so comfortable with Logan. He was comfortable with Patton, too, but it was different with each of them. Patton filled the silence with jokes and excited chatter, his joy infectious. Logan, however, was more than happy to walk in silence, simply enjoying the world around them. Roman was happy with either situation.

He loved them both so much.

He loved Logan's intellect, the way his eyes lit up when he spoke about his classes, the way his voice pitched up when Roman snuck up behind him with a hug, the way he tried to hide how easily flustered he got.

He loved Patton's morality, the way he went out of his way to do everything possible to make them happy, the way his eyes lit up when he was baking cookies or when he was talking about a new animal at work, the way he hid his obviously-red face when either of them kissed his cheek.

They were so innocent.

It was adorable.

Logan rambled about his astronomy class for the rest of the walk towards Roman's apartment, his eyes alight. When they arrived at the apartment, Roman pressed a quick kiss to Logan's forehead as he sat down on the couch. He left him in the living room and took a quick shower to wash off the sweat from his dance class before getting dressed and rejoining Logan.

"Are you good to go, lovely?" he asked, leaning down over him. Logan tilted his head up to look at him, and Roman kissed his nose.

"I, uh..." He cleared his throat. "Yes. Where are we going today?"

Roman chuckled, loving the pink that graced Logan's cheeks, knowing that it appeared on himself and the others as well. He held his hand out and helped Logan to his feet. "'m taking you to The Book Loft."

Logan gasped silently, his brows raising in his excitement. He had heard about the thirty-two-room book store but hadn't been able to make it out there yet. Roman knew they only had a few hours before Patton got off of work, and they wanted to pick him up so he didn't have to walk all the way home, but he was looking forward to seeing just how excited Logan got in the book store.

His adorable little nerd.

It was everything he had hoped for, and more, as he watched Logan flip through the pages of a book on space travel and newfound planets. His eyes were fixated on the page, scanning over the words like he was hungry for them, his insatiable yearning for knowledge spurning him on.
