Camping part two- Logicality

Enjoy my first long Patton x Logan!

Prompt: Sharing a bed AU's

“This is going to be so fun!” Patton’s voice rang out into the fog. They had just arrived at their cabin in the woods, Patton’s newest “family outing” idea. It had been three hours since they left home, and everyone was glad it was over and ready to collapse. But first, they actually had to enter the cabin.

“Here it is! Our very own log cabin! For the next three days, this is all ours!” Patton exclaimed, gaily(haha pun intended).

“Patton, you are way too energetic to have just been driving for three hours,” Virgil mumbled, but Patton couldn’t hear him over his excitement.

“Welp, here it is! We have two beds and a kitchenette. Plus a bathroom, of course.” Patton ran around the small cabin, taking in all of the details. “We should probably unpack, right? Then we can get to the activities right away!”

“Of course, Patton. Let’s do that right away.” Logan and Patton walked out to the car together to unload their luggage.

“I can’t wait for all of the stuff we are going to do! Roasting marshmallows, going hiking, stargazing!!! Gosh, it’s just all so exciting!”

“It is, but I don’t understand why we had to travel out here for all of it.” Logan grumped

“Because its an adventure, Lo-Lo! It’s a diversion from our everyday lives!”

Sigh ”I suppose.”

“It will be fun, I promise.”

“We should tell stories! Who wants to go first?” Patton was having a great time. He had eaten nine marshmallows and was sitting next to Logan. And no, to top it all off, Roman was telling them a story. Patton loved Roman’s stories. They were either exciting or sad, or somewhere in between. Either way, they fascinated Patton. Roman’s story today started;

“It was so terribly cold. Snow was falling, and it was almost dark. Evening came on, the last evening of the year. In the cold and gloom a poor little girl, bareheaded and barefoot, was walking through the streets. Of course when she had left her house she'd had slippers on, but what good had they been?”

…

“This, this,” Patton struggled to get his words out, “this is so sad.” His head was buried in Logan’s chest and was trying not to sob too loudly. Roman’s story was so sad, about a girl who died, but Patton still loved it and didn’t want to dismay Roman.

“Shhhhhh, it’s ok, she’s happier now,” Logan did his best to calm Patton down while cursing under his breath, he hated emotions.

“Lo-lo, if I died... if I died, would you miss me?” Patton looked up at him.

“Of course I would Patton, you’re probably the closest person to me.”

“Thanks Logan, you’re so nice to me,” Patton smiled up at him, and quickly kissed him on the cheek, before settling his head back into Logan’s chest.

“Patton,” Logan whispered to the sleeping figure next to him, “Patton, wake up and stop kicking me.” Patton did not wake, instead opting to kick Logan once again. “Patton I swear, wake up right now,” Logan shook Patton and eventually succeeded in waking him.

“What is it kiddo? Is everything alright?”

“No you idiot. You keep kicking me, and I can't sleep.”

“Oh! I am so sorry. Do you want me to sleep on the floor? I know how much you value your sleep. Let me do that now-”

“No,” Logan put his hand on Patton’s arm, stopping him, “Its alright, just please stop kicking me. I don’t want you losing your sleep either.”

“Your so nice Logan. Ok, I’ll try not to kick you anymore. Goodnight Lo-lo”

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and Loga was… stuck. He couldn't move, and he didn’t know why, there had to be a logical conclusion, which he soon found. Patton’s body was sprawled across his, essentially pinning him to the bed.

“PATTON,” Logan yelled, trying to wake him.

“Hm? Yes? What is it dear? Oh!” Patton blushed as he realized what had happened, “I am SO sorry Logan. Let me just… get off you.”

“Please do.”

It was the second night of the cabin, and everyone was exhausted once again. It had been a long day of hiking, and they all collapsed in bed the minute they got home. Except for Logan. He spent the first minutes home building a wall of pillows between his side and Patton’s.

“So you stop kicking me.” He explained, leaving out what happened the morning of.

The next morning, the pair was once again tangled up. This time, Logan was able to untangle himself without waking Patton. He entered the kitchen, nodding hello to Virgil, and started to make himself coffee. As Virgil came up to him, he paused.

“What do you smell like? Is that… you smell like Patton!” Virgil laughed at the red that quickly climbed Logan’s face. “Hey, it’s fine. You two shared a bed, this is bound to happen. Unless…?”

“Nononono. That is what happened. Nothing else.” Logan fumbled for the right words.”

“Ok buddy, whatever you want to tell yourself.” Virgil winked before walking out of the kitchen.

After that day’s activities, Logan didn’t even bother to build a wall of pillows, he just collapsed next to Patton and prayed nothing would happen that night. Unfortunately, that prayer was immediately ruined as Patton rolled over and pulled all of the blankets with him, leaving Logan cold.

“Patton,” Logan hissed, “You took all of the blankets.”

“Mhm, whatcha’ gonna do about it?” Patton looked back at Logan, his eyes dancing. Logan stopped. Patton was clearly messing with him, but he was so tired he didn’t care. It was either that or spending the rest of the night in the cold. He had made up his mind.

Logan rolled over and curled his body around Patton’s, effectively stealing Patton’s body warmth. Patton started laughing.

“Oh my gosh, I just meant to fight me for it. I love you so much.”

“Me too.”
