The Astronomer and The Florist

Conversations and Confirmations

They stayed like that in Logan's car, Virgil nestled in Logan's lap, quite and content for a few minutes before Virgil spoke again.

"So... boyfriend, huh?"

-_-_-_-

Logan blushed, and buried his face in Virgil's hair.

"Yeah," Logan said, holding the h note, "you caught that?"

Virgil laughed, and moved his face to where he can speak to Logan clearly without lifting his head from Logan's shoulder.

"Well, with you yelling it at Michael twice, it would be hard to miss!"

Logan just groaned and hugged Virgil tighter. He had done it now. Now Virgil would tell him about how he doesn't feel comfortable with Logan saying that, and how they should just be friends...

Unbeknownst to Logan, Virgil was have the same dilemma. Virgil was thinking, 'great, now he thinks I'm a weirdo. He's probably staying quiet to figure out a way to tell me that it was just a spur of the moment thing. He probably just wants to stay friends...'

Virgil shifted in Logan's lap, pulling them both out of their thoughts. Logan smiled, took a deep breath, and started talking.

"Virgil, I'm not always great expressing my feelings, and..."

Virgil tensed, preparing for what was sure to come next. Logan continued.

"And I know I said I wanted to get to know you longer, but the last three days I have spent talking to you have been the greatest and most enlightening three days of my life. I already feel so close to you. You are just so sweet and kind and beautiful, both inside and out. That being said, I would love to be more than your friend, if it's not too fast for you."

Virgil, not sure if he could trust his ears, looked into Logan's eyes. Logan's eyes are very expression, and Virgil was almost shocked by the amount of adoration and apprehensiveness he saw there. Logan was just about to apologize when Virgil wrapped his arms around him and buried his face into his neck.

"Oh thank God! I thought you were just about to tell me how you just want to be friends and it was a spur of the moment type of thing." Virgil said, clearly relieved.

Logan paused, and then lifted Virgil's chin so he could look him in the eyes.

"Are you serious? I thought you just wanted to be friends! I figure I'm being pretty clear with how I feel, what with you still sitting in my lap and me holding you and all."

Virgil blushed, and just hugged Logan tighter. "Score 1 for oblivious gays, huh?"

Logan laughed and nodded. "Sooo... since we both care for eachother very much and would like to see this progress, will you... be my boyfriend?" Logan asked.

Virgil smirked. "Hmm, why not? But only on one condition."

Logan raised one eyebrow. "Oh?"

"Yep!" Virgil chirped in affirmation. "I'll be your boyfriend officially as long as you go on a date with me. Tomorrow. An official first date, because I don't think this one counts."

Logan was pretty sure his face was going to cramp from all of the smiling he's been doing.

"Of course my dear! Do you have anything in mind?" Virgil blushed at the pet name and nodded.

"I was thinking about... stargazing?" Logan was positive that his face would never drop the smile he had.

"Of course, I would love that! We can even get coffee beforehand and eat breakfast afterwards." Logan said, bring up their previous ideas of a stargazing outing. He had texted 'it's a date' because he knew that Virgil would blush from it, but now he couldn't wait for his wishful, joking comment to become a reality.

Virgil grinned, recognizing the plans, and nodded. "That sounds perfect!"

Logan chuckled, then looked at the time on the dashboard. "Excellent. Now, how about I take you home?" Virgil looked at the time and nodded, a little surprised that they have been just sitting there and talking for an hour.

Virgil regretfully slid out of Logan's lap, but Logan kept the middle compartment up, and patted the seat next to him when he finally situated himself in the drivers side.

Virgil happily slid over, buckling up and leaning his head on Logan. While neither of them were much for public displays, they were both loving these small, private shows of affection.

They stayed like that until Logan pulled into Virgil's driveway. Logan unlocked the doors and squeezed Virgil's hand.

"You better go get some sleep. I hear you got a pretty big date tomorrow with your boyfriend."

Virgil blushed at Logan's words, and squeezed his hand back. "I do! I can't wait to go out with the most handsome guy I've ever met!"

It was Logan's turn to blush. "I assure you, he feels the exact same way."

Virgil, deciding to go ahead and go inside before he self combusts, simply smiled and bid Logan a good night. Logan repeated the sentiment, and then Virgil watched Logan drive off.

As soon as he was sure Logan could no longer see him, Virgil started jumping up and down and flapping his hands. "Eeeee! I can't believe that really happened!" Virgil squealed to himself.

Logan, all the way at his house, was doing the same thing. Both boys fell asleep relatively easily that night, eager and wanting to be well rested for the big date.

They both dreamed of getting lost in the constellations of the others eyes.
