Getting it Together

Red Eye Flight

TW: Planes, implied drugging

Logan woke up to clattering sounds coming from somewhere else in the house. Blinking away the blurry in his eyes as much as he could without his glasses, he glanced at the clock next to the bed. It was near 1 in the morning. He glanced over at Patton's side of the bed, finding him gone.

After a minute of searching fo his glasses before remembering he got up and walked towards the door to the living room, stopping just before he actually got to the door and hesitating. Logan glanced back at the bed, deciding between going back and looking outside. He opened the door and squinted more than before at the light to see Patton carrying a sleeping Virgil down the stairs. 

"Pat?" Patton finally noticed Logan at the bedroom door, squinting adorably without his glasses. He made a mental note to get him new ones when they got back. His bunny hated how blurry it made his vision. He felt a little bad for not getting them sooner. 

"Bunny? What are you doing up?" He set Virgil on the couch and walked over to Logan, kissing him gently on the forehead and wrapping his arms around Logan. 

"I heard noises," Logan rested his head on Patton's chest, "What are you doing?"

"Sorry Logie, I dropped Virgil's bag on the way down. You should go back to sleep. It'll be awhile before we have to go."

"Go? Go where, Patton-bear?" Patton smiled at the nickname, one that Logan had gained a fondness of over the past few days. 

"You'll see soon, baby. Go back to sleep," Patton hugged him a little tighter for a second and then let go, turning him around to the room again and pushing him in little, "I'll come get you soon, sleep for a little longer," Logan glanced over his shoulder and watched Patton pick Virgil up again before closing the door and going to the bed. 

A couple hours later Logan woke up to Patton leaning over and gently shaking him. 

"It's time to get up Logie, we gotta go. You can sleep in the car," Logan looked over at the clock again. Two in the morning. Patton moved away, grabbing some bags from next to the bed and handing one to Logan before gently leading him out of the room and towards the door.

Outside. They were going outside. 

Patton unlocked the door and stepped outside. Logan hesitated slightly before following him out. Logan handed Patton the bag to load into the car. It was one of the biggest cars Logan had ever seem. It had 8 seats and a big back part that had enough space that their luggage filled maybe three fourths of the space. 

Patton still hadn't told him where they were going. 

Logan felt a gentle tug on his hands and looked up to see Patton pulling him back towards the house. He almost felt scared of going back in. He wanted to stay out. It was nice out. 

Luckily for him they weren't going in. 

Patton guided him to sit on the porch steps and pulled Logan to his chest. His breath caught in his throat as he looked up. 

The stars... 

He hadn't't even realized how much he missed them. But they were here. And so amazing. 

"Do you like it?" Logan had almost forgot Patton was here, so caught up in being outside and seeing the stars and how pretty they were, he'd forgotten where he was. 

"Hm?" 

"Do you like it? I thought you might like it. I was planning to wait but I wasn't sure what time we'd get to the plane and I didn't wanna miss it."

"I love it. Thank you Patton-bear." Logan couldn't take his eyes off the sky. It felt like so long since he'd seen the stars. 

Patton gently kissed Logan on the cheek before pulling him up and leading him towards the car. The door next to him slammed closed and Patton went around to the other side and got in. A blast of cold air came through the vents as he turned the car on. Logan stared out of the window as the car backed out of the driveway, still staring at the sky as the outside zoomed by. 

When had he last been outside? Eventually Logan nodded off.

He woke up a good 2 hours later, covered in a soft blanket similar to the ones at the house. Was he back inside?

He, for the third time that night, blinked the blurry away. 

"Logie?" He seemed to have woken up Patton while he was waking up. 

"Patton-bear? Where are we?" Logan yawned when he finished his sentence, finding he didn't recognize where he was at all. 

"We're on a plane! Are you thirsty? I can get you some water?"

"A... plane? How are we...?" Patton stretched before nodding, finally taking in his surroundings, "Please?"

Patton unbuckled his seat, giving Logan a quick kiss before leaving to get the water and coming back, "Momma leant me the jet for our vacation. She thought it would be good for us to go somewhere and get some sun!" Logan took a sip, looking to see everyone else buckled up and fast asleep in their seats. 

"Vacation? Where are we going?" Logan sat up straight, moving the star blanket Patton had gotten him down. 

"I can't tell you that! It's a surprise! I was hoping you would all sleep until we got there, but you must be really fitful tonight. You normally sleep straight through." Patton laid his head on Logan's shoulder and closed his eyes, sighing contentedly.

"Patton?" Logan hesitated before asking.

"Yes, bunny?" Patton turned down the overhead lights so that it was darker. 

"Can- can I open the window? Please? I really wanna see the stars again." Logan fidgeted with his hands as he asked, hoping he didn't anger Patton. 

"'Course bunny. We're up in the sky, no one can see. You should go to sleep again soon though. We'll be there soon." Logan quickly pulled the cover open before Patton could change his mind.

"Thank you. I will. I just wanted to see them again."

"If you're good, maybe after our getaway we can open the blinds more often."

"Thank you. Goodnight Patton-bear."

"Goodnight bunny." They both started to nod off again.
