"Alright, Logan..."

The voice in front of him was sly and smooth. Almost like Janus' voice. But he knew it wasn't Janus, since he was looking right at him.

Logan was sitting in a chair, his hands tied behind his back. In front of him were Remus and Roman on one side, and Janus, Patton, and Virgil on another side, their hands tied behind their back as well.

What was this psycho planning now?

"You, my friend, have to make a /very/ important choice." The white gloved hand brushed along his shoulder, causing Logan to slightly wince. "...O-kay-?"

"You see these two groups of people here? Yeah? Well~ you, my friend, get the fun of choosing which ones get to die!"

The words made Logan's entire body tense.

What?

"Well, go on now... Take your pick. I'll just have to kill them all if you choose not to pick~"

Oh god. Oh fuck.

Logan's heart raced as he looked toward Roman and Remus. Roman looked worried yet reassuring towards Logan, and Remus just looked angry towards this person that stood behind Logan, massaging his shoulders.

Roman was Logan's lover. Three years yesterday, actually.

And now today, they were tangled up in this mess.

Roman had asked Logan out when Logan was saying how useless and stupid relationships were, actually. He had pulled Logan into his arms, a nervous look on his face as he asked the nerd. "Can I show you that relationships are better than you think? Just give me one chance?"

Logan wanted to say no, but the look in Roman's eyes just... Made him feel something. He had a deep feeling that he should say yes.

And god, he was so glad he did.

Roman had made Logan feel so loved during those three years. He had his doubts at first, but he grew so fond of Roman. His touches, his gestures, everything about him Logan absolutely fell HARD for.

Then you had Remus.

Remus had established a deep connection with Logan after they both realized neither of them really felt listened to or loved enough. They became the best of friends, and Logan grew very fond of the trash man.

Of course, once Roman found out how they both felt he tried to spend as much time with them as possible, but Remus and Logan still remained the best of friends.

God, this was such a trolley situation.

Logan didn't have as deep of a connection with the other three, but they still deserved so much. They deserved to live, they deserved everything...

A small sob escaped Logan, and he heard Patton's trembling voice. "Kiddo..."

"Time's-a-ticking." The man behind him chuckled, the grin visible in his voice. "Who will it be~? The twins~? Or everyone else~?"

Another loud sob emerged from Logan, and he felt himself crumbling down in his chair. What the hell was he supposed to do?! Oh god, oh fuck... It took him a few minutes, just sitting there in that chair, hunched over and sobbing. What to do, what to do...

Then it hit Logan.

The only goddamned thing he could do.

"I-" He hiccuped. "I know what my choice is."

Logan could feel the others tensing up in anticipation. "Oh~?" The man chuckled. "And what would that be~?"

Logan took a shaky breath, looking up. His eyes locked with Romans tear filled ones. All he could think was 'Fuck, please forgive me for this...' "I-I-" He hiccuped, inhaling deeply.

"I choose myself."
