"We need to talk."
"About?"
"You. You seem to be really out of it today, and you need a friend."
"No, I don't." Logan's voice cut through the silence, anger laced through each of the words. "I don't need a friend. I need someone who will always be there, who will make sure I know how loved I am. I don't need a friend. I need something more."
"Where is this coming from?"
"It's coming from me. From everything being bottled up too much. It's coming from the feelings that I hate and that I don't want. I don't want to love you. I don't. But I do, and I hate it. Why can't I love someone else? Why does it have to be you? It's always you, it's always, always you. My best friend, someone I can trust and who is always there, but I keep trying to push away because I don't want to love you. Not like this. Because you won't love me too, and I want someone to love me. I need it." Logan's voice decreased and before Roman could say anything, Logan spoke up again. "I love you, Roman, and it's so painful..."

Logan has major trust issues, but when it comes to his best friend, Roman, love seems too easy. Maybe he finds it hard to tell him, but when he does, their love seems to be too easy, too strong, and it's almost as if it's not real.
If it wasn't for the crushing weight on his chest from his ex, maybe he'd let himself fall under and love the boy he has always had by his side, but things can never be that simple.
His ex seems to arrive back and he's forced to confrot everything he fears with Roman. Is he too late, or does Roman feel the same way and is he willing to help Logan?
