Room 228, Saturday Evening

[fh_jackass]

After bursting into song at the clinic, Logan came back to his room and flopped down on the bed to wait for Veronica.

It had been an odd week. He'd ended up in the wrong bathroom on Tuesday morning, but he'd spent the afternoon with Veronica, which made his day so much better.

Preparations for the hunting party had gone well enough. He'd gotten a chance to try out his new crossbow at the firing range.

He'd also spent a nice evening watching a movie with Veronica. Which might not have been so nice if she'd known about the plans for Friday.

The fight could have gone better, but at least no one was killed. Veronica'd showed up when he got back to support headquarters. They'd gotten in an argument over it in Angel's room the next morning, but things weren't settled yet.

Logan spent the afternoon at the Secret Sibling party, where he'd chatted with Molly and gotten into an argument with Walter.

While waiting for Veronica, he heard noise down the hall and decided to check it out. There he talked to Angel a lot, along with Rory, Lee and a couple other people, then came back and flopped down on the bed again.

[Waiting for Veronica, if she's back online tonight. Otherwise will be slowplayed.]

Logan opened the door. "Hey, come on in," he said. "How was your day?"

"It was good, I think the interview went well," she said. "Did you go to the clinic?"

[fh_jackass]

"I did," Logan said. "My brain was examined by a large machine and I'm not allowed to drink for a week."

She raised an eyebrow. "So there really is a brain in there?"

[fh_jackass]

"Surprised me too," Logan said. "But there's photographic proof in my mdical records, now."

"I'm impressed."

She sat down on the edge of the bed. "How are you feeling?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan sat down next to her. "Little sore. Not too bad off. It's safe to yell at me now, if that's what you're wondering." He raised his eyebrows at her.

"I'm not going to yell," she said quietly. "As you so succintly pointed out this morning, that would make me a hypocrit."

[fh_jackass]

"That's not what I meant," Logan protested.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't matter if that's what you meant, it's still true. I can't yell at you for taking stupid risks when I'm guilty of doing the same thing."

[fh_jackass]

Logan smiled. "Maybe we both need to look out for each other, then?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," she smiled back.

"But no more secrets, okay?"

[fh_jackass]

"No more secrets," he promised. From somewhere, the strands of an electric guitar begin to play.

Logan's eyes widened as he realized what was happening, but he was soon swept up in the music. He took her hand in his and sang,

Is it nothing
Or less, or less, or less
We're holding on
I guess, I guess, I guess

He looked down at her hand and entwined their fingers together.

I can't believe we're here again
It's silly, don't you see
'Cause me and you and things like this
Were never meant to be

After all, well isn't this
Just a momentary thing
It's not like it's permanent
Or any heavy thing

Shut me up
I guess, I guess, I guess
Stirring me up
Yes, Yes, Yes

It's at the point of breaking down
'Cause there's nothing left to say
I think you waste your sweetness
I think the whole thing blew away

After all, well isn't this
Just a momentary thing
It's not like it's permanent
Or any heavy thing

Not like I hoped
Not like I dreamed
Not like I prayed, hoped for this

Not like I hooked up, hooked up, hooked up, hooked-
It's not any heavy thing
It's not any heavy thing
It's not any heavy thing
It's not any heavy thing

'Cause we'll get along, yeah
We'll get along, yeah
After so long, after so long
After so long, after so long

So long
