Room 528 (Formerly Room 228), Monday evening

Logan returned to his room, punched in his code and accepted the handful of M&M-like candies that the lock dispensed as it opened.

He closed the door, flopped down on his bed and pondered his DVD collection while munching on the candies.

"For you, I'll show," Logan said, pointing at Angel. "At least it's not Rory again."

"How'd she do?" he asked. "I never found out."

[fh_jackass]

Logan rolled his eyes. "Oh, she was great at it," he said with disgust.

"Feel like venting? 'cause you could. If you wanted." Angel looked around, not sure if he should sit or stay standing.

Logan sat down on the bed and gestured for Angel to sit. "Oh, she had a lecture and plans and everything and I had, you know, a movie." He shrugged. "That'll teach you to put me in charge of a class," he grinned. "Go to Rory first, next time."

"Yeah, but you were the one making deathbed promises about helping with my coursework," Angel pointed out. He might've glanced around for a chair, but sat on the bed anyway. "See, you should've offered to walk my dog."

"Yeah, but you wouldn't've been faking sick to get out of doing anything with Sean," Logan pointed out.

"True. Besides John was taking good care of him." Angel quieted. "I can't believe how many people actually gave a damn."

[fh_jackass]

Logan gave Angel a small smile. "You care about other people. That kind of thing'll come back to haunt you."

The smile echoed on Angel's lips. "Never had a problem caring too much before."

[fh_jackass]

Logan shrugged. "I'm sure it'll pass. Such things usually do."

"What if I don't want it to?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan shook his head. "Then there's no hope for you, dude. Probably doomed to a life of disappointment and unfulfilled expectations."

Angel gave a snort of laughter. "Yeah, what else is new? Kinda figured that out with the whole 'Can't actually be truly happy or else I die' thing."

That probably came out a bit more bitter than Angel intended it to.

[fh_jackass]

"Okay, that sucks," Logan nodded. "But most people are miserable their whole lives, anyway. At least you've got a good reason for it."
