The Arms Hotel - Saturday Morning - Angel's room

[fh_jackass]

When Logan finally made it back to the hotel after the dance, Angel was already asleep. Logan showered and cleaned up his wounds in his own room, then went through the connecting doors to the other room and crawled into bed next to Angel.

Logan's head was pounding when he woke up the next morning. He considered getting up for painkillers and/or alcohol, then decided it was less painful to stay put.

By the time Angel had gotten back to the hotel the night before he'd been too tired to do anything but fall into a deep sleep. So it wasn't until he started drifting awake the next morning that he noticed the warm body beside him.

He wasn't fully awake yet, though, which is why he lacked the self-consciousness he would normally have about slipping his arm around Logan's waist and holding him closer.

[fh_jackass]

"Morning," Logan murmured, leaning back against Angel.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Still not awake yet, which meant sleepy kisses on Logan's shoulder.

No talking though because Angel was Angel no matter how awake he was.

There might have been a grunt of some sort though. You know, as a greeting.

[fh_jackass]

Logan smiled, considered turning over, then decided to stay where he was. "You should keep asprin and alcohol in your nightstand at all times," he said.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Having dealt with Logan's hangovers before, this comment didn't throw him. "Not my nightstand."

[fh_jackass]

"Any nightstand where you happen to be staying," Logan said. "I bet hotels would offer this as a service."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"One back home does," Angel pointed out. Of course his nightstand back home also had stakes in it. With Angel, that was safe sex.

[fh_jackass]

"Bit of a trip just for asprin," Logan said.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel's other hand hadn't touched Logan yet, which meant it was still a cool room temperature. He placed it over Logan's forehead. "How's that?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan winced slightly at the touch of a hand on raw, bruised skin, then hoped Angel hadn't noticed. The cool hand did feel good on his forehead. "Helps," he said.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

This was Angel. He noticed. He was also fully awake now. "What happened?"

[fh_jackass]

"Nothing," Logan said. "Little disagreement last night. No big."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Who with?" Angel asked. He sat up so he could study Logan's wounds. Luckily being a vampire meant he didn't have to turn on a light to see.

[fh_jackass]

"Bel," Logan said neutrally.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel facepalmed.

[fh_jackass]

"He was being a dick!" Logan said.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Mostly I'm mad I lost the bet about how long this would take the both of you."

[fh_jackass]

"You know me so well."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel resumed studying the wounds. "He got some good ones in."

[fh_jackass]

"He got lucky," Logan grumbled.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel had a slightly charmed grin on his face. Of course whether or not Logan could see that in the dark was up for debate. "Stay here. I'll get some ice."

[fh_jackass]

Unfortunately, Logan couldn't get a good look at Angel's face. "And asprin and alcohol?" Logan said hopefully.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Your room, right?"

[fh_jackass]

"Asprin's in the front pocket of my suitcase. Alchol's in the main compartment. And the side pocket. And the nightstand. Any one will do."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Logan couldn't see Angel's face, but he probably heard Angel's chuckle as he got up to get the necessary supplies.

[fh_jackass]

Having someone else get up for the alcohol and asprin. That was a good plan. Logan rolled onto his back gingerly, trying not to shake his head more than necessary.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel came back with aspirin, alcohol, a full ice bag, a wet washcloth, and a botle of water.

Logan got the aspirin and water first. "Do I even want to know what you were fighting about?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan swallowed the asprin and chugged a large amount of the water. He shrugged. "Bel was being a dick."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"And you couldn't be the more matu... actually wait, forget I even started that sentence."

[fh_jackass]

"He didn't think I'd stand up to him without you around to 'protect' me," Logan said with disgust.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel blinked. "Has he met you?"

[fh_jackass]

"He's kind of an idiot," Logan said.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"He's not alone," Angel said, giving Logan a Look that was probably lost in the dark. "Finish the water."

[fh_jackass]

Logan may not have seen the Look, but he definitely caught the tone of voice. He chugged the remainder of the water, then leaned over to switch the lamp on.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel blinked as he adjusted to the light. He also might not have hidden any looks of concern fast enough to make sure Logan didn't see them.

[fh_jackass]

Logan caught the look on Angel's face. "I'm fine," he said. "Just a little banged up."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You could not be banged up," Angel pointed out.

[fh_jackass]

"Have you met me?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel had that grin again. Of course now Logan could see it. "Sit up. Lemme take a look at the bruises."

[fh_jackass]

"Seriously, it's no big," Logan said, but he pulled himself up into a sitting position, only wincing slightly.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel rolled his eyes. "Right. 'cause I don't know anything about pain. Here. Think you can hold the ice?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan took the ice from Angel and held it against the bruise on his face. "I'm not mortally wounded. Just a little sore."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh well, then it's fine." Angel rolled his eyes. Then he leaned in as though to kiss Logan, but then stopped himself. He looked at Logan uncertainly.

[fh_jackass]

Logan gave Angel a puzzled look. "What?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Didn't know if you - uh - " Angel shrugged. Shrugging didn't involve talking.

[fh_jackass]

Logan smiled. "Duh," he said, and leaned in to kiss Angel.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel lost a bit of stress he hadn't even known he was holding as he kissed Logan back.
