Chapter 4 - D is for Delivery
Looking down at the two mugs in his hands, Logan lets out a sigh before taking a deep breath and fortifying his will power. He needs to do this...Patton deserves this. With his mind focused on the task at hand, Logan heads up the stairs to Pattonās room.Ā
Thankfully, he didnāt run into any of the others because he knows Virgil would keep him from reaching Patton and that would only make matters worse.Ā
Logan stands outside of Pattonās door where he carefully holds both mugs in one hand so heās able to knock on the door with the other one.Ā
KNOCKā¦.KNOCKā¦.KNOCKā¦
āPatton? Are you in there?ā calls Logan.Ā
There was silence for a few moments and Loganās about to knock again when the door opens and Pattonās standing in front of him; the cat cardigan missing from Pattonās shoulders while his shirt is untucked and wrinkled.Ā
Itās a punch to Loganās gut.
Tilting his head to the side at the sight of Logan, Patton frowns in confusion about what Logan wants now.Ā
Unable to figure out how to start, Logan holds out the light blue mug, thatās covered with puppies and kittens on it, for Patton to take.Ā
Patton hesitates for a couple moments before taking it and holding it up to his nose and inhaling the scent of apple cinnamon.Ā
āI thought you might like a cup of tea, Patton,ā explains Logan.Ā
Taking a small sip of the warm beverage, Patton closes his eyes and enjoys it. Then he opens his eyes and offers Logan a small smile.Ā
āThanks Logan. Do you, um, wanna come in?ā asks Patton when he realizes theyāre standing in his doorway.Ā
āI would appreciate that,ā answers Logan.Ā
Patton moves out of the way so Logan can enter his room then he closes the door while keeping a secure hold on his mug.Ā
Moving over to his bed, Patton sits down with his back against the headboard as he watches Logan figure out where to sit. He eventually takes pity on Logan.Ā
āYou can sit with me on my bed, Logan,ā Patton offers.
Logan bites his bottom lip because he wants to join Patton but itās hard for him to allow himself to do so. Apparently, his feet have a mind of their own as he starts walking over to the bed then sits down by Pattonās feet, careful to not spill his coffee on the other Side.Ā
Taking a sip of his coffee, Logan considers his words carefully so as to prevent any misunderstanding between them.
āI owe you an apology, Patton,ā he holds up a hand when Patton goes to speak, āYou may not think it necessary but this is something I know I need to do.āĀ
Patton holds his mug with both of his hands as he waits for Logan to speak again.
āI am sorry that I hurt your feelings and made you feel like you donāt matter because that is so far from the truth. All of you matter to me but you, Patton....you matter the most to me. I know it should not be that way but I cannot help myself,ā he looks down trying to hide his blush and thus, missing the smile Patton sends his way, āI will do better to not let the words and actions of the others get under my skin and frustrate me. I will also do better to not take that frustration out on others, especially you.ā
The sound of ceramic meeting wood draws Loganās gaze back to Patton - the mug of tea sits empty on his night stand as he holds his arms out for a hug.Ā
Of course, Logan gives in, but only after his own mug joins Pattonās.
Once he has Logan where he wants him, Patton maneuvers them into a more comfortable position for cuddling causing Logan to chuckle but notĀ make any effort to move.Ā
āThank you, Logan,ā he whispers.Ā
Logan kisses the nearest part of Pattonās head he can reach.
āOf course, Patton.ā
They slowly drift off to sleep for a well-deserved nap.

Logan raises an eyebrow at Pattonās statement though from the look he is getting from the moral side, his facial expression isnāt fully functional.
āNonsense, Patton. Thereās simply no reason for you to do so. Now, why donāt you run along and do whatever it is,ā Logan yawns, āthat you enjoy doing at night and let me keep working. Someone around here needs to,ā he yawns again, āensure that Thomas has one productive day before his vacation.ā
Patton sighs.
Moving across the room, he knew Logan wouldnāt believe him so thereās only one thing left to do...prove Logan wrong.
Logan watches Patton in confusion.
Quicker than Logic expects, Patton grabs his laptop from the dining room table, closes it before placing it gently on the counter behind him; at least he treats it better than Roman does.
āPatton, honestly. I need my computer in order to keep working,ā states Logan firmly.
Patton grabs Loganās arm and gently pulls him up from his chair and before Logan can react, he sweeps him up into his arms into a princess hold causing Logan to blush because he really didnāt think Patton would go through with his threat and heās surprisingly strong for someone who appears to be so soft and gentle.
The sight of Loganās blush causes Patton to chuckle.
āAww, youāre so cute when you blush, Lo!ā
Loganās blush deepens at the compliment and he canāt help hiding his face in Pattonās neck.
This, of course, offers Patton the opportunity heās been waiting for in order to drag or rather, carry Logan away from his work to get some rest.
Logan huffs, blowing air against Pattonās neck when he feels them heading up the stairs towards their rooms.
āYouāre really doing it,ā he looks up at Patton with a soft smile, āwhen I think you canāt surprise me anymore, you go ahead and prove me wrong. In the best of ways, of course.ā
Logan didnāt want Patton to misunderstand his words and his clarification proves fruitful when Patton stops walking to kiss him on his forehead.
Opening the bedroom door, Patton carries Logan the short distance between door and before setting him down gently. The softness of the bed immediately informs Logan, heās not in his own room causing him to look at Patton who settled down besides him on the bed.
At the confused stare he gets from Logan, Patton laughs as he curls up next to him.
āHonestly, Lo; taking you to your room would have done nothing in regards to getting you to rest. So, I brought you to my room so I can make sure it happens,ā comments Patton.
Logan rolls his eyes but makes no effort to move because the bed trapped him with its comfort and Pattonās presence at his side makes it difficult to leave if he really wanted to.
Kissing the nearest part of Loganās head he can reach, Patton snuggles up to him.
āYouāre okay, Loganā¦to go to sleep. I can keep the effects of my room at bay for you if thatās keeping you from falling asleep,ā he comments softly.
Logan smiles at him.
āI assure you it is not but I appreciate the concern and effort on my part,ā Logan replies just as softly.
However, he lets his eyes close and shifts in position so both he and Patton are comfortable. If he happens wrap his arm around Patton and cuddle close to himā¦well, Pattonās the only one whoād know.

āAre you sure all of this is necessary, Patton?ā asks Logan.
Theyāre pushing two full carts through the aisles of the office supply store in preparation for returning to school in a couple weeks.
āWell yeah, Logan, it is.ā Patton looks between two different packs of pens then the long list in hands before tossing one pack into each cart. Then he returns to the selection on pens on the wall.
Logan frowns in response. The amount of supplies Pattonās planning to purchase is illogical but Loganās struggling with how to tell him without hurting his feelings.
āYou donāt really think this is all for me, do you?ā asks Patton.
Blinking is the only response he receives and it causes him to grin at his boyfriend.
āEverything in my cart is for me while everything in your cart is for the community centerās annual supply drive to help the public-school teachers out over the year. Everyone knows they donāt get enough for their classrooms. I donate every year because Iāve had some amazing teachers who helped kids who werenāt as privileged as I was and am,ā explains Patton.
Oh.
Logan stares at Patton as if seeing him for the first time.
āI try to do some good and hope it spreads out into the universe,ā he says softly.
Logan smiles before giving him a chaste kiss on the lips.
āJust when I think I canāt fall anymore in love with you, you go and surprise me. Thank you for letting me be a part of this in some small way,ā comments Logan.
Patton grins brightly.
āLove you too, Lo. What do you say we wrap this up, check out then go grab a bite to eat?ā asks Patton.
āSounds perfect, Patton.ā
They turn their attention to their respective carts before maneuvering them to the check out lanes before separating for a few minutes so they could get out of the store faster but not before Patton gives Logan a gift card to use to pay for the supplies in his cart. With their carts packed with bags, they head out to the car and load it up.
Logan looks at his boyfriend in awe because he got so lucky to have a wonderful man like Patton fall in love with him.
