Fluffy fic of extreme amounts of fluff. After, of course, you get over the angst. :\
To the song Sky, by Joshua Radin (ft. Ingrid Michaelson)
I woke dreaming we had broke
Dreaming you left me for someone new
And you cried, drying those brown eyes
Crying you're sorry - sorry won't do
((Logan stared in horror at Julian’s hand - the hand he had tangled with someone else. A beautiful blond woman with startling blue eyes that watched Logan with pity, like she knew that his heart was breaking in two, that things would never be the same and he wouldn’t feel joy again.
“Logan, I’m...” Julian trailed of with a sniff, curling his sleeve over the heel of his hand and using the soft cotton to press against his eyes, mopping up the tears threatening to spill over. The girl smiled at him, reaching up to tuck a lock of hair behind his ear. Julian took a deep breath and looked Logan in the eye, “I’m sorry but I can’t, I can’t do this anymore. I’m going.”
Logan couldn’t move, watching as the floor between them expanded, moving Julian farther and farther away from him. Julian’s face twisted with sorrow. “I’m sorry, Logan - I’m so sorry -”
“You’re sorry?” Logan asked numbly, and looked down to see himself covered in blood, draining sluggishly from his heart.
“Sorry won’t do.”))
But this is the way I need to wake
I wake to you
And you never left me
All that I dreamt had been untrue
Logan gasped and sat up in bed, blinking at the sunlight beginning to stream in through the open window. He’d - they’d - forgotten to close it last night after having been out so late, and distracted by more pressing matters. He shook his head and ran a hand through his hair, making a displeased face at the sweat covering his torso. His breathing was still labored, and his heart was racing, but he was fine. Just a dream.
There was a small, displeased nose at his side, and Logan looked down to see Julian, sleepy and rumpled and blinking blearily at Logan through his eyelashes. “Wass wron’?” he slurred, still half-gone.
“Nothing,” Logan sighed and flopped back down onto his back, pulling Julian close. Julian made an annoyed sound, but snuggled closer until he was half-laying on Logan, his leg and arm thrown over the blond and his head tucked beneath Logan’s chin.
Logan rubbed small circles into Julian’s lower back and glanced out the window, watching the sun rise.
Julian laughed, twirling around the bright room, sunlight brightening his to a light caramel, dancing with humor as he danced around the room, just barely out of Logan’s reach with every fluid move. His voice melded seamlessly with Logan’s, and Logan couldn’t remember how he’d ever not been in love with this boy, with his grace and his bright smiles, his sarcastic humor and endless amounts of love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know the way to keep me on my toes
I, I, I will be fine - just say you'll stay forever mine
'Til we fall asleep tonight
”Logan, it’s my job!”
”And I’m your boyfriend! I think I deserve some time from you!”
”Logan.” A breath. “It’s for three weeks. That’s it.”
A snarl. “You’ve been back for three days Julian. I know this is your career, but I barely see you any more.”
”No, Jules. I miss you, and I love you, but I don’t really want to talk to you right now. Good night.
Last night, we had a great fight
I fell asleep in a horrible state
Then dreamt that you loved my best friend
My heart would not mend - seemed it was fate
”Oh, Jules. You’re back,” Logan said, reluctantly pulling his mouth from Sebastian’s neck.
But not his hand from down his pants.
The world went blurry, and Julian suddenly realized he wasn’t breathing. “Logan...?”
”Sorry, Jules - you were gone too long. S and I - well. We’ve gotten to know each other rather well.”))
But this is the way I need to wake
I wake to you
And you never left me
All that I dreamt had been untrue
Open my eyes
I see sky
Julian made his way shakily downstairs, wanting to get some coffee in him and never sleep again. The image of Logan and Sebastian was still stuck in his head, and while in some other situation it might have been hot, but right now it just made him sick.
Walking into the kitchen, he was surprised to see Logan lounging against the counter, still dressed in his school clothes, sans blazer and tie. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the first few buttons undone, but considering it was two o’clock in the morning, it was strange he wasn’t asleep.
”Logan?” he asked, voice quivering. He winced at the echo of the words from his dream, but before he could say something else, Logan was putting his cup on the counter with a frown, concerned.
”Babe? What’s wrong? You’re shaking and look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
”I’m -” his throat closed up and he blinked rapidly, eyes burning. Logan’s expression had gone from concerned to alarmed, and he rushed over to take Julian into his arms, holding him tight and shushing him gently.
”I’m sorry,” Julian gasped into Logan’s shirt, still shaking and grateful for Logan’s warmth. “You’re right, I shouldn’t take the role. It’s not that important and - and I shouldn’t be gone so much -”
”Hey, hey,” Logan interrupted, pulling back and cupping Julian’s cheek, looking into Julian’s eyes. “Hush, babe. We’ll talk about this later all right? We need to get you back to sleep.”
Julian tensed, tightening his hold on Logan’s shirt. “Will you stay?” he asked, uncharacteristically shy. The dream had him all over the place.
Logan’s eyes softened, though the concerned frown stayed. “Of course.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know the way to keep me on my toes
I, I, I will be fine - just say you'll stay forever mine
'Til we fall asleep tonight
Julian loved watching Logan sing, his voice strong and clear and easily the most beautiful of any he’s heard. He poured himself into his music like few others did, and it thrummed through the air around him and made him seem like a strange, fae creature full of energy and life. He could easily understand how he was the lead Warbler for so long.
Julian danced out of his reach easily, smiling coyly, a rush of excitement flashing down his spine as Logan’s eyes flickered, the green darkening as he chased after Julian. It was a heady thing, to be the sole subject of Logan’s intense focus, whether during a playful duet, or in bed, when Logan’s only goal seemed to be to reduce one to a trembling mess of need.
Sometimes I forget to love you like I should
But I'd never leave you - no, I never would
I never would
Logan lunged at him, grinning playfully as he caught Julian and twirled him around and into his arms, delighting at Julian’s bright laughter as he was captured. Julian slid out his grip, clasping Logan’s hands and spinning them around in a lilting dance, spinning on the toes of his shoes as he spun around around the room, dragging Logan along in the dance.
The spontaneous dance was easy to follow, and Logan found himself laughing along with Julian as they spun through the bright conservatory, sunlight filtering in and casting an unworldly glow around them, brightening the vibrant plants around the room and making the white marble glow.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know the way to keep me on my toes
I, I, I will be fine - just say you'll stay forever mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know the way to keep me on my toes
I, I, I will be fine - just say you'll stay forever mine
'Til we fall asleep tonight
'Til we fall asleep tonight
