<><><>

The high school senior’s face was dimly lit by the blue glow of his laptop screen. Across his desk was a small table lamp that illuminated his open chemistry textbook and notes. The lab write-up he was writing reflected in the lenses of square, black glasses. Logan had been studying for a few hours now in silence, only moving downstairs every so often to refill his mug with some coffee, a little cream and two sugars as always. The only disturbance to break the silence was when tapping came from Logan’s second-story window. 

Logan glanced over to see his boyfriend, Roman, peeking in, sitting on the roof outside with a weak smile. His reddish-brown hair was tousled instead of neatly set like usual. He was in a NASA hoodie that he'd stolen from Logan the last time he stayed over and a pair of his own black sweatpants, socks instead of shoes. Logan quirked an eyebrow as he walked over and opened the window, “Roman? What’s up-”

Roman hugged Logan before he could finish his sentence, relaxing into his arms almost instantly as he took a shaky breath. Logan’s eyes widened and he froze for a few moments before wrapping his arms around Roman and pulling him close. He hugged him tight and gently pulled Roman the rest of the way through the window, sitting him down on the edge of his bed before pulling away and kneeling down in front of him, “Roman, what’s going on?”

Roman took a deep breath and rubbed his already red and puffy eyes before looking at his boyfriend, “C-can I stay here for the night?”

Logan took a deep breath and gave a weak smile, nodding as his heart broke a bit. He grabbed the tan blanket folded neatly on the edge of his bed and wrapped it around his normally vivacious lover’s shoulders, “Of course you can, did something happen at home babe?”

Roman pulled the blanket around himself a bit more and nuzzled the fluffy texture of the blanket, “My parents are fighting, it was too loud to sleep.” 

Logan frowned, his heartbreaking a bit as he sat down beside roman, wrapping an arm around them, “Is...that all?”

Logan’s expression shifted to one of concern as he rubbed Roman’s arm through the sleeve of the hoodie, “Escalate?” 

Roman looked down, rubbing the back of his neck anxiously as his bangs fell in front of his crimson eyes, “My dad threw a plate,” he looked back at Logan, “Not at anyone but...” he paused before a little awkward laugh came out, “I haven’t heard that sound in a while and I just...”

Logan tilted his head, , “Startled?”

Roman nodded, “Y-yeah...I just, don’t want to be around it..”

Logan nodded, “I get that...here-” Logan got up and grabbed his laptop and notes before moving back to the bed. He laid down with Roman, Roman’s head on his chest, before pulling the blankets over them and setting up his studying materials. Roman nuzzled Logan, eyes slipping shut as he took a deep breath, “I love you..” he whispered.
