Chapter six
C.R.E.A.M
“You know, I’ve never kidnapped anyone before,” Alec said, pausing in the doorway.
“Me neither,” Jack commented, leaning on the doorframe next to Alec.
“It was fun,” Alec grinned and Jack nodded his head in agreement.
Logan rolled his eyes and shut off his computer. “Why doesn’t it surprise me that you both enjoyed it?”
“Because tying people up is a kink of mine?” Alec suggested, a wicked smirk on his face.
“Urgh!” Jack pulled a face. “You two are disgusting,” he scowled, heading into the sitting room to watch Logan’s television.
“So you have a kinky side?” Logan grinned up at him.
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Alec smirked, sliding his hands around Logan’s back and pulling him to his feet.
“Al, I don’t know if that’s such a good idea,” Logan said, looking down at the chair nervously as he gripped hold of Alec’s biceps almost tight enough to leave bruises.
“It’s okay, I’ve got you,” Alec reassured him, tightening his grip on Logan’s waist. “Just trust me,” he whispered in Logan’s ear.
Logan tentatively released Alec’s arms, smiling in relief when he felt Alec’s transgenic strength holding him steady. “Of course I trust you,” he smiled at Alec. The younger man grinned and pulled Logan closer, holding him flush against his own body. Logan’s hands went up to bury themselves in Alec’s mousey brown hair. “I always have, always will,” he whispered, covering Alec’s lips with his own in a passionate kiss.
Alec pulled away, slightly out of breath. “I love you,” he murmured, almost too quietly for Logan to hear it, as he rested his forehead against Logan‘s.
Logan smiled and kissed him gently on the lips. “And I love you,” he whispered as Alec carefully lowered him back down into his wheelchair.

“Can I ask you a question?” Logan asked Alec and Jack a short while later. Alec nodded his head. “Were you guys actually born on the day you celebrate as your birthday?”
Alec frowned. “That is a really random question,” he commented. “But I doubt it. Manticore wasn’t big on the whole birthday thing.”
“So you just picked random days?” Logan questioned.
Jack nodded his head. “Alec was being his usual mean self and told people that my birthday was April 1st. After a while I didn’t see the point in arguing that it wasn’t so I decided to keep it. Why?” he asked curiously.
Logan shrugged his shoulders. “I was just curious,” he answered. “Did you know Max doesn’t have one?”
“Didn’t know,” Alec admitted. “Didn’t, and still don’t, care. You know, if I didn’t know better I’d say you wanted to shag her more than me,” he smirked.
Logan rolled his eyes. “Am I going to have to go make another sandwich?” Jack sighed.
Alec laughed, “You act that like it’s such a big chore. You know you want another one anyway. It’s a good job we’ve got a higher metabolism than most people, otherwise you’d be huge.” Jack just flipped him the bird.
Logan laughed at their antics and as they both turned their glare on him he asked, “Either of you want some grapefruit?”

“Jack, you think you can scour me a Gameboy?” Logan asked the blond transgenic as they sat at the journalists dining room table.
“A Gameboy?” Jack repeated, shovelling some food into his mouth. “They’re pretty hard to get nowadays,” he commented.
“I know that,” Logan said. “You get one or not?”
Jack shrugged. “Depends.”
“On?” Logan asked, knowing that Jack wasn’t going to make it easy for his best friends lover to get his hands on what he wanted.
“On what’s in it for me?” Jack replied. “Unlimited access to your kitchen?” he suggested.
Logan grinned and rolled his eyes. “Jack, you already have unlimited access to my kitchen. If you didn’t work in the market I’d have to go shopping everyday.”
Jack laughed and nodded his head in agreement. “Good point,” he agreed. “Fine, you have to make me a surprise three course meal if I can get my hands on one.”
Logan chuckled. “Most people would ask for money but I think I do that. Even though, since you know about it, it won’t be a surprise,” he pointed out.
“It will be if I don’t know what you’re making me,” Jack replied, holding his hand out across the table towards Logan.
“In that case,” Logan grinned, putting his hand in Jack’s, “deal.”

“Why doesn’t Max like guns?” Logan asked Jack and Alec as they sat in his office. Alec and Jack exchanged glances but otherwise didn’t say a word. “What?” Logan questioned. “Don’t look like that. It makes me feel like I’ve missed something major.”
“When we,” Jack started to say.
“Back at Manticore a friend of ours got shot for finding one. They were shot in cold blood and died. Max hasn’t liked them ever since and I can’t say I’m too keen on them either.”
“Why?” Jack asked.
“I gave her one, for protection,” Logan shrugged.
Alec smiled, “Logan, we hardly need to be protected with guns,” he reminded him.
“Can’t hurt to have extra protection,” Logan retorted. “I just don’t want anything to happen to any of you.”
“It won’t,” Alec assured him, reaching over and squeezing his hand gently.
“Yeah, Logan,” Jack added, patting Logan on the shoulder. “We’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry about us.”

“Why are you spending today in the library?” Alec asked, trying to push Logan’s books to one side and get his attention.
“Because, unlike you, my job depends on me actually doing something not just giving packages to the wrong people.” Logan didn’t look up, he merely continued writing.
“That happened one time,” Alec rolled his eyes. “It was two years ago and an accident, are you ever going to let me forget it?”
Logan laughed and shook his head, still not looking up. “Eventually,” he shrugged.
“Well as much as I like you, I don’t fancy spending all day in the library so I’m gonna go hang with Jack for a bit. See you later?” he asked, placing a hand under Logan’s chin and making the other man look up at him.
“Definitely,” Logan agreed and, seeing that they were alone, he placed a soft kiss on the transgenic’s lips. “Watch out for the…”
“Hoverdrome’s,” Alec finished for him, smirking at him as he left the library.

“Do I make everything about me?” Logan asked Alec.
“What?” Alec asked in surprise. Logan’s question had been so out of the blue that it had thrown him for a loop. They had been talking about Alec’s day one minute and then the question appeared. Logan repeated the question and Alec was still as surprised as before. “No!” he scoffed. “You’re the most unselfish person I know, Logan. How many people would open their home to a complete stranger and baby them until they recover from the bout of flu they’d caught because they hadn’t taken care of themselves?” he asked.
Logan smiled at him. “I wouldn’t just help anyone,” Logan argued.
“Yes, you would.”
Logan shrugged, “Well, maybe. But I felt a pull towards you that day. Max said I always make things about myself.”
Alec rolled his eyes. “For god sake. You’ll believe something Max said instead of me?” Alec asked incredulously. “The girl you’ve practically only just met or the guy you’ve been sleeping with for the past three years?”
Logan grinned, “Well when you put it like that, how can I not believe you?”

“Are you okay?” Alec asked quietly. Logan was gazing out of the window absentmindedly. “Logan,” Alec repeated, stepping closer to the brunette slowly. “What’s wrong?”
“I killed him, Alec,” Logan whispered, glancing at Alec out of the corner of his eye. “He was my friend and I got him killed.”
“No, you didn’t,” Alec argued, crouching down next to Logan’s chair. “You’re a good man who believed that an orphaned daughter wanted to know what happened to her father. You couldn’t have known that she had ulterior motives. You did the right thing, it was her that chose her fathers fate. Not you. Please don’t blame yourself for what happened,” Alec practically begged.
Logan smiled, tears shining in his hazel eyes, “Thank you,” he whispered, running his fingers through Alec’s hair. “What would I do without you?” he smiled.
Alec grinned and brought Logan’s hand to his lips, kissing the back of his hand softly. “You’ll never have to find out,” he whispered, his brown eyes shining with love.
