It was another late night in the apartment, the lights were all turned off except for the light above the stove that Leo insisted stay on at all times and the television that was turned on to the gaming console in their living room. The soft gray couch turned into Logan’s little bungalow while he was in the apartment alone for the weekend.
Leo had a friend from back home that was graduating college and she was only able to get the one last seat for Leo to go and Finn had volunteered with his parents to set up drink stations for one of the many marathons the state of New York hosted. And Logan… was here. He was supposed to go with Finn to New York but he was cursed with a stomach bug that made its way around the team, courtesy of Harry…and Harry’s friends at daycare.
The second he was alone in the apartment after dropping Leo and Finn at the airport, he was hustling into their closet and pulling out one of Leo’s black and gold New Orleans Saints sweatshirts and a pair of Finn’s gray sweatpants. He brought the big blanket they all used to sleep under to the couch and his pillow and settled in. Leo even made him chicken soup to eat to help his stomach while they were gone.
He turned on YouTube and started watching TheRadBrad play Resident Evil while he slowly ate the heated up chicken soup in a dark green cozy. The bowl was one that Leo had brought from home, white ceramic with green leaves painted on it.
“Whenever I was sick, my momma would bring me her chicken soup in this bowl every single time. I swear it is part of the healing process,” Leo had sat the bowl in Finn’s lap when he was going through the stomach bug.
Logan heard the vibration of his phone against the arm of the couch, he leaned forward and gently placed the bowl on the coffee table and reached under the pillow where he had placed his phone.
Leo ☀️: Hey sweetheart, make sure you eat some soup today. I love you 💕
Finn 🦞: Pure magic. Don’t know how Butter does it. Love you baby 💘
Logan smiled, a bit sadly he had to admit, he reached forward and grabbed the bowl and took a selfie for them. He sent it and immediately received heart eyes reactions from Finn and hearts from Leo.
Leo ☀️: Wish we could be there to snuggle you sweetheart
Finn 🦞: That’s it I’m coming home
Logan ⚜️: Non, Rouge. I will be okay. I love you
Logan put his phone down and finished eating up his soup. He reluctantly left his blanket nest and washed his bowl in the sink. Leo probably would have yelled at him for washing the dishes while being sick. He took some medicine from the cabinet, taking it with a swig of water from a glass.
Logan could not begin to tell you when he had fallen asleep, but he was tucked and cuddled away on the couch and he was curled up holding his stomach. It did not hurt as bad as it did the day before but he still was not feeling good.
The sound of the front door latching made him wake up a bit more and he heard two sets of footsteps walking down the hallway to the bedroom.
“Sweetheart?,” Leo asked, walking back down the hallway. Leo’s footsteps then turned into the living room and he stopped hovering over the couch. The second set of footsteps came and stopped right beside Leo.
“Baby, what are you doing out here?,” Finn asked, his hand resting on Leo’s lower back.
Logan sat up looking up to them. “You are not supposed to be home until tomorrow,” he said softly. His voice was a little hoarse and raspy and his stomach started to ache again.
“Told my momma I needed to come back and take care of you since you’re sick,” Leo walked around the couch, minding the blankets and the cords that Logan had brought out to charge his phone and the controller. He grabbed the glass of water from the coffee table and handed it to Logan to take a drink from.
“You looked a little worse for wear in that picture, Haley and Ramsey understand,” Finn said. “But really, what are you doing out here? We have a great bed back there.”
“It’s too big by myself, I like it out here more when you’re not here,” Logan answered.
Leo kissed his head after brushing some of the messy curls off of his forehead. “C’mon sweetheart, let’s go snuggle.” Leo took the big blanket off of him and started walking it back to their room.
Finn grabbed the pillow, then grabbed Logan’s hand after he had stood up. “You’re too cute,” Finn hummed, guiding Logan to their room.
“Thought you said I looked worse for wear,” Logan responded.
“You do, absolutely. But sleeping out here when we aren’t here, that is very cute,” he said. Logan’s back had ended up pressed against Finn’s chest as they walked to the room.
“Middle,” Logan carefully made his way into the center of the bed as Finn and Leo took off their shoes and closed him in.
The soup was indeed magical as it had helped him feel better as he ate through it.
Being here though, in bed with his boyfriends, that was already doing what he needed.
