The last of them fell down, the fire was growing and consuming the building and then it was over.
So now what?
He'd seen it, Logan's mind. He'd seen his thoughts and feelings when he went berserk for him . Logan saw him dying and let himself be consumed by the part of him that wasn't human. Logan almost hurt innocents because of him no, for him.
So what do they do now? Do they go separate ways and forget this happened and go back to how things used to be. He couldn't do that after what just happened to them. It felt too intimate.
They had shared a body, and in a way a heart and now he's supposed to just go up to Logan and say ' okay see ya when you got a high ass bounty on your head and I try to kill you again! Or when I'm brainwashed again and you and I are forced to work together so the whole world doesn't go to shit'
' That doesn't sound that bad honestly'
' Who knows he might even say something sweet'
" In your dreams" Wade says " The closest to sweet nothings we'll ever get from him is him saying our name"
Logan turns twords him and just stares at him.
" Why are you staring at me like I'm a 400 pound elephant with crayons for teeth and a banana for a nose? Not my best work but that's how you're staring now. Like I'm a 400 pound elephant with cray-"
" Fucking Wade Wilson" Logan says with an annoyed tone.
" Hey! It's ' Fucking Deadpool', during work hours.Your work ethic is as clean as you are jeez"
"I don't fucking sound like that"
" Uh yes you do!"
" I don't"
" You do"
" I don't"
" I said you do! Even in your own head when you were talking about me you do! I have to admit it did turn me on a bit hearing you speak about me like that, it was sweet"
Logan grabbed Wade by the collar so they were only 1 inch away from each other faces " No, I don't sound like that" Logan says almost growling and Wade chuckles at him for a second and then boops his nose.
" Awww would look at you, you've got a soft spot for me now! Your kitty claws didn't come out, unike me. I came out years ago, but some writers happen to be weak ass pussies to ever let me get vitamin D officially"
" Which is kinda sad really, fragile masculinity at it's finest if you ask me. I haven't been like that since 1997, Wish I could say the same about you. But don't worry, you'll get there" Wade said then patt Logans shoulder.
He expexted a ' snikt ' to be heard but Logan was just holding him by the collar and staring at him and not in the usual angry eyes and frowny face, this one was soft, just like when they were stuck in the North of Russia. It happened way too fast and yet so slow at the same time.
Logan removed one of his hands from Wade's collar, his eyes softened, and with his free hand he reached for Wade mask , Wade could feel Logans fingers gently tracing his neck and when he felt Logan pulling at the end of his mask, Wade pulled away. Logan blinked and lowered his hand as silence overtook the area.
" What was that for" Wade asked, but it wasn't a real question. He didn't want to know the answer to it. Luckily for him it seemed Logan didn't have an answer judging from how his mouth would open and close almost as if he was speechless from his own acts.
Not only did he not say anything, but he also started leaving.
' Already? But we were having a moment!'
' Read the room idiot, it wasn't a moment. We clearly had something stuck in our neck or something'
" You're leaving?" Wade asked without thinking, his
voice a sad whisper.
' Wow, he's stupid'
' Well he is us so you're calling us stupid'
' Nuh uh, we wouldn't ask a question like that!'
But even if Wade's voice was but a whisper Logan could hear it, he might not listen to Wade but he does hear him. So he stops moving, he stays there for a few seconds with his back turned to Wade and then says " Yes,' m going. The whiskey ain't drinking itself" and maybe it was poor judgment on his part, or maybe he had head trauma from earlier or something but instead of leaving after said he was leaving he asked Wade "You coming or no? Not going to wait for you all day Wade"
Wade had all the right to be surprised and he was surprised and he did almost fall and he did run a bit to catch up to Logan so what! Sue him for actually wanting to be Logans friend!
' Yea, sure,his' friend '
' Oh shut up, he'll get there when he gets there! '
' Yea, in 800 years '

When Logan invited Wade for a drink, Wade assumed at a bar or something like that. He didn't expect to head to Logans home. And not some hotel room or anything. The place they were in was lived in, it had Logans suits, a few photos here and there, bottles of whisky and whatnot. "First time I'm in your house and it's not because I broke in" Wade says as Logan passes him a glass. " Baby steps"
The TV was on, a few bottles were placed on the table next to their glasses. It went about how one would think it would go. They couldn't get drunk, not for long anyway. They could pretend they got drunk sure. But it wouldn't feel the same.
" I have an idea and about 4 pounds of coke"
" I don't wanna hear it"
" You're just a meanie"
" No, I'm just honest"
" Sure, you are. That's why you told me what the hell you were doing to my neck"
Again, silence. No other sound but the sound of the TV and the bottles being put down after the glasses were filled.
" You won't say it? Of course you won't Typical"
" Ain't nothing you'll gain from me telling you why"
" You don't get to be the judge of that, Logan"
A glass shattered, Logan's eyes turned to Wade, it was the same eyes as earlier and before that. He didn't know.
Well at least he thought he didn't know.
But he half realized now. Maybe he was being too bold and maybe he had a few lose screws. Last time Wade asked him out he said ' Are you high?' which wasn't really a no. What could go wrong right? Nothing much to lose other than their newfound understanding of one another.
Wade gets up from the couch anyway, he sits by Logan and looks at him in the eye. " Logan?" Wade asks " Are you dying of old ag-" his words got cut off.He doesn't even get a chuckle out before he's cut off But not by a ' fuck off Deadpool' or some highly profound bullshit. No, he was cut off by a kiss.
It was rough and moist and almost sweet. Logan was pushing him to lay down on the couch, his hands roaming to Wades body before rising up to his neck, and again like before he was gently touching Wades neck, and this time when he tried lifting Wade's mask off, Wade let him.
Logan pulled the mask off and threw it to the ground almost angrily and then he pulled Wade's mouth in a deep kiss. It didn't last as Wade cut off the kiss by putting his arms in between them to stop Logan .
He was staring at Logan doe-eyed, his lips open and a bit bruised from the kiss. Logan looked soft, so soft when he grabbed Wade's hands and pushed them down, his mouth now aiming for Wade's neck. Biting where it could as deep as he could. " Wait!"
" Wait two seconds, we, are you alright ? Like did you get something stuck in your brain?"
Logan didn't answer he just stared at Wade. His hands were, funnily enough trembling. Just like Wade's own hands.
" ' m sorry" the world went quiet.
For the first time ever, had Wade heard Logan say sorry.
