Illogical Love (Part One)

Start from the beginning
                                    

Roman looked at Patton, his hand now off his mouth. Roman's eyes were wide and excited. Help him! Roman mouthed. Patton let out a breath of air he didn't realize he was holding in. Patton grabbed book by book that felt like it'd go on forever. After what felt like eternity, all the books were picked up and after a small lecture from Virgil, Logan finally agreed to put some of his books in his back pack.

They all finally stood up and Logan gave a tiny wave. "Thank you for your assistance." He then turned around and began to walk off with Virgil next to him.

Patton turned to Roman. "Well that was fun. A little awkward. But fun!"

"It's not too late!" Roman jumped.

"What?"

Roman rolled his eyes. "Go ask him on a date! Like coffee or something!"

"Roman, we just met!"

"Fine. Then I'll do it."

"What?!"

Roman ignored him and began walking towards Logan and his friend. Patton began to panic. What was he supposed to do? Before Patton could think of somethimg to stop them, Roman was there smiling at Logan and his friend. Who knew what he would say of Patton wasn't there! Patton ran over to them.

"Patton wanted to know if-" Roman began to say but before he could finish Patton jumped over and cut him off.

"If both of you wanted to come with me and Roman for coffee on Friday."

Logan gave Patton a blank look and looked over at Virgil for help. Virgil shrugged. "Sure. I mean we're not doing anything. Right, Logan?"

Logan put his finger on his chin. "Well actually-" Logan heard a low growl from Virgil and Logan realized he didn't exactly have a choice in the matter. Logan breathed heavily and said, "no. I am doing absolutely nothing on Friday morning."

"Brilliant!" Roman belittled out. He pointed to Virgil and smiled. "Virgil, right?"

Virgil nodded and shook his hand. "And you're that wannabe show off prince everyone talks about."

Roman smiled. "Oh I'll get you for that one."

Virgil chuckled along with Roman as well. Logan took a huff of breath as the bell rang. "Well it can't be now because we're headed to class. See you on Friday!" Logan called as he headed down the corridor. Virgil gave a small wave (which at the same time looked like a finger gun) and whipped around to join Logan.

Patton sighed. "Now that was just awkward."

Roman laughed. "Well I think that was fun."

Patton looked up at Roman. "What if Logan doesn't even show up?!"

Roman shrugged. "I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think that Virgil guy gave him much of a choice."

Patton stared down the hall where both Logan and Virgil were now gone. "Great. Now he's coming unhappily."

Roman hesitated. "I-it'll be fine, Patton. I promise. He'll have a good time and so will you. It's just coffee."

"Your coming, right?"

"Well, of coarse. I mean you invited both of them, correct? It'd be awkward for Virgil if he was alone sitting there watching you two flirt."

Patton could feel his cheeks heat up. "Your the one you said it was just coffee!"

Roman laughed. "Well we should be going. Class started already. Let's go." And with that they were already down the hall, Patton's mind flooded with thoughts about everything that could go good or wrong on Friday morning."

Wednesday passed. After that, Thursday flew by like the wind. Finally, Friday rolled around and Patton felt panicked. "What if he doesn't like any of my jokes? What if he doesn't like coffee? What if he doesn't like mornings?!"

Roman rolled his eyes. "Just don't do anything you wouldn't do. Also, who actually likes mornings?"

"But What if he doesn't like anything I would do?" Patton asked, ignoring Roman's second comment.

"Then he's not the one for you. If he doesn't like anything that makes you, you, don't change just for him. It just messes you up." Roman sighed and stared off into space. "Trust me."

Patton nodded. "Okay. I'm ready. Let's go."

Roman smiled. "Good. Let's go."

They all met at a coffee shop call Cayote Coffee. Patton and Roman picked out a booth in the corner and waited. "I don't think he's coming." Patton said, his foot tapping frantically.

"Pat, please. It's been three minutes."

Just then, two figures came through the door, ringing the bell. Logan and Patton immediately locked eyes and Patton could feel his heart skip a beat. Logan pulled on Virgil's hoodie. Virgil noticed the booth Patton and Roman were sitting in and they both walked over to it. "Great!" Roman said breaking the silence. "So who's going up and ordering?"

Virgil shrugged. "I'm not doing it. I'm socially awkward."

Logan had his hand on his chin and was staring at the menu, scanning the options. Roman cleared his throat and Patton perked up to the noise. "I have an idea." Roman grabbed a napkin and a pen from his pocket and wrote down something and then passed it to Virgil. "Virgil and I will write down what we want on this napkin and you and Logan can go up and get what you want."

Virgil wrote some things down and passed it towards Logan. "Logan grabbed the napkin and stood up. "Come on...Patton?" Logan had said that as more of a question than a statement. Then again, they did only meet a few days ago. Patton stood up and smiled. They both walked over to the counter and scanned the menu.

"There's so many options. I never know what to get," Logan huffed.

Patton giggled. "Yeah. It takes me a while to choose too. But you know what they say..." Logan stared at him questionably. "Bettter latte than never!"

Logan's mouth twitched as if he was trying not to laugh. Just then, a woman with a green tennis hat with superhero pins and an apron with a name tag came up behind the counter. "Hi, are you ready to take your order?" She asked kindly. Logan straightened his back and he nodded. "Um, yes. Apologies."

After they got their order, they sat down at the table while Roman and Virgil were in the middle of a conversation. Patton handed them their coffee and donuts and turned back to Logan. "So...what do you want to talk about?" Logan asked.

Patton stared down at his coffee with the whipped cream and sprinkles. "I'm...not sure. I mean there a latte off topics to talk about."

Logan snickered And Patton's smile grew.

"Here," Logan said smiling and twirling his straw. "I have a question for you." Patton scooted closer and let his chin rest on his hands. Logan gave a small smile. "Do you believe in destiny?"

Patton was hesitant with this question. He knew the exact answer. "Yes."

Logan nodded and turned his attention to his beverage. He gave a small sip and Patton then asked him a question. "Do you?"

Logan set his drink down. "I didn't used to. But now...I'm not entirely sure."

Logan stared into Patton's eyes longingly. Patton's smile grew even wider if that was even possible as both of them turned as red as roses.
