Chapter Text
Logan double and tripled checked his mental list as he waited outside his car in the hospital parking lot. Everything needed was packed in the car, the apartment was locked and the lights were all off, and he had a full tank of gas. Everything was perfect, and now he just had to wait for Patton to arrive. He should have gotten off 5 minutes ago but would need to get his things from his locker and make his way to the parking lot.
He was watching the door Patton would come out of intently so he immediately saw when two figures exited the building and started moving toward the parking lot.
Remy nudged Patton and pointed at Logan when they got close and Patton looked over. Patton’s eyes lit up when they fell on him and Logan felt himself smile back.
“Oh god,” Remy said with an eyeroll when they were in range. “Have a good sex weekend you two.” Patton reached over to slap him on the shoulder lighter than Logan would have done, but Logan couldn’t be too displeased by his lack of sufficient violence considering the next moment he was in Logan’s arms.
Logan pressed a kiss to the top of his head. “How was work, dear?”
“Long,” Patton mumbled into his chest.
“He’s been rotating between being excited about the trip and complaining that he’s not already on the trip all day,” Remy offered. “I expect restitution for my suffering in the form of coffee when you get back.”
Logan’s eyes flickered to him. “Could you just leave?”
“They’re canoodling in the hospital parking lot and tell me to leave like I’m in their bedroom,” Remy mumbled to himself even as he continued to his car and opened the door. Logan felt Patton shake his head in exasperation against his chest. “See you two next week.”
When Patton pulled back from the hug, Logan pressed a kiss to his cheek eliciting a grin. “I brought you dinner that you can eat in the car,” he said, taking Patton’s hand and pulling him toward the vehicle, “as well as the largest sized hot chocolate that I could find. If you don’t want that, I also brought bottles of water.”
“The hot chocolate is perfect,” Patton told him. “Are you sure you don’t want me to drive at least part of the way?”
“It’s only a two-hour drive and I have the map memorized already so it makes more sense for me to drive rather than give directions.”
“If you’re sure,” Patton said with a smile, tugging softly at his tie.
Logan leaned into him. “I’m sure.”
“Mmmkay,” Patton agreed, pushing up on his tiptoes to kiss him soundly. They were interrupted by a loud car honk. Logan drew back and “waved” at Remy as he drove out of the parking lot.
“Logan!” Patton gasped, scandalized, but he couldn’t even manage to keep the chiding look on his face for more than a moment.
“He deserves it,” Logan grumbled.
Patton laughed lightly. “Yeah, he probably does.”
Logan pressed another quick kiss to the corner of his mouth and then opened the passenger side door for him. Patton picked up his dinner off his seat before he hopped in. Logan rounded the car and slid into the driver’s seat.
“Happy anniversary eve, eve, eve!” Patton chirped happily when he started the car.
Logan chuckled and grabbed his hand to press a quick kiss to his knuckles. “I think that saying so when there are that many ‘eve’s is perhaps unnecessary, but I appreciate the sentiment.” Patton just grinned and unwrapped the sandwich Logan had brought him to take a bite.
Patton giggled suddenly as they were pulling out of the parking lot.
“What?” Logan asked, glancing over at him.
“You flipped him the bird,” he said, eyes sparkling with mischief. “Bluebird flipped him the bird.”
Logan sighed. “That is your one allocated pun for this trip.”
“Well, I sure hope I don’t accidently say another one. I don’t what to know the consequences if I trip up again.”
“I’m driving home,” he said dryly even as he took the wrong turn for that, Patton giggling all the way.
