A/N: Hey, sorry this took so long to put up, I've been a bit busy lately. Anyways, I chose Comfort Crowd for the song and I hope you enjoy the chapter. Have a nice week!

"I'm warning you, it's kind of a mess." Oliver said, getting out of his car which was parked in front of the apartment complex.

"So is mine." Logan said.

"Your house is never a mess."

"Well it would be one if it wasn't cleaned once a week."

"It's also small." Oliver said with a sigh, walking up the steps to the second floor.

"That's okay."

"And there's only one bathroom."

"There are only two people living there."

"But it's just.." Oliver took a breath. "Just don't expect much."

"Okay." Logan said with a small smile and Oliver chuckled quietly, leaning down to peck his boyfriend's lips before he unlocked the door, opening up to a small living room with carpet and wallpaper that probably needed to be replaced by the looks of it. There was a small kitchen behind the living room without a wall between them and three doors.

"So, there's the bathroom, Judas' bedroom, and mine." Oliver said, pointing to each of the doors and Logan nodded with a small smile. "I know it's not much, but it's home, and it's better than my dad's place."

"You're safe here, and that's what matters." Logan said and Oliver nodded. "You should stop worrying about what I think, it's really not as bad as you make it seem." He said, walking around a bit. "Can I see your room?"

"Yeah, come on, I'll show you." Oliver said, opening up the door and gesturing for Logan to walk in, a smile on his face and Logan did. It was really just a small bed, some posters, a bookshelf, and a desk with a guitar leaning against it.

"Ooh, is that your guitar?" Logan asked with a little smile.

"In all it's glory, I think it's a bit out of tune though."

"Could you play just a little bit?" Logan asked.

"Not until you do a photoshoot."

"Where do you keep your camera stuff?"

"Oh, just in a bin under the bed. Did I tell you I got a gig this week?"

"Really?" Logan asked excitedly.

"Yeah, for a wedding."

"Oli, that's awesome! You're gonna do so good!"

"Shush, come on, let's head back out to the living room and find a show to watch."

"Did you just shush me?" Logan asked with a giggle, taking Oliver's hand as he walked out to the living room with him. Oliver glanced down to Logan's hand and the smaller boy blushed, glancing away.

"Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" Oliver asked in a teasing tone.

"Probably..beat you up or something." Logan said with a giggle.

"Wow, abusive much?" Oliver said with a chuckle as he sat down on the couch and pulled Logan into his lap.

"Well, you shouldn't have shushed me."

"Noted, I won't shush you." Oliver said with a laugh and Logan giggled.

They shifted around a bit to get into a more comfortable position laying on the couch and Logan laid his head partially on Oliver's chest and partially on the couch pillow, cuddling up in his boyfrined's arms as Oliver browsed around, looking for a show to watch.

"What about Black Mirror?" Oliver suggested and Logan thought about it for a moment before shaking his head a little.

"I'm not in the mood to have my brain melted. Maybe The Good Place though."

"You watch that shit?"

"It's not shit, I'm sorry if I don't want to always binge shows that make my head spin." Logan defended.

"Alright, fair enough, what about Sugar Rush?"

"I don't really like cooking shows."

"The Office?"

"I've seen it 3 times."

"Criminal minds?"

"Sure." Logan said and Oliver scrolled through to find it.

"Any preference for a season?" Logan shook his head a bit.

"Any episode is fine." He said and Oliver just picked a random one before setting the remote down, wrapping his arms around the boy again.

"You okay, bear?" He asked and Logan nodded a little, turning to Oliver a bit.

"Why?"

"You just seem a bit tense lately." Oliver said and Logan shrugged.

"I guess it's just a lot of little things, I'm just bad at dealing with stress and it adds up." He said, looking away.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Oliver asked, kissing the top of his head and Logan smiled, but shook his head.

"It's just another one of those things that I don't know how to fix...but having you around helps." He said softly and Oliver looked down at him with a small smile before kissing him, his hand cupping Logan's cheek.

"I'm glad I can be of service." Oliver said and Logan smiled, pulling his boyfriend closer to kiss him back. He pulled away after a few moments, looking up at Oliver before he bit his lip.

"We should um..you know, probably watch the show then." Logan said and Oliver chuckled softly, nodding.

"This episode looks good." Oliver said, pressing a button on the remote and then setting it down, wrapping his arm around Logan who smiled and cuddled closer to him.

Logan couldn't really care less what the episode was, it was the same as always, the killer was always caught in the end, he just liked laying down and curling up with Oliver. He thought maybe he was in love with Oliver, but he wasn't ready to tell him yet, even if they were together, he was worried about accidentally taking it too fast and scaring Oliver away. He also didn't want to ruin it all, things were so perfect at the moment, he didn't want to do anything to change that.

They'd only been laying there about twenty minutes before Logan heard the door unlocking and looked up from where he was laying, having been almost asleep a moment ago. The door opened to a man who looked a few years older than Oliver but still beared a resemblance to him with his dark hair and tall figure.

"Hey, how was work?" Oliver asked before he yawned, stretching a bit and leaning his elbow against the armrest of the couch, not moving from his position behind Logan.

"Slow." Judas said with a small smile before he sighed softly, his gaze shifting from Oliver to Logan. "Logan, right?" He asked and Logan nodded a little, sitting up slightly, reaching out his hand for Judas to shake.

"And you're Judas?" Logan asked, though he knew the answer, but Judas nodded with a small smile. "It's nice to meet you."

"You too." Judas said, then looking back to Oliver for a moment. "I've gotta head out again soon, I'm getting drinks with a few guys at work, can I pick you up anything for dinner on the way back?"

"Nah, that's fine, we've got food in the fridge, I'll just make something." Oliver said.

"Got it." Judas said. "Alright, well, you two have fun, I'll see you later tonight, text me if you need anything."

"Cool. Seeya." Oliver said and Judas nodded with a smile, heading back out the door.

Logan sat there for a moment before curling back up with Oliver.

"Did he just come home to check on you?" Logan asked with a small smile and Oliver nodded.

"Yeah, he just likes to make sure I'm good and we don't talk much during the week besides at night and when he drops in for a minute."

"That's kind of really sweet." Logan said with a giggle.

"Yeah, he's thoughtful like that." Oliver said with a shrug.

"So I guess you two are getting along then."

"Yeah, we've got a pretty good relationship..it's still a bit weird I guess, I mean, sometimes I just think I don't know him, I've never seen him like this, he was always so much like my dad, but he's just completely changed." Oliver said and Logan nodded, burying his face in Oliver's chest.

"I think he's nice." Logan said softly.

"Yeah, me too." Oliver said with a small smile. "Now come here, I wanna kiss you."

Logan giggled and leaned up to kiss his lips. Oliver tilted his head to the side a bit, pulling Logan closer by his waist and the redhead gently ran his fingers through Oliver's dark hair, tugging it gently as they kissed. Logan thought he could maybe spend forever like that, kissing and cuddling and laying around with nothing else to think about but maybe what they were going to watch next.

When Oliver pulled away after a minute or so, they were both panting softly, Logan's fingers still strung through Oliver's hair and Oliver smirked, gently taking Logan's hand, kissing his palm and Logan giggled softly, but his eyes widened and his smile faded when his sleeve fell down a bit, exposing the edge of the white bandage and he pulled his hand away quickly with a quiet gasp as if he'd just been burned by a hot stove.

"Was that-?"

"It was nothing." Logan said, pulling his sleeve back over his hand, looking away from Oliver.

"Bear.." Oliver started, cupping Logan's face and the boy looked up at him, chewing his lip nervously. "Just let me see." Oliver whispered and Logan laid there for a long time, considering it, before he nodded a little, keeping his eyes trained on the couch cushion as he held his wrist up a bit and Oliver gently pulled the sweater sleeve back, just staring at the bandage that reached down to almost Logan's elbow, wrapped tightly, but he could still see some areas where the blood must have seeped through. "When did you start again?" He asked quietly, as if he was afraid to ask, and Logan pulled his arm away, tugging the sleeve down.

"I-I was clean almost 6 months til last fall..but I didn't start again after getting out of the hospital for almost a year, then things kinda went to shit again and..I dunno, it's just been on and off." He said with a shrug, sniffling quietly and Oliver wiped a tear off his cheek. When had he started crying?

"Come here." Oliver said, pulling Logan into a hug, kissing the boy's head gently and Logan hid his face in Oliver's chest.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I know I should have, I just didn't know how to and..and I was scared." Logan said softly, sniffling and wiping at his eyes to ward off the tears as Oliver held him.

"Bear, I'm not mad at you." Oliver said softly. "Is there anything I can do?" He asked and Logan thought before he shook his head a little.

"Just..don't tell my dads, please, I don't know how to break it to them." He said and Oliver nodded a little, leaning down a bit to kiss Logan's nose.

"Just promise me you're trying to stop."

"I am, I have been, it's just..it's difficult." He said and Oliver nodded. "Do you..Do you still like me?" Logan asked, playing with his sleeves.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I dunno, I just thought that..maybe if you knew, you wouldn't..wanna deal with it." Logan said quietly and Oliver took Logan's hand, threading their fingers together.

"I wouldn't do that to you." Oliver said and Logan nodded a little, curling up closer to him.

"Can we maybe watch a movie?" Logan asked, turning over so he could face the screen. He didn't want to talk about it or think about it anymore and Oliver could tell that by his look so he nodded, grabbing the remote.

"What about planet earth?"

"Yeah, I could be in the mood for that." Logan said and smiled when he felt Oliver kiss his cheek.

It was a quiet afternoon after that, mostly spent watching movies switching between disney and animal planet documentaries, and Logan fell asleep at some point, he was pretty sure they both did actually, but he was just happy to get a nap in with how bad his sleep had been lately. When he left, it was around 8 pm and he remembered he had to go back to his regular shitty life with homework, and stress, and lies. He didn't want to plan dinner for himself that night, he just wanted to stay curled up on Oliver's couch, warm and safe, but nothing could stay that way forever.
