Logan Cale

Logan waited for Max to come over pacing back and forth. The virus was gone and this was their first night they were going to spend together virus free. He wasn't sure why he was so nervous. Part of it he knew was nerves that it wouldn't last long. That they'd get used to being in each other's arms again and the virus would come back. He tried shaking that from his mind needed to get it out of his head. He looked at the time and poured two glasses of wine. He didn't look expectantly at the door. He knew better then to expect Max Guevara to come knock on his door. She had her ways in, ways he still didn't know, ways that drove him crazy. There was nothing like turning and just having someone standing there. At least she never caught him with his pants down as it were.

He cooked her the garlic chicken she so loved that he made for her on several occasions. She loved his cooking always had. He paced then and looked up and smiled. There she was just standing in the doorway watching him like she did so many times. She wore all black as usual, everything clung to her form perfectly. He thought half the time she did it on purpose just to drive him crazy. He smiled as she walked over to him and instead of a hesitant hug she kissed him deeply. Something both had missed doing. She did pull back and look at him as if worried it had all been a trick and he was going to collapse. She smiled when all she got was one of his aloof smiles right at her. She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder. She was content to just stay there just like that for a few moments.

He allowed her to stay right there as long as she needed until she smelled the food and looked around. He laughed softly and took her hand leading her to the kitchen and sat down with her as they are. There were quick glances at one another as they ate. There was an awkward silence weighing over them. It had been so long since they could be together without worry of him getting sick. Together without them having to wear gloves to keep skin contact away. They could now touch without worry but it was strange. Both were tentative, yet both wanted it so bad. Needed to feel the other. Logan took a sip of his wine then as he watched her and smiled. The candlelight played off her face nicely and he couldn't help but stare a bit. When they were both finished eating they took their dishes to the sink. Both made points to purposely brush against the other as if testing again to see if they could touch with no worry of Logan getting sick.

The awkwardness seemed to ebb away after that as they moved into the bedroom and curled up next to one another. Logan's arms wrapped around her pulling her closer as Max nuzzled into him. Both needed this, just needed this contact. She slipped out of her clothing and helped him out of his. She wanted as much unrestricted contact she could get after being denied it so long. They fell asleep there together, tangled together. Content and happy to be able to touch the one they loved again without worry of Logan's death. Manticore loses another battle. Waiting it out had been hard, but so worth it. Logan and Max were back to the way they should be. As a couple.

8. A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it. - Oscar Wilde

It seems the more people who want to join the transgenic cause, five more pop up that think they are evil. Think all they want is to take over. The more people who see the truth that all they want is the chance to have a life. To settle down, get married, have kids. They want their kids to grow up safely. To not worry about them being hurt or ridiculed for being different.

I know them and they are really good people. The kind of people you want to have your back. I'm glad they have mine. I have theirs as well. Anything they need they will get.

It just seems that the more people that believe the truth, the more people see the lie. It's true for a lot of things and it has never made sense to me. Mainly because you'd think the more people that knew the truth, the less that wouldn't.

[locked to those who know he is Eyes Only]

Max and Alec really deserve more then they get. They are a lot better then some Ordinaries as we are called. They have more compassion for others them we have for each other. They are why I as Eyes Only try so hard to get people to see them for what they are. People. That's the truth and the more that believe it the more of a lie it seems to become to others.
