Logan's head had stopped pounding less then a day after the accident. He'd taken a hard hit, but he was alright, and other then a small cut and a bruise that was turning a pleasant shade of purple, Logan wasn't looking much worse the wear. He was sleeping a lot though, more then usual even, but he wasn't sure he could blame the bump for that. No, sometimes Logan just didn't like getting out of bed.

For the last hour or so though, he hadn't really been sleeping, just sort of drifting in and out. One minute he was awake and almost ready to get up, and the next he'd roll onto his side and find that perfectly warm spot on the bed... the one that made it all too easily to let his eyes drift shut again. Neil was out, probably walking Max, so there was no one nagging him, no one to tell him to stop being lazy and to go eat something. It was nice, and Logan planned on enjoying it just a little longer.

He'd found that spot again, and he was just about to settle back in for at least another ten minutes of lazing about... when someone said his name.

No, not just someone.

Logan would have recognized that voice anywhere, anytime. He new what it sounded like on film and on the phone, and he knew what it sounded like when the older man was there. Logan knew Aaron Echoll's voice better then anyone else's.

Eyes snapping open, Logan sat up almost instantly, his body tense as he listened. Maybe he'd imagined it... maybe it had been a dream,

But no, there it was again.

"Logan?"

Getting to his feet, Logan slowly walked to the door, peering around it with a worried look. His chest was tight and he was pretty sure he was sweating, but he made sure not to let anything show on his face as he headed outside and looked around. Making his way around to the back of the hut, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. "Dad?" he said quietly, unsure and uneasy.

And there he was, Aaron Echolls, not a foot away. He had that look on his face, angry and pinched so tight the the lines in his face seemed deeper then usual. He took a step closer and Logan instantly took a step back, right onto someone's foot.

At the moment, that was probably true, but Joe just splashed Logan again, looking amused. "You're a fucker," he said with a smirk.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Always," Logan laughed, splashing Joe back and swimming closer again. "You feel a little better though?"

Logan himself was, what with the lack of Aaron Echolls haunting him and giving him shit... or whatever had been going on.

"Yeah, I do," Joe said, rubbing his hands over his head, droplets of water spraying off the stubble. "Must be the water here. Like they say."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan laughed a bit and nodded. "Yeah, must be the water," he agreed, grinning.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"That's what they keep saying around these parts," Joe pointed out, looking amused as he ducked under the water again.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"So I've heard," Logan snorted, rolling his eyes.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"I don't really believe that shit," Joe said when he surfaced again. "That whatever the fuck this is is in the water. Maybe people are just more comfortable here."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I dunno, I never really thought about it," Logan shrugged. Though that was a lie, he'd talked to Veronica about it not long after arriving. The difference in people and the new found freedom of being somewhere besides Neptune.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

Joe hadn't given it much thought until Dale and Mamet, but that was probably just because it bugged the hell out of him, not for any real reason beyond that. "Doesn't matter much here anyway."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess not... I mean, except when it does," Logan snorted. "It freaked Dick out, the fact that I was with a guy And Duncan is... He kissed me, the other day, shoved me against a tree and just... You think there's something in the water that makes people do that?" he asked with a laugh. "Seems to happen a lot, at least with me."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"I think a lot of it is just the freedom here," Joe said honestly, giving a little shrug. "Or maybe it's the stress of being in this place and not home. I don't know, man."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, maybe, I dunno," Logan shrugged, splashing Joe a little again.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You don't know, so you splash me?" Joe asked with a smirk, looking amused. "Like it's my fault?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"You know, we used to have fun," Logan said seriously. Me and you? It wasn't all serious talks and feelings. We used to do stuff. Even when I was, like, ten, we had fun. When did we stop? You know, like... when did it get do hard for me to just do this?" he asked... right before he lunged at Joe and tried to knock him back under the water.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Fuck," Joe said in surprise, almost being knocked over before he regained his footing and shoved Logan a little, laughing. "Yeah? Is that what we used to do? How about shit like this?" And then he tried to grab Logan around the neck to dunk him in the water.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan tried to wrestle his way away from Joe and laughed. "Yeah, maybe, I forget... it was so long ago, you know? Fucking eons or whatever," he said obnoxiously, hooking his leg around one of Joe's in an attempt to knock him off balance.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

Laughing, Joe almost fell, dipped under the water a bit and then regained his footing, his arm still around Logan's shoulders, trying to tug him back. "Eons, man? Big word for you there."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I'm actually really good with four letter words," Logan snorted. "Want me to list a few I really like?" he offered, ducking his head and biting Joe's arm just hard enough to sting.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I do," Joe said with a grunt, then tried to push Logan under the water again, making a little face as he tried not to laugh.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan opened his mouth to start... only to end up with a mouthful of water as Joe managed to succeed in dunking him under. He flailed a little and wiggled away, popping back up and laughing as he coughed. "Well, I guess I'd start with the word cunt," he told Joe.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"That's a good one," Joe agreed with a smirk, trying to shove Logan under again. "Gotta say, it's one of my personal favourites."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Draping an arm roughly around Joe's shoulder's, Logan tried to take Joe down with him. "How about shit, or fuck or..."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"All good words," Joe agreed with a nod and a laugh, stumbling a little on the floor of the lake and sliding under the water a bit.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"You got any?" Logan asked trying to shove Joe all the way under with a laugh.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You used up all the good ones," Joe said before he slipped into the water and then pushed back up, spitting a stream in Logan's direction.
