Camping (locked to Joe, backdated to Sept 29th)

[echolls_cursed]

Seeing as how he and Neil had been fighting about damn near everything all week, Logan had been more than a little eager to go camping with Joe by the time Saturday morning rolled around. So eager, in fact, that he'd already been to the compound to find a sleeping bag in the clothes box (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed no less), and had packed his make-shift bag before Joe had even come to find him.

For once Logan was ahead of the game, knocking on Joe's door to see if he was ready.

God, he'd never thought he'd be so eager to stare at trees for nearly forty-something hours.

"Hey, you ready?" he asked, knocking once and then pushing the door open a crack. "I grabbed some food for us to take or whatever... so, uh, I'm ready to go when you are man."

"Eostre's hot," Logan said, letting out a cloud of smoke. "Like... Hot teacher hot. I bet she's intense in bed."

Joe snorted and said, "She's got kids now, you're not supposed to think that anymore." Not that it stopped Joe himself from thinking it all the damn time.

"Just makes her hotter," Logan replied, finishing off the joint and stubbing it out. "I like the mothering thing... I'm sure a shrink would have a field day with that, but it's the truth."

He paused for a moment, and then smirked. "What's Dale like in bed?"

Joe laughed harder at that and looked over at Logan, eyebrows lifted. "What's Dale like in bed..." he repeated, still looking kind of amused by the whole thing.

"He'd fucked around for guys before, y'know, but never actually fucked one," he explained. "But even without the experience, pretty fucking good."

"So, you were his first," Logan said, looking a little impressed.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

Joe nodded, smirking a little, looking pleased with himself. "Yeah, pretty much," he agreed, stretching out, his hands pillowed behind his head.

Logan was quiet for a while after that, content to close his eyes and ride out the high.

The temptation had been there, the joint in Logan's hand, but Joe had managed to ignore it for the most part and a small part of him, something he'd never admit to, was just the slightest bit proud. Something to tell Dale, anyway.

"This reminds me of when me and Duncan used to go camping," Logan said after a moment.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Except I'm better company, right?" Joe asked with a small smirk, shifting his head in his hands so that he could look over at Logan. "Where'd you guys go camping?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Where ever his dad would take us," Logan shrugged. "Sometimes we'd go out to their cabin in Virginia."

"Kinda wish there was some place like that here," Joe admitted. "Some cabin in the middle of the fucking jungle or something, somewhere to just go to, to escape."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"We should do that," Logan said, obviously still stoned. "We should just... build a fucking cabin. In the middle of nowhere. How awesome would that be, man?"

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Pretty fucking awesome," Joe agreed, although he wasn't sure either of them could build a cabin without some help. "Yeah, we should do that, we should find a place and just build."

"We should make Cutter help," Logan said firmly. "Make him see that we can all be okay."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"All be okay, like a big happy family?" Joe asked with a laugh. He doubted Cutter had any interest in being okay with Joe.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I'm gonna ask him to do it," Logan said simply, making it clear that his mind was made up about it.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Okay, man, whatever you want," Joe said, still looking amused. "Bet he won't be interested. Last time I tried to talk to him about it, he actually fucking ran away."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"He ran away?" Logan asked with a laugh. "Are you serious?"

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. He just fucking bolted, man," Joe said with a grin. Of course, he got the feeling that Cutter did that a lot when he didn't want to deal with something. "It was awhile ago. Months."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"That's fucking nuts," Logan laughed, rolling onto his side.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, it's how some people deal, right?" Joe asked, still grinning. "Some people just bolt when they don't wanna deal with shit."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I just... don't get it," Logan replied. "Did you tell him you were mad at him or something?"

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"No, didn't say a damn thing to him," Joe replied, shaking his head. "We were talking and he was acting fucking weird, so I asked him what's up and that was what came out."

"We need to build a cabin together," Logan said again, deciding that was the solution.

His foot creeped over, nudging Joe's calf, and he batted his glassy eyes at the older man. "You should cook us some food. That's what parental type people do. I saw it on Seventh Heaven."
