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."

"Banana," Logan said simply, pulling one out and holding it up in show. "Want?"

Joe snorted and then gave a nod, holding his hand out for one. "Why the fuck not? I'm not roasting it, though."

"That's alright. I'm not roasting mine," Logan said as he grabbed one for himself.

"But you seemed so bent on it earlier," Joe pointed out with a smirk, taking the banana and peeling it. "Sure you don't want a stick for it?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I'll... Stick your banana," Logan mumbled, fighting with the peel on his own banana.

"That sounds pretty fucking dirty, man, you better watch it," Joe said, still smirking faintly, tying not to look like he was.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Only dirty if you want to think of it as dirty," Logan argued, holding up his banana in show and then delibretly taking much to much into his mouth before taking a bite.

"M'like 'dat," he said around his mouthful. "'Sonly dir'dy if you 'fink it is."

"Or maybe it's only dirty if you know you," Joe shot back with a snort of laughter, taking a bite of his own banana.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Logan agreed, grinning a little.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Maybe there's no fucking maybe about it," Joe said, smirking as he took another bite.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Logan said again, grinning.

"Eat your fucking banana," Joe ordered with a snort of laughter, finishing his own and tossing his peel into a bag he'd brought.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I am," Logan mumbled, finishing the fruit and tossing the peel onto the fire.

"Fucking goof," Joe muttered affectionately, although it reminded him briefly of Jeroen and he almost frowned.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Fuck you," Logan said, though his tone was equally affectionate.

Moving his bag even closer to Joe's, carefully lining them up so they were side by side, Logan lay back down. "Come'ere, let me show you something."

Joe moved back onto his bag and leaned back on his elbows, glancing over at Logan. "What?" he asked curiously.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Moving over, Logan pushed Joe down and promptly curled up against the older man's side, resting his head on his chest. Not unlike he had last time the island had brought him back to his youth.

"Just like how it was."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Like when you were a kid?" Joe asked, although he thought that was probably what Logan meant. He got comfortable, though, his arm around Logan.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, like that," Logan replied, closing his eyes.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Joe agreed quietly, his eyes closing as well. It was comfortable and he relaxed, feeling content for the first time in weeks.

Logan let himself drift off, content to lay beside Joe... The man he'd picked to be his father, and the one person he truly believed could keep him safe.

By the time his eyes fluttered open, night had fallen, and the fire was burning low.

Joe hadn't fallen asleep right away, but after lying there for half an hour or so, he'd drifted off as well and he didn't wake up until after Logan. Sitting up carefully, he yawned and looked at the fire. "Should fix that," he said.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan blinked at Joe through the dim light and nodded. "I'll go," he offered, getting to his feet and heading for the treeline.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Don't get eaten," Joe said, although he doubted they were in any real danger unless they go too close to the dinosaurs. Which he knew they hadn't.

"I'll do my best," Logan snorted, dissapearing into the thick of trees.
