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."

"Yeah, maybe," Logan agreed, though he didn't sound sure.

"You can't know, man. I mean, you can have a feeling, but you never know for sure," Joe said. "I thought I'd be dead by thirty and it took me another few years to get there. And even then I went fucking here."

"We don;t have to talk about it if it makes you uneasy, Joe," Logan said quietly.

"Nah, man, it's fine. I'm just... talking, I guess," he said, shrugging a little bit. "Just... don't wanna think about you going anywhere."

"Got a few years left in me yet," Logan said with a small smile.

"Long as we got that," Joe agreed, grinning in return. "Maybe in that time shit will change." He wasn't sure why he kept insisting that.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, maybe," Logan agreed, mostly to make Joe feel better. He wasn't sure something he'd been feeling forever would just fade away.

"Never know," Joe said, his eyes closing again as he stretched out. "I wouldn't mind being stuck here until I was too fucking old to walk."

"Yeah? You planning on getting old with Dale?" Logan asked curiously, turning his attention back to the fire.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Better than the alternative, yeah?" Joe asked, still relaxed against his sleeping bag. And it was a hell of a lot better than growing old and fucking creaky on his own.

"As long as that's not the only reason you want it," Logan agreed.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

Joe shook his head, because it sure as hell wasn't the only reason. "Nah, man. It's good. A good thought, I mean."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Good," Logan said simply, smiling just slightly as he turned his head to look at Joe again.

"I'm fucking hungry," Joe decided after a moment, because that sandwich hadn't really cut it. And maybe it was the mountain air, because it had been a long time since he'd been truly and genuinely hungry.

"Don't look at me, I'm sure I don't taste that great," Logan snorted softly. "But, uh, there's fruit and stuff in my bag."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I got some, too." But he was really fucking lazy and he grunted, trying to hook his bag with his foot.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Lazy bastard," Logan snorted sitting up and grabbing the bag. He tossed it lightly at Joe and lay back down, yawning a little and stretching.

"Yeah, you got that right," Joe agreed with a smirk, letting out a soft noise when the bag hit his stomach. But he opened it anyway and grabbed some fruit, offering some kind of berry thing to Logan.

Logan shook his head a little and rolled onto his side again. He wasn't really hungry.

"You want the bread back?" Joe asked with a little grin, noticing the way Logan was lying now. "I got more."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" Logan asked, looking confused.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You were cuddling the fucking bread earlier when you were lying like that," Joe reminded him. "I was just wondering if you wanted it back."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Fuck off," Logan laughed. "I was just holding it."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Cuddling," Joe insisted. "I know what a fucking cuddle looks like, man, and you and that bread were pretty intimate."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Damn intimate," Logan agreed. "That's why your sandwich tasted so good."
