Vampire AU Prequel

[echolls_cursed]

Logan didn't do bars, not often any way. Too many people, too much going on... too many girls sniffing for money rather than love. Usually he hated it, but tonight...

Tonight he just needed to get out, to have a few drinks and enjoy the city of LA for what it was. Mindless, soulless, and empty. Really, the more he dwelled on it the more Logan was sure those were exactly the sort of qualities he'd been looking for in home, and he grinned as he polished off his drink and left enough cash on the bar for tip and his tab.

Ignoring the many writhing and twisting bodies on the dance floor, Logan made his way to the exit, ready to head home for the night. Passing the pool table, he pushed open the door and stepped into the night. The streets were busy, but he didn't mind, he'd cut through the alleyway and take a shortcut home.

The lamp light flickered as he stepped into the darkened ally, blinking out just as he headed into the shadows. It was alright though, he wasn't scared, he wasn't some sweet sixteen princess with her virtue to worry about... Logan was tough. He was eighteen now, and he had no fear.

"I can't eat him," Logan said, slowly turning around and leaning against the table. "I know him. It would be weird."

"You're never gonna each anyone you know?" Joe asked, leaning in when Logan leaned back against the table. "Sometimes they're the best," he said simply, lips brushing Logan's shoulder.

"I couldn't... kill someone I knew," Logan said awkwardly, feeling something human stir up inside him. "...Have you?"

Joe nodded, nipping gently at Logan's shoulder. "Yeah. Made him just like me." And it was at times like this when he missed Billy to the point of physical pain.

Logan shivered a little, tilting his head curiously. "So when are you going to take me to meet your friends?" he asked, trailing a hand down Joe's side.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You wanna meet that one? 'Cause he's in Vancouver and it's a bit of a trip," Joe pointed out. There were people in LA, of course, but no one he'd really call a friend.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Just... anyone," Logan said lazily.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Joe said with a small shrug. "Once it gets dark, we'll go somewhere." And he'd introduce Logan to some people if that was what he wanted.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan just grinned, obviously pleased to hear it. "So, what do we do until then?"

Joe glanced toward the window and although the blinds were shut, he could tell that the sun was low. "Play cards?" he asked dryly, smirking a little.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Old maid or go fish?" Logan asked with a snicker.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Crazy eights?" Joe asked in response, nipping at Logan's throat again. "Not many card games can be used as innuendo, can they?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan laughed. "No, guess not," he grinned, running his hands down Joe's sides again before pulling him in for a long kiss.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

Joe returned the kiss more than happily, humming quietly against Logan's mouth as his hand curled around the back of his neck to hold him closer.

Hands coming to rest On Joe's shoulders, Logan made a content sound as he nipped at the other man's lips. He felt good when Joe kissed him. Warm. Wanted. Needed. It made his whole body buzz.

Joe grinned and nuzzled Logan's lips with his own, his own hands sliding up over Logan's body. "You really taste fucking great, man," he murmured again.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Like candycanes and truffles?" Logan quipped playfully.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Not sure about the candycanes, but I definitely caught a hint of truffles," Joe replied with a snort of laughter, nipping at Logan's lower lip.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yum," Logan replied simply, holding Joe's hips and dragging him closer. "I should get dressed," he murmured. "Shower too."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sounds like a good idea," Joe answered, but he wasn't moving away. Instead, he was moving closer, his hips pushing against Logan's.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"You could come," Logan suggested. "Wash my back... help me pick out something to wear," he grinned, nipping at Joe's earlobe.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You need help getting dressed now?" Joe asked with a grin. "I guess if you need that much help, I can lend a hand or two."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah, I get both hands, huh?" Logan asked, grinning again and then slipping away.

"Come on, maybe I'll wash your back too."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Lucky me," Joe replied with a laugh, then followed Logan toward the bathroom, more or less strutting after him. And he might've taken the opportunity to look at his ass as he walked away.

The tiles on the bathroom floor were cool under Logan's feet, and he headed straight for the shower, turning the water on and reaching one hand out to test it as he fiddled with the knobs.
