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.

"The fucking is different," Joe insisted with a grin, watching as Logan pulled on the shirt. "But, yeah, I like it. Wear that one."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Rolling his eyes and laughing, Logan buttoned up the shirt and grabbed a pair of pants next, skipping boxers this time. It probably wouldn't be worth the effort of pulling them on if they kept going like they had been.

Joe nodded his approval, then returned to his own clothes, grabbing them off the floor, then began to dry himself off. "That works for you. Looks good."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I always look good," Logan smirked.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, we covered that already, remember?" Joe asked with a smirk, pulling his own jeans up and on. "We both look good."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Look better together. Naked. On the bed..." Logan grinned.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Can't be together, naked and on the bed if we're going out," Joe pointed out with a grin, tugging his shirt over his head and doing up his jeans.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Damn, guess we'll have to settle for this then," Logan grinned.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You're the one who wanted to go out," Joe reminded Logan with a grin, sitting down on the bed to put his shoes back on.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"What can I say, I'm curious. Besides, the bed will be here later..." Logan grinned.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"The bed will always be here," Joe agreed, lacing his boots and then leaning back on his hands as he glanced over at the window. "Almost dark."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Logan said, slipping his own shoes on and fussing with the collar of his shirt, rumpling it a little. "Almost."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Gotta look like you didn't try too hard?" Joe asked with a smirk as he watched Logan mess with his collar. The wrinklier his clothes were, the more he'd match Joe at this point.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I am a natural beauty, the clothes should match," Logan smirked.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh," Joe replied with an amused snort of laughter, then leaned back on his arms, his boots taken care of. "Looks like you naturally rolled right outta bed."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Fitting, seeing as how I sort of did," Logan smirked.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You showered first," Joe pointed out, although that really wasn't an argument at all. "You ready to go? Need anything else?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Grabbing his wallet, Logan shook his head. "No, I'm ready if you are, man," he smiled.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

Joe stood again, brushing his jeans off, although they weren't dirty to begin with, then nodded at the door. "Let's get outta here."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Grinning, Logan led the way into the hall, heading for the elevator and pushing the down button to call it. "So, this place, what's it like?" he asked.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

Joe shrugged a little, following Logan to the elevator and then standing against the wall. "Private. Not everyone is allowed in. Like any other club, I guess, but not as crowded."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"So, how can you be sure they'll let me in?" Logan asked curiously.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You're with me," Joe answered simply and if he looked a little conceited in that moment, a little arrogant, it was because that was exactly what he was feeling.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan gave Joe a look of that and then grinned. "Lucky me then."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Lucky you," Joe agreed, heading into the elevator when the doors slide open and then turning around to face Logan with a smirk.
