It took six months. Six months of renovations, painting, remodeling, and ordering. Finally Logan walked into the completely refinished building, an impressed smile on his lips as he shook hands with the lead contractor. "This looks amazing," he told the exhausted looking man.
"I'm glad you think so sir," the man beamed proudly and Logan moved to inspect every detail. "We checked off everything on your list, down to the basic bathroom fixtures." Logan smirked at that, remembering Bob's horror over what had been done to his burger place's restroom.
"This is absolutely perfect," Logan said honestly. "Thank you."
"Anytime."

Louise knew something was up. She wasn't stupid, and Logan had been acting funny the past few days. Tonight when the restaurant closed she was going to confront him. She didn't think it was anything ridiculous like cheating, their past six months together had been nothing short of incredible. Time spent out on the town, at her parent's, or in his apartment... wherever they were they were happy. So cheating was out of the list of options to explain his behavior, but that left quite a few possibilities. Work? His real estate around town? Money? She snorted at the mere thought of that. She didn't know the exact amount in his bank account, but she knew he could spend whatever he wanted whenever he wanted to without having to think about it.
"Good evening beautiful," Logan said as he walked in, a smile on his lips.
"I'm onto you," she pointed at him from her place behind the counter and he raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not up to anything for you to be on to," he responded with a grin, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "I uh," he let out a single chuckle, "promise we'll do something later tonight but I'm actually here for your dad right now."
"Oh I see," Louise said with a hand on her hip. "You're really after my dad aren't you?"
"Oh yeah," Logan said with a grave nod. "I've been in it for the long con. Ever since you were eleven my end game has always been your dad," he grinned at the end and Louise rolled her eyes with a small smile of her own she hid by turning to the order window.
"I heard all that," Bob's words made Logan chuckle. "Not sure I want to go with you."
"Aw c'mon, I've been working up to this point for years Mr. B!" he shouted and Louise turned to him.
"I want Bob home by nine o'clock mister," she said, putting on her best Linda impression. Logan raised an eyebrow and grinned.
"That's barely enough time for dinner! How can you expect me to win him over so fast?" He leaned on the counter and Louise mirrored him, studying his eyes dancing with excitement.
"What are you really up to?" she asked softly and he leaned forward. She met his lips halfway and pulled back quickly. "You're going to tell me."
"Nope," he winked and stole another quick kiss. "Come on Mr. B.! I've got something awesome to show you."
"Louise," Bob came out from the kitchen apron free and a suspicious scowl on his lips, "can you handle closing up?"
"Yeah," she said with an irritated sigh. Being left out of the loop wasn't something she enjoyed.

"So where are you really taking me?" Bob asked from the passenger seat and Logan's grip tightened on the wheel out of nerves.
"Just over to a building of mine," he told Bob carefully. "Right over here," he pulled into the empty parking lot of the newly remodeled restaurant and turned off the car. "Let's go inside."
"Okay..." Bob climbed out of the car and Logan followed suit, pulling the keys to the building out of his pocket. "Look Logan, I've had shady meetings in the past with Fishoeder and-"
"Just come inside," Logan chuckled as he unlocked the front door. He held it open for Bob and flicked on the lights.
"Oh my god," Bob froze at the door, his eyes wide in shock. "This-"
"You like?" Logan turned to face him, walking backwards carefully between the tables.
"You turned this pile of junk building into a restaurant? I'm-I'm impressed," Bob stuttered out and Logan's heart sped up.
"You like it?"
"This would be a perfect bistro Logan," Bob said, a dreamy look in his eyes as he stepped farther inside.
"It's yours," Logan said firmly, his heart pounding in his chest.
"What?" Bob froze and stared at him.
"It's yours. Open up the bistro of your dreams."
"Logan I have my-"
"Give the burger place to Louise," Logan explained quickly and Bob's brow furrowed in confusion.
"What are you up to?"
"I want Louise to have her own place, for her to feel like she doesn't need me-"
"You want to ask her to marry you," Bob said with a certainty that made Logan swallow hard. "Is this to bribe me into giving you my permission?"
"This is me trying to make Louise happy," Logan answered honestly. "She wants to run the restaurant, and I want her to have that. I want her happy Mr. B., more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. I could just take care of everything for her for the rest of her life, she'd never have to work again, but she'd hate me for it. This way she's independent of me, she's got her own thing-"
"What ring have you picked out? You know she's going to hate anything fancy."
"It's a thin white gold band, no diamond, with an inscription on the inside."
"She'll like that," Bob nodded thoughtfully and Logan grinned.
"So... You like the place?" he asked with a hopeful tone.
"It's definitely got potential," Bob answered vaguely and Logan tried to not smile too big at that. "You'll take care of her right? Even if it makes her mad?"
"Oh yeah," Logan said with a chuckle and Bob nodded.
"Alright, yes to both the bistro and you asking her to marry you."
"Really?" Logan felt a wave of relief wash over him.
"When are you going to ask her?"
"I uh, don't know honestly," Logan admitted and looked at his shoes. "She's not the typical ask-during-dinner type."
"You'll know when, you're smart enough to figure that out."

Louise couldn't help the soft moan that left her lips as Logan rubbed her feet. They were laying on her bed at her parent's place, the apartment silent outside of her room. "So why did you steal my dad tonight?" she asked casually.
"I wanted to show him the restaurant I just renovated," he responded casually as he pressed his thumbs into the pads of her feet harder. She whined in happiness, almost missing his next words. "...he said yes."
"To what?"
"Opening the bistro-"
"Logan," Louise pulled her feet away and sat up, "my dad can't run two places!"
"I know," he nodded once, "that's why he's going to give you the burger place."
"What?" Louise gasped the word in shock.
"Yeah," Logan grinned gently and leaned towards her. He kissed her cheek gently and she smiled.
"You gave my dad his life dream so I could run the restaurant?" she asked and he chuckled.
"I want you to be happy Bunnygirl, and the restaurant makes you happy."
"Yeah but-" she sighed and narrowed her eyes. "How much did you pay to renovate that place?"
"It wasn't bad." He was lying, which meant it cost a lot.
"Liar," she said and he winked.
"Cost is a matter of perspective," he countered and she rolled her eyes.
"So why? I get you want me to run the place but-"
"I love you," he said quickly and Louise narrowed her eyes.
"I love you too," she said warily. "Logan what's wrong with you?"
"I'm nervous," he admitted with a wince and she laughed disbelievingly.
"Nervous about what you weirdo?" She watched Logan sit up on his knees and dig in his pocket. "Lo-" the words died on her tongue as he pulled out a small, velvety black box.
"This isn't how I thought this would go," he chuckled as he looked her in the eye, "but you're too smart for me and I can't keep you in the dark."
"Oh god," she slapped a hand over her mouth. He cracked the lid and she stared down at the white gold band, free of any diamonds or jewels.
"Louise, my Bunnygirl," he started as he pulled the ring from the box and held it out between them, "will you marry me?" She stared down at the ring, only something that someone who knew her so well would get her, and she found her voice gone. "Bunnygirl?" Logan's voice wavered and she nodded.
"Yes!" she practically shouted and he grinned as he gripped her left hand and slid the ring on her finger. Louise stared at the band for a long silent moment, tears of happiness clogging her throat.
"Have I made my Bunnygirl speechless?" Logan teased and she looked up to see his eyes shining with his own happy tears. That did it, the notion that this moment meant so much to him. She gripped the front of his shirt and pulled his lips to hers.

Bob padded down the hallway, intent to get to the kitchen and his precious coffee machine. He paused outside the door to Louise's room, half tempted to peek inside. A careful hand reached for the knob and turned it gently. One day this would backfire. He knew one time he'd open up this door and see something he definitely didn't want to.
Steeling himself, he peered inside. Logan and Louise were a tangled up mass on her bed. Louise was laying practically on top of Logan, her face buried in his bare chest. Bob almost left, until he noticed something catch the dim light of the hallway. The shiny band made an impressed smile come to his lips before he shook his head and left the room.

Louise felt the new weight on her finger the second she woke up. Logan hadn't moved from his spot halfway beneath her, but she knew without looking up that he was awake. "Fiancé sounds kinda weird to me," she admitted softly and felt his arm around her tighten.
"Never thought you'd be one?" he asked.
"Not so much that... more like it's just a new title I'm going to have to get used to."
"Well," he set his phone on the bed beside him and used his now free hand to cup her face, "don't get too used to it because I intend to change that as soon as possible."
"I don't want a big fancy wedding," she said with a scowl and felt Logan's body shake with a silent chuckle.
"I'd ask if you got body snatched if you did."
"Not a lot of people either."
"How about just your family, Scotty, and Jacob?"
"That'll work... No flowers."
"Of course not."
"No weirdo kid throwing them either."
"Not at all."
"None of that rice crap either."
"Obviously."
"And I don't want to wear a dress."
"Bunnygirl we can get married wherever, whenever, and wearing whatever," he said as he pecked her lips gently. "As long as I'm marrying you I could care less."
"You're so cheesy," she sneered the words with a smile and Logan rolled his eyes.
"You made me this way y'know."
"I guess I can learn to live with it."

It was a little nerve wracking, moving Louise's things to Logan's apartment. It didn't take much, only two hauls in his car, but when they made it upstairs with the last two boxes everything felt more official. Logan helped Louise unpack, a grin on his lips as she put her clothes in the walk in closet.
"You excited to be out?" he asked casually as he pulled yet another Kuchi Kopi from the box he was sitting on the bed with.
"It's a little weird," she admitted after a moment. "I've lived there my whole life... but yeah, it's nice to be moved out." Logan nodded to himself as he tossed the Kuchi Kopi on the bed, the one he won for her all those years ago on Valentine's Day sitting beside him.
"Are you nervous about next month?" he asked carefully and heard her snort.
"Why would I be nervous? It's just signing our names to a piece of paper in front of our closest people," she came out of the closet, hands on her hips. "Are you nervous?"
"Not at all," he told her with an easy grin. "I love that it's going to be simple, nothing grand and fancy, and that at the end of the day you'll be Louise Bush."
"Who says I'm taking your last name?" she asked as she walked over to him and he grinned.
"You don't have to," he amended as he took her hands, bringing them to his lips and planting a soft kiss on them. "Either way your necklace and ring speak the truth."
"Oh that reminds me," she pulled her hands from his and reached up to her necklace to undo the clasp. Logan watched her ring slide from the chain and onto her thin finger, the inscription making him smile.
LLB&LBB forever
It was simple, but it meant the world to him.
"You ready to shower?" she asked with a stretch and Logan looked around the room.
"We still have a box to go-"
"I'm tired, let's worry about it tomorrow."
"Alright Bunnygirl," he stood up and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips, his arms wrapping around her.
"No," she pulled her lips back. "I'm sweaty and gross, don't get feisty."
"Alright," he gave her a grin and her eyes narrowed.
"What are you- LOGAN!" he gripped her beanie and took off for the bathroom, laughing the whole way. "Give it back Bush!"
