The kiss was.. passionate, to say the least. But when Julian accidentally murmured an "I love you" against the blonde's lips, they both froze, realizing the damage done.
For a minute or so, there was utter silence. While trying to catch their breath, both couldn't help but just stare at each other, trying to find reason and meaning in each other's eyes.
Although, Julian's brown ones were starting to gather tears again.
Logan, still woefully ignorant, finally sputtered out, "I-I don't get it, what-why did you..?"
Stupid, Logan. How did I ever fall for him?, "For heaven's sake, I'm in love with you, dammit! Get it over with already!" Julian was exasperated. His head fell back on the bed with a thump.
"But- get what over with?"
Julian sat up again so quickly that his head was spinning, but still managing to narrow his eyes at the blond.
" Oh, I don't know, reject me? Slap me? Punch me in the face? Just- hurry up and be done with it!"
"Why would I-?"
"I KISSED YOU, WRIGHT!" He didn't take much concern of the fact that he must've woken half of Stuart up, "I FUCKING TOLD YOU HOW I REALLY FEEL ABOUT YOU! If you haven't figured it out yet, your Majesty, that's the reason I'm always leaving! You know how hard it is, seeing you chase after all those other guys, when I was right under your nose?"
"Leaving? But I thought- you always said that you're-"
"Straight?" He scoffed, "I'm a bit bi apparently, Logan."
"I don't.. understand, Jules. Why didn't you just tell me? The prefect asked softly.
"Oh, really? and why would I?" Julian was impatient, "You've never even looked my way!"
"The fact that I kissed you back kind of meant I have.. at some point." Logan admitted quietly.
Julian forgot all about that and shrugged it off. "It was probably some sick automatic response of yours, out of pity. Or maybe you thought I was Hummel or something." He stood up, ignoring the cold biting into his skin.
"Kurt was nowhere near my mind-where are you going?" Julian was heading for the door. "Come back here, Larson!"
"And what?" he spat. "Just pretend that didn't happen? Nice, try. If you need me, which I doubt you will, I'll be sleeping in my own room." The brunette started to exit the room, but Logan was fast enough to pull him back and block the door.
"Doesn't change the fact that you're my friend, Jules! and I sure as hell don't want to lose you!" he growled.
Half of Stuart must've heard their little shout-fest by now. Julian had slunk down into the wall Logan had pushed him into, breathing heavily. The blond kneeled beside him, finally calming down a bit.
"Uhh.. Julian, Jules, please. Im- Im sorry."
Julian didn't say anything.
"Please, don't-don't leave now. I realize how hard this must have been for you, and despite all of the times I've gone practically mental on you, all the shit I put you through, you still came back. You.. you mean a lot to me, Jules."
Julian still didn't say anything.
"I know it isn't much, but I think you should know that- that I do love you. You're my best friend, and I realize now that you've always been there for me. T-this might make things awkward between us but-" Julian's head snapped up.
"-but we can.. make this work. If you just give me another chance. That's all I'm asking."
"What-" Julian's throat was sore, and his voice ended up cracking, "What do you mean.. make this work?"
"I-I mean, you know, how I said I'll be really trying to let go of Kurt?" The actor nodded slowly, "This is me trying to start over. And maybe.. maybe we have a shot." He offered him a sheepish grin, "That is, if you forgive me being an asshole all the time and give me another chance?"
Julian was awfully quiet. But, eventually, he declared, "I forgive you." He gave Logan a small smile and stood up.
The blond sighed in relief, "Thank you, Jules." And gave Julian a rare, genuine smile. "Now…" he took the actor's hand and led him to the bed. "Where were we?" He raised his eyebrow before falling back on the covers.
"Don't get so cocky, Wright." Julian said as he lay down as well. "You're still one of the biggest assholes I've ever met. And I'm from the film industry! So that's saying something!" he joked.
"Yeah, but I'm your asshole." Logan smirked, snuggling up closer to the actor, placing his arms around him.
"That," Julian was laughing now, "That you are."
Their lips met again, Julian felt safe, and finally happy, in Logan's arms.
He knew, he wouldn't leave for the world.
