A/N: I do not own the characters, they belong to CP Coulter and Glee. I also do not own Beauty and the Beast.
Logan sat in the hospital room, next to Julian's unconscious body. He stared down at Julian's body that appeared to be sleeping peacefully next to him. He held Julian's hand tightly, waiting for Julian to open his eyes.
You - You came back.
Of course I came back. I couldn't let them... Oh, this is all my fault. If only I'd gotten here sooner.
Maybe... it's better - it's better this way.
Don't talk like that. You'll be all right. We're together now. Everything's going to be fine, you'll see.
At-at least... I got to see you... one last time.
Logan dragged himself out of his thoughts. Disney movies were supposed to make you feel happy inside, and right now Beauty and the Beast was making him feel like he just lost the biggest thing in his life. If Julian had known sooner that his stalker was a boy and not a girl, Julian wouldn't be in this situation- hell, if Logan had paid attention more to his best friend instead of running around trying to woo someone else's boyfriend, none of them would be in this situation.
But even as Logan finally had some sense smacked into him, possibly the best thing that has yet to happen to him hasn't happened because Logan was too late and now Julian is lying in a hospital bed unconscious.
"Fuck."
Logan tried to distance himself from these thoughts. He didn't want to think about this being the last time he'd ever see Julian alive (as alive as he is). Not wanting to think anymore about it, Logan softly started to sing to Julian.
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
That's not true. They were best friends. But they were barely anything more than that. They should have had a chance.
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Just a little change? Oh yeah, his best friend – who he thought was straight – said he was in love with him, while they were both about to die. Of course he wasn't prepared.
Logan knew he was the beast. No one could ever look at Julian and see him as a beast. Julian is the most beautiful boy he's ever seen.
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Logan brought his other hand to the hand that was already grasping Julian's hand. Both of his hands gripped Julian's tightly as he sobbed out,
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Bitter sweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
"I was so wrong Jules, I am so sorry. I can change I promise. If you just wake up, I'll be better I swear. Please don't leave me."
And with that, Logan completely broke down. He dropped his eyes from Julian's face and cried into his lap, never letting go of Julian's hand. Suddenly, Logan looked up when he thought he felt Julian's hand move. Logan stared at Julian for a moment, then continued singing,
Certain as the sun
Rising in the East
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Julian slowly opened his eyes and turned his head, sending Logan the best smile he could muster.
"Hi." Julian whispered softly to Logan.
"Hi." Logan shifted to move his hands wipe the tears from his eyes, but Julian clenched his hand around Logan's, keeping Logan's hand there.
"It's nice to see you again."
"It's nice to see you alive again."
They sat there for a moment, in a comfortable silence. Julian coughed lightly, then pulled Logan's hand slightly, trying to hint for Logan to come closer. Logan got up from the chair he was in and climbed into the hospital bed and laid down next to Julian.
"I was wrong." Logan said. "I can change – "
"I know Lo." Julian replied. "I heard you singing."
Logan blushed "oh you heard that?"
"It's Beauty and the Beast. Belle is my favorite Disney princess. Of course I heard it."
"I'm sorry I've been such a beast to you."
"It's ok. You're here now."
"You're my princess, of course I'm here now."
Julian nudged Logan's shoulder coupled with a snarky "oh gee thanks."
Logan laughed. "What? I'm just trying to keep with the Beauty and the Beast analogy."
"Uh huh."
"No but seriously…" Logan wiggled down so he was lying face to face with Julian. He pulled his hand out of Julian's grasp and placed it on Julian's cheek before leaning close so both their foreheads were touching.
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
Then Logan closed the space between them and softly kissed Julian on the lips.
"You still look like a beast. I thought the kiss was supposed to break the spell."
"Shut up." Logan growled and leaned over again to kiss Julian again, fingers entwined with Julian's, and in the back of his mind, Logan made sure to remind himself to never ever let go again.
