A/N: Veronica Mars is probably not only one of my favorite TV shows, but also one of my favorite categories on fanfiction. I've always been especially interested in the idea of the characters in the show who never really get to see the good sides of Logan (at least within the 3 seasons of episodes) somehow getting to see him in the way that all of us who love LoVe do. It's also always bothered me that Veronica never really seemed to stick up for Logan. I've never posted on FF before even though I've been a member since 2008, I figured it was past time. Usually the things I write come to me in scenes like the two below, then I craft a story around them. Mostly just posting this to see if there's any interest in a story that would go in this direction. Thanks for reading, let me know what you think!

Keith gritted his teeth a bit as he arrived home only to see Logan's car sitting out front. He knew that he couldn't get away with telling veronica not to date the kid but it didn't mean he had to like it. He especially didn't have to like the fact that the two of them were alone together in his home. He sighed, psyching himself up to deal with the situation after a long day at the office. However as he got closer to the front door he realized he had a front row show to whatever was going on and decided to put his pi skills to use.

"Hey," Logan said in a soft tone Keith had never heard before, "what are you thinking about now?" He followed his words by softly brushing a piece of hair out of veronicas face.

"Nothing," veronica answered in what Keith recognized as her avoidance tone. Good luck getting anything out of her Keith thought.

"Hmmm…I happen to have it on good authority that is not your 'nothing' face," Logan said casually.

Expecting veronica to bristle he was surprised when she jokingly responded "And who is this authority figure that you deem 'good'? I thought that was an oxymoron?"

He let out a short bark of laughter and said "Yes, well, what can I say? Good looking, charming, and completely in love with a certain petite blond who smells of promises…I happen to consider him an expert on the subject."

Keith raised his eyebrows at the candid declaration. And noticed how Logan's eyes tightened just a bit when she didn't say anything for a minute but instead responded by putting her head on his shoulder.

It was silent for a moment and Keith was just about to walk in when veronica broke the silence, shocking him.

She turned and saw Wallace staring at her. Her stomach dropped just slightly and she was just suddenly so tired.

"So you and Logan again huh?" he asked, sounding angry. And suddenly she snapped.

"Yeah, me and Logan again. Look I'm sorry ok? I'm sorry that you don't understand our relationship and I'm sorry that it's so hard to be friends with me. But honestly I'm sick of everyone's judgments about things they don't understand! You say you're my friend but lately all I feel is judgment and disapproval and disappointment from you. That's not what friends are supposed to do. I've never hidden who I am from you, I'm the same as I've always been and if you don't like it maybe we were never really friends anyways. There's a lot about me and Logan that you don't understand. Part of that is probably my fault but it's not like you'd want to hear it if I told you anyways."

"The guy is an ass, I can't believe-"

"I'm in love with him! Ok? I love him and I'm sick of everyone trying to tell me I shouldn't and trying to make him feel like he's not good enough. He has enough problems in that area as it is and I hate seeing the look in his eyes when someone says something terrible about him that he thinks is true!"

Movement out of the corner of her eye made her head whip around and settle on her father. Wonderful. She was surrounded by people who only saw the worst in Logan. She sighed.

"I don't know why I'm bothering. You're just going to believe what you want anyway." She sighed again before snatching her bag and walking past the two men in her apartment and out the door.
