This is set after the movie, during one of Logan's deployments.
Green Eyed Monster
Logan Echolls was jealous of Dick Casablancas. Never in a million years had Logan envisioned himself saying such a thing.
Dick and Logan had been through it all; Lily's death, Richard Senior's multiple disappearances, Duncan's epileptic fits, Logan's arraignments, Cassidy's suicide – Veronica. After decades together, Dick wasn't just Logan's best friend, he was his brother … his immature yet equally as loveable brother.
But staring at Dick on a pixelated screen, the petite blonde sat next to him; Logan had found himself burning with an envy that he had never directed at Dick before. The green eyed monster came to visit him out at sea often. It was the time periods when he was really busy that Logan's thoughts drifted to Veronica and Dick. He wondered what they'd be doing: if they'd be laughing together, laughing at each other, arguing … were they happy? Happy without him? Veronica and Dick were living together, after all.
Veronica had been nurturing her wounded father back to health and now had finally decided that she was too old and oh-too-independent to be living under his roof. Keith was healthy and Veronica, Veronica wasn't getting any younger. And so, like it was second nature to her, she had hauled her stuff into Logan and Dick's beach house. Granted, Logan wasn't around much but, Veronica found a sense of comfort being around his things; one of those things being Dick.
Veronica saw similarities between her friendship with Wallace and Dick and Logan's. She had seen, first hand, how they depended on one another. Whether it is to steal high school student records or to play Halo, the friends were completely reliant on one another. Every time Logan was deployed, Dick spent the first few days drunk or high; sometimes both. He never verbalised how much he missed his best friend but he didn't have to. Veronica felt the same way Dick did – she missed him, a lot.
And, this time was just like the others.
Logan found himself watching wistfully at the bickering between Veronica and Dick. Currently, Dick was poking at Veronica's side, teasing her about Skype sex whilst Logan just … watched. He had spent many a night wanting to touch Veronica, hear her laugh … make her smile. And, here was his best friend, doing exactly that. It was stupid for Logan to be jealous of Dick and Veronica's relationship; they disliked each other for the most part but … Logan missed them.
He missed her.
