"Come here." Julian gently grabbed Logan's bleeding hand and pulled him to sit down on the antique sofa in Logan's room. He went and pulled out some bandages from the boy's drawer and went straight to work on his boyfriend's injured hand.
"Stop it, Jules. I'm mad at you." Logan mumbled, looking down, though he made to effort to pull away.
"I know. And I'll get out of your face as soon as I fix up your hand." Julian said softly.
Hearing the tone of his boyfriend's voice only broke Logan's heart. It made him feel ashamed of what he had done. He looked up at Julian's face and saw the deeply cut lip and the newly formed bruise on his right cheek and felt his chest tighten at the sight of the damage he had caused the one he loved.
He felt like Julian should be mad at him right now. He should be shouting at him, insulting him, doing anything that would hurt Logan. Anything but this.
"Jules, I-I..."
"There all done." Julian said quickly as he got up to walk out of his boyfriend's room. He looked back at Logan, hurt clearly visible in his dark eyes and just stared at the mess that was his boyfriend. Logan couldn't bare to look Julian straight in the eye and see the pain he had caused so he settled for his feet. Soon Julian walked out without saying a single word. And Logan just sat there, frozen in his place. He looked around the mess that he had done in his room and sighed. He couldn't even remember what their fight was about. After a while of heated debate between himself, Logan decided he ought to take his meds and try to get some shut eye.
Julian held back a sob, holding onto the sink in his bathroom, the tap was running as he was trying to wash the blood off his face. He was sick of this, he decided. He loved Logan, he truly did but this was just too much for him now. He really didn't want to leave, like he always did when things got tough but maybe, just maybe, he thought, maybe this time he could stay away for good. Who knows maybe it could turn out to be for the best. He sighed as the turn off the tap and decided that he should get some sleep.
Logan and Julian both had restless sleeps that night, both having terrible nightmares about each other. Their subconscious showing them horrific things about each other.
Julian dreamt of Logan; the couple were chatting playfully, enjoying each other's company when Julian's dream began, but somehow one thing led to another and Logan turned into a hideous beast, destroying everything in it's path.
Logan however dreamt of Julian. His Julian. Julian was beautiful in his dream, like an angel. He showed up in front of Logan at a distance, smiling up at him. Logan tried to get closer to the beautiful being that was his boyfriend but each step he took only led him further and further from his beloved. He tried to quicken his pace but that was no use. Soon he broke onto a run until finally he was standing face to face to the beautiful Julian. Logan raised his hand and reached out to caress his boyfriend's face but as soon as he was mere millimetres away from the radiant skin Julian disappeared and Logan woke up gasping for air.
