Author's Notes: So, first off, let me say that I'm super proud of this two-shot. Like...SUPER proud. I don't really know why. I sat down at the computer one day and it just happened. I really really really like it. If you're confused after this part, don't worry part 2 will be up after I fix a few things. And if you're still confused well, watch 500 Days of Summer AFTER you've read (and REVIEWED): If you're still confused even after that, well, then, I'm sorry *shrugs*. Hopefully you don't need a movie/short video for things to be explained that well. If you favorite this or alert this can you PLEASE review, too? It kinda sucks when you're proud of something you write and then there's hardly any reviews, especially when there's all these fics out there that are kind horrible yet have hundreds of reviews. I don't get it...? OH well. So please...take the time to review.

To my betas Morior Invictus and getcokeagain: Out of all the betas I've ever had for anything I've ever written these two are the best betas EVER! No lie. Morior Invictus is blunt and to the point about things but she's pretty awesome about it. She still loves me! :) And getcokeagain seriously has the BEST comments ever. And he's a grammar/spelling Nazi type of person which makes me happy. Otherwise this fic would have plenty of mistakes in it lol. Both of you rock and thanks for beta-ing this and listening to me ramble on and on about my other stories that have been sent to y'all! :)

Warnings: 2nd Person POV. If you don't like that I'm sorry. You don't have to read it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. No money is being made off of this, I don't own BTR or anyone associated with them or Nick.

Expectations

Your expectations are never quite in line with reality. You expect this to go well, for everything to suddenly click into place and he will be yours.

When you ran into Logan on the train to downtown you never thought that he would smile brightly and greet you with an enthusiastic hug. After the way things ended, you're honestly surprised. But he did and you smiled back and squeezed him tightly.

You sat and you talked to him for what felt like hours. Now you're on your way to his apartment where he's having a small party. Kendall and Carlos will be there, and that makes you giddy because you haven't seen them in a couple of months.

The trek upstairs seems like forever. You're nervous for reasons you can't seem to figure out, but you push all that aside because you're at Logan's apartment and you're seemingly on good terms with him again after so long. Finally the door to apartment 14B is in front of you. Now all you have to do is press the doorbell.

You don't get the chance before the door is being flung open by Carlos. He gives you a bright smile and invites you in, already chattering excitedly about how long it's been. You can't help but laugh: Carlos has and always will be the most energetic of the group. You follow him through a small foyer that opens into a spacious living room and attached kitchen.

Kendall is mixing drinks at a bar tucked into the corner of the room and he waves when he sees you. You wave back and decide you'll catch up with him later. You have someone to find. That in mind you clutch the wine bottle in your hand a little tighter and push through the small crowd of people milling about in front of the patio doors. You make your way through the door and outside to the fresh air where there are more people standing around chatting.

There are several friendly faces that you haven't seen since your days at the Palm Woods. Jo is standing by the food, one hand waving around in the air, the other on her pregnant belly. She is talking to Camille and they are both laughing about something. Then you see Guitar Dude sitting with the Jennifers, all four of them tapping out some kind of beat and singing silly songs.

A lot of people from your past are here, some you thought you would never see again. Some of them don't seem to recognize you but you smile at them anyway as you pass on your search. Someone stops you, though. You're ready to protest until you find yourself looking into the pretty eyes of Katie Knight herself. She's the last person you expected see here. She's just as beautiful as ever and she's already hugging you tightly.

You get caught up in talking to her. She tells you about her new Talent Agency and about all the things you've missed out on the past three years. You tell her you're sorry and that you tried to keep in touch as often as possible. Luckily she believes you and lets it slide with an eye roll and that famous mischievous smirk.

As you're talking to her a familiar laugh catches your attention. You instantly perk up at the sound. Katie shoos you off, so you give her a kiss on the cheek and get back to your search. It doesn't take long before you find him.

He's leaning against the edge, laughing with someone. Your breath catches in your throat at how much he stills resembles your Logan. The snug jeans, the button up with the sleeves rolled to the elbow, and the spiked up hair all bring back memories that you would rather keep buried. But things changed.

He sees you staring. Your heart begins to race and your breathing picks up, your palms start to sweat. You almost drop the bottle of wine but manage to get a good grip and make your way towards him. The girl he was talking to disappears. It's just you and him—you and Logan, once again. That's how it should always be.

You hold the wine bottle out. Logan takes it and sets it on the edge of the patio railing. "You didn't have to bring anything," he says quietly. His eyes are twinkling with something you can't quite place. You wave a dismissive hand, but there's still a soft smile on your face.

So far your expectations are everything you wanted.

As the night goes on, you find yourself never wanting to leave. You sat here with Logan and you talked over some wine and music in the background. It feels great to have your friend—no, best friend—back. Hours literally went by and soon enough everyone began to leave. You hardly noticed: you were too focused on Logan.

When Kendall, with Jo trailing behind, and Carlos come up to say goodbye you realize just how much time has passed. A quick glance at your watch shows you it's almost eleven. Logan stands to give Carlos and Kendall a goodbye handshake and Jo a gentle hug. You tell them goodbye as well.

You hesitate before standing and deciding you should probably leave, too. Everyone else has cleared out so it's just you and Logan. You go inside, Logan right behind you, and start to head for the front door to leave when you feel a hand close around your forearm.

"Are you leaving?" Logan asks, his voice laced with a bit of hurt. Your heart drops a little at the sound. The last time you heard that was when you left him three years ago.

"I won't if you don't want me to," you find yourself saying. You would do anything to get Logan back in your life permanently. You would do anything to make him happy, to never see him sad again. As long as he wants you around, you will be around.

"I want you to stay," he whispers. Then, before you can really comprehend it, Logan's hands are on your chest, right over your heart, and he's rising on his toes to press his lips against yours.

You immediately fall into the familiar pattern. A long time ago this was something you did daily, when Logan actually wanted you and wanted you to kiss him, to touch him, to make him feel loved. Then you went and ruined it all. But that is the past and this is the present; these are your expectations coming to life in the form of happy sighs and soft hands on your chest.

Your hands still fit perfectly on his hips as you guide him away from the doorway and to the hallway behind him. He points in the direction of the bedroom, not once removing his lips from yours. So you follow the path he gave you and lead him backwards into the room. Oxygen is becoming necessary. You take that opportunity to yank your shirt over your head and toss it aside.

Logan looks up at you with lust-filled eyes and kiss-swollen lips, and for a moment all you can do is stare. This is really happening. You tilt your head and capture those lips with yours again. He sighs into the kiss. Everything feels right, exactly how it should be.

You're happy.

Your expectations have gotten the better of you.

So review? And part 2 will be put up pretty soon! :)
