Be warned - this isn't very exciting. It was just something I wanted to put into words since it's one of my favourite little scenes from season 3. It's set towards the end of episode 3x01 where Logan first encounters Piz.

I'm A Lover

Logan stared wide eyed at his battered looking best friend. Dick looked flustered, tears prevalent in his piercing eyes. Despite everything that had happened with Cassidy, Logan still cared about Dick. After finding out about Aaron, Dick had been his supporter, his shoulder to lean on and Logan was determined to be the exact same. It was why Logan had put a Taser to a random guy in the Hearst cafeteria. Not because he had wanted to, it was because Logan wasn't going to stand by and watch his friend get publically beaten up. But, as he had been all summer, Dick excused Logan's notion of friendship.

"What?" Dick asked resentfully, his eyes boring through Logan's. "Do you want a hug or something?" Dick tried to straighten out his jumper before navigating his way through the crowd that had accumulated to watch the fight. Logan stared back at him, completely dumbfounded.

From where she was sat, Veronica had watched her boyfriend come to the defence of his friend. It was a loyal gesture and deep down, guilt fizzled within Veronica's gut. Veronica knew that the on-going feud between Dick and Logan was because of her. Logan hadn't stopped Cassidy from jumping to his death because of what he had done to Veronica.

"Does that sort of thing work with college girls?" Veronica's guilty train of thought was pulled off of its track by Wallace's roommate and Veronica's latest client, Stosh Piznarski. The brunette with his long hair and blue eyes grinned goofily at Veronica, a sense of courage evident within him. He, unlike everybody else in the cafeteria, had been watching Veronica as the fight had broken out. She was watching the conflict with interest and Piz, Piz was watching her with equally as much vigour.

She intrigued him; Veronica Mars was beautiful, witty, confident … She'd stood in the doorway of his dorm room and captivated him completely. Piz knew a guy like him – shy and dorky – could never befriend or even date a girl like her. It was why it had taken him a few moments to muster up the courage to confront her again. They had gotten along earlier, like butter to heat, and he wanted to see if their friendship could go somewhere … be something more. "Cause I'll tell you up front, I'm a lover, not a fighter."

Veronica turned on her heels to give Piz a bemused look, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.

"I'm gonna try to talk to him." Logan was still glancing in the direction that Dick had disappeared, barely noticing the guy that had stopped to talk to his girlfriend. As he bent down to grab his messenger bag, Logan caught a brief glance at the guy. "Nice shirt." Logan made a quip at the shirt that had once belonged to his ex-best friend and Veronica's ex, Duncan. Dressed in familiar argyle, the uncomfortable looking teen was standing too close to Veronica for Logan's comfort. Logan trained his eyes on the stranger for a few moments, his eyebrows rising in suspicion. As if he needed to mark his territory, Logan lowered his lips to Veronica's. It was a small peck that said a thousand words …

Veronica was Logan's.
