Laconic

Moment Nine: Out of the Closet

Quinn wouldn't—and couldn't—stop laughing. Lola's first thought was that she had messed up a Quinnvention again. But after Logan's assurance that she had been with him all day, Lola figured Quinn had just seen or heard something funny.

Something really, really funny. And Lola wanted to know what.

"What is so funny, Quinn?" asked Lola exasperatedly. "I wanna know! Do you know?" The question was directed to Zoey, who shook her head from behind her laptop, and to Logan, who was just staring at Quinn, concerned.

"I know as much as you do. So nothing at all."

Deciding to ignore the possible insult, Lola studied her best friend instead. She looked normal, besides the fact that she was laughing nonstop. Frowning, she crossed her arms over her chest. "Quinn, what's so funny?" she asked again, practically whining.

"Mark…" Quinn was able to choke out. Logan immediately tensed up and Lola resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Honestly, she found Logan's jealously of Mark very amusing. She knew he had nothing to worry about. After all, Quinn was so much happy with Logan. So happy, in fact, that she couldn't stop laughing.

"Mark? What about him?" asked Logan, gritting his teeth and trying his best not to sound angry. Lola really did roll her eyes this time.

"Yes, what about Mark?"

"Mark…Firewire…"

At those words, Zoey looked up, much more interested. "Wait. Mark and Firewire?"

Logan choked. "No, no, not like that! Right?" he asked, looking at Quinn. His girlfriend just kept on laughing. Sighing, Logan say next to her on the couch. "Aren't your sides hurting by now?"

Zoey, instead, looked excited. "Wait. Quinn. Did you see Mark and Firewire—together?"

Quinn merely nodded. Lola sat down on the lower bunk bed with a thud. "Oh my god. No wonder he broke up with you! He's gay!"

"Mark…Firewire…closet…kissing," choked Quinn, confirming their suspicions. Zoey started laughing herself.

"Now that explains why Stacey was so depressed last week after neither Mark nor Firewire would go out on a second date with her."

Logan looked frozen. "Are you—is he really—they're—what?" he stuttered. Lola couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Ah, Logan. Always confused." Grinning, she moved towards the door, Quinn's laughter finally starting to die down. "So Quinn, how exactly did you find this out?"

"Walked into closet—Stacey confirmed," she said briskly, holding her sides tightly. Lola smirked in way that could only be described as evilly.

"I think Jeremiah Trottman will be having some breaking gossip for the PCA news today…"

Zoey frowned. "Isn't that kind of mean?"

Shrugging, Lola headed out the door, her smirk still adorning her face. "That's what happens when you break up with one of Lola Martinez's best friends."

Logan gulped.


Couples: Mark x Firewire; Logan x Quinn

Last line is not meant to hint at anything. And now you see why this one needed to be first. And now for the second one…

Hope you enjoyed!
