Title: For the LoVe of it all.

Chapter: Chapter Ten: It's You and Me.

Summary: Veronica thinks she can walk away from her past and try to move forward, but will LoVe let her? In this Fiction I have taken the liberty of keeping both Meg alive and Hannah in the picture. Duncan and Veronica are together at this stage and Meg is not pregnant. The bus crash did not happen. Duncan was who arrived at Veronica's door at the end of season one.

Spoilers: I am going to say spoilers for most of season two.

Disclaimer: Alas, I do not own any part of Veronica Mars. It all belongs to the great Rob Thomas.

Author's Note:

This is my first Fanfic so please be gentle!

Also all Veronica's thoughts are in italics and flashbacks in bold.

Chapter Ten: It's You and Me

Veronica spent the rest of the school day anxiously waiting for it to end. She kept trying to tell herself that it wasn't Logan she was excited to see but the more she denied it the clearer it became in her mind.

Logan was the one person who cared about her more than anything and she knew it. She could see it in the way his chocolate brown eyes tenderly looked at her. She also knew that no one had ever made her heart race as fast as Logan did. She felt complete around him.

'Stop it Veronica!' she mentally shouted at herself. 'He's just broken up with Hannah and when you broke up with Duncan he was there for you, you need to do the same for him'

Veronica made a mental note to treat Logan exactly the same way he had treated her this past week, she couldn't let her feelings get in the way.

Logan couldn't wait for the bell to ring; he was a bundle of energy. 'I can't believe that she's single and now I'm single! This is perfect!'

Logan was determined to show Veronica how he felt about her but he had to be careful, he didn't want to scare her away. Logan knew that he had to move slowly and show her the kind of love he wasn't able to show her before.

The bell sounded and he leaped from his chair and made his way out to the Xterra. 'Off to Veronica's' he thought, 'but first a quick pit stop for supplies!'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Veronica sat at home waiting for Logan to arrive. She had fed Backup, gotten hold of her dad to see how the case in Vegas was going and she had even resorted to tidying her room and he still hadn't arrived! She was starting to get worried, 'What if he's forgotten, or what if he decided to try work things out with Hannah'

At that moment Veronica heard a knock at her door, she jumped up and opened it. Standing there was Logan with an armful of Ben and Jerry's, pizza and movies.

"What is all this?" Veronica laughed.

"Well I figured that since I helped you feel better when you and DK broke up, you could do the same thing for me. I'm such a gentleman that I even brought all the supplies for this little pity party!" Logan had a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Veronica motioned for him to come in and he set all the things down in her kitchen.

"Pity party?" she questioned, "I thought this was a meeting about your stalker?"

"You know what they say Ronnie, all work and no play…" he winked.

"Besides, we have the whole afternoon, so lets get started!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Veronica and Logan spent the next 2 hours trying to figure out who this stalker might be, of course Logan was leading her on a wild goose chase and he loved it.

"Logan! Veronica moaned, "we've been at this for two hours and we're no closer to the truth!"

Veronica twisted her hand behind her neck, "And now I have a crick in my neck from staring at these stupid letters for so long."

Logan got up from where he was sitting and sat behind Veronica so that her back was nestled in between his legs. Veronica stiffened as the close contact but Logan just ignored her and began massaging her neck.

"Mmmmm, that feels good" Veronica breathed relaxing into Logan.

Logan bent his head down next to her ear and whispered, " Come on Ronnie, lets get it on"

"W..what!" she exclaimed.

"I said, lets put a movie on" Logan looked at her oddly, "unless you don't want to?"

"N..no , lets watch a movie" Veronica stammered. 'Get a hold of yourself Veronica!' she mentally scolded herself.

Logan slowly stood up pulling Veronica up with him from behind, the feeling of her body against his becoming almost too much for him to handle.

They made their way to the sofa and Veronica grabbed the pizza and ice cream.

They plopped down onto the sofa and Logan put the DVD in. Logan hit play and they both settled in to watch the movie.

Veronica was all too aware of Logan's hip touching hers and she barely even watched the previews. Logan shifted a little so that his arm was slung behind her resting on the sofa cushion. Veronica could smell that spicy scent that reminded her of him.

As the movie went on Veronica found herself relaxing into Logan's side. At the feeling of Veronica against his body Logan looked down only too see her engrossed in the movie, he smiled to himself and they continued to watch in comfortable silence.

Veronica awoke to find herself wrapped in strong warm arms, she let out a contented sigh and she turned around on the couch to face Logan. She smiled at the sweet frown on his face as he slept. She slowly stroked his cheek and wondered how anyone could want to hurt Logan, let alone his own father.

At the feeling of her touch he let out a slight moan and tightened his grip around her, pulling her into his chest, "Love you Ronnie," he mumbled in his sleep.

Veronica's eyes widened at what she heard, for a minute she was in shock, then she merely cuddled closer into him and they fell asleep with her head on his chest and their arms wrapped around each other.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Logan awoke the next morning with Veronica wrapped in his arms.

'I've definitely died and gone to heaven', he thought. He slowly bent down and kissed her forehead.

Veronica awoke at the feeling of his lips on her, "Morning" he smiled down at her with his arms still wrapped around her.

"Hmmmm, morning" she said as she snuggled closer into his chest breathing in the smell of him.

They lay wrapped in each other for a while, none of them wanting to break the spell.

Eventually Veronica shifted in his arms and sat up, "We should probably get ready for school" she sighed.

As she went to stand up Logan grabbed her hand, "Ronnie lets skip school today?" he asked his eyes pleading with hers.

Veronica stared at his puppy dog eyes and let out a laugh. "What are we gonna do all day?" she asked.

"I don't know, but I don't really feel like going to school only to spend my whole day worrying about who this stalker might be" Logan lied.

"And why do I have to stay off with you?" she smiled.

"You know how lonely I get" he moaned, "and besides I'm like a two year old when I'm by myself. You know I can't even make toast without setting the house on fire, you wouldn't want me getting hurt now would you?" he smiled sweetly at her.

"Please Ronnie"

"Okay fine" she sighed in resignation, "but you owe me for this" she warned.

"Hey lady, I didn't charge you for a night spent in my manly embrace did I! The way I see it, you just might owe me."

Veronica snatched up the nearest cushion she could find and began hitting Logan with it. Laughing he lunged at her pinning her down and began tickling her. Veronica's breathing was heavy as she shouted at him "L….Logan s…stop!"

Logan stopped tickling her and his face was inches from hers. Veronica stared up into his brown eyes and Logan licked his lips. He slowly inched down toward her lips and Veronica closed her eyes.

All of a sudden Backup came bounding into the room and tackled Logan sending him flying, Backup pinned him down and began licking his face and slobbering all over him.

Veronica cracked up with laughter, "Backup off!" she commanded.

Logan sat up and wiped his mouth, "Not really the kiss I was looking for!" he grumbled under his breath.

Veronica grabbed Logan's hand and pulled him up. "Come on" she said, "lets get ready and we can go to the beach"

"You take the shower first, I'll go after," she said.

Logan looked at her with one eyebrow raised, "you know, there's enough room in their for the both of us"

"Move Echolls!" she laughed.
