Logan asks someone out

"Its going to be a disaster." Dick tells him for god it had to be the eighteenth time so far.

"It's not." He replies.

Again.

He knows that Dick came over for some sort of brotherly thumbs up, some encouragement that he wasn't completely going to fuck everything up but so far he hasn't actually told him what was going to be a disaster.

He had however chosen the avatar Mac always uses to lay waste to them both.

He knows its about Mac.

Not just because he knows Dick but also because Pete let him in on the gossip.

He hates how much he enjoys that shit. He blames Trina and Lily. They had ruined him for life.

Pete had told him that Dick had basically told the Pi Sig's that he had better things to do with his time than try and fuck girls for points. He'd thrown a couple hundreds down on the table and sped off into the night. He didn't know what the money was for but it sounded pretty bad ass, and totally Dick.

That could really only mean one thing. Dick had finally sorted out that Mac was his girlfriend, had been for a while.

Pete had also let him in on the fact that he hasn't spent a single night at the house in a solid month.

He kills Dick.

Again.

"Did you want to actually tell me what your freaking out about or should I just guess?"

"I didn't tell you?"

"No. You grabbed a beer from the fridge and just started playing Soul Calibur. Badly might I add."

"Then how do you know it isn't going to be a disaster?"

"Because I'm smart and took an educated guess."

Dick narrows his eyes at him and empties his beer, he sets it down too hard on the coffee table and fixes him with another glare, "fine than smart ass what am I freaking out about?"

"That you quit sex quest for Mac?"

Dick blinks at him a couple of times before he opens his mouth, "how did you know that?"

"I have my sources."

"It's Pete right? That gossipy bitch, he's as bad as you. I swear he either wants to marry Mac or he wants me too."

Logan is fairly certain that Pete does not have any interest in Mac like that.

"Also a couple of Kappas asked me if it was true that you had a girlfriend. Like a good and proper girlfriend."

It seemed to him that the rest of the Greek system had a pool going on as to if the rumour's were true.

"What did you say?"

"I told them I wasn't your god damn keeper."

Which was a lot less true than he'd like.

"She doesn't know I quit it for her." He tells the controller and god is Dick bashful about this?

"Why didn't you tell her?"

"I don't know man it kinda feels like I shouldn't have too. Like she should just know that I wouldn't do that to her."

He can understand just wanting a girlfriend to believe that you weren't a piece of shit by default.

"I'm sure she knows man."

Dicks smile is soft and he's not sure he had ever seen a soft expression pass Dicks face until Mac came along. Its a nice thing.

"So what is this huge disastrous thing if it's not telling Mac you like her?"

"Were going on a date on Saturday."

"A date? You're freaking out because of a date?"

"Not a date, dip shit, first date."

"Dude it'll be fine." He waves it off and starts another round which Dick instantly pauses.

"I don't know what to do. She'll want to talk about stuff, I don't know what to talk about, she's going to think I'm stupid."

"She's not going to think your stupid."

Oh my god this is fucking hilarious. He is going to call Wallace the second Dick leaves. Or maybe when he goes to the bathroom he's not sure he can wait.

"She is."

"She doesn't think your stupid Dick." He sighs. Its true. He's positive that Mac doesn't think he's stupid. If she thinks anything like that she probably just thinks he's lazy. Dick has a very specific knowledge, he knows the market and business crap without even trying. In fact he's had Dick explain economic concepts to him before. He always does it with vulgar points of reference but it always makes perfect sense after.

Dick doesn't look convinced but he pushes passed it to the apparent plethora of topics he's freaking the fuck out about.

"Why are we seeing a sequel is this some kind of test?! Am I supposed to go out and see the first one? She said it didn't matter but I bet it does. And she seems to really like this movie what if I don't like it? Are we done forever if I don't like it? It's a test. Its got to be a test that's how girls work right?"

Wow.

"What are you doing on your date man?"

"Were going to go see Evil Dead 2 down town."

"Sweet in the theatre?"

"Yeah..."

"Okay A. She's right you don't need to see the first one B. Your going to like the movie. And C. What time is it?"

"No. No way. You are not going." Dick stands up quickly the controller crashing to the floor.

He starts pacing the length of the length of the living room.

"Oh god. Were going to a movie that she actually wants me to like. That means I can't feel her up doesn't it. What if she wears a skirt am I still not supposed to? Am I supposed to actually pay attention!"

He can't believe how concerned Dick is about this whole thing. God he must really really like Mac to not want to fuck it up this badly.

"Dick it'll be fine."

Dick stops dead in the middle of his pace, "oh my god."

"What?"

"Were not going to have sex are we?" He asks seriously.

"No Dick, we've talked about this I just don't feel that way about you."

"Logan! I'm serious!" He flops backwards over the couch his head barely missing the coffee table. Logan pushes the coffee table further away from the couch, he hates how he held his breath when he thought Dick was going to smash his head. Seriously when did he become a mother?

"You've had sex with her before it's not a big deal man."

"It is a big deal."

"How?" He asks leaning back against the arm of the chair looking at his upside down best friend.

"If I try something she's going to think I think she's a tramp or somethin'."

"Do you?"

"Do I what?"

"Think she's a tramp?"

Dick sits up so quickly that the couch rocks a little as he rights himself, "Of course I don't. I'd never. It's just I want to like respect her and junk." he shrugs like it's not a big deal and it wouldn't be if he was anyone else. Dick Casablancas wanting to actually respect a girl, not just make her think he respects her. Two very different things. One of which Dick was occasional master of.

"Then don't have sex with her."

Dick looked appalled at the very idea and he had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing. It was like the idea physically pained him.

"What if she thinks I'm not interested any more? What if me not making a move makes her think I've decided that dating her isn't worth the effort? God girls or so hard."

"Only the ones you pay extra for." Logan bites back a smile and is pleased to see that Dick's mood has lightened at least a little with his hermaphrodite joke.

"I really like her Logan." he whispers looking at his hands and the whole sight just warms everything in him. A world where Dick can find that is a world that Logan could have faith in.

"I know."

Dick coughs nervously and gets up from the couch, "I have to go...you're sure I don't need to see Evil Dead?"

"I'm sure man. It'll be fine."

Dick rubs the back of his neck nervously but nods and leaves the suite claiming that he has homework to do. Logan can see the time, he knows that Dick is on his way to climb in through Mac's bedroom window.

The second the door is closed he's on the phone.

"Hey so I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie this weekend?"

"That's funny I was going to ask you the same thing." Wallace laughs on the other end.

He knows that he shouldn't spy on them but god he really wants to and he's so glad that Wallace is on board as well. It'll feel less creepy if he has company.
