This is from a prompt on tumblr. I am trying my best to keep updating this but now most of my drabbles are posted on tumblr and I forget to upload them here so... Sorry. I hope you enjoy this, though. By the way, I have a Rane drabble series going on on my tumblr with Jogan and Klaine involvement. For a link to my drabbles page you can find it at the bottom. -Lara
Logan nervously paced up and down his bedroom floor, internally scolding himself for not just walking right up to Julian and sweeping him off of his feet like he'd done to every other guy.
But that was exactly it. Every time he tried the high-and-mighty act it failed. Julian was his best friend. His best friend who was in love with him. His best friend he was really starting to feel attracted to. And he didn't want to fuck this up. He couldn't.
"Logan." Derek mused from his spot on the prefects bed, who'd been watching Logan pace for the best part of thirty minutes. "No matter what way you ask him out, he's going to say yes."
The blonde stopped and looked at him. "You don't know that."
Derek snorted. "Of course I know that, Lo. He's been in love with you for three years, what makes you think he's going to turn you down?"
"Because I'm an asshole and most other guys have?" Logan drawled, stopping his pacing to run a hand through his hair.
"Well, sure. There's that." Derek said thoughtfully. "But those guys haven't been interested in you like Julian has been. Now, will you just go ask him out already?"
Logan groaned. "Fine, fine!" He snapped walking towards the door.
"Hey, Lo!" Derek called. "You really should put a shirt on first, man! I think that's a bit forward of you to show up half naked."
Logan looked down to realize Derek was right. He wasn't wearing a shirt. Fighting back a blush, he pulled his t-shirt off his desk and walked back out the door, slamming it behind him leaving Derek to snicker in amusement.
Five minutes later, Logan was still pacing outside Julian's door, working up the nerve to knock. He was just raising his hand to open the door when it swung open, Julian staring at him with interest as he leaned against the door frame.
"Any reason you're trying to wear out the floor in front of my door?" He asked.
Logan smiled despite himself and looked down sheepishly, feeling even more nervous. "I wanted to ask you something."
Julian's eyebrows raised in curiosity. "What?"
The prefect felt his throat tighten with nerves, his stomach flipping. For fucks sake, he swore to himself. It's just Julian.
"Logan?" Julian questioned.
"I wanted to know.." Logan started. Julian still listened curiously, nervousness starting to bubble up in himself. "I wanted to know if you'd go on a date with me?"
Julian blinked at him in surprise, his lips twitching upwards slightly. "You're asking me out?"
Logan rolled his eyes, swapping his weight from foot to foot. "Trying to would be the correct phrasing."
Julian hummed in amusement. "Sure."
It was Logan who blinked at him this time. "Sure?"
"Yeah." Julian confirmed, suddenly feeling a bit shy as he ducked his head. "I'll go out with you."
Logan smiled a bit more easily. "I'll pick you up tomorrow night at six then."
Julian laughed again. "We live two doors down from each other."
"So?" Logan asked, making Julian meet his eyes which where glinting in amusement. "I'll see you later, Jules." He said before walking back towards his room and entering.
Julian waited, twirling a finger in his hair as he watched Logan's figure disappear behind the door before he smiled giddily and went back into his own room, feeling like a teenage girl.
Logan did an air punch as soon as he entered his room, only to hear laughing when he suddenly remember Derek was in his room.
"I took it he said yes like I told you he would?" Derek murmured.
"Shut up." Logan said with a smile. "Now get out of here, I have stuff to do."
Derek scoffed and threw down the magazine he was reading as he jumped off the bed. "A date with Julian to plan, you mean."
Logan rolled his eyes, holding the door open for Derek who shot him a smirk before he left.
The next night, they where both pacing, equally as nervous. Julian ran a comb numerous times through his hair as time ticked down and Logan would be knocking any second and-
Oh. There was the knock. Julian panicked, dropping the comb. He swore quietly, picking it up and throwing it on his bed. He looked around, grabbing his phone, wallet and keys before smoothing down his black button down, pulling on his coat and taking a deep breath. He opened the door, smiling coolly at a fidgeting Logan.
Julian's breath caught in his throat because Logan looked gorgeous. Way more than usual. He was wearing a pair of black jeans, a green shirt that matched his eyes and a black jacket. It was usual for Logan, but it was just even more attractive to Julian.
"Hey." Logan greeted. "Ready to go?"
Julian nodded and stepped out of his room, closing the door behind him before he and Logan began to walk down the stairs in a sort of awkward silence.
"Use protection!" Derek hollered from the common room as they opened the front door. Both glared at their best friend, blushing slightly as they stepped outside into the cool air.
"Where are we going?" Julian asked conversationally as they walked towards the car-park.
Logan grinned at him. "I thought a movie and ice-cream because it's kind of low-key and you won't get recognized?"
Julian's eyes lit up in surprise before he said, "Fine, but no movie I'm in."
Logan laughed, opening Julian's door for him. Logan raised his eyebrows in amusement at Julian's affronted look but said nothing as the brunette climbed in.
Two hours, a comfortable car ride, and two hour movie later Logan and Julian ended up in a small ice-cream shop on a deserted street in Westerville. It was almost 8:30pm now, and they where both enjoying themselves. Logan had bought the tickets for the movie- while Julian bought the snacks.
The movie was fine. Logan enjoyed listening to Julian criticize the actors/actresses at numerous times. It was funny. Logan also liked how Julian's eyes crinkled up when he laughed. Luckily, they'd gone unnoticed all night.
Sitting down at a small table, Julian suddenly felt nervousness overcome him again. During the movie they where able to concentrate on something, and they where in the dark, but now it was just them in a quiet, old-fashioned ice-cream shop. On a date. Their first date.
"You alright?" Logan asked after a few moments.
Julian smiled around the spoon of ice cream he was eating, lowering his head bashfully. He could feel the blush coming up on his cheeks and he just wanted to run and hide under a rock.
Logan smiled at him, tilting his head sideways. "You're nervous." He stated.
Julian rolled his eyes, even as they where still firmly glued to the table. However, he was still smiling and blushing so bad he felt like kicking himself. He was meant to be an actor for gods sake. "Don't judge me." He murmured instead.
"I'm not." Logan said, amusement in his tone. "Because if you where able to even look at me for more than two seconds you'd see I'm just as nervous."
Julian glanced up, seeing Logan a little rosy himself as his eyes darted around the place. "We've been best friends for three years and it's like we're strangers." Julian muttered.
"New territory." Logan replied.
"What do you mean?" Julian asked, taking another bite of his vanilla ice-cream.
Logan smiled thoughtfully. "The fact that I'm dating you now and you kind of have to put up with me?"
Julian bit his lip to stop a grin spreading as his eyes met Logan's for a few seconds. "I always put up with you before." He stated. Julian looked up to see Logan looking down at his own ice-cream, smiling slightly. "Lo, you're the one who's blushing now." He snickered.
Logan rolled his eyes at him, relaxing a little bit. "Want to try this?" He asked, pointing to his mint ice-cream.
The actor raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "This is going to make me fat enough."
"You're not fat." Logan shot back instantly.
"Hmm.. Maybe not." Julian hummed. "But paparazzi photos aren't always that flattering."
Logan just smiled at him, holding out his spoon for Julian to take. The actor eyed it suspiciously before taking it and tasting it. He pulled the spoon out with a pop, licking his lips.
"Not bad." He said contemplatively, ignoring how Logan had also had that spoon in his mouth as he handed it back.
"Wanna get going?" Logan asked curiously.
Julian nodded, pushing away his ice-cream. "Any more junk food and I'm going to grow cavities."
Logan was surprised when Julian got up first and offered his hand to Logan. Julian seemed to realize what he did and blushed a little, looking away. He snapped his gaze back instantly when he felt a warm hand take it and stand up. Logan smiled at him and allowed Julian to pull him out of the shop.
They walked in silence for a bit, swinging their hands between them, both smiling slightly. Once more, when they reached the car Logan opened the door for Julian who just rolled his eyes in amusement and got in.
Walking back towards Stuart was in relative silence again, seeing as it was almost 9:30. They held hands again, both their stomachs jumping as they walked through the doors of Stuart, climbing the stairs. No one was around- not even in the common room. Logan assumed they'd all gone to hang out in the main hall or something.
They came to Julian's room first when it suddenly got awkward all over again before Julian laughed, pulling Logan into a hug.
The prefect froze at the sudden contact but relented, wrapping his arms around the small brunette and squeezing. Julian smiled into Logan's chest before pulling back and opening his door. Turning back around to say goodnight, Logan leaned down and kissed his cheek softly, making Julian's face go a nice shade of tomato.
"Thanks for tonight, Logan." Julian said with a shy smile.
Logan smiled back at him. "Not bad for a first date, hm?" Julian just nodded in response. "Second date tomorrow?"
Julian looked up in surprise. "You want to go on a second date?"
The prefect laughed. "Why wouldn't I?"
Julian worked his jaw for words but he just smiled, stepping into his bedroom. "Goodnight, Lo."
"Night Jules." Logan replied with a soft smile as Julian shut his door.
Logan stared for a moment, wondering if he should have kissed him.
Nah, there was always tomorrow and the day after that.
Logan walked back to his room with a jump to his step before shutting the door, falling face first onto his bed and letting out a happy sigh.
Down the hall, Julian was doing the exact same thing, unable to wipe the grin off of his face.
