"No."
"We have to."
"No. You know as well as I do that he doesn't want to see us. He doesn't want to see us, I don't want to see him, why should we let him come over and ruin our holiday?"
"Logan." Julian sat down on the couch and pulled Logan down next to him. "Michelle called me, telling me that she misses seeing you and wants to spend a day with you since it's the holidays. You can't deny her that."
"She's still married to my father. I can deny her anything I want."
"Logan." Julian turned to face Logan, turning Logan's face towards him and kissing him softly on the lips. "Shouldn't I be the one freaking out about actually spending time with my in-laws? It'll be fine."
"Have you met my father?"
"Yes, I have. Multiple times in fact."
Logan pulled a face. "Yes well. That was when you were "straight" and my father didn't think there was any threat to you turning gay. It's different now that we're together. You can't please everyone, and you won't be able to please him."
"I'm not doing anything to please him, I'm doing this to please Michelle."
"THAT WON'T BE ENOUGH FOR HIM."
"Logan honey, calm down. I won't let him get to me. I won't let him get to you. This is our home, he's not a part of it. If he's rude, I'll personally throw him out."
Logan sank back into the couch, rubbing his face. "I just. I never want you to ever be subject to his opinions on our sexuality."
"I'm not going to shatter, Logan."
"I know. I just hate him."
"I know sweetie, I know." Julian curled into Logan's side and pulled Logan's arm around him as he snuggled closer. "I can't just tell him I retract our invitation."
Logan only grunted in reply, his arm tightening around Julian as if he was trying to protect him from something.
"It'll be fine, I promise." Julian sat up and pressed a kiss firmly to Logan's lips, letting his hands rest on Logan's hips. "Now come on. Enough in-laws talk. I've missed you."
Logan smirked and shook his head before ducking down and capturing Julian's lips in a kiss.
