A Julian/Logan drabble

Julian shifted nervously in his sleep, tossing and turning and crying out words that Logan couldn't quite work out. Logan held him closer and began whispering soothing words to his boyfriend. He needed Julian to know that he was safe, that nobody could get him; not with Logan here. It had been just over a fortnight since Adam had got to Julian. Logan subconsciously held Julian even tighter as he remembered finding Julian half drugged, half dying of blood loss, and tied to a chair in a dark and intimidating warehouse. He swore on that day that he would never let anyone lay a finger on Julian ever again. He knew he was being over bearing, and that Julian was getting sick of Logan following him everywhere, but he also knew that Julian felt reassured with Logan there.

Julian shifted again, but this time his eyes blinked blearily and he smiled when he was met with green eyes.

"Sorry if I woke you" Logan whispered as he raised his hand to his boyfriend's face

"Why aren't you asleep?" Julian asked sleepily

"I can't sleep"

"Logan, you have to allow yourself to sleep some time. You're gonna burnout"

Logan shook his head "It doesn't matter"

"Well it does to me. Will you please just sleep?"

"I can't"

"Logan" Julian said softly "You have to stop this. I'm not going anywhere okay? Nothing's gonna happen when I'm with you. You know that"

Logan drew in a shuddering breath "I won't let anything happen"

"I know. But you're gonna be no good to anybody if you keep sleep depriving yourself. Stop being an idiot and sleep, okay?"

Logan shook his head and tried to blink away the tears that were forming

"Lo please?" Julian whispered, placing a kiss on Logan's cheek

"What if something does happen?" Logan's breath hitched

"I'm not gonna disappear if you sleep. I'll be here when you wake up. I'll be right here" Julian said curling up against Logan's chest "Please sleep. For me"

"Okay princess. Anything for you" Logan whispered, taking in a shaky breath

"Thank you" Julian said as he kissed his boyfriend lightly. He watched green eyes slowly close before he snuggled closer to Logan and fell into a deep and more peaceful sleep.
