Logan couldn’t stop smiling. He felt like a bomb of happiness. He tried to contain it but that proved to be much harder than originally thought. It freaked him out a bit. Logan hadn’t been this happy in a long time and didn’t know how to handle it. “What would Patton or Roman do?” he thought. “Those two are endless rivers of emotion.” Should he sit and wait until it goes away? Should he try to make it go away? It was very intense, maybe too intense, but he loved it. He never wanted the feeling to go away.

When Logan came down the stairs from his surprise ‘business’ call, Virgil couldn’t help but stop and stare.

“Uh Virge, you good?” Roman asked. This shook Virgil out of his thoughts.

“Oh yeah. Look at Logan’s smile. I’ve never seen him smile like that before.”

“Oh? You upset that you couldn’t make him smile like that?” Roman teased. Virgil was not amused.

“Oh my God! Get your mind out of the gutter.”

“Um, I didn’t mean it like that, J.D.-lightful.”

“Well, any way you meant it is stupid and wrong.” He paused pouting. He continued. “He’s so monotone all the time. I’ve never seen him that happy before. It’s freaking me out a bit. Like what made him so happy? Is he planning on killing someone or something?”

Logan could hear them loud and clear. They weren’t really trying to be discreet and quiet. He usually would be annoyed and scold them, but after their conversation, he lost it. He was laughing so hard that he had tears coming out of his eyes. It wasn’t even that funny and didn’t intend to be, but he was so slaphappy that he didn’t care. He let the feelings take over. Roman and Virgil stared at him. He laughed so loud and so hard that even Patton came out of the kitchen to stop and stare. After noticing the confused eyes on him, he lost it again. 

Virgil mumbled to Roman. “I told you, he’s gonna kill someone.”

“You good specs?”

Logan calmed himself down then answered. “Yes, I’m fine. It seems that I am better than fine,” he answered smiling.

“Well, I’m glad,” Patton said.

“By chance, why are you so happy?” Virgil asked worriedly.

“Oh my God, Virge! He’s not gonna kill us!”

“You don’t know that!”

This caused another set of giggles to surface from Logan. He tried to suppress them so they could have a decent conversation.

“I do want to know: why are you so happy, Lo?” Patton asked.

He paused his smile faltering. Logan didn’t know how to tell them yet. How would you tell anyone something like this? What would he say? “Hey, some guys I went on a date with recently asked me to be their boyfriend! Yup, guys, plural. There are two of them. That’s right. Everyone I’m polyamorous!” Instead, Logan came up with a lie. “I - I told you it was a business call. I got a promotion… and a pay raise,” he said finishing off with a smile, hoping to convince them.

“Oh! Lo, that’s great!” Patton declared.

“Yeah, nerd. Glad you’re getting the position and pay you deserve.”

Roman seemed convinced, and Patton completely believed him. But Virgil glared at him with confusion. He squinted his eyes seemingly trying to find anything that proved Logan was lying. But apparently found nothing.

“Yeah. Congrats buddy.”

Logan cleared his throat after being stared down and thanked the others.

“We need to celebrate your success!” Patton yelled.

Crap. “Oh no, Patton. That’s very thoughtful of you, but we really don’t have to.”

“Of course, we do Erlenmeyer trash!”

“Dramatic as always, Roman. And really, it’s fine.”

“Well alright Lo, if that’s what you want.” Patton was a bit sad and downcast which made Logan feel guilty. “It’s necessary. I need to keep this secret, at least for now.”

The next couple of weeks seemed to go by in a blur for Logan. When he was with his now boyfriends, time appeared to speed past. He wanted to spend every waking moment with them, to never let go of their embrace, to never stop kissing them. He cancelled plans with his friends over and over again. He gave half-assed, crappy excuses like, “I need to finish some work,” or “I’m tired,” or want to stay at home tonight.” He didn’t think much of his friends’ feelings as his new relationship had taken over most of his thoughts. He was very much an introvert, a quiet person, someone who likes time alone. But these new feelings were so strong that he hated the thought of being away from his partners. It was called it the honeymoon phase for a reason. It wasn’t until six weeks later that his friends confronted him through text.

Pat - ‘Hey Lo, you alright?’

Ro – ‘Yeah. Is everything Gucci Specs?’

Lo – ‘Yes. Everything is “Gucci.”’

V – ‘Falsehood. Buddy, you are hiding something. Why are you avoiding us? Do you not want to hang out with us?’

Lo – ‘First of all, falsehood is my thing.’

V – ‘Bite me.’

Lo – ‘Very mature. Second, I do want to hang out with you all.’

Ro – ‘It doesn’t seem like it.’

Lo – ‘I’m sorry about that.’

Pat – ‘It’s alright, Lo. But is everything okay? Is there anything going on?’

Lo – ‘Nothing major.’

Pat – ‘You know you can talk to us about anything.’

Lo – ‘Thanks, but again everything is fine. But I will admit that my recent actions have not been fair to you three. I apologize.’

Pat – ‘It’s okay Lo! You don’t have to worry!’

V – ‘Yeah, that my job pocket protector.’

Pat – ‘I will PHYSICALLY FIGHT YOU!’

V – ‘Calm down dad. Just a joke.’

Ro – Anyways, wanna hang out tomorrow?’

Pat – ‘Works for me!’

V – ‘Same here.”

Ro – ‘Lo?’

Lo – ‘Yeah. Tomorrow works for me. How about at my place?’

Ro – ‘PERFECT!’

V – ‘You don’t have to yell princy.’

Ro – ‘This is through text.’

V – ‘…I have no regrets. Works for me nerd.’

Pat – ‘You two… Anyways, that’s sound perfect Lo.’

Lo – ‘Then it’s settled.’

That night Logan couldn’t think straight (I mean he’s not straight, but that’s not the point). He felt guilty that he dissed his friends. But he was also happy that everything was still okay between them. He knew it would be awkward, though, at least for him, as he was keeping such a huge secret. They knew he was gay and were okay with it. I mean Roman is gay and Patton is pansexual/panromantic. Virgil doesn’t quite know his orientation but knows he’s at least not straight. And Logan knows that something is definitely going on between Roman and Virgil. The constant glances and hand grazing are enough to convince anyone. And Patton has had this ‘thing’ for a colleague of his for the longest time. But Logan didn’t know how they would react to him being polyamorous. He tried to think logically about the whole situation and his feelings. But his fears kept getting the better of him. Because of this, he did something he hadn’t done in years: Write a journal entry. Granted he didn’t actually have a journal, so he ripped out a piece of paper and got to writing.

Dear journal (sort of journal, entry, paper, I don’t know),

My feelings are too much for me right now, so I decided to write everything down. Tomorrow my friends are coming over to ‘hang out’, and I’m terrified. I want to tell them that I’m polyamorous and tell them about my feelings, but I’m scared. How will they act? Will they hate me? Okay, they won’t hate me, but I don’t think they will be okay with it. Patton will try to seem kind and accepting but won’t understand and never accept it fully. Virgil will be upfront and honest and say what he’s thinking. I honestly believe what he will have to say will be negative. He likes consistency and normalcy, so this big change would cause his anxiety to worsen. And Roman, well he’s is fucking addicted to Disney. Disney is filled with monogamous relationships, even friendships. He also loves romance stories which are always, you guessed it, monogamous. He has this idea in his mind about romance and love that will be impossible to change. I don’t want to admit it, but I do not believe any of them will be okay with me in a relationship with multiple people at once. Maybe one day I can be open about myself, about my feelings, but I don’t think that will be anytime soon.

                                     -Logan Sanders

After he finished writing, a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. His conclusion wasn’t a good one, but at least he was able to get his feelings out without having to talk to anyone about it. He wasn’t good at talking about his feelings. “I should journal more often.” He folded the paper and set it near the end of his desk. He stood up and stretched. He then walked over to his closet to get ready for bed, not realizing the paper had fluttered to the floor.

It was the next day and the four friends were sitting on the couch talking about everyday things. The atmosphere was calm and serene, and Logan felt great. It was nice to be with his friends for the first time in weeks; he regretted ever cutting them out. Roman was currently talking about a funny incident at work. He was a school drama teacher. They were currently running the school version of the musical Beauty and the Beast. They were in dress rehearsal and the kid playing Luminaire had a large candle costume. While rehearsing Be Our Guest, the kids fell right on his butt. The candlesticks of the costume along with his feet went up in the air and stayed that way. He held that position for a solid ten seconds before Roman had to stop everyone. he was laughing so hard, he couldn’t breathe. After Roman finished his story and they ceased laughing, Virgil stood up.

“Be right back. Gotta take a leak.” And with that, he headed upstairs to the bathroom. After he relieved himself and washed his hands, he started the walk back to the living room. But as he glanced over at Logan’s room he paused. He noticed a folded-up paper on the floor. He picked it up and examined it. “Logan never leaves paper on the floor like this. What is this anyway?” With that, he opened it up and read. His eyes widened in surprise. He didn’t know what to do. He needed to talk to Roman and Patton about this but they couldn’t do it right in front of Logan. He took a picture of the content and sent it to Ro and Pat. ‘Found this in Logan’s room. We need to talk about it first then figure out what to do.’ He folded the paper back up and place it on the desk before leaving to go downstairs.

They had continued their conversation like nothing happened. The three exchanged glances every now and then, clearly worried about their friend. When Logan had gotten up to get more water Virgil quick whispered to them, “We’ll talk when he goes to the bathroom.” After that, they gave him cup after cup.

“More water Lo?” Patton asked for what felt like the tenth time, hoping he wasn’t being suspicious.

“No thank you, I’ve had enough water thanks to you guys.”

“We don’t want you to be dehydrated.”

He chuckled at that. “I bet. Anyways, because of all the water I now need to use the restroom. If you will excuse me…” After he closed the bathroom door, the four got closer and began talking.

“So, he’s polyamorous.” Roman started.

“Yes. He also said he wanted to talk about his feelings?” Virgil questioned.

“Does he like someone? Or multiple people?”

“He might.”

“Well, who could that be?” Patton questioned.

Virgil thought hard. He examined Logan’s recent behavior. Logan doesn’t talk to many people. The three of them were basically is only friends, friends that he had been avoiding for the past six weeks. “Wait…”  His eyes went wide.

“What Virge? Is everything okay?” Roman asked, worried. “You don’t think he… he likes us, do you?” After seeing their shocked expressions, he explained. “Think about it. We’re basically his only friends, the only people besides his family that he talks to.”

“Well yeah kiddo, but I don’t think-“ Patton started to say before Virgil cut him off.

“And he has been avoiding us for weeks on end, always giving bad excuses to not hang out with us.”

“I don’t know kiddo.”

“But you do gotta admit padre, that some odd behavior.”

“It is odd, but we can’t be 100% sure he likes us. We need to confront him about it.”

“As always Pat, you’re right,” Roman said. “But what if he does like us?”

“We have to explain that we don’t feel the same, well at least I don’t feel the same. What about you two kiddos?”

“Oh no. I don’t like him that way.” Roman was quick to respond.

“Yeah, same here.” An awkward silence filled the room before Virgil continued. “This is gonna suck.”

Patton placed a hand on his shoulder. Roman secretly placed his hand near Virgil’s jeans and played a bit with the seam trying to soothe him. But this was short lived. They heard the bathroom door open and Logan coming back downstairs. They sat back trying to look normal.

“I think I’m done with water for the night.” He chuckled and a smile came to his lips. But as he sat down and saw the others’ faces, his smile faded. “what’s wrong?”

They all exchanged a quick glance before Virgil explained. “When I went to the bathroom earlier, I found a folded-up letter on the floor of your room.” He paused breathing in and out to calm himself. “Why didn’t you tell us you were polyamorous?” He whispered.

Logan’s eyes went huge. It seemed his eyes were going to pop right out of their sockets. “You-you found that?”

Virgil nodded. “I know you think we wouldn’t accept it, but we do.”

“Really?” Logan questioned.

“Of course, kiddo.”

“We do, nerd.”

Logan couldn’t believe it. “I had only heard negative stories. People are beaten, kicked out, and basically shunned just for being… being poly.”

“Oh kiddo. We would never do anything like that!”

“Yes, it seems I let my worries and fears get to me. You three are the kindest and most accepting people I’ve ever met. I wish I had been more reasonable.”

“No worries buddy. Believe me, sometimes fear does its own thing and you gotta roll with it.”

Logan smirked at that. “I guess so.”

A silence filled the room. Logan thought the worst was over. He contemplated telling the others of his relationship. The others were trying to figure out how to bring the second half of the discussion up.

Finally, Virgil spoke up. “We need to talk about your feelings.”

Logan’s head snapped up at that. “My feelings?” He didn’t understand.

Roman sighed. “From the letter, it seems you have feelings for some people.”

Logan blushed. “You could say that.”

It was Patton’s turn to talk. He put a hand on Logan’s shoulder. “We need to know… do you like us?”

Well, that definitely was surprising. Logan looked at the others before he broke out in laughter. That clearly was not the reaction the others were expecting. “sorry I just…. Hahahaha…. You think I have feelings for you guys?”

“I’m guessing you don’t,” Roman responded.

Logan shook his head, unable to talk from his laughter. The others shortly began to laugh as well until they were all laughing their asses off. When they calmed down Virgil spoke.

“If it’s not us, then who?”

“Yes, specs! Who are they?”

Logan snickered a little. “there are these two guys…”

“Well tell us about them!” Roman screamed.

“I met Jackson at work. One night he asked me out for drinks. Since then we continued to hang out until he asked me out on a date.”

“That’s so cute!” Patton exclaimed.

“The date was great. We got along quite well. But then he seemed to avoid me. When I asked him about it he admitted to already being in a relationship and told me they were poly. He thought I would react bad, but I told him I was poly, too.”

“How long have you known?” Virgil questioned.

“For the past few years. I wondered why relationships never worked for me. I researched and came across the online poly community.  Something finally clicked in my brain. I finally understood a large part of myself.” He smiled, then continued. “Anyway, he introduced me to his boyfriend. It was a part of their rules that they meet each other’s romantic interests.”

“Their rules?”

“Yeah. Every polyamorous ‘group’ has unique rules set so no one oversteps boundaries. It’s to ensure no one gets hurt.”

“You know, monogamous relationships need to take note.”

Logan chuckled at that. “We never intended to get close, but we just clicked. After a while, he asked me out. I guess I’m irresistible.”

Virgil rolled his eyes. “Oh my God.”

“Anyways, we’re a triad.”

“A triad?” Roman asked confused.

“A triad is the name for when three people are all dating each other. We’re all partners as of six weeks ago.”

Squeal! They all jumped and faced Patton who had hands up to his face. “Sorry, I love love!”

“Yes! So, when is the wedding? I better be best man.”

After seeing Logan’s surprised expression, Virgil elbowed Roman. “Stop freaking him out. He just got in this relationship.” He faced Logan. “I’m assuming.”

Logan smiled. “Yes. That’s why I avoided you all. I was ‘hanging out’ with them.”

Roman wiggled his eyebrows. “You were ‘hanging out’ with them?”

Logan gave him a shove. “Get your mind out of the gutter.” He laughed, but then stopped. His face fell. “I’m sorry for cutting you all out for weeks on end. I was caught up in my new relationship that I abandoned you guys.”

“Apology accepted nerd.”

Logan rolled his eyes. “Roman, do you always have to call me by a nickname when addressing me?”

“Yes. I have no choice. It’s the law.”

Logan facepalmed. “Oh my God.”

“Stop bickering you two,” Patton ordered.

“Sorry,” they said in unison.

“So, when are we going to meet these guys?” Virgil asked.

Logan gave an evil smirk. “Not until you and Roman come forward about your relationship.”

Their eyes widened. “H-how-how did you know?”

“You two are painfully obvious.”

Virgil glanced at Roman who smiled and grasped Virgil’s hand in his. “You’ve caught us.”

Patton squealed again, causing everyone to laugh.

“Okay specs. We came forward, now when are we going to meet your guys? I love seeing my friends in love.”

Logan thought for a few seconds. “You guys busy this weekend? You could meet them here at my place.”

“That sounds super!”

“That works for me kiddo.”

“Ditto.”

Logan couldn’t get his smile to go away. It seemed it would be plastered on his face forever.

“I guess because you all came forward about your relationships, I should do the same.” They all turned to Patton, clearly surprised. “You know that guy I’ve liked at work? We have a date next week.”

The other three glanced at each other before turning back to Patton. They covered their faces with their hands, and gave aloud SQUEAL!

“Oh, shut up!”

So i decided to do it! it isn’t that great but i thought it would be fun to explain the scenario I was talking about in my TaeTexts in a bit more detail. The texts continue on after this as you can tell if you’ve already read them. It is a bit drabble didn’t know if it was fluff worthy because eh i don’t know. I’m looking at writing more on here and posting about the boys because I used to write so much fanfiction and want to get back into it haha. Anyway I hope you all enjoy and thank you to my followers! I’m so happy you are all enjoying my text posts and would love to hear more about you all if you want to talk in my asks or PM’s I’m always up for a chat! 

-

My mind was going crazy. I had too many things to remember with moving to a new country. My new job and everything that came with it, getting around and figuring out how to get where I needed to be, as well as new living conditions. The cultural change was too much to take in, but I signed up for it. After leaving home and my now ex-boyfriend, I needed a fresh start. South Korea had always been a dream ever since I was a teenager, and now it was finally happening. My dream job in my dream country. Now all that was left was to fit in.

After my orientation at the school I was now working for, I had of course, managed to get myself lost. I knew I was close to my apartment but everything was so unfamiliar and I was slightly in a form of panic. My mind was running a million miles per hour and all I wanted to do was go home, relax and figure out an easier route to and from work for the next day. It didn’t help that I didn’t know anyone either.

“Oh! I’m so sorry!” I said, bowing my head continuously to the man I had just ran into. I didn’t want to look up, I was so embarrassed. The only thing I was thankful for right now was being able to speak a decent amount of Korean. After a few seconds of silence I looked up at the taller man wishing I hadn’t. His eyes were big and brown; his hair a light hazelnut color, and his smile… why was he smiling?

“Don’t apologize! It was more my fault then yours.” His voice was deep and soothing, a tone I could honestly say, I’d never heard before in person. From his sudden kindness, I assumed he could see how embarrassed I was as my face started heating up. How could I have run into someone, let alone someone as handsome as him?

“I’m so sorry.” That’s all I could say. And when I did, he laughed. Making my face heat up even more. But I know this time it wasn’t out of embarrassment. His hand suddenly reached out and touched my shoulder gently. His smile was so warm.

“It’s really okay. Why are you so flustered? Are you lost?” I bit my lip and looked around for a few seconds, then straight back at him. I laughed a little to lighten the situation, although I was the only one who was tense.

“Ah yeah, a little. I was trying to remember my way home. I know I’m in the area I jus-“

“It’s okay, you don’t have to explain yourself. Where are you trying to go? I can probably help, I live around here too.’ He had guided me off to the side out of the way of the busy people rushing past.

“I’m looking for building 17. I’m hoping there’s only one of those in this area.” I said laughing lightly. I was still nervous. I was so thankful he was taking the time to help me. Who knows maybe meeting him was suppose to happen.

“Ah yeah, building 17 is just around the corner. Did you want directions? Or I can walk with you if you’d like.” Although his offer was tempting to take, I didn’t want to put this poor man I just run into so hard out of his way.

“Oh no no its okay. Just the directions if you don’t mind? I’ll have to learn my way around somehow.” I laughed. He half smiled at me and I was now worried I offended him. I have so much to learn being so new here.

“Okay. See the coffee shop on the corner over there?” He said pointing to the end of the street on the other side of the road. I nodded in response. “If you go down the street next to it, and turn left, you’ll see the building number lit up and you’re there. You weren’t too far away from it at all.” His smug laugh made me feel giddy. I felt terrible for not being able to pay him back with anything for helping me.

“Thank you so much! How can I repay you for your help?” his face suddenly looked confused but his smile was still obvious. Maybe he thought I was stupid. Maybe I was acting stupid. But I was only trying to be kind. He made my journey home a lot easier that’s for sure. I watched his expression change from confused to smug in a matter of seconds.

“I would usually say nothing but, seeing as how I’d like to meet you again, how about your number?” My heart fluttered. He wanted my number? This man who was way out of my league wanted my number? I couldn’t find the right words to come out of my mouth so I just fumbled in my bag for my phone, bringing my number up on the screen. I watched his face light up and he pulled his phone out also, typing the digits off my screen onto his. Although I was in shock, happiness was taking over my body.

As I watched him put his phone back in his pocket, I felt his eyes on my face. I was now way to nervous to think about what to say next.

“Thank you. Maybe I’ll text you later on.” I looked up and smiled, hoping I didn’t look too happy. But I was. I finally found someone who could possibly help me find my way around this city.

“Okay.” I said faintly. He laughed quietly this time and squeezed my shoulder gently before walking off behind me. I was in shock that he had just left without saying anything but maybe I was coming off as too weird? Oh god I probably stuffed this up. As soon as a cute guy asks for my number I can’t even function properly. What was wrong with me? Maybe it was because he caught me off guard? With the running into each other and the random ‘can I have your number?’. He was so not going to text me. He’d probably decided I was too weird and thought leaving now would be a decent thing to do.

When I found my building, I went in and took a long bath. Mentally bashing myself for not being more alive and confident in that situation. He was so good looking it left me speechless. And the fact he asked for my number! That was crazy! If anything I just blew my chance of having a decent friend let alone anything else!

A few hours had gone by and my brain just wouldn’t shut off. I hadn’t even looked up how to get to work tomorrow and it was already so late. How was I supposed to sleep anyway?

Just as I was getting ready to get out of the bath, my phone lit up. I almost jumped to grab it in hopes it was him. As I looked at the screen, it was from an unknown number.

998-098-167 : Hello! :)

If this wasn’t him, I was going to be a wreck all night.
