Tumblr ficlet prompt: I've been obsessed with the concept of Logan doing sneaky little romantic things like taking Wade on a date but he doesn't know it's a date/logan doesn't want him to know it's a date, getting him little things and trying to pass it off as no big deal

Here's a little combination!!

---

"That was fun," Wade said as soon as they walked in the door. He immediately dropped his coat to the floor and slipped on his crocs, bending down to gather Mary Puppins into his arms. "Who's a good girl?" he cooed. "You are, my little precious baby!"

Logan picked up Wade's coat and hung both on the rack. He walked over to Wade who was still kissing Mary Puppins's head in repeated affection. "You had a good time? I wasn't sure you'd like it."

"Oh, I hate bowling. I haven't been since I thought I was straight," Wade said. "But watching you work so hard and shake that little tush to impress me was so adorable. And we had the whole place to ourselves!"

Wade wearing his full suit might have had something to do with that. Not that Logan had been complaining.

"Were you impressed?" Logan asked, only half teasing. He walked over to the fridge and pulled out a couple of drinks.

Wade cocked his head like he was thinking about it. "If I could remember what an impressive bowling score was, I'm sure I would have been. My eyes were on your ass for ninety percent of night. Why did you want to go to a bowling alley anyway?"

Logan tapped the drink to the back of Wade's head and dropped it in his hand. Wade immediately unscrewed the cap and lifted his mask to start drinking it.

"Holy fuck, that's so good," he gushed. "What is this?" He looked at the label.

"It's new, I think? Thought you might like it," Logan said. He scratched his neck. "You kept saying you were craving chocolate the other day."

He shrugged while Wade watched him, sipping on his drink.

"Are you having a mid-nearly-immortal-life crisis?" Wade asked.

Logan turned to him, brow furrowed. "What? No."

"Yesterday you gave me that Hello Kitty keychain you 'thought I would like'. And last week you brought in a bunch of outfits for Mary Puppins to try on out of fucking nowhere and the whole day became a photoshoot sesh, which you normally hate."

"One of the X-Men was getting rid of them," Logan said.

"You've been dropping random shit in my lap for weeks. And last week we went thrifting for four hours and you didn't complain even once."

Logan hadn't thought he'd been keeping track.

"And now bowling? What's up, peanut? Are you dying?"

Logan sipped his drink quietly for a second. "Wanted to take you out. I always liked bowling. Makes for a solid date spot."

Wade ripped off his mask and just stared at him.

"Date? That was a date?"

Wade slapped his hands over his mouth.

"Holy fuck. You've been wining and dining me? That taco truck you tracked down for me three days ago after we took care of that warehouse situation...Logan!"

Logan lifted his shoulders like it wasn't a big deal. It really wasn't.

"You sneaky little motherfucker. Is this your plot to make me fall in love with you?" Wade stood up and marched over. "Because it'll work! Food trucks after doing a bunch of murder is my weakness. But you should know..."

He stopped in front of Logan and walked his fingers up his chest. Logan snatched his hand and shifted closer, wrapping his arm around Wade's waist.

"What?" he said lowly.

"I'm wearing my rubber masturbating shoes," Wade whispered loudly. "Meet me in the bedroom after you shower. We are not fucking while you smell like a bowling alley."

Logan leaned his head forward, chuckling. His head bumped into Wade's, so all it took was a shift in angle to meet his mouth in a kiss.

For the tumblr peeps ONLY, I will answer.. yes Logan was going to spontaneously ask Wade to marry him 😌 Wade's spidey senses saved the day or ruined it?

There were like...four versions of this whole part of the story because I wanted it to feel right. Obviously I'm happy where it ended up but there are some interactions I'm sad I have to hold onto. I'll find a way 🔥🔥 dialogue will LIVE ON

[farmhandler]

Post tonight you guys HOLD ME TO IT

[farmhandler]

I may have my idea for the next piece in the series....

[farmhandler]

Btw idc if you ever run out of plot or anything I would read your poolverine washing the dishes

Aww thank you anon!! 🥺 I do sometimes worry people find the more domestic scenes boring, so it is nice to hear!

[farmhandler]

What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall of one of Wade’s therapy sessions w dale lmao

Anon, if I could write an interesting therapy session I would for you 😭 I just think it's really difficult to accomplish and I trust myself zero percent

[farmhandler]

[farmhandler]

I'm still unpacking but tonight we post...!

[farmhandler]

having no friends in current fandoms means YOU yes YOU get my dumb thoughts!

[farmhandler]

Sometimes I read my own fic and I'm like

who wrote this

[farmhandler]

Does anyone else do this? I think it was @waterme-stories who used the term 'ninja editing'. After posting a chapter is usually when I end up getting some quick inspiration and sometimes I'll even add entire scenes

Hi :) idk if you give writing advice, but i have this wip that's really only vignettes and not really a full story, it's only 5.5k words so far. I personally like reading fics that are waaay longer and feel the need to flesh it out somewhat. do i just write what feels right and if it's short then it's short, or do i fluff it up more (thoughtfully of course)

(i should also mention this is like the first full story i've written, ive had attempts before but never really committed to finishing something)

Hey anon!! I don't mind at all. I'm no expert but I can share my thoughts 💖💖 I love longfic too, but I have enjoyed many a vignette-style fic, so I would say there's absolutely an audience there for you. I've read some really beautiful short fics that make me so jealous I can't seem to keep mine below 5k!

If it were me, I'd say write what feels right! My own process is pretty chaotic and I tend to let the story figure itself out before worrying about the length. Especially if it's your first fully finished story, preemptively boxing yourself might make it feel unnecessarily stressful. If you end up wanting to thoughtfully fluff it up, no harm in that either.

My sibling in christ, i ate up every single chapter of come hell or high water like a delicious multi-course dinner at a michelin-star restaurant. If and when you post that 20k sopping wet and sad poolverine fic i will be FIRST 👏 IN 👏 LINE. Gimme those miserable old men
