Community garden for the prompt game!

The okra in the garden were getting tall, and their huge yellow blooms reminded Cynthia of hibiscus as though she were in a remote tropical paradise rather than just harvesting pods for cooking. A bead of sweat rolled down the back of her neck under the blazing late morning sun.

Loud squeals and giggles from the plot directly behind her broke her from her reverie. A few droplets from the spray of a garden hose splashed against Cynthia's arm as she turned to see two small girls, with their black pigtails streaming behind them, running around the path that circled their family plot... while their father chased after them with the fine spray of the garden hose.

"Logan!" Cynthia chastised. The last thing she needed was for either of her precious grandbabies to fall and get hurt or to accidentally trample somebody else's plot.

"What? It's hot. They like it!" Logan shrugged as though they hadn't had this same conversation a million times. He quickly turned his sharp blue eyes and mischievous smirk back on his daughters. "Besides, I told you if you two keep growing like beans, I'd have to water you like them!"

Lily and Amelia jumped up and down in place with their little hands thrown towards the sky as they cheered. The cooling water cascaded down around them like a waterfall, and the fine mist cast rainbows in the air as the glare from the sun caught it.

"Nice job, but you're supposed to be watering the tomatoes," came the sardonic drawl of Cynthia's daugher-in-law. Louise adjusted her pink sun hat and tossed the weeds she had been pulling into Cynthia's wheelbarrow to be added to the compost pile. Then Louise picked up her gardening shears and pointed them vaguely towards a row of Japanese Hulless Popcorn labeled Logan's Ears.

Logan bit his lower lip and, with a barely contained chuckle, began to water the tomatoes and corn.

All of Me Loaves All of You [ch1]

[ch0 | NOW ON A03]

A month or so after Logan started working at the restaurant, Louise had a date with Regular-Sized Rudy. They were going for a nice dinner and some fancy show, so she’d dressed appropriately. She’d put on a nice mid-length dress and had let Linda do her hair in light waves. With this and a light application of makeup, she thought she looked very grown up. Absolutely not the kid Logan obviously still thought she was.

Not that she’d been trying to catch his attention as she walked down to the restaurant. She was just going to say goodbye to her dad. Before she went on a romantic date with her boyfriend. Her age appropriate boyfriend who she enjoyed being with.

Logan was wiping tables when she came in, and hardly spared a glance in her direction. She stiffly marched past him and into the kitchen where Bob was frying Teddy’s last burger of the night.

“How do I look?” she asked, spinning in the doorway. Bob looked up and grinned.

“You look nice sweetie.”

“Hey, hey Louise! Did your little friend say where he was taking you? Is it that new place on 4th?” Teddy called out from lobby side.

Sharing a look with Bob and trying not to laugh, Louise shrugged. “He didn’t tell me Teddy, but he should be here soon.”

After giving her dad a hug and being shooed out of the kitchen so she wouldn’t see his tears from his baby girl growing up, Louise managed to knock a salt shaker over on one of the clean booths.

“Hey Logan you missed a spot,” the still very childish young lady called to her coworker. From across the building she watched as Logan’s head shot up to glare at her. It was hard for her to keep a straight face as he moved from the front counter, death glaring with a wet rag in hand, past her to the salty booth. Alright, she didn’t keep a straight face. She had a very cheeky grin on her face. She was allowed to, she’d just inconvenienced her rival and he let it show. 

“Careful Four Ears, bad luck spilling salt,” he said in a warning tone. He was still getting back in the swing of dishing what he took, and Louise had been only moderately patient with our calm he could be now. This was one of those times, she decided as she shrugged in response.

“Bring it, I say.”

There, now he’s seen me for sure, Louise’s invasive thoughts gloated. She grimaced at her own mind as she took a seat next to Teddy. The two of them talked, well mostly Teddy talked and she nodded, until the bell above the door gave a little ring. Nobody had to look up to know who it was at this hour, so it wasn’t a surprise when Louise heard Rudy call out a greeting to the usual restaurant habitants. 

Louise was quick to stand and call out a general goodbye to ensure Teddy wouldn’t get Rudy caught in a trap of politely listening to him go on about the new place on 4th. When she made it to the door Rudy made sure to compliment her attire and leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek. Normally she didn’t allow any PDA, but tonight something in her brain frizzled and she let it happen. 

Her eyes darted to Logan immediately after, but he was walking toward them with a bro-like grin on his face. Very much not bothered by the younger two in love, Logan gave Regular-Sized Rudy a good natured clasp on his shoulder.

“Hey, make sure she doesn’t get you arrested man. And make sure she’s back by midnight or she’ll turn into a cantaloupe,” he teased before dodging a predictable jab from the girl in question.

“Don’t worry she’ll be back in one piece,” the younger man assured. He then held his arm out for Louise to take, like a gentleman. She stuck her tongue out at Logan as she left, holding on to her boyfriend.

-x-x-x-

That was the night Rudy said he was going to travel abroad in Europe for the year for whatever he wanted to do in his life. Louise wouldn’t know, she didn’t stay long enough to hear. Choosing to, for once, not make a scene she’d just told her regular-sized beau to have fun, that it was over, and walked home.

And so 9 o’clock saw a puffy eyed Louise back at her door and up the stairs. Though it would’ve been so easy to go straight to her room without anyone noticing, Bob’s laughter from the living room drew her away from promising solitude. She knew her dad wouldn’t ask her what was wrong if she went to sit and asked for a burn unit. Unfortunately she didn’t wait long enough to hear someone else make a joke about whatever was on tv. This is how Louise found herself standing at the edge of the living room, ready to turn around when she saw Logan sitting on the couch with Bob and checking his watch.

“Dang Four Ears you didn’t scare him off did y-” The taunt was cut short as the blonde looked up and saw the blotchiness that was surely all over Louise’s face. The girl watched numbly as he nudged Bob before standing up.

“Louise are you okay?” the Belcher patriarch asked as Logan excused himself to the kitchen.

The heat that radiated off the blonde as he brushed by almost caused her to break down. 

But this was Louise Belcher, and Louise Belcher doesn’t cry over any boy. Not Rudy, who was running off to explore Europe and probably himself. Not Logan, who felt almost like an entirely different person than the snot nosed punk who’d bounced her own energy back at her in their youth. And not her father, who she had been counting on to not break the battered dam of emotions welling up inside her. No. Louise Belcher doesn’t cry over any boy or anything. Louise Belcher sits on her decrepit couch and stares in the direction of the tv, not quite taking in whatever schlock was on at 9 p.m.

And so Louise walked quietly to the stain-covered couch and did just that. Ignoring the prickling near her eyes and the tears she dared to try to spill out.

She had just started to relax when Logan came back with three mugs of hot chocolate. Two were set on the coffee table and Logan took the other one with him to the armchair, where he continued to try not to look at the girl who was known for not liking to share certain emotions.

Louise stared at the steaming cup of her favorite drink and felt her heart try to bust out of her ribs. From anyone else she would call this a comforting gesture, but from her nemesis a hot drink in summer was obviously something to make her overheat and get sick. It almost made her smile. Almost. Her voice was still monotone when she scoffed.

“It’s the middle of summer and, like, a million degrees, dipshit.”

 Logan didn’t turn to look at her, but she could still see him roll his eyes.

“Actually it’s 67 tonight, so hush or I’ll drink yours too,” he quipped back. Louise let out an offended gasp and immediately moved to pick up her mug. The movement must’ve been enough to catch the blonde’s peripheral, because Louise looked to see him smiling now. It wasn’t the usual smarmy smirk he had when winning an argument between them. It was genuine, and it made Louise forget that she’d been upset. She took a breath.

“Rudy’s going to Europe for a year,” she finally announced. Bob looked a little surprised.

“Oh uh, ar-are you guys going to keep in touch? That’s dumb of me to ask of course you-”

“I broke up with him,” Louise interrupted, voice small.

“Dooo you think you’re going to try to patch things up before he goes?” her dad asked. Louise shrugged and put her mug back on the table.

“I didn’t yell at him, so maybe.” She wasn’t so certain in the moment, that that’s what she wanted. Rudy knew her, maybe they both knew it was time to move on but weren’t sure how. High school sweethearts rarely make it too far, statistically. 

A hand resting on her shoulder broke Louise out of her thoughts, and she looked to see Bob give her an encouraging smile. She smiled back in silent thanks before the three of them commenced the burn unit. For once, she wasn’t upset at sharing her favorite dad-tivity with someone else. When Logan didn’t make a good burn, Louise turned against him and reveled in his fake-hurt gasps or whatever quip he shot back.

The end of the night saw Louise still on the couch, a blanket wrapped around her as she fell asleep leaning on Bob. At some point he got up to join Linda in bed, and let Logan know he was welcome to crash in Gene’s room like always. Bob was very careful in making sure his little girl was carefully laid back down, with a pillow in his place. 

It wasn’t until a while later, when Logan left the armchair to clean up and go to Gene’s room, that Louise somewhat woke up. Everything was hazy as she saw what she thought was her dad move past her, seeing only the legs, and she reached out to grab his pant leg.

“Dad, can you get Kuchi Kopi please?” she asked groggily. Anything after that was a blur as Louise passed out again immediately and was surprised to find the Kuch in her embrace when she woke up the next morning.

She did not patch things up with Rudy until he got back the next year. Just as friends.

Louise challenges Logan to a game of Hide the Pickle. Yes, this was one of the many Louigan thoughts I had while watching the new episode last night.
