Logan opened his eyes and looked at a linear fluorescent lamp above him. That was an unusual way to wake up.

"Hey…" Logan turned to look where the familiar voice was coming from.

"Hi" he replied looking at Derek disoriented "Where am I?"

Derek smiled and sat on a chair next to Logan's bed "Hospital. You had a concussion"

Logan nodded and felt his head ache. He started to look around and stopped at a table full of 'Get well' cards of different colors and shapes, a small cookie basket and his Ipod.

"Some guys came to visit you but they didn't want to wake you up" Logan continued to stare at the colorful table "The twins wanted to give you a couple of nerf guns but they seemed like they really wanted them so I gave them back… I hope it's okay…" Logan turned to look at his friend and nodded, still confused "They took some cookies too" Derek admitted in defeat "…couldn't help it"

Logan would have smile but his whole body was in so much pain that he just couldn't. Derek looked at him concerned "How do you feel?"

"Like shit" the fluorescent lamp caught his eyes again. He sighed and suddenly became anxious, he remembered everything now "Where's Julian?" the last image he had of his Jules was lying next to him crying out of pain and fear.

"Calm down now" Derek tried not to grin: he was waiting for that question since Logan woke up "I convinced him to go to the cafeteria to grab something to eat"

Both guys stayed in quiet for a minute. Logan was anxious. Where was his Jules? Derek interrupted his thoughts.

"Ramsey expelled Adam, obviously…" Logan listened carefully, if it was up to him he would execute him "Justin told me that his parents are gonna put him in therapy"

"He could drop dead for all that matters" the ceiling was really an interesting place to look at.

Derek nodded.

"Julian talked to the police" Logan looked at Derek for a moment and stared back at the lamp "He put a restriction order just in case. For him and you"

Logan's jaw clenched, he tried to put his arms under his head but there was something that made it difficult: his right hand was wrapped in a cast that weighed too much for him at the moment. Somehow, he managed to lift it and studied it.

"The doctor said that's just for precaution"

A quiet voice came from the door, a guy with brown hair and a shy look was staring at the wounded hand while he was playing with his fingers.

"Jules!" Logan never felt happier in his entire life. His smile was getting bigger and bigger. Julian sensed a warm feeling surrounding his heart and smiled back "Why did it take you so long?"

"Getting some chocolates for Your Highness" he took out of his pocket a Milky Way and threw it to his friend with the same grin.

Derek also smiled and stood up "I'm tired" neither of his friends looked at him, they kept staring at each other. Of course. He tried not to laugh while leaving and patted Julian on the back. Julian finally looked at him and whispered a 'thank you', for everything. The door closed a second later leaving the two guys alone.

"Are you okay?" Logan finally asked breaking the silence.

"Yeah," he nodded shyly "a couple of bruises and a…" he lifted his shirt up to his chest showing his bandaged torso "I hurt my ribs but nothing serious"

Logan nodded and Julian walked towards the chair Derek left close to Logan's bed.

They looked at each other smiling.

"So… what happened after that troglodyte left me unconscious?"

"Derek kicked his ass" Julian actually didn't see anything. He had forgotten about the rest of the world and only focus on Logan.

Come on, Wright, don't do this to me, please. I love you. You said you'll never leave me, Logan, come on! I love you. I am in love with you. I don't care how much it hurts, you mean everything to me! Logan, come on, don't leave me! Wake up!

But that speech was something Logan wasn't aware of and that moment they shared back in the warehouse while Julian was protecting him was something Julian needed to have.

"And now…" Logan tried to sound casual "you're leaving"

Julian snapped out of his memories and smiled "I'm not in a Hollywood mood right now"

Logan laughed softly, his body still hurt. Julian shook his head "I'm taking a break for that madness" he added "at least for the rest of the year"

The blond one agreed and examined the actor carefully: his wrists looked red, like burned. Logan pressed his lips and Julian knew what he was thinking. He crossed his arms, hid his hands and took a deep breath.

"How about you?" Logan jumped a little for the volume in Julian's voice "How do you feel?"

"Awful" he smiled to him "Like someone had beat the crap out of me with a freakin' broomstick"

"Yeah, no kiddin'…" he replied laughing, grabbed his chair and put it closer to Logan's bed.

"Jules?" Julian wasn't looking at him anymore but he was listening. Logan was searching for his eyes "…I'm glad you're staying"

Finally, Julian looked at his green, heart-melting eyes and smiled.

"Me too"

There was a nice comfortable silence between them, both never taking their eyes off of each other.

"Jules?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm trying to hold your hand now" the blond one smiled. Julian looked down and saw Logan's palm facing the ceiling; his fingers were stretched waiting for his hand.

"Oh" Julian blushed. He moved his hand and put it on top of Logan's, both hands locked together. Thank God I'm in a hospital, Julian thought. His heart was trying to jump out of his chest.

And they stayed like that, without making any movement at all staring their hands which now seemed to have become one.

After five minutes of quietness, Logan broke the spell.

"Hey, Jules?"

"Yeah?" he squeezed Logan's hand harder.

"Could you open that Milky Way for me, please?"

Julian looked at him in disbelief and then laughed.

"I don't feel like it" he took his hand away from Logan's and walked towards the table Logan had been watching before "Are those Hummel's cookies?" he took the tiny basket with him and sat back in his chair "Good, I've been dying to eat one!"

He took away the tiny red laze that was tying a cellophane cover for the basket and started eating the cookies. Logan frowned.

"Those are mine, you know…" Julian was still eating them "I'm on a hospital bed, I get the cookies"

"You are a freakin' martyr, sweetie, I give you that" the actor was amused, his legs were resting on Logan's bed and he was still eating his cookies.

Logan sighed, he was entertained too "Seriously, though, the Milky Way" and threw it to the tiny basket making some cookies break. Julian opened it and approached it to his friend. "Thanks", he took a bite.

"Hmm!" Julian exclaimed in pleasure "These are so good…"

"I wouldn't know…" Logan said chewing a piece of chocolate "Apparently I can't have one"

"Relax" he was admiring the cookie he was holding "I'll ask Kurt for the recipe and I'll make you some cookies"

Logan smiled delighted, he felt like a new guy, happier than ever."You'd do that?"

Things were really starting to change for them.

"Buttface wants cookies" Julian contemplated the last cookie while talking, then he stared back at Logan and focus on his perfect green eyes "Buttface has cookies"

The blond guy smiled.
