Logan's Visit

Will checked the clock. Logan had given them an ETA, and Will wanted to make sure everything was ready for his stay. He and Kevin had set up a makeshift bedroom area in the loft, sectioned off with screens, and put a futon in it. And since their own bedroom was pretty much the same set up on the opposite side of the loft, they'd agreed to put the nookie on hold.

"Babe, did you put towels in the bathroom?" Will called to Kevin while he fed Wendell.

"Doing it now," Kevin called back. "And stop looking at the clock."

"How'd you know?" Will laughed.

"I know you," was the reply. "It's an estimated time of arrival, so stop clock watching. When he gets here, we'll grab something to eat and give him a chance to rest up from the trip."

Kevin walked out of the bathroom and over to Will. "Thanks for arranging the skydiving, by the way. I'm really excited to get up there in the morning."

"Me too," Will nodded, giving Kevin a kiss on the cheek. "I was thinking that afterwards we could head out to the Fourth of July festival at the base and stay for the fireworks."

"Hey, I'm easy," Kevin smiled. "You two can do the planning and I'll go along for the ride."

"Yeah, I do," Will smiled, looking in the direction of the kitchen. "Well, I think you sound really happy," he smiled at Logan, "and I think she's very lucky to have you."

ooc: No worries! I've been having trouble with notifs, myself. Grrrr. And thanks! Congrats on the nod, yourself! :-D

Logan grinned, following Will's gaze. "Yeah, I kinda figured you might." Nodding with a small smile, "That I am."

"So how have you been adjusting to everything? You've had a lot of changes over the last couple of months."

OOC: Thanks! I was quite surprised to see that and of course tickled pink! ;D

"It's been pretty great, actually," Will smiled. "I was worried about everything, but it's all working out better than I could have hoped. I'm so happy and feel so lucky."

Logan returned the smile. "That's excellent. I'm happy to hear things are falling into place for you... both of you."

"How has your Mom and Peter been doing?"

"They're great," Will said, pleased to be asked about them. "Mom's still trying to get me and Peter back together, and Peter's still trying to tell her to leave me alone."

Logan chuckled. "They haven't met Kevin yet, have they? Hopefully she'll leave it alone after she sees what a great guy he is."

Will lowered his voice. "Yeah, that's the real test. I'm trying to talk them into flying out here, but Mom's hung up on us going out there as a sign of respect. Don't ask me when my mother suddenly became old-fashioned and traditional. But we don't have the time to fly out there and I think that's making things worse."

Nodding and lowering his voice as well, "It almost sounds like she's trying to make things difficult. Doesn't want to have proof that what she wants isn't going to happen, maybe?"

"I wouldn't be surprised," Will nodded with a sigh. "I love my mom, but she's so hung up on me being with Peter. I guess I should be glad she's so accepting of my life, but..." He looked toward the kitchen where he could see Kevin whistling as he preparted their dinner. "I don't think I have a choice but to tell Kevin we really need to fly out there."

"Families can be difficult." He nodded and followed Will's gaze into the kitchen. "Perhaps just go out for a few days. Any chance Kevin would be able to get away for a long weekend?"

"He'll have to," Will sighed. "I'll find a way to make it work. Even if I could get Mom on the phone with him so she could talk to him. I don't know why she's being so difficult." He laughed softly. "Actually, I do. She's Mom, that's why."

"She loves you and just wants the best for you. Kevin seems like a great guy and very supportive; I'm sure your Mom is going to fall in love with him when she meets him."

Logan took a swallow of beer before asking, "Is Peter still single?"

"Yeah, he is, and I wish Mom would remember why," Will sighed. "Peter's longtime lover died only a few years ago. That's what made me look him up after quite a while of no communication. I don't think he's looking for anyone right now."

"Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that." Logan nodded. "That's understandable - him wanting and needing to take some time."

Pausing a moment, "Your Mom, she kinda sees Peter as family though doesn't she? She'd want the best for both of you and knowing you are both the best, it would only make sense for her. Perhaps she just needs to see that you've found someone else who's in the same class."

"If it wouldn't sound really weird, I'd say Peter and I could be brothers," Will smiled at his friend. "You may be right about the way Mom sees my relationship with him. I hadn't really thought about it that way. I know that since I've been gone, he's been her surrogate son."

Logan nodded, "It may sound weird, but it makes sense too. You guys have known each other a long time." Returning the smile, "It sounds like she misses you quiet a bit. It's kinda nice that Peter can be there for her. For you too, you know she's being looked after."

Will nodded, a little more somber. "Since my dad died, I've been worried about her but I was close by to keep an eye on her. Pete's really eased my mind since I moved out here, though. My mom's a smart woman, but she's never really had to take care of herself. I know I should give her more credit for having a brain in her head, but that's not always easy."

Logan shrugged slightly, "She's your Mom, it's your job to worry. I've never found it had anything to do with how capable or smart she is, it's just the fact that she's your Mom. My Mom raised two boys on her own after Dad died, I knew she was completely capable to take care of herself but I still worried constantly. You wouldn't be a good son if you didn't."

Will had to smile at that. Sometimes it was better hearing something from someone else, especially since he tended to overanalyze everything.

"Thanks, Logan," he said softly, nodding.

"Okay, who's starving?" Kevin called from the kitchen. "Dinner's going to be ready in ten minutes."

Logan smiled and nodded.

Looking over to the kitchen, he called back, "Can't wait, Kevin. It smells delicious."

Returning his attention to Will, "Do you both like to cook?"

"I'm not as good as Kev is, but I do like getting in there and trying things," Will smiled. "What about you?"

Logan grinned, "Well, I don't burn water." He shrugged, "I kinda go by the motto if it takes longer to cook than it does to eat then it's not worth the effort. What kind of things do you like to make?"

Will laughed at Logan's assessment. "I think you're on to something there. Sometimes it's fun to put some effort into thing, I find. But only sometimes. I like to make quick, healthy stuff most of the time." He narrowed his eyes for a second. "The last thing I made was egg white omelets for us yesterday morning. Simple and easy."

Logan nodded, "Simply and easy is always the best. I try to eat healthy for the most part as well. When situation allows anyway." He paused a moment and looked in the direction of the kitchen. "Should we give Kevin a hand at all?"

Will leaned in and whispered, "He doesn't like anyone in his kitchen unless he asks."

At that moment, Kevin called, "Who feels like helping with the salad?"

Will laughed and stood up. "I was just telling Logan I steer clear of the kitchen unless you need me."

"Good," Kevin grinned, winking at them.
