Afterglow
by Cordelianne
Fuckin’ Echolls, Weevil thinks. Logan’s already plugging the Playstation back in, his back to Weevil and his ass on display. But Weevil’s not looking, he’s getting the hell out of this rich boy’s fantasy penthouse that lacks the actual Penthouse girls.
“We done? Or are you planning to ruin my game again?” Logan’s holding a controller in one hand and giving Weevil his best don’t-fuck-with-me face.
Now Weevil wants to fuck with him. Wipe the smirk off that pretty boy face.
“Could ruin a lot more than your game.” Weevil steps into Logan’s space, gets in his face.
Logan laughs, short and hard. “Trembling like a leaf here.” He puts down the controller, looks Weevil in the eye. “Give it your best shot.”
****
Logan stands, wiping his hands on his pants. Weevil buckles his belt, briefly catching it on a loop before smoothly sliding it through.
“Alright?” Weevil waves his hand in the general direction of Logan’s crotch.
“I think I can handle it.” Logan runs his hand through his hair, frowns.
“I’m a giver not just a taker.” The arms are crossed and Weevil’s leaning against the wall as if he’s waiting for a friend to return from a beer run.
“Forgot you PCHers are all about community service.”
“Seems like you rich boys do your part too.”
Logan’s eyes flicker over Weevil’s face. “Listen, I’m having people over soon.” Weevil doesn’t move. “I’d invite you, except, wait, no I wouldn’t.”
“A bunch of rich idiots? And you didn’t think of me?” Weevil pushes off the wall. “I’m hurt.” He turns to leave.
Logan heads for the shower. He hears the faint click of the door behind him.
****
They’re on the couch, Weevil on top of Logan, breathing heavily and avoiding each other’s eyes. Weevil pushes himself up, grabs his shirt from the floor and slouches back as he untangles it. Logan stands up stretching, letting his pants and boxers fall to his ankles
He steps out of them, not looking down and walks over to the mini-fridge. He holds up a water bottle in Weevil’s direction. Weevil shakes his head. Logan shrugs, twists off the lid and takes two large swallows.
Slowly Weevil stands up, starts for the door, stops and grabs his jacket. He nods at Logan as he leaves.
Before the door’s completely shut Logan’s back on the couch, channel flicking, still naked.
****
Logan runs a hand over a bruise. Weevil flinches and pulls away.
“What the hell are you doing, man?”
“Seeing if you’re as tough as you say you are.”
Weevil flips Logan over and straddles his hips. He’s pressing Logan’s hands together over his head.
“What do you say now?”
Logan squirms, rubbing his jean-covered cock against Weevil’s thigh.
“I’d say you’re all talk.”
With his free hand, Weevil pulls something from his back pocket. A packet of lube lands on Logan’s chest.
“Let’s see who’s all talk.”
****
Weevil wakes up in a big bed, alone. And naked.
His clothes are piled on the chair beside him. Either Logan Echolls – who he just fucked into the mattress – is being nice, or it’s a hint. Weevil yanks on his jeans ready to take that hint and avoid the after sex – holy fuck with another guy – talk.
He pulls on his shirt, trying to block out the If I’ve fooled around, had blowjobs from a couple of guys before – I’ve fucked another guy – does that make me some big gay fag? question.
Logan’s eating a burger and watching some show with a white guy yelling in court. Weevil doesn’t look over, his eyes on the door.
“Buffalo burger?”
Weevil stops. He stares at the tray Logan’s pointing at, then grabs a burger and sits down on the couch. Beside Logan but not close.
“I hate these shows.” Weevil says, taking a bite.
“You are always on the wrong side of the law and order…”
“Maybe.” Weevil grabs the remote. “Or maybe it just sucks.”
“Hey!”
Weevil holds the remote away, trying to decipher the button code. He tosses it back onto Logan’s lap.
“Why’d they make it so complicated to change the fuckin’ channel?”
Logan scrolls through the menu and selects some teen horror movie. The one that all those TV actors get killed in. “I hear you, man.”
****
The bathroom door swings open and just as quickly closed. Logan kicks the door stopper, wedging it in.
“Looking for me or just needing some private time during the school day?” Weevil flicks water off his hands.
“I’m not gay, man.” Logan tells the soap dispenser just left of Weevil.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“I like girls. Really like them.” He’s looking in Weevil’s direction now but still isn’t making eye contact.
“Yeah, I’ve noticed. You have a thing for blondes.” Weevil glances down. “I get that. I’ve been there too.”
“What the hell does that mean?” Like a switch, Logan’s fired up ready for a fight.
“Don’t be an idiot, or more of an idiot than usual.” Weevil starts to take a step towards Logan but Logan jumps back. “We have similar tastes.” He spells it out. “We’ve been with the same girl.”
Logan rests an arm against the wall and his head on his arm. “This situation isn’t fucked up.”
“At least I didn’t fuck your dad.”
Logan snorts. “Yeah, not many people get two Echolls for the price of one.”
“Did you come here worried I’ll become some love-sick puppy following you around?” Weevil shakes his head. “You don’t have a magic ass. It didn’t give me a personality transplant.”
Logan’s head jerks. Like he’s acknowledging.
“And I’m not gay either.”
“Right. So we return to our regular scheduled programming?” Logan’s talking to the soap dispenser again.
Weevil shrugs.
Logan makes eye contact. Just for a second. It looks like he’s about to step towards Weevil and then he turns away. He kicks the door stopper loose and looks back at Weevil, his hand on the door.
“See you.”
Weevil nods and turns back to the sink.
In the reflection he watches the door close. He stares at that spot for a few more seconds, then wipes his hands on his pants and leaves.
****
A few days later they pass in the hallway. Logan’s holding hands with some blonde girl.
They nod and keep walking.

Comments
“At least I didn’t fuck your dad.” Hah! And - awesome!
Loved the part about the magical ass/personality transplant, too. Loved, loved the ending.
I'm delighted that you love the ending. I really wanted it to be true to how they'd interact with each other afterwards.
That's just the way they are with each other on the show. Except, sadly, without the sex. That's wonderful to hear!! I really wanted them to be in character while having the sex they don't have on the show (as far as we know!!). *g*
Weevil buckles his belt, briefly catching it on a loop before smoothly sliding it through.
You know I love this, but I want to express my love for this sentence in a wider area. *g* Ah it blew me away how it says so much and pays so much attention to detail. Eeee. Lovely.
I love that they bond over bad TV and buffalo burgers and yet can't handle the bigger question. And I like the changes too.
Such great voices and nuances and the end just makes me grin like a loon but also sniffle like crazy.
Seriously excellent work on this. Fo shizzle ;)
I'm so very delighted that you love it!! And I'm very pleased that you like the belt sentence because I enjoy being able to say something by focusing on a detail, and that particular sentence just wrote itself.
Yeah, I feel that they're unlikely to be able to deal with the bigger question in any real way. But that their actions speak for more of a bond between them than they'd admit.
I'm glad that you like the changes! And yay for the voices working - big relief here about that! And I love your reaction to the ending!!!!
Thanks!!! Fo shizzle *g*
“Forgot you PCHers are all about community service.”
Heeeee! I love the banter between the two and how they are always posturing so much with each other. Of course, we know that the real reason that they do that is just because they've been so keen on getting nekkid with each other for so long. ;D Anyway, I was very impressed with the way you wrote their voices and there were a ton of lines in here that really made me giggle or nod.
“Seeing if you’re as tough as you say you are.”
Yeah, I really think part of the attraction to Weevil on Logan's part comes from the fact that he is a tough guy. I think something about his lifestyle would seem fascinating just because it was something that Logan had absolutely no experience with. Or maybe I'm just passing my own Weevil lustage off on Logan. Hee. But I really liked the way that you played them together.
“You don’t have a magic ass. It didn’t give me a personality transplant.”
For shame Weevil! Logan most certainly does have a magic ass! Duh, everybody knows that. I love the way you finished this, sort of open-ended but still tinged with a wee bit of sadness. Wonderful, marvelous stuff. *loves*
YAY!!! I am so pleased that you expanded this! I want you to write more! I am totally going to abuse the exclamation mark until you give in!! Write more!!! More Logan/Weevil now!!!!!!!! *bangs spoon* Also, I got such a kick out of you calling me "sweet and delightful" and now I feel all loved! *smooches you*
I really enjoy the way they interact and how there's so much posturing. And, of course, it's all about the nekkid thing!! I'm very very happy (and relieved!) that the voices work for you! And yay for your reaction to the lines!
Yeah, I really think part of the attraction to Weevil on Logan's part comes from the fact that he is a tough guy. Definitely! Although Logan is a leader - of sorts - of the 09ers, he's not really tough in the way that Weevil is. I suspect that Logan has some desires to be that tough, but probably could never really be like Weevil.
For shame Weevil! Logan most certainly does have a magic ass! teehee! You are not the only one who questions this assertion by Weevil. Clearly whether Logan's ass is magical should be a topic of serious fannish discussion!!! *g*
I'm pleased that you love the ending!! I really wanted something that I could see happening on the show.
I love that you love this, because I really want you and my other wonderful flisters who've been so supportive and encouraging to enjoy it!! This grew out of writing the drabble and then I just didn't want to stop because there was more to tell! Yay for abusing exclamation marks!! It was really fun to write Logan/Weevil so I will definitely be writing more, although I'm trying to focus on some Spike/Xander right now. And you are totally sweet and delightful and many other awesome things!!! *smooches and smoothes you*
Logan’s eyes flicker over Weevil’s face. “Listen, I’m having people over soon.” Weevil doesn’t move. “I’d invite you, except, wait, no I wouldn’t.”
“A bunch of rich idiots? And you didn’t think of me?” Weevil pushes off the wall. “I’m hurt.” He turns to leave.
Perfection for both the fellas.
Perfection for both the fellas. Yay! Yay! Thanks!! *g*
Bwah! Best damn line!
This was good. I really liked the little glimpses into their "encounters" as opposed to regular narrative.
It's a great glimpse into their relationship, and the way they deal with it is a great glimpse at their personalities and insecurities. I love how you addressed so many of their traits without spelling it all out.
Nicely done!
I'm pleased about your comments on the relationship, their personalities and traits. Thanks! *g*
lmao loved it!
Really great job ;)
Thanks so much for the rec, I really appreciate it!! I'm excited by the list of recs because I'd been wanting some Weevil slashy goodness!! And there's lots of Logan/Weevil fics which makes me particularly happy to see. *g*
Stupid boys. (Meaning: you've captured them perfectly.)
And LOL to the magic ass line!
I'm so pleased you think I captured them perfectly! And yay for loving the magic ass line! Thanks!!!! *g*
plus, the spare but powerful mode of storytelling.
superb work.
I'm really delighted by your comments about narrative style, characterization and character voices. It's very important to me for it to sound like the characters, so I'm very happy you can hear the dialogue! Yay to the unspokenness working and the hints of vulnerability coming through (I really enjoyed exploring that).
Yay to the mode of storytelling being powerful! Thanks!!! *g*
Is awesome.
