02 : Time Spent Together

When Logan and I made it to the park we started to walk around the pond instead of sitting. Me and staying still is not something natural in my life and thankfully Logan is alright with continuous walking around a pond.

"What did you do at work?" I threw my empty cup in a park trash and peeled the wrapper off my muffin. "Since I think SHIELD is now gone."

When Logan and I first met he told me he was an employee at SHIELD, but never said in which department. But now that SHIELD was destroyed I have no idea what he's doing. Especially since he just went on a trip for SHIELD.

Logan smiled slightly. "Yes. SHIELDs history has finally come to light and was disbanded." I nodded. "But my work is with a very extended branch of SHIELD. My work hasn't changed."

I smiled. "I guess that means your still stuck behind a computer then."

Logan smiled softly. "Yes. I am most definitely stuck." He said with slight bitterness.

"Why not change jobs? I mean.. I know you aren't a fan of being stuck behind a desk. Why not see if there is something else you could do?"

Logan looked off in though sadly. "I can't... I am on a contract of sorts."

I tsked. "And here I thought you were the smartest man on Earth." Logan chuckled lightly, I smiled. "I can have a look at the contract. See if there are any loopholes since SHIELD is no more."

Logan shook his head slightly. "It is a extremely binding contract." He twisted his empty cup in hand. "There is no way out except for time and good behavior." He threw the cup in the trash.

"Still. I can look." I nudged him. "I know the only thing I am good at is messing up and fidgeting but I have knowledge on business matters."

When I graduated high school I chose to major in business since I thought I could help Tony with Stark Industries... But he told me to just enjoy life and not worry about school. It was both good and bad since I am terrible at school but I like to learn.

"You think to little of yourself." Logan said softly.

"Says the one who think I'm the only one who likes them." I pointed out the past conversation topic.

Logan smiled softly and looked down at his feet. "I'm thinking about leaving." He put his hands in his pockets.

I frowned. "Where to?"

He looked back up. "Somewhere far away. I would have done it long ago but I found something to keep me here for a bit longer." His eyes seemed to have locked into mine.

"Oh." I looked at my muffin. "I guess if you no longer have a reason to stay then maybe we could stay in contact when you leave." The words flowed out sadly as my fiddling hand unwrapped the muffin in a messy way.

"Elisa." Logan put his hand on my shoulder and stopped us. I looked at him. "Would you like me to stay?"

{Say yes! He's deliciously handsome and you like him.}

I looked at him softly. "I think you should do what your heart tells you to." Logan's smile softened. "But if you no longer have things to hold you here and you wish to go than you should. It's your life, I can't chose for you."

Logan raised a soft brow. "That's not what I asked, Elisa..." I frowned, his finger gently lifted my chin. "Would you like me to stay?"

I gulped. I could feel my cheeks heating up. "I mean you are the closest person to me other than Rebecca and I don't know what would happen to my life if you left. It would probably become boring and I would walk alone. I guess you could stay if you want. I have no say in w-."

Logan pressed his lips to mine, gently, the warmth shivered down my spine and my eyes closed. My fidgeting hand for once stilled and so did my mind. The feeling was like my mothers singing, my fathers hugs. I couldn't control my hand as it inched up to grab his tie and pull him closer. But before I could grab the tie Logan broke the kiss.

My eye's slowly opened to look deep into his. He cupped my cheek and looked softly into my eyes. "Elisa... Would you like me to stay?"

{If you don't say it then I will!!}

I nodded, Logan smiled. "Words, darling."

"Y-Yes."

Logan placed his lips back to mine, his hand went behind my neck and kept me close as if I was about to run away. His lips were warm and soft. I could feel the soft tickle of his mint breath beneath my nose.

Logan broke the kiss. "Would you do me the honors of courting me, Elisa?" His fingers fed through my hair, his lips teasing mine.

I smiled softly. "Courting... I knew you were an old soul." Logan smiled. I breathed out softly. My lips ached to be on his. "You don't know everything about me."

Logan inched back to see my face. "And you don't know everything about me." He ran his thumb across my cheek. "Will you?"

I searched his eyes as he searched mine. "What if I'm secretly a monster?"

{Elisa...}

"Then we can be monsters together." He said cheekily. I rolled my eyes. "I will love you no matter how monstrous you can be."

(Love?)"Love?" I questioned.

Logan stood up straighter. "I mean nothing with change my feelings for you." I nodded, he drew his hand back. "It is alright if you don't wish to cou-."

"No I do." I blurted out, Logan smiled. "I just. I- My mind is always jumbled and- You know how I am. I just... I just don't want to be a burden."

Logan sighed and brushed my hair behind my ear. "You are not a burden." I smiled softly. "Is it really your worry that I would think of you as a burden?"

I sighed. "Logan... My own brother stopped speaking to me without a reason why. My father was always busy with work." I looked to the ground and watched the toe of my shoe shove into the pebbles below. "I'm-I'm not saying they hated me or wished I was never born but... My whole life I've been ignored without a logical explanation other than I am a burden."

Logan raised my chin and caught my lips for a quick peck. "I will never think of you as a burden and I swear I won't abandon you without a very, very, good reason." I smiled, Logan smiled. "Well?"

I leaned up and gave him a peck. "Alright. But you have to forgive me if I accidentally forget you at some place."

Logan chuckled softly. "I will find you if that happens." I smiled and he kissed my lips, my arms wrapped around his neck.

Logan's arms wrapped around me in a way to press out bodies together as our lips pressed together more. I parted my lips and he took that as consent to start searching my mouth.

(Oh, my god. This is what I've been missing?)"Mmm." I hummed, Logan broke the kiss. "You know this is new right?"

"Yes." He smiled softly. "If it is to much just tell me."

"Alright." Logan kissed my lips once more before backing away and taking my hand in his. "Awe." I pouted.

Logan smiled. "We are in public, darling." He started to walk. I looked around at all the people and got a little uncomfortable. "No one was watching." He added softly.

I looked back to him then to the path in front of us. "Alright." I cuddled to his arm. "Where are we going?"

"Where would you like to go?"

"Mmm... Do you have work?" I looked up at him.

Logan looked at me. "I'm on call. But I'm sure I will be free for the remainder of the day."

I smiled. "How about I order pizza and we have a movie night?"

Logan smiled. "Alright." I smiled. .  .  . 

"Pizza's here!" I walked back into the living room with the pizza in my hands. "Did you find a movie you want to watch?" I put the pizza box on the kitchen counter.

Logan stood up from the couch. "I chose a musical if that is alright." He walked over to me.

I smiled. "I like musicals." I handed him a plate

Logan took it. "I was hoping you would." I smiled and took a piece and then went to the couch. "Do you live here alone?"

I sat down. "Yes." Logan walked over to me. "I lived in my family home but with just me and the maids it got... cold." He sat down next to me. "So my brother agreed to pay for this small apartment, and he gets the house." I took a bite of pizza.

Logan sat down next to me. "It must get lonely."

I shrugged. "I'm never really home anyways." I grabbed the remote. "If I bother you with my blabbering just tape my mouth closed."

Logan chuckled. "But I love your constant speech."

I rolled my eyes and played the movie. "Such a suck up." Logan smiled, I leaned back and we both ate and watched the musical.

And during the whole movie I talked or fiddled with his fingers until I fell asleep on his lap.

And he was never bothered once with my antics.
