Prompt: flashback- what actually happened when they were "out getting firewood"

Are you ready for more kissing? not super steamy and all, but it's gunna happen, more so on the cute and sweet side.
I did lay down hints of this when I wrote about that in the chapter.
The next chapter shouldn't have kissing in the prompt. If my list is right at least. So there's that.

This is also going to be on the shorter side.

Roman and Logan made their way through the woods away from the fire, in a slightly awkward silence.

"That was... informative." Logan said after a few minutes of silence.

"We're not letting him go back, right?" Roman said, not really acknowledging Logan's statement as he turned to look at him. "I mean, this is the first time he's been outside, do you realize how messed up that is? He's been locked away like some kind of -some kind of-of- exotic bird or something!" He said angrily. "So what if he has magic hair, no body would ever know if he just never did his little rhyme-ditty-thing, what with his hair black and not horribly long in an unusual way?" He continued. "What kind of sick greedy parent does that! If his father's been keeping him inside cause he's just that greedy than he's a freaking bastar-" Roman was cut of by a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Roman, breath for a second." Logan said softly as the two of them stopped walking. "I know it's... less than desirable, and I know that it's remotely alright, but think about it from Virgil's point of view," he began, "he's never been outside, everything is different and most likely terrifying in some cases,"

"But we could show him there's nothing to be afraid of!" Roman interrupted him, "we could help him!"

"And I want to, believe me I do, but we are basically strangers, maybe acquaintances, to him, he has no reason to trust or believe us, and if we tried to prevent him from going home he'd most likely panic and run right back to his father or somewhere else and end up getting hurt." Logan said as he gently cupped Romans chin, trying to think of what Patton would do."the best we can do for now is...is show him that yes there is nothing to be afraid of like you said, but we can't force him to stay out here. That tower is the only home he's ever known and we can't do that to him, no matter how wrong it is." Logan said.

Roman glared at nothing, a few tears pricking at the corners of his eyes as he let out an aggravated huff and crossed his arms.

"That's stupid." He huffed. "Really really fuc-" a soft mutter of language from Logan made him pout, "-freaking stupid." He said as he gently wrapped his arms around Logan's waist, leaning his face into the palm of Logan's hand at the same time.

"I know," Logan said, "but maybe we can convince him to not go home by showing him how much better the outside world is." He said. "I'm sure you and Patton would be really good at that."

"So would you Specs, with that smart brain of yours and all, you'd probably be able to explain everything to him." Roman said, before tilting his head to look up at him.

Logan blushed a little and smiled softly before gently moving his hand away and taking a step back, Romans arms slipping away from his waist as he did.

"I suggest that we go and actually find some firewood now." Logan said.

"You're probably right," Roman said, "there's not that much around here though." He said.

"Let's go a bit deeper in then? We should be able to find some eventually." Logan said.

The two of them went a bit deeper into the forest, holding hands now, each with faint blushed on their cheeks as they walked and gathered, each of them soon having some variously sized sticks bundled in their arms.

"Oh would you look at that," Logan said softly.

"What?" Roman asked, curious as he looked at him.

"There are some lightning bugs," Logan said as he set the wood he was holding down and pointed them out to Roman, who smiled.

Roman also put his wood down and stepped forward, towards the little glowing beetles."It's just like the last time you Patton and I went exploring the woods between heists," he said. "And one landed on his nose."

"I do recall," Logan said with a fond smile.

"He looked so cute when he went cross eyed and the glow from the beetle lit up His face and eyes." Roman said as he turned around to look at Logan.

"Do you remember what else happened that night?" He asked softly as he took a few steps forwards and gently wrapped his arms around Logan's waist, like he'd done earlier.

"I'm not certain if I do," Logan said teasingly as he gently draped his arms around Romans shoulders, "might you remind me?"

"Certainly," Roman said, before gently pressing Logan up against a nearby tree and kissing him softly.

Logan smiled and gently kissed him back, closing his eyes as he felt his face heat up and undoubtedly turn cherry red.

Roman pulled away after a few seconds, only to kiss him again after letting them both breath, capturing his lips in another sweet kiss.

They were so focused on each other and their kissing that the two of them didn't hear the sound of footsteps approaching, or notice when someone else leaned against a tree near them.

"Awe, you guys are so cute," Parton said with a bright grin from where he watched them, giggling as the two jerked apart in surprise, their soft blushes turning plum red from embarrassment.

"Patton!" Roman said in surprise. "What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I had come to check on you both since you were taking a while," he said as he took a few steps towards them. "But I can see why now," he said with a small laugh.

A small lightning bug flew over and landed on the top of Romans head, making Patton smile at him.

"Mind if I steal a kiss or two as well?" He asked as he reached up and carefully removed the bug, cupping it in his hands gently.

"Not at all," Roman said softly.

Patton smiled and watched the beetle fly away before gently cupping Romans cheeks in his hands instead.

He pressed a kiss to Romans forehead before moving down and pressing his lips to Romans, humming softly.

The two kissed sweetly for a few seconds before pulling away, Patton gently rubbing Romans cheek bones.

"Now it's your turn," Patton said as he turned to Logan, "if it's alright that is." He added.

Logan, still standing at the tree Roman had pressed him against earlier, nodded, "I will gladly except a few kisses from you." He said softly.

Patton smiled brightly at him and slowly pulled away from Roman, pressing another kiss to his forehead before walking the two steps over to Logan, gently pressing him against the tree like Roman had.

He captured Logan's lips in a sweet kiss after a second or so, listening to Logan hum as they both closed their eyes.

Patton could feel Logan relax, and couldn't help smiling into the kiss before pulling away slowly.

"We should probably head back to An-Virgil soon," Patton said. "After actually gathering some firewood that is."

"I mean, we did technically gather some," Roman said, gesturing to the two small piles of dry sticks they'd gathered, "but we got a little distracted." He admitted with a blush.

Patton laughed a little and smiled, "I can tell," he said as he pulled away from Logan. "This'll probably be fine for tonight, so let's just head back for now, I don't want to leave him alone for much longer." He said.

"That's a good plan, we don't want anything to happen while we're gone." Roman said as he and Logan both gathered up the sticks again.

"I doubt anything super bad could happen to him while we're gone." Patton said. "But I'd rather be safe than sorry." He said as the trio began to make their way back.

"Agreed." Logan said as they walked.

"I hope he's not scared of anything, he seemed nervous when I left." Patton said.

"He's probably fine."

Shortest chapter ever. But tada, here you go.
