Clarity - A Jogan Drabble
In which Logan and Julian have been separated for a year due to several reasons that include Julian’s work and Julian (and Logan) decides he can’t take it anymore.
Just as Logan was about to exit the press con, he heard it.
"Logan," Julian whispered into the microphone.
Logan froze.
The actor cleared his throat and said, more firmly, "Logan."
Logan turned around and looked up at the stage.
Julian's eyes frantically searched the crowd, all the years of actor training he'd received failing him as he desperately looked for the blond, his emotions out in the open for the whole crowd — the whole world — to see.
"It was always clear to me, since the day I met you that I would want nobody else. I was fourteen years old, I was young, but it didn't matter — I loved you, and I still do. I know what I said, but the truth is I lied, I love you, Logan, and I never stopped."
Julian took in a shaky breath, blinking back tears. Damn it, where is he? The crowd had gone quiet now, the cameras silently recording his heart-felt speech.
"I don't care what they say. Mom, dad, my management, my co-stars, the damn Academy, you're all I want. The past year didn't change that, and it never will. So—“Julian’s voice broke. He was really crying now. "—so if you're willing to forgive me, even just a bit, please show yourself because I feel like my eyeballs are going to fall out from looking for you too much." He said the last part in one breath, earning a few chuckles from the spectators.
Moments passed with no event, and Julian let out a strangled, heart-wrenching sob.
He closed his eyes. "Logan, please."
The crowd started to cheer, all eyes fixed behind him, and he heard Derek let out a breathless laugh.
Suddenly, Julian felt a familiar weight pressed behind him.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to hear you say that, Jules." Logan whispered into his ear, arms wrapping around his waist.
Julian let out a choked sob of relief and turned around in the other's arms, engulfing the blond in a bone-crushing hug.
He buried his face into Logan's chest and Logan rested his chin on top of the actor's head, hugging him back just as tightly.
