Clarity - A Jogan Drabble
In which Logan and Julian have been separated for a year due to several reasons that include Julianās work and Julian (and Logan) decides he canāt take it anymore.
Just as Logan was about to exit the press con, he heard it.
āLogan,ā Julian whispered into the microphone.
The actor cleared his throat and said, more firmly, āLogan.ā
Logan turned around and looked up at the stage.
Julianās eyes frantically searched the crowd, all the years of actor training heād received failing him as he desperately looked for the blond, his emotions out in the open for the whole crowd ā the whole world ā to see.
āIt 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 didnāt matter ā 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.ā
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.
āI donāt care what they say. Mom, dad, my management, my co-stars, the damn Academy, youāre all I want. The past year didnāt change that, and it never will. SoāāJulianās voice broke. He was really crying now. "āso if youāre 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.ā He said the last part in one breath, earning a few chuckles from the spectators.Ā
Moments passed with no event, and Julian let out a strangled, heart-wrenching sob.
He closed his eyes. āLogan, please.ā
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.
āYou donāt know how long Iāve wanted to hear you say that, Jules.ā Logan whispered into his ear, arms wrapping around his waist.
Julian let out a choked sob of relief and turned around in the otherās arms, engulfing the blond in a bone-crushing hug.
He buried his face into Loganās chest and Logan rested his chin on top of the actorās head, hugging him back just as tightly.
