Hey There Delilah, a Sander Sides AU

Hey yall so i have an AU based on the extremely logince-y (imo) song Hey There Delilah

(I wanted to make an animatic but i have not the skill nor time so lol here we are)

Roman and Logan are together (yay logince) and Roman is an aspiring rockstar and trying really hard to get big, and Logan has to go away across the country (like in the song lol) to go study so they living that long distance life

And they both get p lonely. I reckon Patton lives on Roman's end and maybe Virgil studies at the same school as Logan. Id like Emile, Remy and Deceit (with like a normal name like Declan or something idk) in the mix somewhere too.

Now Roman's waiting til he hits it big to reveal he's gay to mainstream media, bc then he can go BAM FUCK YA HETERONORMATIVITY and do good things for representation (yay) so he writes songs about Logan but his codename for his bf is Delilah

it’s relevant somehow. like maybe Logan wants to be a writer and his main character is named Delilah?? Or Delilah is his favourite flower?? idk but eitherway the name Delilah is very personal to him and so Roman using it is like a reassurance

Bc watching this whole thing from afar it’s really beginning to get to Logan that this whole shtick Roman’s putting on does actually mean he’s not/no longer interested in him.

but i want this song to premiere at a concert Roman does. All their friends, Patton and Virgil etc (who are in a private box so they have a great view of the stage) could make it... but Logan can’t. And so Virgil livestreams it to Logan on his phone so Logan’s sitting on the balcony of his apartment with his laptop open and it’s v cold and maybe snowing lightly but he’s watching his bf and god he’s so proud of him.

And then Roman steps forward into a spotlight with only an acoustic guitar, his backing band steps offstage, and his eyes scan the crowd but somehow he ends up looking straight at Logan through Virgil’s phone

and he says ‘this next one is a new song i’ve written... for someone very special in my life.’ and the whole crowd cheers and Roman smiles and says softly into the microphone ‘Delilah, you know who you are.’

And Logan’s heart stops as he begins to play and sing

and even the crowd goes quiet. someone pulls out a phone and turns the flashlight on and does the swaying thing. soon everyone is doing it. Virgil does a panning shot across the crowd so Logan can see this crowd that’s for him and Roman and gdi he’s crying so much this dramatic nerd is his bf and if Roman could see what he’s reduced him to he’d never let it go omg

there are so many lines that i think are perfect for logince tho

‘hey there delilah, i know times are getting hard but just believe me girl, some day i’ll pay the bills with this guitar’

‘a thousand miles seems pretty far but they’ve got planes and trains and cars, i’d walk to you if i had no other way’

etc

and yeah it’s a smash hit

Logan hears it all the time on the radio and he loves it

there’s a music video produced, and it’s Roman in the recording studio, Roman with his producer and friends (like Patton’s there and he’s just being cute) but it also has Roman sitting facing the camera and just smiling and being there it’s p intimate

and Logan knows it’s for him. he’ll watch it and brush his fingers against the screen and it’s the closest he’s felt to Roman in months

and so Roman flies to meet him at the end of the year and Logan’s waiting at the airport anxiously and Roman walks up to him and the first words he says are ‘hey there, Delilah’

‘you fkin nerd,’ and Logan just throws his arms around him and iT”S REALLY CUTE OK

and when, a bunch of time later, maybe Logan’s finished school by this point, Roman’s finally made it big and is invited on a chat show (maybe something like Ellen bc i love her tbh) and he gets asked who Delilah is, he holds out his hand and invites Logan on stage and when Logan gets there he’s like ‘hey there delilah’ again because now that’s an injoke with them and he kisses him on NATIONAL TV and now heteronormativity is out the window well done Roman has defeated the straights™ and the host is extremely supportive and just ajswlgojdghwihbskj

happy ending
