Okay, sort of short fic/prompt/someone can (please) write a long form version of this, for a Leogan fic with Marcus and Taylor being friends.

Edit- Inspired by @platonictaycus ; forgot to put that before, but yeah

"Taylor's seemed really happy lately," Logan said, startling Leo.

Leo wasn't staring at his friend and his enemy. He wasn't.

How could you blame him?! It was his best friend and his first ever enemy. Well, first ever enemy that was real. Life or death. Not just about the cyan crayon in the community tub.

"I think it's nice for her to have her own friend," Logan said, knowing that Leo heard him but wouldn't respond.

"But does it have to be Marcus?"

"You, uh... aren't jealous are you?" Logan asked. It wasn't teasing. It sounded nervous.

"What, of Marcus?" Leo asked, turning around. "No, no way. Not of Taylor either, for the record." He sighed. "I'm just worried about her getting hurt. Marcus broke my siblings hearts. He was their first real friend. I don't want Taylor to have to go through that." By the end of the sentence, Leo was staring down at his hands, picking at his nails.

"Hey, Leo," Logan said. His voice was gentle. When wasn't it. He tilted Leo's head up to look at him, to make sure he was listening. "Taylor is strong. She's tough. If Marcus tries to hurt her, she'll fight back. If Marcus abandons her, she'll be stronger for it." Logan crossed his arms, not sure what else to do, but trying not to touch Leo. He didn't want to make him uncomfortable. "She's been through a lot. She deserves an opportunity to bond with someone who's gone through something similar. And Marcus does too."

"But he's evil-"

"I know what you think, Leo," Logan said. "But you haven't even spoken to him since he's arrived. I think that if you really care about Taylor, you should hear him out. It would mean a lot to her. To both of us. I've talked to Marcus, he's... he's broken. He wants another chance. Trust me."

When Leo looked back down in doubt, Logan pulled out all the stops. He uncrossed his arms and took Leo's hand.

It was terrifying for him. He'd wanted to do this since the day they met. But it was for a good cause.

The contact jerked Leo's head up.

"Please. For me?" He pleaded.

Leo sighed and looked over at Marcus.

"Come with me?"

Logan smiled. He'd won. He'd won Marcus a chance.

"Of course."

They began walking over, and when Logan nervously went to pull away, Leo just tightened his grip.

He'd won more than just a chance for Marcus.
