Logan and Bash
"One or two, yeah, but couples are sometimes harder to convince," he said with a soft shrug. "If they get caught up in monogamy and stuff. But sometimes it's just a one time thing and it's fun and life goes on." Logan knew he was young, but he felt like he was experienced enough. It was amazing how broad his horizons had become after he got booted out of Point Pleasant. Now he was back and things were much more... restricted. "I'm sure you'll get used to all kinds of offers once you're in college. I hear it's all about experimenting and finding yourself. Not sure you can do a lot of that here."
Bash had never thought of monogamy as a bad thing, like some kind of downside to his relationship with Theo. Instead it brought him comfort, confidence that Theo wanted to be with him. A threesome might be fun, but he couldn’t help but worry that it might break something in their relationship. Was what they had really that fragile? He didn’t want to think so, but, at the same time, they’d never made any promises to each other. And though he hated to admit it, he still worried that one day Theo would decide he was done with him and move on. It was too much to think about at the moment, so he sipped at his drink and considered the future instead. “Last year all I could think about was getting out of here, going off to college, and finally getting a chance to be myself. Finally get laid. Now it doesn’t seem so critical. Don’t get me wrong, the experimentation would be fun. I think I’d be down for whatever now, but… not if I’ve got to give up what I’ve got, you know?”
Logan couldn't remember the last monogamous relationship he'd had. Jasper was probably the closest thing to that, but that had been different than what Sebastian was talking about. So he didn't really know, but he could understand what Bash was saying. A lot of people were just wired differently than he was. "Yeah, I get it. Always best to be on the same page with someone before, you know, jumping headfirst into things." And hell, he and Bash were still young. Relationships at this age hardly ever lasted, right? There was time for all the other shit later. But he also understood that sometimes things felt intense and overwhelming and he couldn't blame anyone for wanting to feel like it would always be that way.
“Yeah, we’ll see,” Bash smiled as he wondered what Theo might say to such an offer. Even if they didn’t take Logan up on it, it might be fun to fantasize about. That seemed harmless enough, though it would require Bash to actually talk about his fantasies. That would require quite a bit more booze. “You never get attached, do you?” he asked, taking a sip of his drink. He didn’t know Logan well, but it was something he’d noticed after watching him a bit. It was probably a good thing that Bash had hooked up with Theo when he did, otherwise he might’ve found himself attached to Logan. As much as he liked the guy, that seemed like a recipe for heartache.
It wasn't like it was the first time he'd been asked that question. People had asked and said similar things to him in the past, usually when he wasn't willing to commit to someone who wanted it. Usually he just shrugged it off and let people think whatever they wanted of him, but with Bash, he merely smiled. "I get attached," he said. "To my friends, mostly. The only other person I felt attached to in any other sort of way isn't really available and I'm okay with that." He eyed Bash and brought his cup back up to his lips. "Do you think you get attached too easily?"
Bash inhaled as he considered the question, then laughed on the exhale. “Yeah, one hundred percent,” he smiled. “I really tried not to with Theo, but obviously failed. It was even worse with Hunter. And Jules… I guess I know what you mean about being attached to friends.” He knew they’d never really been more than friends, but his feelings for her remained more than that. Not sexual or romantic, or even similar to Greg, who he was also fiercely attached to, but a jumbled mess that he’d never bothered to sort out and probably never would. “Makes me sound like a serial monogamist, but I swear I’m not.”
