Who: Tess & Logan
When/Where: Tonight/Echolls poolhouse.
Why: Oh because it's about damn time.
Warnings: Possible smut. Definite schmoop. WIP.

Logan could have kicked himself for that damn stupid text. Me too. What a jackass. And he hadn't said it all the night of the the party, hadn't wanted Tess to think he said it just because of the amazing, mind-blowing, incredible sex. And then he fucked it up by texting her a lame ass ME TOO. So for that, tonight was gonna be incredible for Tess.

He taped a note to the front door of the house, had simply written POOL HOUSE on it and then, feeling incredibly cheesy and dopey, had drawn a big heart around it. Whatever. But he left it as is. In the pool house he put some music on, a bottle of champagne that he liberated from Aaron's stash left in his study, and a single red rose on the bed. Again with the cheese, but shit, Tess deserved it. Just for him being a jackass.

After making sure everything was just so, Logan grabbed the jewelry box, slipped it into his pocket and went out the pool. He was nervous, mainly because he wanted Tess to know the why behind him being an ass, which would mean bringing up Aaron and... shit. He had never really discussed that part of his life with her, and maybe he should have, since she was so impacted by it. He took a deep breath, and sat down at the pool's edge, dangling his feet into the water, and waited for Tess.

After having a reasonable fight with the person working the take out window on WHY mixing shrimp with the onion rings was bad (puffy boyfriend was never good), and finally getting an un-tainted bag of chicken fingers, rings, fries and honey mustard sauce, Tess finally got to drive the short distance over to Logan's. Got out of the car and at first almost got worried, seeing the note but walking up to look at it she smiled, shook her head. Oh, man that boy was something else. Shifted the bag in her hands and walked around to the back courtyard, saw Logan sitting by the pool.

"Hey sorry I took forever, apparently food allergies aren't as important as they used to be." Rolled her eyes playfully and walked over to kiss the top of his head, sat the bag down on the concrete and sat with him, but didn't put her feet in the water. "So we got chicken and fries and onion rings from Applebees, very bad for us but fuck it, we're growing and hungry and it's fast and tasty!"

[OOC: Sorry, annoying spelling errors and bits.]

Logan leaned over and kissed her cheek, cupped her chin so she would look at him for a moment. "Thanks for the food. You're really sweet to me." He didn't want to dump a real serious conversation on her right way, so he grabbed a bag and started rooting through it. Brought out the onion rings and set them on the concrete, found the fry sauce and ranch and started to eat. He watched Tess eat also, suddenly found the little crease between her eyes as she concentrated on the food adorable.

Logan set aside his food, leaned forward and grabbed Tess' wrist as she was about to pop a fry into her mouth. He shrugged sheepishly at the puzzled face she gave him. "Sorry. Um. You just are really... really cute." He let go of her wrist, and rubbed his face. Leaned forward and kissed her cheek again. "So. You know what I meant with the whole stupid Me too thing?"

Tess couldn't help but smiling softly at him, ate the fry in hand (couldn't resist their spicy goodness) and scooted over to kiss his cheek in return. "I long ago accepted that you loved yourself, baby, really, I'm not upset with you." She knew, had known since the party, but fuck if she didn't want to hear it if maybe, possibly he was gonna say it tonight. The note on the door, his demeanor. . .Oh man, oh man, her heart was beating really fast all of a sudden.

"And hey, gotta take care of ya, promised I would from now on." Since they'd had that horrible fight in the very spot outside the poolhouse, she cupped his cheek, stroked the bone with her thumb, leaned to gently kiss him, lips warm and slow on his.

Logan closed his eyes and gave himself over to the kiss, realized how much more he enjoyed Tess' kisses now that he... Oh, wait, he hadn't yet. He broke away from her, stroked her cheek softly. "I want you to understand... Yeah. It's shitty, but..." He took a deep breath. "Aaron told me every day that he loved me. And some days he'd hug me and rub my hair and I'd go off and do whatever. And other days he'd beat the tar out of me." He shrugged, raised his hand and touched her cheek again. "So the whole I love you thing didn't make sense to me."

He leaned in and kissed her again, cupped her chin. "Then I met you, and you kept saying it, and it finally, finally made sense. So. Tess. I love you back. I love you so much. And I mean it." She tasted like french fries. "I"m sorry I was a jackass for so long about it."

Tess' eyes pretty much instantly filled with tears and she swallowed, suddenly wanted to kill Aaron. She'd known, Dick had secretly told her once, and she'd noticed the scars during and after their lovemaking, no one deserved that. Least of all her Logan. She took his face in her hands and smiled warmly at him. "Don't you ever apologize for that, it was perfectly natural after what you've been through." Kissed him again.

"I know, okay? And it feels good to hear it, but I knew. And I love you too." Another softer kiss, fingers stroked his hair. "I believe you, baby, love you always. Be yours forever." Met his gaze, smiled, a thrilled, sweet smile, giggled softly under her breath.

"There's another really serious thing you need to know about me." He smiled back at her, stroked the hair away from her face. "Secretly I'm a complete cheese ball. And I -- I got you something. So you know that you're my girl, and that I love you." He took the ring box out of his hoodie pocket, opened it and showed it to her. Inside was a white gold promise ring, a simple band with a beveled heart engraved on it filled with diamond chips. Looking down at it Logan, who was sure he would be nervous, suddenly felt calm and sure about the decision he was making. Maybe this would prove to Henry he could be good for Tesla.

"This is until we can get married. I want you to go to Hearst, to find what makes you happy there, and when we're graduated I'm gonna marry you, Tesla Rose. That's what this ring is for. A promise that I'll always love you and take care of you." He took the ring out, held it between thumb and forefinger. "Will you wear it?"

Seeing the box she had gone pale with shock, seeing the ring, every tear that had built up in her eyes was expelled to stream down her cheeks and she sobbed softly at his words, not a painful or sad sob, but a jovial one. Wiped at her face, laughing softly. "God, yes. Better believe I'll wear it." Lifted a shaking hand for him to slip it on to, staring at it all the while. When some of the shock faded and the 'OMG's weren't quite as loud in her head she giggled loudly, leaned to kiss him deeply, lost herself in that moment for a good few minutes before breaking it.

"You. .you, God, I love you." Ran her hands through his hair just to sneak another look at it, pouted at him suddenly. "You really gonna make me wait four whole years to be your wife?" Chuckled softly, kissed him again. "I feel bad that I didn't get you something other than fried chicken and french fries, now!"

Logan buried his hands in the thick fall of her hair at the back of her neck, chuckled at her words. It was amazing how much he loved to make her happy, to see her face light up because of something he did. It was doubly amazing that he had pretty much his whole life to keep that glow on her face. "After all the shit I pulled on you since August, its the least I can do." He leaned in and kissed her, kissed her cheeks and the tears there. "And I'm serious about Hearst. No wedding until every last credit is done." He wasn't sure why that was important to him, just wanted to give her some breathing room, a place to fit in her studies or her career. Something her own. And God knew he still needed to figure out the college thing.

"C'mon, now." He stood, tugged her hand as he turned for the pool house. "It's that whole cheese ball thing. You're gonna get sick of it. Got more goodies in the pool house. Plus, I really wanna make love to you wearing that ring."

"Oh, you asshole." She laughed as he helped her stand. "Fine. You're gonna be mean so am I, no more sex. .after tonight, until we get married then." Yeah as if, kiddo. At his last words she shivered visibly, following him in. "You have no idea what hearing you say that does to me, boy." Boyfriend? Intended-but-not-quite fiance? Eh, boyfriend sounded better. Slid her arms around him and looked around when she stepped in, heard the music, saw the rose and the champagne.

She just smiled, turned her face up to kiss him slowly, a burning kiss. "Oh gosh you're cute, you know? I love you. Forever."
