Guys' Night Out (Logan with a guest appearance by Jo...who wasn't invited...hence GUYS night)
Jensen was feeling pretty thrashed emotionally after Fred left. It didn't help that she pretty much told him how much of an ass he was. He didn't need her to tell him that. He knew that already, but damn it he was allowed to be pissed off! And hurt. But you don't tell people you're hurt when you're a guy. No. What you do is you text message another guy that you were in a vulnerable place right now and wanted to do something stupid like go out and get drunk off of whiskey and hurricane shots in an effort to numb the ouchy parts, possibly get in a pointless and needless fight and he should come be supportive. That translates to:

Dude. Girls suck. Beers? Sent to Logan's phone. Logan, who responded in kind to something that translated into: I totally understand and sympathize, man. Why yes I would be happy to meet you for imbibing alcohol and support you in your hour of need for indulgance and school yard behaviour. Still won't bail you out of jail, though.

Logan had the night off and suggested another bar to go to, some place called The Roadhouse. Jensen had texted back saying if Patrick Swayze was going to be there to not be nice when it was time it was a no go. He was assured there would be no Swayze ass kicking so to the Roadhouse it was. He showed up with the mostly dead flowers and tossed them on the bar in front of Logan before sliding onto a barstool. "Here. Don't say I never gave you anything."

	"So you're worried that she's only changing for you?" Logan asked for clarification. "So instead, you broke up with her so she'll make the change for herself?" He took a drink of his beer. "Well, I suppose it depends on the addiction really. Was she on the stuff the whole time you two were together?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He frowned deeper, not really liking being judged there. "She says she wasn't, but because the guy hadn't been around." He took a very long drink of beer. "But I broke up with her because she didn't tell me about this shit, and she got pissed at me for getting pissed." He swept his arm out before him dramatically. "Gave me the whooooooole guilt trip about how she did this for me and I was acting like an ass."

	There was no judgment from Logan. Just information-gathering. Logan wasn't really the judgmental type of guy. He downed the last of his beer and frowned at Jensen. "I'm sorry, man." There wasn't really anything else to say at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He stared straight ahead at the bar top, his expression melting from frustration and anger into full out depression as he circled his beer glass with both hands. "Yeah." He'd like a lot more drinks now. The room wasn't spinning near enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Logan gestured to the blonde bartender who approached them again.

"Might want to just leave the bottle," he told her, slipping her a bill large enough to cover it.

Jo nodded and gave the apparently heartbroken a guy a sympathetic smile before she set the bottle of tequila between the two.

Once the bartender was out of sight again, Logan poured them both some more shots.

It was his way of offering support. He wasn't really good with feelings or words, but he was sure as hell good at offering ways to numb the pain.

	He barely acknowledged the poor bartender. Some day he'll remember and come back to give her a big tip for her efforts, but right now all he seemed capable of doing was glancing at Logan, nod in thanks for the bottle then grumble as he pushed his empty shot glass towards him. "Make sure I get home ok." (Reply to this) (Parent)
