But like they'd be so great together. They'd be perfect, but not like "perfect" in the sense that nothing ever goes wrong.

But perfect because when shit goes wrong they love each other enough to fix it.

Because when Julian gets angry enough to storm out of the apartment and stay with Clark for a few days

Logan waits patiently on the couch for the right moment to call or for Julian to come back so he can say he's sorry

Maybe not sorry because he was wrong, but sorry because things got out of hand, and sorry that he doesn't know how to take cues and back off

And Julian would apologize too. Because their fuck ups are a two-way street.

Usually.

But then they'd try to calmly talk about what the fuck went wrong this time.

AND NO IT'S NOT A STORYBOOK ROMANCE, BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE IT'S REAL.

Also hot sex.

Like

both kinds of hot

Really rough, fuck-I-need-you-now, fuck-me-through-the-mattress

And also the slow, almost, but not quite gentle lovemaking, though they never really call it that because that's not them.

Not them at all.
