Christmas had been lovely, though a bit awkward with Aaron there, then he and Spencer leaving together so early. It had left Hex with Assassin's Creed which was just as Logan had said what with the face glitching. He'd had a good laugh and then gone to bed. And Boxing Day he'd gotten up and gone to work like always. But when he'd gotten off he indulged in what he'd been thinking of all day. He got to work and made up a steamed pudding- cranberry orange as promised with a sweet orange sauce and he'd called Logan. Armed with the treat he'd gone to the Ritz and found the penthouse suite.
"Do you even have Boxing Day in America?" he asked when Logan opened the door- instead of hello. "I brought you a steamed pudding and it's still warm since I took a cab. Come on, let's eat."

no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 05:48 am (UTC)"Oh, how kind but no. I'm in recovery," he said, knowing most people needed that bit of explanation when he refused their generosity.

Date: 2014-12-25 05:59 am (UTC)"Gladly, cheers," he smiled as he set the pudding on the table and began to open the box to take out the bowl that was wrapped in a towel to keep it warm. As soon as he had it undone the room was perfumed with the sweet scent.
"Did you hear from Gia? Is she coming to London for New Years?" he asked.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 06:06 am (UTC)He pulled out a juice for Hex and a beer for himself, hoping the man wouldn't mind, then flopped down on the couch.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 06:28 am (UTC)"Oh my god that would drive me mad," Hex chuckled. "I like to have plans in place, well in advance, too. I've already told the party planners I'll have a plus one for New Year's Eve. If not you then I'll think of someone else who might like to come."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 06:36 am (UTC)"You sure your boyfriend wont warm to the idea?" Logan asked. "I mean, it's just a party. He could suck it up and go."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 06:45 am (UTC)Hex was quiet for a moment, focusing on his juice most intently for no reason. Then he shrugged.
"He won't go. And I...I think he might be, erm, losing interest. He seems to be quite fond of his friend Aaron I've come to realize."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 06:58 am (UTC)"...Oh," Logan said awkwardly. "Well, uh- His loss, right? I mean- I dunno. Maybe he's just not ready to settle down or whatever. Or, I dunno... Whatever. I don't know the guy, I can't judge, but you seem like a good guy, Hex. If you don't end up with him, you'll find someone else, alright?"
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:01 am (UTC)"He's me first real...well, whatever it is. Boyfriend? I think I though it might be more than it was, but he was clear about not being ready to settle down so I've no one to blame but meself," he shrugged. "He's lovely, though. Really lovely."
It was so apparent Hex was truly smitten with Spencer and more than a little crushed that things seemed to be not working out.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:06 am (UTC)"Maybe that's the problem. You thought it was more than it was- It's easy to push too hard. To try and make people be what you want. ...You have to let it happen naturally, man- Or it never happens at all. ...But if you like him- If you want him? Don't give up. Seriously, just- try a new approach," Logan replied, sounding very much like the voice of experience.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:08 am (UTC)He really did sound like a voice of experience, so much so that Hex could only nod. Then he returned to the pudding to dish up a portion and drizzle it with orange sauce.
"I'm not sure if this pairs with beer. Maybe it will," he chuckled. "It's quite good. See if you like it."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:15 am (UTC)Logan took the offered treat, tasting it, then nodding his approval.
"It's really good- You made this? Like, you cooked it from scratch?"
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:16 am (UTC)"I did. I like to cook and I try not to eat processed foods," he said. "I'll eat it sometimes. but most often I cook everything from scratch."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:23 am (UTC)"A regular Rachael Ray, huh?" Logan laughed. "I never cook. It's always seemed like too much work, you know? So much easer to have someone else cook it for you."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:25 am (UTC)"I'll cook for you," he said, then smiled nervously and set about dishing up his own, praying Logan didn't take that as a come on, but rather the genuine offer it was meant as. It was only after he'd said it that Hex realized how flirtatious it sounded.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:37 am (UTC)Logan had a sharp reply waiting on his tongue- But he could see Hex was embarrassed, and that was enough to make him bite it back.
"Don't make offers like that, man- I'll have you chained up in my kitchen," he said instead.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:41 am (UTC)That only made him blush a bit more as he thought of chains in a way he was sure Logan didn't intend. But given Hex's tastes he couldn't help but think of chains in a certain way.
"Yeah, sure," he replied, trying to laugh it off. "What should we do tonight, mate? Games? Or a film? What do you fancy?"
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 07:51 am (UTC)"Whatever you want, man. I'm easy," he shrugged, putting his feet up as he took a swig of beer. "You were the one who wanted to hang- So you must have had something in mind."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 08:00 am (UTC)"I thought was could play a bit since you've got the console. I brought Call of Duty if you're interested," he said hopefully. He kind of wanted to get caught up in a bit of fantasy violence and forget about Spencer for the night.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 08:05 am (UTC)"Sounds good, let's do it," he grinned. "I bet I'll kick your ass though."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 08:10 am (UTC)"Hardly," he laughed. "All I do is work, keep fit, and play games. I'll kick yours back to America." He was teasing, of course. Hex ate his pudding, only half the amount he'd given Logan, and went to his coat pocket to pull out the game.
"I've got tomorrow off so I can stay up late tonight to play. So when you're ready for bed just toss me out, yeah?"
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 10:32 pm (UTC)"You can stay if you want," Logan shrugged. "It's not like there isn't room."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-25 10:40 pm (UTC)"Bang on," Hex grinned. "Yeah, this place is nice. I've never been in a suite before. I can see how they'd take care of you here. Laundry and food and such."
It was nothing Hex could even dream of.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-26 12:59 am (UTC)"Yeah, it's pretty good," Logan shrugged.
