[ That, of all things, has Logan delayed in his next move. He looks up at Jean-Paul with slightly furrowed brows, and though questions of all sorts crop up in his throat... ]
I just thought you were bored. [ He lets out a half-assed lie, instead. ]
[ Logan rifles through multiple responses, not sure which one would be most appropriate: If you did, I'd have passed out; no, I'm not looking at you; you're the one looking at me, asshole.
Instead, bluntly but not without its own fair share of awkward: ] I think I'm just happy you came.
[ As nonchalantly as Logan says it, the question itself is made in teasing.
Jean-Paul not thinking about his moves any more coupled with Logan's own lackadaisical style means the pieces are moving much quicker, and Logan feels a small swell of pride when Jean-Paul eats more than is eaten. ]

Yeah.
[ But he eats one of Jean-Paul's pieces for it. ]
no subject
[Not mad about the move - he gets one of Logan's in return.]

What? You're looking at me like I farted.

no subject
Good. I'm happy I came, too. You know, you're always welcome at my place in Laval if you're ever out there.
no subject
[ He laughs a bit, dipping his head in a small nod. ] But... yeah. Okay.
I'll pass by some time.
no subject
You might like it. It's not insanely fancy. And I don't bring a lot of guys there ever.

[ Finally, Logan moves his piece, only now realising he'd yet to. Embarrassing. ]
no subject
[He moves as well, capturing another piece.]
no subject
[ It fits him. Except Jean-Paul would always walk with confidence instead of shame, wouldn't he?
Logan thinks of a defence strategy that's only airtight enough to be broken through in two moves. ]
Sounds, uh. "Glamorous".
no subject
[He moves without thinking much about it.]
Gay men are practical, Logan. And I, as you know, don't like most people. Or trust them.

[It's amazing what happens if you get JP to stop trying to beat the world at everything.]
no subject
Huh. [ Okay. ] I like you too.

Well. I like you. You're a gruff, uncultured man but you're honest and oddly considerate.
And your french isn't the worst I've heard.
no subject
[ That's probably not the point, though, is it? Logan's brows furrow, lips pulling into the smallest frown. ]
...thanks. [ He'd say Jean-Paul has shit taste in friends, but that'd make him a hypocrite.
He still eats two of his pieces in a double jump, though. ]
's only 'cause I care about you.
no subject
[For once, he doesn't mind much.]
And I you.
END THREAD Y/N?
It's only at the end of the game, and the end of another glass of wine, that he says: ] Stay the night.
[ It's phrased as if Jean-Paul isn't allowed to say "no", but the tone is still a suggestion. ]
Y. they so cute
[The obvious answer for someone who couldn't be home in minutes, nevermind how far away it is. Which means that he wants to stay.
For reasons neither of them would care to elaborate on.]
