I haven't been in Quebec in ages.

[ He laughs a bit, dipping his head in a small nod. ] But... yeah. Okay.

I'll pass by some time.

[speed_of_snark]

'Cause your French sucks. [He's not entirely serious.]

You might like it. It's not insanely fancy. And I don't bring a lot of guys there ever.

[danzan]

Careful. You might make me feel special.

[speed_of_snark]

Oh shut up, you know what I meant! I'm saying is not a den of sin.

[danzan]

I'll be the judge of that when I get there.

[ Finally, Logan moves his piece, only now realising he'd yet to. Embarrassing. ]

[speed_of_snark]

Pfft. I go to their places so I can just leave after.

[He moves as well, capturing another piece.]

[danzan]

So you're a walk of shame kinda guy.

[ 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".

[speed_of_snark]

I feel no shame.

[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.

[danzan]

But you like me?

[ 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. ]

[speed_of_snark]

Ouais. I do.

[It's amazing what happens if you get JP to stop trying to beat the world at everything.]

[danzan]

[ There goes his sentimental heart. ]

Huh. [ Okay. ] I like you too.

[speed_of_snark]

You thought I didn't?

[danzan]

It's just different hearing it out loud.

[speed_of_snark]

Oh.

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.

[danzan]

The fuck's "uncultured" mean?

[ 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.

[speed_of_snark]

It means you don't know the fancy cutlery and art and shit.

[For once, he doesn't mind much.]

And I you.

END THREAD Y/N?

[danzan]

[ Shit, he's smiling. And he's content to stay quiet for a long while after, because what the fuck does he even say after something like that?

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

[speed_of_snark]

Okay.

[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.]
