08: Mind Control

Cassandra Nova's ability can be both scary and aesthetic~

( finally, he finds his voice again, after, what, 30 seconds of silence? might be a record. )

where do you wanna go, then?

.... can i come?

( if a job is driving distance, he'll gladly pull an all nighter to get it done and get back home.

that being said, last night was a sudden reminder of what it feels like to hug a pillow now that who you actually want isn't there. he'd fallen asleep eventually, but didn't do it well. )

( the brief moment when Logan finally meets his gaze lets him relax.

even if Logan almost immediately looks away, it eases some of the nerves, the tension Wade had felt since he'd woken up without Logan next to him this morning— no, last night. Wade doesn't tend to sleep when he's away. )

" me too, Gab-Gab. " Deadpool beeps quietly, hand on him, staring into the distance absently at the thought. " i think it is. i just have to make sure he stays home, and all. " part of him thinks Logan might run off.

won't even open my mouth unless you tell me. i care about you, and i want you around. Gabby fucking loves you.

i dunno if we make you feel it, but you deserve happiness just as much as anybody else.

( Wade stops him from turning to leave with a firm hand to Logan's shoulder. if it weren't for all the food in Logan's hands, he might even risk a hug— even if it got him impaled or hacked to pieces. )

this isn't about yesterday, is it?

just talk to me, please. i'll listen. i swear.

" i know i JUST said you couldn't, yesterday— but, this might do him some good. "

" it's... " a sigh. Logan misinterpreted his words, and it had affected how he interacted with Gabby— that, to say, not at all— convinced he's such a toxic influence he should just stay away.

" he's not mad at you. he's mad at himself, and me. thinks he should be alone. " Wade manages.

biting his bottom lip, trying to think of how best to answer— how she might understand.

" he's.. i think i accidentally hurt his feelings, Gabby. i'm working on it. but i'll let him know you called to check on him, and to call you back. that might mean something to him. "

picking up third ring— lnly because he hesitated. deep breath.

" heya, Gab-Gab! how did you sleep? "

( Wade scoffs; scarred brow furrows, jaw clenches, ears go red. )

you really can't fucking stand to seriously hear me out on anything, can you? i can literally only be a nuisance, clown, or a warm body for you— you can't stand the idea that from time to time, i KNOW what i'm talking about.

( not taking the cracker pack, but holding onto it to keep Logan there with him. in more ways than one. )

now, hold on-- i didn't say all that! she loves you, and i.. ( oh. )

i just want you to think about her needs as a kid a little more.

that's all.

( walking up beside him, fingers drumming anxiously on the countertop. it's a risky move on a sleepless Logan, but worth a try. )

is this about yesterday? with Gabby? look, if i hurt your feelings, you can tell me how— i'd probably even apologize for it, y'know.

( frown. it's gotta be like that, huh? )

... alrighty, then. you— you never had to stay on the couch, y'know.

Hey, morning, @knuckleknived.bsky.social—
how'd you sleep?

newsflash!! funny guys get serious every once in a while!!!

nobody takes me seriously when i'm serious. always "yeah, whatever, Wade."

hell, if you make a mistake? you can correct yourself and move on. THAT easy.

that's a part of it, Logan. watching your language around her is like, the easiest, quickest change you can make.

( following swiftly. )

THIS IS CRAZY?? WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT BULLSHIT??

but she does. a lot. she cares about you — and you could bother to match the effort.

DUDE.

( smacking him BACK upside the head. )

THATS THE CORNIEST, MOST OVERUSED ADVICE I'VE EVER HEARD!

she can swim, right?

and what the hell do 𝙮𝙤𝙪 know?
you barely pay her any attention.

she worries about you, y'know. way more than you worry about her, from the fucking looks of it.
