Summary
He knew better than to coddle Logan as they made their way through the door to his apartment. Hesh's comment about texting before he left Logan's rang through his mind alongside the knowledge that there was a crease in Logan's bed that held the shape of his body before he'd gotten up that morning. Rather than figuring out how he was going to draft that text, Keegan grabbed some ice out of the freezer and a Ziploc bag on their way to the bathroom.
or
Logan gets into a mediocre bar fight, Hesh is catching onto them and Keegan is grappling with whatever seems to be between him and Logan.

Summary
Ever since Keegan's release from the Navy all anyone had wanted was for him to explain himself. Why he was leaving a nearly-spotless career in the Navy after "one bad mission," why he was recovering so slowly, why he refused to leave his apartment for weeks at a time, why he became so cold, why? But Logan sat there looking at him like his presence was enough, like if Keegan chose to never explain himself again, if the words didn't come, he would stay anyway. A fraction of the tension eased from the harsh line of Keegan's spine.

Summary
"It's good to know that traffic brings out the worst in you like it does the rest of us." Keegan chuckled, casting one more glance back at Logan, the light back in his eyes for the moment.
And that was a strike to the heart. Of course, Keegan had only said it in passing, like he really believed that cussing out an idiot in traffic was the worst of Logan, but there was a warmth to it that Logan wanted to hold onto like it could save him from the truth of what was really his worst.

Summary
Keegan had inserted himself in the conversation gently, casually, by mentioning that he and his mother didn’t really do the holidays, but he was headed back to Colorado and they were always glad for another body in the home. He hadn’t even looked up from the cup of coffee he was stirring far too much powdered creamer into, the look on his face a grimace at the way it clumped together to form an unappetizing island in the center of his disposable cup. David had paused, but Logan could tell he loved the idea just by the way he inhaled, his head tilting slightly. And that itch under Logan’s skin, the desire for change despite the way he’d clung to routine since he’d been discharged from the hospital, had compelled him to agree a week later.
or
Logan takes refuge in the Russ family home over the holidays and relearns how to let someone be gentle with him.
