Chapter Text
Who had thought that the Wolverine was actually a gentleman, when he wasn’t an asshole?
Because living together with Logan was way differently than Wade had imagined it to be. When he had offered his new friend a place to stay after their epic battle for his universe, he hadn’t thought about it to turn out all domestic like that.
It was actually way better, way easier, way more uncomplicated and way smoother than he had expected it to be. First of all, Wade had never thought that Logan would even agree to come home with him. But he had, to his surprise.
By now, Wade was even teasingly calling Logan his hairy housewife. Because the Wolverine’s caring behavior lately just gave him another welcoming opportunity to annoy the shit out of him. And since Deadpool took every opportunity to tease his Wolvie with pleasure, he also took this one. Of course, he did.
Never would Wade miss out on an opportunity to get on his friend’s nerves, to get under his skin or to push his buttons, even though something also told him that Logan actually secretly loved it and the attention he got from Wade. Or at least he didn’t mind it that much anymore.
The Wolverine loved it when he called him affectionately his hairy (sometimes also sexy, if Logan was in the mood for it) housewife and he also seemed to love the new task, Logan had given himself, even though Wade was making fun of him and his caring housewife being.
Because Logan did not only keep their apartment cleaned and tidied up, he also took care of their laundry – even also of Wade’s bloody suit and dirty Hello Kitty boxers. To see the Wolverine iron his shirts was really another sight. A sight Wade had never thought he would get to see in this life. Or any other life.
But Logan wasn’t done with that, since he did also cook for him. And to his surprise, it did even taste fucking delicious. Wade really didn’t remember when he had come home from work to a self-cooked dinner the last time.
Who had thought that the Wolverine wasn’t only a gentleman but also a decent housewife and cook? Seriously, Logan was spoiling him with those meals of his. Wade was sure about that he had already gained some weight since he had moved in and with getting spoiled like that.
But sadly, the older one also forced him to eat vegetables, always making sure that he did really swallow them. Logan even insisted on it. It was fucking annoying. At least he always got some sweets for dessert with eating up all these way too healthy and disgusting vegetables.
Logan also made sure that Wade got enough sleep, forcing him to call it a day when his body obviously needed the rest, but he was too childish to go to bed and give his body the well-deserved sleep. Never admitting that he was actually tired indeed, just because it wasn’t that late yet, only to fall asleep within minutes.
Logan also kept him warm with getting him blankets while they watched TV, pulled the covers up to his shoulders in the mornings when the Wolverine was up first and gained him some more minutes of sleep.
Or when Wade had been freezing outside once and Logan had given him his own jacket, even though he had told him to take his own jacket with him when they had left, but like the child he was, Wade had refused to listen.
Logan also went shopping, even though Wade had more than just once told him that he didn’t need to do any of these, since he was his guest. And besides, he also still owed him something for helping him to save his universe.
But the Wolverine always waved it off and countered that it was the least he could do, since he was allowed to stay at his and Al’s place.
Logan once even suggested finding himself a job as well, to earn even more money than just the one they got from their missions every once in a while. Even though Wade was actually sure about that Logan only followed him to those merc jobs to make sure he wasn’t getting himself into even more trouble than being good for him.
But Wade always told Logan that it wasn’t necessary for him to also get another job, since he could handle it on his own.
Before their first week of living together was even over, blind Al had already announced to Wade that she will keep Logan, no matter what his intentions were.
When push came to shove, she would even choose the Wolverine over him - hell she would probably even choose Dogpool over him - since Logan was very kind and courteous to her. Also always calling her by her actual name, never blind Al, like the fucking gentleman he was. The two of them did even fucking gang up on him, this traitor.
Logan did not only spend much time with the older lady together, he did also build up new IKEA furniture for her or repaired things in their shared apartment. He also went for a walk with blind Al together or for some coffee.
Sometimes, they also watched some old sitcoms together. Logan also always fucking pushed the chair in after her, kept their shit off the floor, so Al won’t tip over them and once he even joined her by her old lady bingo.
Of course, Al had fallen for him. But Wade couldn’t blame her, since he had fallen for Logan himself as well. He didn’t know when exactly it had happened, but if he was serious to himself, he knew it had been the moment they had met, even though he hadn’t been aware about that back then.
Well, he actually always had a thing for the Wolverine. But for this Wolverine, the best Wolverine in his eyes, he had fallen for the most. This Logan was his favorite, his personal hero. This Logan was his Logan.
Wade had fallen hard and fast for him, but how couldn’t he? And that wasn’t even when Logan had been a gentleman to him. He had fallen for him when he had still been an asshole to him, why he couldn’t describe his feelings for him now that Logan was so sweet, so courteous and so gentle with him.
But since they had saved the universe together, something had changed between them. Their dynamic was different compared to the beginning. It felt like they knew each other on a deeper level since that.
Since Logan had been willing to sacrifice himself for Wade, because he meant that no one was waiting for him to return to anyway. No matter if he should survive or not.
Logan had been willing to die in Wade’s place to allow him to go back to his family. He had wanted him to go back to his people, but Wade also wanted Logan to be part of his family. He didn’t want to go back without him.
The moment Logan had held the pic of his family against his chest, right above his heart, Wade realized that Logan was actually already part of that photo as well. That he was already part of his family and therefore also someone worth sacrificing himself for. So Wade had done it.
Of course, he was still thrilled about that he hadn’t only been able to fight along with his hero, the man he had idolized since ages, to save his universe together with him, but also with fucking living together with him.
But since they did so, Wade had also realized that he had feelings, real deep fucking feelings for Logan, why he was trying to behave lately. He was scared of being too much or not enough at the same time.
He was scared of losing Logan, scared of him leaving too soon, even though Wade probably won’t ever be ready for that day. He just couldn’t live without him anymore, he just didn’t want to.
Wade finally stopped to tease Logan so much. He really tried to hold back to not shy him away and lose him. At least not so soon. He also didn’t address every sexual comment he made towards Logan anymore.
But also Logan was treating him differently compared to before. Nicer, he didn’t even shout at him anymore. Calmer and more patient, the Wolverine also even endured his jokes and teases, he just rolled his eyes at him anymore or grunted from time to time.
Happier, the older one was less grumpy, he even smiled more often. More sober, even though he still drank almost daily, but compared to the amount he had probably drank before, with being an alcoholic over the past years, it was still a win. Besides, Wade was aware about that his friend tried to do better for Laura.
But Logan was also somehow gentler, even sweet to him. His eyes had softened whenever he looked at him now. Like a real fucking gentleman Logan always opened the doors for him and never fucking let him pay for anything when they went out, no matter if it was for meals or for drinks at some bar.
The Wolverine also fucking complimented him. Not about his look-alike. Of course, not about that, since Wade had working eyes in his head and was aware about his appearance, but Logan still made him compliments and also fucking praised him whenever he cooked for him – no matter how awful it tasted - or after they had successfully finished one of their jobs.
There were also these little gestures that the Wolverine probably thought he didn’t notice, but still he appreciated them not any less. Like the fact that Logan was always closest to the street while they walked on the sidewalk, his hand protective right above his lower back when they crossed the street, so that he could always intervene if necessary.
He also bought him things, like a new Hello Kitty cup, sparkling, unicorn themed shower gel, his favorite sweets or a big stuffed animal, which had been way too expensive why Wade hadn’t bought it himself in the first place, but Logan had caught him looking at it longingly. Almost like the Wolverine enjoyed to please him.
Wade loved to please people, to make them laugh, but Logan managed to make him smile and be happy as well. It was great to be on the other end for once, he enjoyed it and the attention he received from him. A fucking lot even.
Sometimes, the Wolverine even picked him up from work to go together for dinner, or he visited him during his lunch breaks with Mary Poppins to bring him something to eat, since Logan already knew by now that Wade will most likely forget to eat otherwise.
From blind Al, Wade had got to know about that Logan had finally also found his soft spot for Mary Poppins, even though he still denied it in Wade’s presence.
They seemed to have bonded over their walks and Logan also even cooked the dog separate meals sometimes and once Wade had even caught the two of them taking a nap together on the couch. He did even count it as them cuddling together.
Yeah, even though Wade’s life was still far away from being perfect, Logan managed to make it more bearable, even enjoyable.
Oh yeah, also because there was one more thing. Because maybe the Wolverine also managed to make him forget about all his failures and how difficult his life was and maybe Logan also managed it to make him feel that happy, even cared for way for a few moments at least, because they were fuck buddies of some very weird kind.
They hadn’t put a label on what exactly they were, what they had. But Wade assumed that fuck buddies described it the best way.
It had all started in that Honda Odyssey. Of course, it had started there when they had both been full of anger, tension, high of adrenalin, being overall emotional in general and especially with being filled with sexual frustration. And maybe it had just been another attempt from Logan to shut him up, at least for a few minutes.
But it was exactly what they had both needed at that moment. To let off some stream, get rid of their pent-up frustrations and to reduce their testosterone level, which had helped. At least for some time.
The second time was the evening Logan had agreed to stay, after they had saved the fucking universe and the adrenalin was still rushing through their veins even hours later. Since then, they were regularly fucking. Still because of the same reasons. To get their heads off, for distraction and of course to also stop being constantly horny.
They did fuck because of those reasons, no more no less. Just fucking. No deep kisses, no tender touches, no foreplay and especially no aftercare. Just Logan’s dick in his hole.
And even though they were still doing the same as back then in the Honda Odyssey, it still felt somehow different to Wade. But he probably only imagined those changes, they were only in his head.
Mostly they did it right after a successful mission, with still being high on an adrenalin rush and also with their suits still on in some dark alley. And sometimes even right next to their enemy’s dead bodies.
(Hey, Logan’s crazy did match his own craziness, which sometimes even shocked Wade himself how similar they were when it came to it and that really meant something coming from his mouth with being used to much.)
Sometimes they also fucked when they were wasted and sometimes when they were just bored. Or that one evening Wade had come home after work to find Logan wearing a cooking apron for the first time.
Wearing only a cooking apron and some damn boxers, singing and humming to fucking Madonna. Who had thought that the Wolverine was actually a great singer as well? Later, while Wade was just taking care of the dirty dishes, he suddenly found Logan behind him. This time with really only the cooking apron on, since he had felt his eyes resting on his body earlier.
Of course, they never talked about it afterward. They just pretended like nothing had happened the moment Logan had pulled out of him. But like he had already said, something had changed since their session in the fucking Honda Odyssey.
The way Logan was touching him now felt differently, so much gentler, attentive and also almost caring compared to their first time. He was touching him in a different kind of way now, almost like he was afraid of breaking him, like he was made of glass.
He also always made sure that he was as comfortable as he could be wherever they had decided to make room for their desires. There was also always a caring hand steadying him, making sure he was alright.
And Logan always made sure that he came first and afterward he also always asked him if he was okay. The Wolverine did also linger a little longer around him after he had come, almost like he wanted to make sure he was really okay.
Still, it was only fucking what they did, but it felt damn good nonetheless to get treated like that. Almost like Wade was someone special to Logan and not just some hole he was allowed to fill whenever he felt like it.
Wade was aware about that he was an easy fuck for the Wolverine with just being there, available and willing. Those things they did, they didn’t mean anything. At least not for the older one. But it was also better that way. Besides, also Wade could always have what he wanted with Logan never refusing him.
Which was actually still a miracle to him, since Wade himself knew that he wasn’t the most desirable or attractive guy in the universe. Fuck, he was actually damn ugly. And besides, he knew he also wasn’t the most pleasant person to be around. Why it was a mystery to him why Logan was still sticking around.
But it was like Logan did read him all his wishes from the eyes. No matter if it was Lasagne for dinner, the overpriced stuffed animal he actually didn’t need or when he asked him to fuck him harder. Logan just did it, like he always did whenever Wade asked him for something. No matter what.
It still didn’t want to get inside his head how Logan got even hard what that disgusting face of his and why the Wolverine always came back to him, even though he could actually have anyone he wanted. Maybe he only did so because he had compassion or even pity for Wade. Maybe it was some weird kind of special kick for Logan to sleep with someone as ugly as him.
Wade had to watch it with his own eyes whenever they were at a bar and almost every woman did stare at his friend, taking his clothes off with just their hungry eyes like the delicious eye candy the older one was. They also even shamelessly flirted with him and tried to talk him into spending the night with them, not even hiding that they were interested in him.
Wade almost felt flustered, because his friend always refused their promising offers, just to fuck him in some dark corner outside the bar minutes later. In the end, Logan still always preferred him over everyone else and it just didn’t want to get inside Wade’s head why the Wolverine did so.
Maybe because it was just the easiest way to do it. To just satisfy his needs without putting much effort into it or an awkward next morning. Maybe Logan was just lazy.
It made Wade sad that it was only getting laid for Logan, while it was so much more for him. But he was addicted to the body contact with being fucking touch starved, for the Wolverine’s attention and him taking care of him like that.
So he was fine with it by the end of the day. It was alright how it was, Wade won’t complain about it though.
But for Wade, it was only a matter of time until his friend will realize that there was someone way better out there for him than the disgusting, mouthy merc he was. It was only a matter of time until Logan will leave him and Wade will be alone again.
But that was alright, since it always ended like that for him. He will just enjoy their time together as long as it will last. Sooner or later, it will be over again. Wade had already given up a long time ago, because he knew he stood no chance to anyone. That day will come when Logan will leave him for good. It was just a matter of time anymore.
Blind Al had almost caught them one night, when Logan had pushed him over the back of the couch. They had both expected her to already be asleep, when she suddenly stood right next to them.
Wade was actually sure about that she had been exactly aware about what was going on with her hearing like a bat and smelling like a drug detection dog, but instead of saying anything about them fucking in her living room, she only asked if it was him and when Wade hummed in confirmation, she just wished him good night, before she left to her room again.
Logan had also fucked him all nicely to let him forget about his worries, at least for some minutes, in the night after the Wolverine had got to meet his friends for the first time and Wade had finally realized that it was really over with Vanessa. Definitive.
He could tell that Logan had been kind of nervous about meeting his friends for the first time and the girl, Wade had actually saved the universe for. Maybe also because of those things he had said about Vanessa in the Honda Odyssey to him, feeling bad about it now.
Wade was somehow relieved to see Logan, his new friend, getting along so well with his other friends. He had even seen him and Vanessa talking to each other at one point during the evening.
Later, the Wolverine had told him how nice his friends were, how nice it had been of them to welcome him all warmly like that and he had also apologized about those nasty things he had said to him about Vanessa.
Wade could tell that Logan was honestly sorry about it, regretting those words from back then, maybe also because he wanted to get along with his girl with now counting to Wade’s friends as well.
But the point was that Vanessa wasn’t his girl anymore. She actually hadn’t been so already for a while, even before he had saved the universe for her.
Wade had actually been aware about that even before this evening, maybe even before Logan and he had gone on that mission.
But his friend’s encouragement earlier this evening to fix things with Vanessa had still been sweet of him, when Logan had pushed him to finally talk to her. He had even taken Mary Poppins from his lap to have better access to do so or something like that.
Wade knew that Logan had only meant it well, that he had just tried to help and he also really appreciated his effort, but it was already way too late for that.
When the Wolverine had asked him about how things had turned out between Vanessa and him later that evening after everyone was gone, Wade just sighted and answered with a heavy heart
“We broke up. For real this time.”
“What?”
Logan seemed like he couldn’t believe what he heard with blinking confused at him.
“Actually, we have already done so months ago, since she does already see someone else, but.. I think I have finally got it now.”
He could feel Logan staring at him in disbelief, since his friend had seen his flashback while they had been holding hands to Madonna when they had thought to die with sacrificing themselves. Logan was aware about how bad his friend had wanted Vanessa back.
“She wasn’t impressed about you saving the universe for her?”
Wade had to smile to himself with hearing so, slightly shaking his head about his own stupidity to have really thought to fix things between them with it.
“I haven’t saved the universe just for her, you know. I have also done it to save my friends as well.” Wade corrected. “Besides, I haven’t told her anything about it.”
“What? But why? Don’t you think that would have changed things between the two of you?”
Wade shook his head firmer this time.
“No. I know Vanessa, it wouldn’t have impressed her. Not Vanessa. She is different. Such things don’t matter to her.”
He could see Logan nodding his head from the corner of his eyes, even though he knew he wasn’t able to understand.
“So, what are you gonna do now? Just give up?”
Wade just shrugged his shoulders in return, since he didn’t know himself what to do now.
“I’m sorry, bub.”
Wade could tell Logan meant it in all honesty, when he then also laid his hand on top of his shoulder and gave it a comforting squeeze.
“It’s okay.” Even though they both knew it wasn’t. At least not now. “You know, that’s why I have wanted to sacrifice myself. Because already before, I have been aware about that Vanessa doesn’t want me back.”
Wade could still remember the fear he had felt in that moment with sacrificing himself, even though he had done it for the ones he cared for the most.
But he also remembered about how relieved he had been about not having to die alone, when Logan had suddenly taken his hand and he had returned his grip without even looking.
But also how angry he was with him (before he had seen those goddamn delicious abs of his) for not staying behind like he had told him to do. About that the Wolverine had seriously been willing to die along with him, something he hadn’t wanted for him.
After they had fucking survived that shit, Wade had felt so damn happy and relieved about still being alive that he had best wanted to kiss his new friend.
Instead, he had gone for a hug, which the Wolverine had even returned for one quick moment, before he had pushed him away all harshly and had shouted into his face to never do some shit like that ever again. Wade knew that he was referring to sacrificing himself and not to the hug.
That had actually been the last time Logan had raised his voice at him and something told Wade that he had actually only done so, because he had been seriously worried about him and his well-being.
Later that night, after finally breaking up with Vanessa, Wade couldn’t find any rest with still repeating those happy moments they had together over and over inside his head, but especially also those many nasty fights they had in the last months of their relationship. After hours of rolling from one side of his bed to the other, Wade finally got up and found Logan still lying awake on the couch as well.
He actually didn’t know why exactly he had sought out the older ones near, but he just didn’t want to be alone in that moment. And it seemed like Logan was able to sense his longing for distraction and near, why he had fucked him against the dining table that night all nicely to finally stop those pictures and silent Vanessa’s voice inside his head.
At least for some minutes and to let him feel something else than being just a failure.
