“Sharmall!”
“A’Horo!”
Logan and Will Morgan shared a look as Finn and Percy did their usual crazy greeting, grabbing each other by the face and chattering nonsense. It didn’t matter that they were in a private room in a fancy restaurant in Boston- they would greet each other like that anywhere.
“How are you, Tremz?” Will greeted, drawing Logan in for a hug. “Summer treating you well?”
“Ouais, all good,” he replied.
Will’s eyes darted around the room. “Where’s your other half? Or, third I guess.”
Logan grinned and pulled out his phone. “Back in New Orleans visiting his mom and dad. Look, sent us a photo of the cove he likes when he was out on his boat.”
Will peered over Logan’s shoulder and let out a breath. “Damn. Damn, that’s gorgeous. You guys heading down?”
Logan nodded, a dreamy sort of smile on his face. “Oui, tomorrow. We fly out in the morning.”
“I know that face,” Percy interrupted. He took Logan by the shoulders. “That’s your ‘loverboy’ face. Were you talking about Finn?”
“Non, Leo. Was showing Will a picture of his cove down in Louisiana.”
Percy rolled his eyes good-naturedly. “Finn just showed me the same one. Saps, the both of you.”
Finn stuck out his tongue at Percy and wrapped an arm around Logan’s waist. “You’re just jealous.”
“Nuh-uh,” Percy whined. A love-sick smile broke out over his face. “I got a Cassie Baker.”
Will snorted. “No he does not.”
“Not yet. You just wait, William, you’ll see.”
Will whispered conspiratorially. “She still hasn’t agreed to go on a date yet.”
Percy narrowed his eyes. “We are going out as friends. I told you, just you wait, I’ll woo her.” He closed his eyes and smiled. “I’ll woo her, I promise.”
“Mon Dieu,” Logan said. “You’re so bad.”
“It’s Cassie Baker, Logan.”
“I know, Perce.”
“You’ve got a Finn and a Leo now!” Percy exclaimed. “You’re all set- it’s my turn to have a Cassie. Or for her to have me, I’m not picky.”
Finn laughed. “I think it’s a mutual thing.” He jerked his head to the bar. “Let’s go get a drink, ten. We’ll make the rounds.”
Logan was glad to have Finn by his side at events like this. Even more so now that they were together. Before, he and Finn had to do almost an equal amount of sharing about their lives, even if Finn was the one to break the ice with others. Now, their life was so intertwined that Logan didn’t need to say anything if he didn’t want to. He contributed the odd comment, but mostly let Finn take the lead with an arm wrapped around his waist. Finn didn’t let go of him at all, always a hand on him, as he caught up with their old teammates and shared bits of their adult lives.
Best of all, Logan thought, they now got to talk about Leo.
“Yeah, I don’t know either, Max,” Finn laughed. He was talking with Max and Nathaniel, two of their former teammates that had graduated the year before Finn. They were still roomates in a town in Massachussetts, working as teachers and high school coaches. “I asked his dad once, and he just said that they got lucky he had so many good players in the program at the time. Not much hockey in Louisiana.” Finn drew Logan in closer with a hand around his hip. “We’re pretty grateful, though.”
“I bet you are,” Max smiled. He had always had such a genuine smile, his eyes crinkling up at the corners. “You guys got any plans for the summer?”
“Well, we’re off to New Orleans tomorrow. Going to train there for a couple weeks, soak up the sun. Hot as hell, though, my God. You’d probably like it, actually.”
Nathaniel laughed. “He would. He still complains about the cold all winter, you wouldn’t believe.”
“Hey, I was raised in North Carolina. I was not prepared for the cold.”
Finn nodded eagerly and laughed. “Neither was Le. We brought him snowshoeing this past winter and he was not a fan.”
“I can imagine,” Max said.
They made their rounds in a similar fashion, discussing summer plans, sharing photos of their lives post-college. Some of their teammates were married, others had dogs, some were in grad school. It made Logan feel a little less out of place- hockey was love, and hockey was wonderful, but his life was so much more than that now. It felt good to tell people.
“And this was when we went to France last summer.” Finn was now talking with Will’s wife, Ray, about some of the food they had tried in their travels. She was a chef by trade, and was always curious. “Leo makes ratatouille all the time now, and the tuna there was to die for.”
Ray laughed. “You know, I don’t think I’ve heard how you two have been doing at all.”
“Quoi?” Logan asked, confused. It was some of the first he’d contributed to the conversation. “What do you mean?”
She smiled. “First we talk about vacation plans, and all you can talk about is New Orleans. Then we talk about food plans during the season, so I can get some ideas to help Will, and all I hear about is how good of a cook your Leo is- who I would very much like to meet officially, by the way. And even now, when I ask about the traditional cuisine you guys tried- because I’m trying to improve my French cooking repertoire for a client- all I hear about is how Leo recreated all the dishes at your house.”
Finn, for the first time all night, spluttered, blushing hard. “Well- we… sorry, sorry, we didn’t-”
Ray waved her hand. “It’s okay. He must be wonderful, if you talk about him like that.” She tilted her head. “Everyone deserves to have someone talk about them like that.” She laughed. “Or someones.”
“Well,” Logan said. “He’s- he is wonderful.” He shrugged. “C’est notre soleil.”
“What?” she asked.
“Sunshine,” Finn answered. He was still red, but smiling softly. “He’s our sunshine.”
“God,” Ray laughed. “You two are romantics. I wish Will talked about me like that.”
Logan smiled at her. “He does. All the time, he talks about you and your little Noah.”
She brightened. “Really?” Her eyes strayed somewhere over his shoulder, and Logan looked back to find her gazing at Will, who was laughing with the bartender. “Well, like I said. Everyone deserves someone like that.” She rapped her knuckles on the table they were standing beside. “Excuse me, boys. It was lovely to catch up.”
“Yeah,” Finn said. “Hey, we’ll meet for dinner next time we’re in the city, okay?”
Ray winked. “Count on it. And bring your sunshine, please.” She ran a hand down Logan’s shoulder and walked over and into Will’s waiting arms.
Logan watched them for a second fondly, then jumped a little as his phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and smiled up at Finn. “Soleil.”
“Oo,” Finn said eagerly. He kissed Logan’s forehead. “What’d he send? A sexy photo?”
Logan opened up their groupchat to find a picture of Leo driving his family boat, looking back over his shoulder to smile at the camera. He was laughing, sunglasses pushed up into his blonde curls in the dying evening light, tall and tan and so gorgeous that Logan’s heart just melted.
Mama insisted I send this to you, his message said. Went for an evening boat ride with her and dad. I love you, sweethearts, I hope you’re having fun at your party! Call me when you get to the hotel room. <3
Logan watched Finn’s unabashed smile creep over his face, the same one that he was sure he currently wore. Finn pushed a hand under Logan’s shirt, untucking it from his pants slightly to get at his warm skin. “Shit, he’s so gorgeous. We’re so lucky.”
“Ouais, we are,” Logan sighed. He leaned his head against Finn’s shoulder and leaned up to kiss his jaw. “I’m very lucky.”
Finn turned just enough to smile and kiss him softly. “Well, then, me, too.” He nudged their noses together. “I got you. I got you and some sunshine.”
“All the sunshine.”
“Yeah, all of it.” Finn sighed and looked at the photo again. “All of the sunshine.”
Logan laced their fingers together. “Want to go back and call him?”
Finn looked around the room and nodded. “I think we’ve done our rounds.” He ducked closer to kiss Logan a bit more firmly. “Time to say goodbye and have you both all to myself.”
“Ouais,” Logan laughed. “Ouais, let’s say goodbye.”
They said their goodbyes quickly and walked the few blocks back to the hotel they were renting. Immediately upon closing their room door behind them, they were unbuttoning their shirts and Finn clicked on Leo’s contact on their iPad, setting it against the pillows. Leo’s face, when he answered, was sun-kissed and happy, his smile enough to warm Logan through.
“Hi sweethearts,” he said. “Good party?”
“Ouais,” Logan answered. He looked to Finn’s lovestruck expression and knew he was thinking exactly the same thing. He turned back to Leo and smiled. “Ouais, soleil. But we missed our sunshine.” He settled himself more on top of the covers to get a full view of Leo’s sparkling blue eyes and white smile. “Allez,” he sighed happily. He was so, so in love. “We love you. We miss you and we love you so much. Now, tell us about your day.”
