Author's note: "For shmoo92 & archerybushidokid. I swear I set out to write Logan teasing Jackson about a certain something not nerdery-related but this happened instead."
.
""Jack?""
Jackson stops [poking] his hair, turns from the mirror. “Yea?”
“How do you knot these fucking things?” Logan holds out his tie like it was a venomous snake.
“Get over here an’ I’ll do it for you.”
Logan grumbles, trudges into the washroom.
“Want me to explain or just tie it?”
“Just tie the fucking noose, ay?”
“All those fundraisers and awards and you’ve never learned ….”
“’s'what we have Jamie for,” sniffs Logan. “Where’d you learn, anyway?”
“Used to work nine-to-five for a living. Had to wear ‘em sometimes.” Steps back to study his work. “There.”
Logan tugs at his collar. “’s tight.”
Jackson rolls his eyes. “It’s supposed to be that tight. Makes you look 'neat’ and 'professional.’”
Logan mimes gagging, pulls at the offending ornament again.
“You’re gonna wreck it if you keep fiddling with it.” Straightens the points of Logan’s collar again.
Logan smacks Jackson’s hand away, finger combs his hair more or less into shape. “You, uh, ever wanna go back to being boring?”
“Not really?” Jackson shrugs. “It sucked pretty hard.” Gives his hair a last check. “'course, I don’t want this to be my last job, either.”
“What’s that mean?”
“Means I hope we’re lucky enough to quit before they hafta have one 'a these for us.”
Logan grunts.
They retrieve freshly cleaned and pressed dress jackets from the closet, shrug them on.
Jackson buttons up, rolls his shoulders to settle the fabric.
Logan fumbles the buttons, scowls at them, tries again.
“Need your full eight hours t’ manage those, ay?”
Logan succeeds, growls, checks his reflection in the mirror on the back of the door.
His shoulders drop a fraction of an inch.
Jackson’s expression softens. “C'mon, let’s go. You know how monks are about being on time.”
Logan takes a deep breath and opens the door.
