Logic could feel himself drifting, as he lay in his bed with Joy’s back pressed firmly against his chest. His hand was positioned on her stomach and her hands covered his, creating a certain peace that he had been missing for a while.

“What happened to your brother?” Joy’s question was so random that it took Logic to adjust his thoughts and answer.

“He was shot.”

“Oh.” Joy didn’t know what else to say, and she wanted to know more but didn’t know if she should ask.

Logic tightened his hold on Joy and kissed her collarbone before he let his chin rest on her shoulder. He inhaled and let it out slowly because other than with his family and Luther, he hadn’t really expressed his feelings about it and even with them, he hadn’t really talked about how it was breaking him down. He missed his brother and it felt like a part of him was buried with him.

“I miss him,” Logic said randomly.

“I know it can't be easy,” Joy said.

“I feel like it’s my fault. If it wasn’t for me, he would have never been caught up in the bullshit he was in.”

Joy could feel the tension in Logic’s body the more in depth their conversation got about his brother.

“I know that my vote really doesn’t count, but I know that you wouldn’t put your brother in harm’s way. And if he was anything like you, then I can guarantee that he was going to do things his way. So like it or not, I don’t really believe that there was anything you could have done differently.”

“The fuck you mean? You don’t know shit about it so don’t try and analyze me or the situation.” Logic pulled away from Joy. His feet hit the floor and his hands covered his face before they slowly moved across his head. He was angry at himself but taking it out on Joy, and as much as he hated that, he couldn’t control it.

Joy froze for a minute because of the aggression coming from Logic. In that moment, she couldn’t help but think about Rah and how fast he would turn on her. When Joy snapped out of her moment, she climbed out the bed on the opposite side and began grabbing her clothes off the floor. Logic could feel her moving behind him, but needed a minute before he could calm himself enough to address the situation. When he was ready, he stood and moved towards Joy with a calmness that he had to fight hard to maintain.

He reached for her, but she backed away and pulled her shirt over her head.

“Don’t do that, don’t look at me like that.” Logic’s voice was calm and controlled but it wasn’t enough to change Joy’s mind about leaving.

“I’m sorry, it wasn’t my business, and I shouldn’t have-”

Again Logic reached for Joy, but this time he wrapped his arms around her to stop her movement. He could feel her chest heaving from the rapid pace of her breath. “Come on shorty, don’t do that.
