Zack/Logan
It kinda ran away from the scent thing, but it still works, damn it!
They’re having pasta tonight. Zack could smell it from outside. Blends of spices he’ll never have to name, real tomatoes, and undoubtedly fresh seafood. Not that he should be surprised that Logan’s going only top-of-the-line for Max, but no one deserves such decadence in this day and age.
The apartment had just been cleaned, but the antiseptic lemon could barely be sensed anymore. Candles gave off subtle hints of jasmine and lavender. Wine sat open on the table. Old, freshly opened, of the best vintage to have survived this long. There’s bread baking in the kitchen, for god’s sake. The apartment was just too warm and inviting for his tastes.
Then, there was Logan himself. Fresh out of the shower, bathed in real soap and real shampoo and real toothpaste and real aftershave – which implied he had shaved, proof that he meant business that night. But there was still the subtle hint of his sweat, built up from moving himself around and working so hard to set this all up for her.
“Figured you’d show up sooner or later.”
Zack took this as an invitation to melt out of the shadows. Logan was smiling at him with unusual pleasantness as he came from his office. It was eerie.
“How did you know I was coming?”
“You know. Contacts. Word of mouth. The fact that Cindy called to tell me you showed up at Jam Pony again.”
“Did she call Max too?”
“Wouldn’t be surprised. They haven’t been too happy with you since your last visit.”
He looked pointedly around at the elaborate display of a meal. “When’s she getting here, anyway?”
Logan just continued to smile as he began to pour the wine.
“Well?”
“Max isn’t coming.” Logan held a glass out to him, looking smug. “This is for us.”

Don't be silly, there were scents in there. Of course it works!
Such attention to detail in his cataloguing of the scene and yet so oblivious to the fect that it's all for him. Sweet!

And thanks!
