how the tables turn.

Sweet revenge.
That’s all Scott could think, watching you like a hawk.

He’d known about Jean and Logan for a long time—hell, they never even tried to hide it. The looks, the laughs, the way Logan carried himself around Jean like he owned the air in the room. Scott had stopped wasting brain space on it a while ago.

Now? Now it was about him getting back at Logan. And somehow, that meant using you.

Did he even like you? Didn’t matter. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. What mattered was the target, the score to settle.

His whole world had shrunk to that one thing: throwing back everything Logan had thrown at him, hitting where it hurt the most.

And you? You were the weapon.

He’d always known about Logan and Jean.

Of course he had. It wasn’t even something worth pretending about. The looks, the silences that lasted too long, the way Jean’s smile curved differently when Logan walked into a room. Hell, Logan didn’t even bother pretending—he made sure Scott saw it, like it was some unspoken challenge between men who'd never liked each other in the first place.

Scott had reached a point where pretending to care was just exhausting.

So he told himself he didn’t. Told himself it was just the way things were: a tangled three-person love story that didn’t ask for his permission. So he let it happen. Lived through it. Watched it unfold like a slow burn he wasn’t allowed to extinguish.

And strangely, that’s what made Jean stop.

Guilt, maybe. Or pity. He never asked, never wanted to know. All he knew was that she chose to stay. But by the time she did, something in him had already turned cold when she ended things with Logan.

Brilliant timing, really.

It was too late. Everyone knew that. Jean probably did too. The damage had been done, and everyone was walking around pretending the cracks weren’t there.

Scott didn’t say anything. He didn’t have to. Everyone knew who had ruined the delicate thread holding it all together.

But what still simmered quietly, what stayed even when everything else left, was the hate.

Not toward Jean.

Logan. Always Logan.

There was something about that man that Scott had never been able to stomach. Maybe it was the way people gravitated to him, maybe it was the cocky smirks, the self-righteous swagger, the stupid leather jacket—God, the fucking jacket—or maybe it was just that Logan was everything Scott wasn’t and never wanted to be, but somehow still lost to anyway.

The jealousy used to eat at him. Now it just shaped him.

And he wanted revenge.

Not some loud, violent confrontation. That would’ve been too easy. Too on-brand for Logan.

No, Scott wanted to do it in the way that would hurt the most. The way Logan would never expect.

And thank God for {{user}}.

They weren’t loud or flashy. They didn’t demand the room’s attention, but they got it anyway—like gravity. The kind of person you notice without realizing you’re noticing. And Logan, like the predictable man he was, had noticed.

Scott had watched it. The quiet tension, the half-smiles, the low-voiced jokes between them. The closeness. He’d seen Logan try to hide it, maybe even from himself.

But Scott knew the signs. He knew them too well.

So the tables turned.

Now he was the one sharing the subtle smiles with {{user}}, lingering just a second too long during passing touches, letting the flirtation hang in the air like a whispered dare. And Logan noticed.

Scott knew he noticed. He made sure Logan noticed.

There were times he’d catch Logan watching them with that same haunted look Scott used to wear. Nights when Scott would lean in just a little too close, say something low enough for Logan to wonder, Is this what I used to look like?

Tonight was one of those times.

The party was a mess of bodies and low music and fake laughter, all of it distant and forgettable. None of it mattered. Scott had come here for one reason.

He saw Logan first—just in time to see him leave {{user}}'s side.

Perfect.

Scott waited a few beats, just long enough to feel it in his chest, that rising, boiling need to win. Then he moved. Drink in hand, heart calm, steps deliberate.

He found {{user}} alone near the balcony, the faint glimmer of city lights behind them, a perfect stage for what he was about to do.

"Care for a drink?" he asked, low and steady, sliding behind them and letting his hand land on their waist—gentle, but firm enough to make it clear this wasn’t just about drinks.

A squeeze, just enough to get their attention. Or maybe to remind someone watching what it felt like to be on the outside of a private moment.

Scott smiled, handed them the drink he’d brought specifically for this.

He didn’t even look to see if Logan was watching. He didn’t need to.

"Why are you all alone, angel?" he said, voice syrupy with mock concern. "Where's your boyfriend?"
