The Secret

I didn't mean to spy.

I was walking past the Den, and just happened to look in.

Logan entered the room right before I got there. He paused just a moment, and then smiled. He doesn't smile often so I glanced in... And I saw them fall into a kiss.

I froze where I stood.

They were too involved with each other to notice me so, I am embarrassed to admit, I watched. They were wrapped in each others arms. They kissed sweetly. They parted slowly, but as their eyes opened they became locked together; then their hands met and clasped almost, it seemed, without conscious thought.

"You're back." His voice was filled with a mixture of excitement, and concern. "How'd it go?"

A soft kiss was placed on a lowered forehead. "It went okay I guess. I kept the team alive."

Another hug; it looked more determined this time, and then his soft voice filled with love and pride. “Of course y' did. It's what y' do and y' *are* the best at what you do... everything y' do," followed by a gentle smile.

"God, you're beautiful when you smile." It was whispered like a prayer, and I felt a chill run up my spine as Logan's fingers traced Remy's face.

There was so much adoration in the gentle touch.

I realized then that I was witnessing something truly extraordinary.

I suddenly realized where I was, and what I was doing. I had happened upon a secret. I smiled and silently moved down the hall. My brother would come to me when he was ready. If he did not I knew Logan would.

I smiled; my brother and one of my best friends.

They are so together and although I am surprised it is so *right.*

I silently thanked the Goddess for showing them this kindness.

I will keep their secret safe.

I will let the image of it warm me when I am feeling down.

No one deserves it more and I hope, for their sakes, that it lasts until the end of time.
