Beautiful Mess

Summary: How does being in love affect Jesse's normal life. Waking up late, drinking cold coffee, forgetting email passwords, slacking off, forgetting what shoe goes on what foot...its just a beautiful mess to Jesse.

A/N: This is just going to be just a one-shot. I don't know if this one will grow or not. So I hope you enjoy and yes it's based on yet another song. The song is called "Beautiful Mess" by Diamond Rio. It's a good song...and hopefully I made a good story out of it.

Chapter 1: Coffee and Salt

8:30 in the morning and already Sanctuary was alive. Computers hum with energy, lights illuminate every inch of darkness with helpful rays of sunlight peering through open windows. With each second the smell of a home cooked breakfast fades away and that once freshly brewed coffee is now getting cold in its pot. Yes morning is passing; everyone is awake and is ready for this new day. All but one.

In a dark room, one bed was still occupied. Still unaware that night had turned to daylight. Totally dead to the alarm that was filling the room with its painful sound. Jesse Kilmartin was still asleep. For ten minutes his alarm has been going off and it still failed to get Jesse up. But suddenly laughing was heard over the loud beeping, and that caused the mutant to stir. It was at this point that he was aware of his alarm. He quickly rolled over and slapped the button that killed that awful sound. With a sigh and a big yawn, Jesse got out of bed. He didn't bother taking a shower or anything; he just put new clothes on and used his fingers as a comb to detangle his sandy blonde hair as he headed out to get a late start on the day.

Jesse made his way to the kitchen and grabbing his favorite mug, he poured himself a cup of coffee. But his mind was else where, because he did not realize that the coffee became cold and that the white grainy substance he was pouring in his coffee wasn't sugar but instead it was salt. When he was satisfied with the amount he put in, he brought this strange drink to his lips and drank. He was ready for the energy that it usually brings him, but today it came back up with disgust.

"You know that coffee has been sitting for an hour now." Adam acknowledged.

"It wasn't that. . . dose sugar go bad?" Jesse asked as he poured the dark substance down the drain.

"No, I don't believe so. But that wasn't sugar."

"What was it then?" Jesse asked as he watched Mr. Coffee make more coffee.

"You are still asleep aren't you? It was salt Jesse."

"Oh..."

"You really need to be awake before you start doing stuff."

"I'll remember that next time."

"Oh there is some things I need you to do. I left a list by the computers." Adam said before he headed back to the lab.

"Okay will do...once I get some coffee in me." He said to himself as he poured hot stemming coffee in his freshly clean cup. He reached to put sugar in, but he remembered what he just did with his last cup. So he decided to just have his coffee black today. Anyways he could use the energy.
