Character/Pairing: Jean, Ororo, Scott
He's gone again, and this time, he didn't tell her. I wonder what happened between him and Jean, but I knew enough not to pry. Instead, I spent my time trying to comfort Jean, to tell her that it was all right when it obviously isn't. I tried to be the older sister I was so many years ago; yet in my heart, I knew that it would never be again.
Despite it all, Jean came to me that night. We didn't say a word to each other, I folded back the covers, allowing her to slip in beside me. We didn't need words. We didn't need to speak, as she rolled close, wrapping her arms around me, burying her head in my shoulder. For that night, I was the older one again, for that night, I comforted my Phoenix.
When dawn came, everything was back to normal. Jean was distant, colder, yet in my heart, I knew that the link was established again, and maybe, someday, we can be who we were to each other so many years ago, again.
