The Power of Love 2:Jean/Scott

Disclamer:Marvel owns the X-Men

(Note:story takes place after a rather nasty mission that hits too lose to home for Scott)


Scott gazes out a window as Jean sleeps nearby.The only thing on his mind was the

mission that day and its effect on his feelings.Scott thinks to himself,"Why does this keep

bringing back what happened all those months ago" as quiet tears trickle down his

cheek.Jean hears the tears coming from the window and gets out of bed.She whispers

softly in Scott's ear,"You ok? I heard you crying".Scott tries to tell Jean what was wrong

when the feelings became too much to bear alone.Jean slips her arm around and whispers

in his ear,"My turn to be there".Over the next two hours Jean tries to keep her heart from

breaking as Scott cries on her shoulder.Ever so often she can only whisper quiet yet tender

I love you's and soft whispers of reasureance in Scott's ear.As they finally went back

to bed,Scott sunk into the warmth of Jean's tender embrace."I mean after what happened

today,it just brought back things I through were in the past" Scott finally tells

Jean."Memories sometimes don't stay that way,but you know that I'll listen" Jean tells

Scott."After a day like today,it helps to know that actually" Scott admits softly to Jean.As

Scott started to doze off, Jean leaned over and whispered in Scott's ear,"I love you" and

softly kissed him on the cheek.Scott whispered back as he returned the kiss,"I love you jst

as much Red".
