"Until Death"
Whenever they slept, they were somehow always touching. He'd have an arm or leg around her, or she'd press her frame against his in an almost possessive manner. Throughout the night, he'd plant a kiss on her cheek and she'd sigh with content. It was like he was afraid to lose her, afraid that she would fly away and leave him all alone.
At one point, they had been separated. Death's sickle swung and she left him - or so everybody thought. But through a twist of fate and underhanded relationships, it turned out that nothing could keep a Phoenix away from her precious Weapon-X.
No longer were they just members of Magneto's X-Men. Together, they were leaders, and no matter how many transitions the team would undoubtedly go through down the road, they would always have each other. They vowed to each other, till death do them part, to always be together.
"... Darlin'?"
"Mmm?"
Eyes closed, Logan kissed the back of Jean's bare shoulder and replied, "Just checkin'. Go back to sleep."
