Disclaimer: X-men very definitely isn't mine. For one thing, Storm would have an actual storyline.
---
Logan doesn't need to remember Ororo. She is a constant presence.
She makes him do class schedules and always takes the last of the coffee without making a fresh pot. He dumps most of his paperwork onto her and tells the brutal truth about each and every one of her haircuts. If he thinks about it – which he usually doesn't – he'd say she's his closest friend.
Occasionally, he has the urge to reach out and touch her. It comes from out of nowhere, like lightening out of a clear sky. Hell, she's a beautiful woman, and he's only human. Sometimes after a mission, when she is flushed and sweating from exertion, he idly wonders how she'd react if he shoved her up against the lockers and kissed her bruisingly hard.
Hell, she'd probably fry him.
Logan thinks he could have her though, if he wanted. He's good looking (as testified to by countless women) and very persistent when he decides he wants something. The fact that he's an arrogant bastard has yet to work against him. And whilst Storm doesn't appear to be interested, he's sure he could change that, if he wanted to.
If she were a woman in a bar, and he was still wandering between cage-fights in his beat-up trailor, he would have bought her a drink. No pretty words, because Ororo in any incarnation doesn't take any bullshit. They would go back to his trailor, and he would fuck her, and leave the next day, and the only real significance she'd have would be that she was prettier than most.
Sometimes he thinks about touching her. But he never does.
He loves her too much.
