Beside You

Logan woke up. The night had fallen long ago. The room was silent, besides Warren's quiet breathing. The younger mutant was lying on top of the older, his face half buried in his chest. Warren quietly woke, and both starred at each other for a long moment.

"Warren." Logan slowly cupped his face in his hands, and brought his lips up to meet his own.

The kiss was innocent. Gentle. Loving. After they'd pulled away, Logan still kept a hold of Warren's face, as if he was afraid to let go.

"What's wrong?" Warren asked in a whisper.

"I just. I want this to work soo badly, I guess I'm just worried…"

"With no reason," Warren reassured him, "Even when you let go-" Warren kissed him deeply "-I'll still be here."

Logan nodded, and let go. Warren set Logan's arms around him and snuggled up to the warm body of the older. Logan sighed, "Promise?"

"I promise on my life," Warren said.

Logan frowned, "Don't promise on that…"

Warren whispered, "Alright. I promise with all the love in my heart, I will never leave you." Logan didn't say anything; he just listened to the soft breathing of the other, hoping he'd re able to hear it every night. Warren groaned, "Will you stop worrying and just go to sleep?"

"I fear if I fall asleep, I'll lose you," Logan murmured, "Which seems harder and harder to except…"

"Logan. I'm right here. Stop bein' scared"

Logan didn't respond, just starred silently at the ceiling. Warren pulled Logan into a long kiss, only pulling away when he was in need of air.

"I love you," Logan said.

"When did you decide this?" Warren asked.

Logan answered, "When we were falling, and my arms were around you, and I realized why I was doing it."

"I love you, too," Warren said softly.

"Since when?" Logan asked.

Warren blushed, "The second I saw you."

"Good to know," Logan whispered. Warren didn't reply. "I just hope that's enough."

"Logan," Warren said sternly, "Stop freaking out. Nobody is breaking us up. No Storm. Or anyone else. We will be together. You hear me? So press your frickin' lips to mine, shut up, and go to sleep!"

"Yes sir," Logan said, kissing him for a long time. After they'd parted, Warren rolled off Logan, and pulled the older mutant on top of him, so they were in much the exact same position, except in each other's places. Warren laid Logan's head gently on his breast, stroked his hair softly, and whispered into his ear, until Logan finally started to fall asleep.

When Logan was snoring, Warren decided it was alright that he snooze too. He also decided that he'd keep his word. Nothing, in the world, would ever tear them apart. They'd always be together.

Warren kissed Logan's head, one last time, and slowly fell asleep, after whispering, "I'll always be here. Beside you."
