2 chapters in one day. How much do you guys love me?

Logan opens up to Storm. I don't own X-men.

That evening, Logan took a walk about the grounds of the mansion. He walked into the courtyard and sat down on the ground in front of the memorials of the fallen X-men. He had found it a good place to sit and think, or to have a good cry. It made him a bit depressed to think that the in-coming students would never know about Scott Summers and Jean Grey, and that Charles Xavier would just be "the dude that started the school."

Logan heard footsteps approaching. He turned to see Storm walking into the courtyard. She walked over to him and sat down on the ground.

"You all right?" Storm asked. Logan nodded. Storm pulled her knees into her chest. "I need to ask you something."

"I'm listening," Logan assured her.

"Logan, I do walk the halls during the night and I know that there was about three hours that Rogue wasn't in bed last night."

"She was in the common room crying."

"And drinking."

Logan gave her a curious look. "How do you know she was drinking?"

"You always get a twenty-four case of beer. When I get up in the morning, fourteen beers are left."

"Your point?"

"This morning, there were eleven." Logan was silent. "You gave an underage student alcohol."

"I never meant it to get out of hand. She asked for the beer."

"That doesn't mean you had to give it to her! Did anything else happen last night?"

Logan sighed. "Well…"

"Oh, God!" Storm cried. "I don't believe you."

"I didn't sleep with her! I slept in her bed. Our clothes stayed on. It was totally innocent. She was drunk off her ass."

"Then what did happen?"

"I kissed her."

Storm's eyebrows rose. "Really?"

Logan nodded. "I don't know what made me do it."

"I do. The alcohol."

Logan looked at Storm. "I've thought about that. I really don't think it was."

Storm smiled. "Oh, my God," she cooed. "You love her."

Logan rolled his eyes. "Please!"

"Logan, I know you are of the male species, but it is OK to admit your feelings."

Logan sighed heavily and rubbed his chin. "I don't know. She got back together with Bobby."

"I heard. This is a school, news spread like a wildfire."

Logan shook his head. "I don't get it. How could she go back with him after that?"

"Jealous?"

"So what if I am? She's gonna get hurt again. I know it."

"Then maybe you should tell her how you feel."

Logan shook his head. "I can't tell her that."

"Why not?"

"She's still young and I'm…well, I don't even know how old I am. When I first came here, Jean…" Logan paused. Storm placed her hand on Logan's.

"I miss her, too. I miss all of them." She drew her hand back. "As far as the age gap between you and Rogue, I have nothing to say but a cliché."

"Love knows no age?" Storm nodded.

They sat in silence for a while. Logan turned over his thoughts in his head. Finally, he stood up and started to walk back towards the mansion. Storm smiled.

"Good luck, Logan," she said.
