Wow. So glad that Wade and Yukio both had a great time even though their arguably favorite people weren't there with them!
Thankfully though, the mission should be over aaaaannnnyyy second now!

"I'm back." Wade heard from the open bedroom door. Said by a voice that made him jerk completely out of bed in excitement.

"You're back!?"

"Uh, yeah?"

"What'd you and the X-Twerps get up to out in the big old, dangerous world?"

"Uh," Cable said, perhaps a little overwhelmed with emotion when Wade dashed across the room and wrapped him in a hug which brought their bodies flush against each other. "We liberated some kids with mutative powers from a traveling circus while it was stopped in Zurich."

"Okay, give me a fake city name because the actual one is top secret. That's fine. Everything's fine," Wade said as he snuggled even closer to the best thing he'd had in his life since...

"Wade, there's something I need to tell you-"

"Of course, love bear, but I'm sure it can wait until we've reached the post coital pillow talk part of our reunion, right?" Asked the guy with the ever tightening, tentacle hold on his surly, burly, soon to be ultimately closer, lover.

Proving his reciprocation of Wade's uncontrollable lust, Cable pulled out some cyborg Judo moves to hitch his octopus's legs around his waist. Then, reminding Wade of a dedicated, silverback koala, the guy with the metal arm walked the both of them over to the bed and flopped forward right onto the covers. Squishing the air out of Wade's lungs when the couple hundred pounds of nothing but solid muscle ended up on top.
All of which gave Wade a beautiful sense memory flashback to the second time they'd ever met, in the back of a screaming metal death trap, entwined just as they were now. A stiletto, which he still had —#Momento—, driven tenderly into his side.

Big difference being, this time, the mouth that had tried to remove a large chunk of his larger pectoral area... didn't. Prompting Wade to wonder whether the feisty fighter's feelings for him hadn't somehow... changed.
Although, their heads were right next to each other. So that might have actually been the biggest difference, if Wade thought about it.

Cable sighed a big sigh right next to Wade's ear, causing the guy currently bottoming to shiver at the warm, moist feeling it left on his listening organ.
"I know I've been... distant since the ride to the mansion, in Dopinder's 'hate mobile'," Cable started. Causing Wade to squeeze the guy's entire body just a little tighter. "And I know that's not what either of us... really wanted, but," Cable continued, sounding like he was having a hard time getting the words out.

Then Wade realized how hard he was squeezing and loosened up the full body death-grip to something a little more conducive to breathing.
They both took in a lungful, ins and outs easing back to normal before Cable went on.

"But I couldn't force myself on you when I knew... you were still grieving the death of your wife. Especially not when I knew... I might be able to do something about that tragedy."

"What?" Wade asked. Moving his head far enough to the side that he could look Cable in the face.
"What in the name of Mahatma Fucking Gandhi are you saying? Are- Are you breaking up with me?" Wade asked with a worry that turned into pinpricks of water at the corner of his eyes when his living body pillow pulled himself free enough to get his hands under him and raise himself into a push-up position.

Gazing at Wade from straight above, right in the face, Cable looked every ounce as worried as Wade felt.
That didn't make Wade feel any better.

"No, I'm not trying to 'break up' with you; I'm saying, after this, you might want to 'break up' with me."

"No I wouldn't! Wait. Why?" Wade asked, feeling even further confused, though perhaps a little, tiny bit, ultra comforted, when Cable's organic hand cupped the side of his face and the thumb smoothed gently at his cheek.

Wordlessly, Cable lowered himself from his one armed, sexily show-offy, push-up. Fulfilling several of Wade's fantasies when he tenderly crushed his rock hard bod back down on him and nudged their noses together. A moment of indecision passing before the topper went in for a sensually slow, 'I'm sorry' style kiss.

"Wow. Don't tell me you killed Russell after all?"

"Jesus Christ," Wade heard Cable say under his breath. Before a deep, cyborg chuckle vibrated the whole bed. That alluring thumb still brushing Wade's face. Making his other cheek feel left out. "No. Russell's here, along with the other kids from the orphanage, and with so many 'talented' teachers around," Cable said with a scoff, "I couldn't kill him if I wanted to."

"Then why the flowers and chocolates apology? Hm? Though," Wade said with an eyebrow wiggle, "I am liking where this is headed."

"Because... Negasonic Teenage Warhead fixed my 'time machine'," Cable said, in a voice laced with an emotion painfully close to, but definitely not quite, regret.
"Turns out, she's really good with mechanical engineering and-"

"Wait. What're you- What-"

"We can save your wife. I spent some time figuring it out and I didn't want to mention it until I knew it would work. Now, I know it will."

Wade and Cable stood from their cuddly cuddle as the room's mood changed from 'adorably domestic' to 'serious shit about to go down?'.

"How- how would that work? She's- Ness's been... gone for weeks."

"It's easier if I show you," Cable said, with a possessive hand reaching around Wade's hips to pull him close. "Body slide by two," came the next, confusing, gruff in his muscly throat, words.

Right before the X-manor's, 'committed couple's' bedroom disappeared in a somehow unmistakable-even-to-Wade, rippling, tearing away of both reality and time.

Fuck his boyfriend was hot.

Yes, Wade, your boyfriend thinks you're hot too. Don't let yourself forget it either, baby!

Anyone looking forward to seeing Ness for the very first time? I just hope Cable's prepared for the experience! :D
