Chapter 10- The First Kiss

Scott was standing under the porch of the school after his classes ended. Rain was pouring out of the sky, and thunder shook the air around him. Ororo had stopped by his last class to tell him that Logan was being released this evening. Scott was finally able to breath properly. All that time waiting had made Scott on edge, and pissed off. He couldn't wait to see Magneto again, to repay him in kind for what he put Logan through. The door creaked open slowly, and Marie stepped out onto the porch with Scott.

"Hey..." she smiled.

"Hello Marie, how are you?" he smiled back.

"Fine, I just like coming out to listen to the rain. It's so calming." she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. "Normally, I would go out to the gazebo in the center of the garden but it's raining to hard for me to make it before getting soaked." Scott cracked a small smile. "Well, I going to go see how Logan is, I hear he's getting out this evening."

"Yeah, he is..." Scott stared back out to the garden and Marie made her way back in, leaving Scott by himself on the porch, in the pouring rain. He sighed, closed his eyes, and just listened to the rain as it fell. Logan was fresh and vivid in his mind.

Later that day, Scott was lying in his bed, his curtains pulled back so he could watch the rain continue to fall. The sun was starting to set, which meant nightfall would be approaching soon after. Scott quickly sat up and walked out of his room and almost into Ororo.

"Hey, where are you headed?" Scott chuckled softly.

"Hey, 'Ro. I'm just heading back out to the garden, maybe even drop by to see Jean." Ororo smiled softly and hugged him.

"Alright, just stay dry okay?" Scott nodded and walked down the hall, and Ororo took this time to scurry to Hank's lab to talk to Logan. Now, was he time to give her boys the proper push in the right direction. Marie was leaving the lab as Ororo was walking in. The girls exchanged a smile and a soft greeting before Ororo stepped in. "Hey, how are you feeling?"

"I'll get better faster after I get the hell out of here! I'm tired of being in this damn lab!" Ororo chuckled.

"Well when Hank gives you the go ahead, Scott will be in the garden, or talking to Jean." Logan nodded trying to hide a smile. "You should go see him first, he's been a bundle of nerves."

"I will 'Ro..."

Scott kneeled on Jean's grave in the pouring rain. He bowed his head with a soft smile. "Hey Jean... Sorry I haven't visited lately. I've been a little busy, as I'm sure you know. But I came to tell you that, I found someone. Well, sort of. You're probably just in shock over this. I know I am. But Jean, he's so different than what I thought he was. There's a part of him that neither of us saw. And I just... I feel drawn to him. I can't explain it Jean. I really can't. I just hope you aren't mad at me. But I need him Jean. I really do." Thunder cracked and lightening flashed and Scott ran to the gazebo in the center of the garden and shivered. Not from the rain or the slight chill, but from his nerves. This had been the first time he had visited Jean's grave since he came back. But he never felt the need to. He had said his good-byes to Jean when she put him in the lake and dealt with his grief under the lake. But now he felt that he should at least confide in her about Logan.

Scott sat on the rail of the wooden gazebo as the rain came down. He noticed that lights were beginning to turn off in the mansion, so Scott jogged across the lawn and into the school. He ran head first into Logan's chest.

"Where you in the rain?!" Logan looked slightly annoyed and irritated.

"Yeah... I needed to talk to Jean about something." a towel was thrown into Scott's face.

"Well, next time, do it when it's not raining. We don't need you sick and laying at death's door." Scott chuckled.

"Logan, I've been at death's door more time than I cared to count. I needed to do this. It couldn't wait." Logan grabbed the towel and started to dry Scott's hair.

"I think Jean would have wanted to you to wait so you didn't catch your death on her grave." Scott smiled and found himself staring up into Logan's molten chocolate eyes. There was a pulling and Scott found himself drawing closer to Logan. But at the last minute he ducked and scampered up the stairs.

"Thanks Logan..." he smiled down from the rail.

"For what?" Logan asked, his eyebrows drawn together.

"For... Everything." Scott ran up to his room to take a hot shower and change into warmer clothes.

Scott stared out of his window the next night, watching the rain patter against the glass. Everything that happened yesterday was echoing in Scott's head. The conversation with Ororo and then the thing that happened, or almost happened, with Logan. Scott shivered. It was getting worse. All Scott could hear was Logan. His gruff voice made Scott shiver, his scent made Scott want to bury his face in Logan's strong chest. His rough hands, stained Scott's skin with want. This was in no way this was lust, it was stronger almost. Scott couldn't name it. He just knew he was drawn to Logan, that Logan was now the only thing that kept Scott in check and keep him grounded. And it relieved Scott to no end that he finally had someone to share the pressure and the fear. And Logan was it. Scott took in a sharp gasp.

Logan. It was all coming to Logan and it made Scott heart skip a beat. It was Logan, and Scott could feel it. Someone was moving in the garden and Scott almost gripped his chest as his heart made a frantic leap. He knew that silhouette anywhere. Logan was heading to the gazebo in the center of the garden and Scott sprinted out of his room, down the hall, out the front door, and into the garden.

"Logan!" he called as he reached the gazebo. The man turned and glared at Scott.

"Dammit Slim! Did we not have this conversation last night?!" Scott chuckled.

"Yeah, but there's something I needed to tell you. Something you have to know, and it just couldn't wait." Logan was now watching Scott closely and carefully. "I... I need you Logan." the man stepped closer to the other, who was panting and shaking. "I can't do this without you, Logan..." Logan cupped Scott's face and Scott's heart was beating wildly like the rain that was falling around them.

"You don't have to Slim. I'm going to be here and never leave." Scott took in a shuddering intake of breath and started to shake.

"Logan... You-" Scott's dual colored eyes widened as Logan pressed his chapped lips to Scott's. Scott forgot how to breath and think. Then his eye fluttered closed and gave in to Logan. Melting into the bigger and taller man's form he kissed back. In the pouring rain, under the roar of thunder and the flash of lightening, two lost souls found each other.

[Yes, I am a hopeless romantic. I really out did myself I think! XD]
