Chapter 10: Boyfriend

"Thanks for taking me to the movies Logan," Lyss said, as the two of them took a walk.

"Yeah, sure. Maybe we can do this again sometime," he told her, grinning. "And maybe next time I can take you out to dinner, some place where we speak the language."

She laughed. "I'd like that."

They continued walking hand in hand, not saying anything just enjoying each others company when a breeze fluttered by, ruffling Lyss's long dark brown hair.

Logan noticed Lyss shivering in her short, blue slip dress and immediately took off his own brown leather jacket. He stepped in front of her and wordlessly draped the jacket over her shoulders.

Startled by his actions Lyss mumbled, "Oh Logan, it's ok, I'm-"

He cut her off. "Better?" he asked.

A slow smile overcame her face. "Yes better," she softly agreed.

He didn't move, his hands were still on his jacket holding it closed for her and she just stood there mesmerized by him.

"I like you Lyss," he whispered. "I like you a lot."

A smile lit the corners of her mouth and she found herself saying, "I like you a lot too, Logan."

A matching smile spread onto Logan's face just before he leaned down and kissed the corner of her mouth, gently, teasingly. She smiled wider just before she turned slightly and planted her own lips firmly against his. She quickly returned the teasing gesture, brushing a soft kiss against his mouth, nibbling at his lips and then another butterfly kiss.

She heard something like a growl come from Logan right before he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to his body. His teeth grazed her lips; his tongue coaxed her lips to part, after a couple of seconds of denial she finally let him in. And the kiss deepened.

So lost were they in this that they didn't notice a figure approaching them. They were rudely interrupted from the kiss they were both enjoying by a voice that Logan remembered all too well.

"Oh look the Wolverine has got himself a little kitty," a voice mocked.

They broke apart quickly to see who dared to interrupt them.

"Sabertooth?" Logan said, shocked to see a man who he had thought died five years ago. "But you're supposed to be-" Lyss looked from Logan to the unusually large man.

"Dead, I know," Sabertooth snarled. "But I guess not."

Logan stared at him with a hard look on his face. "So what do you want?"

"I thought we could share your pet there," Sabertooth said, leering at Lyss.

Lyss's eyes widened, slightly afraid of this weird man.

"You're not coming anywhere near her," Logan gritted out.

"Wanna bet," Sabertooth taunted, as he started rushing towards them. Logan let out his claws and was ready to attack. Just as Sabertooth was in swiping range, he abruptly froze. Logan looked at Sabertooth's frozen pose, confused.

Then it him suddenly… "Lyss? What'd you do that for?"

"I froze him. Just who the hell is this?" Lyss ranted.

"That's a long story," Logan replied. "I'll tell you later. How long does this last?"

Lyss was about to reply, but Sabertooth unfroze and took a swipe at Logan. "Not long," she added anyway.

She watched as the two fought back and forth until Logan got cornered. She was pretty sure Logan could get out of it himself but she wanted to help.

She concentrated hard and with a flick of her wrist she had Sabertooth flying through the air straight into a park bench.

Sabertooth slowly got up from the splintered mess and was about to move in her direction when the splintered wood started blowing up around him. Cutting off his way to them, he had nowhere to run but back. "I'll be seeing you Wolverine. You and your girl." And he made his escape.

Logan came to stand beside her and she heard him gruffly say. "I could have handled that myself."

"I know, but I wanted to help," she replied.

He started walking back towards the theater, where his bike was parked, she quickly caught up and heard him say, "Well next time don't," in the same gruff voice.

With his quick walking and her practically running behind him they reached his bike in no time.

He handed her the helmet saying, "Here." And she took it, but made no move to put it on.

"You're mad at me," she stated, sounding angry herself.

"No I'm not," he replied.

She stared up at his face, angry and confused. She could feel a prickling sensation in her eyes. "I'm sorry if you need to feel all macho or something but I'm not going to stand around looking all helpless when my boyfriend is getting beat on! Not if I can do anything to help!"

Suddenly she realized what she had just said and she turned away from the look Logan was giving her, one that she couldn't decipher.

Her cheeks turned red in her embarrassment, as the prickling sensation turned into hot tears that wouldn't fall, and she stood there thinking, 'Stupid, idiot!'

Not turning to face him, she started to ramble, "I mean you're a boy and a friend. I mean your not really a boy, you're a man, but you know what I mean. And you're a very good friend…and we've only went out twice and I don't-" She stopped abruptly when she felt his arms encircle her from behind.

"Lyss," he said gently.

"Ye- Yeah," she stuttered.

"I think I'd like that," Logan told her.

"Like what?" she asked dumbly.

"I'd like to be your boyfriend," he said, grinning at her.

"It took her a second to figure out what he said, "Really?"

"Yes," Logan said, still grinning. "If you'd like to be my girlfriend."

"I'd like that too," she said, a smile replacing her confused look.

"Good. And I'm sorry about before. I just don't want to see you get hurt," he confessed.

"I can take care of myself," she replied stubbornly.

"I know that now," he said, smiling warmly at her. "Come on let's get you home."

"So you say Sabertooth is alive," Professor Xavier confirmed.

"Yes," Logan replied. It was late at night, and everyone was asleep, but Logan had to inform the Professor of what had happened. They were now in his office discussing the matter.

"And he didn't tell you what he wanted?" the Professor asked.

"No."

"Well what do you intend to do?" he asked.

"I'm going to hunt his sorry ass down and make him tell me what he's up to," Logan answered gruffly.

"Uh huh. When do you plan on leaving?" Xavier asked cautiously.

"Tonight!" Logan replied, as if it were obvious.

"May I remind you that classes start in a week and as an instructor you are obligated to be here when they do," he reminded.

"Yeah I know. Look I'll go for a couple of days, if I' don't find him I'll be back right away, before classes start," Logan explained.

"All right. Since I know I can't change your mind. Are you at least going to tell Lyss that you're leaving?" Professor X chided.

"Lyss?" Logan asked.

"Yes Logan, Lyss. Despite the short amount of time she's been with us, I know you've gotten quite close. I'm sure she'd appreciate you telling her," Xavier explained.

"Look she's asleep right now. Can't you tell her? And besides I'll only be gone a few days," Logan argued.

"Fine Logan," Xavier gave up. "Be on your way then and call if you find anything out."

"Yeah, will do," Logan absently promised as he abruptly walked out of the office.

Well that's it for now.

Reviews:

Rogue14: Well you were right on your first guess. It was Sabertooth. Good job! I actually like the Rogue/Bobby pairing in the movie. But I would like to see Rogue and Scott together too. But I don't think Rogue or Bobby is going to be in the next movie since neither Anna Paquin nor Sean Ashmore have been signed on yet. That sucks! Which is weird since they're saying that Remy may be in the movie. And I know fans want a little Remy Rogue interaction. Anyways thanks for the review!

Swallowed in the Sea: Well I already responded to your review. I tried emailing you this chapter to be betaed before I posted it. But I was a little impatient so I posted it anyways. But thanks for offering.

Jessebelle: Thanks for the review. Lets see recommendations…umm…Virago and Allied Strangers by falln-angl are really good. And Southern Comfort and Vodka Straight by Brandicat is really good, though it's rated R. Secrets Revealed by Sarah-Crysala is really good too.

Fyr's Shadow: Thanks for the awesome review! I write my chapters out by hand and then type them up so that's why it takes me so long. But I'll try to update sooner.

LoganLuver: Lyss has long dark brown wavy hair. Thanks for the review!

And thanks to everyone else who reviewed: kristy, BlackNightWolf04, Amy, Jessie, and TpolTucker. You guys are awesome!
