The Little Things
This POV starts as soon as Ororo has left the kitchen after bumping into Logan. Please Read and Review. ^_^

Logan watched the African goddess leave the kitchen in an uncharacteristic hurry. He made himself not think about what just transpired with the sheer force of will he used not to think about his nightmares.
"Better make the lemonade." Logan mumbled under his breath as he looked/smelled for lemons. He found them, three of them, and cut them in half using a claw that popped out of his right hand. Using his adamantium enforced hand, he squeezed all the juice using the white lemon squeezer, faster then Ororo had done minutes before.
He heard a shout form the dinning room, but chose to ignore it.
He then filled the two-liter jug with water, poured the lemon juice, and poured some sugar into the mix. He stirred the concoction until it was sufficiently mixed. Then he tasted the thing and found it too sweet for his taste.
The kids better like it 'cause I'm not making another. That said, he took the jug in one hand and what was left of the vegetables in the other and walking into the living room.

"Could we have something to drink here?" shouted Ray shouted to the closed door that led to the kitchen.
He was about to shout again, but was interrupted by Kitty.
"They've been gone a long time. And it's so quite in there. You think they're making out?"
"Man, I so didn't want that image in my head. That's my Aunt you're talking about, dude!"
"Take a chill pill Spyke. This is Logan we're talking about. You know, the guy who loves to make our lives a living hell? Ah don't think he has a romantic side." Rogue spoke up.
"Like, that's not fair. You're not Miss Social either, but that doesn't mean you don't pine for a guy you barely know" Rogue's mouth opened in shock and surprise. "Besides, Mr. Logan can be nice if he wants to." Kitty quickly finished.
"Ah am not pining! Ah want to kill the guy! He almost tried to kill me!" Rogue more or less shouted in Kitty's face.
"Who are you talking about?" Jean asked.
"Non of your business." Rogue answered back.
"Come on, you like have to admit you like him." Kitty said, an evil smile on her face.
"Ah hate him!"
"Who?" Scott interrupted, but was completely ignored.
"You stared at his butt." Kitty innocently pointed out.
"Ah did not"
"Yeah, you did. Real long too." Kitty's evil smile grew.
"Did not!" Rogue half shouted. She would have blushed if she weren't furious at Kitty.
"Did too."
"Did not" Everyone sat quite as the exchange continued. They were dieing to know who the guy was that Kitty seemed convince Rogue liked. And the fact that Rogue argued so defensively sparked everyone's interest.
"Did too."
"Did not"
"Did too.
"Did not"
"Did-" Kitty was interrupted by Logan, who had just came in.
"For crying out loud will you two just shut up!" Neither made a sound.
"Good." He glared, then he set down the jug and vegetables. "I need a beer."
"Logan it's-" Professor started to say.
"Can it Chuck. I'm not in the mood. And if I hear another word out of any of you, it's Danger Room training with me." With that he left.
No one made a sound as they ate. When each finished, they left their dishes on the table and went to their rooms, too scared to go into the kitchen with a very irritated Wolverine waiting.
Professor Xavier thought about talking to Logan, but decided against it. Xavier had felt the waves of frustration coming off of the man and he didn't particularly want to be yelled at. He too left to go to his room.
Meanwhile, Logan finished his drink. He figured, when he heard everybody leave but none coming into the kitchen, that he should clean up after the students. After all, it wasn't their fault that he was frustrated. No the reason belonged to a certain cocoa skinned female, currently residing somewhere in the house.
Logan pushed the thoughts of what he'd like to do that certain female, and concentrated on clearing the dishes and putting them into the dishwasher. He took the leftovers and put them in the middle of the kitchen table, setting two places.
And just as he sat down to eat, the kitchen door opened. Blue eyes locked on brown. For a split second, there was nothing outside of the gaze for either of them, then they both looked away.
"Saved you some darlin'" Logan said, gesturing to the chair opposite him.
"Thank you Logan." Ororo gracefully walked towards the chair and sat.
"You didn't have to wait to eat with me." She said as she loaded her plate with the steamed vegetables.
"Kids were giving me a headache." He took a bite. After he swallowed, he gave her a wolfish grin. "Besides, why wouldn't I want the company of a beautiful woman like yourself?"
Ororo blushed. "Thank you for the compliment." She gave him a warm smile.
"Any time darlin'" Logan answered, the wolfish smile never leaving his face.
They finish their dinner in silence.
Ororo stood up. "Do you need help?"
"Nah, I'm good. 'Sides, you need your beauty sleep eh?"
Ororo gave him another warm smile. "Good night Logan."
"Night Ro."
With that, Ororo left the kitchen.
