**Chapter Twenty-One**
(That night)
Lyric tossed and turned in her bed. Now sleep would come to her. She just kept thinking Scott, Scott, Scott. That wasn't the only thing keeping her up. Kurt was with Kitty tonight and that didn't make things any easier. She'd hear occasional moaning or some German cursing. She knew that Kurt was in his true form because of the faint moonlight she saw a blue tail twitch. She turned to Rogue's bed but she was sound asleep with headphones on. She sighed and got up quietly leaving the room. The hall way was cold, empty and dark. She looked down it and decided to go to a certain room at the end of the hallway.

KNOCK KNOCK

Scott moaned as the faint noise woke him up.

KNOCK KNOCK

Before opening his eyes Scott felt his face to be sure his goggles were on correctly.

KNOCK KNOCK

He was too lazy to get up and he figured it was Ororo wanting to talk to Jean or was Bobby and Kurt playing a joke. "C-come in." he managed to say. The door opened enough for a small figure to get it and close it again. The figure tip-toed to his bed. After adjusting his eyes he saw it was Lyric. "Lyric, are you okay?"

"Yeah, fine, couldn't sleep,"

"Oh well here," he sat up and moved over a bit for her to have room. "you can sit."

"Thanks," she took her place sitting cross-legged. She didn't know why she came. Neither of them knew what to say or do. Lyric formed a small water spher.

Okay Scott, tell her he said to himself. Scott reached out and touched her shouler. She flinched and the spher broke splashing her and Scott.

"Oh I'm sorry! Here don't move," she abosorbed the water from her clothing and Scott's. "There. Oh hold up." she saw from the moon light there were a few water spots on his goggles. "Close your eyes." she reached behind his head gently taking the band that held the goggles off. For a second she looked at his face, eyes shut tightly and bangs slight touching his eyebrows. She snapped out of it and absorbed the water from his goggles. "Here ya go." she placed them back on. A strand of brown hair hung over the red lensed goggles and she brushed it aside. Scott reached up taking her hand down and staired at her. "Scott, do you like my hands?"

"What?"

"You haven't let go of them,"

Instead of answering he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. Lyric had no problem with accepting the gesture. His toung glazed her teeth until she opened her mouth the rest of the way and he put it in. She returned her toung to his mouth gently rubbing hers to his. He moved his hands up to face running his fingers through her dark blue hair. He was about to move ontop of her but stopped because he didn't know if she wanted what he wanted. She pulled away.

"Why'd you stop?"

"I..I didn't know if you wanted it,"

"I do Scott, because...I..I'm in love with you Scott,"

A smile graced his lips. "I..I love you too." he had only said that to one person and that was Jean, but in his mind she didn't even exsist.

"Finish.." she streached her legs out as he moved in for another kiss. He moved his body to ontop of her but not putting his weight on her yet. He moved his hands from holding himself up to her back. He pulled at the fabric of her tanktop and pulled it off reveling her bare chest. He bent down kissing from her bellybutton to her lips again. She giggled when he kissed her neck but continued kissing him back. She reached behind him too and started to pull his shirt off, as the fabric starting coming over his head he talked through the kiss with a smile.

"Goggles,"

She laughed. "I know." she carefully pulled the shirt off and through it to the ground. She arched up and kissed his collar bone to his cheek bone. He gently place his hands at her waist pulling her pajama bottoms and underwear down her legs together and she kicked them off. There was only on thing keeping them apart from each other. Lyric gently put her fingers on the rim of his boxer shorts and put her hand inside them as if getting a sneak preview. She then took her hand out gently grazing his member. She then put her figers on the rim and pulled them down to his knees and he kicked them to the floor. Before entereing her he stopped. "What?" she asked out of breath from only kissing.

"Are you sure you want this?"

"Scott I want this more than anything in the world," she placed her hand on the back of his head and pulled him in for a kiss. He was about to enter her when she stopped.

"What?"

"Do you have any...uh..."

He knew what she was talking about. "Yeah." he reached for his nightstand drawer and pulled out a small square package. "We lucked out. Last one." he was about to open it when she put her hand on his.

"Let me do it," she opened the package and threw the paper to the floor. She took the long rubber object and slowly slid it on him. "Now we're ready."

"You're sure?" he chuckled.

"Positive," she kissed him deeply as he slowly, and gently entered her. She put her hands on his shoulders lightly scratching them. He started to move up and down and she joined the rhythem. She had, had sex before but nothing like this. Nothing with so much love.

Unknowing to them balls of water started floating around the room in the form of hearts and snowflakes. Their rhythm got a little faster but was still at a moderate pace. "Oh Scott..." Lyric moaned. She kissed his neck and shoulders still gripping them.

"Lyric...oh god...Lyric..." he spread kisses down her neck and chest. "Lyric...I can't go on much longer." he managed to say. She didn't aknowlegd him but continued the kissing. Soon both of them hit their climax and everything froze. The hearts and snowflakes melted away. Scott came out of her and she inhaled deeply. He bent down and lightly kissed her lips. She turned to her side facing him. She looked deeply at his face seeing sweat on his face. She put her hand to his cheek and abosrobed the sweat. He brushed the strand of white hair from her face.

"What are you gonna tell Jean?" that question had been bothing her for a while.

"That I'm in love with someone else," he kissed her again and pulled the sheet over their sweat drenched bodies.

"I love you Scott, and thank you,"

"For what?"

"Loving me," she snuggled close to him buring her face in his chest and the moon peek through the clouds looking at the two lovers intwined together as they drifted to sleep.
