I held him against the lockers just glaring at him. Even through his ruby
quartz lenses I could see he was afraid. The halls were hushed as we were
just gaped at. I could feel Keith and Jordan trying to pull me away from
Summers, but I just shook them off. My last nerve was gone. He could catch
me cheating, he could haunt me with confusion, he could hit me, he could
insult me, but I was not going to stand around as he brought Cami into it.
I thought he'd been an ok guy, I thought he'd leave my sophomore sister out
of our stupid rivalry. I knew he'd meant to run into her like that, I knew
he was doing it to get to me, and I knew it had worked.
"What the fuck was that, huh?"
"Get your hands off me, Alvers," He growled trying to push me off. Sorry, Cykes, no such luck. I swear I could see his eyes through the crimson, windows into his soul. I could see into the part of him who remembered finding his own sibling after years separated, how he wouldn't have appreciated Alex being drawn into any of this, how he knew just what was all going on, how he knew I hurt because my own lost sibling was already dragged in, and he was sorry.
"Lance," I glanced back to see Cami checking her over to make sure she was ok, besides for being a bit dusty from the floor she was, "it's ok, I'm fine, Pietro broke my fall." Come to think of it he had, she'd been pushed right back into Pietro and they'd both fallen backwards onto the floor. Pietro was just getting up and dusted himself off.
I just looked at her for a second, and that gave Summers his chance. Flesh hit flesh and through that bone hit bone as he swung. My head snapped to the right as he hit me. Pretty soon it all just snapped and one minute Summers and I were on the ground trying to kill each other, the next I was being held by the collar by Fred and he was holding Summers with the other arm, and then Principal Kelly came into the situation. Immediately the crowd around us dispersed.
"You two, my office, NOW!" The Principal snapped pointing in the direction we needed to go. "I'll be with you as soon as I figure out just what happened." Fred let us go and was about to follow when I waved him off.
"We'll be ok," I told him starting on the well-known path to the office. I turned my head half way back to see a confused Fred and Angela taking his arm and leading him toward the cafeteria. Once into Kelly's office I turned on Summers, but verbally this time. "What the hell was that? She's my little sister and you've got no right dragging her into our rivalry whatever it is!" I wanted to hit him over the head but sat in one of the chairs and crossed my arms. "I don't even know why we even have this thing anymore! It's not like the Brotherhood really exists anymore. It's us in a house with Irene as our guidance councilor or something trying to be normal. But I'm a mutant so I'm probably going to be killed so normal isn't possible." Did they have any idea just what had been going on outside of Bayville? Like that one guy being strung on a barbed-wire because he was a mutant and another being dragged to his death behind a truck.
"You think I don't want to just be normal? You aren't the one who has to wear fucking sunglasses or blow a hole in the roof!" He had a point there. "I've no clue what you do in that house of yours but I wish I was there instead of being trained to be some superhero I don't want to be!" He looked me straight in the eyes frowning with his knuckles turning white as he gripped the arms of the chair and I realized that it had been Scott, not Cyclops, talking just now. "I'm not suppose to want to be you." And Cyclops was back.
His face was so close to mine. I could feel the heat generated by his anger and nearly taste is lips. I wonder what they did taste like, if his lips were chapped or soft if I did kiss him if he'd return it, then I wondered why the hell was I thinking like this. I leaned forward without thinking, ever so slowly, until my lips were simply resting against his. They were lightly chapped but not as much as mine were and when he didn't make a move forward or back I ventured a bit further by lightly nibbling on his bottom lip.
Push me away, damn it, or if not that come closer. Just do something! I mentally tried to tell Scott. I'd never kissed a guy before, plenty of girls, but Scott was the first guy. He was the first person I'd ever kissed that I was looking for more than someone to simply fool around with. I drew back after about 30 seconds and sat there waiting for him to say something. I could see the argument that was going on in his head by simply watching his blank stare. Then he carefully touched his lips looking extremely confused.
"I'm not suppose to want to be you," the X-men's leader near inaudibly spoke, "but that doesn't mean I'm not suppose to want to be with you." And with that he pressed his lips to mine. My arms looped around his waist as he knelt onto the chair with his knees supporting his weight. It all seemed kind of clear now, we'd been such enemies since we were so a like and on different sides so every thought had to be ignored, dream shuttered at. Now though, I really wasn't on a side, problem solved. Well. Maybe not but I was thinking too much.
"I hope you two…" Scott suddenly sprung away from me like the opening of the door would make me explode. Now there was an interesting thought. Principal Kelly stood in the doorway in shock. "Have a good explanation." He managed to finish before clearing his throat and walking over to his desk. Scott was looking at his feet and kicking the ground and I'd slouched into the chair as I usually did in this office. "Clearly you two have some issues to work out."
"Principal Kelly, it's not what it looks like," Scott tried.
"You were making out with Mr. Alvers in my office."
"Ok, apparently it was." Scott replied and I could see the worry on his face. Reputation destroyed, he was going to have one hell of a time at the institute. "You won't say anything." I almost laughed as he seemed to be trying to use the Jedi mind trick.
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Alvers, I will not mention anything about your little… issue," why was he calling it an 'issue'? "But for your fight in the hallway you're both suspended for the rest of the week. I think that's fair since you both are suppose to be examples, especially you Mr. Summers, you caused half the student body to be truant, and it should give you time to work whatever that was out." I raised my hand. "Yes Mr. Alvers."
"Sure it was only half the student body?" I couldn't resist.
"Yes, now both of you out of my sight before I decide to also give you detention once you get back!" Oh yeah, I'd pushed him to the edge. "That means now!" Ok, time to scram. I got up and walked out of the office.
"So…" Outside the office in the empty halls Scott stopped and turned to me. "Uh, well, you know, just leave me alone."
"I don't think you want that," I told him steadily. Mind control that's what was going on, I couldn't be sure when he'd gotten enough freedom to speak. I knew back in the office had been though. Xavier would not have his fearless leader of mind controlled drones kissing the enemy.
"Look, I don't know what I want but…" I grabbed his arm and dragged him down the hall.
"You may not know what you want, but you did say you wanted to be at my place instead of yours, so I'm going to introduce you to Irene." I turned to face him and made it clear I wasn't changing my mind. "Come on, and I warn you to not touch any of the plants or Lily might take your head off." I dragged him down the hall and to my jeep. Pietro, Fred, Todd, and Cami could always get a ride with Keith or Jordan. The ride there was quiet. Not that it really mattered.
"Irene," I opened the door and stepped into the quiet house just as Scott turned to leave. I absently grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him in. Irene sat in her chair In the corner, the ivy that Lily had put on the window creating light patterns on the floor.
"Lance, what happened this time?" She said turning off the radio. Channel 5 had a radio station and broadcasted they're programs over it.
"Oh, just got in a fight and sent home. Have any shopping to do while everyone else is out of the house?" That's what happened when I got sent home or skipped a class or something, we'd go grocery shopping since there were twelve teens living in one house with a guardian who was blind and didn't like to go to stores or crowded places without someone.
"Um… Lance?" Wait… that was my first name, how'd I get from Alvers to Lance? Wow, one kiss was pretty strong. I covered Scott's mouth with my hand without even looking back.
"Scott, I didn't realize you were there. I think I'll go outside for a while." So she now knew we needed to talk and was leaving. Perfect, alone with someone I had no idea what to say to. Thanks a lot, Irene.
"So are we going to talk or stand here?" My mind sighed at Scott's tone, just when had he gotten so moody?
((A/N: My first true slash. Yay *hugs Lance and Scott* Sorry if you don't like my original characters, but I do. Just uh… I don't know pretend they aren't there. It's just that I don't like the Evo girls. Rogue is bitchy, Kitty is ditzy, and Jean is prissy. They're too typical of girls. They sort of did it on Digimon too… plus I'm a Kurtty fan, I hate Jean, and yeah that about sums it up. Now I'm rambling so just keep a look out for the next chapter.))
