5:00 AM
Emma sat straight up in bed. "Five am." She touched her forehead and found it uninjured.
"No cut."
She jumped up and left her room, clad in the track pants and a singlet top which comprised her pajamas. Logan's room was in the other wing of the house with the boys. She walked quickly.
She didn't knock, slipping inside almost soundlessly. Logan quickly woke. "Who's there?"
Emma didn't say anything. She suddenly couldn't think of anything *to* say. Familiar fear gripped her throat.
"Emma? What is it?" She couldn't see his face.
A tear slipped down her cheek. "You... You died for me."
"What are you talking about?"
She took a few steps closer. //Of course he doesn't know what I'm talking about... It hasn't happened yet.// "You would die for me." More tears followed the first, and her voice was hoarse.
"Yes." His was soft.
Emma sniffed and wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand. "Why?"
"I don't know. I'm better with you. I don't remember what it was like without you."
Emma slowly approached the bed and carefully sat down. She was closer to Logan now that she had been in months. He was on the other side of the bed, and she could sense his presence more than see it.
"I'm... I'm sorry. But I am scared."
"Emma, I -"
"Wait, let me finish." She sniffed again and took a deep breath. "I'm scared. I'm confused. But I love you, and you would *die* for me, and that's something I can't let go."
Emma carefully lifted the covers and slid beneath them, lying down on her side to face him. After a moment, Logan did the same.
He held out his hand. Emma looked at it for a moment and then put hers in his.
"I need time."
He nodded.
******************
Storm and the young mutants waited in the Danger Room. Logan was fifteen minutes late. This worried her a little. Logan was *never* late.
Now that she thought about it, Ororo noticed that Emma was missing as well. She sternly (and somewhat optimistically) warned the teenagers to wait and not mess with anything while she went upstairs. She checked Emma's room first, and found it empty.
Logan's door was slightly ajar, and she nudged it open. Emma and Logan was asleep, her hand held between his. She smiled and shut the door.
She sighed as she went back down to the lower levels. "I suppose this means I'll be driving them to school today. I wish it was a Snow Day."
Finis.
Yes, that is the end. As for a next one... That (as always) depends on if you guys want another, and there are a few things that are left loose from this and the other fics. I just can't really think of a good storyline to tie them together yet. =] Any suggestions are VERY welcome.
