Do You See What I See?

The subject was biology and Amanda, Kurt, Rogue and I were all in my room studying for a test tomorrow.

We were nearly finished when Scott came and drug Kurt off for some reason or another.

That just left us girls lying in our various positions on my bed or floor.

Anyone who's ever attended a slumber party knows that girls left on their own in the intimacy of a bedroom with the door tightly shut tend to get in trouble.

Not the kind of trouble guys always fantasize about, the kind of trouble that leaves teenaged girls alternately blushing and giggling for weeks to follow.

Somehow I doubt I'll ever stop doing anything but blush cherry red every time I think of our conversation or my actions following it.

~*~

"Where do you suppose they're going?" I asked Rogue.

"Who knows with them." She replied with a shrug.

"Do you think they'll be gone long?" Amanda asks.

"It's hard to tell. We're pretty much done studying, so there's really no reason for them to come back." Rogue answered.

"Oh." Amanda looked down at her books on the floor, "I guess I should head on home now."

"No, don't. Kurt would never just leave you here and not come back to take you home. We can find something to do until they come back." I implored.

Kurt and Amanda had gotten very close and I totally wanted her to feel included in our group. She was a really special girl, accepting all of us without fear or hesitation. Rogue speculated that she had to be hiding some mutation of her own, but even if she was I didn't care. Kurt was so happy with her.

The girl on the floor smiled up at me on the bed and asked, "Like what?"

Rogue flipped over onto her side beside me on the mattress, causing me to bounce to the edge.

"Yeah, like what Kitty?" she seconded.

"I don't know. We could talk or play a game?"

"Oooo, like truth or dare?" Amanda sat up.

"When did this become a slumber party?" Rogue asked her.

"Truth or dare is a great game and it isn't just played at slumber parties," Amanda defended.

I shot Rogue a glare and sat up. "Sounds like a great idea. Who wants to start?"

Sighing and rolling her eyes, Rogue sat up as well.

"I don't know. Do either of you want to start off?" Amanda replies.

"I will, if you will. Truth or dare, Amanda?" Rogue asked.

The girl thought about it for a moment before hesitantly saying, "Dare."

Seeing the wicked gleam in my friend's eye at that answer, I elbowed her swiftly in the ribs to knock whatever dare she'd been thinking off out of her head.

She glared at me for trying to stop her fun then remembered that Amanda was really an ok person and deserved a break. At least on the first round.

"Ok," she gave her potential dare some thought, "I dare you to rip up Kurt's geometry homework."

"Rogue," I said warningly, because such a dare was unfair to Kurt, as he wasn't there.

"Ok, ok, I dare you to take Kurt's geometry homework home with you. Let the little elf sweat it out until class tomorrow."

"Why do you people call him that?" Amanda asked as without hesitation she removed the chosen homework from Kurt's backpack and put it in her own.

"Not all of us do. It's mostly Logan and Rogue here tends to pick up his bad habits." I answered. "Neither of them mean it as an insult though."

Rogue gave me a look that said that last statement wasn't completely true for which I glared at her to keep her mouth shut.

"So it's my turn now?" Amanda asked.

Rogue and I nodded as the girl on the floor tilted her head to the side, obviously debating which of us to challenge.

"Rogue," my opinion of the girl shot upward at that show of courage, "truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Ok, I dare you to re-arrange Kitty's cd collection."

"Hey." I exclaimed at the thought of my carefully alphabetized collection being thrown out of order.

Before I could say anything more, a smiling Rogue jumped off the bed and began pulling CD cases from their shelf beside my stereo. Kneeling on the floor, she shuffled them all together and began picking them up randomly to place back on that shelf.

"Rogue!" I jumped up and raced over to stop her doing more damage.

Anticipating such a reaction, both the other girls started practically rolling on the floor laughing.

"Ugh, sure, very funny. I'll have you both putting them back in order before you leave."

They exchanged a look that said regardless of how much I glared and ordered, that wasn't going to happen.

Sighing, I sat back down on the bed.

"Ok, Rogue, your turn to ask me, if you can stop with your Hyena impersonation."

That got me a glare from my friend as she moved to sit beside Amanda on the floor.

"Truth or dare, Kitty-Cat?"

"Truth and don't call me that."

"Ok, truth. How far have you gone with Lance?" Rogue questions.

"I haven't – "

"Truth, Kitty." Both girls said.

Glaring for the first time ever at Amanda, I wondered where her loyalty was to me, the one who'd protected her from some vicious Rogue dare.

"Kissing and petting, but I'm so done with him and that's all that will ever happen."

"What kind of petting?" Rogue demanded.

"You only get one question a turn and I already gave my answer."

"That answer didn't answer original question. Rogue asked "how far" you'd gone and "petting" is too vague. "Petting" can go pretty far." Amanda said.

"Whose side are you on?!"

"There are no sides, Kitty, it's just a game. I want to make sure the game is played fairly."

Rogue laughed at that and gave Amanda a high-five.

Groaning, I braced myself to give the only answer that would satisfy them.

"Ok, we've kissed. Pecks on the lips and cheeks as well as frenching. We've done some necking, too, and I gave him a hickey once. I told him I'd dismember him if he ever did that to me. The petting was pretty innocent. Under the clothes up top, but over the clothes down below. It all stopped when he couldn't seem to keep him hands from trying to unzip my jeans."

That was definitely a complete answer and they had to bite back more questions about my relationship with Avalanche.

"My turn now." I smiled.

"Amanda, since you took a dare last time you have to do a truth this round."

Looking nervous, the black girl nodded.

"How far have you and Kurt gone?"

Rogue appeared eager to know that as well, and we both focused our gazes on the other girl.

"All the way." She confessed with a blush.

"What?!" Rogue and I asked in sync.

"Kurt and I have gone all the way."

"How?!" we again demanded simultaneously.

"I should think with the subject we've been studying all night, you guys would know that." The girl quipped.

"Not that how. How'd you find time and a place to do it?" Rogue asked.

Amanda had no embarrassment about her relationship with Kurt, apparently. She answered Rogue's question honestly though she didn't have to.

"Well, when you've got a boyfriend that can literally take you just about anywhere you want to go in the blink of an eye, you're able to find time and places to do…things." She smiled as she appeared to be thinking of some of those things.

"Ok, snap out of it. It's your turn to ask again." I said, waving a hand in front of the daydreaming girl's face after she'd sat there for a full minute simply reminiscing about Kurt.

She blushed again, making me vow silently to ask her exactly what she'd been thinking of at that moment the next time she asked for a truth.

"Ummm, Rogue," she decided to repeat the pattern from the last round, "since you have to take a truth, I want to know who you most want to go all the way with."

Scoffing, I looked at Amanda, "That's so obvious. The answer is Scott."

"No, it isn't." Rogue said quietly with a blush.

Rogue, blushing?!

Oh, this had to be good.

"Is it Gambit?" I ask.

"He sure is something to look at, but no."

"Hmmm… what about Ray?" Amanda asked.

"No, I so am not interesting in cradle robbing."

"He's only what, two years younger than you? That isn't cradle robbing, it's picking them while they're still fresh." Amanda countered.

"Amanda!" Rogue and I gasped.

"What? My father's always saying that's what he did with mom and it's only fair that we be able to do it with guys if we choose."

She had a good point there, so I let the subject drop and started thinking more about the object of Rogue's affection.

"Oh, my God. Is it Lance?"

"While physically I see what attracted you to him, I've no idea how anyone could get past his ego and attitude."

"Well, if ego is a turn-off, Pietro isn't the answer." Amanda speculated.

"HA! He so isn't even near a possibility."

"It is someone we know, isn't it?" I had to ask.

"Yes."

"Is it a celebrity?" Amanda ventured.

"He's very well known in some circles, but he isn't a famous person."

"When did this become twenty questions?" I demanded. "Rogue, answer Amanda's question, who do you most want to go all the way with?!"

"Rrrrrowl, someone step on the kitty's tail?" Rogue teased.

"Come on, Rogue, we both answered questions," Amanda prodded.

"Ok, ok." She sighed and ducked her head so her short hair hung over her face.

"Logan."

The word was mumbled and I was sure I'd misheard her.

"Who?" Amanda and I both asked.

"Logan," she said a little louder, not lifting her head.

"Who?" we asked again, not believing our ears.

"Logan, ok?" she threw her head back and nearly shouted that time.

"Logan?!" we chirped together liked trained parrots.

"Yes," she again lowered her voice "I'd most like to go all the way with Logan. Are you satisfied now?"

WOW.

I thought the word while Amanda spoke it.

Rogue glared at us both, promising death to the first one to say anything else about her answer.

"So…um… Rogue, it's your turn again." I stammered.

"Oh, yeah. A dare this time, isn't it?" the girl's embarrassment was replaced with a look of wicked glee.

Gulping, I nod.

"I want you all to see why I want Logan. I dare you to phase into his bedroom while he's sleeping."

Amanda started laughing at that, obviously loving the dare, while my only reaction was to gape at Rogue in shock.

"Huh?"

"I dare you to take Amanda and phase into Logan's bedroom while he's sleeping."

"How did I get involved in the dare?" Amanda asked.

"You both have to see it to believe it."

"See what?" I asked.

"Logan's goodies. What makes me want him to be the one I go all the way with."

"How will going into his room while he sleeps do that?" I asked.

"How will our seeing his … goodies … make us understand why you want Logan?" asked Amanda at the same time.

Rogue ignored my question and answered Amanda's. "You'll know when see them."

"You say that like you've seen them." I say.

"I have."

"WHAT?!" Amanda and I shouted.

"Whoa, there. We don't want everyone rushing in on this conversation, now do we?"

Rogue gave us a look indicating we needed to just sit there and shut up while she jumped to her feet to make sure no one was approaching my room after our shouts. She stared out into the hallway for a few moments, making sure no one had been bothered, then shut the door and sat back down.

"Ok, about a month ago I was having a really nasty nightmare and after that day I went all crazy with the freaks I'd absorbed, Logan had become someone I could go to when I can't sleep. So, I went to his room and just walked inside, 'cause he'd told me I could do that any time, and there he was. He was asleep and had thrown his covers off and was just laying there on his bed with the moonlight shining on him like a spotlight."

"So, that doesn't explain how – " I began.

"Did I fail to mention he sleeps in the nude? Not a stitch of clothing covering so much as an inch of his gorgeous body?"

Oh, my God.

I could actually almost picture him just as she described him.

My God, it was like…Mr. Logan, I couldn't be picturing him like…that!

Shaking the picture from my head, I turned to Rogue, "And you want me to phase us into his bedroom when he's asleep hoping for a repeat performance?"

"Yep and he should be snoring away right this minute."

"How would you know that?" Amanda asked.

"He had a fight with Sabertooth today and got a little banged up while beating the crap out of the hairy bastard. He'll be sleeping sound right about now to recover the energy spent fighting and healing."

"You know him that well, huh?" I asked, for the first time noticing how my friend's expression changed as she spoke about or thought of Logan.

"Yeah." She replied with another blush.

"Let's do it, Kitty." Amanda said suddenly jumping to her feet.

"What?" I asked, confused as the girl began pulling at me to stand up.

"I want to go see." She said, a gleam in her dark brown eyes.

"What about Kurt?" I tried stalling.

"What about him? It's not like I'm going to get into bed with Logan or anything, I just want to take in another anatomy lesson for biology tomorrow."

"Yeah, Kitty, why are you hesitating?" Rogue joined in.

Because if I see Mr. Logan naked I'll never be able to think of him as "Mr" Logan again.

"Come on, Kitty, just a peek?" Amanda pleaded.

Unable to fight her eagerness and my own reluctant curiosity, I nodded.

"Ok, no matter what we see no one makes a sound. I don't ever want him to know about this, you got that?" I ordered.

Both girls nodded with expressions that said they totally felt the same way about that.

"I'm only taking us in for a peek, if that isn't good enough for either of you, I phase back out without you."

Again they nodded as they latched on to my shoulders and urged me to start taking us all through the walls to Logan's bedroom.

He was located all the way across the mansion, away from the students, and I made the journey slowly.

Before reaching his door, I stopped and turned to the other girls, "Are you sure we want to do this?"

They both nodded enthusiastically and I admitted I was stuck going through with this dare no matter what now.

Taking a deep breath, I quickly phased us into the room.

I guess you could say we were fortunate that there was a full moon out tonight, shining it's blue-white light into the bedroom and directly onto the man lying in the bed.

The naked man lying in the bed.

The naked, uncovered man lying in the bed.

The naked, uncovered and unbelievably well endowed man lying in the bed.

The gorgeously naked….

Rogue's hand squeezed my shoulder tight and jerked my from my repeating thoughts.

"Get us outta here." She demanded in a very low whisper directly beside my ear.

I then noticed Amanda pulling anxiously at my other shoulder, trying to get me to take them both back through the door.

At that very moment though, Logan shifted on the bed, parting his legs and giving me an even better view of his …. goodies.

WOW.

Another movement by the man I was gazing at so intently pushed Rogue and Amanda into panicked motion.

They tried to drag me through the door, but found my mutation didn't work that way. I had to go through an obstacle first before anyone holding onto me could.

Once they realized I was rooted firmly where I stood, burning the image of naked Logan into my mind forever for detailed fantasies that were sure to follow me the rest of my life, the girls abandoned me.

The sounds of the door opening and their feet running through it, startled Logan awake the exact same second they broke the spell and my brain ordered my body to follow them in fleeing the room.

"Hold it right there, half-pint." Came a firmly growled order from the bed now behind me.

OhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGod.

He's gonna kill me.

OhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGod.

Frozen in place, I heard the bed creak as he lifted his heavy, adamantium filled body from it. With those thoughts of death by six deadly foot-long razor sharp blades running through my mind, I decided to ignore his command.

His hand clapped down on my shoulder, but I'd made my decision and I phased right through it and ran for my life.

Back in my room, I locked my bedroom door before sliding down it to sit with a thud on the floor.

"So now you see what I see, don't you?" Rogue asked.

Dazed and winded from running and the sight her question conjured up, I could only nod.

"Just remember who saw it first," the girl threatened, beginning to worry about the effect nude-Logan had had on me.

I was about to nod, when a knock on my bedroom door made me scream instead.

"Oh, God, it's HIM!" we all gasped.

"Vhat ist vrong vith you girls?" Kurt asked as he teleported into the room after that knock.

"Was that you?" Amanda asked.

"Vas vhat me, sveety?" he asked, completely oblivious about what we'd done.

"The knock, was that you?"

"Of course. Kitty ist alvays yellink at me if I do not knock before porting into her room, so I knock."

We all sighed in relief at that, making Kurt look at us puzzled.

"Vhat vere you doink in here vhile I vas gone?"

"Nothing!" we all shouted.

Not believing us for a second, he reluctantly allowed Amanda to shove his backpack into his arms and drag him from the room to take her home.

Rogue and I shared a look of worry before looking out into the hallway as the couple left the room.

"Coast is clear." Rogue said sighing in relief.

"For now. You know he won't let us get away with it."

"Us? You're the only one he caught."

Jaw dropping, I turned on my friend, "It was all your idea and your fault."

"Maybe, but he doesn't know that."

"I'm not going down for this alone!"

"No one is going to "go down" for this. I mean, it's Logan. I'm sure he'll want to forget the whole thing ever happened."

"Really?" I hope so.

"Of course. The worst that could happen is he demand an explanation and all you have to tell him is it was a dare. He'll give you that raised brow and you-expect-me-to-believe-that-bull look then let the matter drop."

She said it with such confidence I relaxed.

I didn't even rush to scan the halls when she eventually gathered her things and left for her own room. Logan didn't knock while I prepared for bed and climbed in to sleep, so I stopped worrying.

Rogue was right, Logan would be cool about the incident. He handled all the crazy things around here with ease and little more than that arched brow and look she'd mentioned.

Sighing, I snuggled under my covers and into my pillows to think about what else my friend had been right about.

"You'll know when see them."

I've seen them.

And goodness gracious did I know now what made Rogue want the Wolverine above all the others we knew from school and being members of the X-Men.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm working feverishly to follow this up with a delightful chapter in which Logan demands his explanation, but it just isn't coming together yet.

Please don't hurt me for going ahead and putting this up, as it really kinda stands on it's own. :-)

Any readers want more details on the Kurt & Amanda relationship?

How about details, details, details about Kitty and Lance's petting sessions and if they're really over?

Wondering what exactly Scott grabbed Kurt for and kept him away while the girls got into this mess?

Want more than a vague reference to my favorite character's "goodies?"

These things and more will be brought to you in future fictions if you so desire. *bows and leave the forum for the night*

Side Note: I'm unsure whether I'll upload the next installment as a chapter or sequel separate from this piece. It will all depend on the rating the final result merits. If the answer Logan demands and gets leads to what all thoughts of Logan tend to lead to, the next piece will need an R rating, not a safe lil PG. *laughs wickedly as more of the story take shape in my twisted little mind*
