A/N: I have nuttin to say. (
Jean practically floated back to her room, on cloud 9. Scott had just asked her to the dance! Did that mean that he was still interested in her??? Suddenly, she changed directions, feeling mischievous, and headed to the kitchen. It would take Kitty a bit longer to find her there. She opened the freezer and grabbed a carton of ice cream and a spoon, and sat down at the table, a wide smile on her face. And not a second later, Kitty appeared through the refrigerator.
Seeing the smile on Jean's face, Kitty immediately exclaimed, "Omigosh!!! He asked you to the dance didn't he!?" Jean's smile grew wider. With a loud squeal, Kitty rushed off to tell the other Xmen. Jean grinned like an excited 10-year-old, not one bit ashamed of herself.
In a puff of brimstone, Kurt bamfed into Scott's room, where Scott was trying to decide what to wear to the dance. Apparently, Kitty had told him that he was going to the dance with Jean.
"So, you got yourself a hot date?" Kurt asked, waggling his eyebrows. Scott watched his dancing eyebrows amusedly.
"I suppose, if that's how you want to put it," Scott said, hiding a smile.
"Need some manly advice?"
This time Scott couldn't help but suppress a laugh. "And what kind of advice would you give me?"
"What stuff to do when?" Kurt said suggestively. "OK. When are you supposed to kiss her?"
Scott was truly surprised by his question. "Kurt! For one thing, that's private, and for another, she just broke up with Duncan, and I don't know if she wants to get into another relationship yet!"
Kurt shook his head sadly at the inexperience senior. "You see? That's the wrong answer! You should be saying, maybe while you guys are taking a walk outside somewhere at the end of the dance, or right before you let her go into her room after the dance!"
Scott sighed. This was going to be on looong afternoon.
Right before they leave for the dance.
Scott paced the entrance to the mansion, waiting for Jean and the others that were going to the dance to show up. One by one, they trickled in, until only Jean was left. Hearing footsteps at the top of the staircase, he snapped his head up. He inhaled sharply. Jean looked beautiful, with her long red hair flowing gently down her back, in soft curls. She was wearing a white blouse with a light blue skirt (A/N: im just kinda guessing here..im not very sure of Jean's wardrobe-), and had on a touch of make-up on. He smiled softly up at her, and she smiled back.
he sent through their link. Scott knew she had heard him when a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she looked at him.
"C'mon Scott! Let's go!" Evan whined. He actually had a date this time, to the surprise of the other X-men. As the others stifled snickers, Scott offered his arm to Jean, and she accepted it.
In no time at all, they had reached the BHS gym. They all went their separate ways, Kitty and Kurt giving Scott and Jean, who were the last ones out of the car, suggestive smiles/winks. Both Scott and Jean rolled their eyes simultaneously, then, holding hands, walked inside.
"Let's go dance, Scott!" Jean pulled him out to the dance floor, where Kitty, Lance, Kurt, Amanda, Evan, and his date were already dancing. At first, Scott had been shaky about dancing, but after a few songs, he finally got his groove on, and moved his body to the beat of the music. (A/N: wish I could do that myself.XE) But after dancing to what seemed like a million fast songs and about one slow song, both of them were tired out, and decided to head out to the courtyard.
Jean spoke up first. "Scott, did you ask me to the dance as just friends, or as more than friends?"
Scott hesitated before cautiously answering, "What would you like it to be?"
"I-I don't know," Jean confessed. "I mean, at first, I thought you were asking me as a friend, but then-I just don't know," Not knowing what to say, Scott stayed silent.
"Can I skim through your mind?" she suddenly asked. "I mean, you don't have to, but can you let me this once?" Confused, Scott nodded slowly, as he had nothing to hide from her, presuming that she already knew his feelings for her. A few seconds later, he could feel Jean's presence in his head, a little more than she usually was through their link.
Jean searched through his head, until she found what she needed. Elated that Scott harbored the same feelings for her as she did for him, she threw her arms around him. After a second of surprise, Scott returned the embrace.
"I'd like it if it was more than friends," Jean said softly, blushing and smiling slightly as she drew away from him. Scott's face split into a relaxed grin.
"I think Kitty's going to be pretty proud of herself when she finds out about us," he half-joked. When he looked into her eyes, Scott was surprised to see a mischievous glint in them.
"How about we don't tell them, and see how long it takes them to figure out?" she grinned.
Scott laughed, then snuck his hand into Jean's and squeezed it gently, then led her back to the gym.
Later on that night.
After the dance, Scott had driven a car full of chattering X-men, excluding him and Jean, back to the mansion. He was walking her to her room, when Kurt's voice popped into his head.
"You see? That's the wrong answer! You should be saying, maybe while you guys are taking a walk outside somewhere at the end of the dance, or right before you let her go into her room after the dance!"
*OK, Kurt. Let's see if your advice is good * he thought, smirking inwardly. Jean stopped in front of him, and he realized that they had reached her room.
"Thanks for taking me to the dance, Scott," Jean murmured.
He smiled down at her. "No problem. No problem at all," She giggled softly, to his amusement.
Seizing his chance, he lowered his head and captured her lips with his.
