Silence heard the doors slam and ran faster. Since when did she run like that. He almost fell down the stairs in his hurry, pulling the door open. He saw a black blob on the snow a little way away. Thinking it was Twist, he had the sense to grab his long coat, before running after her.

He fell to his knees by her side, wrapping the coat round her freezing body. Her movements seemed strange and uncoordinated. Frowning he scooped her up in his arms, holding her too him - he was still warm.

"S..Silence..." Twist started, her numb fingers trying to hold onto him, but couldn't.

Silence felt sadness as he shook his head, and rose to his feet. He himself was freezing to death now, but he managed to carry Twist back to the house and inside.

He found more blankets and wrapped them round her, leaving her on the sofa breifly, before coming back with hot tea. She refused it, curling in on herself instead.

"Feannan...Please drink it? I want you to feel better..." he mumbled, sitting on the sofa with her. He gently guided her towards him so that she'd sit on his lap.

"It...it hurts." she whispered to him, trembling. All the heat was rushing back into her now, making her skin prick all over.

"It'll get better, baby." he mumbled, resting his chin on top of her head, holding her tightly as he could without hurting her. He shut his eyes.

Twist shook her head, before forcing out more words. "What...what happened...? What did I do back there?" she asked in a whisper still, raising her red eyes to meet his.

"You.." he was silent for a moment. "you created all this wind, while you sleeping. It destroyed your dorm and some of the others...It was like a hurricane inside, and as soon as we realised it was you, Alyx woke you up." he muttered, feeling annoyed with himself for getting scared.

"You were mad at me." she pointed out quietly, and he raised his eyebrows.

"No, never." he responded immediateley, then sighed, watching the fire flicker away. "I was scared."

Twist shivered, though now it had more to do with his words. She moved away from him, shakily standing up. "I'm sorry." she muttered, dropping the blankets and walking away.

"Wait, Feannan!" he called, hurrying after her and trying to grab onto her waist, pulling her to a stop. "I didn't mean that." he said quickly, trying to cuddle her. She shrugged him away. "Feannan..."

"I need to sleep." she mumbled, feeling deadly tired. She glanced at him, meeting his perfect eyes. He frowned and stepped close to her again, slipping his arms round her waist from behind.

"I'm sorry, Feannan...Stay with me tonight?" he mumbled, holding her tight to him. She was quiet for a moment, moving her head towards him.

"Okay."

Silence gave her a gentle squeeze. "Good...Now come upstairs, I'm getting jealous with you standing half naked here." he smiled and kissed her neck gently. He held her tightly, then they started upstairs. He lead her into his room and wrapped the sheets round her. He sat down next to her, holding her warmer body in his arms, in his lap. He cradled her against him, occasionally kissing her but mostly just holding her as tight as he could without crushing her.

Smiling, they eventually lay down together, her asleep. He stroked her soft hair back from her face. It struck her then just how nice she smelt. He grinned when a noise came from near the door.

There was a knocked. Frowning, he jumped up, tucking the sheets round Twist, and going to the door. He yanked it open, ready to argue, then he stopped, seeing Xavier and some other teachers.

"What?" he mumbled, confused. He glanced back at Twist, then returning his gaze to the group gathered by his door. "What do you want, its the middle of the night." he stated.

"Is she asleep?" Nightcrawler, Kurt, suddenly asked sounding worried.

Silence nodded, still confused. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Storm needs to check something." Xavier said, and Storm slipped inside, pushing Silence out and shutting the door. Feeling nervous he tried the door but the Professor frowned. "Boyd, please. Leave her be for a few moments."

"No! What is Storm doing to her?!" he asked, glaring at the professor and trying to force the door open.

"Stop that, please." he said, quelling Silence's actions.

"You are a control freak."

Xavier smiled. "That, I am not. What Storm is doing is necessary."

Silence felt his frustration rise. "Well tell me what she's doing to Feannan then!!" he half shouted, forgetting it was late.

"Storm is simply checking that Magneto, or more likely Mystique didn't do anything to you're Feannan." he said, smiling as he watched Silence's cheeks pinken with the embarrassment of Xavier reading his mind. He was quiet. "Twist was quite distressed when she returned home the other day, Storm is merely checking that nothing happened that she forgot to mention."

"She would've told me." Silence blurted out before realising what he'd said. She would've told him, right?

Xavier raised an eyebrow, smiling at Storm as she came out. "She's fine." she mumbled with a slight sigh of relief.

Silence nodded and rushed back in, seeing her there. He gathered her in his arms and she snuggled into him, even as she was asleep. He smiled and felt himself relax, trying to drift off.

He did, eventually.

Note: No-one gets me, right? XD Hopefully you'll soon all realise...Heh. SILENCE. ISH. SHO. CUTE!
Grrsome. Sorry for the amount of fluff there is. I like it. XD
