Chapter One
"Look at them," Rogue scowled "Could they be, any more obvious?"
"Awww...!" Kitty shrieked. "They are, like, so cute together!" She giggled as she eyed a couple by the names Jean Grey and Scott Summers flirt together.
"Don't forget, they're not actually together," Rogue commented "Jean is still dating Duncan."
Kitty grimaced at this remark. "Ugh! I hate Duncan! What does Jean see in him anyway? He's just a self-centered dummy."
"That's the first sensible thing you've ever said," Rogue scoffed "Common, let's go. These guys are making me sick." And with that, Rogue and Kitty turned away from the two destined lovers and left the room.
"Well, Jean, I'll see you later, I have a date with the danger room," Scott said with a pinch of unhappiness in his voice. He liked talking with Jean and being around her. Probably the highlight of his day was just driving her home after school.
"Alone?" Jean asked curiously. He didn't want him to leave.
"Yeah, just as target practice. Um, how about after we go get something to eat afterwards?" He held his breath and watched Jean take in the information. Did he make it seem like he was asking her out on a date? He didn't really, just wanted to spend some time with her.
Dread filled Jean hastily. "Well, I'm sort of going on a date with Duncan tonight, sorry about that." Jean knew that she would rather spend time with Scott than with Duncan. Why was she dating Duncan again?
Shot down! Scott cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "Oh, uh, that's ok, Jean." What else could he say? It was obvious Jean liked Duncan more, so why was he even trying?! He had to leave before he said anything stupid. He always ended up saying something stupid whenever he was around Jean. Scott waved goodbye and turned to flee the room, but than Jean said something.
"Scott, you know I would always choose you over Duncan," Jean said warily. "You know, with us being best friends and all."
"I know." Scott sighed. He didn't know what else to say
"It's just Duncan was taking me to a really expensive concert, and,"
"Don't worry about, just go and have a good time! See you Jean!" Scott left Jean standing alone in the room. He needed to get away. And yet, he needed to get closer. But what he really needed was to sort out his feelings. He cared about Jean a lot. As a friend and as someone he loved. Like family? Maybe, or maybe not like family. He wasn't really sure anymore.
Jean felt basically the same as Scott. She was only dating Duncan because Duncan made her feel normal. And whenever she was around him, she forgot that she was a mutant, forgot the pain it could hold and sorrow it could bring. But she did not love him. She was not sure who she really loved. Her parents dropped her off at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters when she was only young. Her parents were terrified of having a mutant for a daughter; they thought being a mutant was a disease, so they tried to get rid of her as quickly as possible. That didn't seem like love at all. The only love she felt after that was when she met a boy that understood what she was going through, that boy was Scott Summers. She still did have feelings for him, and every time she talked with him, they would just get stronger. She didn't know what to do.
Jean felt quite strange throughout her date with Duncan. Whenever he kissed her, she pulled away because it didn't feel right. She wasn't comfortable around him like she used to be. She wasn't starting to realize that Duncan wasn't for her. He never was.
"Jean, what's wrong with you tonight?" Duncan asked her while they left the concert. "You've been so quiet. You're not smiling or anything."
"Sorry, Duncan, I've just got a lot on my mind" is the best answer she could cough up. The truth was, she had only one thing on her mind.
The ride home was quiet. Duncan wasn't happy because he wasn't getting what he wanted from Jean. She wouldn't even let him kiss her. What was up with that? She was thinking about something else other than him. She shouldn't be thinking about anything else, he thought bitterly. She should be thinking of me.
Meanwhile, Scott was sitting in the den watching some television with Kurt and Ray.
"Well I'm heading to bed. Twelve is late enough for me." Ray said, sitting up and leaving the room. Kurt nodded in agreement.
"Me too! Good night!" Kurt said in a German accent. BAMF! He disappeared in a cloud of blue smoke.
Now Scott was alone. He wasn't getting tired at all. It was his instinct to stay up on a Friday night, plus he was waiting for Jean.
As if on cue, Duncan's car became visible in front of the mansion through the window. Scott jumped up to meet them or her specifically. He ran to the door and opened it before Jean could even set her hand on the knob.
"Scott!" she said happily, as a smile formed on her face. She quickly wiped it away and turned back to Duncan. "Thanks for the night Duncan. I had a great time."
"No problem, Jean" Duncan noticed quickly how Jean's face lit up once she saw Scott. He didn't like that. Scott must have been pulling some kind a move on his girl. Before leaving, Duncan kissed Jean on the check and shot Scott a dirty look. Scott remained motionless and silent until Duncan was out of earshot.
"How was your night Jean?" Scott asked, trying to hide his jealousy. He hated Duncan and Scott thought that Duncan didn't deserve her. No one did.
"It was fine. And yours?"
"Fine."
"You're lying. I can sense it," Jean said, not breaking eye contact with Scott.
"You're lying too, and I know it." Scott said back, staring into her green eyes.
Jean sighed. "I'm sorry Scott; I should have spent the night with you. We've been spending less and less time together since most of the new recruits came..."
"And when you started going out with Duncan," Scott finished. Shit! He shouldn't have said that! A smile crept across her face.
"Scott Summers, you are so jealous!" She laughed as her face went slightly red. Her smile was so beautiful in Scott's eyes that he couldn't help but to smile too.
"I am not!" he uttered out, "I just care about you that's all, and I don't want to see you get hurt by a jerk like Duncan."
"Oh, sure, Scott!" Jean smiled and grabbed his hand "Common, lets go for a walk, the night is still young!"
"Ok, Jean." Scott whispered and clutched her hand. Man, he would do just about anything for that girl! Even when they were young, he would do anything she asked, even if it was totally crazy.
Meanwhile, Professor Charles Xavier watched his two eldest students from the window along with Logan and Storm.
"We shouldn't be letting them go for a 'walk' yaknow. It's too late." Logan muttered, eyeing Scott and Jean frolicking in the front yard. He could hardly see them in the darkness, the only light was coming from the porch and that was scarcely enough.
"Oh, but look at them! They are so in love and they don't even realize it," Storm said.
"Yes, Scott and Jean care very much about each other and I do believe that their relationship will soon evolve into something more passionate," Professor Xavier commented "and I believe that change could be occurring even as we speak."
They remained silent and watched Scott and Jean disappear into the night, hand in hand.
Well, there you go! Awwwww... Scott and Jean are sooooo cute together! Did you like the story so far? PLEASE REVIEW MY STORY! If you liked it, don't worry, the next chapter should be coming in the next few days! Thanks for reading!
