"You're actually ok about this?" Logan asked to Xavier who had came back to the mansion early this morning.
"Well Logan, they're teenagers, we all knew it would just be a matter of time." Xavier replied and looked over to Ororo. "You did a good thing to get them away."
"I thought it was the best thing for them both." She said to him. "It's hard for them to get time to themselves around here."
"Well maybe they shouldn't have started a relationship together." Logan said and Ororo looked over to him shocked.
"How can you say that?" Ororo said. "We've all known right from the moment they met each other that they were in love."
"Ororo's right Logan," Xavier agreed. "We were all there for them growing up and helping them through their teenage life. Would you rather Jean still be with Duncan?"
"I would rather Jean be with no one who will take advantage of her." He replied and Ororo stood up.
"You know fine well Scott would never take advantage of Jean!" She shouted at him and he stood up.
"He is a teenage boy!" He shouted back. "He's only got one thing on his mind!"
"This is ridiculous Logan." She said and Logan rolled his eyes.
"Both of you, stop it." Xavier said and they looked over to him. "There are students outside."
Just then, they heard footsteps running down the hall and Ororo sighed and sat back down.
"Logan, you need to stop being overprotective of Jean." Xavier said. "You need to look at them as adults now. I know it's hard but don't you remember when Scott came running to you a few years ago when he cut himself shaving."
Logan laughed a little and nodded. "He still can't do it properly."
"Did you not think then that he was not a child anymore?" Xavier asked and Logan looked out of the window.
"Of course I did." Logan said and looked over to him. "This is completely different now."
"Do you trust them Logan?" Ororo asked and Logan looked out the window again in silence.
Jean opened her eyes slowly and smiled at the feeling of Scott's arms wrapped around her. She was still in the same position as she fell asleep last night. It made her smile more. She pulled the covers around her more, not wanting to get up just yet. She wanted to treasure this moment for as long as she could. It was a rare moment, that she would never get back at the mansion.
"Are you awake?" Scott whispered and Jean smiled, turning round to face him.
"No, I'm still sleeping." She said smiling and Scott pulled her closer, kissing the top of her head.
"What's the plan for today then?" Scott asked as Jean placed light kisses on his chest.
"I don't know." She replied. "I kind of want to go out somewhere. Maybe go for a bit of lunch, you can take me shopping, go for a long drive."
"Anything you want Jean." He said letting her go and got out of the bed.
"Where you going?" She asked.
"Am I not allowed to go to the toilet?" He asked smiling and headed off.
Jean reached over and picked up Scott's watch from the bed side cabinet. It read 11.00am. She put it down and snuggled up into the covers again. A few moments later, Scott returned to the bed and wrapped his arms around Jean.
"Are you hungry?" He asked, peering over her shoulder to see her face.
"A little, but I can wait until lunch." She replied and sat up.
"Yeah me too." He said and looked at her.
"My goodness, Mr Summers not having any breakfast before he goes out." She said sarcastically. "How things change." Scott stuck out his tongue and pulled her back down into his arms. "Come on, lets get ready."
"No." Scott moaned and pulled the covers over his head. "You wake me up when you're almost ready. You take forever."
"I do not take forever." She argued. "You're the one who rushes out the door looking a mess."
"No, I'm organised." He said from under the covers.
"And don't I know it." She mumbled.
"Heard that!" He said. She pulled the covers back form him and kissed him. "I won't be long then."
After having a filling lunch, Jean and Scott walked down a slightly busy mall. They only went into a few shops, as others were too busy and, well Scott hated the shops that Jean would buy from clothes from. Jean pulled Scott closer to her, and Scott put an arm around her. They smiled at each other, feeling as though they were in a small world of their own, with no one around. Until they saw familiar faces a few feet ahead.
"Oh no." Scott moaned as Kurt and Bobby waved to them, with Kitty and Rogue following behind.
"Hey guys," Kurt greeted and grinned at them.
"Hey," They both replied and looked around.
"So," Bobby started. "What you been up to?"
"Knock it off Bobby," Scott warned him. "That wasn't funny last night."
"Yeah, neither was your reply." He said looking to Jean. "That was so lame Jean."
"Come on guys, stop this." Rogue said. "So what, you two are having sex, big deal."
"Exactly," Jean replied. "Thanks Rogue."
"Whatever." She replied looking away to the shop beside her.
"Guys, we were doing a little bit of eves dropping," Kitty started.
"Yah, on Logan and," Kurt continued and Scott and Jean looked at each other with slight worry.
"How about we sit down somewhere and talk about this." Rogue suggested. "And Bobby, just try to behave."
All six of them were sitting outside Starbucks, a few tables away from other people. It was a private conversation and Jean noticed some former students from High School.
"Why does he keep arguing about us?" Scott asked and Jean shook her head.
"Like, you guys shouldn't even think about it." Kitty said, hoping to strike a positive note in them. "I mean, Ororo did gave you a weekend away."
"That's true." Jean replied.
"And we didn't know you were going to be here." Kurt said. "It was just co-incidence. We just need to get out for a while."
"The Professor seemed to be more than happy," Rogue said. "He wouldn't let Logan harm you. Although, I'm sure Logan wouldn't go to extremes like that."
"Yeah, The Professor would have him right out of there." Bobby agreed and smiled. "So, it's been nice having coffee with you." He started to get up but Kitty pulled him back down. "Not so fast, you owe me money for that."
"I don't think you got anything to worry about." Kurt said, reassuring them.
"Kurt's right, Scott." Jean said and held his hand. "Let's just enjoy ourselves and if Logan has anything to say, well then let him say it."
"Yeah, I guess." He said and squeezed her hand gently. "Right, so are all of you going to stop teasing us about our personal lives?"
"Only if you give us details." Bobby said quickly, to which he was received with groans and light hits.
"You know, we'll just get this horny guy home." Rogue said and pulled him from the chair, dragging him away from the table.
"Well, I guess we'll see you tomorrow." Kurt said. "Have a nice day." Kitty waited until Kurt was a few feet away and turned round to Scott and Jean.
"Logan won't do anything, I know it." She said to the two of them. "He might come to his senses."
"We can only hope." Scott said.
"Well, just don't think about it." She said. "And I'll try get some of the students to lay off you guys for a while."
"Thanks Kitty." Jean said and Kitty made her way.
"Right, come on you." Jean said to Scott, who still had a slight uneasiness around his face. "We're going to make the best of this."
Jean and Scott returned to the hotel later that evening, after seeing a movie and going for some dinner. Unfortunally, it had been raining and both of them were soaked right through.
"What a miserable night," Scott said as they walked towards their room and Jean looked at him confused. "I mean the weather."
"Well I'm sure I can think of ways to cheer you up." Jean said and winked at him. She opened the door and stepped into the hotel room. The room was warm, thanks to the heating. After Scott had shut the door, Jean immediately stripped out of her wet clothes. Scott followed and joined her in the bathroom, grabbing a towel. They both went for a quick shower and Jean quickly dried her hair, not wanting to waste another moment here. Scott stepped into the bathroom after hearing the hairdryer switch off and lifted Jean into his arms. He carried her over to the bed and lay her down. Jean was dressed in a pair of Scott's boxers and his t-shirt.
"You look so hot in my clothes." He said as he lay down beside her and kissed her gently. "Do you really think Logan will…"
"Shhh Scott." She said putting a finger to his lips. "I don't want to hear anything else about Logan. We'll deal with it when the time comes. Right now, this is about you and me."
Jean tugged the bottom of his t-shirt and Scott smiled, sitting up to let Jean take it off, leaving him in his boxers. She did this slowly and ran her hands over his chest, feeling his tense muscles.
"Scott, whets wrong? You're a little tense." She asked while rubbing his shoulders.
"It's nothing." He said and he lay down again.
"Turn round, I'm going to give you a massage." She said.
"No Jean, it's ok, really." He protested.
"Scott, let me do this." She said and used her telekinesis to flip him over. Just as she was about to sit on top of him, there was knock at the door.
"Did you order room service?" Jean asked Scott and he shook his head. She slid off the bed and walked over to the door. She opened it and saw an all too familiar face. "What are you doing here?"
Scott jumped up off the bed, after hearing Jean's voice. He looked past Jean and saw the figure of the person he didn't want to see.
"Logan," He said under his breath and immediately walked to the door.
"Before you start Scott, I'm not hear to tear your head off." Logan said and looked around the hall. "May I come in?"
Jean and Scott looked at each other and nodded. Scott tensed up as Logan walked by him. Logan sat down on the chair beside the bed and looked for the words he wanted to say. Jean sat down on the bed, crossed leg but Scott didn't move from where he was. He felt a little vulnerable, just standing here in his boxers. Jean sensed this in her mind and threw his t-shirt to him, and he put it on.
"I'm not here to give you two a lecture." Logan started. "I actually want to apologise for the way I acted the other day." Jean and Scott looked to each other in a slight surprise. After the way the students had talked about the way he was shouting today, they were both surprised at his calm tone. "Storm was right. You two are adults and should be able to take this relationship further than just dating. I knew in my heart how serious this was going to be, but…" He looked around the room for a moment. "I still see you two as kids. You came to the institute as kids and I guess I just didn't register the fact that you had grown up since then."
"I guess that's understandable." Jean said, breaking the silence. "It doesn't still explain why you wanted to tear Scott to pieces. Logan you know he wouldn't harm me. He would've had to get through me before you got a chance to get to him."
Scott raised his eyebrows and Logan chuckled. "Yeah that's true." Logan said and looked to Scott. "I know you wouldn't hurt her Scott. Charles managed to talk sense into me. Anyway, you have nothing to worry about when you come back. I just wanted to say sorry, so I'll be on my way, you don't need me spoiling your weekend together." Logan stood up and Jean grabbed his arm.
"Logan, thanks." Jean said. "You're forgiven. I just thought you were going to kill Scott"
"So did I." Logan replied with a slight smile on his face. "But I'm glad Ororo came just in time. But Jean, promise me you will never levitate me again. It makes me feel sick."
"Sorry," Jean said and gave him a hug which surprised Logan.
"Right, I better be leaving." Logan said and made his way towards the door. He stopped at Scott, who hadn't said a word since he was here. "Can I have a word with you outside?"
Scott nodded and put on a pair of jeans and joined Logan outside. Logan looked around the halls, it was empty.
"You know, I meant everything I said there." Logan started, but Scott was still quiet. "I'm sorry for threatening you. I was just scared for Jean, I know I shouldn't have been, but I just still pictured her as a young girl."
"I know." Scott said and looked away. "But, I wouldn't hurt her Logan. I love her. I love her so much, I would do anything for her."
"I know that now Scott." Logan said. "You know what that Duncan was like, I guess I just got the wrong impression with all guys your age. I should've saw past that, I know you Scott. I helped raise you. I guess anger took over."
"You've got to trust me Logan." Scott said.
"I do trust you Scott." Logan replied and patted him on the back. "Just don't ever hurt her."
"Wouldn't dream of it Logan." He replied and smiled.
"Well, you better get back to her." Logan said and nudged him towards the door. "And don't come home too early, if you know what I mean.
"Thanks Logan." Scott said and smiled. Logan turned away towards the elevator.
"Oh, yeah," Logan said turning back towards him pulling a package out his pocket and handed it to Scott. "Have fun, but be safe, yeah?" Scott nodded and Logan left.
Scott looked at the package for a moment before returning to the room.
"Hey babe." Jean greeted and walked over and hugged him. "What did he say? He didn't hurt you?"
"No, not at all." Scott said and kissed her. "Just an understanding of sort."
Jean smiled and pulled his hand towards the bed, so they were sitting. "What's that?" She asked pointing towards the package.
"Logan gave me it," Scott replied and opened it, which led to a grin on Scott's face.
"How embarrassing." Jean said as she took the box of condoms from him.
"Hey, he's only looking out for us." Scott protested. "Besides, I haven't seen these kinds before." He said taking the box from her again.
"Yeah right." Jean said rolling her eyes. She lay down on the bed, stretching out and yawned slightly. Scott tossed the box aside and lay down beside her.
"Don't tell me you're tired." He said, rubbing her legs.
"Yes, I am." She said and closed her eyes. Scott smiled and curled up beside her.
"I don't believe you." He whispered into her ear, knowing fine well she was awake. He slid his hand up the loose material of the boxers she wore to caress her upper thigh gently. Jean tried to hold in the moan, but failed. It rose a another smile from Scott. He pulled her over so that she was lying on her back, smiling up at him. He lowered his face down to kiss her gently and used his hand to lightly caress her breasts through the material. It aroused another moan from her and she pulled him closer, so that he was almost fully on top of her.
After their lovemaking, Scott held Jean in his arms, kissing the top of her head and taking in the scent of her shampoo. Jean was tracing little patterns and words of love on Scott's chest. Scott looked down towards her, and smiled. She smiled back and curled up to him, more closely.
"You want something to eat honey?" He asked, while stroking her hair. She shook her head and felt herself dosing off. Scott lay her down on the bed gently and got out of the bed. He was hungry. He heard his stomach rumble. He noticed that the hotel room didn't have a mini fridge, and he doubt the restaurant would be open at this time. He remembered seeing a shop just a few feet away from the hotel. He just hoped it was still open. After getting dressed quickly, he considered waking Jean. But he looked at her. She was so peaceful, how could he wake her.
When he returned, Jean was still lying in the same position. He smiled and stripped down to his boxers and climbed back into bed. He opened the box of Lucky Charms and started eating them. He turned on the TV, making sure the volume was down as not to wake Jean. He looked down to her, and a slight wave of sadness came over him. It was their last night alone this weekend. Well, almost alone. But he didn't have the weight of Logan's threats hanging over him anymore. He kissed her gently on the cheek and returned to watching the TV. Jean woke up, run the sound of crunching. She looked up to Scott and laughed.
"What?" He asked as he looked down to her.
"Just you," She replied. "I don't know how you can eat them without milk."
"I just do, they taste so much better." He said and continued to eat. "You go back to sleep honey. We have to be out the hotel room by noon tomorrow."
"Don't remind me." She said and turned over on her side. "It just passed in too fast."
"You know, we don't have to go home right away tomorrow." He said looking over to her, and leaned over, brushing her hair aside. "We can go for a drive. Be home for dinner."
"That sounds nice Scott." She said and yawned. He leaned down to kiss her neck and she was soon asleep. It wasn't long before Scott turned off the TV and snuggled up to Jean. It took him a while to actually fall asleep, but he enjoyed those moments of silence. Being able to watch her in a peaceful sleep, which never came that often being part of the X-Men. After everything they had been through recently, it was rare to see her in this peaceful state. He looked over to the clock, reading 1.00 am. He sighed and set the alarm for 9.00am, then curled back up again to Jean, with a smile on his face.
