Scott lay awake in his bed, with Jean curled up beside him. It had been two weeks since their weekend away, and ever since then they would sneak off to each others rooms at night to sleep. They both felt that they couldn't sleep alone anymore. However, it was going to happen soon. Jean was leaving for University in a month. Scott tried to keep that thought out of his mind and spend as much time as he could with her. He always considered saving up some money and booking a holiday for them both. But they were both needed at the mansion, due to an increase in students and lack of adults to look after them. He looked down at Jean as she quietly snored away. It made him smile. He loved having Jean in his bed with him. He knew that some of the students had their suspicions with them sleeping together each night, but he didn't care for their thoughts anymore. It was childish, he thought. He often wondered what the other adults thought of them doing this each night. It was obvious the Professor knew about them doing this. But it was clear that he didn't have a problem with it, or he would have mentioned it by now. Storm, well, I guess she would just go with the flow. It had been Storm who booked their weekend away in the first place. Beast, well, he had too much going on with research to notice anything had been going on in the first place. And Logan, he's cool with. Of course after Scott and Jean arrived back at the mansion, Logan didn't let things lie for a few days. Doing anything to embarrass the young adults. But that was expected with him. It could've been worse. He could've still been against the whole thing like he was at first.

As much Kitty had tried to get the rest of the students to get off their backs, it failed. They were constantly at their doors when they were together. Hiding behind the couch in the library when they were together. Anytime, whether it be night or day. When Scott and Jean were together. Half of Xavier Institute were there with them. Hiding. Or trying to hide. But it was hard hiding from a telepath.

They would ask inappropriate questions at dinner, which was mostly received with a warning from the Professor or Logan.

Bobby even set up a hidden video camera in Jean's room, to which if Logan ever found out about, Bobby would probably not be alive today. Jean was lucky to have stumbled across it before her and Scott did anything.

It had to die down sometime. At least they weren't getting it as bad now since most of the students were back at home for the summer. Scott sat up slightly. He looked over to the bedside table. His clock read 6.00am. He sighed and gently moved from the bed.


He headed for the kitchen, hoping to get something to eat before the fridge was emptied. He walked in and saw Logan sitting at the table eating. He gave him a brief smile and headed for the fridge. He poured a glass of milk and sat down at the table across from Logan. He stared at the milk for a while and Logan looked at him, confused.

"You got a beautiful girl lying in your bed," Logan started. "But you'd rather be down here staring at milk and wearing a face that said the world had just come to an end."

Scott didn't answer right away, and Logan felt he shouldn't prod any further. So he just stood up and put his bowl in the dishwasher and walked out.

"Logan," Scott said, but he was already gone. He stood up to go look for him.

He found him in the garage five minutes later and approached quietly. "Logan."

"Ow!" Logan shouted as Scott heard a thud. He came out underneath the car, rubbing his head.

"Sorry." Scott said and sat down. "Can I talk to you, about something?"

"Sure," Logan replied and wiped his hand on the nearby cloth.

"I'm worried about Jean." He started and Logan looked alarmed at first. "About her going to University."

Logan let out a sigh of relief, fearing something had happened. "Scott, she won't leave you."

"But there's parties, guys, college guys." Scott replied, standing up. "People get drunk, don't know what they're doing."

"And you really think Jean is that sort of person?" Logan asked and Scott sighed, shaking his head.

"It just feels like, she'll loose interest in me." He said, sitting down again. "I mean we've done it, what else is there for her."

"You've really got no clue about relationships do you?" Logan asked and Scott looked at him confused. "It doesn't just stop at sex. I would say that is the step further into a real relationship. Jean is nuts about you Scott. She is in love with you, and I think you're going to be the only person for her."

"But there was Duncan." Scott said and Logan sighed.

"You're focusing on the negatives." Logan said. "Look Scott, Duncan and Jean. How long did that last? A few months?" Scott nodded.

"But still, if she was going with the high school jock then." He replied and looked away to the ground. "Who knows what will happen to us when she goes to college. What happens if she goes for a college jock?"

"Jean knows herself that she was a silly little girl going after the jock for popularity." Logan said, knowing it was the truth. "We all did Scott. She wanted to fit in at School. You know that."

"And what if she does it at college?" Scott asked, his lips trembling slightly.

Logan could see Scott on the verge of tears. He came to sit beside him. "You're getting yourself worked up about nothing. Jean has you, Scott. That's what changed between when she started school here and she's going to college soon." Scott nodded and wiped below his eyes, where tears had started to fall. "She'll never leave you. I bet you now that she'll be down here almost every weekend and holiday to see you. And vice versa."

"No, she'll be to busy with other stuff." He said.

"No she won't, you are her other stuff." Logan said and Scott laughed. "Now, you get back up to bed and tell her how much you love her. This is the best time of day you have together."

Scott nodded and Logan patted his back. "Thanks Logan." He said.

"No problem kid, I knew one day I would be your relationship advisor." He replied and pushed him towards the door.


Scott went back into his room and slipped back into bed. Jean stirred a little, and smiled when she felt Scott beside her. "I love you Scott."

"I love you too Jean." He replied and held her close, eventually falling asleep.

Logan was right. Jean did not cheat on Scott. She didn't make a lot of time for socialising, or trying to fit in. Most of the time she was on the phone to Scott or on the internet talking to him. Jean came home to the institute for Christmas and Scott headed to Jean's for New Years. They travel to see each other, almost every weekend. Even if it meant Scott going to Jean's parents house for the weekend. But it meant they were together. So every weekend, for them both was a weekend away. But nothing would compare to their first weekend away. They both knew it ad brought them to were they were now. A couple who were completely in love with each other and destined to be together for the rest of their lives.
