He kissed her hard as her hands went further and further down his back. He was on top and in control, or so he thought. His left hand tugged at her sweatpants, the last vestige of clothing that remained between the two of them. As he tugged further, Jean suddenly had a change of heart.
"Wait, Scott. Stop."
"Huh? What?"
And the two of them looked at each other, panting.
"What're we doing Scott?"
"Well.. we .. we were.."
"Oh my God, this wasn't how I pictured my first time would be… there would be candles and music."
"Well my lamp has a dimmer .. and I could turn on the radio?"
"Oh God, what am I doing?.. I mean..you're naked on top of me."
Scott rolled off of her and lied down next to her. He took the pillow underneath his head and placed it on his groin.
"Thanks." Jean said as she grabbed onto Scott's sheets and covered her chest.
"No, Thank you."
The both of them lied there for a moment in silence; the only sound heard was the two of them catching their breath.
"You know, this isn't how I pictured my first time either."
"Really?" Jean said sarcastically.
"I at least thought I would have my own place or something."
"You're such a liar, this wasn't your first time."
"Is too, well not now obviously"
"Daymit Scott. This is serious.. it's all you fault."
"My fault!"
"You kissed me!"
"You kissed back, on top of that you lunged at me too!"
"You poked me!"
"You're shirts too tight!"
"What!"
"You ordered me to take off my shirt, gave me a massage, and came into MY room. This is YOUR fault."
"Well sorry, if I was trying to help out a friend… umm I think I should go."
".."
Jean rose up carefully and scanned the floor for her clothes. She got off the bed and Scott grabbed her wrist.
"Don't go." He said softly as he pulled her back onto his bed. She lied back down and the two of them were face to face.
"I don't think I'm ready for this."
"Staying doesn't mean we have to do anything."
Jean paused then said. "Let it be known that YOU asked me to stay." Scott smiled and Jean smiled too. They bumped foreheads.
"So what are we doing Scott?"
"I don't know."
"Why'd you kiss me?"
"I don't know.. just felt like it."
"Did you ever want to kiss me before?"
"No.. yes..no.. maybe… you?"
"No.. no."
"Oh."
"But when you kissed me.. it felt .."
"Great."
"Better… and now look where we are.. for crying out loud your naked."
"Yeaahh.. the draft from my window keeps reminding me."
"This isn't funny Scott… you know .. it's been a long day.. stressful for both of us because of the mission. We just got caught up.. I mean you're a guy and I'm a girl so… well anyways ...we.. we should just put this behind us.. forget it happened.. I'll just gow now."
"Maybe you're right.. this was a tough day.. our first mission..but .. but I don't want to forget this.. whatever this is but.. but if you want to forget this happened then yeah you should leave."
They lied there for a moment in awkward silence.
"So.. you're still here." Jean wrapped her arm around Scott.
"So you can see through those glasses of yours..(they laughed).. you think we could just .. I don't know.. sleep."
"You read my mind… speaking of which.. you think you can hit the lights while I get my umm.. boxers."
And with a thought Jean flipped the light switch off, now only the moonlight peered in through the windows.
"You think you could NOT get your umm.."
"But then I'll just still be…(Jean gave him a dirty look).. why Miss Grey!"
"Shut up okay.. just cuz I can't get the prize at the bottom of the box doesn't mean I can't eat the cereal."
"Ha.. God, you're nuts, I love you." The words came out with no thought, for Scott it just came naturally. Jean looked at him a little stunned.
"Umm.. you know .. we'll forget that." Scott said embarrassed.
"Agreed." Jean quickly said. They laughed and kissed.
"God, this is my fault."
"Oh would you stop already, you're being too hard on yourself."
"I think that's what got me in trouble in the first place."
"Oh good lord Summers. It's both our fault…. But Scott seriously, about earlier today. We're going to face Magneto again and probably other lunatics like him.. we'll win some, we'll lose some.. just do me a favor and don't YOU loose it. You're our leader, we need you.. I need you. Now promise me next time you're not going to blame yourself for everything in the world gone wrong."
Scott smiled as Jean's words touched him and soothed him. It was no wonder those three little words flowed so freely from Scott's lips.
"I promise… Thank you by the way."
"You're very welcome."
Scott pulled the blanket over the both of them. Jean rested her head on Scott's chest, while her hand lay on top of his stomach. Scott had one arm wrapped around Jean and his other hand laid on top of hers above his stomach. They lied there for a couple of minutes before drifting off to sleep, both basking in each other's touch.
End.

Author's Note: As soon as I posted the story, I realized that they wouldn't do it, at least not so soon. So I changed it just a little bit. The initial idea for this story came while I was lying on my bed and my body was sore and I had a long day and wanted a massage myself. I also wanted Jean and Scott to be friends but she didn't necessarily have romantic feelings for Scott, or at least she didn't know they were there until he kissed her. Scott on the other hand was attracted to her, liked her but it came out when things got physical. They are after all teenagers in this story. Well, I hoped you enjoyed. Story is basically done, a continuation might be possible, though this was meant as being done in one shot.
