Kitty smiled in her sleep, she cuddled closer to the large teddy bear
that she used to sleep with back home. Throwing a leg over it she wondered
how it got to the institute. Suddenly her eyes popped open. She found
herself curved into Scott's back with her leg strewn over his and her hand
wrapped around his waist. She blinked twice and bit her lip to make sure
that it wasn't a dream. The door was opened and she heard a scream.
Scott sat straight up and put a hand to his glasses, he looked over at Kitty who was sprawled next to him in what seemed to be his bed and Jean at the door with a look of pure disgust on her face. He blinked twice and pinched his arm. 'This is not happening', he thought. He hopped off the bed and stared at Jean.
"What is going on here?" She asked, tears in her eyes. Scott croaked. Kitty quickly got off the bed and grabbed Jean's hand pulled her in and locked his door so that they wouldn't have a scene.
"Look Jean, it's not what you think. Ya see, Scott was so tired this morning and he, like, fell asleep in class, so I took him home and than we ended up falling asleep here. It's totally innocent." She said. Jean on the other hand didn't look like she budged with the explanation.
"If you guys have something going on than you should've just told me, not gone behind my back," Jean said, she looked away. Scott walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"It was a mistake, all right? Nothing to get worried over, this will never happen again," he looked at Kitty while Jean lay her head on his shoulder. She didn't know whether he blamed her or not and didn't want to find out. She phased through the door and ran into her room. Rogue saw her face and sat up quickly.
"Are ya okay Kitty?" She was a little concerned, not that she had never seen Kitty like that before but it bugged her after the loud scream she heard. When she received no answer as Kitty lay on her bed, her face into her pillow, Rogue licked her lips and continued to read her book nervously. When the door burst open and Jean walked in, she looked from one face to the other and made a quick exit.
Jean locked the door behind her and went over to sit on Rogue's bed. Large, wet blue eyes met green narrowed ones. Kitty sat down on her bed and tugged at the hem of her shirt.
"I don't know what happened in there, but I don't want it to happen again Kitty. I don't want to be mean but it's not a good feeling when you think that your boyfriend and your friend might have something going on," Jean said. Kitty was about to say something but Jean cut her off. "No apologies just do me a favor and go to school on your own from now on," and with that she left.
Kitty's hand shook but not with hurt or embarrassment, it was with anger. The urge to throw herself at Jean had been controlled only because she understood that Jean was probably hurt. She grabbed a towel and a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and went to take a shower. The hot shower did well to her muscles and she washed her hair twice in attempts of prolonging the time. She left the bathroom and bumped into Scott in the hallway.
He looked at her and she saw his jaw clench. 'Is he mad at me,' she thought.
"Kitty, I'm-," she cut him off by walking away, Scott didn't understand until he saw Jean's door close quickly. He had an idea of the little 'talk' Jean had with Kitty. He wasn't angry at her though, she was livid; he would be too if he saw her in such a precarious position. He just entered the bathroom and wiped the fogged up mirror with his hand. He noticed the open bottle of Pantene Pro-V, the mango scented body wash and the pink razor on the tubs edge. He sighed and took his shower.

Dinner time was normal for everyone except Scott, Jean, and Kitty. Kurt teleported beside Scott and gave him a sniff.
"Vow Scott, you smell good," Kurt yelped when Scott ribbed him. Kitty noticed his blush from the other side of the table and wondered what Kurt meant.
"Yeah Slim, since when d'ya smell like mangoes?" Logan threw in. Everyone turned to Kitty who spewed her soda out of her mouth. Her giggles commenced and with everyone came a deeper blush from Scott. Jean on the other hand was not laughing along with everyone else. She threw her fork on her plate and walked out. That stopped Kitty's laughter and made her feel even worst than before. She hadn't meant to cause any harm but turns out that that was exactly what she had done.

No one heard any shouts that evening, no one heard as he crossed the line or how she slapped him across his face. No one heard his angry come back and the next slap. Was it all right for him to feel exhilarated after such a horrible fight? The two red marks on his cheek went unnoticed as he made his way to the danger room. He thought of their 'argument' as he pulled on his uniform in the boy's locker room.
* "I don't believe nothings going on?" Jean said quietly. They were
both in her bedroom right now.
"What do you think is happening Jean? She's only seventeen years
old!" He replied. He sat on the edge of her bed, his head in his
hands. She was standing in front of him.
"And you're eighteen Scott, big difference. Look I'm going to tell
you one last time to separate from her. You're not even thinking
about my feelings," she cried out. The tears were now flowing, Scott
stood up facing her.
"You're right, I'm not thinking about your feelings but what about
mine? Don't you think there's something wrong with the fact that we
haven't gone out in weeks? That your life is suddenly full of study
dates, and no time for Scott?" His voice was low but harsh.
"School comes first Scott." Scott chuckled at her words.
"Is that really what you're doing? Are you really studying in every
guys room Jean?" His head snapped to the side as soon as he was done
with that comment. "Getting defensive huh?" Another slap resounded
and he just stared at her angry face.
"Get out of my room!" Jean shouted. Scott pulled open the door and
left, having nothing to say.*
Scott turned the assimilation to Logan's setting, once again. Through out the battle he marveled at how good it felt to get all those thoughts out of his system, to have told her all the things that lingered in the back of his mind. He would of course apologize to her and do as she asked, because she was right. Things were getting to friendly between him and Kitty. He grabbed 'Mystique's' wrist and blasted her in the head. A creak from the door snapped him out of his reverie and he found himself lying on the floor from a high kick given by 'Mystique'.
"End assimilation six," he called out. He lay on the floor and saw a heart shaped face staring down at him, brilliant light surrounding her. He had the stupid urge of calling her his angel.
"We've gotta talk," Kitty said. She sat down beside him and made sure she faced the door just in case. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she nervously looked about. "I'm sorry about everything Scott, I didn't mean to make things worst than they were, I think that maybe we should just, like, stick to the danger room and nothing else. I can get to school on my own." Scott nodded in agreement.
"I think that's the best idea too, I'm really sorry for getting you involved in this Kitty," he said apologetically. Kitty nodded and left the room, she went up to her bedroom and stopped in front of Jean's door and knocked on it. Jean opened it with a quirked eye brow.
"I'm sorry Jean, this won't happen again," Kitty said and left quickly.
A few minutes later another knock came to her door.
"Jean, it's over, Kitty and I both spoke about it and decided that it was best to keep a distance from each other," Scott said. 'I hope that pleases you', he said to himself carefully not allowing her to 'hear'. Jean nodded her head. "Want to go out for some dinner?" He asked, hoping to end the drama.
"Sure, let me get my purse," Jean said and they both left. No one noticed the brunette who leaned against the wall. She continued to stare off until a tap on her shoulder.
"Kitty are you all right?" she turned swiftly to find Dr. McCoy behind her.
"Um, yeah, I'm fine," she said and slipped away before he pressured her for a genuine answer.
***
Scott sat in the diner and twirled his fries in his ketchup cup. Right across from him sat Jean who was eating a salad with non-fat dressing and a milkshake. She spoke about school; he spoke about the next day's danger room session and but mostly they spoke about nothing at all or better yet, said nothing. She wasn't angry at him anymore, ignoring him or trying to make him miserable. They were just having a normal date just like every day. And by the time Scott got to bed, he curled up on his side and made himself quickly falling asleep, regretting his promise of avoiding Kitty and ignored the flashbacks of the day before.

I hope this was a good chapter. I am not and I repeat 'not' bashing Jean . . . come on, if you found your man (or woman) sleeping with your friend wouldn't you be a little annoyed? Anyway, I hope you guys liked it, leave me your thoughts in the reviews.
