The two girls made their way slowly but surely up to their room, planning to hang around in there for a few minutes before heading down to the Rec Room for a bit. When they finally fought their way through the slow-as-molasses mob of students, they threw themselves onto their beds with identical sighs of relief. "Argh... I can't believe that mutants, clearly more endowed than normal human beings... can possibly move that slowly..." Nicole moaned stuffily, ending her sentence with a sniffle.
Katie just rolled her eyes at Nicole. "You're just impatient. You're also very argumentative... I want to see you and Logan manage not to kill each other this trip..." Katie was, of course, ignoring that morning's civility. It was much scarier than their arguments could ever be.
Nicole rolled her eyes, "As long as he isn't our chaperone, and as long as she stays out of my way- everything will be fine." She assured Katie curtly.
Katie snorted into one of her pillows. "Given our luck, he'll most likely be our chaperone, and if he isn't- he'll still find a way to you. No matter what it takes to prove his looooovvve for you... But he'll probably try and get into your pants first." Katie giggled, sighing in a girlish fashion, batting her eyelashes at Nicole teasingly.
As would be expected of her, Nicole had just begun to swell with indignation and flush with embarrassment on her cheeks, prepared to retort, when there was a knock on the door. A rather eerily civil knock for the voice that followed…
"Knock knock, anyone home...?" Logan called.
Nicole could hear the smirk in his voice. Her breath stopped and she motioned for Katie to keep quiet for the love of all that was good.
Logan chuckled from the other side of the door. "I know you're in there Nicole… I can smell your perfume."
Nicole snarled into her pillow before throwing herself off of her bed and storming to the door. Couldn't the man leave her alone for two seconds? How sketchy was that? He could smell her… if that wasn't weird, she didn't know what was. She snatched the door open to face Logan's tall, towering figure in her doorframe. Well, she couldn't exactly face him. It was more like nearly walking into and staring at, his chest then having to crane her neck to see his face. "For your information it's not perfume its body spray." She snapped, not even bothering to ask him what he wanted. She was beyond that stage by now…
"Like I care," he replied, though inside he was thinking on how very nice it smelled, and whether his shirt, now that she'd been wearing it, would smell like her... "I came for my shirt, kid." He continued, giving her a look as though challenging her to defy him.
Nicole raised an eyebrow in recognition of his mental challenge. "Well, you're not going to get it back if you're not nice about it." she answered, glaring at him determinedly. "I could always just keep it... it makes for a very nice nightshirt." she continued, shrugging and risking a quick look directly into his eyes before dragging her eyes away to stare at anything but him.
For a moment Logan considered the concept of Nicole wearing one of his shirts to bed and this drew up not totally unwelcome mental pictures that he had to fight down for the sake of decency. It wouldn't do to accidentally let some of these thoughts slip enough for her to view them as well. "As interesting as this is to me that you enjoy sleeping in my clothing, I'd still like my shirt back." He demanded in a slightly (very slightly) more polite tone. "Please." he added.
"Hm..." Nicole made a face, as though seriously considering giving it back. "I don't know. You haven't done much to persuade me yet." She made another brief eye contact, afraid any more would lock her into his gaze, and she'd give in all too easily. Instead, she studied her fingernails, as though they would give her an answer.
The corner of Logan's mouth kicked up into 'that smirk' again, tilting his head to the side slightly to observe Nicole. "Or," he began, taking a step into the room, eyes sparkling. "I could just take it... no persuasion required." He purred, advancing further making her back up, not wanting him to get too close lest the temptation become too strong.
Katie cleared her throat. "Yes, no persuasion required would be preferred. You can both undress each other with your eyes some other time." she declared loudly.
They both, understandably, turned to glare at her, as it was clearly none of her business what sort of dirty thoughts were going through their minds as they looked at each other. "I was not!" Nicole denied, giving him a look telling him not to be getting any ideas. "Do you really think I'd be mentally undressing... him?"
Katie merely raised her eyebrow back at her friend.
Taking her friend's silence as an insult, Nicole stalked to her bed, lifting up her ridiculous amount of pillows and snatched up Logan's shirt. Face flaming; Nicole shoved the shirt sulkily into Logan's chest.
Katie's mouth hung open. "You put it under your pillows?!" She blurted, blue eyes even more pronounced than usual in her surprised expression. Nicole's face turned a deeper shade of cherry red.
"It was the last place that I would look if I were him." she mumbled, looking away from both Logan and Katie in shame.
Logan chuckled, "That's the first place where I would look. Here I was thinking that you were beginning to get to know me better..." he chided, that god damned smirk still glued to his face.
"Like I'd want to get to know you any better than I already do." Nicole snapped back, face still crimson.
Katie bit back a giggle. The sexual tension, and the obvious denials, were extremely amusing when you weren't part of the direct action.
Logan chuckled, eyes flicking to Katie quickly before returning to Nicole's face, he bent down a bit so that they were eye to eye. "Oh, but you do...you know you do." he assured her softly, his eyes taking on that predatory gleam momentarily. "Anyhow," he continued, straightening up like what he had just said was perfectly normal and not sketchy at all, "Thanks for my shirt, about time I got it back. I will see you around." Just to annoy her, he ruffled Nicole's hair then made a quick getaway.
