Oh! Darling
Logan opened his door to find Marie sopping wet, wearing a t-shirt and jeans, no gloves. "Can I come in?" she asked sheepishly.
Logan paused, "Ya, why not." He walked away leaving the door open for her to enter.
"Thanks." She closed the door behind her. "Look, I'm sorry about earlier."
He opened a beer with his teeth, "About what? Screwing John or not telling me that you can touch people?"
"The later." She said blankly, "And for your information I did NOT sleep with John."
Logan gave a laugh that sent ice down to her very soul. "Are you sure about that darlin'? because that's what it sure looked like."
Marie walked over and looked him square in the face, "Ya, I'm sure I didn't sleep with him. I just got stoned off my ass and was too lazy to walk back to the dorms." She told him angrily. "How could you even say that!? I have a boyfriend you know."
"Ya," Logan grunted "I know." He walked to the bed and sat down.
Marie sighed and sat down next to him. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you," she said as she placed her head on his shoulder, "I really am, I was just scared."
Logan stiffened, "why were you scared?" Come to think of it I'm pretty scared myself, he thought to himself as for the first time in ages, he felt her skin against his. He knew that being able to touch her opened up a whole new realm of unanswered questions and emotions. He felt tear drops on his shoulder and looked down to see Marie crying. "Oh honey." He said as he felt his heart break for her, "Shhh…. I didn't mean to say all those nasty things to you, I was in shock that's all." He kissed her forehead.
"I know that." She mumbled into his shoulder. "It's just all too much. I've always wanted to touch people and now that I can, I'm scared. I'm scared of what all my friends will do, of what Bobby will do. I just don't think I'm ready to be touched."
Logan lifted her head up and brushed her tears away with his thumb. "That's alright." He said and hugged her to him tight. After a few minutes he whispered into her ear "You know that if Bobby tries anything that you're not ready for I'll personally ensure that he will not be able to have children."
Marie laughed and pulled away from his warm embrace. "I know that all too well Wolfman." She laid down on the bed, "I'm tired."
Logan chucked, "Weed hangover?"
She nodded.
"I remember those all too well."
"Can I just sleep here for a while?"
"Darlin' you can sleep as long as you like."
Marie snuggled in. "Logan?"
"Ya?"
"Will you just hold me as I go to sleep?"
He was startled, "Well, is that what you want me to do?"
She nodded.
"Alright then." Logan laid down on the bed and held her close, her skin touching his, as she drifted to sleep, and eventually, he did to.
