Scott, I'll love you forever.

Chapter 17

Games in The Toy Shop Part 1

The thunder crashed over the mansion Logan glared at the ceiling and walked down the hall his hair limp from the rain his eyebrows brought together in a frustrated glare. "The one weekend Storm decides to take a weekend off." Logan murmured under his breath. He turned into the library and his bad mood began to lift as he saw Scott sitting his nose in a book. Logan sat down next to Scott and waited for Scott to look up. Scott was engrossed in the book his lips parted slightly his breath shallow and soft. Finely Scott closed the back cover and looked up. He jumped slightly on seeing Logan sitting right next to him, "How do you stay so quite?"

Logan shrugged, "listen Slim the rain isn't going to lighten up any, and I don't want to take you out on your first day in the rain."

Scott nodded and stood moving down several shelves searching for where he had retrieved the book from, "there's a movie night to night, are you coming?" Scott asked turn back to Logan and raising his eyebrows over the high ark of his glasses.

"I can't, I've got a mission." Logan said shoving his hands into his pockets.

"Oh." Scott remained silent for a moment then touched Logan's arm tenderly, "with whom?"

"Remy." Logan murmured looking away from Scott and back up the shelves hoping nobody would catch them in this intimate moment, "you're not still worried about us are you? There isn't anything between Rem and me," Logan said gently turning his attention back to Scott and touching their foreheads.

"I know…" Scott sighed, "It's just – you're always together."

Logan smirked slightly and kissed Scott softly, "I know, but I don't ask to work with him, I get assigned to him, and besides we work together pretty good."

"I'm not a big fan of how he tries to flirt with you." Scott sulked.

Logan pulled Scott close to him cradling his lover against his body gently lovingly, "Rem's not so bad when you get to know him."

Scott smiled and ran his hands down Logan's chest, "I bet he is."

Logan released Scott slowly, unwillingly and walked out of the library and down the hall.

Remy was waiting for him in the car Logan slid into the driver's seat and sighed, "Where are we going?"

"The Toy Shop," Remy said tousling his own hair and unbuttoning another button on his shirt.

"Why don't you just take the shirt off for all the chest its covering?" Logan growled as he glanced at Remy's smooth shapely chest. Remy laughed quietly and started to chew some gum, "The Toy Shop what kind of place are we going to?"

Remy blinked, "you've never been there Logan?"

Logan shook his head and glanced at Remy's face, it was full of humor.

"It's a strip club," Logan raised an eyebrow silently prompting Remy to elaborate; "I heard from a friend that Creed frequents the club, the Professor just wants us to see how much of a threat he is."

The club was loud, and dim, it smelled like air fresheners and cheep perfume. Logan scanned the club trying to pick up Sabertooth's sent, Remy smiled and sat at a table, ordering drinks, "About Scott Logan," Logan locked his eyes on Remy, "Is he going to be living on campus or at the mansion?"

"The mansion, it's not a long commute between the college and the mansion."

"That's no good." Remy said tapping the table with his finger and smiled at a young dancer that walked past him, "He aught to live in campus."

"Why's that?"

"The way Remy sees it, little Scotty should get out in the world see some things, meet more people, find out that there are some perfectly normal individuals out there." Logan looked at Remy from under his knitted brow and Remy leaned forward, "Let him see the world Logan, in 20 years he's going to look back on his life and ask himself what if I had left? What would have happened then? He's going to have to see the world some time Logan let it be when he's still young."

I don't decide where he goes." Logan muttered drinking the beer that had been set in front of him.

"Oh come now mon amor, we both know that he's staying for you; and we both know you're letting him stay for you, too."

Logan broke the gaze he had been sharing with Remy and looked off into the crowd his neck hot a mixture of embarrassment and frustration. Logan's eyes fixed on Sabertooth sitting in the shadows eyeing a young woman. They watched the man for a while and then Logan stood.

"Where are you headed Mon Amor?" Remy said standing quickly apprehensively glancing between the two men.

"I need to go for a walk." Logan murmured shrugging on his jacket and walking to the door. Remy sank back into and went back to watching the man across the club.

Logan stepped out into the rain and pulled his collar up higher around his neck it was cold outside even though summer was coming fast. Logan walked strait ahead, eh didn't know where he was going and he didn't care; the thunder rolled over his head and the water felt as if it was sinking into his skin chilling him to the bone. Logan walked squinting when a car would zoom past with their blinding headlights on. Remy was right as Remy was prone to be but it was small consolation. He saw another car coming his way and he moved farther off the road, Logan stopped in front of the mansion and stood sullenly in the rain. He felt like a stranger in his own skin, it was wrong that he wanted to keep Scott here. It was selfish, it was sick really to try and keep Scott hidden way under the guise of protecting him. Logan trudged up the sets looking at his watch, it had taken most of the night to get back here he wondered if Scott was still up. He pushed the front door open and stood dripping in the dark front hall.

"Logan?"

Logan looked up at the sound of Scott's voice, "yeah?"

Scott rushed to Logan touching his face, "you're ice cold."

Logan nodded and shrugged slipping off his jacket and taking Scott's hand and leading him towards the kitchen, "we need to talk."
