( Scottīs P.o.V )
I think that today was a good one more or less. We found the
identity
of the Angel told him about the institute and found out that Magneto is
still alive. We didnīt get him to join us but we saved him from Magneto.
Weīve just said our farewells to Warren and are currently heading home.
Rougeīs asleep in the seat next to me sleeping off the light headache
leftover from her fight with Magneto. She beautiful when sheīs sleeping,
truly like an angel more so then one weīre leaving behind us.
Despite popular opinion I am not in love with Jean nor do I have a
crush on her. Donīt get me wrong I do love her but itīs the same love I
have for the rest of the team but different slightly. She and I have
been with Xavier the longest. I was first she was second. We were
together just the two of us Logan and Ororo along time. I am also the
oldest of all the students. Which means that overprotective older
brother streak I couldnīt use on Alex comes out more for her than rest.
Iīm not jealous of Duncan. I just donīt trust him. He like
all the
rest think I donīt want him and Jean together because I want Jean. I
donīt want him Jean together because I simply donīt think heīs good
enough for my best friend. Heīs a loud mouth ego driven jock who takes
any chance to pick at my shades. But if he makes her happy Iīll just
have to deal with it and him. I think I am going to have to talk to Jean
about her friend Taryn though she keeps wanting to see what color my
eyes are and itīs starting to bug me.
Rouge on the other hand. I do love and I canīt for the life of me
figure out why I canīt tell her. She gave me a sweater and I fumbled out
some lame line about not having any thing for her. When in truth I did
have one for her. It was silver promise ring with īyou are my angel
kateī inscribed on it. But when she gave me her gift I froze. Can you
believe it me Scott Summers-Cyclops fearless leader of the X-men frozen
in the face of the girl he loves. She smiled and said it was o.k. that I
still had time. I nodded as I opened the box it. she actual got me
something I was more touched by that than the gift.
She commented on how lonely it would be with everyone gone home to
their families except us and how much fun it could be just us the Prof.
and Mr. Mcoy. I had planed n telling her how I felt after all the others
left but then this Angel business came up. She is just so easy to talk
to. I open up more to her than I do to Jean now. I told her about what
it lie for me after plane crash and my theory angels and Alex. She
laughed at first but was sympathetic when she realized I was serious. I
like it when she smiles at me. We went shopping for her gift which was
interrupted by rumors of the Angel and the accident on the bridge.
Following the leads we found Angel at the hospital and battled with him
against Magneto in a church. My heart nearly dropped out when Rogue told
me of the fight and how Angel saved her. We gave him the options but I
knew he wasnīt ready to come with us yet the same way Rogue wasnīt in
the beginning.
That brings me back to now. As I pull up to the gates of the
mansion
I look over to find Rogue watching me.
"So sleeping beauty awakes." I
state with a sly smile. She blushes slightly even through the red of my
glasses I can tell.
" Ah have
been for a while where were you." she
responds giving me a bright smile.
" Thinking about the past few days
and you and Jean." I say and watch as her smile falters .
" What about
me and Jean, Scott?" she asks
" Just the way I love the two of you and
how to you tell you Iīm in love with you."
" Ah knew it Ah just knew you
loved Jean But did you have to come out and say it like that Scott." she
says I can see tears in her eyes realize she isnīt understanding me. I
ignore the rest of her rant about my lack of consideration for others
feeling as focus on the feeling I have for and what I was trying to say.
I lean over and grab her face and kiss her dead on the lips.
I feel the tell tale pull of her powers and hold on until she
stops
struggling and pushes me away. I fall back gasping. I can see her close
her eyes against my powers as she sorts through the thoughts of mine she
took. I watch her as the tears stop and smiles the biggest smile Iīve
ever seen.
" Do you understand now?" she nods her head.
I reach into my
pocket and pull out the ring box and place it in the palm of her
trembling hand and place a quick kiss on her lips and whisper
" Merry
Christmas Love." in her ear. She open the box and looks at the ring and
before I know it I have a lap full of very happy Rogue hugging me and
dropping light kisses all over my face.
" Ah love You too Scott." My angel replies. All
in all this has been the best Christmas ever I got
the girl I love and she loves me. The rest I can sort out later I think
to myself as drive up the mansion with Rogue leaning her head on my
shoulder.
