Chapter 2
Logan sat in the kitchen, watching tv,
Freshly chilled beer in hand, thanks to Bobby. You said you'd only be gone the weekend. He watched the clock, like a hawk. It was midnight when he heard Scotts motorcycle pull up. A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. He waited a bit before leaving Bobbys passed out figure on the bar stool next to him, heading toward
your room.
You threw your bag onto your temporary bed at the school, it bounced gently on the floral print comforter. Not bothering to shut the door behind you, you made your way over to the dresser, shrugging off your jacket, you laid it on the single chair by the corner desk.
Taking a seat, you placed your head on the desk. Your chest shuttered feeling your heart finally break, unable to hold in your emotions any longer.
"Let me guess" you heard a gruff
voice from behind you. Your eyes traveled upward, spotting the beer in his hand. The man lifted it to his lips, taking a swig. You noticed
a strange frost coating the bottle, Bobby must be around too.You quickly whisked your tears away, eyeing him.
"Thinking you should've stayed here instead of letting hawk boy get you all rallied up?" Logan finally spoke, lifting a brow. He sighed, making his way over to you, taking a seat behind you on your bed.
You sniffed, taking a breath.
"Ofcourse. You were right. You're always right. " you sounded crushed.
It wasn't what he was going for, he had read the messages.
"I also told you a relationship like that would be hard to maintain."
"Oh so I'm going to be like the famous wolverine and stay unattached for the rest of my long unhappy life, yeah? " you scoffed pushing away from the desk, you stood facing him.
"Hey!" He shot up, grabbing your wrist.
"Don't take this out on me Y/n, I've done you no harm. " his chest was heaving, he had not wanted to get into a fight with you. He let go of your wrist, you rubbed it lightly, a bruise already forming. Logan let out a breath, "Look. I'm sorry, Y/n-I didn't mean to- Shit."
"Logan, it's ok. Really. I've gotten way worse. Trust me. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...I'm just really stressed
right now. " you sat aways from him, staring at the floor, you have to move past this. Tonight though, you have to get sleep. Logan looked back at you, crumbling before him.
"You, you wanna talk about-"
"No.. Not really." You shook your head, rubbing your nose again.
"Well that was easy."
Logan smirked taking another sip of his beer, spilling abit when the smirk morphed into a smile, a genuine smile. "Hey I'm serious, just incase you wanted to- I'm just lettin you know I'm here for you."
You closed your eyes laughing, lightly punching his arm. "I thought the Wolverine didn't do sappy?."
You wiped the last few tears that escape your eyes, Logan grabbed your hand in his, tugging you from your bed. You suspiciously eyed him, you had never seen him like this.
"Y/n, come with me. I got somethin' that'll take your mind off things. ."
-----------------
"You can't be serious? You want to do this? Now?" You rested your hands on your hips as Logan opened the entrance to the danger room.
He smiled, nodding at you. "Dead serious. Come on, let's get rid of all that underlying pent up anger you've got."
" which translates to ' give Y/n a heart attack at one in the morning'! I thought we were headin out for food or something!"
"A little excercise won't hurt- like I said, it'll get your mind off things."
Logan shook his head turning towards you.
"You know what else can do that?
FOOD".you smiled weakly at him.
"And Your tellin' me you didn't notice getting on the elevator on the way up here? Wow, you must really be out of it."
"Hey, I've been through a lot today, gimme a break." You spoke entering the large room.
Logan pushed some controls while you changed into your old uniform. "Ugh I'm surprised this black and yellow atrocity still fits me." You chuckled, Logan looked briefly over your curves, turning back to the controls.
You followed him as the holograms appeared in the room, cuing up the drones.
"You look good by the way, just like you did the day you left.." Logan stated, punching a robot and diving amungst the artificial landscape before them.
"haha! Yeah. Not much has changed,
Now don't go gettin all sentimental on me." Extending your claws, you jumped up and averted two drones, slicing them down the middle.
"A lot has changed. Your an Avenger now, no room for the little guys anymore?."
You looked at him taking a breath,"I'm not looking for a fight if you're trying to start one. "
Your green iris' flicked to him, running around dogging the shots fired at him.
"Why Y/n- Why them?"he sprung into action, attacking the oncoming waves of robots.
"Logan...don't start this "
"How can I not. The whole team misses your- I miss you." Logan caught your eye, chest heaving, covered in a light layer of perspiration.
"Really? Pretty hard to tell considering your with Jean and Scott now. How's that by the way?" Your tone had turned sour, gutting the wires from the back of a few drones.
"Difficult...Complicated,
Just to name a few ".Logan paused, sheathing his claws, rubbing a hand over his knuckles.
"Exactly" finishing your section of the hologram, You bounded toward him.
"It's, I'm not sure. I think I'm falling for Jean." He exasperated a sigh, facing you.
"Oh is that suppose to be old news?.. Don't tell me it took you this long to see it." You stood, hands behind your back.
"Y/n, it's not like how I was with you, things are different now. "
"How are they different!?" You snapped. You rested a hand to your head. "I had loved you. Before Jean, back when you had no recollection who you were, just a set of dog tags and a name. Fuck LOGAN! I was actually feeling better until you bought up this old shit." You turned on your heel, quickly heading over to the door.
"Y/n, I still have feelings for you, and for her!" He yelled across the now vacant room.
You paused, reaching the door, Logan looked to you in anticipation.
"I don't know why you thought you'd tell me this and think I'd change my mind about- anything really. In all honesty, what do you want? You had me, somehow I wasn't enough for you and we can't be lovers and friends. Unlike you, I'm not interested in Jean. Haven't you learned anything from the past?"
Logan didn't know what he was expecting, maybe you return and if he protested enough, he could make you stay. You were his best friend, after what happen between the both of you, that was the line you had drawn perfectly clear, nothing more.
Logan approached you, pulling you into a hug, resting his chin on your head. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bought it up.." He let go of you, studying your expression. "Forgive
me?"
You stood on your tiptoes, leaving a peck on his cheek, avoiding eye contact.
"Thanks for the so called distraction Lo, I'll see you around."
