Chapter Twentyone
A few weeks of this carried on the X-Men, minus Jean who was babysitting Melissa, had taken the students to the museum of national history on a field trip.
"Harry Oleson hands off that, it's not a toy it’s a relic of ancient history!"
"Sorry professor Mokuba"
Mokuba rolled his eyes amusement all over his face before turning to Scott who was watching one of the TV documentaries.
Mokuba wore a black shirt, dark purple shirt, blue jeans, black trainers and boots and Scott wore a black shirt, leather jacket, blue jeans and black boots.
They smiled lovingly at each other before Mokuba multiple voices came at him at once making him wince, fucking hell not again Mokuba thought cursing under his breath as he became overwhelmed.
His pain caused things to shake catching Scott's attention.
"Mokie? Baby you okay?"
Mokuba jumped as Scott gently wrapped his arms around his waist "yeah, I'm fine" Mokuba assured leaning into his embrace, "I’m just...feeling sensitive that's all" Mokuba told him who gently kissed his head.
"It's not just that, is it?"
Mokuba sighed at that before Scott frowned "I wasn't really sure how to say this to you but ever since Melissa's been born you've been different" Scott told him and Mokuba chuckled weakly, "well yeah I know that it’s a lot to adjust with I love her don’t get me wrong but ever since she was born I can't seem to shake back to myself" Mokuba told him simply.
"You're telling me you get stressed the whole damn place shakes, it's even worse when you have nightmares, you very nearly shatter everything in our room, but you never remember" Scott told him pushing his hair back behind his ear, Mokuba looked up at that surprised “you know they’ve…” Mokuba trailed off as Scott chuckled dryly.
“I’m your husband Mokuba, you’d think I wouldn’t notice your nightmares are returning, they still the same as the ones you used to get?” Scott asked softly and Mokuba shock his head, “They’re getting worse Scott but...they're different, I keep seeing something terrible happen to our baby and I…I watch her die, I watch our little girl die I’m scared to leave her alone for even a second because I keep dreaming she’s going to die" Mokuba admitted his voice breaking.
"Oh Mokie"
Scott's face filled with pain and sorrow before he turned Mokuba to him and pulled his partner into his arms for a hug, who wrapped his arms around him burying his face into his neck.
"I would never let anything happen to the both of you, you know that don't you?"
"I do baby, I do"
Mokuba closed his eyes and took comfort in Scott's arms, taking him back to when they were teenagers.
12 years ago
"Hey Scott! Scott!”
18-year-old Scott Summers chuckled as 16-year-old Mokuba Jones appeared in his room "Hey Mokie, you’re in a good mood?" Scott asked amused, Mokuba rolled his eyes "Well you downer, it's a new moon which makes it easy to see the stars" Mokuba told him grinning.
"So let me guess you're gonna sneak out to see them?”
"Nope, we are"
Scott looked at him in disbelief "we are not, you get detention all you want but I'm not pissing off the professor because you want to sneak up to the roof to see the stars" Scott told him who rolled his eyes, "Come on Scotty, it’s not like I’m asking you to help me bury a body, it's star watching" Mokuba told him holding out his hand.
"Mo..."
"Please?"
Scott rolled his eyes before taking Mokuba's hand, making him grin largely.
Scott smiled softly before Mokuba teleported them to the roof.
Scott and Mokuba looked up at the stars.
"So, they're pretty?"
Mokuba snorted "Pretty? Look" Mokuba told him pointing to some stars "That's Ara, it was an altar used by the gods to pledge allegiance before battle with the Titans.", Scott looked surprised at that "really?" Scott asked and Mokuba nodded.
"Yep and that one there" Mokuba said pointing another out "That's the Corona Borealis, northern crown.", Scott looked impressed at that "How do you know all this?" Scott asked causing Mokuba to look down bashfully.
"I…uh...kinda love astrology"
Scott chuckled at that before Mokuba began to go on and on about the stars, Scott just watched lovingly till his eyes widened in realization.
"Holy shit I'm in love with you"
Mokuba froze at that "You what?!" Mokuba asked surprised and after a few minutes Scott nodded, "I think I'm falling in love with you" Scott repeated causing Mokuba to look down awkwardly.
"You don't want to do that" Mokuba told him simply causing Scott to frown, "What? Why?" Scott asked frowning and Mokuba sighed.
"I'm broken Scott"
Scott looked concerned at that before he stepped closer, "I know that Mokie, but I promise you I won't break your heart" Scott told him who pulled his face, "What if I shatter?" Mokuba quietly inquired.
"I won't let that happen"
Mokuba sighed "I don't know what love feels like Scott I feel happy whenever you’re around and sad when you’re not but I’ve never been in love or known what it was to know if what I’m feeling is love" Mokuba admitted making Scott soften, Scott moved forward and cupped his face who didn’t shy away from his touch "maybe I can teach you" Scott said before leaning down to kiss him.
Mokuba instantly kissed back, melting into the kiss.
Now.
Mokuba backed away from Scott rubbing his face to sort himself out "we need to be heading back now, so we should get back to doing our jobs before our students wreck the museum" Mokuba told Scott who chuckled, "I don't care if the whole world was waiting for us, as long as I’ve got you they can all wait" Scott told him who chuckled.
"You damn Flirt"
Scott smiled, Scott leaned down to kiss his head before he turned to the kids "okay kids, let's go" Scott ordered getting all the kids in line.
As they and the students headed to the exit they saw Storm with a group of kids and walked up to greet her.
"Storm hey"
Storm smiled softly at them "hey guys, how was the medical exhibit?" Storm asked and Mokuba chuckled, "the kids liked it, Scott was bored" Mokuba told him simply making Scott nudge him.
"It was boring"
"He preferred the dinosaurs"
Scott rolled his eyes at that "are we ready to go?" Scott asked and Storm shook her head, "No, Rogue, John and Bobby sneaked off I don't know where they are" Storm told them and Mokuba and Scott rolled their eyes in amusement.
"Teenagers"
Mokuba smirked at that "like we were ever innocent" Mokuba told him making his husband nudge him, "I'll find them, take the rest to the bus," Mokuba told Scott and Storm who nodded.
"Got it"
As they left Mokuba headed off to find his missing students, with how sensitive Mokuba's senses have been he heard Rogue telling John off a mile away in the cafeteria.
Of course, should’ve checked their first Mokuba thought.
He found Rogue, Bobby Drake, and John Allerdyce with a bunch of teenage boys, with John about ready to set the cigarette one of them was smoking on fire that could lead to a very big scene.
Mokuba quickly moved forward to place a hand on John's shoulder to calm him down and sgussed his shoulder.
"Hey, there you guys are"
"Professor?"
"You're a teacher?" The boy with the cigarette in his mouth questioned and Mokuba rolled his eyes, "Casual Friday, come on kids, we've got to head back," Mokuba told his students.
"Yes of course" Rogue agreed pulling Bobby and John up, Mokuba nodded with smile "Thank you Rogue" Mokuba told her thankfully before they headed to the bus.
"Are we in trouble?"
Mokuba chuckled at Bobby's question "I’m not going to tell the professor if that's what you're asking I was your age not too long ago I get that’s more fun than the museum" Mokuba assured, Bobby nodded "thanks" Bobby told him who nodded.
"Mutant attack Whitehouse!"
