Chapter Text
I felt a slight movement underneath my left side making me jump up out of bed.
Scott’s face showed panic while he jumped up as well.
What was he doing here?!
“What are you doing here!” I sputtered out of my mouth before I remembered the events of last night.
Scott gave me a look I could understand before he replied “You fell asleep before I could leave, so I stayed.”
Oh, right…
He must have seen my face turn red as I glared at him.
“get out,” I said forcefully.
“Well, I couldn’t move, you’re like a thousand pounds!” He spat out trying to explain himself.
“You don’t need to explain, just get out!”
He began to walk towards the door to my room before pausing like he was going to say something, but nothing came out and he began walking out into the hallway.
I put my head in my hands rubbing my eyes, I don’t want to think about that right now. I decided I would just go downstairs and find the others.

I walked into the kitchen, smelling to breakfast that Jean had been making, surprisingly there were no kids yet, but Ororo and Scott were sitting at the island. Of course, the only seat open was by Scott. I chose to stand.
“good morning Logan, did you sleep well?” Ororo asked.
“yeah, I guess.”
I glanced at Scott, he wasn’t paying attention he was doing a crossword in the newspaper from yesterday.
Ororo seemed to not know anything but Jean turned her had to look at me and then Scott. I’m guessing she read one of our minds, maybe Scott wasn’t thinking about it, I doubt it though.
Scott seemed unfazed by the tension in the air.
“how much do you want?” Jean said breaking the silence in the air.
“how much you’ll give me.” My stomach was growling from not eating anything yesterday. She handed me a full plate of pancakes and everything else she was whipping up.
I was hesitant to take a bite, it made me realize that I hadn’t eaten anything that wasn’t meat. I was staring at the plate not knowing what to do, she had given me a fork, but don’t remember how to use it. I guess my instincts will have to lead me.
I shoveled the food into my mouth barely even chewing, It tasted so good compared to the meat I had been eating all this time.
“you might want to slow down” Scott was looking at me in shock.
This had brought the attention of the girls to me, I don’t care, this was too good to not enjoy it.
After I was finished, I placed my dish in the sink and thanked Jean for the food, I was going to go back to my room but Ororo stopped me,
“you aren’t going to stay? We were going to talk about today’s plans.”
I walked back over to the island, standing across from Scott.
“Why don’t you sit down, Logan.” Jean had said in a smug tone.
She definitely knows…
I sat down next to Scott.
I zoned out for most of the conversation, stuck in my head, I made this morning awkward myself, Scott didn’t seem embarrassed, but it was to me. I didn’t know why I did that. I barely even knew him, and I fell asleep on him. That is the worst thing that could happen right now.
I stood up going back to my room, not saying anything after the three of them finished going through today's plans.
I sat on the edge of my bed thinking over what had happened. I didn't want to admit that I liked Scott. He has been nothing but nice and I haven't done the same.
I heard someone walking towards my door, It was Scott. He knocked on my door,
“Can I come in Logan?”
“Sure.”
He walked in closing the door behind him and sat down next to me. I was looking down at the ground, I fully expected him to say something, but not a word came out, I don’t think he knows what to say.
“I'm sorry for yelling at you this morning,” I say.
“I'm sorry for scaring you, I didn’t mean to, I just… miss you.” Scott sounded genuinely sorry, I don’t want him to be, he didn’t do anything wrong.
“Don’t be, you did Nothing wrong, Besides I needed that last night. It did help, I actually got a good night sleep.” I say trying to lighten the mood, I don’t want to have emotions.
“That’s good.” he seems hurt that I don’t remember anything from before I was captured and experimented on. I didn’t know what to do, So I wrapped my arms around him giving him an awkward side hug. I can feel that he wants to let it all out, but he doesn’t. We stay like this for a while before he lets go and stands up.
“I have something to tell you.”
“oh?” I respond.
“Charles says he may have found a way to bring your memories back.”
He looks at me expectantly for a slight second before relaxing his face.
I give him a confused look.
I think it will work, but I’m not for sure.”
Scott put his hand out in front of me to take. I’m sure he wants to go to Charles’s office. I place my hand in his. He pulls me off the bed and I follow behind him as we walk.
