Victor huffed, laying on his stomach. He was in Logan’s room. Should he be? Of course not, but Val was being a cry baby and this was all he could think to do. Not even six months and the kid was already driving him up the wall. He had placed Val right beside him, the kid falling asleep as soon as he was laid down on Logan’s pillow. He stared at the kid.
“He smells like cigars and shit booze, really kid?” Victor mumbled. He couldn't really judge though, he was the same way. Logan's scent was very soothing and it had helped him plenty of times when he was stressed or overwhelmed. Which, to Victor, is ironic due to the age difference between himself and the baby. The baby had an excuse, he didn't. He laid his head down on the pillow, watching the little creature move slightly.
He listened to the breathing, soft and even, watched every little twitch and hitch of breath. He wished the little things helped lull him to sleep, but it didn't. He was on high alert. Always on high alert. The school was safe, so to speak, but it still worried Victor that something would happen. That something was lurking around the corner, waiting, planning. He wanted to keep Val safe, wanted him to always be safe, especially from the world outside.
Another huff left Victor. He turned on his side and closed his eyes. He needed sleep, just a little bit.
But hearing the door open had him sitting up right, glaring at the door and growling lowly as he waited for whoever it was to open the door fully. His initial fear and protective behavior had fallen when he smelled the air.
“The hell are you doing in my room?”
“Logan.” He breathed. Victor relaxed and watched the smaller man as he stood in the doorway, staring at Victor.
“Yeah, this is my room.” Logan grunted. Victor sighed, putting a hand through his hair. It had become a new habit of his over the last few months.
“He wouldn't sleep…” He mumbled, his ear twitching when the baby moved. He turned around to check on him. He let out a soft sigh when he noticed he was just fine. His shoulders relaxed and he turned back to look at Logan. The smaller man had come further into the room and closed the door behind him softly. He kept his footsteps light as he walked over to Victor.
“Kids gotten worse.” Logan mumbled. Victor nodded in response, his golden eyes following Logan's every step. Once Logan was right in front of him, he felt his very being relax at the closeness of the other man. “It's gonna be okay, Vic.” Logan continued. He put his hand on the back of Victor’s head, pulling his head to his chest. Victor relaxed against Logan, breathing in his scent and letting his eyes close.
He was so tired.
“Val's gonna be a menace when he's older.” Logan grunted. Victor let out a low chuckle, nodding his head slightly.
“Think he's already started that.” Victor yawned. He nuzzled his face closer into Logan's chest. “Just so tired…” He mumbled. Victor moved his hands and gently pulled on Logan's stupid, plaid shirt. “Come an’ sleep with us..” He muttered, looking up at Logan with pleading and sleepy eyes.
Logan, looking down on him, felt his eye twitch slightly and his face grow hot. Victor, since Valentino, had grown extra needy and absolutely adorable. He began kneading anything, he had his own room with a nest he had made, and he purred a lot. The girls liked when he purred and enjoyed being around him, especially after a fight. “He's like a giant massage chair, don't take this from us!” Jubilee had begged Logan when he decided he needed to speak with the girls. He couldn't fight them, not when Storm and Jean were actively making his life hell.
Logan liked Victor's purring. It was nice to see him all soft.
He put his hands on both of Victor’s cheeks. Victor's eyes grew soft and he melted into the touch, his pupils growing as he kept his eyes on Logan. Soft purrs began to leave Victor once Logan began to run his thumbs over Victor’s cheeks.
Logan was sure that if Victor had ears and a tail, they'd be twitching and just moving all about.
He leaned down slightly and pressed a kiss to Victor's forehead, earning him a soft whine. Their sex life was very frantic and aggressive, but with Valentino, it made it fairly hard for either of them to get anything done. So Logan kept it all soft and brief, especially after the last time he tried to get in Victor's pants. He would rather not have a repeat of almost getting his head ripped off.
“James..” Victor murmured. Logan gave a soft noise and pressed another kiss to Victor's cheek. He moved and began kissing Victor on the lips, growing slightly aggressive with the kissing. When he pulled from the aggressive kiss, Victor had a dazed expression. Logan gave a hum.
“Let's get you to bed.” He whispered. Logan nodded slowly, still dazed.
The two moved to lay down on the bed. Victor moved Valentino, putting him right between the two of them. Logan was a bit annoyed, but Victor's content purr caused the annoyance to disappear. He let out a soft huff, smiling when he saw Victor’s eyes close and his body relax. Val made a soft whine before he settled down.
Logan moved his hand to take Victor's, he held it tightly, bringing it to himself. Victor was getting touchy too and he knew this would help, even a little bit. And Logan believes that the purr that leaves Victor tells him he did the right thing.
With a smile, Logan let his eyes close.
