Thread: X-Men Evolved

Logan. Cassie sighed heavily but didn't move. What do you want from me? Apologies, for starters, he kept his eyes on the floor as he clasped his hands together. It doesn't feel like you care when you try to make me jealous all the time. I feel like a toy. Then, you just laugh at my concerns that really bother me. What am I supposed to do? Everything bothers you, Logan, Cassie muttered, still keeping her back to the man. If I took it all seriously I'd be as miserable as you. When it comes to-! he stopped why he realized he was raising his voice. Why can't you at least take it seriously when it concerns you? Logan was met with a long silence. I don't know, Cassie finally replied, sounding like a petulant child. Figure it out, he sighed. It takes two people to work at a relationship. Sometimes it feels like you are just here for the ride. But...I was serious when I said I wanted to marry you. I don't want to feel like the only one working at this. Were you also serious when you said you didn't want to marry me? she challenged. I never said I didn't want to marry you, he snipped. You said you couldn't marry a child, and that's what I was. Am. How was I supposed to take that? Cassie mumbled, no venom in her words. I also said that I would go out and enjoy myself with someome else. And you did. I didn't, he replied softly. I was with Kurt all night. Just drinking at the bar. Silence again. Then, ...Thank you. I love you, Cassie, Logan was soft in tone. But, I needed you to feel what I feel when you make jokes like that, and even more when you actually do it. It's not- The woman cut off her protest. What meant nothing to her was clearly hurting him. And insisting that it shouldn't wasn't going to change that. Swallowing her pride, she sat up and faced him. I'm sorry, she sighed quietly, wearily. Logan looked over his shoulder, looking weary himself. He turned to better face her and he gently gripped a hand to hold as he tapped his forehead against hers. I love you. Cassie tried to smile but it faded quickly and she closed her eyes as she murmured, I know. Her other hand rested lightly on top of Logan's. I'm sorry, she repeated. That I hurt you. Me, too, Logan sighed. Don't leave, please. I just don't know, Logan. Too tired to fight, Logan simply nuzzled his nose against hers, Can I kiss you? Yeah, Cassie finally smiled. His own lips quirking upwards, Logan meshed his mouth against hers. Softly, at first, without much pressure, and slowly he increased his touch. Cassandra kissed him back gently, her hands soon coming up to either side of Logan's face to pull him away just an inch. I'm so sorry, she breathed. Logan cupped her cheeks, thumbs stroking just beneath her eyes, I know. He pulled her forward to place a kiss to her forehead, then quickly to her lips, I know. I love you. She let her hands trail slowly down his neck and chest to rest on his thighs, their foreheads together. I don't mean to hurt you. Large hands slipped down to soothingly stroke Cassandra's neck. Logan murmured, I know, but...sometimes it doesn't feel that way. Cassie nuzzled her nose against his sharp features and jaw until she could lay her head on Logan's shoulder. I-... She sighed. It was hard trying not to defender herself or explain her actions, but that just seemed to hurt him more. I guess not. He ran his hands up the back of her neck and into her hair, I'm sorry, too. For saying some shit. Sometimes I think I'm not what you're looking for, Cassie admitted quietly, fingers anxiously messing with the hem of his shirt. We're so different, she continued, voice hushed. And I'm... it's... complicated. I like it complicated, Logan attempted a chuckle before he placed a kiss above her eye. Or, Bobby. For the record, Cassie actually smiled, Bobby was not exactly a willing participant. Great, my fiance is a rapist now, the wolverine rolled his eyes as he shook his head. Though, he wasn't serious. Cassandra giggled, wrapping her arms around Logan's middle and burying her face in his neck. I missed you, she whispered. They still had a lot to work out but she was just happy that the man she loved still felt the same way. Logan kept her close, resting his chin atop her head. I missed you, too. I really am sorry, she said quietly, becoming serious once again. That kind of thing, with Willie, is nothing to me normal. I didn't even think about it. Cassie clung to Logan, not wanting to him to see her or her burning cheeks. But I should've. Because I have you now. Logan sighed, Just please remember it. I get why you didn't think about it. But...in the future... Doing weird shit with Wade WAS normal. And in the future it would still be normal. And to completely change her normal because Logan wanted her too.... That was hard. And maybe she didn't want to. I know, I know, Cassie sighed, only pretending to be serious. In the future you want in because you secretly have a thing for Willie and doing former students, I get it. Logan's hand wandered to her sides, he gave a slight ticklish pinch as he gruffly replied, That's not funny. Cassie squeaked, giggling. Is too! Her hands wrapped around his and pushed them away, but didn't let go. In the future, what? she asked, still smiling as she pulled back to look at Logan. Smiling, Logan still seemed a bit thoughtful and wary of his words. Just think of me in the back of your mind. That is terrible, terrible advice, Cassie told him flatly. In her imagination, getting involved in one of Wade's messes while thinking of Logan would be hot as hell. I mean it, Cass, the wolverine insisted as he squeezed her hands. So do I, the woman chuckled, squeezing back. That's kind of a huge turn on. It should be more of a turn on to have the real thing in front of you, Logan snarled, though it was more of a snarl of arousal than anger. Cassie smiled, bringing one of Logan's hands up to kiss between his knuckles, eyes locked on his. In a different way, she admitted teasingly. Logan released a long groan. He pulled her close and allowed himself to slump over her as he hung his head over her shoulder. I'm tired. Cassandra wrapped her arms around Logan, loving his weight. I wonder why, she murmured, sarcastic but sweet as she combed a hand through his hair. Logan nearly purred at her touch and he snorted, You should see the elf. Poor thing must be completely hammered, Cassie smirked, massaging her fingers into his scalp. Hope he wasn't planning on seeing Holly today. Logan huffed, Maybe I'll play nice and let her take care of his bedridden self. Give 'em an inch, they'll take a mile, she hummed, working her fingers down to the base of Logan's skull. The wolverine nuzzled into Cassie's flesh and he murmured, Think they'll fuck while he's hungover? Ooo, Cassie cringed, thinking of the splitting headaches she'd had in the past. You've never actually been hungover, have you? If I have, I don't remember. Lucky you, the woman chuckled, kneading the nape of Logan's neck. If Kurt's anything like me and Bobby, he won't even open his eyes today. He doesn't need to look at her to fuck her, Logan's hands found their way to Cassie's back. Lazily drawing small circles. Cassie giggled, grazing her nails over the back of Logan's neck. Nasty. C'mere, she murmured, gently laying back down and pulling Logan with her, settling his head over her heart. Forget the shower. Stay in bed. And give Kurt a break make up your mind. Logan purred, Need a shower. Later, Cassie whined, holding him tightly. Bath, maybe. I stink, the wolverine murmured. Don't care, she mumbled. He smelled like sweat and beer, cigar smoke and anger, a hint of cologne leftover from the previous morning with some aftershave thrown in. To Cassie, right now, it was heavenly. Kinda into it. Logan snorted, wrapping his arms the best he could between Cassandra's body and the bed, I though Kurt had a taste for strange women. Rude, Cassie giggled, shoving a hand in Logan's face, pushing his head back playfully. The man didn't resist. He kissed her palm, gingerly. Then her wrist before resting his head on her chest. I love you, the woman murmured, petting Logan's hair gently like he was a cat. Even if you do stink, Cassie teased, giving his ear a pinch. However, there was no response. Logan was out like a light. Deep in slumber after a long night out, and heavy emotional stress. Cassandra chuckled, going back to running her fingers slowly through his hair. She was more than happy to stay snuggled with Logan while he slept. Being without him, even just for the one night, was distressing. She needed this. You're crooked. Kurt, who was reaching up to straighten the banner while everyone else was running around and trying to fix everything up last minute, instantly replied without looking, I know, zat is vhy I am fixing zis. I am talking about your tie, Kurt. Confused, the indigo man looked over his shoulder to see Ororo with her arms crossed and a smile on her lips. Ororo! he nearly dropped the banner, You look beautiful. The woman laughed brightly, Thank you, Kurt. But be careful while you're up there. Ororo was truly stunning in a floor length embeleshed orange dress, heavy beaded necklace adding to her natural African priestess look. And then let me fix your tie. A little more to the left! Bobby instructed his friend as he built up a decorative ice sculpture on the punch table. That's what Petey says when I'm inside of him, Wade giggled, sitting atop the snack table and holding Peter Parker close to him as he watched everyone run around in a frenzy. He nuzzled into the younger's neck, rubbing his stomach gently. Bobby glared over his shoulder at the non-mutant as he worked. Shut up, Peter muttered, smacking Wade in the face with an empty chips bag. You're the X-man here, shouldn't this be your job? the spider complained, pulling open another bag to dump into the oversized bowl. Not an X-man, Wade purred, nibbling the side of the young man's neck. They just want my dick. Thanks for the help, Peter, Rouge shouted out as Remy helped her carry the plastic dishes and utensils. You say that about everybody, Peter reminded him, one hand pushing Wade's face away. And no, it's not true. But he shot a grin at Rogue, You guys looked like you needed it. I don't know how we manage to run behind every single year, Cassie chimed in as she set up glasses of punch beside Bobby. But I think it's a tradition at this point. Vell, at least ve are almost done, Kurt sighed, settling the banner and porting down in front of Ororo. He fiddled with his bow, but the woman laughed and swatted his hands away playfully, Let me. Can you do me next, Ororo? Bobby asked hopefully, putting the finishing touches on his sculpture with one hand and added ice cubes to cups Cassie set out with the other. His bowtie hung undone around his neck. In fact, Bobby wasn't wearing his jacket, either, and had his sleeves unbuttoned and rolled up past his elbows. I can do you now, Blondie Wade called out, snuggling from behind Parker and grinding his pelvis into the brunette's ass. Petey will join us Bobby frowned, Uh, no thanks. Cut it out, Wade, Peter hissed, spilling some pretzels. If you don't behave, I'll leave. Trying to change the subject, Forge popped up from behind the speakers and inquired, Anyone seen Logan and Jean? Now that you mention it, Ororo pulled Kurt's bow tie tight and smoothed out his jacket lapels, no. I haven't seen Scott or Charles, either. Must be plannin' somethin' big, Rogue said. Or somethin's gone wrong. Let's pray it is not zat, Kurt chuckled nervously before thanking his friend. Is Hank going to lead da kids over? Remy asked while Rogue and he finished their job. Yes, Ororo confirmed. And soon, too. How is the sound system coming, Forge? I call DJ! Wade exclaimed, a hand shooting in the air. No, Forge snapped at the merc before turning his attention to Ororo. It should hold up, but Jean is supposed to hand me the playlist. Wade rolled his eyes at being rejected but quickly bounced back. Petey, let's go find them! He tugged on the young man's sleeve. I haven't gotten to say hi to Wolvie today, anyway. Peter shook his head, You brought me all the way out here. You're not gonna mess it up by getting yourself kicked out because you pissed Logan off. Wolvie could never kick me out, right Mickey? Don't drag me into this, Cassie shook her head. They're probably just in Jean's office and lost track of time, she mentioned to Ororo. Can't someone just 'call' Charles or something? Ouch, Peter snorted at the rejection Wade received. I vill got get it, Kurt offered. Ze playlist since I vill be faster. Don't make fun of me, Wade mumbled, bumping his nose into the shell of Peter's ear. I'll make you regret it. Thank you, Kurt, Ororo replied with a gracious smile. Is everyone else close to ready? The students will be here soon. Done here, Cassie nodded. Yup, Bobby added, fiddling with his bow tie. Peter deadpanned, Just one more to add to the list. Ororo bobbed her head in acknowledgement, All right, Kurt. Charles said that they are all on their way. They are walking through the main entryway at this moment. Wade just chuckled and squeezed Peter tight around his middle, before moving them both off the snack table. Look alive, Petey. He glanced at Bobby, who was still struggling with his tie. C'mere, Blondie. Lemme fix that for you. Bobby, however, gave both Peter and Wade a strange look before turning to Cassandra. Where's your jacket? she inquired, untying the knot the blonde had accidentally created. Too hot, he shrugged. Remy had an arm slung over Rogue's shoulder as they waited. You look more beautiful den eva, chri. Kurt had ported to where Jean and the other's were and within a few seconds returned with the flashdrive. Handing it to Forge, the German smiled, Zey are almost here. Thanks, Forge replied, fitting the drive into the computer and queuing up the first song. He kept the volume low as the place was quiet for now. The double doors opened suddenly, and a crush of students streamed in on either side of Hank. The music was quickly drowned out by 'ooh's and 'ah's as the kids took in the decorations. The majority of them had been to a year-end dance at the institute before but they were no less awed as the first years. Break it up you two, Rogue hummed as she passed Wade and Peter. The kids are all here. Kurt's tail curled at the sight of the students, his golden eyes glowing and wide as they searched and searched. We're not doing anything, Wade protested with a pout, but he released Peter from his hold after leaving a quick kiss on the man's neck. A massive blue paw came down on Nightcrawler's shoulder. Sorry Kurt, Hank sighed. She's not here tonight. The indigo man wanted to play it off at first. Like he wasn't looking for anyone in particular. However, his face quickly fell at the news, tail drooping as Deimos stepped into view.
