My Friend, My Lover
Chapter 20: Confrontation

**************************************************

The day after the dance set off a firestorm of rumors at the Xavier Institute. For the most part, Scott and Jean kept to themselves for the rest of the dance. But after having been unknowingly spotted by Rogue coming out of the weight room, much of the suspicions surrounding them were all coming to ahead.

At first, few paid attention since they were so caught up in their own affairs. Kurt was literally walking on air after his first night with Amanda, acting like a lovesick puppy everywhere he went. He told everybody that Amanda had known about his true form even before she asked him out and remarkably, she accepted him. And after a lifetime of hiding, it was a welcome feeling.

Bobby and Jubilee hit it off as well, sharing a deep kiss right outside the dance for all to see, an act which they would not live down anytime soon. Even Roberto and Rahne got pretty close and by the end of the night, they were holding hands and smiling.

The only person who didn't seem all too thrilled with how the night had gone was Kitty Pryde, who had gone with Lance. But it didn't turn out as she had hoped. Since the rest of the Brotherhood was there, they endured a lot of teasing, putting Lance in a mood that soured the rest of the dance.

But once the night was over and everybody filed downstairs to the kitchen the next morning, Rogue didn't waste any time in telling everybody what she had seen. However, to the others, it all seemed a bit much.

"Ah'm tellin' ya guys! Ah know what Ah saw!" exclaimed Rogue as she told Bobby, Kitty, Kurt, and Jubilee her story.

"Rogue, is it at all out of the realm of possibility that you could be, like, stretching the truth?" said an exasperated Kitty as she got herself a plate of eggs, "Scott and Jean being together is one thing, but saying that they were actually having sex in a school weight room? I mean, come on! This is Cyclops and Jean Grey we're talking about here!"

"Believe what ya want, Kitty, but that's what happened!" said Rogue definitively, "Ah was there and none of y'all were even close!"

"Vow, take it easy, Rogue!" said Kurt, holding his hands up in defense, "I zhink you may be obsessing over zhis a little too much."

"Yeah, well maybe y'all aren't obsessin' over it enough!"

"Not enough?" laughed Jubilee, keeping her distance as she and Bobby began dishing out some food, "Honestly Rogue, I don't see what the big deal is. So Scott and Jean finally got their act together. Why should that be a problem?"

Rogue was beyond frustrated. She knew everybody was still in their own little fantasy world after the dance last night and since she didn't have a date, she was probably the only one thinking coherently now. But that didn't stop her from making her point.

"Look, Scott and Jean bein' an item ain't the problem," said Rogue, trying to sound calmer, "It's more that Ah caught them walkin' out of a room that was supposed to be locked with their clothes wrinkled, their hair a mess, and two goofy lookin' smiles on their faces. Now Ah know Ah ain't much for romantics, but ain't that a clear sign that somethin' happened? Something that probably involved more than just talkin'?"

A brief silence fell over the four youngsters as they considered Rogue's words. After hearing it the first time, they just brushed it off since they knew that Scott Summers and Jean Grey would never do something like fuck in a weight room. They were the goody role models of the institute, not a couple of sex freaks.

But still, that didn't make what Rogue was saying any less valid. And if it was true, then what could this imply?

"I'm sorry, Rogue. But I just don't see it," said Jubilee, shaking her head, "I mean yeah, I can see Scott and Jean finally hooking up. But to say that they're already so hot and heavy is just...Weird."

"Oh I don't know, Jubes," said Bobby as he took a moment to ponder this, "Come to think of it, something like this sure would explain a lot."

"Ja, like vhy zhose two have been so chipper zhe last few months," said Kurt, who was beginning to see it as well.

"Chipper from what?" asked Jubilee, not seeing how this all related, "What do the last few months have to do with what happened last night?"

"Oh come on, Jubilee!" said Rogue, rolling her eyes at the young girls naivety, "Just put the pieces together, will ya? Go back to that week when they ended their relationships, couldn't do shit in the Danger Room, and were workin' themselves silly! Then look at how quickly it all changed! Somethin' had to happen...Somethin' that Ah think we all know has to do with the birds and the bees."

"Yeah, like, maybe Scott and Jean just snapped that night and tore each others clothes off and had sex. And the next morning could be, like, the afterglow!" said Kitty, now starting to find this believable.

"But zhen how vould zhat explain zheir mood over the following veeks?" asked Kurt.

"Easy, blue boy...They kept on doin' it!" said Rogue definitively, "It's the only thing that makes sense! Scott and Jean have been humpin' like jack rabbits behind our backs!"

"But how would sex explain their mood?" asked Jubilee.

"Hey, if I got to have sex with Jean on a regular basis, I can't say I wouldn't be that happy all the time either," shrugged Bobby with a grin.

That earned him a punch on the shoulder from Jubilee, but Bobby had made his point. Constant sex could be the thing that had been causing all this commotion from the get go. While it was still a bit hard to believe that two overachievers like Scott and Jean would do something like this, there wasn't any other explanation.

"See...Ah rest mah case," said Rogue in triumph, "Scott an' Jean have been havin' sex and what Ah saw last night proves it! They've been hidin' it for too damn long and Ah think it's time we finally got them to come clean!"

"Oh, so you want to get them to admit it?" laughed Bobby, "No offense Rogue, but I'd rather not confront someone who can go into my mind and make me think I'm a two year old again."

"Yeah, remember her power surge?" said Jubilee, "Putting her on the spot would probably not be healthy."

"Ja. And besides, vhat good vould it do if zhey admitted it anyways? Tell zhe Professor? Tell Logan?" said Kurt as he grabbed an apple.

"Yeah, like he'd care," said Bobby, rolling his eyes, "Logan's been really different ever since he and Storm hooked up. I swear, seeing him smile never stops freaking me out."

"You and me both, Iceman," said Jubilee, "And I don't see the Professor making a big deal out of all this. I mean, even if Scott and Jean have been having sex all this time, I don't see how it hurts anybody. Hell, I can see some benefits to it!"

"Yeah, maybe that was why they were so uptight to begin with!" said Bobby, laughing at his new girlfriend's comments, "They just needed to get laid!"

That caused a round of laughter throughout the kitchen. However, Rogue was not amused. Maybe it was because she had once had a crush on Scott, but this took on a much greater sense of urgency in her mind. Mr. and Mrs. X-man were getting busy behind all their backs and she was the only one that got worked up about it. That alone made confronting Jean all the more necessary.

"Fine! If y'all don't want to confront her about it, then Ah'll do it mahself!" shot Rogue as she marched off.

"Yourself?! Rogue, wait! Don't leave me out of this!" said Kitty as she pursued her friend and roommate.

Kitty ended up being the only one willing to follow Rogue. Bobby, Jubilee, and Kurt had no interest in just walking up to Jean or Scott and asking them if they've been having sex. And besides, they had other things to do with their time now.

"You think she'll really confront them?" asked Bobby, snaking his arm around Jubilee's waist in playful manner.

"God help her if she does," laughed Jubilee, who played back as she and Bobby walked off hand in hand.

"I don't doubt zhat," said Kurt with a sigh, "But zhankfully, I have other matters to attend to at the moment. Zhere's a beautiful girl across town zhat's vaiting for me to call her and I have no intentions of making her vait!"

**************************************************

While Kitty and Rogue ran off into the foyer, Jean was downstairs in the infirmary getting a long overdue checkup from Hank. After her power surge, the Professor insisted that they monitor her health, but with the chaos of school and her love life getting in the way, she had little time to squeeze it in. But it was the weekend now and she finally had a chance to get it out of the way.

And besides, it was a perfect time to get her health checked. After last night, she had never been happier. She and Scott were starting a new relationship together and things between them seemed poised to develop into something beautiful.

She had gone to sleep with a wide smile on her face last night and she looked forward to doing it more often now that things between her and Scott were finally opening up and her mood reflected her test results as Hank picked up her charts and read them with a smile.

"Well Jean, I have to say I was worried about the progress of your health a few months ago after your power surge. But I can safely say that you've put my fears to rest now."

"That's a relief. I was getting kind of worried myself," said Jean as she put her shirt back on and stretched her limbs.

"Well either way, I don't see any reason to be concerned at the moment," said Hank with a smile, "On your last checkup, your adrenaline levels and hormonal balance was off the chart. Now they're all in perfect balance. I also noticed that your blood pressure went down, you're metabolic rate has settled, and your EKGs are no longer erratic."

"But what about my mind?" she asked as she hopped off the examining table.

"That's looking even better, believe it or not," said Hank with a mild chuckle, "In looking at the scans that Charles gave me, your powers seem to have stabilized over the past few months. The chemical balance in your brain is excellent and the blocks on your mind are holding up well."

"That would explain the lack of headaches," said Jean, who couldn't help but smile at this news.

"Yes, that's another thing," said Hank as he set the charts down, "I've also noticed that you've been rather poised lately."

"What do you mean?" asked Jean, fighting off a slight blush, not sure if Hank knew what she and Scott had been doing since her last checkup.

Hank cast the young redhead a knowing look. While he never said it, he had seen some of the signs between her and Scott a while back. The way they moved, the way they walked, the way they acted...It wasn't that hard to figure out. Yet still, he respected Jean's private nature and kept his knowledge subtle.

"My dear, you are relaxed, happy, and utterly balanced in both mind and body. I can't begin to describe what a turnaround this is. Your health is excellent, your powers are in check, and everything seems to be in working order. I don't know what you've been doing to initiate this wondrous change, but I implore you to keep it up! Just keep taking your pills and give your body and mind everything it needs."

"Oh don't worry, Mr. McCoy...I will," said Jean with a grin, knowing all too well what that implied.

With one final approving glance, Jean made her leave while Hank put the charts away. She let out a slight yawn, never one for these early morning checkups. But since Hank liked to get an early start and was strict about blood work being done when their metabolic rate was stable after sleep, there were few ways of getting around it.

But coming out with a clean bill of health definitely made it all worth while for Jean Grey. Ever since her power surge, she had been very concerned about her health. It was something that the Professor, Scott, and her parents shared, but to know that her mind and body was finally settling was a much welcomed development.

Although hearing this news also did make her ponder a few things, mainly centering around why such a change had occurred. There had been only one significant development for her since her power surge...Sex. And since she and Scott started doing it, she felt plenty of effects. But never in a million years did she think that it could affect her like this.

'Damn...Who would have thought that constant sex would do wonders for my health?' she thought to herself as she made her way towards the elevators, 'Guess that means I have to keep having sex with Scott in order to keep myself balanced. Oh well...Doctors orders. I'm sure he won't mind.'

With that thought in mind, Jean entered the elevator and ascended to the second floor. Once she was there, she retreated to her room where she planned to change into something a bit more comfortable and spend her Saturday lounging around the institute celebrating her good health.

But as soon as she entered her room, she was met with a couple of visitors.

"Jean? Hey Jean, ya got a minute? We need to talk," said Rogue, standing in her doorway with Kitty by her side.

Jean let out a groan. Rogue had been giving her the third degree for a while now. Ever since she began pressuring her about her love life with Scott, she had been trying to avoid her. Now she would have to do it again.

"Could it wait, Rogue?" she asked casually, "I have to change and get downstairs before all the hash browns are gone."

"Don't worry. This will only take a minute," said Rogue as she and Kitty stepped in, closing the door behind them.

This act, while innocent enough, sent a grim message to Jean. It was almost like they were boxing her in as if to say, 'there's no escape this time.' Yet still, Jean kept her cool. She had done this plenty of times before and she could do it again.

"Okay, so what's this about?" she asked, casually leaning on her bed, ignoring the glare that Rogue was giving her.

"Well, you see, Jean..." said Kitty, struggling to use the right words, "Rogue and I were just wondering about...Well it's like this, we..."

Kitty was stalling. Rogue saw this and rolled her eyes. She was never one to hold back or stammer at moments like this. She had gotten her to come along since she seemed to be the only one with the same level of concern. And for the most part, she just wanted to see if it was true.

For Rogue, however, she was a bit more militant about getting the truth out.

"Aw dang, Kit! Just spit it out already! Jean, this is about two things...Last night and Scott Summers. Ya get where Ah'm goin' with this?"

Jean had a feeling this would come up, but she had no idea that Rogue would be so confrontational. Then again, after having brushed her off so many times before, maybe she shouldn't have been surprised.

This was not something Jean wanted to confront. She and Scott were just beginning to build a new relationship and they didn't need complications like this getting in the way.

"Rogue..." began Jean, hoping to use her usual tactics to make this go away.

However, Rogue was quick to cut her off.

"Jean, don't start," she said, shaking her head in an exasperated manner, "Ah know where this is gonna go. You're gonna start by sayin' that ya don't know what Ah'm talkin' about. Then we're gonna go back and forth for a good fifteen minutes about how you and Scott have been actin' these last few months and Ah'm gonna start pushin' for a reason."

"And it's usually at this point where you either blow us off or make an excuse to leave," finished Kitty with a sigh.

"Exactly!" said Rogue definitively, "So what do ya say we just skip the bullshit and cut straight to the point!"

"Rogue, how many times do I have to tell you...There's NOTHING to discuss!" said Jean, not liking the way she was putting her on the spot.

Rogue was about to shoot back, but Kitty stepped in this time, wanting to keep this as civil as possible.

"Jean, please...We're your friends, okay?" said Kitty with a look of sincerity in her face, "I don't like arguing about this with you any more than you like hearing about it. But I think that we deserve to know the truth now. You've been blowing us off for weeks and we're your friends. We worry about you."

"I know...I know," said Jean, forcing herself to calm down, "But does that not entitle me to a private life?"

"Of course not, Jean. But it doesn't give ya the right to keep bullshitting us!" shot Rogue, "Now say what ya will, but you and Scott have been playin' us! You've been havin' these ups and downs for months and all ya do is give us the same dang excuses! Well guess what? That only goes so far!"

"So what! That doesn't make it any less true!" shot Jean, her temper getting the best of her.

"Well you're right about that to some extent..." said Rogue, getting a bit more subtle as she worked her way up to the big question, "But that doesn't explain why Ah caught you and Scott walkin' out of the weight room last night at the dance. Mind explainin' that to meh?"

Jean's face immediately flushed crimson red. Half the air in her lungs suddenly leapt up to her throat. Had Rogue been spying on them? Had she caught them in the act? And if so, why didn't she sense her? Did the afterglow cloud her mind that much?

Such a reaction gave it all away for Kitty and Rogue. Her reaction alone was more than enough. Yet still, they kept pushing.

"Don't even try to lie your way out of this one," said Rogue, folding her arms in an affirmative manner, "Ah saw ya and Scott comin' out of that room with your clothes all wrinkled, your hair lookin' like somethin' that just came out of a dryer, and a grin the size of California. Add to that, ya seemed to be walkin' a little funny. So in all the infinite wisdom there is in this here universe, what exactly does it all point to?"

Jean wanted to say something, but she couldn't get the right words out. She wanted to remain silent, but that would only further prove Rogue's point. If she couldn't think of an excuse, then what could she do?

Kitty could see it in her demeanor. She had run out of excuses. But with each moment of silence, her case grew increasingly fragile.

"Look Jean..." said Kitty, still playing the side of good cop in this little interrogation, "I know you and Scott are really big on privacy, but something like this...I think it's going beyond the little things. I mean come on! You two fucked in the weight room! I use that weight room and so does half the school!"

"No!" shot Jean, vehemently, "We didn't fuck, okay? Scott and I were just..."

"Just what?!" exclaimed Rogue, "Talking?! Jean, talkin' doesn't make your clothes all wrinkled and it sure as hell don't make ya walk funny! Talkin' doesn't make ya act all sugary and sweet for the last few months! Now think of us what ya will, but you've made it abundantly clear that something's been goin' on between you and Scott. And from the looks of it, it involved a lot of a little three letter word that ends in x."

Jean was seriously getting annoyed with this. She had been trying to avoid this for months. She could take suspicious glances, dirty jokes, and even rumors to some extent. But being pushed into a corner and pried incessantly about her private life just went beyond her capabilities to manage.

She was sick of this. How hard was it to accept the fact that what she and Scott did on their own time was private? And this was coming from Rogue, no doubt...Someone who didn't like her just because she was 'little Miss Perfect.'

Looking back at the young Goth, Jean just couldn't hold it in any longer. The poise and control that she once so strongly wielded could only be pushed so far. And despite all her efforts in maintaining her position, Jean Grey finally snapped.

"Jean..." began Kitty, growing a bit concerned that her friend hadn't answered.

"You know what?! FINE! You win! You're right! Scott and I DO have sex! We have sex A LOT! And we've been having sex for months now! And I've been LOVING every Goddamned minute of it! HAPPY?!"

Kitty and Rogue were forced to take a step back as Jean's expression shifted to one that would have put Logan to shame. They hadn't anticipated the usually calm and collected Jean Grey to just go off like that, but then again she was just getting warmed up.

"Scott fucks me! He fucks me good!" she shouted as she backed the two girls up to her door, "He touches me in all the right ways! He goes down on me! He eats my pussy out! He fucks my ass! He rubs my tits! He just fucks me so good that I get wet just thinking about it!"

Such words were the last things anybody would have ever expected Jean Grey to say. But with the way Rogue and Kitty had pushed her, there was no more holding back.

"And it doesn't stop there," she said, now grinning with a half sinister look on her face, "I also do things for him too! I suck his dick! I ride him like a bull! I tie him up with rope and fuck his brains out! I let him whip me and restrain me while he tears me apart! We even do it in public places! We've fucked in storage rooms at school, the locker room, the lounge, and even the danger room!"

Now this news was starting to make Kitty and Rogue cringe because they actually used some of those rooms. And knowing now that Jean had fucked Scott in places like the locker room and the lounge was just disturbing.

"Scott and I have sex, okay?!" she went on, her face mere inches away from Rogue's, "We love having sex and we do it as often as we can! It WAS our private life, but now you know! So there! Is that what you wanted to hear?! Is that what you've been wanting me to say all this time?!"

The two girls were rendered speechless as they looked back into the raging redhead's eyes. They could have sworn that her eye was actually twitching with how frustrated she was. There were even a few objects in the room that shook as a result of her powers.

It took a moment or two for the two girls to say anything, but eventually they managed to form something...Even if it was antiquated at best.

"Uh...Yeah," said Rogue, unable to think of anything else, "That...Pretty much sums it up."

Jean forced herself to take deep breaths. Her mind was finally beginning to catch up with what she had just done. She had pretty much blown the lid off of her secret love life with Scott. There was no more hiding it now. She just couldn't take it anymore. She had to unload. And now that she had, feelings of dread finally began to take over.

"Look guys..." began Jean, still breathing hard.

"Like, you don't have to say another word Jean! We're going! We're going!" exclaimed Kitty as she frantically opened the door and ran out with Rogue following close behind.

The two girls cast Jean one last bewildered look before they disappeared, slamming the door shut. And the second they were out of sight, Jean fell into a daze. She had just unloaded on her friends the one secret that she and Scott had wanted to keep. And now that those two knew, chances were the entire mansion would know by the end of the day.

As the realization finally settled upon the young woman, Jean collapsed onto her bed. She couldn't believe she had said those kinds of things. She probably sounded like some sex crazed slut. She took one of her pillows and put it over her head, hoping that this was all just a dream.

But as it was, there was no going back now. Her secret was out. She and Scott were a couple of sex nuts. And if what she knew about her friends was any indication, she would never live this down.

"Oh God...What have I done? What in the hell have I done?"

**************************************************

While Jean worried about what was going to happen next, Scott Summers remained oblivious as he spent the entire morning helping Ororo. She had ordered several new bags of mulch as well as a few new wooden displays for her plants that needed assembling and Scott had volunteered to help.

Having been raised by Ororo as a kind of surrogate nephew, Scott had always enjoyed helping in the garden. During those harsh early times when he was blind, the garden provided an ambience of pleasant smells and sweet aura that helped him forget about how messed up he was.

In addition, it was a good time to have a decent chat with the former weather goddess about what had been going on with him and Jean. He even went into details about what had happened last night during the dance. And by the time he was done, Ororo found it difficult to hold back her smile.

"And I guess that's how it happened," said Scott as he finished his story while putting the final touches on the new wooden shelves.

"I see..." said Ororo as she casually leaned back against one of her displays, "It sounds like you and Jean really went all out in that weight room."

"Well to be fair, it was a wrestling ring. So we kind of got into the spirit," said Scott, who couldn't help but smile as he got up and wiped the sweat off of his brow, "But aside from the sex, it was nice to finally mend some of the things that had been brewing between us."

"Oh, so I take you two are serious now?" she asked, thinking it was about damn time.

"Well..." said Scott, hesitating slightly, "I still think it's a bit too early to say. I mean yeah, we're already at that point. This whole 'friends with benefits' deal has become more than either of us expected. But there are still a lot of feelings we have to straighten out before we can be...You know, complete."

Ororo just rolled her eyes. It sounded as though he was still stalling. Even though he and Jean had always been reserved when it came to their feelings, this was just too much. It was obvious that they were head over heels for one another, but they just going too slow. Sure, things like this shouldn't be rushed, but these two had been at it for years. How much longer could they hold out?

"Well I wish the both of you luck," said Ororo, still managing a smile, "Just remember that it's never too late to let someone know how you feel.."

"Yeah, I know. And trust me, we'll work it out," assured Scott, feeling anxious from just talking about it.

"And in the meantime, I suppose the sex should keep the both of you at ease," smiled Ororo, feeling the need to move onto a more playful subject.

Scott smiled at that. Even though he never would have thought Ororo to be such a sexpert, he was getting used to the idea. After all, it was her advice that prompted him and Jean to start their whole 'friends with benefits' deal in the first place.

"Yeah, I'm not too concerned about that," he said, smiling at the memories of him and Jean back in the weight room, "But boy I tell you, I never would have thought that something like this could change the way you see the world."

"Well sex has that affect on people," said Ororo with a slight laugh, "It's a very liberating and as long as you and your partner manage it well, it can bring the both of you so many benefits.

"I believe that. I'm more relaxed at school, I'm sleeping easier, and my danger room stats have even gone up. Who would have thought that a steady dose of sex was just what I needed?"

"Well you have grown a lot since the day I first saw you as the shy, insecure little boy that we first took in. Now you're a full fledged man. And from what Jean has told me, you're a damn good one at that."

"Um...Thanks Ororo," said Scott, blushing profusely, "And believe me, I really appreciate everything you've done for me and Jean since this whole thing started. All your advice has really helped. Plus, I don't think we ever would have been able to placate Logan without you."

"Yes, well I think its best we not dwell on that," said Ororo with a grin.

"Speaking of which, how are things between you two?" inquired Scott.

Ororo stopped and thought about that for a moment. Her relationship with Logan had been hot gossip throughout the mansion since word got out. She remembered how shocked Evan had been and how they were forced to have a nice long talk about it, but thankfully it had worked out in the end.

But aside from what other people thought, Ororo there was definitely more to what was going on between her and Logan than just raw primal sex. After going on that bike ride with him, she got some unique insight into his world. It really did put this man into perspective. He wasn't just some animal killer...No, he was so much more.

"To be honest, Scott, it's been quite a ride since he and I first...Hooked up," she said, skipping the whole sex in the observation deck bit.

"Really? How so?"

"Well aside from the man's potent sex drive, there is more to him than I ever could have imagined. I've known him for years, but it's only now that I'm getting some real insight."

"Insight?"

"Yes, insight," Ororo went on, letting out a sigh reminiscent of a teenage girl, "People look at him and either see a killer or a loner. But after spending this time with him, I've seen that there really is more to him. I know he doesn't show it, but you know Logan has to keep up with that whole Wolverine persona."

"Yeah, I figured," said Scott with a laugh, "But I guess you're the only one who can get through that barrier of his."

"For now, I guess," she shrugged, "There's no telling where things between us will go. We're getting really serious really fast. Like your relationship with Jean, it can't be rushed. It's all a matter of keeping things in perspective and allowing them to manifest as they come."

"Yeah, that I understand," said Scott as he gathered up his tools, "And I really wish the both of you the best. I've noticed how much happier the two of you have been. And knowing Logan, that says a lot."

"Why thank you," replied Ororo with a smile, "I could say the same for you and Jean. Just stay the course, be honest, and talk to her. I'm sure it'll all come together in the end. Oh, and don't forget to keep satisfying her sexually. That couldn't hurt either."

"Oh don't worry...I will," said Scott with a grin, "And as for you and Logan...I'd just have to say to look into getting soundproof walls. Because seriously, you two are pretty damn loud."

Ororo couldn't help but blush, but she showed no remorse. After all, if Logan made her scream in delight when he fucked her, then so be it. Why hold that back? But aside from that, maybe sound proof walls were a good idea.

"I'll...Consider that. Thanks for your help Scott. I really appreciate it."

"No problem, Ororo," said Scott, "It's been a while since I've helped out in the garden anyways. And besides, you always do know how to listen and give good advice."

"That's what I'm here for!" she proclaimed proudly, "Oh, and before you go, I have one last thing for you that I think you and Jean could use."

Ororo then proceeded to reach into the bag she had brought which usually contained seeds or bulbs, but this time it had something else, a book to be precise.

"I saw this at the mall while shopping for new garden supplies," she said as she gave the book to Scott, "I think you two might make good use of it."

"Sensual massaging for beginners and amateurs," read Scott, his eyes widening somewhat at the title, "Wow...Uh, thanks. I'll be sure to put this to good use."

"And I'm sure Jean will appreciate that," she grinned, "And when you're done, maybe I'll have a look at it as well. Perhaps there are some tips in there that would help make a Wolverine howl even louder."

"In that case, you should DEFINITELY get sound proofing," said Scott as he put the book in the toolbox.

They both let out another round of laugher, helping to further lighten the mood. It was almost lunchtime by now and Scott was ready for some leftovers. Then, just as he prepared to make his leave, he turned to see Logan standing in the doorway with two bags of mulch hitched over his shoulder.

"Heya darlin'! I'm back!" he proclaimed, always one to make his presence known, "Where do ya want these?"

"Just pile them up over there in the corner. I'll get to them later," she said, still laughing as she watched her lover show off his strength.

"You got it! But before you get to them..." he said as he made his way over to her with that animalistic grin on his face, "I'm gonna get to you first!"

Then, in a further show of his ever raging lust for all things primal, he took the former weather goddess in his arms and drew her into a deep kiss, quickly turning into a series of sensual touching that sent Ororo into a frenzy.

"Logan! Oh Logan!" she moaned as she felt his lips trail down her neck.

"That's my cue," said Scott, shutting the door tightly in his wake in order to give the two lovers some privacy.

He barely made it down the hall before he started hearing moans and grunts, but thankfully they faded once he descended to the second level. Thinking back to what Ororo had said, Scott couldn't help but smile. Seeing her so happy with Logan was comforting, for she deserved to have somebody and if she could tame the ever feral Wolverine, then more power to her.

In the meantime, he thought he might as well use the early afternoon hours to read his new book. Even after last night, it couldn't hurt to learn a few new techniques to further enhance his and Jean's sex life. And massaging made a lot of sense since he and Jean had a knack for being tense. Maybe they could look at it together later on if she was up to it. But first, he felt the need for a little lunch.

However, just as he set his toolbox in his room and began to make his way towards the stairs, he came across a few of the others.

"Oh uh...Hi Scott," said Jubilee shyly as she and Amara blushed profusely as they looked at him.

"Ladies..." he said casually.

Then, all of the sudden, he heard them giggling just as he passed them. Looking back, he grew a little uneasy. But before he could contemplate that any further, he came across Kurt and Evan. And unlike Jubilee and Amara, they were a bit more vocal about what was going on.

"Hey! There he is! The main man himself!" said Evan as he gave his friend a punch to the shoulder, "Dude, I have just GOT to shake your hand!"

"Ja, me too mein friend! You simply must give us zhe honor!" said Kurt, as he and Evan forced Scott's hand into theirs as they eagerly paid respect to their leader.

"Okay...What the hell is going on you guys?" demanded Scott, getting a little freaked out.

"Dude! You don't know?" laughed Kurt, "It's everywhere! All over zhe school! Kitty told me personally!"

"And Ray told me after he heard it from Roberto, who first heard it from Rogue!" added Evan, "You are officially the alpha male of this team now! I didn't believe it at first, but after hearing about that whole weight room bit, I have a whole new respect for you man."

The contents of Scott's stomach plummeted like a bomb. Did he just hear right? Did they know about what he and Jean did last night?

"Wow! Hold up! You guys know about that?!" he exclaimed.

"I told you, Scott, zhe whole school knows!" said Kurt with a wide grin, "And I have to say, sex in zhe veight room was enough, but to learn zhat you and Jean also vent so far as to christen half the rooms in this mansion...Dude, you are a GOD!"

Scott couldn't believe it. They knew...Everybody knew. His secret was out. He and Jean had been having sex. The weight room bit was hardly bearable enough, but to learn that they also knew about everything else they had done was just too much.

"But...How did..." began Scott.

"Jean unloaded on Kitty and Rogue," shrugged Evan, "They pushed her until she finally pushed back. But enough of the who, what, where, when and why...Dude, you just HAVE to give us some details!"

"Ja, come on dude! Vhat's she like?" said Kurt as he and Evan clamored for details.

Scott was beyond mortified. Not only did they know everything, but now they wanted details. That was the last straw for him. He just couldn't take this any longer.

"Scott..." began Evan.

"No! No fucking way!" exclaimed Scott as he promptly turned around and began to run back to his room.

"Hey vait! Vhat about our details?!" exclaimed Kurt.

"That shit is PRIVATE! I'm not telling and you're not getting any! Just leave me and Jean ALONE!"

And with that, Scott ducked into his room and slammed the door behind him. He quickly sank to the floor in a desperate stupor, not knowing how he was going to deal with something like this.

His whole private life and everything about it was now free game. They knew he and Jean had sex and there was no telling just how much they were going to pester him about it. Nothing was going to be the same again...Nothing. But as of now, only one thing was for certain...He had officially lost his appetite.
