May it be.

Scott woke up with a pounding headache and a dry mouth. Heagedaged to stumble into the bathroom and gulp a glass of tepid water. He laid back down wondering why he felt so damn sore. The last nights events came roaring back to haunt him. Groaning he rolled over and buried his face into the pillow. How could he have done such a thing? His love for Logan was supposed to remain a secret! Well after last night he really couldn't hide anymore. He may as well have put a sign that said he loved the mutant. A soft knock at the door made him moan as he told the person to enter. He shifted so he could see the door open. Rogue stepped inside and closed the door. She carried a glass of water annd something else in her hand. She smiled and dumped the four tylenol into his hand. Scott sat up as took the medicine toouched by her thoughtfulness.

"Logan told me you might need these." her soft, sweet accented voice made him smile.

"Logan? Why?" Scott frowned at the thought of Logan.

"He told me you indulged a little to much last night. And the others wanted to know if you were ok. Jean has been beside herself." Rogue sat down on the bed.

"I'm fine. Really. We'd been heading this way for months it was just a suprise. Thats all." he said reassuring her.

"I'll let the others know. Oh Logan said he'd see you when he got back." Rogue stood to leave when Scott grabbed her gloved hand.

"Back? Where did he go?"

"Him, Havok, and Gambit had to go confront a rampaging Sabertooth." Rogue said smiling at his conceerned look.

"Why wasn't I told? I am the leader after all." he wasn't angry just slightly hurt.

"Well the Professor knew you had a rough night and he is still worried." Rogue looked at the clock. "Sorry Scott I gotta go to class now. I'm glad your ok."

"Ok. Good bye. Thank you." Scott smiled at her before she left.

By the time she was gone the tylenol had kicked in and the headache was almost gone. He stood and went to shower and become human again.

Later that night Scott was practicing his tracking skills in the Danger Room. He soon became bored and in need of venting his frustrations. Havokmbitmbit, and Logan still were not back and he was getting worried. He was the leader! He should be out there right now helping them. But no he had gone and did something stupid. He had gotten rip roaring drunk without thought of what would happen if an emergeny arose. He set the Danger Room scenario for multiple advasaries and obstacles. Hours passed as he decimated annyone and anything in sight. He was so caught up in the scenario that he didn't notice the door open and he didn't see a dark shape enter. Before he knew what happened the scenario vanished and he was pinned up against a wall. Scott struggled briefly before he realized who held him.

"Logan! You scared the shit out of me!" Scott screamed outraged and releived at tha same time.

"It ain't my fault you didn't hear the door open Scotty boy." Logan grinned at the outraged look on Scott's face.

The sound of someone clearing their throat caught their attention. Scott looked over Logan's shoulder and wanted to die. Havok and Gambit stood behinde them grinning like idiots. Logan smirked at them and turned his attention back to Scott.

"Professor wants to see ya." with that Logan released Scott and walked out of the room.

Alex and Remy looked at Scott still smiling, Scott cursed and stormed out of the room.

Alex turned to Remy "Do you think we interrupted something?"

"I'd say do mon ami. Gambit think those two hiding something."

Alex silently agreeed with the cajun's assement.
