Scott’s blushing, his skin is bright red and he’s filled with embarrassment. Walking a line between anger and sadness, he doesn’t know how to answer her question. After Halloween, he couldn’t stand seeing Jean with anyone else. It was too much for him to even see her standing in the same room as Alex now, but it wasn’t fair to her to be mad about their friendship. After all, she knew him longer and Alex was a hero in more groups than just the X-Men.

When they arrived in his office, those were the first words out of her mouth and he definitely deserved her scorn. Charles only saw her when they were in the cafeteria, and the fact that he didn't realize people were staring until she got upset made him feel worse. There was no excuse, he's supposed to have the capacity and ability to know or at least hear all. They were definitely staring at the two as Charles tried to reach out.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call attention to us. I just..." miss you. Before today, they hadn't seen each other in a couple of days. It felt more like weeks to him, everything seemed to be moving slowly ever since the second attempt on taking Jean from him. “What do you want me to say?” he’s at a loss, unsure of himself because he cannot read her mind.

❛ How do you cope when the one you love is with somebody else? ❜

Her question came out of nowhere, and his usual demeanor faded into the background as his mind burned through old memories of Anna with him, married to him, instead of with Remy or Logan. Looking over to her finally, he shrugged with a serious expression on his face. Did she have ulterior motives for this question? It was painfully obvious she and the dude with the sunglasses on at night belonged together.
