Y/N had met Charles when they were in college. They were very aware that Charles was a mutant like themself. While Charles was studying mutation, Y/N was studying for a teaching degree. They were skilled across the board of subjects but were best at language arts. It was a bit of a surprise to Y/N finding out that Charles was running a school for mutants but, they were proud of him.

A few years after an explosion happened at the school Charles had asked Y/N if they would like a position at his school as a tutor for the struggling students. Charles had informed them of the training going on at the school before they accepted the position. While Y/N did not condemn the use of the students as weapons they had informed Charles that they would need to be treated as students first or they would 'Beat his ass'.

Y/N was used to staying hidden throughout the day and their powers were an added advantage to that. Being invisible at will allowed Y/N to cause less distractions in the school. They would observe the student's behavior and take notes about how students acted. They had been tutoring a few young students lately.

Kurt, Ororo, and Peter were struggling with English class and the professor had suggested a tutor to the group. Y/N agreed to meet with the students on Thursdays out in the garden. The rest of the friend group would join the tutoring and sit quietly.

"Jubilee what were you struggling with?" Y/N peered at Jubilee's paper as the girl messed with the grass. Charles was in charge of the English class and had assigned a lesson about the book Fahrenheit 451.

"I'm confused on what the point of the book is, why is he burning books?" Jubilee tossed the book to the side as she asked the question. Y/N picked up the book and put it in their bag. They grabbed the work each of the students had and put them all away.

"Why don't we all take a break? Let's go for a walk while I explain the book." Y/N glanced hopefully at the students as they began to walk off. The group of kids followed them as they explained the books meaning. They walk led them all to the pond behind the mansion. Y/N noticed someone walking along the pond.

"Well, our time is up for today, but I hope that you all understand the book." The group of mutants walked off from the pond as Y/N walked towards the new face. They quickly turned invisible as they walked closer to the person. He had short hair and a slight stubble; he was moving a metal ball around his hands without touching it.

"Erik? What are you doing here?" Erik and Y/N both turned their heads to see Charles wheeling towards them. As Charles came closer to them Erik became stiff. He quickly looked around before looking at Charles again. "Is something wrong Erik?"

"Nothing, I thought I heard someone. It must have been the wind." Y/N slowly backed away from the pair as they began to talk. "Charles, I was wondering if you would be willing to let me stay here for a while."

"Of course, Erik. Though some others here may not be as open to you staying. Isn't that right Y/N?" Charles turned his head to look in their direction as they tried to step backwards and walk off. As they stepped, they felt themself falling backwards until a piercing cold covered them. In the fall to the pond, they dropped their invisibility and tried to get out of the water.

"Where did they come from?" Erik stared at them with a bewildering look as they tried to stand up and wring out their clothes. Y/N flipped off Charles as they climbed out of the pond.

"Thank you, Charles, for that. Hi, I'm Y/N now I have to go change goodbye." They turn invisible once more and storm off to the mansion to change their clothes.

"Invisibility?" Charles nodded his head at his friend as he watched a trail of footprints walk through the yard.

----------------------------------------------

Today the students are going to a museum for a field trip organized by Hank. Charles offered to have Y/N go along with the students, but they chose to stay behind and get caught up on reading. They read halfway through their book before their stomach began to rumble. Y/N checked the time only to realize they had missed her lunch.

While searching for a snack to control their hunger Y/N noticed a cupcake recipe on the fridge. Craving a sweet treat, they got out the ingredients and got to work. Y/N assumed that cupcakes would be a nice welcome home to the students that would be arriving in a few hours.

Three hours and a bag of flour later Y/N was on their last bath of cupcakes. There was frosting across the counters and mysterious powders on the floor. Their outfit was covered in batter and frosting making them look like a walking dessert. Y/N was frosting the cooled cupcakes, hoping they would be done before the students arrived.

They were Lazer focused on frosting the cupcake in their hand and neglected the sound of feet behind them. Y/N was about to squeeze frosting onto the cupcake in hand when they heard a voice come from just over their shoulder. "What are you doing?"

Shocked at the sound they turned to face the person, piping bag in hand. What they also didn't expect was the frosting to shoot out and land on the persons face. They looked at the piping bag before slowly raising their head up to meet the persons face.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry, you scared me I didn't realize that the bag was going to spray on you." They looked at Erik with a terrified expression plastered on their face. Erik slowly raised his hand up to wipe the frosting off his face. He looked at the frosting before looking back at them.

"It's fine. I will just have too..." Erik trailed off as he reached behind them, leaning closer to them as he did. He pulled back with a smirk and before they could react, he grabbed onto their chin and pulled their face closer to him, smeared frosting down their face. They gasped and pulled away from his grasp on their face. They began frantically trying to wipe the frosting off their face only spreading it farther.

They opened their eyes glaring right into Eriks, he smiled innocently at Y/N and grabbed a towel near them. He pulled their face up so he could wipe the frosting off with the towel. They gazed in his eyes as he did so. "I am truly sorry, but it was just too tempting to pass up. " He smiled and looked down at them. He slowly leaned closer to them as he whispered to them "You have something on your mouth, let me get that."

He placed a hand on the back of their head and brought their lips up to his. Y/N was lost in the moment until they heard a gasp from beside them. The two broke apart and looked towards the noise to see Y/N's students staring mouths agape. Peter walking into the room with a cupcake in his mouth not noticing the scene at first. "What is up with you all?" Peter turns to where the others are looking before his cupcake drops to the floor.
