The Long Road (Scott Summers X Male Reader)

Ch 8. A Tired Next Day

11 years ago...

Logan walks in the kitchen, grabbing a beer from the fridge. He pull out his claws and remove the crown from the beer, afterwards he takes a sip from it while leaning against the kitchen island. He start thinking what Charles said. "You're more than welcome to live with us." Those were the words Charles said after Logan lost his memories and after Logan doesn't know where his true home is. He let out a annoyed and tired groan. "God fucking damnit."

"What does fuck mean?" Logan quickly turns his head around towards his left, where he sees an innocent, six-year-old boy. He forgot that Charles mentioned he has a adopted son.

"It's a bad word. Don't say it." Logan shrugs it off. He walks towards the table and sit at it. Y/N follows him and sits next to Logan, which lightly annoys the grown up.

"Who are you?" Y/N asks.

"Logan." He answers, not looking at the child.

"Are you one of my dad's friends?"

"No."

"Are you a mutant?"

Logan look annoyed at Y/N. "Can you stop talking? You're annoying me." Though this is how Logan normally talks, he forget talking to a adult and a child is a completely different thing, but realizes it when Y/N eyes begin to water. Logan slightly panics. Although he isn't sure if he wants to stay with Charles, he sure didn't want to go because he let a child cry. "Okay, I'm sorry. It's alright. C'mon, stop crying." Logan tries to comfort the child, but Y/N only continue crying. "I'm sorry kid. I was in the wrong and I'm sorry. You can talk how much you want."

Y/N blinks a few times at Logan. A few tears are fallen from his cheeks. "Really?"

"Yeah, ask me anything." Although this will probably annoy Logan, he knows this is the right thing.

Y/N let out a quiet hum. "Are you staying here?"

"I dunno." Logan answers. He takes another sip from his beer.

"If you are staying, can I call you Uncle Logan?" Y/N asks.

Logan let out a sigh. He just wanted to say no, not wanting to talk to the child anymore. But he can't make the child cry again. "Fine."

The X-Men arrive home. During the whole ride back home, Y/N stayed quiet. Even now, he stays quiet when he arrives at his father's office alongside his teammate. "I'm glad you're back Y/N." Charles says with a smile, though it fades away when Y/N continues giving a blank face. "Do you want to talk Y/N?"

"Can I go to bed?" Y/N responds.

Charles understands how Y/N is feeling. "Yes."

Y/N let out a hum before walking out of the room. He quickly arrives at his room and drops down in the bed and sleeps.

Y/N eyes went wide open when he hears his phone ringing. The telepath notices from his alarm clock it is about 8AM. If this wasn't a school day, he wouldn't make it to school. Y/N sits up and realize he's still in his jumpsuit, though he isn't bothered by it and just grabs the phone. Before answering, he sees that the caller is someone unknown. "Hello." Y/N couldn't stop the yawn before speaking.

"Hey Y/N, it's Bobby." Y/N slightly feels awake when he hear his friend. "I'm sorry if I made you awake. I can call later."

"No, it's fine." Y/N responds. "Is everything alright?"
