The Long Road (Scott Summers X Male Reader)

Ch 44. Cold Days

A couple of days has been passed since Scott revealed the truth. Despite the horrible news, it's ironic that today is Christmas. Like the previous days, a thick layer of snow has covered the land.

It's around 9AM. Most people are currently asleep, but some are awake. Logan is one of those people. After a lot of thinking, and smoking cigars, he reclaims his composure. He realizes now that he needs to be with Y/N's side, no matter what. He can't fix Y/N's problem, but he can cheer him up. Thus, he walks over to Y/N's room and walks inside, seeing Y/N vast asleep.

"Hey kid." Logan crouches down to Y/N's level. "Wake up."

Y/N slowly opens his eyes. "Hm?" He quietly hums. His eyes are puffy. Looks like Y/N is still crying about what Charles told him.

"Merry Christmas, kid." Logan smirks.

"Merry Christmas..." Y/N murmurs. He let out a yawn.

"Wake up."

"Why?"

"Because we're going to make a snowman."

When the two are in the snow, Logan can tell Y/N feel better, but only a little. The young man put the final snowball on the bigger snowballs, creating a snowman. Logan put out one of his claws and draw a face on its head.

"How beautiful." Logan smirks, looking back at Y/N, who's having a sad small smile. There is a rough smile now on the snowman. Logan removes his scarf and put it on the snowman. Next up, he grabs two sticks and also put it in, creating two arms. "Now it's even better."

Logan remembers how he and Y/N used to make snowmen every year around Christmas ever since Y/N was a kid. Despite acting like he doesn't care, Logan loves the time he's spending with Y/N.

"Nice snowman." Logan and Y/N look back to see Bobby standing behind them, seeing him also wearing his winter clothes. "Also, merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas." Logan and Y/N replies, the latter one less enthuses then he usual is.

Bobby looks back at Y/N, noticing how his behavior. "Want to hang out? I can do some fun things with my mutation."

"Alright." Y/N replies.

Bobby and Y/N both walk away towards the swimming pool. Logan leaves the two alone, thinking it would be nice for Y/N if he gets some time with his friends, so Logan walks back to the porch and have some time for himself, thinking about the events.

Back at the pool, Bobby put his hand against the frozen water. "Should be sturdy enough." He stands up and looks back at Y/N. "You ever gone ice skating?"

"No." Y/N replies.

"I teach you then." Bobby says with a smile. He nods to the bench to sit down. The two did and Bobby lift up his legs one of the times and creates blades out of ice underneath of his shoes.

"Now for yours..." Y/N lift up his legs and Bobby create blades for him as well. When Bobby is done, Y/N put his legs on the ground and try to stand up, feeling odd now to walk on ice skating blades. Bobby stands up next to him and help Y/N balance. "You are doing alright?"

"I think I'm going to fall." Y/N replies.

"That's alright. It's your first time, and I'm here to help." Bobby helps Y/N to the frozen pool and both guys step on the ice, first Bobby and after hesitation Y/N.
