The Long Road (Scott Summers X Male Reader)

Ch 54. Warm Hearts

It's the third day. The group just left the province, Ontario and now in Manitoba. Snow is covering the land expect the highway they're riding on. Inside of the car, Y/N is gaming with the gift he received from Scott. It's again pretty silent, with no one speaking a word, just like before. The only thing that can be heard is the car and the radio.

Y/N decides to speak up. "How long do you think until we arrive at our destination?"

"I say a day. We're heading to Nunavut, AKA the north. We find an isolated place and stay a while." Logan answers.

Y/N hums. "Are we staying at a cabin or something?"

"Probably a cabin. We have all the money in the world, so we have no trouble about finding a place."

And with that, nobody talks. Y/N looks back at the person next to him, seeing Scott looking out of the window. Logan, meanwhile, continues to drive, concentrating on the road. Y/N let out a sigh and continue distracting himself.

Three hours later, and they arrived at a gas station. Like previously, Y/N and Scott take a break and by going to the bathroom, while Logan is tanking. After some minutes, Y/N arrived back by the parking lot, slightly shaking though the cold. Logan is leaning against the car, smoking a cigar. The man notices Y/N's distraught face.

"What's wrong, kiddo?"

Y/N thinks about how he phrases this. "I... dislike how awkward things are ever since Scott arrived." Logan looks back at him, merely letting him talk out while smoking. "I know you hold a grudge against him, but can't we at least try to make the best of the situation."

"You know I ain't much for talkin'."

"I know, but you always made an exception for me." Y/N points out.

Logan hums quietly. He drops the cigar on the ground and step on it. "Y/N, I'm not going to lie. I will prefer to leave Scott behind if I have the chance. The only reason he's staying because you want to."

Y/N frowns. "You know what, never mind." Knowing what Logan is going to say, Y/N turns around and walks to the edge of the parking lot that leans next to a forest.

Logan straightening up. "Where're you going?"

Y/N stops and looks back. "I need some time alone. Just... leave me be." He turns around and continue walking.

Logan let out an annoyed huff but let Y/N be. He merely grabs another cigar from the car and lighting it up.

In the sight of Logan, and a great distance, Y/N is standing at the edge of the parking lot. Expecting to be alone, he was surprised when Scott walks to him to join him.

"Is everything alright?"

"He's being an asshole..." Y/N groans, giving a stick eye at Logan, letting Scott know who he's talking about.

Scott let out a quiet hum. "Just ignore him."

"Ignore him?" Y/N sounds offended. "He's constantly treating you like trash! You know this and I tried to make things better, but you just want me to ignore it?"

Scott is a little aback by Y/N's sudden outburst. "That's not what I meant."

"I don't care what you meant! All you do is accepting how he's treating you!" Y/N argues. "It's two days of this shit, and I'm in the middle of an asshole that rather holds grudges than doing me a favor and a coward that doesn't even has a spine to speak up!"
