For a week, you barely speak to each other, and a tension lingers between you both. You don't acknowledge how you found him, and he barely acknowledges you. You don't mind. One afternoon, you're sitting in the kitchen scrolling on your phone when Scott walks in, sitting across from you.

"What's going on between you and Logan?" He asks. Straight to the point, no hesitation.

"I don't know what you mean." You don't look up.

"Come on, you can tell me. A lovers quarrel?" He asks.

You sigh. "We are not together," you inform him, gritting your teeth. "I don't even like that asshole" you add.

"Interesting, because he seems to like you," Scott says, wiggling his eyebrows. You roll your eyes, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl in the center of the table.

"He's not gay, it doesn't matter anyway." You remind him, taking a bite.

The other man sighs, adjusting his glasses.

"You really are oblivious, huh?" He chuckles.

That's when the exact man of the hour strolls in.

"Hello Scott" he mumbles, grabbing leftovers from the fridge.

Scott grins mischievously, standing and quickly walking out of the room, winking at you. You roll your eyes, disregarding his antics.

You watch Logan silently as he puts his food in the microwave, clearly trying to pretend you aren't there.

"We need to talk," you say simply.

"I know." He answers, watching his food spin in the microwave. When it's done, he takes it out, grabbing a fork and sitting beside you. You both sit facing in front of you, afraid to look at each other.

"I'm sorry you had to see me like that." He mumbles to his food, pushing it around the container.

"Don't apologize, doll, even Wolverine cries." You say, smiling, but still not looking at him. If you had been looking at him, you would have seen his cheeks flush at the pet name.

"I'm not gay." He repeats. Your shoulders slump, and your breath catches in your throat.

"I know." You answer. That's when you feel it, his hand resting on your thigh delicately, almost like he was afraid to scare you away.

"I'm not done." He says, and for the first time that night, you sneak a glance at him. He is sitting rigid, jaw tight and his expression blank.

"But I've been thinking about you, all the time..." he admits, and you look away again. Your heart aches, you know how hard it is for him to open up about his feelings.

"I-"

You don't get to finish your sentence, because Scott comes running into the room.

"Times up love birds, he's back." Cyclops pants, standing in the doorway.

"Who's back?" You say, swallowing.

"Deadpool."
