X-Men Preferences and Imagines

Habits of yours that they love

Logan Howlett:
Logan loves the way you handle everything with an unwavering calmness, no matter how chaotic or intense things get. He admires how you never flinch in the face of danger or conflict, how your steady demeanor soothes him in ways nothing else ever could. He notices how you tend to his wounds without a single word, your fingers tracing the scars on his body like a map you know all too well, and somehow it makes him feel grounded, human. He loves how you never push him to talk about his past, respecting his need for silence, but you're always there, a constant presence that gives him a rare sense of peace. It's your quiet acts of care—the way you brew him tea in the mornings even though you know he prefers whiskey, the way you lean into him just enough without crowding his space—that make him feel like he's not as broken as he thought. The moments where you let him simply be, without expectation or judgment, make him feel seen in a way he never expected. In a life full of violence and loneliness, your gentle patience is a light he's not sure he deserves but can't seem to let go of.

Scott Summers:
Scott loves how meticulously organized you are, how you keep both your lives running like a well-oiled machine, and he finds himself relying on your sense of structure more than he'd ever admit. Your habit of planning ahead—whether it's for the team or just a quiet night in—makes him feel secure, like everything will be okay as long as you're around. He's always admired your ability to stay calm under pressure, but what truly fascinates him is the way you seem to know exactly what everyone needs before they do. Whether it's handing him his visor right as he's starting to panic or making sure the team is fed and rested after a mission, you've got this innate understanding of people that makes him feel deeply cared for. The way you remember the small details, like how he likes his coffee or how you always give him a moment to himself after a particularly hard day, makes him realize how much he depends on your presence. Scott loves how you challenge him to be a better leader but also allow him the space to let his guard down when no one else is watching. It's in those quiet, stolen moments—when your hand grazes his as you pass by or when you straighten his uniform without a word—that he feels the full weight of what you mean to him, the stability and calm you bring to his chaotic world.

Young Charles Xavier:
Charles loves your deep curiosity and thirst for knowledge, how you seem to share his passion for understanding the world and the people around you. He admires how you lose yourself in books, often reading for hours on end, and the way your eyes light up when you discover something new. What he finds most endearing, though, is your ability to make him laugh when he's deep in thought, pulling him out of his intellectual musings with a well-placed joke or a playful comment. He loves how you always seem to know when he needs to be reminded of the lighter side of life, drawing him away from his serious nature without ever diminishing the weight of what he's carrying. You have a way of grounding him, of reminding him that not everything has to be solved or analyzed. It's the way you instinctively reach for his hand when he's spiraling into his thoughts or how you listen with rapt attention when he talks about his latest philosophical quandary that makes him feel understood. In your presence, Charles feels a balance between intellect and emotion, the kind of equilibrium he's always sought but never quite found until you. Your quiet habit of letting him lean on you, both figuratively and literally, in moments of exhaustion or doubt, gives him a sense of peace he rarely allows himself to feel.

Young Erik Lehnsherr:
Erik loves how fiercely independent you are, how you don't back down or let anyone tell you what to do, and it's this strength that both excites and calms him. He sees in you the same fire that burns within him, but where his manifests in anger and vengeance, yours is tempered with kindness and patience. He loves how you don't cower in the face of his temper, how you stand your ground and challenge him without ever letting it turn into a fight. It's the way you never flinch when he loses control, but instead give him the space he needs to cool down, silently offering your support through your unwavering presence. He admires how you can be so strong and yet so gentle, how your touch softens the edges of his rage without ever feeling like pity. Erik loves the way you instinctively know when to step in and when to let him handle things on his own, giving him the freedom to be the man he's always wanted to be, while also reminding him that he doesn't have to do it all alone. Your quiet resilience, the way you keep pushing forward no matter how hard things get, is something he finds himself leaning on more and more, even when he doesn't want to admit it. You're his equal, his partner in every sense of the word, and that's what he loves most about you.

Young Hank McCoy:
Hank loves how you're never intimidated by his intellect, how you engage with him in conversations that challenge and inspire him, even if you're not always on the same page. He adores the way you take an interest in his work, asking questions and offering insights that make him rethink things he thought he had all figured out. It's your curiosity and willingness to learn that he finds utterly captivating, and the fact that you're always there, not just as a spectator but as an active participant in his world, makes him feel less alone in it. What Hank loves most, though, is how you see him for who he truly is—not just the genius or the mutation, but the man underneath it all. Your habit of gently touching his hand or brushing your fingers through his hair when he's deep in thought brings him back to the present, grounding him in a way that nothing else can. You make him feel normal, human, even when he's wrestling with the beast inside. Your quiet understanding, the way you never push him to be something he's not, but instead embrace every part of him, is what makes him feel safe in a world that often feels so hostile.

Peter Maximoff:
Peter loves how you're always moving just as fast as he is, not in a literal sense, but in the way your mind works, keeping up with his rapid-fire thoughts and ideas. He's always been too much for people, but with you, he never feels like he's overwhelming or too chaotic. You've got this effortless way of matching his energy, of finding excitement in the smallest things and keeping life interesting no matter how mundane the moment might seem. He loves how spontaneous you are, how you can drop everything for an adventure or throw yourself into something new without hesitation. It's in the way you can keep up with his jokes, teasing him just enough to make him laugh, but also knowing when to dial it back and just let him be, that makes him feel like he's found someone who gets him. He admires how you don't take life too seriously, how you're always willing to roll with whatever comes your way, which balances out his tendency to act before thinking. The way you always seem to be ready for whatever crazy idea he comes up with—whether it's running off to the arcade in the middle of the night or sneaking into a movie—makes him feel like he's finally found his perfect match in the whirlwind of his life.
