Stay Out Of My Way (Scogan)

There Is No Trust

Logan (POV)

I spent most of my morning with Scott, we set off in different directions when Charles called for him. I let the man know that I had nothing to say other than giving Bucky some time to settle down and clear his head before he speaks about what happened to him and where he had come from.

Although Charles wanted nothing more but to seek the man out, he respected his privacy and wishes. So Scott, Jean and Storm were caged up in his office, going over every incident that had happened within the last 24 hours.

I was in charge of keeping Bucky inside, keeping him safe from whoever it was out there that was trying to end him, to find anything new that he could possibly remember. I was pretty much this mans babysitter in a way of not actually watching him like a child.

I don't think that would be much of a problem judging by the looks Beast had been giving him as I stood in the frame of the library.

I had never squinted so hard, the way his eyes lingered a little too long on the other man. How he set a new book every other minute as he cleaned around the area, how he made small comments about this character or that book cover. Not once have I ever seen Beast act this was towards anybody, at least in my eyes.

This blue fur ball seemed to have been giving heart eyes to a man he barely knew. But that wasn't just it, Bucky on the other hand gave these shy smiles and pink cheeked replies while hiding his face in those dusty ass books.

Maybe I didn't have anything to worry about, I wouldn't be the only one keeping this man out of trouble or out of reach of the mutant hunter.

''Hello, Logan. Is there a problem?''

Beast appeared out of nowhere, book in one hand and a pen in the other. Glasses barely hanging on for dear life as his lab coat had been left someplace else. For once, the man...beast...looked somewhat normal.

Cocking my hip out with my arms still crossed like a scolding mother.

''Actually just curious about something, what's going on in here? It's rare to see you out of your lab unless you're with Charles or in a classroom teaching students fucking science and health. So what's the dealio here?''

If his shitty blue fur didn't block out the dark pink that took over his cheek and chops then I'd make fun of him. But why bother, even he deserves to be happy.

''Nothing of your concern, Logan. Was there something you needed? Does Charles need me in his office?''

''Nah, was just checking up on my new friend here. Making sure he was getting plenty of rest but I see he found the books. Long as he's not out causing trouble or getting into things he's not supposed to in here. You good watching him for a bit? I have to go out for a little while to pick up a few groceries for tonight.''

Beast turned to look over his shoulder, staring for more than twenty seconds at the other man.

''I get it, he's pretty and whatever. But you need to focus here man, can you or can you not watch him while I'm out?''

Breaking from his daydream, the drooling furball faced back around.

''He's been nothing but kind and quiet, I'm sure I can handle somebody who isn't you. And yes, he's very pretty.''

He walked off, leaving me wide eyed.

''Looks like our doctor finally found something worth leaving his lab for, don't you think?'' Scott's voice always pulled me from shocking or should I say 'surprising' moments.
