22. Hank McCoy - spring cleaning (part 1)

+++++++++
Your mutation: imagine wolverine but you don't have claws or a metal skeleton. Instead of those you have super strength. The strength was a natural mutation but the healing factor and almost immortality was a result of pre civil war experimentation. After the war you were sent to Russia to train with the first black widow sector and the Winter soldier project where you were trained to rarely ever sleep and withstand days of no food or water fighting for your life protecting whoever you were assigned to.
It had its ups and downs in your new life but mostly you just found yourself wandering around X mansion or reading, or helping Hank in the lab since he rarely ever slept if he was working on a new project.

It had been a quiet night at the mansion but everyone wanted to get a goodnight sleep cause they would need to be up early for spring cleaning. Charles had issued a much needed spring break in order to get some rest in after their latest missions and to get everyone back in order again. obviously you just sat up all night staring out your window making a plan of what you would be cleaning when the morning finally arrived. After about 3am you decided you were going to go downstairs and see if Hank was up and needed any help with anything. You grabbed your leather jacket swinging it over you shoulder and made your way into the hall. You decided to walk down to his room to see if he was there first, upon finding an empty room you made your way downstairs to his lab.

When you opened the door to Hanks lab you heard a loud clattering noise followed by a grunt and "shit." You walked further to the noise only to be met with an angry blue Hank. He was pacing around putting various chemicals together making explosions and causing different beakers to change colors. You then coughed a little which caused him to look up at you. He wasnt very fazed at first but then he realized it was really you standing at the other end of his lab. It caused him to stand, knocking over the chair he was perched on. He then backed up looking at it scratching the back of his furry head.

"Is everything okay Hank?"

"Uh.."

He patted his lab coat and pulled out one of his syringes and looked at it before stabbing it into his leg and slowly transforming back into his human looking self.

"Yeah, better now."

"Hank are you sure? You seem kinda out of it."

"Yeah I'm completely fine. What's up?"

"I just wanted to know if you needed help with anything, ya know.... maybe some heavy lifting."

I winked at him and he turned into his normal awkward self, blushing and avoiding eye contact.

"Uh no I-i don't think so. I'm pretty good, wrapped up down here. So uh....Yeah."

"Okay well do you mind if I just sit down here with you for a little while? I don't wanna take a chance at waking anyone up if I go back upstairs, it's not even 4 yet?"

"Yeah go right ahead. Um could I take you up on that heavy lifting offer? There's some work I need to do on the X-jet."

"Sure no problem. Lead the way."

I motioned to the door and followed him to the hanger. The entire time we worked he kept shifting his eyes. It was like he didn't want to look at me but he had too. He had to see me to know what i was doing and to show me how to help him. At one point I even lifted him up to reach a part of the jet. Once I put him down he was more than flustered and couldn't speak without stuttering or mumbling. As much as I hated to say it, he was cute. He was beyond smart, and the glasses eccentuating his bright blue eyes drove me crazy. I had tried flirting with him before but it always ended the same and he acted now just as he acted then. I wasn't even trying right now but I still managed to fluster him. Once we were done working on the jet and decided to take a break it was about 8 am. All of the students should have been getting up about now to eat and work on their spring cleaning duty's.

I was sat on one of the metal tables that had various tools on it watching Hank tinker with different parts. It was nice to watch him, not in a creepy way, but in a 'im curious about you, date me' kind of way. Everything he did seemed so complicated but he made it work. His brain was extraordinary, he was extraordinary. Im not gonna lie, if he asked I would probably let him do whatever he wanted with me, but- my thoughts were shaken at a sudden and loud fire alarm going off. One of the parts Hank had set down combusted and the smoke was rising. It wasn't a large flame but as soon as Hank got it out the sprinklers went off. He ran over to me, soaking wet, to set the part that had caught fire on the table I was sat at. It was a strange happening that the two of us thought funny. The sprinklers didn't seem to be shutting off anytime soon so we just sat there and laughed about the odd event that had just happened. He had a cute laugh, and the water droplets dripping from his hair made my knees weak. I guess it was a good thing I was sitting on the table.

Hank then got super close to me, stood right next to my leg. I wasn't sure what to do at first but then everything seemed right. He looked at me, in the eyes, for the first time all morning. I took his speckled glasses off of his face causing him to squint a bit at me. I set them to the side and grabbed his face gently so he wouldn't tilt his head. I leaned in and planted a long soft kiss on his bright pink lips. He seemed a little hesitant at first as if he couldn't believe it was actually happening. He then moved himself in-between my legs and grabbed the back of my neck with one hand and the other landing on my waist deepening the soft kiss. When we broke apart for air he rested his forehead against mine and smiled the biggest smile.

"Wow"

"Wow is right, you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that Hank."

He just looked down, a blush creeping to his wet face. I tilted his chin up to look at me and kissed him again. I never wanted it to end but it sadly did when Erik ran into the hanger to make sure we were okay. When we pulled apart Hank hid his face in my neck and wet hair, laughing a bit, hugging my waist lightly. I placed one hand on his back and the other in his hair, sending a slight glare Erik's way.

"So I take it you two are fine then."

"Yes Erik, everything is peachy. We caused the fire but it's out now so we're good."

"I see, I'll let you get back to your work then."

After he left I looked at Hank in the eyes again and we both just laughed. This would be something we remembered​ for a while.
