You and Alex had been dating for a while, the whole relationship was built on trust and your mutual mutant power. Alex's power was explosive, where's yours was to control people which is why it took so long for your relationship to- well begin.
You didn't trust yourself around him, you kept reminding yourself that it might just be your powers and the second it wears off he's despise you because of it. It took months of Alex talking to you and asking you on dates until you finally asked Charles. You couldn't express the amount of joy you got when Charles explained his feelings were genuine.
"Hey." You look up from you note book and saw your boyfriend leaning on your door with a small smile pressed on his lips.
"Oh." You sat up from your stomach and pulled your hair away from your face. "Hi." You say sheepishly knowing your boyfriend was probably watching and waiting for you to see him.
Alex smile widened and he stepped into your room and crawled onto your bed, gently cupping your face and kissing your lips.
"How was your day?" He asked, you shrugged as he laid on his stomach. Making himself comfortable you notice his shirt slip up slightly showing off some of his back.
"Good." You mumble and lay down beside him. "How was yours?" You ask, he huffs and starts rambling about his day. You gently lift you hand to his back and start gently tracing patterns, a habit you grew into as a kid, a habit which Alex loved. Any excuse for you to touch him made him happy due to your lack of human contact as a kid you barely made any move to touch him when you first started dating, he was the one that had to start cuddling or kissing you at the beginning of the relationship.
Alex's voice seemed like a distance blur as you gently trace the words 'I love you' onto his back gently. The three words had never been uttered between you two, you wanted to admit it but you felt as if your perfect bubble would burst with the words spoken that revealed that you truely did love him.
'I love you'
Alex however leaned his head against the bed and sighed loving the feelings of your fingers gently tracing his skin, he didn't know you were having a mental battle with a simple phrase.
'I love you'
"You sleepy?" You ask breaking the silence when Alex suddenly stopped speaking to enjoy your light massage.
'I love you'
"Yeah." He mumbled and shut his eyes, you smile at your sleeping dork of a boyfriend as he slowly falls to sleep.
'I love you'
The silence between the two of you was comfortable as Alex slowly fell into a deep sleep. You sighed and kept tracing the three words against his skin, hoping that maybe you'll get enough courage to speak them to him instead of tracing them on his back.
'I love you'
You raise your other hand to his hair and gently run your hands through it, you always loved his silky hair, it felt amazing between your fingers, Alex sighed in pleasure and you could tell he was close to passing out. With all the training session Charles set up Alex was finding it hard to keep up with the new recruits.
'I love you'
"Y/N?" Alex mumbles, his voice raspy and tired. You hum in response and Alex gently smiles.
