"So... She just be overjoyed about today," Michael commented and smiled, while watching you walk towards Nicholas who was by the coffee machine.

"Yeah I guess," James replied flatly and Michael looked at him with confusion, "What?"

"You don't have a clue about her?"

"Why would you think I that I'd have a clue about her?"

"Because you both are together? Oh my lord James..." Michael rolled his eyes and James laughed.

"So? She's kind of... secretive and mysterious," He squinted his eyes then shrugged his shoulders, "It's pretty sexy if you ask me. Anyways, why would she be excited about today?"

Michael stood up from his seat and took a deep breath, "Because the [y/n] I know would love to visit the ship." He raised his eyebrows and James looked at him with realisation.

He waved him goodbye then walked towards the makeup and costume trailer to get ready for the scene. James sucked in a sharp breath and rubbed his forehead. He smiled when he saw you strut towards him.

"Here you go," You smiled at him and gave him his cup of coffee. He took a sip and nodded his head. He held your hand and planted a kiss on the top.

"You've got something in your hair Jamie," You giggled and picked out a small dandelion, "Make a wish!"

He grinned and you placed it on his hand. He shut his eyes and then blew it away after a moment.

"So... Are you looking forward to today?" He asked and you smiled widely.

"YES I can't wait! It's been one of my dreams to step foot on the brilliant vessel," You told and looked behind you, "We should be going. Come on!"

You grabbed he arm and pulled him up but he groaned. "Let me finish my coffee love, we've got plenty of time," James reasoned and you rolled your eyes.

You huffed then started walking away, James slapped your ass and laughed. "I'll meet you there, thanks for waiting for me sugar," He raised an eyebrow and you stuck your tongue out to him.

You were close to jumping with joy as you waited for all the crew members to set up the equipment. All the actors for this particular scene, including you, we're dressed in the X-men mission uniform.

You frowned as you scanned your clothes, feeling uncomfortable. "Does this look too tight?" You asked James who was standing by your side. He chuckled and leaned closer to you.

"It's not tight enough," He whispered and you clenched your jaw.

"Wow... smooth James," You commented then looked ahead to find the director calling last setup.

One of the crew led you and rest of the actors up and into the set of the airship and you struggled to contain your happiness.

"Oh... my... God," You muttered under your breath and ran to the front of the ship. You sat in one of the chairs and held the joystick for steering.

James smiled softly, watching you in awe, then took his phone out as the others gathered around. Michael sat in the co-pilot's seat and put on his most serious Magneto expression.

"What's happening here huh?" James asked and you almost punched the phone out of his hands.


"Ugh James put that away!"


"Oh no way! Something tells me I could use it later on-"

"Blackmail?"

"Pft no!" James smiled smugly and you glared at him. Even though he would deny it, he did feel a little frightened by you.

*****

"And CUT!" The director called out and after a few moments continued to say, "That's a wrap everyone!"

Michael walked over to Nicholas to talk to him, leaving you alone with James sitting next to you. You started playing with all the buttons that didn't actually do anything but have you some satisfaction that you were living your childhood dream.

You started telling James the entire history of the origins of the ship you were sitting in... the comic version of course, and it spiralled into you talking about that one of many times Charles Xavier was killed in the comics.

James listened to you silently, smiling softly and nodding his head from time to time in agreement. He loved listening to your stories and what you had to say.

"And then Logan decided to..." She stopped suddenly and sighed, "I'm boring you aren't I, baby?"

"No of course not love!" He said and smiled, completely in love with you, "Gosh you're such a nerd."

You crossed your arms and frowned, "James-"


"I love it so much," He commented and moved closer to you, his eyes drifting your lips, "Continue talking."

You bit your lip then went on about Logan, but started laughing soon. "What?" You questioned, smiling uncontrollably.

"You're adorable. How did I end up with you?" He whispered then parted his lips and placed them on yours.

You ran a hand through his hair and deepened the kiss. He pushed your back, coming closer to sitting on your seat and-

"AHEM!" Someone cleared their throat really loudly and you pulled away suddenly. You widened your eyes when you saw Michael standing at the entrance, watching with a smirk plastered on his face.

"You guys done eating each others' faces?" He leaned at the wall and folded his arms. You pushed James away from you when he didn't move himself. He'd be completely fine with continuing while Michael's standing there.

"You two coming for lunch?" Michael asked and you nodded your head.

"I'm coming!"

"That's what she said," James intervened and laughed, making you punch his arm playfully.

"You're such an ass James," You shook your head and he kissed you one final time on the cheek before getting up and following Michael out of the ship set.
