Today was the day! The life-changing day. The day where you had your whole future ahead of you.
It was graduation day!

You finished curling the last strand of hair satisfied you smiled into the mirror. You were donned in a heart line royal blue dress with matching elegant royal blue gloves that finished in a delicate lace up to your elbows.

Jean was finishing her makeup already dressed in a gorgeous floral knee high dress with her graduation robes overtop. Ororo in a magnificent gold sundress and Jubilee in an almost neon yellow outfit with a pink bomber jacket poking out from under her robe.

There was a scuffle of feet outside the dorm, and the boys came marching in.
They all dressed smartly, but your eyes were only for Warren.
He wore a dashing royal blue suit, his messy hair was tamed and in his hand was a bundle of the robes. His pure angelic wings were folded behind him as he was careful to not over another table.

Smiling you approached Warren his eyes raked down your body, and a smile grew on his lips. "Look at you even more handsome" you gushed standing on your tiptoes to kiss on the nose Warren sneakily dodged taking your lips in his. Warren snuck his arms around your waist pulling you closer until you were flush against him you looped your arms around his neck your hand ran through the blonde curls.
"Did you need help with your robes angel boy?"
Warren kissed up and down your neck - not a care in the world for the others in the room - before pulling away mumbling something about clothes.

Guiding Warren by the hand into the suite bathroom you took the robes from him. It was difficult to get them on with his large feathery wings protruding from his back.
Placing the robes on the counter, you walked up to Warren his gaze lingered on your eyes with a lopsided smile.
" you are beautiful, princess. Your beautiful every day" Warren spoke softly into your ear
Your hand was in his chest with a sly grin you traced upwards slowly until it was reaching his necktie that lay crooked and almost undone. Fixing the tie you looked through your lashes up at Warren who stared at you with dark sea green eyes.
Your hand lingered on the tie while thinking how is one person so perfect?

You cleared your throat blushing to look down then walked back to the table fetching the robe. You held it out in front of you - there were two unusual slips in the back you deducted were designed for Warrens wings.
"Can you er spread your wings?" You asked

It took five minutes for you to get the robe on Warren properly, but the end result was worth it as his wings along with the robe truly made him look even more like an angel.
You chucked on you robe flattening out the crinkles when the door flew open and Jean who looked slightly frazzled blurted out, "it's starting"

You and the rest of the mutants in your year sat in the courtyard the rest of the school peering anxiously in.
The professors and teacher alike: Hank McCoy, Professor X, Mystique and a few others stood proudly.

To say you zoned out was an understatement. You lay eyes half awake your head rested on Scott's shoulder who to seemed struggling to pay attention to the underwhelming speech.
Warren who sat on your right nudged you with his wing. You snapped out of your trance looking ahead at the stage where Professor X beamed at the audience handing out diplomas.
"Maximoff, Peter"
cheers erupted, and Peter appeared on the stage his robe billowed up behind him a silver blur faded.
You cheered until your throat became hoarse, applauding each of your friends who were called and when you thought you might have lost your voice Warren was called to the stage.
You watched him walk up the stage confidence ebbing off him. You hollered and cheered clapping so hard you wouldn't have noticed if your hand fell off. Warren caught your gaze from across the stage and winked you blew him a kiss.

You breathed in profoundly fidgeting with the gloves pulling the fingers lose before fixing it again. Your breathing hitched and a wave of excitement rushed past you hearing the mailer last name your name. Eagerly you stood eyes wide and a small grin on your lips with significant strides you took your place next to the professor. For once Daniels disappointed if not murderous gaze didn't bother you and you bet he was half petrified if Warren or Scott caught him staring at you.

As soon as the graduation was over the students filed out leaving only your group and a few others in your year who talked to the teachers. Jean had asked a nearby parent to take a photo of the group.
You stood in front of the school your arms wrapped around Jean and Peter: Ororo beamed at the camera next to Kurt and Jubilee, and Scott and Warren stood behind you and Jean.

"Can I get a copy, Jean? I am going to send it to my parents back in North Dakota."
Jean smiled handing you a freshly printed picture which you pocketed.

It was Jubilees idea to go out into the mall and celebrate hence why you walked hand in hand with Warren who shuffled anxiously under the human's eyes.
You slid into an empty booth everyone he else filed in after you all 8 squashed into a six-seater booth.

A chirpy waitress came by taking your orders, and after half an hour of endless chatter the food arrived, and further chat was soon finished with the new goal of devouring the mouth-watering burgers, milkshakes and fries paid out in front of you.
"Look at us all the newest generation of Xmen" Peter joked
"Well, I'm more like a reliever Xmen. I'll be there if it's the end of the world" you said taking a sip from your milkshake.

Warren wrapped his wing around you separating you from the window which you leant against pulling you closer to him. Jean threw herself into a long discussion about her school she's always dreamed of opening after the professors time, and you do remember vaguely promising to fill in as a teacher.

With a full stomach, you managed to haul yourself into the gaming room where reminiscing old times everyone joined in with a spirited game of air hockey.

Warren got ready to verse Peter he swayed laughing with a beer in his hand you were by his side pecking him on the corner of his mouth for goodluck
"If bird boy  wins will you exclaim your undying love for him" Peter spoke loudly taking a bite from a Twinkie
You blushed and caught Warrens gaze his eyes not wavering from your he said
" I already know and—"  he said glancing down smiling affectionately at the gold band ring on his finger that was the twin of the one in your  hand,
" I love her" he finished as his words were as real as the love - more love you thought it was humanly possible to feel rolled over you from the golden band on your finger.
" I love you," you said honestly at the same time you reached for each other hands and intertwined the fingers glancing sheepishly at each other.

"Get a room you two" hollered Scott from the other side fake gagging
You blushed furiously looking up Warren wore his signature smirk as he hit back the air hockey game winning.
