Under the Moon's Gaze (Alex Summers X-Men First Class Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-Two: French Toast

Chapter Twenty Two

The next day I woke up before Alex and carefully loosened his grip around me before getting out of bed and making my way downstairs. Which was a struggle given the fact that I still had a cast attached to my leg. But I still managed to make my way into the kitchen after some time.

Right before I had fallen asleep the night before I had decided that I was tired of mopping around. After my talk with Alex I saw how the only way to feel better was to open up and allow life to keep moving forward. So that was what I was going to do, I was going to do everything in my power to bring this house back to how it was before. Being the only girl in the house now meant that it was my duty to take care of the boys. God knows how this house would be if I let them be. Already the house had started to gather filth which only looking at made me shudder. I’ll have to clean the whole house I thought to myself, Of course I’ll just tell the boys what to do, supervising is a very important role. Plus I’m injured.

Once in the kitchen I began to roam through the fridge to see what food there was. After throwing some things that had began to go to waste away, I found that there were only eggs, butter and milk in the fridge that still worked. Great. Then it was time to move into the pantry, there I found some bread that still worked along with cinnamon, so I decided to make French Toast.

Raven and Moira had taught me how to move around the kitchen while they were still here, and I had found that I quite enjoyed it so I had learned a lot quickly. So making French toast was simple. Taking out a bowl and whisk I began to mix everything in before I placed a pan on the stove, turning it on medium.

After I had made a couple and placed them on a plate, I heard footsteps making their way downstairs. I kept putting more bread onto the pan as whoever came down walked into the kitchen.

“Is that French Toast?” I heard Sean ask.

“Yup” I responded, popping the “p” at the end still looking forward and not at him.

“Yes! You are amazing” he practically squealed, giving me a short hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“Hey! Keep your hand off my girlfriend.” I then heard Alex say from the door.

I giggle as Sean wrapped his arms around me while he stuck his tongue out at Alex.

“Make me” he mocked.

“Oh I plan on it” Alex said with an evil smirk on his face.

“Ok boys take it outside; meanwhile I’ll just stay in here and enjoy this breakfast all by myself”

A look of terror came over Sean’s face after I said that, causing me to laugh more.

“Oh gosh, here take them into the dining room and set up some plates yeah?” I told him as I placed the last of the toast with the rest, handing it to him. He gave me a military like salute before taking the plate from my hands and heading out of the kitchen.

“You seem a lot better this morning” Alex said stepping closer to me.

“Well last night I talked to someone who made me realize that it was best to keep moving forward instead of standing still and feeling sorry for myself.”

“Oh really, who was this person. He sounds really smart.”

“Oh he is, and handsome and kind” I told him using my fingers as I listed his attributes.

“You don’t say. Do I know him?” he asked moving even closer to me now.

“Nah, I don’t think you do.”

By now Alex was right in front of me, ours chests pressed against one another. His face only inches from mine as he pinned me to the counter, his hands on either side of me.

“Well I’d love to meet this man you speak so highly of” He whispered into my ear and I felt my legs wobble for a bit.

He leaned in to seal his lips with mine, right before he could though Sean walked in the room.

“Come on! I haven’t even had breakfast yet and I feel like I’m going to throw up” He whined. “Get a room!” he yelled throwing a dish towel at us before getting all the things he needed to set up the table.

I blushed as I hid my face into Alex’s chest before releasing myself from his grasp and helping Sean set up the table. I heard Alex let out a low groan from being interrupted as I left the kitchen, causing a giggle to escape my lips.

After a few seconds he too came out of the kitchen and accompanied us. Later followed by Hank who wheeled Charles in, following the smell of food from their rooms. We all sat together at the table again after so long; Sean talked nonstop, me doing the same at times while Hank and Charles sat there giving their input every once in a while. It was nice, I felt like maybe this would work out and things would be ok somehow.

I turned to look over at Alex who was looking at me intently from beside me. He had a smile plastered on his face; I guess he was happy to see everyone together again too. He gave me a quick wink before turning to argue with Sean about who knows what again.

I turned back to the conversation too, but soon found it hard to concentrate as I felt a hand slip onto my thigh, sending shivers throughout my body. Looking at Alex, he had a smirk on his face from my reaction but continued to look forwards. His hand never moved as He combined to act like nothing was happening while I squirmed around hoping no one noticed how pink my cheeks looked.

He enjoyed seeing me flustered but I plan on getting back at him later.
