"Professor, what's your plan for Christmas?" I asked drinking my wild berry fizz. Tony, I and Professor came out for dinner, Professor suggested that we should go out together once, before Christmas. Tony and Professor are sitting together and I'm sitting across them alone.

"Nothing new, going to Tony's grandma place in Hawaii." He smiled placing his hand on Tony's.

"Oh. Nothing new? You do this every year.

"Yes, ever since we know each other." Tony said tiredly. "I used to be the only one getting bullied at my grandparents house before him. Now it's two of us." I chuckled at his response.

"Is it that bad?" I asked genuinely.
"Oh it's really bad." Professor said as Tony twitched his eyebrow at him making me laugh.

"Could spend Christmas with your relatives?" I asked looking at Professor.

"Ain't have any." Professor shrugged.

"I'm sorry." I said in a low voice.

"It's alright. What are you going to do?"

"My dad is coming back from training on Christmas Eve. I'm going to celebrate it with him." I smiled widely thinking about our Christmas together.

"Your father is in army. Are you going to follow his path too?" Professor asked curiously.

"Hoping for it." I criss crossed my fingers as a wide smile played on my face.

"Hoping? There's no doubt about the fact that you'll be on the army." Tony exclaimed as I smile in pride.

"You stole my words." Professor said before his phone rings. "I'll be right back." Professor said walking out.

"Steve, someone is stalking you." Tony said looking behind me. I turned around and saw the guy from the trip.

"I know him. I met him on the trip." I shrugged.

"So, did he become unavailable to you?"

"No but I already told him I'm not interested so there's no chance."

"Well, I think he didn't get it." Tony said locking his eyes behind me.

"Hey, Steve." James said standing next to me before I could turn around.

"Hey." I said standing up and shaking hands with him.

"Who is your hot friend?" He said eyeing Tony and jealousy rush through me but before I could response.

"Tony Stark and who are you?" Professor came from behind Tony, draping his arm around Tony.

"I'm James Howlett and you are?" He held out his hand to Professor. Professor took it and colour on James face changed.

"Charles Xavier." Tony smirks, looking at Professor fondly.

"Nice meeting you, James." Tony stood up, putting his hands on Professor shoulder as Professor let go off James.

"Nice to meet you too, especially you Mr. Xavier." James smiled. "I'm gonna take off." He looked in my direction before walking out.

"Every time." Professor said before sitting down next to Tony as Tony just shrugged.

"Every time what?" I asked.

"Every time we go out for dinner, someone would try to hit on Tony." I glanced at Tony.

"I'm charming." He open his arms and shrugged.

"It won't take you long enough to move on from me." Professor blurted out before he realised what he just said and smile on Tony's face fell.
