a/n: I was in the shower and I had this thought about Logan and Reader at a Christmas party at the X-mansion and Logan just going crazy with jealousy seeing Reader interact with anyone but him. This idea didn't leave my mind so I had to write it... This was supposed to be a drabble, but it ended up being a bit long and I don't know if I liked it :/
The X-mansion was bustling with mutants celebrating the Christmas season. Logan stood off to the side, nursing a beer as he observed the festive scene. His eyes, however, frequently darted to you as you laughed and chatted with Scott and some other mutants. A pang of jealousy flickered in his eyes each time Scott made you laugh or touched your arm. Logan tried to play it cool, but the irritation was becoming harder to hide. Despite his efforts to appear nonchalant, his clenched jaw and narrowed eyes betrayed his feelings.
By the time the night wore on, Loganโs patience was wearing thin. Each time Scott leaned in too close, it felt like a personal provocation. He drained his beer, hoping to douse the fire in his chest, but the ache only grew. He couldnโt shake the thought: it should be him making you laugh, standing at your side.
โCareful,โ came Stormโs voice from behind, pulling him from his brooding thoughts. โIf you keep glaring like that, people might think youโve got something to say.โ
Logan didnโt even look at her, his gaze still locked on you across the room. โWhat are you talking about?โ
Storm followed his gaze, amused. โOh, nothing. Just that youโve been staring at her all night and look like youโre about to burst a vein. Got something on your mind?โ
Logan scowled, still refusing to engage. His silence spoke volumes.
Stormโs tone softened, her playful edge giving way to sincerity. โYou know, you could just tell her how you feel. Sheโs been glancing your way all night. But keep sulking, and you might regret it.โ
Loganโs jaw clenched again at the thought, but he didnโt say anything. He muttered a curse under his breath and moved deeper into the party, his eyes scanning the crowd for you.
He pushed past a few groups of mutants, the noise and chatter growing louder as he tried to focus. The lively conversations, clinking glasses, and the upbeat Christmas music filled the air. He was aware of the conversations happening nearby, but none of them mattered. All he could think about was you. He had to find you.
Through the crowd, Logan finally caught sight of you. You were alone in a quiet corner of the room, standing before the large Christmas tree. The twinkling lights reflected in your eyes as you sipped your drink, lost in thought, your back turned to the noise of the party.
He slowly made his way through the crowd, his steps deliberate but uncertain. For a moment, he hesitated. There was something so peaceful about you standing there, almost as if you belonged in that quiet corner, untouched by the noise and chaos of the celebration. Logan took a step closer, and you sensed his presence behind you. You didnโt turn, but a smile spread across your face.
"Hi, Logan. โDidnโt think Iโd see you tonight,โ you greet with a gentle voice, watching the lights on the Christmas tree twinkle.
Logan cleared his throat, the gruffness in his voice betraying his nerves. โCan we talk for a minute?โ
You turned, curious about his tone. โSure, whatโs up?โ
He stepped closer, his hands slipping into his pockets as he gathers his thoughts. His voice was hesitant but firm. โI noticed youโve been... getting pretty close to Scott tonight.โ
You raised an eyebrow, the sudden change in his tone catching you off guard. โOh, well yeah... you know how Scott is,โ you said, giggling. โHe likes to crack jokes even when no one finds them funny. Heโs lucky my laugh comes easy.โ
Logan gave you a tight smile, but it didnโt reach his eyes. He nodded, trying to suppress the tightening feeling in his chest. โRight. You two seem to get along pretty well lately. Are you...?โ
He stop, the question unfinished, but you could hear the uncertainty in his voice. His usual confidence wavered slightly, and it made you pause, confused by his sudden discomfort. You raise an eyebrow at his intense gaze, curious about his sudden upset. For a moment, your smile falters as you grasp the question Logan is hinting at. You tilted your head, sensing something deeper in his question. "Scott and I..." you trailed off, noticing his tense expression. โWeโre friends, Logan. Why do you ask?โ
"Just making sure.." He murmurs, his eyes fixed on your face, scanning your expression. He tries to hide it, but there's a hint of vulnerability in his usually stoic demeanor. His voice was quieter now, and as he stood a bit closer, you could feel the tension radiating off him. The space between you felt charged, like something unspoken was hanging in the air. You could see through himโhis rough exterior couldnโt hide the vulnerability beneath.
Realization flickered across your face, and you tilted your head, studying him. โLogan, are you jealous?โ you asked, half-teasing, half-genuine.
His jaw tightened, and for a moment, he looked as though he might deny it. Instead, he let out a heavy breath. โMaybe. Hell, probably.โ
Your smile softened, and you took a small step toward him. โScottโs my friend. Thatโs all. You donโt need to worry about him.โ
The tension in Loganโs shoulders eased, but his gaze stayed locked on you. He hesitated again as if weighing his next words. When he spoke, his voice was quieter, almost vulnerable. โThereโs something Iโve been meaning to say. Something I shouldโve said a long time ago...โ He falters, gathering his thoughts, but before he can continue, you canโt help but jump in.
You raised an eyebrow, teasing him, a smile dancing across your lips as realization dawns on you. "Oh my god, Logan! Are you trying to tell me you're in love with me, you big silly man?" You lean in closer, eyes sparkling with mischief, enjoying the sight of his awkward demeanor and surprised expression.
Logan's eyes widened at your words. He hadn't expected you to address his struggle to find the right words so bluntly. A mix of embarrassment and relief washed over his face as he looked at you. He sputtered, his usually confident demeanor faltering in the face of your teasing. "What?! I'm notโ" His denial was half-hearted, his face betraying his true feelings.
You raised an eyebrow, feigning confusion as a playful smile tugged at the corners of your lips. "You're not what? Not in love with me?" you asked innocently, tilting your head to one side in a teasing manner. The amusement in your voice danced through the air, and you relished the effect your words had on him. You could see the cracks beginning to form in his typically tough exterior, and it thrilled you. Biting your bottom lip, you felt a rush of excitement and nervousness, your heart pounding wildly in your chest as you eagerly awaited his response.
He opens his mouth to protest further, but the denial dies on his tongue as he looks at you. The sight of your playful expression, coupled with the knowledge that you've seen through his attempt to hide his feelings leaves him uncharacteristically flustered.
His eyes search yours, his usual guarded expression broken down. He struggles for words, his gruff exterior giving way to a vulnerability he rarely shows.
Logan clenched his jaw, trying to regain some control over the situation. But your teasing words and the amusement in your eyes made it difficult to suppress his feelings.
He let out a sigh, his shoulders slumping slightly in defeat. "All right, damnit. You got me. Yes, Iโฆ" He looked directly into your eyes, his voice dropping to almost a whisper. "I'm in love with you. Have been for a while, if I'm being honest. I just couldn't figure out how to tell you."
Your eyes soften at his admission, a small smile tugging at the corners of your lips. You step closer to him, eliminating the small distance between you. "Damn, Logan. It took you long enough to admit it. I was starting to think you had a thing for Scott instead of me." you teased, your tone affectionate.
Logan rolled his eyes in mock annoyance, but a small smirk tugged at his mouth. "Shut up," he mutters, his hands instinctively resting on your waist. "Don't even joke about that." His increasingly serious eyes roamed over your face, taking in every feature, as if committing them to memory.
You laughed, stepping closer, until there was barely any space between you. โFor the record,โ you said softly, โyouโre the one I want. Not Scott, not anyone else.โ
Relief washed over Loganโs face, softening his usual gruffness. โYeah?โ he murmured, his hands hesitating before resting on your waist.
โYeah.โ Your voice was steady, your gaze unwavering. โJust you.โ
Logan's expression relaxed at your words, his forehead gently resting against yours. The proximity made your breathing hitch and your heart skip a beat. You leaned a little closer, your faces mere inches apart. The air was electric between you, filled with tension and desire. Logan's eyes flickered down to your lips, the craving for you visible in his gaze. He closed the distance between you, his lips capturing yours in a kiss. It was at the same time tender and intense, his passion for you finally spilling over.
The kiss deepened as your arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. The world around you faded away for a moment, leaving just the two of you. When the kiss ended, he rested his forehead against yours, both of you panting slightly, Loganโs eyes searched your face as if he were afraid this was all just a dream. He let out a shaky exhale, his breath warm against your skin.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that," he murmured, his voice filled with both relief and awe.
You smiled, your fingers tracing the edge of his jaw, your touch tender and loving. โI think Iโve got an idea,โ you replied, tilting your head to look up at him. Logan wrapped his arms around your waist, holding you a little closer. He buried his face in your hair, inhaling your scent and holding you tightly. The tension of the night finally melted away. The distant hum of the party faded into the background as the two of you stood together, wrapped in each otherโs warmth.
