HANDS TOUCH HIS, warmth in every gesture. they're old friends, old lovers. where jean grey's memories go, scott summers' ghost follows. it is a quiet morning, the first one they've had in many; a soft sunrise as she sits atop the roof. years ago, she held the hand of a boy she loved on this roof. years ago — things were simpler. the view melts away, the picture burns, the sun hidden by a cloud. her mind is her best friend, and her worst enemy. jean stares straight into his eyes, wanting an answer without words. wanting him to tell her it'll be okay. the pain throbs, the memories haunt. how can you be two people at once? how can you be a villain and a hero? how can you deserve any good? ❝ the dreams came back. ❞
❝ i can't tell what's real and what's not. ❞ her voice a whisper, a surrender. she holds the white flag, she falls before her demons. this is how it ends. ❝ scott. i think its time i ended things. once and for all. ❞ | @optiblasts
