Stop pouting in my brain, please.

I'm not deliberately pouting in your brain. Maybe you should shield me out. I'm not being snarky, I honestly feel like crap and I'm not sure what I'm doing.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

I don't want to shield you out, I just got you back.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I don't really want you to shield me out either. Even if I am being a pain in the ass.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

My pain in the ass and I love you. I don't really want to strangle you.

... much.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I almost wouldn't mind if you strangled me right now.

I love you too.

Your throat needs no extra abuse after the water you tried to breathe.

Des misses you, you know. She was actually nice to me when I stopped upstairs earlier to feed her and change.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

You're still sleeping down here? I'm not going anywhere, you know. I promise.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

No, you're not. Neither am I.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

You're so stubborn. That's sexy as well as reassuring.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Have to be to keep up with you, Mr. Pot.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Just for that I'm going to start singing 'I'm a little teapot' in your head.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Do and I start providing you with vivid mental images of things you're far too doped to do.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Tease. I like that about you, too.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

It's only teasing if I don't intend to follow through. I'm just looking at the (really) long term.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Yes. As I am old now, and will take for-freaking-ever to heal. I envy people their healing factors right now, let me tell you.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Being old has nothing what so ever to do with it taking a long time to heal from you having broken your jaw and almsot every rib you have, not to mention the shrapnel wounds.

And the drowning. Let's not forget the drowning. Someday I may forgive you for that, but not anytime soon.

This is going to sound a little odd, but... I think he was actually trying to kill me. Not Nimrod - obviously he was trying to kill me. Erik.

I'm not a mindreader, and I might be wrong... and I don't know why I should be surprised anyway.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Oh. Huh.

I don't even know how to try to cope with that right now, Scott.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Well. There's a reason why I haven't thought about it too hard yet either. And I don't know if I ever want to broach the issue with Charles.

Although, what he did to Garrison on the ground would tend to lend some weight to that hypothesis. And now the drugs are making me channel Hank.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Channeling Hank on these drugs is somewhat alarming, given they're more often likely to cause someone to channel Rachel, say. Or Joyita.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

You know me. Mr. Idiosyncratic-Reactions-To-Painkillers. I'm actually impressed one of you wonderful people came up with something I can be on for a week without puking my guts up on a regular basis.

Which would be rather alarming with a wired jaw. So thank you. Seriously.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

You're welcome - Amelia and I have been working on that one for a while. We think we've finally got something worked out that can be tailored to most energy projectors.

Although given that it seems to make you a little bit hyperactive, we're probably not quite where we want to be.
