Misunderstanding
I don’t remember exactly how Storm’s gardens looked, so I’ll just make it up!! Hope you like this chapter!!
Chapter 4-Misunderstanding
Charles made his way outside, checking Storm’s greenhouse first. Not finding the weather witch anywhere inside or nearby it, he headed to the next spot she might be, the rose garden Ororo had planted by herself. He found her tending to one of the bushes. She was kneeling on the ground, cutting a few of the stems off.
“Storm?” Charles questioned softly, trying not to startle her like he’d done earlier. He watched her posture stiffen slightly as he spoke. She turned to look up at him, a small smile on her face.
“Hello, did you need something?” She asked, surprised to see him after seeing him only an hour before. She stripped off her gardening gloves, wiping her sweaty hands on the pants she was wearing. Storm then ran her hands through her hair, sighing slightly. Charles tried not to stare at her now exposed throat.
“Well, I wanted to see how your hand was doing.” He said, telling only part of the reason. He had something else to tell her as well, but he mostly wanted to drag out the time he spent with her. She’d been quite busy lately and they hadn’t done much together for quite a while now. ‘Just a few of those nights we read together.’ He mused, both of them suffered from occasional bouts of insomnia and it wasn’t unusual for them to go to the other for company when that happened.
“I know that’s not the only reason.” Storm said, smiling up at him. “Though I do appreciate the concern, I know that’s not the main reason!! I’ve known you too long for that!” He smiled at her glad to know she still knew when he wasn’t telling her everything. Even though he could still keep important secrets from her, like his deep feelings for her.
“There is something else. Erik and Wanda are going to be staying with us for a while.” He stated, stopping to watch her reaction. She blinked in surprise, then gave a small smile.
“I’m sure Erik has ulterior motives for being here, and I’m sure he won’t stay very long.” Charles laughed lightly, nodding his agreement.
“Yes, I figured as much. Though I’m sure once Wanda settles in, she’ll stay, even when her father leaves, for I know he will.” Storm made a non-committal noise and toyed with one of the roses on the bush in front of her. ‘Why is she so distant today? And what was that last night?’ He leaned down and snagged one of the cut roses from the ground. Acting impulsively, he swept Ororo’s hair behind one ear and tucked the partially bloomed rose snuggly into her hair over her ear.
Storm gasped softly, blushing as his hand settled on her fully exposed neck. His soft smile sent her blood on fire and the myriad of emotions running across his face confused her even more. She opened her mouth to say something, but froze. ‘If I say anything now...I’ll end up telling him how I feel!!’ Her mouth snapped shut and the two of them were saved from further conversation as a peel of thunder broke the sudden silence.
“Ah...thunder?” Charles questioned, blinking rapidly, pulling his hand away from Ororo he looked up at the darkening sky as rain began to fall. He quickly reached down to help Storm to her feet and the two of them hurried to a large tree near the roses. By the time they found shelter under the branches, their clothes were already soaked through.
“Wow!! That came on suddenly!!” Storm commented, wringing out her hair, careful not to dislodge the flower tucked behind her ear. She laughed lightly, turning to smile at Charles. He couldn’t help smiling back, managing to keep his eyes on her face, even though they wanted to examine the rest of her body where her clothes clung to her, outlining all her womanly curves.
Storm found herself staring at Charles, his eyes were turned away, looking into the distance. Her eyes roamed over his chest where his long-sleeved black shirt clung to him, outlining his muscular upper body. Unconsciously she moved closer, remembering how warm and rough his hands had been before. She reached out, fingers brushing softly over the back of one of his hands. He jumped slightly, turning his deep brown eyes to lock onto hers. “Ororo?” He questioned, heart racing quickly as her fingers curled around his hand. Storm then leaned down, kissing his lips softly.
Charles felt a jolt race through his body as her warm mouth pressed against his own. He was frozen in his chair. He tried to kiss back but his body didn’t listen to him. Storm pulled back abruptly, moving her hand away from him. Her eyes filled with unshed tears, lips trembling, face reddening with embarrassment. ‘He...doesn’t feel the same way!! Why’d I kiss him?!’ Her eyes flicked around anxiously, needing to get away. Her hand flew up to her mouth, biting back a sob. “S-sorry...I need to...just...” She trailed off, spinning on her heel she fled, running through the rain to the mansion.
Charles stared at her, in shock at what happened. ‘She...feels the same...’ He thought, smiling softly. His smile disappeared suddenly. “Damn it!! Why couldn’t I kiss her back?!” He slammed his fist into the arm of his chair, hand covering his eyes. “Idiot!! She’ll think I don’t like her that way!!” Hurrying through the rain, he went in search of Ororo, needing to explain.

Erik headed down the hallway, having just finished in the Danger Room with Logan. Of course he’d beaten the other mutant, Logan’s metal bones left him at a disadvantage to the master of magnetism. Erik smirked to himself, loving the feeling of wining. Stopping to look out the window, he noticed two figures under a tree a ways from the house. It was Storm and Charles. He watched as the white-haired mutant leaned down and kissed Charles. Erik’s eyes widened in surprise at the sight. He watched as Storm pulled back and after a minute, raced towards the house. Erik grinned, a plan forming in his mind. ‘This should be fun!!’
* * * * * * * *
Storm hurried into the house, tears mingling with the rain running down her face. ‘Why did I do something so stupid?!!’ She started walking slowly out of the foyer, staring at the ground. “Are you alright Storm?” She jumped, eyes flying towards the voice.
“Oh...Erik, I’m fine.” Ororo said softly. “I just feel like a drowned rat!!” Erik laughed softly, smiling gently.
“You look like one too!” His gaze was piercing, eerie. Storm shivered at his strange look.
“Yes, well...I should go change now.” Ororo said, hurrying down the hall to her room. Erik started slowly towards the kitchen, stalling for time. Charles entered, the wheels of his chair squeaking from the water on them.
“Charles,” Erik said smoothly, hurrying over to him. “What were you doing out in this weather?” He questioned, raising an eyebrow at him. Charles looked up, seeming surprised to see him.
“Ah...just telling Ororo about your stay.” He said softly. “I should...get out of these clothes.”
“Why don’t I help you first...” Erik muttered silkily, leaning closer to lick a few drops of water off his neck. Charles froze, shivering at the feeling of the other man’s tongue on his sensitive flesh. His neck had always been a sweet spot for him, and Erik knew that, being his former lover.
“Erik, please.” Charles said, pushing his face back. “I don’t feel that way about you anymore, you must know that.” Erik just grinned at him, hand moving down to rest ontop of Charles’.
“But I think...deep down...you still love me...” He whispered, latching his mouth onto his neck just below his jaw. Charles gasped, unconsciously leaning into his mouth...
* * * * * * * *
Storm was about to change out of her wet clothes, when she remembered. “Damn it!!” She muttered. “Forgot my gardening tools, they shouldn’t be left in the rain.” She walked slowly back towards the foyer. As she started around the corner, she froze. She watched wide eyed as Erik sucked on Charles’ neck. Her heart clenched painfully at the sight. ‘No wonder he didn’t kiss me back...’ Tears fell from her eyes again, and she spun on her heel and fled to her room.
* * * * * * * *
“Erik!!” Charles managed to push him away from him, eyes dark with anger.
“Come on, Charles!” Erik said with a smirk. “I was just having some fun!!” Charles frowned deeply, not amused at all. “Don’t do it again!” Erik smirked at his back as Charles moved out of the room. ‘The game is on!!’ He thought, having seen Ororo out of the corner of his eye. Running his hand through his hair, Erik headed off to his room, smirking the whole way there.
