You couldn’t believe you’d been
talked into a game of ‘spin the bottle’. You felt somewhat childish as you sat
in a circle of various potentials, losing the ‘nose game’ which decided who had
to go first spinning the bottle. Nervously, you spun the bottle that was placed
in the middle of the circle, watching as it went around quickly until it
finally slowed and landed on…
ALEX SUMMERS
Alex. He didn’t even know how he’d
been convinced to sit in on this ridiculous game. A bunch of “ooooo”’s echoed
in the room, Scott giving his brother an encouraging thumbs up as he knew full
well that Alex had had a crush on you for a really long time. Alex rolled his
eyes, attempting to seem as if he wasn’t nervous but in reality, everyone could
see the blush that had appeared on his cheeks.
He looked up from the bottle,
meeting your nervous gaze and you shrugged your shoulders, giving him a small
smile.
“Fuck it,” Alex muttered, sitting
on his knees and leaning across the circle until his lips met yours.
For most players that went first in
Spin the Bottle, they’d give a quick kiss to the person that the bottle landed
on. However, for you and Alex, both of you were more than a little eager as one
of his hands reached up to cup your cheek and he used the other to lean on.
Your lips moved desperately against one another’s, both of you having waited
for this moment for far too long.
“Um, guys,” Scott said, clearing
his throat as everyone around you were sitting with smirks on their faces, “you’re
welcome to take this elsewhere but other people want to have a turn.”
You and Alex pulled away, both of
you blushing furiously and Alex not being able to take his eyes off of you. He’d
been wanting to do that since the moment he met you and despite the audience,
kissing you for the first time was better than he could have imagined.
“That sounds like a really good
idea, actually,” he agreed, getting to his feet and then helping you onto
yours. You buried your head into Alex’s shoulder as he led the two of you away
from the group, Peter wolf whistling while you made your escape.
CHARLES XAVIER
Charles. Charles had thought he’d
safely got out of playing the game, standing next to Erik as the two of them
were more watchers of the games than participants. He glowered at Raven who had
been the one to leave a gap in the group so if the bottle landed in the gap it
would be directed at Charles and he rarely prodded into Raven’s mind but this
was different.
‘I hate you,’ he thought to her and
she looked at him with a smirk, you sitting in utter confusion because you
weren’t sure if your spin counted.
“Go on, (Y/N),” Raven just about
yelled, “give Charles a good ol’ kiss!”
Erik snorted, pushing Charles
towards you as you got onto your feet. Even Hank, who thought the game was
stupid, was grinning quite widely.
“I mean, (Y/N), if this makes you
uncomfor-,” Charles began saying nervously, only to be cut off as you wrapped
your arms around him and kissed him. It might have been the alcohol you’d been
drinking earlier that made you so confident, but you felt like you deserved to
finally kiss the man you’d been in love with so long.
Charles stood in shock for a moment
but kissed you back enthusiastically, wrapping his arms around your waist and
then pulling you closer to him. Both of you smiled into the kiss, Raven and
Hank high fiving because it was about damn time.
“You know, for a telepath, Charles,
I thought you would’ve realised (Y/N) liked you,” Erik mused, you and Charles
pulling away but your arms remaining around each other.
“Is there a button that’ll just
make you go away?” Charles said, causing Raven to roll her eyes.
“It’s called getting a room, you
crazy kids.”
ERIK LEHNSHERR
Erik. He swore he’d just been
passing through and not participating in this game at all. He’d made it clear
that he wasn’t to be included and yet the bottle had somehow ‘landed’ on him
and now he was staring at you with his mouth slightly open and a red face.
“We should spin it again, Erik said
he wasn’-,” Hank began but Erik began shushing him.
“I don’t mind doing it just this
once, Hank. It did land on me,” Erik nearly tripped over his feet trying to get
to you and you, rather confused, got onto your feet.
“Weren’t you just passing through?”
you asked him, Erik shaking his head as the others smirked.
“Change of heart?”
“You’re an idiot,” you said before
standing on your tippy-toes and kissing him gently. To your surprise, when you
went to pull away, Erik pulled you closer to him and kissed you again. Everything
seemed to feel right but the nerves began to fill Erik and he stepped away, his
face a rather bright red.
“I can’t believe he finally did it.”
Raven said loudly and Erik mumbled ‘sorry’ before dashing out of the room.
“I think that means he likes you?”
Alex laughed and you childishly stuck out your tongue before going after the
embarrassed mutant.
HANK MCCOY
Hank. The scientist’s heart seemed
to get caught in his throat as you smiled encouragingly at you. Leaning across
the circle, you gently grabbed him by the collar and pulled him towards you,
kissing him quickly on the lips before going to move back to your spot. To your
amazement, as you went to sit back, he took you
by the collar and pulled you towards him and kissed you with just a bit more
confidence and a bit more passion. You sighed into the kiss, your lips moving
slowly together and Alex started slow clapping.
“And the beast finally gets the
girl. What a moment!”
You and Hank pulled away, a giggle
escaping your lips as Hank promptly gave Alex the middle finger.
KURT WAGNER
Kurt. He didn’t have much
experience with girls and when the bottle landed on him, he considered shifting
into the other room to avoid this. Everyone knew about his crush on you and to
share his first kiss with you, in front of everyone, was extremely nerve-racking.
“Is this okay?” you asked him
quietly, your face inches away from his and he gulped.
“Er – yes, very okay!”
He briefly looked around at
everyone who was grinning encouragingly until suddenly, your lips were on his.
Kurt felt like fainting, your lips much softer than he’d ever imagined and he
cupped your face as he kissed you rather lovingly.
He was disappointed when you pulled
away, you kissing his nose before turning back to the waiting group.
“What cuties,” Jean winked, “does
this mean you’ll finally admit you like Kurt, (Y/N)?”
PETER MAXIMOFF
Peter. He had to do a double take
when he realised that the bottle had landed on him and he thanked whatever God
there was for having the bottle land on him. Peter wasn’t exactly good at
hiding his feelings, his excitement written all over his face.
“Whoa,” you giggled when he was
suddenly in front of you.
“Hi,” Peter grinned and then he
kissed you. You almost forgot to kiss back in shock, feeling equally excited
that you’d gotten the opportunity to kiss the silver headed boy that you’d had
a crush on for ages. You flung your arms around his neck, kissing him back and
Peter was almost buzzing in happiness.
“Hey lovebirds!” Scott yelled, “there
are other people here, y’know.”
Peter leaned away, ignoring Scott, “wanna
get out of here?”
“Thought you’d never ask.”
And then suddenly you were in the
other room, not having time to recover from the quick movements as the two of
you began to kiss once more.
SCOTT SUMMERS
Scott. His heart raced as his eyes
met with yours, him giving a small smile as he tried to pretend that he wasn’t
shitting himself in terror that he was going to make a fool of himself.
‘Just act cool, just act cool,’
Scott repeated in his head as the two of you began to lean over, ignoring the
encouraging wolf whistles and comments. Everyone had been waiting for one of
you to admit to each other that you liked one another but it seemed like it
wouldn’t happen.
Your lips met halfway and you absentmindedly
ran a hand through his hair, getting caught up in the moment as the two of you
kissed eagerly. Both of you wanted to kiss just a little longer but you became
very conscious of the watching eyes. Pulling away, Scott felt like he was no
longer in control of what he said next.
“Man, I’ve been wanting to do that
for ages,” he said, the smile on his face falling when he realised what he said
and he quickly retreated back into the circle as you blushed furiously.
‘Me too,’ you mouthed to him before
giving an amusing wink.
