apocalypsosMy entry in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
minisinoo's Powerswap Challenge, which is short but sweet.
It seems funny to him somehow, but he always tells Jean he loves her with his eyes.
Everything else is sign language and scribbled notes, well-practiced gestures and facial expressions. Weeks will pass by where he doesn't give a damn the damage that he could cause if he spoke to his students or burped over a good meal like Bobby has been known to do on occasion, but not an hour goes by when he doesn't spot Jean and wish he could just say the words out loud.
It's part of the reason why he never writes them down, why he never sets the phrase to hand signals. If he can't say them aloud, he simply won't say them at all.
But he makes it known just by looking at her, and Jean is nothing if not well-versed in the heated looks he gifts her with every chance he gets.
Which, considering her mutation, might mean walking into the med lab and letting a warm, gentle gaze settle over ten hard-working redheads, all of whom can't help but beam at him in response.
Of course, he certainly won't complain about that. Because the more he sees her, whether it's in five different places at once or six Jeans huddled at a table in the kitchen whispering and giggling over him like a crowd of schoolgirls ... the more he knows it's real.
That he loves her more than anything, and not even a voice that destroys everything in its path can stop him from letting her know.
But he can't help it if the glass in the bathroom mirror has shattered a dozen times over as he's practiced saying it to himself, if he can't tell her in spoken words how he feels without blowing out her eardrums or if he's destroyed more trees than he can count in the woods behind the mansion yelling it in frustration.
All Scott can do is let Jean stare into his eyes and see.
Yup, Scott for Sean and Theresa ('cept he can't turn it down from 11 because of the head injury), and Jean for Jamie. There. One fic down this weekend, one to go.

Date: 2003-12-18 12:26 am (UTC)Scott as Banshee is interesting - though I must confess I have Scott with Sean's mutation in my own powerswap fic (I didn't know there was another Banshee!Scott around, honest! :p)
The tale is, as you say, short, and quite sweet.
