God, it was good to not have to bite his tongue around 'little mister hero worship' that was Bobby. Sure, he'd hated the streets; there was only so much that a person could take and while he maybe didn't feel cold the same way other people did, he still hated scrounging for food and the like. So the Institute had seemed almost too perfect from the start for John. And being paired up with Bobby from the start probably opened his eyes to that faster than anything else.
"Seems like it'd be uncomfortable." Honestly, it was still astounding to John that people thought Scott Summers was a good role model for teenagers. "It's a bit unfathomable that he'd ever be 'cool', in any sense of the word." How someone could be that dull all the time, John had no idea. "Still boggles the mind how he ended up with Professor Grey. Like, you'd think a telepath had higher standards, right?"
John had brought it up once with Bobby and immediately been shot down, like he'd just questioned Bobby's OTP or something. "You ever get the 'control your emotions to control your powers' speech?"
