Who Rachel Grey-Summers and James Howlett
What Making up, talking it out.
Where Rachel's new place.
When Yesterday night?
Warning Teenage angst? I don't know.

The channels flipped with incredible speed across her TV, but Rachel wasn't watching it nor was she expecting to find something to decide on. She had eaten earlier but she suddenly felt the urge to eat again. Anything to just occupy herself. She knew James was coming, but she didn't know what would happen once he got there. And that really bothered her.

Part of her really wanted to forgive him. But the other part didn't want to let this go, let him just apologize then be forgiven. He'd just keep walking all over her, keeping hurting her...But they could be friends? But Rachel didn't want to be friends. It wouldn't feel like enough, like they were always tip-toeing and holding back. Rachel couldn't live like that.

Rachel sat on her counter to keep her feet from pacing and an ice cream carton spun in the microwave for five seconds, softening. One of Rachel's weird little quirks. Rachel put a bite in her mouth and then she felt him, his mind coming within the range that she couldn't ignore. Rachel felt him but didn't pry, partially because she didn't want to know and partially because her own mind was ready to explode and she didn't want her thoughts to accidentally slip into hers. The freezer closed by itself, concealing the ice cream again and the bell rang.

Rachel took a deep breath and although she didn't have to, she walked up and opened the door.

"Hi, James."

Rachel could have stopped it, but she didn't. Even as she saw it coming, she was surprised. Normally, she had to kiss him. He'd never...

Rachel took a small step forward and her fingers found James' and curled around them.

This isn't starting over, she reminded him, but she didn't care. It wasn't like they could erase everything anyway.

I think I love you, she thought to him, her eyes set firmly on him. I probably shouldn't, and I probably shouldn't tell you, but I think I do.

"I love you," he said. He was unsure of how much she would be willing to listen in his mind, and he didn't want her to miss that. He raised a hand to stroke her hair. "We don't have to.. I don't want us to pretend everything is the same. And we don't have to move fast, or even be together if you don't want. I want to be with you, but obviously you have a part in that decision, too. But I want you to know that no matter what you decide, I love you."

It felt so strange and new to hear him say it out loud and she smiled even though she didn't want to. "I love you," she whispered again, just to hear how it sounded coming out of her own mouth.

She leaned forward, kissing him again, softly. She missed how it felt being on good terms with him, being around him.

"I want to be together," she said. "But let's do it the right way this time."

He smiled when she said it, kissing her again. He was so happy, so relieved, to hear it from her lips. He wrapped her arms around her, pulling her into a hug. It was good, being with her. He was glad it wasn't over.

He nodded. "The right way," he repeated. It already felt different from before. It was as if a strong wind had blown away a fog that had been surrounding his feelings for her. He felt more clearly a strong pull toward her, but not the same clinging neediness that had been before. It wasn't just that he needed someone to hold on.. It was that he wanted Rachel. He loved her. He wasn't sure how to describe what he'd felt before, but he knew what this was. He smiled to her.
