“Thank you and goodnight!” Cyclopes shouted into the microphone as confetti flew everywhere. They just finished their performance and were currently exciting off the stage to the back to freshen up. They were a Little Rock n Roll band called that “X-Men” that started to get a LOT of attention recently, so they decided to go on tour.
“That was so AWESOME!” Jubilee jumped up and down, shaking Nightcrawler with excitement.
“Ja! Definitely one of our best shows yet!” They both squealed together hugging and laughing as everyone else, drained from the show. Attempted to cool themselves down.
“Whew, I’m sweating like CRAZY.” Morph said as they wiped their forehead with a towel. They were the drummer on the band so they always worked up a bit of a sweat after every show.
“Hey guys, you were great.” Jean said as she walked over to Scott, kissing his cheek. His arm immediately wrapping around the red heads waist.
“Thanks, Jean. Got any news that we should know about before we load up and hit the road?”
“Yes actually! Do, since you guys are kind of a big deal and you mostly stay in a group. I decided it would be best if I got you guys some bodyguards, so safe keeping.”
“Bodyguards? Gambit don’t need no one to protect him, well besides maybe you of course, Chéri.” He takes Rouges gloved hand, placing a kiss to the front of it with a wink.
“Mhm, alright. I’ll make sure to keep that in mind next time I decide to go save somebody, Cajun.” She rolls her eyes, swiping her hand back. A hint of red displayed on her cheeks as she walks backstage to go help a few of the others grab the instrumental equipment.
“I can see how this might be beneficial, but don’t you think it might be a hassle to drive 10 people around the world in an already cramped vehicle?” Storm asks, while leaning against one of the speaker’s.
“Make that 11 when Jubilee decided to let her little millionaire boyfriend tag along.” Morph chucked while elbowing nightcrawler who was laughing along with them.
“Hey! Roberto is causing no trouble and you know it! You’re the one who’s always causing a big mess whenever you decide it’s “party night”. We’re STILL cleaning up confetti from the last time!” She stopped her foot, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Yeah, yeah whatever. You gotta admit it was fun though.” They raised their hands in defense looking for anyone who decided to speak up and agree with them, no one did.
“Anyway, that’s one of the things I was just getting to. The boss got us TWO new vehicles so traveling will be a lot easier, and they have two bathrooms each, and five pullout beds. So, one bodyguard per car and then we’ll be splitting up into ground of two. Sound good everyone?”
“Yeah, that sounds great Jean. What would we do without you?” Cyclopes pecks her cheek softly, his red sun glasses falling off his face a little.
“Oh, it was nothing.” She laughed, gently shoving him away to spare the others from their cringy lovey-dovey display.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door that connected to their private trailer. Kurt opened the door with a smile. “Hey what’s-“ his eyes immediately widened as he saw two dudes standing in the doorway in suits. Both had serious, deadpan expression on their face.
“Oh, everyone. I’d like you to meet Colossus and Wolverine. They’re going to be your bodyguards while on tour.” She smiled while pointing to each individually as she introduced them.
“It is nice to meet you all.” Colossus said, a small smile appearing on his face. His thick Russian accent making it a little hard to understand what he had said. He was the taller of the two, standing at 6’6 with slicked back hair, and a muscular build.
“Yeah, nice to meet ya bub.” Wolverine said as he crossed his arms over his chest, he had a more stern expression plastered on his face and was definitely that smaller of the two. He seemed to be about 5’3, but still had quite the muscular build himself and seemed WAY more intimidating.
Morphs face flushed a little as he heard the laters deep voice. Was he Canadian? Damn, he looked hot. Wait! Stop, stop, this guys gonna be your BODYGUARD Kevin. Don’t make it gay!
“So, Colossus will be in bus one and Wolverine will be in bus 2. Split up into whatever groups you’d like but me and Scot will be on bus one, so only 2 more of you can fit on there. Whenever you decide call me and I’ll make sure to have your stuff moved it.” She smiles, giving Cyclopes a quick peck on the cheek before turning away out the trailer to go take care of whatever agent business she took care of for them.
“Geez, I feel bad for you buddy. You’re gonna be stuck with the sappiest love birds on the planet! Besides Rouge and Gambit of course.” Morph said to Colossus as they smirked, earning a light punch to the arm from Gambit.
“Fine, Gambit see how it is! What do you say Mon Ami, you and Gambit take the bus with the lovebirds?” He wraps an arm around her shoulder,rubbing his thumb against the fabric of her dark green shirt.
“Heh, in yer dreams swap rat! But, I wouldn’t mind bunking with Jean and Scot so I’ll take one for the team.”
“So that settles is, Cyclopes, Jean, Rouge, and Gambit can be in bus one with Colossus. And me, Jubilee, Morph, and nightcrawler will be in bus two with Wolverine.” Storm says placing her hand on Jubilee’s shoulder.
Everyone nodded agreeing and Cyclopes called up Jean to let her know they decided on a plan.
About an hour later, they all moved in their separate vehicles. Once they all got settled in, they were off riding down the road heard to their next concert.
“Okay me and Jubilee will bunk together and then you boys can decide who gets the single.”
“I call top bunk!” Jubilee screamed, giggling as she jumped onto the top bunk, rocking the whole back part of the car a little.
“Okay well me and Morph-“
“Hey! Kurt, my man….can I talk to you for a second?” They grabbed Nightcrawler’s arm pulling him to the side to talk.
“Ah!” He yelled as Morph pulled him to the side. “Uh, sure dude. What’s up?”
“So…..y’know that bodyguard Jean hired? So I think he’s like really hot like SUPER hot and I’d love to bunk with him so….please?”
“Um, sure dude yeah but um….do you really think that’s a good idea? Like I support but….idk he’s supposed to be like our bodyguard so-“
“I know I know but like….we could still hookup maybe?”
Kurt sighs rubbing his forehead. “Sure fine, knock yourself out dude just…don’t do that shit in here.” He walks back over to the group.
“I’m taking the single cause…idk I want it.” Kurt shrugs and walks over to the single, flipping himself down and practically passing out instantly.
“Great! Guess it’s me and you cowboy.” Moth smiles, gently shoving Wolverine’s arm. He didn’t move.
“Yeah, whatever you say bub.”

Morph owned their eyes slowly, looking over at the clock on the wall. It read 3:00am, it was almost morning.
They sighed looking up at the ceiling, running a hand through their black hair.
“I wonder what Wolverine doing….hey wolvie-“ they leaned over the side of their bunk bed to look down at him and noticed he wasn’t there. The bathroom does were empty so he wasn’t in there either.
Maybe he was outside?
They got out of bed, slipping some slippers on and stepped out of the van. Once they opened the door they saw Wolverine leaning against the side of it, smoking a blunt.
“Hey, buddy. Are you really smoking at this hour?” They chuckled, slapping him on the back.
“Yeah, got a problem with it?” He glared at them, smoke falling from his lips.
Damn that looks hot.
“Nah, well a little but not cause it’s you. I just don’t like smoking all that much.”
“Eh, fair enough. Want me to blow it out?”
“No, no! It’s okay, I appreciate the offer though.” Morph smiles, their face flushing a little. They appreciated his consideration.
“Hm….alright. Why are you up at this hour anyway?”
“Couldn’t sleep, you?”
“I don’t sleep, the whole point is to keep ya’ll safe.” He took another drag of his cigar and blew it out into the night sky.
“Plus it’s a full moon tonight.”
“Oh, it is isn’t it.” Morph looks up at the night sky, it looked quite nice.
“….so um….got a girl?”
“Geez, your forward huh?” He chuckles as he looks over at Morph.
“Nothing wrong with asking.” They hold their hand out. “Kevin Sydney, or Morph which you prefer.”
He firmly shakes their hand. “Logan, but call me Wolverine when I’m on the job.”
“Ooo, no surname. Mysterious bad boy vibe. I like it!” They chuckle, maybe it was because they hadn’t really dated somebody in a while (and they were sleep deprived) but they figured they might as well try their shot with Logan.
“Heh, you’re a funny guy.”
“Oh um, if you don’t mind I’d prefer if you’d use they them pronouns for me.” Okay, this could either go really good or REALLY bad.
“Oh, sure.” He looked over at Morph, he seemed chill about it.
“Cool…..you know you’re really hot right?”
Logan’s face reddened a little as he chuckled. “Take me to diner first, why don’t ya?”
“I was actually just about to get to that, I think we’re going to Tampa next. Maybe we could find some little restaurant or go to the beach for a little date? If you want to go course!” They nervously waved their hands up, they didn’t want him to feel pressured.
“Oh uh…sure why not.” Logan gave a little smile, shrugging. How long had it been since someone asked them on a date? And an attractive person at that.
“Cool…..can I get a goodnight kiss?” They smirked batting their eyelashes.
“Heh……why not.” He shrugged walking over to Morph.
“Wait, are you serious? I was joking-“ they felt Logan’s rough lips smash against theirs. The kiss was sloppy at first but Morph wrapped his arms around Logan’s shoulder while he wrapped his around Morphs waist. Morph slowly opened their mouth feeling Logan’s tongue tangle with theirs in a heated kiss. Once he pulled away, both of them were pretty short of breath.
“Wow um…..shit dude I didn’t think you could get any hotter honestly.” Morph chuckled, causing a small laugh to escape Logan’s lips.
“So….when are you gonna come back inside?”
“I’ll be back inside in a minute or two. You should go get some rest though, you ARE the drum player.” He grinned, placing a small kiss against Morphs neck.
“Mmm alright….well, good night Logan.” They said, kissing his cheek and stepping away. Walking back towards the van.
“G’night, Kevin.” He smiled as they walked back inside.
Morph got back up onto their bunk bed and looked up at the ceiling, they could still imagine the way Logan’s lips felt against theirs. They smiled as they turned over and closed their eyes drifting back off to sleep.
