It's Over, Isn't It? (Scott Summers x Reader)
Request: 8 with Scott Summers
#8: “I have lost so much, and I don’t want to lose you, too.”
Here you go @silverwingedfox! So, I might write a part two to this, but I can’t promise the reader will end up with Scott. I hope you like this! Any questions or criticisms? Message me!
It started happening after his brother went missing. Before the incident, Scott had spent hours with you, sometimes never saying a thing. He had adored and cherished you, begging you to stay with him when you claimed you needed to return home. Most times, you couldn’t resist his pout, and you would crawl back into his arms, muttering that your parents would be fine with it. The both of you were nearly inseparable, constantly holding hands and expressing your love to him in public.
That all changed the moment Alex went missing, presumed dead. He had set of an explosion through the use of his energy, and his body was never recovered. You watched the light drain from Scott’s face when he was told of his brother’s death, and it had shattered your heart to see him lose so much.
You just didn’t expect it to change your relationship with him as much as it did.
It started when he began cancelling dates between the two of you. You hadn’t thought about it much, believing it to have something to do with his work with Xavier’s School. You didn’t quite understand it, especially when you were without any powers, but you didn’t want to stress him out by asking.
However, when he forgot your one year anniversary, you couldn’t convince yourself to forgive him. You took the walk to the school, a bag thrown over your shoulder. Large headphones covered your ears as you switched up the volume on your music, flinching when it became much too loud. As you turned it down, you approached a grand home that reminded you of the places your mother used to speak of.
There were quite a few teenagers running around, and you watched with amazement as one flew into the air, glorious wings made of metal holding him in the sky. Staring at him, you didn’t notice that some of them had stopped to look at you.
“Can we help you?” A girl asked, her eyes narrowed slightly. A bright yellow coat hung off her shoulders as she popped her gum, looking you over.
“U-uhm, sorry. I’m looking for Scott Summers. I’m his girlfriend,” you said. Your headphones hung around your neck, your music almost silent.
“Girlfriend?” A silver-haired boy asked as he sped toward you, a blur that made you stumble back, “He’s never told us about any girlfriend. Thought he was with Jean.”
Confused, you furrowed your brow at him. You said, “I’m his girlfriend. H-he never talked about me?”
They shook their heads, and you felt your shoulders fall. Why wouldn’t he talk about you? Was he ashamed of you?
“Uhm, he’s around the back. I’ll take you to see him,” the girl with the yellow coat said. They were all looking at you with sad eyes, and you quickly followed her away from them. You kept your head down, suddenly self-conscious about being here.
“So, you’re Scott’s girlfriend. Are you a mutant?” She asked.
You shook your head, and her eyes widened. After a pause, she said, “Really?’
“We go to the same school.” You lowered your eyes to your hands, shifting slightly.
She nodded and said nothing else, leading you toward a field. Someone giggled, and you looked up, your eyes settling on a couple underneath the tree. You felt your stomach twist when you realized it was Scoot sitting with a pretty red-head, smiling at her. This must be Jean.
God, she was beautiful. With her long red hair and her gorgeous face, she could easily enchant anyone she wished. But it just happened to be your boyfriend that she had ensnared.
“Hey, Scott!” Jubilee yelled.
Your heart skipped when both of them turned toward her, and you watched Scott’s smile falter. He moved to stand, approaching you, and you immediately stepped back.
“Why didn’t you tell us you had a girlfriend, Scott?” The silver-haired boy was beside you, eyes wide. You nearly fell over from seeing him, your heart racing. “Especially with how cute she is!”
You turned red at his comment, but you couldn’t meet Scott’s stare. Of course he was seeing someone else. Why would he date you when he had someone as beautiful as Jean?
“I’m going home. I’ll see you later, Scott. Have fun with your friends,” you whispered, blinking away the tears in your eyes. You turned away from him, biting back the tears in your eyes.
“Just leave me alone, Scott. Obviously you don’t care enough about me to actually come by and say hello, even on our anniversary. I guess I should’ve known. I’m a human. My life is so different from yours. It would’ve never worked out. I guess you’ll be going to school here now, so see you whenever,” you said as you walked off.
“Shit, man. Well, it was nice getting to know you!” The silver-haired boy yelled.
“Shut up, Peter,” Scott growled.
You were curled up in your bed, a book in your lap and your eyes blurring with tears. It was over a week later, and you hated how much you had cried. Your mother had always told you to never cry over a man, and here you were going against her words. You fell back against the pillows and closed your eyes, breathing through your nose.
“Y/N!” A voice called from outside your window, and you stood, approaching it. You should’ve known Scott was going to be the one who yelled for you, yet you hadn’t stopped yourself from answering him.
“What do you want, Scott?”
“Y/N, I love you! Please, don’t end this relationship! I…I’m sorry that I’ve ignored you and made you feel like you weren’t worthy of me! You are! God, you mean so much to me! I’m sorry about Jean, and I’m sorry about forgetting our anniversary. Please, don’t do this! I have lost so much, and I don’t want to lose you, too.”
Guilt flooded your senses, and you turned away from the window, struggling to catch your breath. What would you do? You were still upset at him, and you knew you wouldn’t forgive him so easily. But a part of you still loved him more than anything. What were you going to do?
You faced the window once more and threw them open, staring down at him. He looked so sad, so broken, and you sighed.
