I wish you wouldn’t put yourself down so much. You can talk about what’s bothering you or what you need and it doesn’t make you a baby. Even if it gets weird you’re still the person I want to talk to above anyone else.
It would have taken a lot for it to happen when we were adults—we both had so much baggage. But if I'd joined the X-Men instead of the Avengers when we were younger? I think it could have happened.
Because I was less set in my ways then, and I was lonely. I probably would have tried to seduce you like I did here, only more much awkwardly and angrily.
I’ve been set in my ways since I was, oh I don’t know, thirteen. But back then I was more open to feelings. I was better at talking about them. Back then I even flirted, so maybe it could have happened. I’ve been trying to figure out if it could have happened too, especially knowing what we know now. Especially since we’re so like who we were then. Fundamentally.
To be honest, I probably also would've gone for you because you'd have been the choice to most piss off Magneto. But it's nice to think that it might've worked out in the end.
So, I'd be angry and prickly, and you'd be gritting your teeth and trying to be unrelentingly friendly, and I'd be so desperate that would be good enough for me, and I'd attack your mouth. That all sounds about right.

Re: Sam
Yes. Every time you talk about your feelings. You might hate having feelings more than I do.
Re: Sam
Re: Sam
Well, I pay extraordinarily close attention to you.
Re: Sam
Re: Sam
I love that.
Re: Sam
Re: Sam
I love you too. More than I did yesterday.
Re: Sam
Re: Sam
Must be! A process of liking you more every day until we ended up here.

Re: Sam
What do you think? Talk me through it.
Re: Sam
Re: Sam
Really? Why then? How do you think it would happen?

Re: Sam
I just keep thinking how much Charles would want me to make sure you felt comfortable and part of the family/team. So, the other side of that coin.

Re: Sam
I can see that eventually working out for us. I hope that’s happening somewhere in the multiverse.

Re: Sam
That makes me emotional.
Re: Sam
Re: Sam
That's lucky, because I have a lot of them.
