[Scott visibly shudders when their hands meet, his fingers slowly wrapping around hers as the lump in his throat hardens. She... she is here, right? This is so familiar, them holding hands. He can't possibly mistake it even now.]
You're... you're really here.
[Sorry Jean, he's not quite in the right mindset to answer your questions. Far too fixated on having her close, warm and feeling so real. He lets his mind be open, like he's trying to reach her. Unlike all those years ago, he's completely okay with her reading his mind now. He just wants to feel her in that way once more. Scott thinks he can feel her presence there, mentally grasping for her in a way that feels a little desperate. Maybe even clingy.]
You came back. [His lips start to tremble. He doesn't care who else is around them in the distance, if they're out in public. All that matters is the woman in front of him. He doesn't even try to hold back those feelings, the way his vision starts to become blurry.] Like you promised.
[He's never fully composed when he's around her. Never just Cyclops, now official leader off the X-Men, but Scott around her. He's been hers since they bumped into each other almost a decade ago. Maybe he should wonder about the logistics more, why this is happening, but he can't. He doesn't want to let go of her again.]
