She's Gone, But We're Here (Cassidy)

[Scott Summers/Cyclops]

(ooc: February 4th. Evening.)

Scott was sitting on the fountain drinking straight from a bottle.

"I can't believe I lost you Jean. I'd give up my sight again to have you back." said Scott.

He was crying now as tears fell down his face. He tried to stand up only to fall into the fountain dropping the bottle which didn't shatter but did pour out into the fountain. He sighed picking up the empty bottle and was suprised to see a hand pull him out of the fountain.

"Uh thanks." said Scott.

He paused shivering not realizing how cold it was. Then Mystique took off his shoes and socks. Then he felt his shirt get pulled off seeing Cassidy there.

"What's going on?" asked Scott.

Suddenly he was naked and blushing before Mystique had made a toga out of towels which also helped make him dry faster.

"Why are you helping me?" asked Scott.

Hearing her words he was speechless. And knew if this a trick or a dream he'd worry about it tomorrow. And he leaned forward kissing them both.

"Ok. We can try it. Hopefully, this isn't a dream. I've lost Jean. I don't want to lose anyone else." said Scott.

Mystique had heard of the news of Jean Grey's death and had come to check on Scott. Seeing him drinking and falling into the fountain she rushed forward helping him. Then ripped off his socks and shoes. She smiled glad Cassidy had managed to make it. She paused yanking Scott's jeans and underwear off leaving him completely naked for a moment before wrapping a towel around him like a makeshift toga. She heard him and smiled.

"Because I've been in love with the both of you for a while now. And you're not dying on me before we go on a date." said Mystique.

She paused grinning at Cassidy.

"Hope you don't mind dating both of us? I was originally going to ask you out separately and hope to get one of you. But I want both of you or nothing." said Mystique.

[Cassidy]

Cassidy had become real close friends with Scott, falling for him. But he felt conflicted due to also having feelings for Mystique. Cassidy had been in polyamorous relationships before. But they usually ended in tragedy or he was dumped in the crosskirts. He had no problem being in polyamorous relationships at all but he never found it possible in this state. So when Mystique told him Scott was hurt, he only focused on helping out. Cassidy raced over, seeing Scott naked. A sight that shouldn't of aroused him but it did. He knew Scott struggled with the loss of Jean and Cassidy wanted to help in any way he could. He replied softly "Your guess is as good as mine, mate. I just heard you were in trouble and came to help" Then Mystique explained his confusion away by admitting she had feelings for both men. That she wanted them both. That she had no problem doing it. Cassidy might as well died and went to heaven. This was the literal perfect opportunity.

So, he went to Mystique first, giving her a quick but excited kiss "Love, you have no idea how happy ya made me. I might as well be shitting rainbows" Cassidy kissed her again, admitting "I've been having feelings for ya both. Just never had the balls to say something. Now I won't waste time anymore" He squeezed her hand before allowing Scott to kiss him. Cassidy softened his gaze, aware Scott was happy to try but still felt grief. Cassidy pulled Scott close, shushing him "I know, love. I know you lost her. But you have me and Mystique now" Cassidy kissed him deeply, wrapping his arms around him "And we can take care of ye, all you have to do is say yes"

Scott grinned as they helped him. He'd even enjoyed kissing them both.

"Thank you guys. I needed this. Probably should dry my clothes though." replied Scott.

Scott blushed at Mystique's words.

"You're right. And maybe get some coffee." said Scott.

Scott watches as she gives them orders before leaving to get food.

"She can be bossy can't she?" teased Scott, once then were alone.

He grabbed his wet clothes and began slowly walking back to his room. He started stumbling as he nearly fell but got caught by Cassidy.

"Thanks for catching me." said Scott.

He began heading to his room more slowly to get a change of clothes.

Mystique chuckled.

"Probably should get you a change of clothes too. As appealing as it is to see you in this, they might fall off. And no one else deserves a free show." said Mystique.

She turned to Cassidy.

"I'll get some coffee and snacks from the kitchen. You want to see him back to his room and we could meet back here in about 10 minutes?" said Mystique.

She took the empty bottle and threw it away in a trash can. Then walked out, leaving the two men alone to get them coffee and some food.
