Hello! Again, Summer is still on, but as I was looking for musical inspiration to my hot X-Men fic, I found "My Beloved Monster" by Eels and it just was so cute and perfect, I couldn't resist. So, alas, another Logan/Kurt fic—a songfic this time, pure and sweet.

This is a bit of a sequel to Point of No Return.

Enjoy!

MY BELOVED MONSTER

Kurt reached out for Logan's hand as they walked around the grounds at the Xavier Institute. Kurt was love-struck by the gruff man, and Logan was equally in love, though far less obvious about it. However, if one looked closely, they could see the spark in Logan's eye when he looked at the fuzzy blue teenager.

My beloved monster and me

We go everywhere together

Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves

Gets us through all kinds of weather

The two had had to hide their love, at first, because Logan was a professor and Kurt was a student. As soon as Kurt had graduated high school, however, he'd never left Logan's side as long as he could avoid it. He was openly affectionate. It wasn't overly surprising when the two announced their love, for the X-Men all knew Kurt was gay (had known before Kurt had). Logan had been a bit more shocking, but they were quickly accepted (partly for fear of getting limbs hacked off).

[He] will always be the only thing

That comes between me and the awful sting

That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean

Being a mutant, having to hide all the time, was a hard way to live, especially for a boy like Kurt. Blue, fuzzy, flamboyant, gay. Logan protected Kurt in every way possible. He defended his lover from physical attacks, and reassured him when he felt blue [pun totally intended].

And, in a way, Kurt protected Logan as well. Kurt provided Logan with a much-needed heart to share. Over the hundred-sum years Logan had lived, he had never felt very close to very many people. He'd been a loner, by nature and by circumstance. But when he'd met Kurt, his little elf…something in his heart had softened, just a little bit. The more Logan spent time around the teen, the less…frightening…he seemed. And that first time together…well, neither had ever been the same.

My beloved monster is tough

If [he] wants [he] will disrobe you

But if you lay [him] down for a kiss

[His] little heart, it could explode

The two had a lot of hard battles ahead of them. Fighting for their right to live, and fighting for their right to live together. Fighting on the battlefield and in the courtroom.

But as long as they had each other, they knew they could overcome any hurdle.

[He] will always be the only thing

That comes between me and the awful sting

That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean
