Summary: When Jean divorces Scott, he sinks into despairs and depression. Remy doesn't like what he seeing steps in and helps Scott realize that his life doesn't have to end and that he can love again.

Lying slumped on his bed Scott Summers, otherwise known as Cyclops the team leader of the X-Men, didn't feel all that great, he had received the final notice that his and Jean's divorce was finalized, he was now a free man but he didn't what to be free, he wanted to still be married to the woman he had loved since he was a teenager, now it was all over, he wanted to hate her but he couldn't, he knew that Jean was going to marry Peter Shaw once the divorce was finalized, he was one of the newest members to the team. He once feared that Jean would leave him for Wolverine but that fear was unfounded when Logan started going out with Bobby Drake, he never thought that she would go to another X-man. It was the last thing on his mind once he found out that Wolverine was finally out of arms reach to finding out that his wife of four years had been seeing Peter Shaw for the last six months. Since receiving the divorce papers Scott had hidden in his room, he didn't want to see the others pity him or tell him that everything would be fine, as far as he was concerned his life was never going to be fine ever again.

Remy LeBeau stared at his long time friend Storm, he was worried and gone to Storm for advice, "Stormy I'm worried about Scott, he's been hiding in his room since Jean left him." Remy never told anyone of his feelings for the older man, he knew that Scott was as straight as they came and married so he settled for being the man's friend instead, he shoved his feelings for the man aside but they all came flooding back with vengeance when Jean walked away from their five year marriage for Peter Shaw, he wanted to hurt her for hurting Scott the way she did but he knew that Scott wouldn't want her to be hurt by anyone the only way the team could get back at her was to ignore her but Remy didn't feel that it was enough but he didn't want to risk losing Scott as a friend so he didn't join the ranks of people who stopped talking to her.

Storm smiled at her worried friend she to was worried about Scott but she had seen him hide away before and then come out as if nothing had happen she knew that in time Scott would emerge again as if nothing happened when he was ready, "Remy give him time, he'll come out when he ready."

Remy shook his head, he knew how Scott felt, he had been through what Scott was going through when Bella had divorced him and remarried a fellow Assassin. Remy had thrown himself into drinking and despair, "Non dis ain't right, Scotty needs someone to talk to, he needs his friends to rally around him not to let him brood."

Stormed sighed when Remy left her and went to Scott's room, once she was sure that her brother was out of hearing ranged she asked, "Remy when are you going to admit that you love him?"

Tiredly Scott groaned when he heard someone banging on his door, he tried ignoring it but whoever it was, was determine to talk to him whether he wanted to or not.

Remy continued to knock on Scott's door when he didn't get an answer he called out, "Scotty cher I know you're in dere, get your butt into gear and open dis door before I kick it in." Remy snickered when he heard Scott cursing at him, "I ain't going nowhere cher till you open dis door."

Scott yelled, "Leave me alone Gambit."

"Non, I'm not leaving till you've opened this door."

"Fuck off and leave me the fuck alone."

"Non, I'm not leaving you alone when you're hurting like dis Scotty."

Remy allowed a small smile light his face, he knew he had won, he only allowed Scott and Logan to called him Rem, they were his friends and stood by him when the team discovered his past dealings with Sinister and he trusted them and Storm with his life.

Scott stumbled to the door twisting the lock and slowly opened the door to let Remy in.

Leaning against the door framed Scott glared at the taller man when he caught the twinkle in his red on black eyes as he entered, Closing the door Scott snapped, "What do you what Rem?"

"What Remy what is for you to lose dis mood you're in."

Scott snarled, "Sorry no can do, if that is all you can leave."

Shaking his head Remy smiled as he said, "Non don't dink so. You need a friend so here I am."

Sighing wearily Scott said, "Thanks but no thanks I will deal with this my own way."

"Your way ain't working cher, hiding out in your room ain't a way to deal with dis."

"What the fuck do you know about this?"

Remy ignored Scott anger and quietly replied, "More than you know."

"You don't know what I'm going through."

"Oui I do, be there and done that cher. Remy been where you are, only he was so drunk he didn't know what was going on. I buried my pain in a bottle."

Stunned Scott wasn't sure how to answer, he sunk onto his bed next to Remy as Remy fiddled with the end of his belt.

"How did you get your life back together?"

Gambit smiled as he said, "I didn't till I meet a very stubborn man, who later became one of my best friends."

"Who one of the stubbornness men you've ever met?"

"Besides you, you mean?" At Remy's nod Scott carried on, "That would be Logan."

"Got it in one. Logan helped me get my life back on track."

"About my failed marriage? Yeah he knows, he even knows her did some business with Bella Donna."

Scott gulped when he noticed sadness flicker over the younger man's eyes and face. Looking out the window he asked, "You loved her didn't you?"

Chewing on his inside cheek wondering what he should tell his friend, then said, "Oui I did, but not as much as I love another." Remy knew that would make Scott curious.

Surprised Scott debated whether he should ask who and smiled when he thought, 'Why not he wouldn't have drop a huge hint like that if he didn't want me to ask.' Scott stared at one of his best friends and asked, "Who is it?"

Remy smile grew as he replied, "I can't tell you dat Scotty."

Frowning Scott replied, "You can't give me a hint like that and leave me hanging."

Remy smiled at him as he said, "Oh but I can."

Not wanting to let the matter drop Scott rubbed his chin as he tried to guess who his friend had feelings for, "Mmm lets see, I know it's not Rouge, Bets? Nah you can't stand her, Oh I know Storm?" Scott looked questionably at Remy who just smiled at him then began laughing.

Remy nearly fell off the bed laughing at Scott's suggestions seeing his friends shocked expression he tried to get his laughter back in control.

In a slight tone Scott said, "I didn't think it was that funny."

Remy chuckled, "Sorry Scotty I didn't mean to laugh, it's just the idea of me and Stormy being lovers would be like incest to me, Stormy like a sister to me, and me and Bets? What were you thinking? I can't stand that woman. And last but not least what makes you think that it's an X-man? Or for that matter a woman?"

Scott cocked his head as he looked at Remy saying, "I know it's someone here at the mansion."

Curious at how Scott knew for sure it was someone from team asked, "How dat moi ami?"

"You haven't gone out on a date or to a party since coming back, so it stands to reason that it's someone here at the mansion."

Remy was surprised that Scott even noticed what he was doing, while his own life was being turned upside down.

Looking thoughtfully at the younger man Scott wondered who it could be he knew for sure it was someone from the team but who running through the list and striking off the people he knew it wasn't and was left with five other people including himself, Hank, Charles, Adam, Jessie and Vera who were new to the team and himself and for some reason he couldn't figure out he stuck their names off the list till only his name remained, looking over at his friend wondering, 'Is it possible that he loves me?' Scott felt the feeling he had pushed deep within himself emerge again as he sorted through his turbulence thoughts.

Remy remained silent as Scott stared at him cringing when Scott asked, "It's me isn't it?"

Remy just looked out the window as he said, "Oui, me sorry for bringing this up now, it's the last thing you need to hear."

Moving closer to his friend he whispered, "Give me sometime Rem's to get though this."

Surprised Remy asked, "You like me?"

"Stupid Cajun I like you more than like, just give me time."

Remy grinned as he replied, "Remy can give you that Scotty all the time you want."

Wrapping his arms about the slim Cajun saying, "It won't be long Rem." Scott laid a kiss on top of Remy's head.

With a sigh Remy lounged against the window of his room debating whether to climb out and have a smoke in his thinking spot.

It had been a long month he had attendant Jean's wedding along with the other X-Men, the only one missing had be Scott who had taken a month sabbatical to clear his head, he was going to go to his cabin in the mountains, during that time Remy had missed him if it wasn't for Logan and Bobby he would have gone crazy.

Twisting a strand of hair through his fingers as he whispered, "Scotty when are you coming home?"

Enjoying the breeze as it flew through his hair Scott Summer smiled as he drove back to Westchester and his beloved, during his month away he had come to realize where his heart belong once he knew what he felt towards the Cajun he felt a weight fall away from his shoulders, he was looking forward to starting his life with Remy.

Pulling up in front of the gates of the mansion Scott smiled as he made out the form of Remy leaning against his window, Scott threw the car into gear and drove up and park jumping out of the car he raced into the house and up the stairs ignoring everyone he passed, once he got to where he wanted to be he didn't even bother knocking on the door he threw open the door and stroll in saying, "Honey I'm home."

Wearing a huge grin Remy rushed over to Scott saying, "Scotty you're home. Missed you." Then threw himself into Scott's out stretch arms.

Breathing in Remy's scent as he said, "I missed you as well."

Remy tilted his head back till he could see Scott's face saying, "You home for good?"

Scott nodded as he brushed his lips across Remy's.

Remy sighed as he deepen the kiss flicking his tongue across Scott's seeking permission to enter

Scott opened his mouth and moaned when Remy's tongue entered his mouth he could taste Remy as his tongue stroked over his own tongue Scott began to lightly stuck on Remy's tongue smiling when he heard Remy moan deeply. Reluctantly they pulled apart panting heavily Scott rested his head onto Remy's shoulder as he tried to draw some air into his lungs.

"Yeah wow." Scott snuggled into Remy's neck, placing tiny kisses he could hear Remy breathing hint as he nibbled along the collar bone. Pausing in his ministrations to say, "Remy this is for forever. You're mine from this day forth." With saying that Scott went back to nibbling on Remy's collar bone and neck.

Remy panted, "Cher de bed."

Pulling back slightly Scott took in the flush look of his lover as he asked, "Are you sure?"

Remy reached for one of Scott's hand and laid it over his harden member saying, "Yes Cher."

Giving Remy's cock a squeeze before removing his hand and took his lover arm to lead him over to the bed.

Remy kicked off his shoe and begun to unbutton his shirt when Scott pulled his hand away looking at Scott confused.

Scott removed Remy's hand from his shirt leaning in to kiss the younger man saying, "Please let me."

Dropping his hands to his sides Remy watched through lust heavy lids whimpering as Scott flicked his cloth covered nipples.

Flicking open the buttons on Remy shirt and sliding off and tossing it onto the floor letting his eyes roam over the naked chest in wonder the lightly traced the three scars that ran diagonally from Remy's stomach to hip that was left behind after Creed had attacked him during the Morlocks massacre.

Remy tried not to flinch when Scott traced the scars closing his eyes as he tried not to let the memories overwhelm him. . .

~You should have followed the rules runt, now I hava to hurt ya again.~

Shaking his head to get rid of the memories, Remy pulled Scott up so he could claim the older man lips, pulling back smiling when the older man groaned in disappointment he whispered into Scott's ear, "Want you Scotty."

Looking down at the younger man he asked, "You sure?"

Remy thrusted his hips up and asked, "Does this feel like I don't Cher?"

Grounding his groin again Remy's Scott groaned, "No."
