Mystique took a deep breath and closed her eyes as he held her, taking in his scent, the feel of his strong arms around her. "How do I know that's not a false promise right there? Y'know, this is all my fault anyway. I pushed you to it. When I'm telling you it's okay to sleep with me in different skins, where's the line? Do you want to hear some irony?" She mumbled, her face she buried in his shirt. "Do you want to know how much I loved you? If you'd asked for her to ... join us ... I would've agreed, to make you happy. I would've done anything to make you happy. And that's why this is my own fault, I gave you no boundaries,"

Logan's grip on Mystique tightened when she kept talking, telling him all those things she'd do for him, to keep him happy, and he'd thrown it outta the window. Eventually, he breathed in deeply in an attempt to clear his mind. It didn't help though. Her scent filled his head. "..Yknow, you can be damn sure I know the boundaries now." He told her in a low mumble. "But hell, don't blame yourself, Blue. I love you for everything you did or didn't do."

Mystique sighed and pulled back enough to meet his gaze. "Now, I'm not suggesting I will, but if I ever did give you another chance," She paused, while the knot in her chest was screaming at her, telling her of course she was going to give him a chance, of course she was! She pushed the voice away. "If I ever did, the boundaries would be stricter, no more morphing into supermodels, or action chicks, no asking people to join us, and no sleeping with other woman,"

Logan had kinda guessed the last. The rest however.. hell, it only stressed the point that he'd been a fucking idiot to sleep 'round when he had a shapeshifter in his bed, willing to look like any fantasy woman he could come up with. Even if she'd ever forgive him, he wouldn't get that back. He resisted the urge to ask whether the rules were different on special occasions.. like anniversaries.. or.. christmas.. or.. every alternate sunday? He had a feeling that if he dared to ask, he could forget about getting another chance at all. So instead.. he gave her a nod. His hand ran over her back, his fingertips briefly brushing the skin of her neck as he moved his hand to cup her face. "Got it," He assured her, "All I want is another chance."

Mystique kept her eyes on him for a long time, weighting the pros and cons in her mind. She was silent for a good few minutes before she finally gave him the slightest nod. "Okay, you've got it ... now who's the fucking idiot?"

Logan looked into Mystique's eyes, her words slowly sinking in. His hand moved to the back of her neck again, but he never broke eyecontact. His heart was back to crazy rate pounding so loud even she would hear it. "...You're serious, right? You're not gonna punch me in a second." He said. Then again.. he was willing to take the risk. With one arm still around her, and the other hand in her neck, he closed the gap between them and kissed her.

Mystique let out another quiet laugh when he made the comment about being punched again. She kissed him back for a moment, but broke it before it grew too deep. She looked into his eyes again. "I'm still gonna need time. I still need to get to a place where I don't see her everytime I look at you,"

Logan looked back into Mystique's eyes and gave her a slight nod. "You got it." He said. He'd been dead serious when he said he'd do anything to fix them, giving her time was the least he could do. So he resisted the urge to kiss her like there was no tomorrow. 'Stead, he brushed a lock of hair away from her face and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I swear I won't screw up," He mumbled against her skin, before he pulled back and their eyes met again.

"We'll see about that," Mystique mumbled, determined not to get her hopes up and end up getting her heart broken again. "I'm going to bed now," She told him, he could take that anyway he liked. "Tuck Luce in for me and tell her I love her," She mumbled, before she slipped out of his arms and walked into the bedroom to get ready and dressed to sleep, wondering already if she'd made a massive mistake.

"Kay. Night." Logan told her, watching her go. He'd kill just to sleep next to her tonight - knowing that if he stayed in the room across the hall he'd be awake all night hearing her Mystique-sleeping-noises from her room. But.. he said he'd give her time, and he was determined to show her she could trust him, believe him when he said he'd keep his promises. So keeping that one was a good first step. Which meant letting her decide the pace. Not exactly something he let a girl do very often - but heck, there was a first time for everything. So after she disappeared from his sight, he walked back to the door and shut it behind him, heading down the hall to tell Lucy it was time for bed.
