Bobby Drake X Fire Mutant! Reader (X-Men)

He always felt cold. No matter what he tried to do, either covering himself in blankets or wearing multiple sweaters he never felt warmth. He got used to it after a few years and before he knew it, it became a part of him. After he got over it, it ceaseto bother him. It was normal, to him.


You however, always felt the intolerable nipping of heat. It bothered you constantly, you were always hot. It pissed you off. At times you felt dizzy because of it. It pricked at your skin. You didn't mind the flames though. They always felt... warm. Never hot or burning. It was calm, it was nice. 


You were the opposite of Bobby, literally. So you were surprsied when he made his way over to you, flustered and stuttering, he asked you out. You were reluctant. I mean... What if you melted this kid? But you ended up agreeing and you don't think you had ever seen someone so happy.


The next Saturday he snuck you out of the school and the two of you went into town. At first you both were content with just walking around but, when you both saw a movie that you had seen a week prior you both went in. 


After watching the movie the two of you excited the cinema. Your hand had gently scraped over his as the two of you talked about the movie. You didn't notice but he sure did. After a while he had gone silent and would occasionly glance at your hand.


"Bobby? Is something wrong?" You asked curiously. "Are you not feeling well? We can go back to the school if you want-"


"No! I'm fine! Really I am!" He said quickly, looking away. You smiled, shrugging, but continued to walk around. It wasn't until you realized that he was staring at your hand did you hit yourself mentally. He wanted to hold your hand. You wondered if you should. What if you burnt him? Or he gave you frost bite? Sighing, you pushed all those thoughts away and laced your fingers inbetween his. 


"If you wanted to hold hands you should have just said so" You hummed, smiling. He smiled back at you.


"Thank you (Name)" He said. You both froze when you felt the foreign feeling. You looked down at your hands intertwined. 


"I thought I would burn you but you're actually cooling me down" You said as you leaned further into him. He leaned into you as well.


"(Name), you're really warm" He sighed in content.


Opposites do attract.
