Summery: [livejournal.com profile] 30_kisses challenge #14: radio-cassette player. Jubilee lets Jono know there’s more than one way to kiss, even if he doesn’t have a mouth.
Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with the X-men or Generation X, it's not my toy box and I'm merely playing. I don’t own anything to do with the title, which I borrowed from a Kenny Chesney song. I also don’t own anything to do with Iron Chef, Star Trek or the song ‘Mary’ by the Scissor Sisters.
A/N: Jono speaks by projecting so his words will be in '' to represent that. The title of this piece is ‘Never Wanted Nothing More’ but each chapter also has a title.


A Quick Kissing Lesson Brought to You by Jubilee:

Jono hovered in the doorway to the basement. He leaned his head against the frame as he told himself that he couldn't avoid Ang. They'd see each other in training sooner or later. He touched the bandages that hid the flames that occupied the space where his mouth used to be and remembered how just two days ago he had felt his lips again, how he had felt them pressed against Ang's.

What they'd done was stupid. They shouldn't have worked on using his powers without Emma there. If there was one thing Jono was sure of, it was that his powers could easily hurt another.

Yet nothing had happened except a kiss.

He wanted it again, but knew he shouldn't even attempt it. He couldn't risk hurting Ang. Intent on finding his friend he left the sanctuary of the basement, crossed through the kitchen and began to look for him.

He found Jubilee in the living room. She was sprawled on the couch, a cassette player over her ears, a magazine on her lap and the T.V. on. She tapped a foot against the coffee table to the beat of her music as she idly turned the page of her magazine.

'Have you seen Ang?' he asked.

She tilted her head towards him and popped her gum before she told him, "Ya know that’s one bad thing about you talking in my head is I can’t even pretend I don’t hear you."

She threw him a grin and lowered her headphones as she turned her music off. She tossed her magazine on the coffee table as she pulled up the menu on the T.V. She frowned at it a moment before she offered, "Iron Chef?"

He raised an annoyed eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest.

"He's like getting his driver’s license so you’re like gonna have to wait."

He dropped down onto the couch beside her as she changed the channel. She offered him the magazine as she stuffed the remote under the pillow nearest to her. He couldn't help himself, his eyes crinkled together into a smile. Her antics were just too much sometimes.

She popped her gum again and asked, "So are you like gonna get with Ang or Paige?"

He blinked.

She sat on him before her could bolt and gave him a toothy grin.

"Course you came in here looking for Ang so..."

'Doesn't matter, does it? I couldn't kiss either one of them.'

She moved off of him as she rolled her eyes, "Now you're like just being stupid. Please, tell me that the stupidity doesn't come with age, cause all of you are like weird."

'We're mutants,' he pointed out, of course they were weird.

She rolled her eyes again, "That not what I meant and you're stupid if you’re going to let your lack of a mouth keep you from dating. I'm also sure you could think of other ways to kiss that don't involve, like well lips."

‘None', he lied.

"You know you project just a bit of emotion in with your words so like lying, so not gonna work. Eskimo kisses," she told him as she bounced to face him.

'With your nose?'

"Yep, and what about butterfly kisses?"

He gave her a confused look.

"With your eyelashes silly!"

He wrinkled his nose, that just sounded stupid.

"You could always try Vulcan kisses."

'That I don't understand either.'

"With your fingers," she explained, "like on Star Trek."

Oh, wait. 'You watch Star Trek?'

"How much time did I spend at the mansion with the X-men?" she reminded, “Blue was so into Star Trek and I spent like so much time with Drake that well I was bound to just be exposed to it. Geeks! The both of them!"

Her grin was infectious and he allowed himself to share it.

"So see you can kiss, you just have to like do it differently than the rest of us. You just don't get to be boring."

'Somehow I knew there was going to be a 'when I was with the X-men story' in there
somewhere,' he told her.

She glittered another grin at him then whipped her head around as they both heard the front door open. She bound off the couch as she demanded, "Did you get it? How hard was the test? Did you pass, well like did you?"

Jono shook his head, some days he was surprised that having that much energy wasn’t her mutant power. He slipped his hand under the pillow and stole the remote while she was distracted. Distantly he heard Ang and Jubilee talking, mixed with the occasional comment from Sean. He began to move his way through the channels as he let Jubilee's suggestions cement in his mind. Leave it to her to find ways for him to kiss Ang.

After a quick kissed to his forehead Ang dropped down beside him, swinging his own legs over his. Jono looked down at the legs draped over his and poked them. Then he gave Ang his version of a smile.

"You over being freaked out?"

He nodded.

"Good," Ang grinned before he began to brag about his new ability to legally drive.
