... okay, now I want fic. Especially the first one would be amazing and there are so many ways to write it. Angsty, fluffy... Personally my first thought after I read this was in Logan's voice the sentence "He is the only one who ever really saw Scott's eyes. Too bad that Scott only ever saw Jean with his red glasses."
Or the second one. Maybe Logan is dead or in a coma and Scott reads them for him. Oh the heartbreak...

I said 'or' because I know lots of people who can't stand Logan/Scott and I wasn't sure if you like them...

> Logan saw the color of Scott's eyes, as opposed to the red blasting beams, once. He's not telling what he saw.
> Scott occasionally reads books out loud because he knows Logan is somewhere nearby and will appreciate hearing his voice.
> Logan's bedside manner leaves much to be desired, but after a while, Scott won't let anyone else patch him up.
