Alright! My first X-men: Evolution fanfiction (that I'm posting)! Please tell moi what thou thinkest.

Yeah, I'm wierding me out, too.

I don't know why, but this is a Logue fanfiction. I like that pairing. Guess that's why.

By they by, it's set in the future, after Apocolypse was defeated. :) Enjoy!

...

What Rogue didn't understand, is why it had to be him. Him, with his adamantium claws, excessive healing ability, and an attitude almost as poisonous as her flesh.

Logan, for some reason she couldn't fathom, was the man who had captured her heart.

She never slows down
She doesn't know why
But she knows that
When she's all alone
Feels like it's all
Coming down

"Hey, kid, the prof is wondering what's up. What's up?" Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Could her luck stink any worse?

Don't answer that.

"Nothin'. Why would anything be up?" She snapped harshly. Logan quirked an eyebrow and walked over to her.

"Look, if there's something bothering you, I can try to help."

"No, you'd just run. That's what you always do, you just run." She shouted, her eyes bright.

No crying. She couldn't cry, not even one little tear.

She won't turn around
The shadows are long
And she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down

The look of surprise on the Wolverine's face was unmatched.

"Rogue, I-"

"That's right, you! It's always about you, isn't it? Just for once, can you think of someone other than yourself?"

He tried to speak, tried to say something, but she was on the warpath.

"You've been gone for so long! Every day I would wait, I would always wait! You said it would be soon, but it was three years! Three whole FUCKING years, Logan!" She felt the tears and tried to hold them back, tried to stop them, but she knew it was too much.

As luck would have it, it began to rain. It hid her tears as it plastered her hair to her head and soaked through her clothes.

"Rogue, I don't understand why it's such a big deal."

"You wouldn't, would you."

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all
Coming down
Stand through the pain,
You won't drown
And one day what's lost
Can be found
Just stand in the rain

She grew quiet, just letting the tears fall, and they stood there together. After a moment, Logan spoke.

"I don't know what's the matter, but I wish you would tell me, Rogue. I would listen."

Rogue was silent.

"Please, Rogue. I know I'm not the most emotional guy, and I'm not good with words, but you're important to me."

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight
With herself and the fears
Whispering
'If she stands,
She'll fall down'

"Am I?" She murmured. "You never act like it."

"I know. I'm not real big on that material 'emotional' bullshit."

"That's all it is, isn't it? Just bullshit to you. Everything about love and relationships- at least you can have them! I can't."

"Is that what this is about? Rogue, I've seen you training, you can touch people now."

"That's not what I mean!"

She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything
She's running from
Wants to give up
And lay down

"Then what do you mean?"

"It's... complicated. And private." She hugged herself, cursing her big mouth.

"I can't help if you don't explain."

"You wouldn't be able to help anyway, Logan. If you knew, you'd run. It's all your good at." Her tone was getting hostile again.

"Rogue-"

"No, just go!"

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all
Crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost
Can be found
Stand in the rain

"I won't."

"Just go, damn it!"

"No, Rogue. I'm not going until you tell me what's wrong."

"Damn you to hell, Logan!" She sobbed. "You never pay attention to anything! If you did, you'd know what was wrong!"

"Rogue, you're hard to understand. Will you please just tell me what's the matter?"

"Logan, you're such an idiot!" She sank to her knees and covered her face with her hands. "If you'd been paying attention you'd know that I was in love with you!"

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all
Crashing down
Stand through the pain,
You won't drown
And one day what's lost
Can be found!

Logan's eyes widened slightly and he took a step backwards in surprise. Rogue? In love with him? It didn't make sense... no, now that he thought about it, a lot more things made sense. But how the hell...?

Rogue's shoulder's heaved and she sobbed harder, knowing that now, he truly was gone from her, for good. He was most likely starting his motercycle, getting ready to head off to Timbuktu or Japan or-

Hugging her?

She felt herself be stood up as Logan's arms went around her, his hands resting on the small of her back.

"You thought I would run because you love me? God, Rogue. I may not be emotional, but I sure as hell ain't gonna run when someone says that. Especially when I feel the same way."

She stiffened and pulled away from him slightly.

"You... what?"

He looked at her, smiling only slightly, the rain pressing his hair flat to his head, and nodded.

"You're still young, Rogue. Compared to you, I'm practically ancient."

"I don't care about that."

"I figured. The point I'm trying to make, and I say this at the risk of sounding out of character, is that I love you, that I have loved you, but an old man like me knows better than to act on feelings that have almost no chance of being returned."

"Don't you know anything? Girls love dangerous guys."

"Heh. Guess so." He leaned in to kiss her.

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all
Crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost
Can be found
Just stand in the rain
