The time we laid eyes upon eachother

Hello viewers, Just liked to say that this is my first story and will try my best to portray my vision. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

It was just a regular morning at the mansion, it was five in the morning to be exact and everyone was still fast asleep, except for Rogue. Rogue liked to start her day as early as possible, before all the noise and chattering from the rest of the inhabitants became alive. She usually went for a jog around the mansion for about thirty minutes then made her way to the Danger Room for some training with either Logan or Scott. Rogue just turned 21 this year, and despite her beauty and strength, she had not had a chance at love and it was because of her gift/ curse. Her ability prohibited her to come into any kind of skin to skin contact with anyone else otherwise her powers will absorb the other's personality, memories or powers if they happen to be a mutant. This made Rogue slightly depressed at times although she had been used to it for years. She longed to be touched and loved.

"Ready to start the session?" Logan said as Rogue approached him just outside the Danger Room.

"Ah guess so, could use sum water before though" Rogue said a little out of breath due to the jog she had come from. At this time Logan punched in the seven digit code and in a matter of minutes, they began training by fighting a couple of sentinels.

After a two hour session, Logan and Rogue came out victorious and quite proud of their successful session.

"you've been getting stronger and quicker, kid, I like that. Are you sure you are ok though? I think I saw you limping the last fifteen minutes" Logan exclaimed as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"thanks sugah, I've been trying my best, and yeah ah think ah sprained my ankle and shoulder when that boulder hit me, lemme try an put some weight on it " as Rogue intended to do this, she suddenly fell and let out a groan of pain and discomfort.

"alright kid, lets get that checked out, here let me carry you upstairs to your room and wrap your ankle"

"no logan that's not necessary am fine see?" she then fell to the floor again looking quite embarrassed. At this time Logan took no for an answer and carried her in his arms making sure her skin was not exposed.

"thanks sugah"

"no problem kid, we are going to have to get some ice for you though, we don't want that to swell up"

At this moment, Rogue felt like melting in Logan's arms, she had always found him attractive and quite a good friend. Out of everyone in the house, Rogue trusted Logan with more serious subjects. She felt special around him because it was only her who would gets to see Logan's "affectionate" side. Logan too had special feelings towards Rogue but deep in his heart he knew that he couldn't get involved with her, he was no good for her. Making their way up to Rogue's room, Logan carefully placed Rogue in her bed.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to get some wraps and ice, don't you dare move you hear me?"

"you don't have to go through any trouble, ah can ask Kitty to get them fo-"

"Like I said you stay here and wait for me"

Few minutes later Logan came back with what he promised.

"Here le me wrap mah ankle ah don't wanna put you in risk of touching mah skin"

"Then I guess I'll have to be very careful" said Logan with a grin on his face.

"There see, nothing happened. I'll leave you know then to rest. I'll tell the professor that you are not capable of doing any strenuous work due to your injury. You can unwrap your ankle after you've iced it well enough in case you wanted to take a shower or something. Call me if you need anything"

"Thanks Logan"

"the least I can do kid" with that Logan left and Rogue felt warm inside to have someone like Logan treat her kindly despite his tough and cold exterior.

After twenty minutes or so Rogue was in desperate need of a shower. She felt her hair stick to her scalp and she did not like the feeling. With pain and discomfort she made her way to the other side of her room where her bathroom was located. After showering and dressing into much comfortable clothes, Rogue drifted into a peaceful slumber.

*8:00 p.m

"Oh god, did ah seriously fall asleep for 8 hours? Better head downstairs, ah wonder why no one came up to wake me" as she carefully got up, she realized that her ankle was a little swollen and could not put much weight on it, she managed to make it to her dresser with a limp to pick a presentable outfit. She figured that she didn't want anyone to see her in just an oversize shirt with no pants or shorts under. Rogue put on a pair of green cotton shorts and a plain white shirt and carefully walked downstairs.

"Rogue! Are you okay? I heard about your injury" Kitty dramatically said as she approached her at the top of the stairs.

"Yah I'm 'kay Kitty, no need to make a scene out of it"

"I was just worried, I hadn't seen you all day and thought that it was something serious!"

" well don't ya worry, it was just an ankle injury and a hurt shoulder, well what ah miss?"

"Well the usual, Scott and his dramatic self and afternoon session in the Danger Room, except that it seems we have received a new student. I don't know his name or his whereabouts but I can tell you that he is hunk!" Kitty's eyes sparkled.

New student hmm, ah wonder who

"oh really? Well that's sure interesting. There hasn't been a recruit in quite a while"

"well it seems that this particular guy has attracted the attention of the mansion's female population"

"Even you Kitty?" smiled Rogue.

"I'll pass, I have Bobby and I'm not planning on losing him anytime soon"

"Good to hear, could you be ah darling an help me downstairs, I'm sore and I don't think I'm even capable of flying and I'm really hungry, I'd like to grab a bite"

"Sure thing Rogue"

With that Kitty helped her downstairs to the kitchen to eat some dinner.

It was around 10:30 when they started heading upstairs to their rooms. Kitty helped her get back to bed and dismissed herself with a "Goodnight Rogue!"

"Night Kitty, get some rest and thanks for the help"

"No problem"

As Rogue laid there in darkness, she couldn't help but to think who this new guy was and if he was indeed a recruit.

Ah wonder what's so special about him that has everyone all crazy. I guess ah'll have to find out tomorrow"
