AU. Some stuff made up to go along with the story. There's not really a time period, it's not in the olden days, nor modern times. Rogue is four years younger than Remy, if you are wondering.
Summary- He just finished his thief training and gets an important mission. He leaves for Texas and comes back to New Orleans after 4 years. She's undercover for the Assassins. They meet and fall in love. But was it meant to be? ROMY

Je t'aime I love you
Chapter 1- First mission
New Orleans
Remy LeBeau was a top student at the Academy of Thieves. And he was about to finish his training in a matter of moments. His father Jean-Luc was an elder of the Thieves Guild, so he was practically raised there. He was 18, the age where the apprentices have learned enough to become a Thief. Remy was a natural when it came to training. He was swift, sly and stealthy.
Remy stood first in line to receive the Crescent Seal. The Crescent Seal was what every Thief carried around. It let them in the Guild. The Seal works like a pass, letting you in and out of the Guild. He was nervous, his palms were sweaty. He looked to his left where his father sat with the other elders. He was smiling at Remy. Henri, his brother was nearby, giving him a thumbs-up. Remy forced a smile. Everything is going to be fine…
"Greetings, fellow Thieves." Jean-Luc's voice boomed through the hall. "We are gathered here today to present our academies finest. They will be graduating from the academy today and will be presented with the Crescent Seal. They have proven worthy of it. Let the ceremony begin." He stepped down from the podium.
Dancers went up the stage. They danced gracefully. Remy wasn't interested. He was eyeing the salver where the Seals were placed. His stomach growled. He gulped and turned to his left where he saw a table full of food. His mouth watered. Roast chicken, beef, pork, potatoes in butter and parsley, and especially gumbo. Gumbo, a heavenly dish. Remy couldn't take his eyes of it. Who cares about the Seal when there's food? His tummy growled again and he sighed. It would be a long time until he could eat.
"Psst. Pssssst! Idiot!"
Remy turned around to see his friend, John looking at him. Remy frowned. What did the Aussie want? John joined the academy when he was ten, and since then they had become the best of friends.
"What is it, mon ami?" Remy whispered.
"How long is this thing gonna take?"
"A few hours. It's dis really big t'ing, according to Jean-Luc."
Remy wasn't really Jean-Luc's son. He was adopted. Henri is Jean-Luc's one and only biological son. But Jean-Luc and Henri loved him like family.
"I'm starved, mate. Can we go to the kitchen and grab a bite or something? Fred will give us something, I'm sure. Lance said they won't let us go near the food table, so no luck there."
"Mon ami, Jean-Luc is watching us, besides Remy doesn't want to ruin dis day. It is very important to Remy."
"What? The Seal? Ooh come on, it'll still be here when we come back."
"We're supposed to watch de ceremony. It was prepared for us, the apprentices." Remy said. John pouted.
"But Remy, the ceremony is boring…" John whined.
Remy couldn't take it anymore. His stomach was growling for the thousandth time, it seemed. Plus, the ceremony was boring.
"Ok, fine." Remy finally said. He was prepared to go when someone pulled him back by the shirt.
"Hey!" Lance hissed.
"What?"
"Aren't you taking me?" Remy sighed.
"Come on den." The three guys snuck away to the Guild kitchen.
There, they found extras from the food table and many other dishes which were piping hot and untouched. Fred was dozing off by the corner so the guys stuffed their faces until Fred stirred. They hurried back to the hall. Apprentices were already lining up to take their Seals. Remy rushed back for he was first in line. He pushed his way through. Second in line, Warren was prepared to walk up when Remy zoomed past him. He stopped in front of Jean-Luc. Jean-Luc looked at him sternly before giving him the Seal. But then Jean-Luc smiled and patting his shoulder. Remy grinned. He knew Jean-Luc was proud. Henri whistled and clapped like a maniac.
Remy winked at John and walked down the steps. Warren shook his head and went up. Remy sat by Henri who patted his back. Remy looked at the small golden Seal in his hand. It was small and gold and was shaped like a crescent, hence its name, Crescent Seal. It was engraved with his name. He squeezed it.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Mate, what are we going to do now?"
Remy shrugged as Jean-Luc came in. He stood up.
"Remy, I think we should discuss your future." He said. He turned to John. "Yours too."
John sat down on a chair. Remy continued to stand.
"Remy, have you considered being a teacher at the Guild?" Remy shook his head.
"Porqoui? Y' want Remy to teach? Like Henri?"
"It is an option. And you can still go on missions."
Remy frowned. "If Remy cans till go on missions, why would Remy teach?"
"Well, you are not going on missions 24/7, Remy. Just important ones." Jean-Luc said. Remy nodded.
John looked at them both. "I don't want to be a teacher."
"No. I have a special mission for you."
"Why can't I go?" Remy asked. John looked at Jean-Luc for answers.
"Remy, it seems you have made yourself popular with the other Guilds. The Assassins complained that you have been stealing off their property during a truce meeting."
Remy grinned sheepishly.
"Listen carefully John." Jean-Luc said seriously and the boy nodded. "I want you to go spy on the Assassins. You will go as a new recruit. Because you're 18, an age where you are qualified to take the Seal, they'll give you training for a few months and evaluate you. If, I mean when you pass, they'll give you the Assassins Seal. A silver dagger shaped thing. Continue to stay there. Pass on any important information you can get, whether it be their next war with us or their newest recruits. Everything. In time, hopefully a few years, they'll trust you enough to let you in their inner circle."
"Inner circle?"
"The best of guild members are in the inner circle. You have great potential, John. You can succeed."
"What if they have a war?"
Remy knew what the question meant. What if they made John join? He'd have to kill Thieves to prove he is an Assassin. His cover will be blown.
"Get out of it if you can. If you can't, I'll instruct the Thieves not to attack you."
"Then I attack them?" John asked, his eyes wide with disbelief. He stared at Jean-Luc. Remy looked down.
"Yes." Jean-Luc said. John sighed.
Now he knew why Jean-Luc didn't want him to go. If he went, he might have to kill Thieves. And Jean-Luc was an elder. He needed to protect the LeBeau family and it's good name in the Guild. He patted John's shoulder.
"It's y'r call mon ami, y' can take it or leave it."
"I'll do it, sir." John said after a while. Jean-Luc smiled.
"Very well. Both of you, come along. The inner circle wishes to speak with you."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Remy LeBeau, if you agree to teach, you will receive the Star Seal."
Remy LeBeau's jaw dropped open as he listened to Elder Jacob. The Star Seal was far more valuable than the Crescent Seal. A priceless gift.
"The Star Seal lets you command everybody in the Guild, not including elders of course. You can't control other members who have the Star Seal but anyone else. Of course you are to use for the good of the Guild, not yourself." Elder Jacob explained. Remy already knew this though. Henri has told him stories about them when they were little.
Star Seal. You could command a whole army of Thieves with that.
"But Remy is agreeing to be a teacher, Elder Jacob. Only a teacher."
"Yes. But there is another mission for you where you will put the Star Seal to good use."
Remy wondered.
"You will be journeying to the west, the home of the Bandits."
Remy raised his eyebrows. Journeying to the west, home of bandits? Huh?
"He means Texas, Brownsville, Bandits Guild." Jean-Luc said.
The elders nodded.
"Oui. Y' want Remy to go dere?"
"Yes."
"Porqoui?"
"To kill their leader. Bryan."
Remy turned around to Jean-Luc. "Bandits Guild? Dat place is dangerous! Kill Bryan Pakk? Dat's se suuicider!" (to commit suicide)
"Remy LeBeau, are you up to it?"
Remy gulped and nodded when Jean-Luc nudged him.
"How long does Remy have?"
"Four years. Get recruited into the Bandits Guild."
Remy nodded. "Y' won't let Remy take the Assassin mission because they already know Remy."
Elder Lee nodded. "That's why you're getting this mission."
"Den when can Remy teach?"
"When you get back."
"So, when do we start?"
"You will leave tomorrow."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"There's a small group of Thieves there, they will help if you show them the Star Seal." Jean-Luc gave Remy a pat on the shoulder again.
"Too bad I didn't get a Star Seal." John sighed.
"John, you don't need one. You won't be killing anyone." Lance said. John stuck his tongue out.
"Mon ami, be careful. Don't get found out."
"You too, mate. Bandits are dangerous. Thieves are no match with them in battle."
Remy nodded and shook John's hand.
"Au revior." Remy said.
"Goodbye."
